I have all the respect for AZ, but he needs to quit the games on a future with Nas.

THC, how disappointed are you?

by Guest Thu Dec 29, 2011 2:53 am

I actually hadn't even heard about this, from time to time I forget to keep up with JBTV and Budden. I tend to prefer when Joe does his own thing on a track, but some of those names he threw out had my interested.

To be honest, Lamar and The Roots are the best currently in rap. The former lacks enthusiasm, but overall, Section.80 was fantastic. The latter seem to get better and better, every time I think they're going to degrade in quality - they come up with something special.

Haha, yeah, but The Roots should be on everyone's top 5 list of best rap albums this year.

This is the best 50 song I discovered so far :bow:

by Guest Thu Dec 29, 2011 4:20 pm

Get Rich or Die Tryin' :coffee:

by Le Samourai Thu Dec 29, 2011 4:24 pm

Also this is probably the best song I've come across outside Emeinem and Kanye

Guys, what's your consensus regarding 50 cent? Not the present mediocre one, but the past one.

GRoDT = classic
Power of the Dollar = great album
everything else is incredibly average

Power Of The Dollar = great
GRODT = classic
Massacre = classic
Curtis = bad
BISD = good

but all his mixtapes are classics and if anyone can doubt that then they have no idea what they're talking about. He changed the mixtape game.

This year was a HELL of a year for hip-hop.

Master of Ceremonies
All 6's and 7's (album of the year hands down)
R.E.D. Album
Section.80
Welcome To Strangeland/Bad Meets Evil/Undun

This year was all about the mixtape though

"Power of the Dollar" his best album, while everything after "Get Rich.." turned out disappointing.

Some of my favs from his early days:

Guess Who's Back is the only memorable 50 mixtape, honestly can't think of any others. Maybe a couple G Unit radios.

Ghost Unit, YKWII 3 & 4, Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin >> 50's mixtapes

It's pure stannery. There's tons of artists with a better mixtape catalog. Young Jeezy, Game, Wayne all come to mind.

Hell, Google top 10 mixtapes of all time and get me a list without fif in it

50 Cent Is the Future
No Mercy, No Fear
God's Plan
Elephant In The Sand
War Angel
Forever King
Sincerely Yours, Southside
Guess Who's Back

You guys can't find the difference between stannery and hatred. All love for my GL fam though haha

by Ali Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:11 am

This song was so tight when it dropped.

Also, 50s tape was pretty dope as well, it spawned 4 hits so far (1 million+ views).

Today I was thinking, damn Eminem has had some effect on the rap game, so many classics under his belt, Encore (considered his worst album) has some dope shit on there man

I don't rely on google to tell me which mixtapes are good.

And stannery/stanning = being a fanboy of an artist not hatred(ie. Eminem's Stan)
