Re: The Official Rap Thread part 1

I didn't like Watch The Throne tbh

What didn't you like about it?

It's just...Ye trying to sing ... Jay with his usual cocky lines, the beats get annoying, they change randomly ... I didn't like it. I'm sure someone might appreciate it's...originality? But I for one didn't .

Ain't Nothing like the Old School So true in todays rap game
Nas is garbage now and wtf was he on a 2pac song....

Dear Mr President

[Chad]

I Love this song i think it's takeing over my fav song on the album

[Ali]

nas is garbage?

[Chad]

Garbage was too strong a word he just ain't as good as he use to be since still Stillmatic and Nastradamus dosen't count cause that album was Garbage

[Ali]

he's been excellent, distant relatives <3

[adnyana179]

Personally, I thought "Untitled" was an excellent album. He experimented with "Distant Relatives", but I think it was a success.

I think "Hip Hop Is Dead" was his weakest album post-2001. If you want to make it count, you could say that "The Lost Tapes" was another excellent release.

Anyway, have you heard his latest material? It wouldn't surprise me if his next album is up there with "Stillmatic", if not better.

[Chad]

I've never heard of Distant Relatives i will check that out
Untitled was avg too me.

[Ali]

I know HHID got mixed reviews and people either HATE it or LOVE it, I'm the love xD

So how do you rate albums like "God's Son" and "Street's Disciple"?

I think the latter would have been better had it been limited to one CD, but I think it was still a solid effort.

I think it had some great tracks and was still a nice album, but compared to others in the decade I put it the lowest.







^^ This had to be one of the most anticipated tracks in history lol. I really don't think they could have lived up to the hype, no matter how good it was.

ali, what have you heard from Pusha T on "Fear of God 2"?

[Ali]

I'v heard everything, Pusha T is the MAN ! One of my favourite rappers no doubt, feel like I'm blessed to even use the same studio he used!

I still wanna move kilos !

I think Pusha is the better of the two brothers, though they have different styles. I see more of myself in Malice as a personality, but I feel Pusha has that extra wit and cleverness about him.

It's about time he gets his run as a solo artist, especially after all the label drama he's been through over the years.

I have to agree, let's see if Pusha will bring back Def Jam xD

It seems universal that Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas make up the top 4. The 5th is always up for contention (Jadakiss, Game, 50 etc. have all claimed it).

Big L is certainly up there though. His wordplay and punchline abilities were perhaps unmatched.

[Guest]

Jada is the only one that list that should be claiming such things, just my opinion. I think 50 could have been one of my favorites, unfortunately he had bigger plans and his music suffered (Not as much money in making music).
