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.

Where's the Bio of KRS-One song???
-
Can someone please hook me up with this? Thx.
-
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.

Blue Carpet's kinda half hard, half soft. Has some good songs though.

Please repost. Thx.

Please repost the link. Thx.

It sounds like he wants to rip the mic again. Go LL!

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.

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"

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.
-
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.

...and songs or artists sometimes take time to grow on ya. That's happened to me a few times.

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.
-
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.
-
OK, I'll take your word for it.

Of course not.
Even when the artist sounds unique, the music/production is 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.
-
AllHipHop.com: That being said, how do you bring it back?
Nas: You don’t. F**k Hip-Hop.
: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.

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.

Bill Cosby didn't "Create" The name BIG AL...HE had Fat Albert, Yea, but he doesn't own the name "BIG AL" Because of that....I mean, that's like the guys who made Good Times suing Jay Z because his name sounds too much like JJ's....lol
It's not Big Al, it's Fat Al. Big Al is from South Park.

Yea, BC doesn't want anything to do with rappers today. Except maybe Will.

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.

I don't see what isn't mainstream about that. It's got money flashin, the rapper drivin an expensive car, and by the looks of the shoes and the walk of the girl, probably has some rent-a-hoes in it. With the song having an R&B hook, that's a pretty standard song/video for mainstream hip-hop.
How would him driving a one-of-a-kind car be controversial??? I would expect nothing less from him, it's predictable really. What *would* cause controversy is if he was drivin a bucket. :lol:
