Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I like 8-9 songs. I mean it is not as good as Epiphany but still pretty solid. Better than the stuff I have heard in a while. And light years better than the Carter 3

If this is what mainstream rap has come to, we really need a 2004 era G-Unit reunion. I'm not a "mainstream music sucks" guy, but T-Pain and Little Wayne need to go away and take their wackass crew with them.

Most of them aren't even songs. Probably 10 of those are either skits or just minute long things.

Yeah, GARBAGE. My head hurts. Theres NO WAY this album should be in the same sentence as Carter 3.

Man I've been bumping this Devin The Dude "Landing Gear" for 3 weeks straight. For all my smokers, drinkers...you already know Devin comes hard on it. Been bumping this CD so much, I done forgot about what other CDs/Mixtapes are coming out and ya'll know that aint me to do something like that lol.

For the folks that never listened to The Dude before, you should definitely give him a listen.

"Finer things" with The Dude, Scarface, and Too Short was and still is dope.

This is real good. Crooked I had the best verse to me, I like his verse on Jay/Joe. Apparently, there could be some truth to the rumor of a mixtape with these four. Joell went in as well. All were good, but those two were the best IMO.

Kanye West is officially on my whack list. That new song "Amazin" could have been fire, instead he just spills his drink on himself and ruins it. He has completely lost his ability to hold a note or hit the right key now that he uses Autotune, but even then it's obvious when he misses and sounds horrible. Kanye was the man back when he was just raw and spitting rhymes, now he's trying to be Mr. Polished and he sucks. I get the feeling he got way overconfident in himself and isn't putting in the time on these tracks, they sound so amateurish like he just went with whatever he thought of first and started singing it. News flash for him is that he's horrible

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I agree that "Amazing" could have been better, and I am not a big fan of the autotune (though I am not anti-autotune, it just depends on how it's used), but I liked "Love Lockdown". I also like it when artists try different things, so I am gonna reserve judgment until I hear the album.

Basically let's stop the autotune movement.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Kanye and pretty much about 75% of the rappers out here just half *** on they songs/albums nowadays because they know that people will still buy their **** regardless if it sucks or not.
