Music: HIP HOP!!!

[Strider]

A shame I missed the Mut & SK debate / argument. Would have enjoyed tossing my short change into the midst of that one. I won't bother breathing life into it, though.

Gatman & Robbin'. The beat is humorous, as it follows that classic television show, which cannot be hated on. Classic. And, Em's flow alone on it is sickeningly ridiculous. Can't knock Eminem .. too much. Just a shame his rhymes on everyone's guest tracks outshined his tracks on Encore. Ah well.

Last thing, just because the comment alone made me literally laugh out loud ..

SK: You're never allowed to like anything more than Mut because he's four years older than you. He's liked it first, since you weren't born yet, making his affinity towards it that much more greater than yours.

.. Right.

Shut up, smartass. That's not even what I meant so don't bring up a dead issue.

You're retarded. Kill yourself.

[Strider]

My comment was the last addition to my post, and the only thing I was addressing in regards to your dead issue. You request the elimination of assumptions, only to follow up with one of your own with a statement that I allegedly incorrectly perceived. Comedy. But, what do I know? I've only got 200 posts.

Moving right along. Shall we?

Joe Budden - Gangsta Party

First track of his I've heard in a long time, and I am sorely disappointed. I do not know how large of a fan following the guy's had / has, but I was thoroughly liking his first album. If this single, which I hope isn't an attempt at a club banger, is an indication of what's to come .. I'm not looking forward to it. Even though, that isn't fair as most singles are simply done to be played on the radio and get them air time. Still .. it isn't an excuse to make a deplorable song.

im not to sure about that joe budden song, i was never really feeling him much. oh i'll try to send those technique songs strider, once i get some time. its such a large file

[Strider]

Pft, don't feel for a second like you have to rush or drop anything to get that time to send those songs over to me. You're the one doing me the favor. Whenever you get to it, it'll be appreciated.

But, I liked his first album. His flow was different, and a lot of his rhymes were fairly deep with a lot more context between the lines. Give "Joe Budden - 10 Mins" a download, if you can. I think that's one of his better tracks. If you do give it a chance and listen to it, be sure to let me know what you think.

i liked the song, thought it was pretty good. much better than some of the other stuff he's put out.

Anyone get the new Memphis Bleek cd, 534? Its got some great songs on it. Track 4 (titled Like That) is probably my favorite. Its got a great beat to it.

[Strider]

I was liking "Infatuated." I believe it's the track right after the song you like, NarutoMaster.

I have not given the entire album a listen, and actually skipped over the first couple to listen to "Dear Summer." I wanted to see what the hype was all about, and let it play up until about Track 06 or Track 07. I'll most likely post my full thoughts on it tomorrow, once I've given it a thorough listen.

Are there even any big albums coming up in the near future, that people are waiting on? It's hard to keep up down here, even though I do have the internet at the tip of my fingers as a source of information, but I just haven't had that chance to see a list of future releases to see if there are any crazy, highly anticipated ones.

I'd like to see a future Eightball & MJG CD soon. Living Legends was the shit. I do not even care too much for down south music, but their flow and beats (production from P. Diddy) was tight. I think those who don't find themselves listening to too much southern music will find themselves bumping the CD.

ill probably download the memphis bleek cd, if its real good ill buy it because he needs some success. i love dear summer, jay-z tells game how it is in a couple lines, cant wait for a response from game. jay-z will kill him...btw check out kanye's new song with a guy named newz, its pretty good.

[Kardiva]

i'm checking it out as we speak. but i dont think im going to buy that memphis bleak album, he never has impressed me much.

jay z vs game = no contest. i'm bored even thinking about it. jay shouldn't even have wasted his breath

[SK]

cool i downloaded memphis bleek's album in only 19 minutes, i think its pretty damn good.

[mrla119]

if you guyz like tupac you should try listening to Black Haze. He sounds a lot like him especially in the song ima die a hustler. listen to it. Black Haze - I'ma die a hustler. And if ur into like hardcore gangster white boi rap listen to Brother Lynch Hung

[Mut]

Sorry but Black Haze and Brother Lynch Hung both suck hardcore. Just terrible music.

[Kardiva]

never heard of either, so i cant comment. other than that i dont think anyone can be tupac again. he'll prob end up like that guy who sounded like biggie. just a one hit wonder. i forget that guys name though

i listened to that kanye song though. wasnt liking it at first but the more i hear it the better it sounds. but that guy newz cant rap for shit

[SK]

yeah i dont like that guy much either, but kanye's rapping is pretty good, especially for a producer.
btw i like 2pac, but that doesnt mean i want to hear a pac wannabe, there was only 1 pac.

[Astronopolis]

Dude, Hip Hop is so last week, if you want some real sounds that'll expand your mind, try Polka

[darkshadow]

thats not funny...............not even if it aint supposed to be funny..................

[Kardiva]

boo that man. if you've got nothing intelligent or relavent to say, dont say anything. esp not in a hip-hop discussion, do you want to die?

not that i would ever do such a thing...

[SK]

anyway im listening to beanie sigel and memphis bleeks' albums a lot. i think its strange that they released them around the same time, theyre kind of competing against each other. not like i bought either anyway.

EDIT: some interesting news for the hip hoppers here

G-Unit to sign M.O.P and Mobb Deep???
Wednesday - May 25, 2005

50 Cent may be the most hated man in hip-hop amongst other rhymespitters but he obviously must be doing something right. Not only has he sold millions of records, but now the rapper is courting two of the most highly touted groups in hip-hop- Mobb Deep and M.O.P.

At first this just seemed like another round of rumors that had absolutely no merit but now 50 has told MTV that he is very close to signing both groups.

"I'm ready to expand and do other things," he explained. "Creatively, there are certain artists out there I respect. I've been listening to their music for a long time. I wanna work with them. I want to be able to put my full effort into it, but I can't work for it unless it's in both of our best interests, and that's with them being signed to G-Unit as a record company. It'll be serious. We've got a chance to go do some exciting things."

Many of you may think that 50 must be full of it but surprisingly Havoc of Mobb Deep seconds the notion&

"We've been talking to 50 for a minute, maybe a month," he said. "Initially we were gonna sign to Interscope. After a while we saw it best [to sign] with 50 because of the style of music [we do]. We sat down with 50 and he let us know what he could do for us. We're satisfied with the move. I don't know how other people are gonna feel about the move. It's probably gonna be a lot of hate in people's blood, but we don't give a f---. We're gonna continue making our music. I feel we have a bigger platform. I can't wait. The adrenaline is pumping. I just wanna get it started."

Laze E. Laze, who assists in guiding M.O.P.s career decisions, confirmed that the group is indeed talking to 50 but hasnt elaborated beyond that.

[Kardiva]

now thats something interesting. i think MOP will fit in with 50 before mobb deep does. i think both groups just want to get some more play and find another creative outlet. i think thats kinda what busta did, when things really werent going his way he went over to dre.
