The Hip Hop Thread

[RockSP]

I'm no Eminem jock-rider but that's not even a debatable match up.

That's like Puffy vs. Pharoah Monch.

 

[SouLeSS]

Whats the song called? Drop the World?

 

[Crook]

Yup.

I noticed Wayne strayed from his usual, wacky flow this time around. Personally I think he took note of Em's guest appearance and actually put effort in what he had to say. Both of 'em handled it well.

 

[Manic]

Holy crap, it has Lil Wayne putting forth an effort? Like he did about 10 years ago when he was listenable?! I've got to hear that song, then.

 

[SouLeSS]

That was a pretty horrible song, tbh.

 

[Crook]

It certainly was no Renagade. But then again, Em hasn't had to contend with anyone on Jay's level, ever since.

 

[knowsbleed]

Jay's level? Hmm...


I don't think Jay's lyrical content has had a level in quite a while. Though I love his music... his "level" has been fairly pop-ish lately. The closest he's come to a Dirt Off Your Shoulder type level of head noddage was maybe Swagger... and that wasn't even on BP3 like it was supposed to be.

Well Renegade was originally with Royce, so it's not like Em tried harder just because Jay was on the track. He needs to get back on a track with Royce so we can hear some crazy **** again.

Em + Royce x Black Milk Production (and hell, let's throw in a Black verse while we're at it) = Hip-Hop Gold!!!

 

[Neptune]

Definitely!!! Royce, Ezlhi and Black Milk are working on a album too. You already know that's gonna be classic.

Am I the only one who thinks "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" is overrated?

Even if Empire State of Mind is popish, I can't dislike it even if I tried.

 

[knowsbleed]

Yes... you are the only one... that song bangs like no other.


Empire State of Mind, while def my fave song off that album... is definitely pop.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Nas' New York State of Mind is better!

 

[Ipodman]

I kinda like Jay-Z recent more pop-ish sound.... but thats just me, i can understand why most people will go for his older stuff....

 

[Ace of Knaves]

**** my old man likes Jay-Z's recent stuff, whilst back in the day he hated him. Goes to show how much has changed.

But I do still like Jay-Z. Just not as much as I used to. To be honest I don't like hip hop as much as I used to. There is only a handful of artists that I like now. The rest of it is either bubblegum pop crap or fake gangster wannabe crap ie Weezy.

Mainstream? t:

Is "Low" considered "bubblegum pop crap" or "fake gangster wannabe crap"?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Low is just crap.

 

[knowsbleed]

Yes, but when Low first came it... ladies loved it. That's all that mattered to me.

 

[KenK]

"Low" is a blight in the entire pop culture scene.

 

[knowsbleed]

blight... haha.

 

[MadVillainy]

Low is no where near as bad as Soulja Boy or Bow Wow or Gucci Mane

 

[SolarTiger]

What the-Wasn't Lasers supposed to come out this fall? Now it's almost 2010 and I still haven't heard anything new on it. Anyone have any idea when it's coming out?

 

[ComicChick]

i agree. Low is catchy as heck

 

[CrypticOne]

Sometime in 2010.

I know. Every album that I wanted was supposed to come by the end of the year. Now everything got pushed back to 2010. And people wonder why the general public illegally downloads stuff....
