  1. when listening to jazzy's "he's the king, i'm the dj" mixtape i was thinking to myself why didn't he leak the mj/fp track on there
  2. drake's too much like lil' wayne to me, occasionally he could bring something like he did on game's "good girls go bad" but he's mostly mediocre pop rap, that's all i gotta say 'cause i don't want to turn this thread into a bash wack rappers one, lol, anyways about the future of hip hop there's definately some hope out there 'cause after all the "ode to illmatic" mixtape by fashawn plays out like an album that's possibly the best mixtape i ever heard by anybody
  3. a lot of hip hop artists from the 80s go around touring with their classic material here in 2011 and make a good living off of that without even putting out much new material 'cause there's an audience out there that just can't get enough of that timeless feeling, i can't picture a lot of the current artists out now doing that in 2030 since a lot of their music is like mcdonalds... i believe kel got more value as a true hip hop artist than your average platinum rapper cause he ain't selling his soul, the material he put out on his mixtapes is better than a lot of albums out there on the market and he's worked with a lot of big names in hip hop history like JJFP, Grandmaster Flash, Q-Tip, Teddy Riley, MC Lyte, and Lil' Kim, true heads already know what's up, sure he needs to keep the ball moving with another project and since he's a true head I'm sure he'll keep going since true artists never stop...
  4. there was a couple albums released this year by hip hop legends that nobody really mentions but both talib and snoop ripped some ish: -talib kweli "i'm on one" -snoop feat. r. kelly and busta "platinum"(remix)
  5. "Friday Night Lights" has a lot of themes to it like a movie, he really knows how to craft lyrics together
  6. Fat Joe Feat MOP "Fight Club", "J.O.S.E." is a classic album
  7. yeah kel's the man regardless of what happens from this point on, like will said "why should i try to sound like y'all sound?/that's what's wrong with the rap game right now", regardless of what happens kel got respect from those who know him and that's what's most important, it don't matter you got 2 or 2 million fans as long as you remain true to yourself
  8. yeah you don't want to censor the way somebody wants to express themselves, just like Nas should been able to release his album the way that he wanted to a few years ago, and yes Fat Joe and Big Pun are puerto ricans but they're down with the hip hop culture and the only people that have problems with them saying the n word on record are those who don't like their music...
  9. I notice how a lot of people including many on this board spend a lot of time discussing all the ways about how hip hop is dead but don't spend much time to realise that there's a lot of talent out there that's breathing life into the game, I'm not that way though, I like to support these real mcs, if more do that then we'll see hip hop be at the level where it's supposed to be
  10. And for the record I don't think any rapper has a problem with Fat Joe saying the n word either, let's just move on, it's like some people think Will's average too, not everybody's gonna like the same artists no matter how much we try to convince them, let people listen to what they want and listen to what you want, I'm done with this thread, peace
  11. Well Eminem's says and does a lot of crap himself too so if he said the n word it wouldn't be a surprise, after all he did kill his mom and wife on record before, it'd probably be that type of reaction
  12. Heavy D got an album out? Thanks homie, that just made my day! Will "Chasing Forever"
  13. You know I wanted to say more in that last post but I was tired so after some sleep I'm gonna say this, I remember when I was in high school I'd get dissed too for being too "old school" rather than going with what was "hot" at the time, really it was 'cause I always have something to say in my raps which is why I relate to the legends more than the rappers that have major airplay that brag too much about how hard they are when that's all a front like Ice-T said, I think an Ice-T/Rick Ross battle would get a lot of the same reaction that the KRS/Nelly battle got, it helped introduce kids to KRS and it humbled Nelly, some kids will see the greatness of Ice-T here as well, that's the positive thing about battles like that... My goal is to keep the history of hip hop alive so when people hear me rhyme I want them to remember the pioneers of the game, it's like Nas' "Bridging The Gap", when people ask me who inspired me to rap I tell them about mcs like KRS, Chuck D, Rakim, and of course Fresh Prince who they usually just think of as an actor...
  14. I agree that bringing Numero Uno back would be more excitement to the board
  15. Bottomline if you don't like to listen to Fat Joe that don't bother me but don't single him out over negative things that other rappers do, that's what bothers me
  16. now that's what i'm talking about, that just made my day right there, that's the perfect timing for JJFP to cook up some classics!
  17. And for the hell of it here's another Fat Joe song, this is what makes him a hip hop legend to me, one of the illest posse tracks ever made, can't front on this lyricism: Fat Joe Feat. Nas, Big Pun, Raekwon, and Jadakiss "John Blaze"
  18. Well it's like Common said "If I don't like it, I don't like it that don't mean that I'm hating", at the end I give props to those who stand up as an individual rather than following what everyone else says is "hot" and that's why I'm with 100% of what you said Michael... I give listen to a lot of the stuff that people rank highly and give it a chance but I ain't gonna force myself to feel it if I don't just to please somebody... Ice-T takes a stand to go against the grain to say something even if it ain't politically, he don't kiss ass and that needs to be respected, personally I think he's talented enough to rip all three of those rappers easily, he's the original OG of the game, I like his "Power" album better than any album any of them put out...
  19. 250,000 is impressive, that's more than what game sold in the first week, maybe this'll open the doors up for more real mcs to sell(i.e. kel if you're reading this get back in the studio, you could still make it man), j. cole's holding down for the new generation of mcs, if it's anything like the "friday night lights" mixtape it'll be one of the best albums out in years, he got a lot of skills
  20. i tried to make a poll but it didn't go for me, could somebody help make one??!!
