Nas has pretty much converted to an underground MC...not a bad move considering flagging mainstream interest, now at least the people paying attention to him are more likely to be real fans. I think Nas knows this, why else would he abandon the pop material and rail against Def Jam for trying to...
Of course he'll go through drastic changes...I think there will be a difference, but not because of prison per se, more because he has to stay away from all those fuckin drugs he was taking. If he doesn't it won't matter cuz his ass is goin back in.
I'm more thinking whether or not Prodigy will...
That beat was pathetic.
I'm gonna go with:
Both Ice Cube & Andre 3K on that Jay-Z "30 Something" remix...I know they both gel with the song's concept but aside from how horrible a song it was to begin with, it became probably the most awkward collaboration in all three of those MCs' catalogs...
Deck's album was boring as fuck. He sounds good over decent producers' music and he has the connects to them too, but he's too broke to pay for their beats. So he has to stick with subpar self-production bullshit.
And Wu-Massacre indeed feels like a mixtape. It doesn't really have any...
The Manifesto was supposed to be The Resident Patient 2 but the RP2 mixtape leaked so he switched it up. And I think ppl just wanted to cash in on Rae's success even though their first albums weren't OB4CL classics, of course they seem to think they are.
Ye still works with John Legend. I can't say I'm thrilled that he's working with Drake but the Pusha T joint(s) should be good. I'm really hoping J. Cole will be on the album and maybe.....Jay Electronica? I could definitely see it.
Also RZA is working on Game's album. Should be interesting...
I still wanna hear that Kurupt, Pete Rock and DJ Premier album but I doubt it's gonna come out now (goddammit). I will still take a Dogg Pound/Pete Rock album but once again I don't see it happening.
Raekwon & Pete Rock (classic Wu shit)
Ghostface Killah & Just Blaze (!!!!)
Redman & Easy Mo...
Yupp.
He always sounds like he's trying way too hard to sound extraordinary or really super duper goddamn smart. He also has a habit of whining and bitching and moaning. A guy can have talent but if he's really arrogant about it and sulks whenever he feels like ppl don't regard him as the GIMFH...
Unfortunately the leak of Food & Liquor kinda fucked over the album. I haven't heard the retail version in a while cause all I listen to is the best retail and advance tracks the way it seems like they would've fit best. Honestly if you listen to Food & Liquor with the advance mixed in the shit...
Imma ask how many people who are opposing the 'gay gene' idea actually have friends or know people who are gay (not like "I see them in the hallway sometimes" but more like an actual friend, male or female, who is openly gay).
Scientists recently have been doing genetic tests on mothers with at...
Hell yeah, back when CD came out and everything he touched was doing good, Ye was still heavily fucking with Common, Kweli, and Mos, among others...I remember telling my people that the trend of consciousness and soulful shit was coming up. Kweli had "Get By" his first and last truly major hit...
When I was younger I had less conception of who was really better than who. I liked a lot of artist who were typically "technical" lyricists but whose styles have gotten old and stale (like Black Thought said "for spittin played-out patterns that once was hittin'")...now lyrical artists have to...
