The Hip Hop Thread

[terry78]

Nas' ass be all over the map with his **** anyways. Can't pinpoint him.

[RockSP]

^^That's probably why him and KRS get along.

[Super_Ludacris]

...and why with another "contradicting" MC 2pac, they round the Top 5 MC's of all time.

Niccas need diversity in the lyrics. I'm not sweating anything of them for life lessons but I do think that mentality makes them more intruiging

[Super_Ludacris]

I don't even go on that site anymore. :o

But you don't think him sidin' with 50 is an L? Maybe if this was back in '02, when people actually liked Fif, but not now. Especially not after all the **** they've said to each other.

Like I said no worse than Curtis dissing someone for attention every album or in this case releasing 6 videos, dissing Kanye, then making peace with him on stage and then dissing him again and then making peace with him again and then dissing him the next day...

50 and Nas aint exactly 50 and JA. A couple of jabs on record and on stage is hardly anything to sneeze about


People were already criticizing him for signing UNDER a dude that f'd his baby momma. He'll get even more **** for teaming up with the rap world's most hated ego.

Not really.... Both Jay and Nas are married and got million dollar deals. LA Reid hands the papers and makes the moves and whether you liked or hated HHID it definetly didnt have any Hov influence sans the collabo. If Hov had influence Bleek, Freeway and the gunners would get that Rick Ross/Jeezy type push.

Carmen?

I mean Carmen is the one who took the L. She had a baby with both Nas and Jay ( except she aborted Jay's kid) and then put her and there's business out there in a book, while the two men she two timed are friends on some Usher/R Kelly. Nas knew they were fing back in 99. Hence why she says in the book when Super Ugly hit the radio Nas called her cell laughing saying "Carm your boyfriend is on the radio". I mean look at Nasir, he never cares what people say. Give him some trees, a book on African horroscopes and a horror flick and he's good.

In your opinion SL. Don't forget people base "greatest" on a lot of different categories for emcees :up:

[Colossal Spoons]

God, "Curtis" is soooo bad.

When the CD drops, FFW to "Peep Show" as it's the best song on the CD. :up:

[Super_Ludacris]

Nah. Tupac will never be in my top 10. (Well I don't even really have a top 10...I like too many emcees. But if I did...he wouldn't be there)

Not true. Each person has their own opinion and does not have to share the same vaules as the majority of the rest of the Hip Hop community. Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing them in anyway, but I wouldn't even compare KRS and Tupac. IMHO they are just two different breed of emcees.

I mean someone could easily say if you don't have Biggie, Rakim, Jay-Z, Kool G Rap and Slick RIck in your top 5 you are not Hip Hop. But then that would make eight Emcees wouldn't it?

[bullets]

not everyone has to like krs .

[Poeman]

kanye west's album >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 50 cent's album

the only reason theres any appeal to 50's album curtis is cause of justin timberlake and timbaland

but kanyes stuff is sweet

[Colossal Spoons]

The rapidshare link to Kanye's died before I could get it.

Thankfully, I got Curtis in time! :dry:

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I could care less what 50 cent has to say......ever again.

[Colossal Spoons]

"Peep Show" If you listen to only 1 song off of "Curtis", make it that :up:

there really isnt much more he could say.

[aaron]

is fifty a good actor?

[RockSP]

He's somewhere between Keanu Reeves and Master P.

Actually, I couldn't tell ya since I haven't seen GRODT. Most rappers aren't though...

Mos Def, Will Smith and LL all have earned my respect as actors. :up:

[Colossal Spoons]

Mos Def killled it in that movie w/ Bruce Willis!

[bullets]

you mean mos def killed that movie.

[RockSP]

Mos Def, Will Smith and LL all have earned my respect as actors. :up:

^^Mos Def...Most Definitely (nudge,nudge...wink,wink).

I can't really agree with the other two. Though from the trailer and little clips I saw of Pursuit of Happyness maybe Will is finally trying to do something.

[Cmill216]

I can't really agree with the other two.

Will Smith's a pretty darn credible actor at this point in his career. Two Academy Award nominations, man.

[terry78]

^And both for his ability to say "heeeeeeeeell naw!"

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I never said LL is great. But for a rapper turned actor he is at least as good as actors in Hollywood that made it their career.

Not to mention when you think of how good of a rapper he used to be and that acting is his second career then take say oh I don't know. Athletes that have tried to become rappers.....yeah they sucked.

[RockSP]

Will Smith's a pretty darn credible actor at this point in his career. Two Academy Award nominations, man.

Doesn't really mean much except that he is real popular. After all, Halle has an oscar and Angela Bassett doesn't.

[aaron]

I just love getting the chance to say 'Ladies Love Cool James'

[Cmill216]

Doesn't really mean much except that he is real popular. After all, Halle has an oscar and Angela Bassett doesn't.

I call BS on that.

For a rapper to become a credible enough actor for the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences to recognize him twice for completely different roles in a span of six years is respect by itself. To become popular enough at something (putting asses in the seats to see your films) you have to have some sort of ability in that arena.

His performance in Happyness was stellar.

^And both for his ability to say "heeeeeeeeell naw!"

No one does it better.

Having ability and being good at that ability are two different things. Look at Paris Hilton, she seems to be pretty damn popular, what the is her ability? Other than sucking at life.

[Cmill216]

popular enough at something

So by my logic:
Paris Hilton is a popular media whore. Reason? She's pretty talented in the area of media whoring.

Well we're just gonna have to disagree. Not everyone who wins an oscar-- much less those that are nominated --deserves one. Arnold and Sylvester used to put asses in seats and they can't act for *****.

His performance in Happyness was stellar.

Like I said, it looked like his one good performance so far from what I've seen of it which is only the preview and clips from talkshows. He normally just plays himself.

[Cmill216]

Well, I guess the whole original point was whether or not somebody like Smith has earned the respect as a rapper turned actor. And considering the pool from which he's coming from, and his accomplishments and performances to this point, I have to say he has. *shrug*

[RockSP]

Athletes that have tried to become rappers.....yeah they sucked.

Shaq is the greatest and you know it. I say he should play Othello in the next hollywood version.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Wait...greatest athelete turned rapper or actor......?

Kobe for Iago.

[RockSP]

Wait...greatest athelete turned rapper or actor......?

Shaq is a triple threat, homie.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I know but which is he the greatest at?

[RockSP]

He should do the entire soundtrack for a movie starring himself as a basketball player. Then we would know.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Trying to visualize that is making my head bleed. :(

[RockSP]

I just love getting the chance to say 'Ladies Love Cool James'

You know, it seems that rappers don't do the acronym thing as much as they used to...

Ladies Love Cool James

There certain MC's that just have to be in the top 10 and Pac on impact and productivity and influcence gets it. I dont even like dude like that. Plus post 94-96 his lyrical ability improved. Of course Big, Jay and Ra are in there. Slick Rick would be like 11 to me cause he had like one maybe 2 good albums and G. Rap is one of my favs but he loses out when you compare him to the others in that group that have achieve more.

[LexCorp]

There is a song out at the moment that I like...may be Jay Z...

"Don't act like I never told ya!"

I think it is mixed with a dance type track.

Still listening to Canibus' For Whom the Beat Tolls while at work. It's pretty raw, as I said before. Too bad not many mainstreamers are getting to hear it.

[Super_Ludacris]

I like Jay and Nas, there my two fav MC's but lol@ Jim Jones

When he flipped that Ballin remix on Jay two-times that was funny

"Go old head, ohhh I'm scaaared Camel-Face. Tell Nas to buy you a Kufi so I smack em off both your heads!!!!"

"Yo Jay, you and Nas remind me of the golden girls....two old bytches" " Nas is Rose and Jay is Blanche"

meanwhile Jimmy's like only two years younger than Esco and he ends up going to Nas Birthday and wants to do a song with him.

lol@ Dips. There's so childishly funny, how can you hate em

Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Been hit with a few shells now I walk with a limp. That's gangsta. No one owns any but we'll dance to that **** in the club. We'll dance to anything...****ing cha cha slide.

[ShaneHelms]

You mean you guys didn't love "I'll Whip Ya Head Boy"?

I actually only cared for Young Buck's part in that song.

Three 6 Mafia could have made a better song

Hustler's Ambition, Have a Party and Things Change were the best songs on that Soundtrack.

DIP UNIT? Jim Jones joining G-Unit??? (http://nahright.com/news/2007/09/06/dip-unit/#more-2121)

http://nahright.com/news/wp-content/images/jimmy-zeke-juelz.jpg

So the cat’s out of the bag. Curtis interviewed Capo for some BET special yesterday and it’s airing on Monday. For some reason I thought maybe that would stay on the low until next week, but I should’ve known that wasn’t gonna happen.


So now, the rumor is that Jimmy is going to join the Unit (http://allhiphop.com/blogs/rumors/archive/2007/09/06/18541856.aspx). What a dumbass move that would be. Capo already has somewhat of a track record as a soloist and a rabid Dipset fanbase, so why would he ever son himself with a move like that? So what, you’re gonna run around yelling G-Unit now? You lost.

It’s not like you’re Mobb or M.O.P. and you need G-Unit to make you relevant with the kids. And then what happens if Curtis flops? Because we all know that’ll be the end of the Unit once and for all. Just keep hawking your skull belt buckles and Sizzurp and pray for another "Balllin" Jim.

Update: End of discussion, its not happening (http://www.missinfo.tv/?p=262). Or is it, and this is all a big smoke screen? Does anybody give a ****?

[KenK]

The only one worth a damn in G-Unit is Young Buck. He's the only one with a halfway decent combination of skill and personality. I don't know why Yayo was ever even part of the clique. And Lloyd Banks is MushMoth.

If Jim Jones is moving over to G-Unit, nothing's ever gonna become of him. If he ever manages to cut an album, it'll either get shelved, or do double wood. M.O.P. and Mobb Deep's careers are no better than, if not worse than they were before signing with G-Unit. And I'll never forget Mobb Deep in particular, bragging about their "signing bonus", some Ferarris!! Nothing of REAL value, just some damn sports cars! Ig'nant muh-f***as!!

Nice. I'm surprised the 2 even showed up to the same photoshoot. Didn't really think there a place enough to hold those 2 egos in. Watching the video though, it's no surprise 50 is clearly the more confident one. Ye has always seemed to back down when it comes to people like Dre, Jay, Em, and Fif.

Any word on that possible new Eminem album coming this November?
Not to sound like a racist, but goddamn, f**k that white boy. Seriously, is anyone checking for this kid, besides the ones that will ride on his jock 'till the day he dies?

He has been utter ass for 5 years now. You know dude has fell off when a rapper of his caliber does collabos like "Smack That, Touchdown, and Peep Show". Whatever happened to the hungry Detroit kid that rarely did any featured songs, and when he did, absolutely MURDERED the track? This kid outshined Hova, and held his own with Biggie on a single track. Infinite potential that's gone to absolute waste.

Eminem has fell off hard. I haven't seen that much of a steep decline since Prodigy. Some dudes just don't know when to f'n quit.

Till I collapse I’m spilling these raps, long as you feel 'em,
Till the day that I drop you’ll never say that I’m not killing them
Cause when I am not then I'ma stop pinnin them,
And I am not hip-hop and I’m just not Eminem.

[n'bleed]

Let's talk about some good music. I'll def be picking up Common's CD on the 11th; how is it?

I like it better than Be. Just more range in there for me. Be was a little too overproduced for Common IMO. He needs a more simple type beat. The Corner was the PERFECT beat for him but then Ye went and stamped his brand of beats all over the place. It just didn't fit for Comm.

[Incrediblejeff]

I also liked FF better than BE,and Welcome to the Hype n'bleed.

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, welcome man. I take it you are "of pigment"? :D

[n'bleed]

thanks for the welcome...I'm loving quite a few new albums actually.

I actually love the new Ye album...not as overproduced as I thought it would be.
I dig the new Mos album...though its not as nice on the beats...I miss blackstar
FF is nice as hell...Common is truly forever
Talib's joint is really nice...Say Something with Jean Grae is a standout for me :up:

[n'bleed]

Yeah, welcome man. I take it you are "of pigment"? :D

LOL...i'mna take you cokes!

[Colossal Spoons]

Oooooooh :D

[KenK]

Can they just make a full album together, already?!?!?:cmad:

[Super_Ludacris]

They have in mixtape form

[FEAR THE BAT]

OK, I may be late on this but I bought the newest Devin the Dude CD the other day and its ridiculous. Devin is back in the groove, I highly recommend it. Also have the new UGK, and boy is that jammin'.

[Super_Ludacris]

The track with Snoop and Andre is alright with me

[FEAR THE BAT]

Yeah, its tight and all but its far from the best on the album.

I see your location. Is it safe to say I have a fellow Nas fan??

[Super_Ludacris]

No question

[FEAR THE BAT]

Thats what I'm talkin'bout. Lotta cats down here ain't to fond of Nas, much less alotta east coast music. I like it from east to west. I must admit, there is mad garbage comin' from the south. My man Pimp C speaks the truth.

[Super_Ludacris]

I mean it is what it is. I know many heads in the south listen to a lotta music, its just the youngins and the ones who didnt listen to rap a few years back who wanna just get down with the local. But I know Chamillionaire, Scarface and UGK get down with Nas and show him love so it all good.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. As far as the artists go there's those that show love for one another and respect each other's skills but its just this rampant outbreak of the ring-a-ding sing songy bulls*** that I get tired of and makes listening to radio stations almost unbearable.

[Super_Ludacris]

Well it aint gonna last too long. Its just ringtone rap that exists for like a month. I mean what happen to the Chicken Noodle Soup girl, Walk it Out guy...etc etc

[FEAR THE BAT]

Straight boo boo man. I swear, that s*** is so wack.

Man, I seriously can't get that Stronger beat outta my head. Heard it on my way to work, its pretty jammin'. Not a mega Kanye fan, some of his stuff is cool but I guess that techno voice and the beat is so melodic. Its jammin' to me.

[Super_Ludacris]

Yeah it knocks

[FEAR THE BAT]

So, you gonna try and make Fiddy retire or you gonna support him??

[Super_Ludacris]

I dont know yet, both albums aint classics but I suppose I will cop Kanye on principal alone, I aint brought a CD in like 9 months lol. Its all Downloading

[FEAR THE BAT]

Most of the time its the same here. Me and 2 homies usually go in on some blank cds and burn s*** but there's those certain albums I like to have just to have. I'll probably listen to both online and make a decision if I want the album or not.

[Super_Ludacris]

Yeah I brought a stack last christmas (Hip Hop is Dead, Kingdom Come, Hell Hath No Fury, Big Bang, 4:21 Tical, Blue Carpet Treatment, Food and Liquor, Doctor's Advocate and Game Theory) but that was about it. More than what I brought the previous 2 years.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Before the new Devin and UGK I'm not even sure which albums I got. Its been awhile.

[Super_Ludacris]

Its been awhile

[FEAR THE BAT]

Damn straight its been. Whats the new s*** coming out soon??

[chamber-music]

Good. I'm partial to Be, but I know many prefer FF. It's a good record.

Its funny people who like Be aren't liking Finding Forever much and vice a versa.

Damn straight its been. Whats the new s*** coming out soon??

I'll be straight up, I get all these new mother****ers confused. I mean all the ones that have a new dance step/club banger out every other week. Seriously. I'm going on 30, so I can either chalk that up to me getting old, or just not giving a **** anymore.

[Colossal Spoons]

I would rather listen to some Spank Rock and Plastic Little.

Ok, so I just caught this bit of info. I am sure most of you know it already but...

50 issued a challenge to Kanye West saying that if KW's album sold more records than his he would stop his solo rap career forever?

Brilliant. Rappers should take a page outta this book and do something like this. Remember Kanye's version of "Throw Some D's"? Haha, that was funny, even though it wasn't a direct insult.

nbgg3_0oUe0

But I know there are a lot more rappers that hate the crunk-style music, that aren't speaking up. Spoofing it is a great way of doing it.

anybody heard 50's new song "get money" it has a good beat, but thats it.
I'm not gon' lie, the hook is pretty damn hot. That gets everyone riled up.

"I---I get it.........I RUN NEW YAWK!"

Not with Lil Wayne and 50 doing the bulk of the rhyming and ghostwriting. Weezy can spit but still **** that....

I just like it better home-slice. There is only one track I usually skip on Be, whereas FF has a few.

It's a good record. Whether or not it's as good as whatever album you want to compare it to is pretty much up for debate, but I haven't seen anybody in this thread who doesn't at the very least think it's a good record.

How you feel about Graduation overall? I think I like it a lot more than I did on my first listen. Still his weakest effort imo, but that's not really saying much considering his work.

[aaron]

which one has 'gone' on the record?

Wow. So with, say, an uptempo song you can feel all of the percussion and bass?

usually I can tell from the vibrations itself what music instrument is being play, I do go to concerts and sit in front and can see and feel what's being played,
hard to describe but I learn how to tune myself to the sounds. *shrugs* best I can say how I do it.

Not to be an ass, but what do you mean by "really great stuff"? Pretty much every lyrical content on 'Curtis' has been the same **** we've been hearing from 99% of other rappers out there. He didn't even try to do a meaningful song. At the very least, 'GRODT' and 'The Massacre' had "Many Men" and "A Baltimore Love Thing". Here it was just.....guns and sex. :huh:

what a moronic statement :down

I buy CD's all the time, I can feel the music when I play them
Again, not being an ass, but.....what does that do? I mean asides from the obvious of "feeling" vibrations?

Just to play devil's advocate (since I never have and never will voluntarily listen to a 50 cent album)...if he had put a "meaningful song" on there would that make the album good to you?

[Cmill216]

Just to play devil's advocate (since I never have and never will voluntarily listen to a 50 cent album)...if he had put a "meaningful song" on there would that make the album good to you?

It sure as hell wouldn't matter to me. He could've thrown in "Hate It Or Love It" and it still would be a terrible album...with one good song.

[Crook]

Just to play devil's advocate (since I never have and never will voluntarily listen to a 50 cent album)...if he had put a "meaningful song" on there would that make the album good to you?
Of course not. The album would have to contain more thought-out content. When I heard songs like "Hate It Or Love It", "Many Men", "A Baltimore Love Thing", "Hustler's Ambition"....I was at least hopeful that his talent hadn't completely waned out. So I can forgive him Just a Lil' Bit (pun intended) if his album falters.

Here...just no. He's had such a long time to refine this album, but came with nada. Another Aftermath artist bites the talent-bucket. :down
