GO buy a fucking Tiger Beat if you want to be a fanboy.

Too bad threads don’t come with a gaydar alert. This one would be off the chart.

I wont hate but… Come on… Lil wayne? LOL after ghillie da kid stopped ghost writing for him the drop off in his bar’s was horrible.

or listen to “Reciept” and then listen to “Song cry” by jay z you can see how much he bites off of jigga.

…And how much Jay-Z bites off of Biggie. All new commercial hip-hop sucks balls. ALL OF IT. There isn’t one original motherfucker making commercial rap today[with the exception of Nas, but he’s been doing it for years].

There are some phenominal “underground” acts that should be dominating the charts, but music reflects society [and/or vice versa], and society is full of unoriginal idiots who’d rather be told what’s cool than find it on their own.

There are some. Pray tell, who is Lupe copying? Kanye? Will.I.Am?

There are some original acts out there, but they get watered down like nobody’s business.

Lupe’s copying Tribe as far as I can tell. I will say I like the song Superstar [I think that’s what it’s called] but his whole sound reminds me of Tribe, specifically Q-tip. Kanye West copies everyone, and I’m pretty sure he knows his shit sucks.

Simple psychology:if you run around telling everyone how great you are, deep down you know you ain’t about shit and are masking your insecurities. Will.i.am sucks balls.Shitty lyrics with decent beats [like Kanye West]. I’ve heard cats fuck with more harmony. Once again, no original commercial acts.

Also, when I said Jay-Z copies Biggie, I forgot to mention he copies Big L alot also.

So 50, Game, Kanye, Lupe, Snoop, etc. are sub par just cuz they aren’t Pac or Big?

That’s what I thought, shut up.
(not you specifically, but all Lil’ Wayne haters)

50 is sub par.
Kanye’s production is waht sets him apart, not his rapping ability.
Lupe, I don’t know, we’ll see.
Snoop hasn’t put out anything that has come close to matching Doggystyle.

I’ll give you Jay-Z, but he has a lot of misses. He surrounds his one or two hits with a lot of filler on his albums. And his last two albums were big drop offs in quality.

Look, I have two main problems with current rap. First, it’s become more about production than lyricism. It’s all about a beat and a catchy hook.

For example, take Rich Boy’s Throw Some D’s. It’s got a great beat and good production, but Rich Boy doesn’t bring anything to the table with his raps. That’s why Kanye can release a remake that sounds just as good. Hell, Eli Porter could rap over that beat and it would be a hit.

Next, and this is my biggest problem, is that no one makes a fully listen-able album any more. I realize that this is not just the artist’s fault. In the age of iTunes, MySpace, and commercial jingles, it’s all about that one hit.

The artist needs to make that one hit single to be successful. I can’t even remember that last album released that I could listen to start to finish. Where’s the next Illmatic? Midnight Marauders? Reasonable Doubt? Where’s the next Chronic? (Yes, I am eagerly awaiting Detox, if it ever comes.)

So there. I don’t HATE Lil Wayne, I just don’t think he’s the second coming of a rapping Jesus Christ.[/quote]

american gangster, jay-z’s last album was one of his best…yes kingdom come was pretty subpar a few decent tracks, however american gangster was possibly one of the best albums released

Meh…Difference in taste, I guess. The only two Jay-Z albums I really like are Reasonable Doubt and The Black Album(which I can listen to front to back). Like I said earlier, I think the rest have too much filler. He even realized this himself when he re-released The Blueprint 2 with half the tracks.

I agree with these albums. I’m sure if I looked, I could find a few more recently released albums that I really like.

Isn’t it cute when the little puppies think they are being tough? You need to stick with your momma, kiddo. You are not big enough in the britches to be making tough guy talk.

RJ, I’m really not trying to pick a fight. But, why you gotta come in here and piss on everything you don’t get? I mean, looking back to when you were 19, I’m sure people a generation or two older thought you were a twit too. You don’t see me causing a stir in threads that I find retarded/unnecessary/uncool/etc.

To each his own, geez.

canibyus? eyedea? strange francis? goodness gracious your backpack on tight enough?
