[...] You didn’t want the worst, you didn’t get the worst! The Roots have caved to public disgust and removed “Birthday Girl,” their collabo with omnipresent Fall Out Boy troubadour Patrick Stump, from their upcoming album Rising Down. “Birthday Girl” is still the album’s first international single, but it’s been reduced to “iTunes-only” status in America. I don’t really see what makes the song so heinous. It might be a little Sublime for hardcore fans of the band, but if it lacks crossover potential, it’s due to the Roots’ milquetoast albatross Black Thought, not Stump (ladies on YouTube seem to like the track just fine). If the vocal was credited to Cody ChesnuTT, would the Internet have been so put off? [Nah Right / Photo: AP] [...]

*daps ven, plug, drow*

@industries – it’s tough… I think part of the problem is that people stay trying to take it back… how about we push shit forward for a change?

and fuck hipster rap for thinking they’re pushing shit forward by taking it back… bastards…

>>>Premo dont really use bass like that.

^^^
Preemo should never step out of his element…that’s what makes him. Any emcee know that if you want straight up hip hop, he’s the go-to guy…unfortunately hip hop is dead so…

I wish dude just start givin away beats. I’d take one of them and just read a waffle house menu in the sound booth. That shit would bump in hip hop lounges across the nation…

(p.s. Jay-Z’s “Million and One Questions/Rhyme No More”=Preemo Classic)

[...] The Roots heard all your griping and decided to yank “Birthday Girl” from Rising Down. “We told you a few weeks ago that “Birthday Girl” could easily get dropped off of Rising Down. We received word over the weekend that the song is now the International Single and will be an iTunes exclusive. It will not appear on the North American release.”[via OKP, by way of Eskay] [...]

Whaddidup. So who is this “Cavlar” dude? Firstly, I can only assume he’s some gangster rapper, hence his silly misspelled name.

^^^what if Premo stepped out of his element for a change? when was the last time you heard something from him that didnâ€™t sound like the last 15 years of Gangstarr? Even the Christina Aguilera stuff sounded the sameâ€¦

nah. no change. he should just stay in his lane. I wish somebody would come out with an all premo tape. these rap cats be BS’n. even if they didnt wanna make it retail, do a mixtape. Rap cats always talkin bout how the game has changed but they stay tryin to make them ole Stanky booty singles

What would a Preemo and Bun B song even sound like? They should make that happen and show us. In the article outtakes he talks about working with Kane and G. Rap and his feelings about country music.
—————————–
I dont know if that would sound right. when I put in a bun cd, I wanna here that Texas bass. Premo dont really use bass like that. They SHOULD do a song together tho.
