[bankrupt baller]

Daylight, epic choice!! :tu Props on your choices.

Props, stay on topic though… if you want to just discuss one Budden song make a thread in The Reason, he's signed to a Major.

lol.....not as a solo artist and not when he made the song i posted.....joe budden>>>>>>>>

Fair comment on his label situation at the time...

But you overlooked the thread premise. There isn't a good place to 'drop a song', if it goes against what the thread is about. You could have dropped it in the What You Bumpin' Right Now thread though :tu

This thread is for a list of 10 songs, not an I want to scream to the high heavens about how Joey is the greatest (even if he was).

Please stay on topic if you contribute in the future.

Nice list, really nice list; good to see Fashawn making the cut!!!

 

[MastaAceTheGOAT]

Nice list, Lynguistics is on The Essence Playlist of the Month as well as the one you contributed by Glue lol.

Good to see the ALHS tracks as well as Dilla's… High Power is your favourite Lamar track?

Great description Lou haha

Yeah it is, it's just perfect from his change in flow, the beat and the concepts. Although, I will say I haven't heard enough of his material beyond Section.80 to make a legitimate judgement. What's yours?

It's a nice track definitely. I do love it but I think Keisha's song and others are better from Section 80. Even Tammy's song... But every song could be a favourite from Section 80, amazing release.

I'd probably have to go with Let Me Be Me... From his self titled EP. It was the song that made me love Kendrick Lamar.. And start my own promotion movement for him lol. Great artist though... He deserves all the props he's getting and you should go back and check his catalog or check out the stickied artist of the month!!

Man, that's an interesting drop, in fact, most of your list is with Common Market and Five Deez making the cut :tu Good to see Celph Titled as well...

But seriously? Is Luv Sic Pt. 3 your favourite track from Nujabes? It's a great song and I'm a fan of Shing, no doubt. I just don't know if it would be in my top 5 Nujabes…

Lil Wayne/Lil Zane duet lol. I heard this on Disposable Arts but I don't know the whole story with him and Boogieman? I have seen this battle though:

[video=youtube;WdL1SobYkwQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdL1SobYkwQ[/video]

I don't know if it's the video edit, but Ace comes across as though he's lost… few lines spit, where as Boogieman who seems to have revised his lines, actually brings something… I liked the titanic line from Ace, but otherwise, not the best battle I've ever seen…

I'll admit my list is kind of rushed.. but Shing02 wasn't part of the rushed part.. for me that song is the definition of hip-hop, and it's dope how he writes the verses with the same writing pattern, but changes the words to reflect the message behind each verse.. as I'm typing this tho, I just realized I left out If I Had A Day To Live by Funky DL and Nujabes.. :| it can be so hard to narrow it down to just 10 songs haha

Imagine having 10 tracks to listen to for the rest of your life then forgetting one that you truly want to have in your life haha shit man, could beat yourself up for years…

Anyways, I agree wholeheartedly that Shing provides some great lyrics on nigh on every track that he blesses, none more evident than Love Sic Part 3. but as a whole, for production, I can think of other tracks that really outshine that one for me anyways… like Beat Laments the World, which to me is one of the greatest pieces of music I've heard or Feather with Cise Starr and Akin…. I'm still pondering my songs… I'm not as good as everyone else choosing so quickly ha.

 

[ty the great]

Enemies with Benefits is your favourite CunninLynguists track?! It wouldn't make my top 10, but it's definitely one of the best from Oneirology!

Its a recent pick, but I think the song is just absolutely perfect in every way. Hard choice tho.

Yeah, it's an easy pick in ways from Oneirology, even if I do prefer Stars Shine Brightest, it seemed to be the general feeling when it dropped that EWB was the standout track… I just loved Deacon on SSB.

It's funny how much Tonedeff has influenced some of CL's biggest hits, but he was the founder of the label, I guess.

He needs to stop his selflessness though and get Chico & The Man out with KNO.
