Cormega does make some good points there, everybody's running to Lil' Jon and Kanye West for a hit and great producers like Large Professor get forgotten, it's dope to see a rapper today respect the history of the game like this.

This is amazing how well this album's doing considering that there wasn't much hype on it compared to other rap albums coming out(he didn't have too much guest appearances. high album ratings, or big name producers on it) but Will's a household name who could sell a lot on his own and could probably even sell 100,000 on an independent label but I won't be happy until I see this album outsell 50 Cent's and bring real hip-hop back to the top of the charts, "Party Starter" and "Tell Me Why" could be strong enough to do it in my opinion.

Cormega on Why We Need the Boom-Bap Back Cormega Labels don’t care about Hip-Hop culture no more, they care about success and dollars, so everyone’s following a formula rather than being original. First everybody started wearing suits and making those R&B friendly songs. Now people are going too far to the left with it. It’s played out. The producers started using the sped up vocals on their production and MCs even started singing. If that’s the case, we may as well be R&B singers with it. What happened to the knocking bass and the 808’s? And really, what happened to the DJ with scratches and stuff like that? Mike Tyson used to come out to Public Enemy. The s**t that’s out right now don’t get you hyped like how that Boom Bap s**t did back in the day. People play Rap for their kids now. There was a time when songs used to come on in the club, and you would just want to fight. It was adrenaline filled. People are scared to make those kinds of records. That Boom Bap was an era of greatness. It was like watching an NBA All-Star Game. Gilbert Arenus made the team this year. Let’s just say you take it back to when Jordan and Bird and Barkley, certain people couldn’t be an All-Star during those eras. Jay-Z is able to shine during this age because he has flow. Rap is all about who has the dopest flow right now. Rakim and Kane are from the era when it was about what you were saying. You f**kin’ with a Hip-Hop historian. That’s where the term “wack MC” comes from. You can’t say “wack MC” today, because it’s all about flow. If you look at flow, Vanilla Ice had a dope f**kin’ flow. The record that Pharell produced with Fabolous rappin’ on it, he used Vanilla Ice’s flow. I know this for a fact because Pharell told me himself. Mase had a dope ass flow. But “The Message” by Melle-Mel isn’t the record it is because of the flow, it is the record it is because of what he was saying. Nas is one of the last rappers from the say-something era. If I was A&R a Kane or a G Rap, I’d say, “don’t follow the formulas of these rappers today, because you’re downsizing yourself. These guys are more accomplished financially. But as far as great artists, they’ve yet to catch up to you guys.” When KRS-One did Return of the Boom Bap, I think he was just trying to bring it back and step it up. At that time, a lot of rappers on the East Coast was going into the Jazz sound. There was a lot of experimentation going on. That smooth G-Funk was dominating too. Also around that time was Black Moon. That is Boom-Bap too! If you look at it nowadays, all the artists that were trying to represent Hip-Hop as an art form aren’t getting the love they deserve. Of course it’s the MC’s responsibility to keep it Boom-Bap too. A lot of MC’s don’t have balls. Everybody wants to accommodate the radio. Everybody’s running out to get a Kanye West beat or a Lil’ Jon beat because they’re the hot producer right now rather than using a new producers whose beats are crazy or working producers like DJ Premier and Large Professor whose sound is why we fell in love with Hip-Hop in the first place and now we treat them like they’re less of a priority. On every album, I show love to a new producer. So far I introduced Sha Money XL, J Love, and Emile to the industry and now they’re big producers in the Hip-Hop. I didn’t chose them because they had a name, but because their s**t was hot. Right now, we’re extracting all the juice out of Rap. It’s getting to the point where it’s so wack, so boring, so predictable that people tend to forget what made Rap what it was. The sped R&B vocals tracks producers are using is played out. When I did that on The Testament, it was the early 90’s. Now I’m trying to get away from all that because it’s overused. I’m trying to make music that’s timeless, classic Hip-Hop. That’s one of the reasons why people are still able to listen to my album The Testament which we just put out in February. It was recorded nearly a decade but it doesn’t sound like the typical record you hear today. They all have the same formula. I don’t ride with what everyone else is doing. Rap has been very abusive to its pioneers. I told Large Professor, he’s dope – I’m definitely going to put him on the album. He’ll look at me like, “word word?” So many people tell him that, but don’t do it. Take MC Shan. When we did the QB’s Finest album, I told him, “Don’t try to do what we do. Do what you did. Because what you did, made us want to do what we doing. The way you rapped is timeless. It’s not played out.” That’s one of the reasons why I like Soul music because it’s classic. Marvin Gaye’s album, What’s Going On, is a classic that you can listen to even a hundred years from now and it still has relevance and meaning. In a way, when they first introduced the term “old school,” it was cute. It was a fun term. It was a piece of slang that some of the older people used to use. It was actually a term of endearment. But now, it’s almost a term of ridicule. You’ll hear a younger dude say, “Oh, he old school.” If a throwback jersey comes out, they don’t call it an old jersey. It’s vintage, or it’s retro. When the old Jordan’s come out, they don’t look down on those. When I made The Testament and The True Meaning, it was a debatable topic as to which is better. To have that argument in itself is a compliment to both albums especially because The Testament wasn’t released when it should have come out. If it had been, it would have been crazy. I’m just happy it’s finally out. Now the challenge is to try and outdo them both on my next solo album, and fill what might have been missing from them and from Rap music at the same time. What’s missing from Hip-Hop is that Boom-Bap sound. In 1992, I made a record called “Sex, Drugs, Bitches, and Money.” It’s just like Biggie’s “Dreams of F**kin’ an R&B B*tch.” I didn’t have an album up, but back in the day that music would circulate. It was a hit record in Queensbridge projects. Grandmaster Vic would make mixtapes in Jamaica, Queens. I was making songs like that. I had a song called “Set It Off” with a group called PHD on Tuff City Records. This album is called Without Warning, and it’s out there from 1991. I know somebody’s gonna try and bite me, but on my next album, Urban Legend, I have a track with PMD, Grand Puba, KRS-One, and Big Daddy Kane. It’s my greatest accomplishment. It’s not even a Boom-Bap record, it’s a feel-good record and my way of paying tribute to the MCs who came before me. I didn’t ask them to give me 16 bars on any kind of topic, I just told them to be themselves. I also told them how much I appreciate them as artists. Urban Legend is my solo third album coming soon and it's gonna be a challenge to myself. I don’t even include The Testament; that’s more of a collector’s album, or Legal Hustle which was a collaborative album. A third album is a defining moment. The one that can make you or break you. A lot of artists only get two or three albums. This one will prove if I’m going to stay or leave. So I’m going hard with it and I gotta bring back that loud Boom Bap s**t. Enjoyable, but loud. I want to f**k up people’s speakers. I want people to complain. I also want n***as to respect what I’m saying. Reprinted with permission from Elemental Magazine issues #68

Why would Will diss Snoop since they did "Pump Ya Brakes" together? I'm not trying to diss gangsta rap by saying that it's overrated, it's dope as hell, but other forms of rap get overlooked that's just as dope. "He's The DJ..."'s on the same level as "Straight Outta Compton", "Code Red" is on the same level as the "The Chronic" and "Willenium"'s on the same level as "Chronic 2001".

BEP's not "sell-outs", they just experiment with their music just like Common and The Roots do, speaking of Common, it looks like the hype for his album's fading faster than I expected, I figured that album was gonna hit platinum by now with all the hype it had before it dropped, it's amazing that Will might outsell Common this week since Common's on his second single already and Will hasn't even released "Parter Starter" yet. btw, I was figuring Fat Joe would outsell 50 cent this week, considering the hype he had for dissing 50 Cent but I guess the peeps are tired of this tired weak beef already, hopefully "Lost and Found" can surpass all these weak albums this summer.

I agree with the majority, Will has to bust out the new single! :jazzy:

Hip-Hop artists JJFP, LL, and Public Enemy have had as much impact as NWA and Snoop Dogg have had and definately more than Fat Joe and 50 Cent but yet they get ranked below all of them, that's Will's beef there which I agree with, gangsta rap is overrated.

I don't understand how they could say record sales don't matter when they ignore albums like Will Smith's "Big Willie Style", Fugees "The Score", and LL Cool J's "Mr. Smith" then they put Eminem's "Marshall Mathers LP"(he bites off 2Pac/Biggie like everyone else but gets shine 'cause he's white, Beastie Boys were mentioned already so he shouldn't get any merit), Jay-Z' "The Blueprint"(more impact than Big Daddy Kane or even Biggie?), and Kanye West's "College Dropout"(more impact than "Paid In Full"? that just came out last year too, give it some time and we'll see not that much impact) which were high selling albums but didn't have that much of an impact, they gave too much props to gangsta/hardcore rap then they should've but I guess that's the only rap rock heads get down with. I think Slick Rick(for storytelling), 2Pac(for making introspective/thugged out rhymes that most rappers do now), and MC Hammer(for the way rappers make videos) should've been mentioned too 'cause they're influence on commercial rap is evident today. Queen Latifah and MC Lyte had more impact on female rappers than Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliot have had even though their album were great, that'd be in the top 200. I noticed D'angelo's album was the only r&b album they mentioned, they should've mentioned Babyface, Boyz II Men, Guy, Bobby Brown, New Edition, Keith Sweat, Mary J. Blidge, Toni Braxton, Jill Scott, and even Usher before they mentioned D'angelo. How the hell could Michael Jackson's "Bad" and Janet Jackson's "Rhthym Nation" be ignored? This list does suck but it's make a perfect list with music categories together but you could say that JJFP, 2Pac, and LL Cool J have had a big impact just like Public Enemy and Run-DMC for people that don't even listen to rap so they should've been mentioned.

Spin Magazine Picks Radiohead CD As Best By JAKE COYLE, Associated Press Writer Sun Jun 19, 2:24 PM ET NEW YORK - Spin magazine named Radiohead's "OK Computer" the top album of the past 20 years, praising a futuristic sound that manages to feel alive "even when its words are spoken by a robot." The British band's album edged out Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" and Nirvana's "Nevermind" on a list in Spin's 20th anniversary issue, currently on newsstands. "Between Thom Yorke's orange-alert worldview and the band's meld of epic guitar rock and electronic glitch, (`OK Computer') not only forecast a decade of music but uncannily predicted our global culture of communal distress," reads the editorial note on what separated the 1997 disc from the other 99 ranked albums. Sandwiched between Radiohead's straight-ahead rock disc "The Bends" and the more experimental, electronic "Kid A," "OK Computer" was the album that propelled Radiohead to worldwide, stadium-sized popularity. Though it never went higher than No. 21 on the Billboard charts, it won critical raves and a Grammy for best alternative music performance. Spin's Chuck Klosterman says the album "manages to sound how the future will feel. ... It's a mechanical album that always feels alive, even when its words are spoken by a robot." Years earlier, Spin ranked Nirvana's "Nevermind" the greatest album of the nineties. In the time since, however, editor-in-chief Sia Michel and others simply found they were reaching for "OK Computer" more than the slightly less relevant "Nevermind." "Whereas when Nirvana came out, everybody was talking about negation and slackers and everything like that — seven years later, it was the dot-com boom and 22-year-olds were making $80,000 on Web sites," Michel recently told The Associated Press. Also in the top 10, in order, are Pavement's "Slanted and Enchanted," The Smiths' "The Queen is Dead," Pixies' "Surfer Rosa," De La Soul's "3 Feet High and Rising," Prince's "Sign `o' the Times," PJ Harvey's "Rid of Me" and N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton." The entire list of 100 is just as eclectic; a photograph of an atypical trio of Dr. Dre, Bono and Beck dons the issue's cover. The amount of hip-hop on the list may surprise some (25 albums in all — 26 if you count Rage Against the Machine), given that Spin is predominantly a rock magazine. Michel, however, points out that Spin started several years before hip-hop mag Source was founded: "We put hip-hop on the cover before anyone else did." "Because we started this list in 1985, we pretty much hit hip-hop in its golden age," she says. "There were so many important, groundbreaking albums coming out right about that time." After gathering suggestions from everyone at the magazine, a tribunal of Michel and editors Jon Dolan and Charles Aaron sorted out the ultimate records of "the Spin era." Their criteria, Michel says, was the basic brilliance of the record, its innovation and its overall relevance. "Relevance doesn't have to mean it sold 10 million copies," she says. "Someone like the Pixies never really sold records, but Nirvana has said it wouldn't exist without the Pixies." Both the approach and content stands in stark contrast to fellow rock magazine Rolling Stone's 2003 issue on the top 500 albums of all time. Topping that collection was the more hallowed (and less surprising) like of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. Some of the most recent entries to Spin's list are 2004's "College Dropout" by Kanye West, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 2003 "Fever to Tell" and Wilco's 2002 "Yankee Foxtrot Hotel." Of course, judgments of these kind are always subject to debate. "The art department was just railing against us all the time and campaigning against things," says Michel. The lack of inclusion of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, she says, pushed them to the brink: "That was a band that the art department was like, `You guys are crazy!

:word: Will's "Mr. Nice Guy" like that song so he doesn't want to end anyone's career but nobody could end his career and take his fame away, those that hate on him are beneath him and're only jealous. I don't think LL'll get involved in battlin' anymore either 'cause I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to call him out on a song knowing what he could do to them.

DJ Kay Slay feat. Nas, Foxy Brown, Baby, and Amerie "Too Much For Me"

I think it'd be better if everyone 50 Cent dissed on "Piggy Bank" did a track together rather than doing these tracks seperately and make a video dissing G Unit, it could be a posse track going back and forth like when LL Cool J, Prodigy, Foxy Brown, Fat Joe, and Keith Murray did the "I Shot Ya" remix. Nas, Game, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, with Kelis on the hook(she could make fun of Olivia, lol) would put an end to G Unit in my opinion.

Run-DMC "You Be Illin'"

Yeah that's "200 bars and running", u mean "300 bars and running" is totally different from "200 bars and running"? Did somebody on the internet actually wrote this? Well whoever wrote that has some skills, although I think I could write something better. :lolsign: I figured it was just an extension of "200 bars and running" but damn this dude's putting too much energy into dissing wack rappers, he should spend more time in trying to make a good album instead, I'm not gonna waste time to listen to 15 minutes of Game rapping unless I need something to make me sleep. If you could find the lyrics to Game's "300 bars and running" post them here, I only wanna see the lyrics.

Thanks for this, nice to hear Charlie Mack giving back! :2thumbs:

Out of all the G Unit diss songs, I think I like Fat Joe's the best, it was short and to the point:"I see Michael Jordan in the 'hood more than I see you", The Game did have a few good punchlines in there but it was too long, quality's better than quanity, regardless G Unit's getting burned pretty bad right now!

Thanks for posting that, Garfield rules! :2thumbs:

I said I doubt this Game song could be as dope as "Rapper's Delight", Game's just sayin' how much of a thug he is, that ain't what a battle should be about, I couldn't find the lyrics to "300 bars and Running" but I found lyrics to "200 Bars and Running" and I notice that most of those lines weren't even a diss to G Unit as I expected, it's just dragged out too far, this is nowhere near as good as "Ether", well check the lyrics http://display.lyrics.astraweb.com:2000/di...rs_and_running: [The Game talking] What the **** is all this noise?

The song's longer than 18 minutes? That's as long as "Rapper's Delight", I doubt it's as dope as that though and he could come up with that many lines to diss somebody, he should just turn it into a book! :pony:

Yeah like Will says in that song "the rain gonna come/through the window, pain gonna come/Rich, poor, black white, it's the same ol' drum", even celebrities have problems in life, no matter how much fame and props you might get even when your dream comes true not everything's perfect so I guess it's all about surviving and doing the best we could do, I'm not gonna give up on my dreams either no matter how long it takes, look at Chuck D: he thought he was too old to sign to Def Jam and make an album when he was 27 years old but he's still going strong now almost 20 years later and is called one of the greatest rappers ever, he could've gave up and not even made one album. It's easier to make short-term goals rather than just focusing on long-term goals 'cause that becomes too much of a stress when you do that and plans always change, having an impact on other people though is the type of goal that helps though since the love comes back in return.

Well Lincoln and Malcom X were legends in political history with their influence still shown today and Run DMC, LL, Public Enemy, and JJFP are legends in entertainment history to help hip-hop be excepted by the mainstream and be a force as a billion dollar buisiness for many more years to come.

I think that a lot of fans base their opinions mostly on magazine reviews and radio play, they think that Will's wack 'cause he never gets a cover story in The Source and doesn't get much airplay on black radio so they won't even give the albums a listen, but there are a few that're open minded and actually give the music a listen before they diss somebody.

They should've put the bonus music DVD with all the "Hitch" DVDs not just the ones with Walmart, that way everyone could get the bouns! :smart:

:word: Well any rap that ain't about guns, drugs, or sex gets called corny by most of these ignorant fans 'cause they don't know that hip-hop was created to have fun and stop the violence, JJFP are keepin' it real the most when it comes to making quality music.

Hey I was hanging out on the boardwalk in Seaside a lil' while ago and I noticed that one of the stands was playing "Party Starter", that made my day, I just figured I'd let y'all know about that! :jazzy:
