Frenetic

I deeply hope that Lupe wins some.

"Guest" was me...

"Guest" is me. First impression is really good. Gotta listen thru it a couple times more, but as of now... it feels bettert han Food & Liqour and Kingdom Come. Blunt Ashed, Still Dreaming, Let There Be Light and Black Republican are all really, really good. Can't wait to have the real CD in my hands.

Check out this interview with him talking about Hiphop, new artists and more. http://pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/...w_Interview_Nas

Another song from Hiphop Is Dead has leaked. The titletrack, Hustlers feat The Game and now Can't forget about you feat Chrisette Michele has leaked. The other two songs are good bangers. But this song is truly magnificant. On the same level as He Say, He Say from Lupes album, Lost One from Jays album and so on. It's basically about Hiphop and him. The song is a anthem/chillout song with another astonishing feature from Chrisette Michele. Qoutables: "Collidin with big names that could've made your career stop, but I'm still here, and I'm still hot". "Can't forget when the first rap grammy went to Jazzy and Fresh Prince." The other two songs are really good too. If he keeps this up it could probably be another Stillmatic, and why not a Illmatic? I've had this song on repeat for like an hour now. Just can't stop feeling it. Incredible!

Straight fiiiiiiyyyaaaah. Shine on Em Video From the movie Blood Diamonds.

Alright... now everybody got some kind of wierd thought or idea or theory inside their head. But it's not always they dare to express it to other people. So in this thread you are free to express that opinion. Just spill it out. in any other way In order to keep the thread clean and without argues, it has two rules: You may NOT answer to or debate an post. And the thing you're about to express may not be discriminating or hurtful to others. I'll start: 1. I really, really, really hate some of Wills movies. Wild Wild West? What the hell man? Wild Wild Crap. Bad Boys 2? Come oooon! MIB 2? Cooomeee on again. 2. I'm an atheist. 3. I believe that there is an cure for aids already, but the pharmaceutical companys don't see it being profitable since 95% of the Aids/HIV sick people in the world cannot afford to buy medicine.

I can also feel this. But there are too many songs that doesn't say anything. He should cut out 3-4 songs, that would make it a really good album.

But actuallt. He ain't showing off. He's just driving thru the city. It's a smart move cause it's a cool car and of course... people would debate it and it would give the song some hype . He ain't like sitting besides his rims with a smile. he just cruisin.

dparrot// You just made a complete fool out of yourself. RnB chorus... hahaha... yeah right.

Lost Ones which is considered to be one of or the best song of his latest album is also his second single. A song that isn't radiofriendly or very mainstream. Lyrics: I heard mother****ers saying they made Hov Made Hov say, "Ok so, make another Hov" Niggaz wasn't playing they day role So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo I shoulda been did it but I been in a daze though I put friends over business end of the day though But when friends, business interests as they go Ain't nothing left to say though I guess we forgot what we came fo' Shoulda stayed in food and beverage Too much flossing Too much Sam Rothstein I ain't a bitch but I gotta divorce them Hov have to get the shallow **** up off him And I ain't even want to be famous Niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes And I ain't even know how it came to this Except that fame is The worst drug known to man It's stronger than, heroin When you could look in the mirror like, "There I am" And still not see, what you've become I know I'm guilty of it too but, not like them You lost one (Chorus w/ Marsha) [Jay-Z] Lose one, let go to get one Left one, lose some to win some [You lost one] Sorry I'm a champion, sorry I'm a champion You lost one I don't think it's meant to be, be But she loves her work more than she does me And honestly, at twenty-three I would probably love my work more than I did she So B, ain't we It's me, and her 'Cause what she prefers over me, is work And that's, where we, differ So I have to give her Free, time, even if it hurts So breathe, mami, it's deserved You've been put on this earth to be All you can be, like the reserves And me? My time in the army, it's served So I have to allow she, her, time to serve The time's now for her In time she'll mature And maybe we, can be, we, again like we were Finally, my time's too short to share And to ask her now, it ain't fair So yeah, she lost one chorus I never died in the car I bought So I'm under the belief it's partly my fault Close my eyes and squeeze, try to block that thought Place any burden on me, but please, not that lord Time don't go back, it go forward Can't run from the pain, go towards it Some things can't be explained, what caused it? Such a beautiful soul, so pure, **** Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it Til that time, little man I'm nauseous Your girlfriend's pregnant, the lord's gift Almost lost my faith, that restored it It's like having your life restarted Can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it So now I'm child-like, waiting for a gift To return, when I lost you, I lost it But... Jay knows how to hustle, even though it ain't about hustling crack, this song might be a hit even though it isn't a mainstream song. Why? Cause the video will most defi cause controversy cause Jay drives the Mayback Excelero. A truly one of a kind car, cause there is just one of it for sale. And that one car costs two million dollars.

http://community.allhiphop.com/showthread.php?t=327528 Check out that thread for some good opinions talking about Kingdom Come and it's grown up sound.

Snoop - Tha Blue carpet treatment: 7/10 Nice beats, hungry sound and some good topics. Could be shorter to. I could easily drop 3-4 songs and make it a definite classic. "Imagine" is one of this years best songs, and that's a good achievement. The Game - Doctors Advocate: 6,5/10 The best songs on the album are really good, but it gets too repititive and his lyrical skills can't make up for that. Some really great qoutables though, the one about his brother and the rolex in "Ol English" is true damn poetry. He can make big things with small measures, but he needs to be more diverse. Jay-Z - Kingdom Come: 8/10 I place this as his fourth best album. And that's not considering the ones above it are Reasonable doubt, The blueprint and The Black Album. The best AND worst side of this album is that the album grows on you. At first you're like: hmm... ok. But then you listen to it and you dig more and more. It has a couple of tracks that are fantastic. Beach Chair is the best with a poetry type of lyrics and a insane beat by Dr.Dre & Chris Martin. The thing that draws this album down is three songs in the middle. It starts with "I Made It and ends with Hollywood".I made it is a mama-song but doesn't really get to you. Anything is a club track that most likely will blow up the charts when it drops and is the single that's gonna keep the album selling next year to. But as a song it's really weak with boring clublyrics and a re-used beat. Hollywood has a good beat, but it doesn't fell well put together. But the albums has it's lyrics as it's strong point. it starts with Jay saying "you lyrics didn't, your gangsta looks did it". In between he has Lost One which is a lyrical orgy in incredible rhymeschemes and thoughful rhymes and it ends with Beach Chair.

I completly agree

Def Jam sold alot in the 80/90s because hiphop was fresh. Everybody wanted to know about, it was new and cool. Damn.. everybody went plat those days. You can compare our time know with rock in the late 90:s. Ain't nobody buying it unless it's someone huge dropping. Cause people are sick of it. You have to really stand out or be one of the big ones to sell alot of records.

"I never died in the car I bought So I'm under the belief it's partly my fault Close my eyes and squeeze, try to block that thought Place any burden on me, but please, not that lord Time don't go back, it go forward Can't run from the pain, go towards it Some things can't be explained, what caused it? Such a beautiful soul, so pure, **** Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it Til that time, little man I'm nauseous Your girlfriend's pregnant, the lord's gift Almost lost my faith, that restored it It's like having your life restarted Can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it So now I'm child-like, waiting for a gift To return, when I lost you, I lost it" "Nigga's beats is bangin, nigga your hooks did it Your lyrics did and your gangster look did it So I would write it if y'all could get it Bein intricate'll get you wood, critic On the internet, they like you should spit it I'm like you should buy it, nigga that's good business Hehe, forget this rap **** I need a new hustle A little bit of everything, the new improved Russell I say that reluctantly cause I do struggle As you see I can't leave so I do love you But I'm just a hustler disguised as a rapper In fact you can't fit this hustle inside of a wrapper" "I'm from the era where niggaz don't snitch You from the era where snitchin' is the **** I'm afraid of the future (why?) Y'all respect the one who got shot, I respect the shooter" "I got deamons in my past So i got daughters on the way If the prophecy's correct Then the child should have to pay For the since of a father So i barter my tommorows Against my yesterdays In hopes that she'll be OK And when im no longere here The shade of face from the flare I'll give her my share of Carol's Daughter and a shiny new beach chair" Pure goddamn genius. Ted// You have no ground for you statements. Your making sh*t up and acting like it's the truth. Is it a bad thing Jay let people on the label drop ther **** as they wanted? You can't promote something that isn't promotable. If the media and the fans ain't checkin for it, than it doesn't matter how much you promote it, it'll just be a waste of money. Just like Diddys last album. Do you really, really, really think with the state of the industry right now that Method Man without a good single would go plat? Are you for real? I've already went thru this in other threads about promotion and so. Def Jam is prolly bleeding financially cause of the promotion and money spent on rappers dropping non-mainstream singles or bad songs. But they have done so cause Jay has as a policy to not interfere to much in the musicmaking (read up about it in interviews from last year). You have to have people like Jeezy that sell alot so that you can compensate for the nonselling albums. You living in a dreamworld man? I didn't say Jay is the only rapper out there. I love Jay, Kanye, Lupe, Nas, LL, FP, Luda, Dre and more. But even comparing Joes catalogue with Jays is pure ignorance and hate.

Nope you can't.

A Million & One Questions, This Can't Be Life, A Dream, The Watcher, Renegade, Heart Of The City, Song Cry, U don't know, Takeover, What more can I say, 99 Problems, Dirt off your shoulder, Moment Of clarity, Lucifer, Minority Report, Lost One and Beach Chair. All songs after Reasonable Doubt dropped.

Where do I say that? You said Fat Joe sales will increase cause of the collabo with Game. It won't because the mainstream audience ain't checkin for Game so much. Joe isn't relevant to the game anymore. Joe hasn't delivered anything near Jealous Ones Envy since that dropped. I don't give a damn about which legend likes which rapper. Fun for them.

But yeah.. I really don't care so much about who loses or so. Hiphop could need a old school rapbattle straight up on wax with two really talented dudes. But yeah, I agree. Jay would be the underdog even though Takeover is in my top 10/5 diss-song list. LL would top that list though.

I don't give a rats ass. If this is the cost for him making such a good album as his last one, than so be it. Get arrested again! and again!

D'evils, Regrets, Can't Knock the hustle, Dead Presidents, 22 Two's, A Million & One Questions, This Can't Be Life, A Dream, The Watcher, Renegade, Heart Of The City, Song Cry, U don't know, Takeover, What more can I say, 99 Problems, Dirt off your shoulder, Moment Of clarity, Lucifer, Minority Report, Lost One and Beach Chair. So.... Fat Joe still better?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPLTRzHVh8U :2thumbs: BUT, this will not be a hit. Dunno why Nas chose this single. Cool though, different approach. Let's hope he succeeds

As a Jay & LL fan I'm just sad! But the thing is that LL got alot more to lose. Jay is at this point much bigger and even ether didn't kill him, he just got bigger. He's too big to be knocked out. Ge might be defeated, but his career won't end. On the other hand, LL losing the battle would probably end his career. He ain't got the same fanbase or relevance in the Game to survive a public battle without winning it. Also, IF the battle takes place then LL better plan his release of the song. He should make a real diss song without any subliminals or guest apperances, he def shouldn't diss Jay on someonelses album. It should be like the battle between Jay and Nas. Real songs released on albums, not that halfassed mixtape/internet ****.

"Fat Joe's album sales will probably increase dramatically since the next single is "War" with Game, that's probably one of the better tracks on there..." Yes... cause doing a single with Game who's album flopped is very good. Or not. Man i rest my case. You saying Jays album is wack is a perfect example of what I brought up in the "Are we ruining hiphop"-thread. You diss it cause U ain't listened to it. Comparing it with Fat Joes piece of garbage album or Games "64 Impala & Dre" album is pure stand-up comedy man. And I even liked Games album.
