Re: The Official Rap Thread part 2

But he rapped with an accent on almost all of Relapse Laughing

Not one song on Relapse could scratch his top 20 songs, at least with Encore it could be argued that the three you listed could.

by dmize Thu Nov 07, 2013 9:37 pm

Accents, and the overall subject matter were far worse on Encore.

Rather listen to Old Times Sake than anything on Encore. Stay Wide Awake is more lyrical than anything on Encore also.

edit: Underground, Beautiful, Deja Vu, too. Listening to it again and yeah Relapse is much better.

"I think I smell the scent of a placenta."

That's the first line I hear in my head when I think of that song.

I just can't take the whole album seriously, the rhymes were much weaker even in the emotional songs like Deja Vu and again, the accents were everywhere. I don't hate it by any means but such is the stan-ness in me that his worst album, in my opinion, is still likable.

Wicked Ways on MMLP2 :bow:

Banks's mixtape is great so far will give the rest a listen later.

I recommend Blue Chips 2. Action Bronson's new mixtape. This shit is amazing.

MMLP2 is great I loved many songs from it. Some songs sound old in a good way, bringing the good ol'Em

Well it's exactly because of the accents that I like tracks like Ass Like That and Just Lose It.
They are fun and cool. I know Encore might not be as deep and true as his other projects are, but I just like that type of playfulness in Encore. Plus it's not all that playful, there are some serious tracks like Mockingbird, We As Americans and Like Toy Soldiers on there.

As for my ranking:
MMLP
The Eminem Show
Encore
SSLP
MMLP2
Recovery
Relapse
Don't think that I've listened to one track on Infinite before.

One thing I've noticed is that rappers have done very good on their first tracks on their albums this year. All of the top rappers with the release of their anticipated albums have put out a dope first track.

Jay-Z - Holy Grail - very solid song.
J. Cole - Villuminati - best track on Born Sinner.
Drake - Tuscan Leather - best track on NWTS.
Pusha T - King Push - it just pushes! LoL, yeah very solid track.
Eminem - Bad Guy - dope track. Genius. Very well thought out.

As for Kanye though, I can only say otherwise... On Sight was Laughing

Obviously this all opinion, but I mean the guy was rapping about farts in half the songs on Encore ffs. The continued and overdone hate on Christopher Reeve even though he had already died. Dude was clearly at the height of his drug use and it showed.

If you haven't heard Infinite I would recommend getting it. It wasn't a studio album so the production while good, is different than his later stuff but lyrically he was at his best. He was still trying to find his own style, which you can tell.

by MJ Fri Nov 08, 2013 11:10 pm

Infinite is Eminem before he was Slim Shady, very creative and reminiscent of Nas in a way. Before he realized if he slapped enough people in the mouth with shocking lines he'd get national attention.

Anyone listen to Troy Ave?

Dope dude, with some of the sickest hooks around, very similar to 50 in that aspect.. His album is available for free (he put it on livemixtapes.com) or for $10 if you want to purchase it..

Here's another dope intro to add to that list:

Not his track but he murdered the hook, Jada bodied the track, don't listen to Vado really but he did his thing too:

DOM

thanks for sharing. I can't believe I haven't heard this guy before.

I just came across this track and he has walked away from rapping. So much potential...

by Guest Sun Nov 10, 2013 8:27 pm

Follow bob42jh on youtube...he is going to retire from posting, but he has a ton of great tracks uploaded. You can also add him on Facebook...people tend to share tracks on his wall.

Been following him forever, I don't always keep up with his tracks/videos because there's so much. But everytime I randomly listen to a track on his channel, it's jammin
