I'm sure there's alot I'm missing
5th Letter- Who's your favorite member and besides OB4CL what's your favorite group and solo album by them?
Built 4 cuban linx- other than 36 chambers and cuban linx. my favorite solo is either supreme clientele, fishscale or liquid swords. cant choose. My favorite group is Wu tang forever. That my favorite double album actually. we had a short back and forth awhile back when I said nothing could compare and you brought up All eyez on me and life after death and I just laughed it off lol I was just joking on that I love those 2 also but Wu tang forever is my favorite double album
recently inspectah deck has actually been the one that drops the best projects lately with those 3 Czarfaces albums. The 3rd one just came a few weeks ago. I didnt bother making the thread cause it wouldnt get the attention on here like my thread for the 2nd album didnt but if you like the Wu or lyrics in general. check those out. also shoutout to the classic blackout album with the great redman. that was so dope and blackout 2 is a sleeper as well. bought that the first day it dropped
5th Letter- What are your thoughts on today's hip hop?
Built 4 cuban linx- well Thank God for the internet. cause I can keep up with my "nerd rap" lol..theres alot of great albums that dropped this and the past couple years. that new tribe called quest joint(FUCKIN DOPE), dave east, krit,lupe, reks double album which is so amazing, joell, crooked I last 2 especially the one with statik selektah, mick jenkins is soooo talented. royce layers and rhyme with the Gawd premo and adrian young, run the jewels(thrid album coming soon btw), oddisee, skyzoo, pusha T, well you get the point im not going to name everything. Its alot of dope shit coming constantly.
My problem lies where, why cant some of these dudes be brought up and given that glory also? mick jenkins and krit for example are good enough for hot97 interviews TWICE but not to get they shit played? Hip hop has started with party music, so theres always room for that. hell me and my brother was bumping futures "wicked" yesterday on the way to wendys. futures tapes, chief keef, yes "I dont like" is my shit, rick ross, etc all get play from me so im not one of those "real hip hop" dudes. its all hip hop to me but hip hop has always had many sounds as it does now. so why cant we show our many sounds of our genre? why was the other elements taken out?
Nicki isnt the only female rapper. while she gets her plays as she should so shouldve jean grae and rapsody. that female category was so pathetic they were still nominating foxy brown at BET awards even when she was deaf and not making music no more. mainstream wise it just looks to damn one dimensional. call me a conspiracy theorist with a aluminum cap but I do think these majors are mainly promoting the ignorant side of our genre for some reason. hopefully adding cole and kendrick to the mainstream will help show the old white record label owner that they can still make they little culture vulture bucks off our "lyrical conscious" art also and put more of them out there too.
I am a hip hop nerd, I love this genre fully, it maybe silly but I care about the way its perceived. the radio is dying off but at the same time, what they playing is still having an impact. its still putting the hype behind artist. me being a underground guy, Ive heard kendrick years before he got famous tried to put people on. niggas said he was trash so was overly dedicated and section 80 but swimming pools and GKMC come out he all over the radio now hes the greatest muthafucka to ever spit and shit. now those mixtapes that were trash turned classic overnight. Idk how but anyway thats just my view on it mainstream wise but like I said, thank God for the internet where I can keep up with my favorite indies cause if I only had to depend on the artist they give us, I would be fucking tired of hearing the same 5 fucking artist all the damn time
