  12. HIP-HOP = DISCO

    in Caught in the Middle

    He could just stop beeing a cry baby and release his album.

    I don't think hes just complaining, I think he is making a valid point.

    But really, I don't see hip hop going anywhere soon. I mean, its alive and well in the underground. There are many great artists out there that hold things down like Common, JJ, J Live, Mos, Kweli, Hi Tek, Roots, Pete Rock, KRS, Little Brother, Nas, Rakim, etc.

    Heck, I just watched a interview on youtube of Pete Rock saying things are starting to revert back to the golden age. I don't exactly think things are that good, but things are starting to get better IMO.

  13. Lil wayne- Lollipop video..

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted

    "Lollipop" is what i see as the start of the burn out phase. The song is so wack. Thankfully, u can't even hear his voice on the track due 2 bad delivery and mixing. I had the radio playing while i waz in the shower the other day and thought an instrumental was playing. I went 2 change the station and when i got really close 2 the radio, i found out Lil' Wayne's annoying voice was indeed on the track.

    Snoop's track is much more of a hit than this crap. The production on Snoop's joint is at least musical. Like most of Wayne's trash, the processed beat is nothing but a rushed commerical instrumental. Snoop rips a good verse and has an interesting song overall. Kill the comparisons. It's like compairing Curtis to The Return of The Magnificent.

    hahaha word up. Sensual Seduction is actually a pretty good song for a couple of reasons:

    *Its unique - what other gangsters out there would sing using a talk box and rap a verse in the same track??

    *The production - Its atleast good for a mainstream song. The keys/synths are pretty smooth and has a 70s feel to it.

    *The video - retro and a throwback. Switching things up for once

    Everything Lil Wayne does is pretty unoriginal, and sucks IMO. I just try to ignore the mainstream now and just listen to what I think is dope.

    Also Visco:

    That anonimous forum you visited that had knowledge of hip hop but still 89% of peeps on there still liked Lil Wayne:

    Was it allhiphop.com forum?

  21. NY's Finest - Pete Rock Discussion

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted · Edited by bart5

    I finally picked the album last Saturday but have been pretty busy, so I'm finally gonna give a review on this album.

    1. Pete's Intro -

    Funny countdown intro to welcome everyone to the show.

    2. We Roll ft. Jim Jones & Max B - 7.5/10

    Pretty good track to kick off the album, but nothing great. The beat is pretty funky with the classic PR horns. But for

    Jim Jones kind of annoys me haha.

    3. Till I Retire - 8/10

    One of the main singles off the album, cleverly playing off a Run DMC vocal. This track is nice, using an old school

    type of beat. Pete's flow holds up, check the video on youtube.

    4. 914 ft Styles P & Sheek Louch - 6.5/10

    This track is honestly a little weak, from the beat to the rapping. Pete uses a commonly used break and horns,

    making this a forgetable track.

    5. Questions ft Ryoal Flush - 7/10

    Pete Rock goes for his classic grimey track with this, and I think it turned out alright. Except for Flush repeatedly

    cursing, this track holds up.

    6. Best Believe ft. Redman & LD 8/10

    One of my personal faves from this album. The intro to it is hilarious, the beat is dope and the emceeing are from

    hip hop vets. Besides the chorus, this track is tight.

    7. Ready Fe War ft. Chip Fu & Renee Neufville 7/10

    This track is a little different than something you would expect from PR. It has a long intro, the actually track is

    heavily reggae influenced. Probably was meant to diversify the project. Cool to see Chip Fu back though.

    8. Best Believe - 7.5/10

    I have a name for tracks like this, I call them a "NBA Live song", cause I could hear on a video game soundtrack. Pete spits it

    pretty good on it, but the beat isn't that good.

    9. Bring Yall Back ft Little Brother ft. 8/10

    Another grimey, hard hitting track. Surprised to hear Little Brother over it. Dope track.

    10. The Best Secrete ft. Lords of the Underground 8.5/10

    Very dope track it, nice beat, great concept. Haven't heard from the Lords for a long time, but they stepped up on this.

    11. Thats What I'm Talking About 8.5/10

    Now thats what I'm talking about!! The best solo track from pete off this album. Pete bringin good music.

    12. The PJ's ft. Raekwon & Masta Killa 8.5/10

    Laid back street song, with some dope emcees. Nuff said.

    13. Made Man 8/10

    Another pete solo, serving up a funky good beat.

    14. Lets Go ft. Doo Wop 6.5/10

    Using a vocal clip recognizably ala Dilla, this is reggae hip hop track. Doesn't quite deliver. Might grow on me.

    15. Comprehend ft. Papoose 9/10

    Goes out with a banger. My personal fav. from the album, very smooth dope track. Lovin it.

    Overall I'd give the album a 7.5/10 or an 8/10. Definitely worth picking up and supporting the living legend Chocolate Boy Wunda, even though it isn't his best release.

  23. Rakim Preps New Live LP

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted

    Rakim is biting Will's album title! :wickedwisdom:

    Well, then Will already bit one of Pete Rock's album title (Lost and Found - Hip Hop Underground Classics) :shifty:

    Can't to hear this, all the new RA tracks that have been leaking have been amazing. Yeah, I am a wondering what happened to the Seventh Seal though too.
