Admin Hero1 Posted August 2, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 What music are you listening to at the moment? I am listening to a bit of everything. I was in the studio with Kanye West last night, just kind of getting the vibe again. I always record. I have 30 or 40 records laying around all the time. What CD have you in your car right now? It's iPods now, so I have everything on there. The last whole album was Kanye West's album, College Dropout. And Jesus Walks, his latest track. I just listened to that six times last night. It was brilliant. What's brilliant about it? You don't have a lot of rap records talking about Jesus. And he was able to keep it grungy, but also to be able to talk about a topic that won't usually get any air play.

JumpinJack AJ Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I still prefer a JJ+FP track over any other track. But i ain't mad at a Kanye West track. If it's on the level of Talib Kweli's "Get By," Dialated People's "This Way," or Janet's "My Baby," i expect 2 hear good things. However, i have heard a few things he's produced that were very average. I love Will talking about other music he listens 2. Let's u know what he's thinking. I think Will is alot lot some of us where Hip-Hop is your 1st love...but that theres never alot of new Hip-Hop 2 get your hands on AND not any new Hip-Hop u even get exposed 2 cuz it dosen't get any promotion.

Da Brakes Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 (edited) Kanye himself says it in the song: [b]"So here go my single dawg radio needs this They say you can rap-about-anything except for Jesus That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes But if I talk about God my record won't get played, Huh?"[/b] Edited August 2, 2004 by Da Brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I think that just b-cuz of that line, it helped him get more airplay. I love the idea that one of the hottest people out there now has a concious. Most of these other fools don't care about life and what their fans are listening 2.

mfuqua23 Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 U know when I 1st read that, I thought that was Hero1 talkin. But then I was like oh, he pasted from an interview. Next time, use quotes so I'm not confused. It'z all good. Kanye is cool. Sometimes a lil bit of an ego. I just hope that this "Jesus Walks" isn't just a way 2 come up. A lot like Jadakiss's 'Why". That song is so fake. Honestly, I'd believe Kanye b4 I'd believe Jadakiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think "Why" is fake. Maybe who knows. Will also said on 106 and Park that the new Jadakiss album is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I think "Jesus Walks" is a great song...i just don't like the produciton that much. It's good, just not what i like. It's a powerful song tho' and it's definitly a change from what usually gets played on the radio. I don't think Jadakiss' "Why" is fake...but i think it's forced. I admire him 4 tackling topics in a song that actually matter (unlike much of his music)...but 2 me he comes off as trying 2 make a powerful song....trying 2 make the song deep when it should come natural. Not a bad song, it's just that after u hear so many raps from him that don't mean anything, it's hard 2 adjust 2 a song that says something.

DevilsJim89 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Will definalty has to release all his collaborations...a track with an old-skool rapper and a new chart topper, meaningful rapper can definatly show the rap world whats up. Put some JJ behind them and BAM! Mainstream radio takes a turn for the good for the first time in what? 12 years? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
