Where in Texas?...I live there now! Have fun!

Daft Punk feat Pharell - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (neptunes remix)

One of the reasons I really like this album is because theres a distinct and cohesive sound ....synthesized yet soulful. Kanye did not pull a repeat formula where he uses select soul samples, similar to those on his other two albums...

Excellent review TopDawg :werd: My opinions exactly. I thought I was crazy for liking Drunk and Hot Girls for a second... "Ta Dow Dow Dow, that's how the **** you sound!"...hillarious

Wow...that's terrible! My heart goes ot to all those who were affected by this!

I thought drunk and hot girls was hilarious! We all know people who follow that lifestyle, and the kind of problems they get into...and the beat is really spooky. I thought it was very inventive...And Mos Def's presence should have been expanded upon through a rap verse but i thought his little break was very fitting. I think it's one of the songs where there are some people who will love and others will hate. And how is "i wonder" a 2.8?

I knew no matter what 50 would be incapable of a humble defeat...

I hope this inspires Com to go back to his Like water For Chocolate days....His present stuff is good but it's a more simplified version of the common sense i love...

I was right! Kanyes killing 50 on the billboard charts so far...

I need kanyes Barry Bonds without Wayne's painful appearance...

Gangstarr - You Know my Steez

Yeah it was a complete mess...I still watched it with a little amusement tho'.

And even after that people in other message boards will stick up for him... :rofl:

I copied this from another board.This is hilarious, especially if you've heard all this hype about the cat and then listen to his music and wonder to yourself...Why? How to Write a L'il Wayne Verse in 10 Easy Steps 1. Pick a Verb. Preferably a verb about running away from the law or from an assailant. I.E. Duck, Run, Dodge or maybe Stop, Drop or Roll. L'il Wayne LOVES stopping, dropping and rolling. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 2. Connnect the verb to some sort of simile. This is crucial. Every single L'il Wayne line must contain some sort of relatively obvious simile. So maybe you can "duck like Scrooge." "Run like a bloody nose." Or even "Dodge like Kansas." You can do metaphors but try to steer away from doing this too often, lest people think that you are a different ghost-writer. That is bad. Also for bonus points talk about how "sweet" you are. L'il Wayne loves talking about being sweet like a Tahitian Treat or some other delicacy high in sucrose. 3. Mention "Slanging Keys." This is crucial to establish street cred. Don't pay attention to the fact that L'il Wayne's been famous since 12 and the only thing he knows about slangin' is that he speaks with it. After all, if you don't talk drugs how else can you impress the translucent Dairy Queen-white music critics. This way they can also compare you to the Wire. (Just remember to connect all that "slanging keys" talk with a simile). 4. Declare that you are Weezy F. Baby. This will tell listeners who you are. Sure, they probably already know, but adding The "F" in the middle of the name uncertainly adds to Wayne's level of class. It makes him seem like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Exactly like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Whatever you do, don't attempt to ascertain what the "F" stands for. That my friends is a slippery slope. And whatever you do, don't think about what the "F" stands for while looking at a picture of Wayne and Baby making out. 5. Talk about hustling. Music critics love hustling. Presumably, they are devotees to the energetic style of basketball popularized by players like Ben Wallace, Kurt Rambis and Mark Madsen. This will make them feel at home. If there's anything music writers know about, it's hustling. 6. Talk about Baby. Call him your Daddy. Forget the fact that he's not actually your Daddy. Forget the fact that the majority of people that call other men "daddy" are prostitutes. It's unimportant. Mention something that Baby told you. Maybe that he told you that "these is ." Or that he told you to "Turn around and stick out." (Maybe, he was just quoting Sir-Mix-A-Lot.) Ignore the fact that you call a man named "Baby," "Daddy." Let's just chalk that up to being a New Orleans thing. 7. Make some sort of obvious pop culture technology reference. Talk about IPods. Or Myspace. Or gigabytes. Something remotely technological. It will show that Wayne is not completely retarded (just partially) and might have actually read a newspaper once or twice. Which clearly means he is a genius. 8. Talk about how poorly you treat women. Perhaps you can claim how you'll "never love a ." Or how you'll "never give a ho a damn thing." The more misogynistic the better. This will definitely do much to steer people away from those nasty "gay" rumors. 9. Apropos to nothing, make some sort of remark about Hurricane Katrina. No need to bother making it have anything to do with the rest of the verse. After all, never underestimate white liberal guilt. Any sort of name-dropping will make white liberals feel bad and they will forget the fact that Wayne is a multi-millionaire and anoint him the voice of the people. Also, be sure to make wild ridiculous conspiracy theories like claiming that you heard George Bush blew up the levees. The more absurd the better. Go for it. 10. Proclaim yourself the "Greatest Rapper Alive."Forget the Fact that Wayne would be lucky to be included in a list of the Top 20 rappers working right now. Most music critics haven't listened to Hip Hop Made Before 1999 anyway (other than Public Enemy). If you proclaim yourself the greatest, you will be the greatest. Or at least people will be foolish enough to buy this canard. Now you're On Your Way To Being Cash Money's Newest Ghost-Writer. Fame, Fortune (and anonymity) Await You. Feel free to produce your own little Wayne verse in the comments. Or just send it directly to Cash Money. The Ghostwriting Hotlines are open now! example : I'm jumpin fences like Seabiscuit, sh!t The work's heavy, my napsack is petty Its weezy f. baby young Carter in the greasy Chevy I used to rob cars, now i cop cars Kinda like tha PO-LICE but i smoke weed And my daddy's wit me Baby is almost fifty but they call this nigga baby cuz his head be shavie'd Since I works in the kitchen I got the plasma vision and about seventy women cookin coke in the kitchen I slap them bitches vicious like Katrina winds and hit hard like the nuclear missiles that blew up New Orleans kid Bush wants Iraqi oil but not for cookin' fish I'm the greatest to ever do it Fk that classic tip

Who else is pretty sure that Kanye's got this? Polls are saying it, fans are saying it...and I'm buying me a copy this week. I'm listening to it everyday on the bus ride to school and there is def some quality in there...and it makes perfect sense since I'm graduating this year (hopefully).

It's ok...not up to par some of the albums from the okayplayer family (Kanye,Common,Pharhoe,Kweli,Jazzy Jeff ) released this year. But it's not bad, not buying it but enjoying the four or five stand out tracks nontheless.

Watchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

Chamillionare - Bill Collecta Half way through his new album...not bad. It's very catchy...lyrically simple but not nursery rhyme either. i can get used to this.

:yeahthat: and :welcome4: ...we need you to do this! Even if it means that you have to make threads like "Will Smith is sooo cool!","50 cent sucks" or "why haven't we had new music from Will"etc.

Run DMC and Aerosmith - Walk This Way

Awesome...love the FPOBA style spinning throne...

Black Thought is only one who even comes anywhere near the prince...and I doubt it's a very comprehensive list anyway...

Yeah it's an awesome video and song!

Kanye?! Ain't hating...but in the words of Eddie Murphy he "isn't the most masculine fellow". Can't believe I just replied to this topic...I must be bored.

I expected graduation to be a forgettable piece of crap...but when I heard it I was in a really bad mood, and Graduation restored a lot of optimism into me. Dudes rap skills will be average at best...but he made some really inspirational stuff in every one of his albums, and every once in while surprises me with some dope lyricism every now and then. And the production is impeccable...I'm getting my a copy for my bathroom stereo.
