Let me point out a couple of things really quick...just break it down easy.
1. Jay-Z was a household name before "Big Pimpin", do you remember how big "Hard Knock Life" "Can I Get A.." & "Money Ain't A Thing" were? Those were some HUGE songs that were on the album before "Big Pimpin". Jay-Z...
How many artist's maintain a successful solo career and run a successful label?
I can't think of any. I wouldn't count Shady/G-Unit Records because it wasn't Eminem & 50 Cent that really did the label work, it was Interscope/Aftermath
When you sign into the forums do you search "50"? Because I swear whenever his name is mentioned, you're there...saying stupid shit about him
I don't think I've ever seen you say some shit that wasn't somehow related to 50
So thats you right? I mean who the fuck is J Leake and Skinny Del Negro is funny as shit, but I know you 2 posts, signed up now and your 2 posts mention this tape just means u came to promote your shit
I'm dying for his Free Agent album? WTF Happened to that? All Ortiz's shit is hot, I have a few mixtapes and Brick was real nice...but you can't tell its independent. I really wish we got to hear him solo on Aftermath with Dr.Dre
He's the best in Slaughterhouse in my opinion
Here's my...
No...that's why I said "doesn't matter what". I didn't explain what I meant clearly. But I meant a rapper that was somebody at some point...he's the oldest one I can think of.
E-40, Too $hort, KRS-One, Rakim, Jay-Z, Raekwon, Devin The Dude, Dr.Dre & Ice Cube are all rappers who have albums that have come out in the past year, or have CDs coming out this year (Cube & Dre) that I listened too, (I enjoyed all of them except Blueprint 3) or anticipate listening to (Cube &...
This is bullshit mentality. I don't get why the fuck hiphop/rap fans gotta think like this.
It's the only genre that does this. You all fall for fucking gimmicks and the same bullshit ass topics.
I hope when I'm middle aged, there will actually be hiphop/rap music I can enjoy and I can...
I'd say if you're still dropping albums within the past year, or coming later this year... that people know about....then you're actively in the game
Too $hort (44) - Still Blowin' (Wikipedia claims that Too $hort has dropped 18 albums, that average at 600,000 sales each - !!!!)
E-40 (42) -...
Dr. Dre is one of the best all time in my mind.
But I hope "oh that was leaked and isn't finished" is the new excuse on why a song isn't good.
I can see Detox hitting the stores and then Dre recalling the Detox claiming he wasn't finished.
