  4. ALBUM REVIEWS

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted

    I'm about done with these new Tupac albums, ever since Better Dayz. It just got maxed out for me. "Soon As I Get Home", was I guess the only undoctored track. It was just remastered.

    I seen the advertise for Jagged Edge and Ginuwine last night too. That's a shame about the greatest hits. It'd a probably been better if a DJ did it. I made my own JE best of, which was just their singles and unreleased songs. And I used the full 80 mins. I can't believe "Goodbye" was even on there.

    Thanks Luigie. Yeah, that one of the things I always worry about. Not sayin enough in one verse. Gotta really think when your writing.

    Thanks as well Ash Trey. What other songs did you like that came out in 2006? I probably have a lot of the same ones you do.

    So it has been quite a while since I've done audio-audio. I've been puttin' together a wide array of stuff. This bein' the most recent. It's a remix to Kenn Starr's "If" w/ Asheru & Talib Kweli from his 'Starr Status' album. Anyway, I'm lookin' for any critques/opinons you may have.

    If it wasn't for, me sittin' the bench

    I wouldn't had the thoughts to represent, rhythms comin' outta a pen

    and I wouldn't have found the heart for me to be better than

    the next man or the pessimist views that made me say Damn!

    If I didn't choose to attend a smaller college

    wouldn't have got the same friends or the same knowledge

    I utilize everything I been thru

    Put my vibes out by choice and end up relatin' to people

    A small town legend or a worldwide blessin'

    Potential, the proposed question in a Weekly Bread session

    Don't know it, but I keep goin'

    and I'm a prove it to myself, if I can't to them

    Bring the Rawkus when I backpack with conscious raps

    See the lyricist in me when I'm a live show act

    Get in the industry, I'm prepared for them to diss me

    Don't know the outcome, but if I don't try, it's history

  18. Will's says he still loves hip-hop

    in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince

    1.Yeah you either got it or you don't, 50 don't got it, he was never better than average, I remember seeing AJ make a comment about 2.why doesn't 50 rap like Rakim if he claimed to have grown up saying that he loved listening to Rakim check his melody but the truth is that he don't have the skills to do so, even if he wanted to try harder, hey I loved watching Michael Jordan play basketball but that don't mean I could play like him, 50 just don't have the talent even though he wish he did...

    Now this ain't the first time Will/LL have rapped with rappers that ain't on their level, they're just trying to be team players, not everyone on the team's a superstar but that don't mean you quit the team, 3.I'd rather see them work with 50 than see them retire, you make the best with what you have when you're in the game, and how do you know that 50 didn't want to work with them? After all millions of people in 50's generation grew up on these great rappers like FP and LL, I think that as long as it's a respectful collaboration it's all good with me and it's good for hip-hop to see ol' school and new school come together 4.but if 50 trys to gets FP and LL involved in his silly beefs then it wouldn't be good... Really though if Will comes out and calls 50 Cent garbage is that really good for hip-hop? I don't think so, Will's gonna be snooping to 50's level, he'd be going into a foolish beef, rappers need to evolve beyond beefing, it's played out, if it's in good fun on the mic then that's cool but it ain't that way nomore, "Lost and found" was done in a tasteful way just a call for all rappers to step their game up, come up with your own style, Will's telling rappers to be themselves, rap with your soul and don't just do what the record label tells you to do to sell records,and Will's shown that he loves hip-hop more than most rappers, 5.could you name me how many rappers have done 9 albums or more? It's a very short list, Will lives and breathes hip-hop, he is hip-hop, actions speak louder than words...

    1. That is not what I said or meant. 50 doesn't got what? Skill? 9/10 on this forum would surely say NO! I meant, 50 Cent is not changing his style for anyone. He might vary it a slight bit but ONLY to make money. Now what he does with that money is on him. Buy a car, buy a house, make a more affordable computer for the hood, whatever. You either accept 50's "G-Unit" way or you don't. You like his Power of A Dollar, his mixtape status, his GRODT, his Massacre album, his collabos, his clique, all or any combination. That's what I was saying. Who has totally flipped the way they rap? I mean TOTALLY FLIPPED. THINK about THAT. Not even Nas has FLIPPED. He's just a matured artist. KRS-One (<----you see this Ted) didn't FLIP. This is not to say I'm so right, I dare somebody to prove me wrong. Just think about it, the point I'm tryna bring about.

    2. Why doesn't 50 Cent rap like Rakim? You wanna say skill, ok, but '50 on Power of A Dollar' and '50 on Get Rich...' are different. He can't rap that easy or quick. Or maybe he purposely changed his style cause of Lloyd Banks advice. I don't know. Let's say 50 Cent kept his G-Unit way but rapped like Rakim. Would you suddenly listen? You would at least peep right?

    3. Are you sure you are not going to regret saying that in the future? Do you at least understand the context of what you said right there? (and I agree with KevTastic, this has just got people overhyped and panicky)

    4. 50 can try all day. It's not going to happen. I mean it's is very slim as a possibility. I can picture what Will could say. But it just doesn't make any sense. Who has 50 been beefin' wit as of late anyway? cause I sure as heck don't know. What is Will Smith gonna say against The Game? Will knows where most of his haters are at, at least those that matter. There is no guarantee when it comes to beef. NaS & Jay-Z pushed the limits a lil bit, but look at where they are now.

    5. Yeah it is a short list. But is it at least some quality material? Ain't got to be a million either. You very well know that. Nas, 2pac, LL Cool J, Too Short, Will Smith (obviously, why would you mention it here?), Master P (if I'm not mistaken), Snoop is close ain't he?

    The Hip Hop world is just getting deeper and deeper on so many levels here lately. It's a wonder what we as fans could see next.

    Who said that JJFP don't matter anymore? Most of those comments I read shows that they seem to know that JJ+FP are still vital to the rap game, if they do another album I think it'll do well too 'cause real music is needed right now

    I don't think you understood what I was getting at. I didn't say YOU guys. I said THESE guys (meaning JJ+FP). I must not know how to read or something. :bangcomp: But you know what, I am sick of arguing, debating, etc. and I'll just watch and let whatever take it's course with these guys, I mean JJFP.

    What is wrong with these guys? It's like the music they made together doesn't even matter any more. I realize Will Smith is a middle-aged man with kids and a wife and all that, but "The Fresh Prince" carries a huge title. FPOBA has been on TV forever. Everybody whose anybody whose somebody whose nobody and etc. has seen it or heard about it. The show is still funny to young and old. Maybe TV+Music doesn't work so well for Brooke Hogan, Ice T, Diddy, etc., but it can definitely work for Will. Will can bring in the mainstream, and Jeff can bring in the underground. I really don't see why whoevers eyes aren't wide enough to see it.

    What in the world?!? 50 Cent is not going to change. Nobody can do anything about it. 50 will rap better? So are you thinking he could totally do a 180 and rap like some LL, FP, Run DMC, etc. You either take 50 for what he's done and become or you don't.

    Has Will Smith ever done anything THIS "disappointing" (according to this forum) in the past?
