  1. No special guests, no R&B singers, just Nas. That's the way it ought to be. He wanted to release a real hip-hop song for the real hip-hop fans. Respect.
  2. Where's the Bio of KRS-One song???
  3. Can someone please hook me up with this? Thx.
  4. They can promote music all they want, but if the music is wack, then promotion ain't gonna help anymore. Those days are coming to an end.
  5. Blue Carpet's kinda half hard, half soft. Has some good songs though.
  6. Knockin At The Front Door!!! I loved that song in high school. And the Biz track is from his latest album, which is a good. A lot of classics there.
  7. Scared of a bunch of water, then get out the rain Order a rapper for lunch and spit out the chain Then kick a lungee of the tip of his timbo And trick a honey dip into a game of of strip limbo Odd... He couldn't find no remorse A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse Of course his technique was from a divine source Never new the price of ice or what swine cost One guy tried to bite the heat That's when he discovered the other other white meat Ohhhh, the one they hate so well He sure keeps it pyscho like the old bates motel They came to ask him for a least some new tracks But only got confronted by the beast with two backs Knock... Mouse is a made man Villain laid it down like the best laid plan KABOOM... DOOM is nervous large You could tell by his Blooming room service charge Dark and tall to boot The only thing was wrong was he was bald as a coot Used to rent a van from Peter Pan to red and tan And keep the human foot for his dead man's hand This was when the mask was brand spanking new Before it got rusted from drinking all the brew [sniff] Stankin' too, pew Kept all his earnings in the bank and his shoe Spat what he knew, energy for true To all fake rappers, twenty-three skidoo Excuse you, any room in the class front? For a blast of the blunt, shrooming since last month Doom a human in the mask I'm on the stunt Danger zooming past mad fast on the hunt Keep the streets, we got the city needing conquered Discreetly with the city till they be completely bonkered Dangerdoom - "Sofa King"
  8. LL & BDK on a track??? :1-eek: :wickedwisdom: I ain't gonna prejudge it. It's a step in the right direction for LL, away from R&B. I'm grateful for that.
  9. Hopefully we'll see the industry go that direction, music has it's phases and this is a weak one right now. Real MC's are marketable, they just need to find a way to do it.
  10. ...and songs or artists sometimes take time to grow on ya. That's happened to me a few times.
  11. Cube's LNCL album was really good, a lot of strong statements made in his lyrics. That's the kinda stuff the veterans need to come with. Forget what's popular and be true to yourself.
  12. I'll check out his CD to hear what other controversial things he brings up. He's on a roll right now, and he is standing up for what he believes in.
  13. Of course not. Nas is one of the few exceptions, he usually comes hard with beats and vocals. But from what I have heard, and I could be wrong in some cases, the music of those artists are pretty similar. For example, Dre's beats do not sound like beats KRS-One would use, where as Nas uses a good variety of beats, including old school beats. And what you are *not* listening to is how similar those lyrics are. And those are 4 examples of the countless other rappers who write the same kind of lyrics. That just illustrates my point.
  14. :lolsign: That makes me laugh for some reason. I see his point. He's jaded by the commercialism of it, and I feel that way also.
  15. Albums/artists are not as good as they were back in the days, straight up. In the 80's, most of the popular rappers were unique: you can easily tell the difference between a Public Enemy song and a De La Soul song, an LL song or a Kool Moe Dee song, etc. Now, with a few exceptions, it's not like that. Even when the artist sounds unique, the music/production is not. The classic rappers are using new producers to keep up with the times. I listen to the hip-hop stations here, I usually can't tell artists apart anymore, and it irritates me to hear different rappers make similar sounding music. There's a reason why rap music in the 80's and 90's is considered "classic": it was *quality*. Most rappers were more talented then, and there was a lot less negativity in the music. It was music that was full of thought and creative and fun. As I've gotten older, I keep looking for music that is really unique, like the DangerDoom CD. MF Doom has a unique flow and lyrics, and the music is definitely not something you'd hear on the radio today. So it's not just the fact that we are not "listening" to the music, but the music itself is not worth listening to.
  16. It's not Big Al, it's Fat Al. Big Al is from South Park.
  17. Yea, BC doesn't want anything to do with rappers today. Except maybe Will.
  18. This is a new double album/DVD comprised of L.A. area bloods and crips rappin (supposedly, see Afrika Bambatta) in the same style as the 90's "Bloods & Crips" albums. The producers went into the gang neighborhoods and auditioned almost 1000 gang members to get the best on the album, like an "American Idol" for gangsta rap. The experience was positive and peaceful, with gangstas putting aside their differences to rock the mic. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best "gangsta rap" albums ever, mainly because it is not typical of "gangsta rap" that is out today: there is very little singing/R&B in the songs, there are no "gangsta luv" songs, and there are no slow and boring "smoke a joint" songs. All of the 28 tracks are hard-hitting and not one of them is weak. This makes the songs on the album musically and lyrically repetitive, however, which some people will not like. And the MC's aren't as diverse as on the 90's "B&C" albums, so they sound similar to each other at times. So it's not a standout creatively, but if you like the general west-coast sound, it's a great album. http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/pro...409001019&itm=1
  19. I got "yoink" from the Simpsons.
  20. Jay bought out the forum because we talk about him so much. He can do that, ya know, cause he is the "CEO of Hip-Hop". Jigga please.
