Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

What do you guys think of the new Eminem songs that leaked recently with Royce? Living Proof, Echo, etc.

I like them both, Royce was good on Living Proof and he killed Echo. But I haven't been feeling Em on either one. Lyrically, his verses are nice, but his voice sounds different than it always has. It seems a lot more high pitched and less aggressive, I haven't been feeling them.

Yeah I would definitely say that Em's flow has changed

Great read.

It was interesting to hear what he had to say about Detox (among other things). I know he said "Dre still has the best ear in the business" and all that, but I'm worried to be honest.

In recognition of Black History Month, and we still gotta get a grip.

The new Saigon and Consequence are on heavy rotation right now. If you haven't heard them you should check them out. A quality long awaited debut album and a nice new mixtape.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I downloaded Kendrick Lamar's Overly Dedicated mixtape last night. I'm trying to get into him and so far I'm 50/50. I don't love everything I hear from him so far, but for the most part he's pretty nice.

Anyways, this song stood out to me. It's been stuck in my head since I heard it:

Almost forgot....NSFW as always

Memphis Bleek

Content wise I see why he never was a main stream artist but my question is.....why do so many people sleep on him?

Is DOC writing for Dre on Detox?

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Is DOC writing for Dre on Detox?

If you go to the home page it should be there. That's how I found it.

And he said he did write for Dre on Detox but it's a matter of whether or not Dre actually uses those songs. Apparently Dre is going in a different direction than DOC wanted or thought they should go in.

DX: Let’s just clarify real quick before we go any further, are you saying that you’re not working with Dre at this point?

The D.O.C.: I’m saying that I did all I could do for Dre on this particular record. And I don’t even know if any of my work will be there, because he’s got his own ideas about the way he wants it to go. And you gotta respect that. Even though I played the second set of ears on every mutha****in’ thing else, now we at the stage where he don’t really trust what I’m saying. And I gotta respect him. I love him. So I gotta move back and let him do what he doing. And whatever that is, I’m going to respect it and ride wit’ it – whether or not it woulda been something I would of chose.

DX: Can we just clarify once again? ‘Cause I wanna make it 100%, a 150% clear where your stance is with Dre as of this moment.

The D.O.C.: I love Dre like my brother. There’s nothing that you could do, or he could do really, to take away that feeling. Money isn’t what make – We been through too much; we did too much. I did too much wit’ him to be like, Aw, **** him. But, it’s not where it’s supposed to be. It’s not where it’s supposed to be after all of that. It’s not supposed to be like it is today between me and this guy. He’s surrounded himself with people that [agree with] what he’s trying to say today. And I don’t agree with that ****, so it’s really no need for me to be around it.

DX: Can you cite a moment [where this separation happened]? Was it the “Kush” record, [or] was there something before that where you just knew you had to part ways?

The D.O.C.: Nah. And I haven’t parted ways with this guy. I told you I love this guy like he’s my brother, but creatively it’s just not where it used to be. We don’t see things on the same level from a creative standpoint. I may not have agreed with “Kush” as it stood. I may have thought something else [would have worked instead], [but] I don’t have enough power anymore in that camp to really pull strings like I used to. Them *****s used to listen to every ****in’ word I said. Now it seem like they don’t do that no more.

DX: Sir Jinx told me that the stuff he heard, that Dr. Dre played for him, was similar to the song in the Dr. Pepper commercial. Do you know if that’s the stuff that they’re looking at trying to put out?

The D.O.C.: The Dr. Pepper commercial, that’s one of the tracks, but that one was leaked already. That was the one with T.I. on it I think, [“**** Popped Off”]. And that’s not a bad one. I like that rhythm; I like the groove. I’m laying in wait, I wanna see. I’m a fan just like you.

I worked for four years on that record with that dude. It didn’t used to take us that ****in’ long. We’d go in, and it was a couple of years maybe [and] we’d have what we needed. But, the game has changed. All the pieces of the puzzle ain’t there no more, ‘cause the money has ****ed up *****s’ minds. Everybody gotta be the big dog with the big dick. And that’s not how you create records. It’s gotta be love, and happy and fun and diggin’ it. The 2001 record was one that we had all got a chance to get together [for the first time] since the first Chronic record, and that **** was fun. It wasn’t really even about making music, it was just about, “Man, I can’t wait to get to the studio ‘cause all my little *****s gon’ be there. We gon’ smoke weed all day. We gon’ drink. Dre gon’ play some drums, and then whatever comes out comes out.”

EDIT: This work?
