DJ Semtex Previews Common’s Invincible Summer
Semtex goes over the 8 out of 10 songs he heard off of Com’s latest effort, Invincible Summer. One particular song addresses what Common’s been speaking about for years, from Jada’s Why remix, to just last year’s The People:
CHANGES: Common said that he hoped that this would be the victory anthem for when Barack Obama is elected President so you can guage what this joint is about. This is a very inspirational song. Common’s daughter recites the poem at the end of the track too.
Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms but won’t reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise
I look into my daughter’s eyes
And realize that I’ma learn through her
The Messiah, might even return through her
If I’ma do it, I gotta change the world through her - Common’s BE Intro

^Why you expected me? lol. If talib kweli was a CO, i’d understand, if lupe, Q-tip, P monch, anyone of that calibur, i’d understand, cause it wouldn’t be too off, you can imagine that because the image they painted with there words represented them. But Rawwwws? Not saying I belive 100% what he says, but when you imagine a nigga (n/h) past in your mind while listening to him the last thing you would think is “he talking all this gangsta shit, & he was a co?” If alfamega was a co, i’d be shocked, real talk, I would listen to him still but I would be shocked. Another thing, Rawwws had to feel someway about his past, cause he would’ve brung it up, but instead he’s denying it, so he know something is wrong with that picture, maybe the truth is coming out. Plies never denyed going to college, & he kills everyone in his raps, if you running from something from your past, you must feel some type of way about it.

shit dont have nothing to do with 50 and Game or whoever..
it’s about concepts and hyprocrisy… to show it i gotta name names.. thats it…
it’s like this.
D-Block swears by the code of: “niggas dont need to pay attention to rappers personal lives or what they do outside the music”
OK i can buy that… but here comes the fake shit
50 puts out buck’s phone call… all of a sudden it’s “man 50 a bitch ass nigga for doin that shit son.. 50 not family for that shit… 50 a sucka… 50 is a women… 50 is a hater… 50 fucked my wifey..”
AND THEN,
when Game goes back on his word for the 1000th time of saying he don’t have no beef with gunit or 50…. your reaction is “i dont care about they personal lives, or how he acts outside of hiphop…you shouldnt pay attention to anything outside of the music man”
THAT IS KILLING HIPHOP.. that fake 1 sided bullshit…..

CO’s are inherently crooked and do a lot of dirt. They’re still CO’s tho. And this doesnt change my opinion about Ross’ music. It still sucks.

Ross is a chump.. bottom line.. anybody who cant see that is got problems… like i said if thats what he was, fine.. rap about that nigga.. rap about being a crooked c.o. when you got in the game..
shit atleast Nas is authentic… he never was heavy in the streets or banged out like that. that was jungle. nas defintely grew up in that envoirment and seen it all..
when Nas rhymes for the most part, he tells for the “project window” angle… thats why most people got respect for him… when he tell you a story he tell from that perspective most of theim time… and especially when Nas is in interviews he never put out that “i was in the streets heavy bustin my gun all day” type shit.. he always on that “yeah i seen that shit it was all fucked up”.. and then he put it out in his music..

^Check
And this doesnt change my opinion about Ross’ music. It still sucks.
^Double check
Not to be the e-thug or whatever, but I spent a calender behind the wall (long story) & my hate for CO’s grew, they are all clown ass niggas. I never got cool with em, never chopped it up with em, nothing. for One they use there power to there advantage, if they attempt to bitch a nigga & the dude don’t back down, they pop his cell midnight & fuck him up, like 15 of em, or don’t wake em up if they got another courtdate, meaning the inmate now got a bench warrent out for him while he’s locked up. Play with a nigga mail, & a nigga be dying for that mail, just to know someone from the outside still cares means alot, & they play with a nigga mail, all types of homo shit. I hate CO’s, any nigga that choose to be a CO can’t talk like rick rawwws, flatout period, there’s no other explination to it.

I consider myself in the “I dont give a fuck what a rapper does” camp, but like Joe said, its not just the fact that he’s a CO. It’s the fact that his ENTIRE PERSONA is based on being a dude that works and lives outside the law. I mean, if it turned out that Tupac was a soft, drama club nerd would you still look at him the same way? I doubt it. Oh, wait…
July 15th, 2008 at 9:48 am
@ b-ease… dissapointing, but not the end of everything..
@ dblock.. nah i dont buy what u saying.. the phone call is just 1 example..
my main point again is… niggas take the time out to call out 50 and the Unit on personal shit that dont have nothing to do with the music, but when they favorite artist (Game or whoever) do something that there own morals tells him its wrong, they won’t call it out… They all of a sudden hide behind the “i only care about the music”
July 15th, 2008 at 9:48 am
What ever happened to enjoying the music, now i have to investigate and see if the niggas really a G…SMH…..What ever happened to appreciating someones artistic creative brilliance?

Perfect example: CB4. there whole image, raps, everything was based around another nigga, & when they got exposed, no one wanted to hear them. No one likes a phony, am I right? Now me, since i’m not invovled into all of that shit further then, chilling with the nigs, might lil flip here & there for random reasons, & hit the club godzilla like, so I don’t care if a nigga real, & if anyone isnt in that life either shouldn’t care, but it’s a reason why niggas care, cause there living it, you dig?

if they don’t like the rapper, they the 1st ones who would expose them!!!
^I gotta co-sign this, a few weeks back, pockets was talking bout how beans couldn’t have lived everything he did, but overlooked lupe rapping about guns. Basiclly he didn’t care about lupe past, but beans past effected him listening to beans. 2 points for 2x

ok. what if you found out that Pun wasn’t Cuban or Latino even? if he was just frontin all that…
or what if you found out that Buddens wasn’t a depressed bum and that he was fakin all the emotions and rhyme shit in his music?
would that music mean the same thing to you????
would you still be interested in that artist? (with pun case, imagine if he was still here)

What does Pun be Spanish have to do with anything? Im no the typical im puerto rican so Big Pun is my favorite rapper ass nigga so that doesnt reall apply to me….and if i was like that i mean him being a different nationality wouldnt mean shit to me…he was a dope lyricist….
About buddens now i wouldnt give a shit either because the music he makes has a message so if he really didnt go through depression and have problems the music he made still helped people get through whatever they was going through….and really fuck if hes lying, the nigga gave me some hot introspective music to sing along with…

c’mon dog you couldnt understand what i was tryin to say?…my point was if Pun got exposed for a fraud.. like for example if he wasnt the race he claimed, or if he wasnt as fat as he claimed, or whatever whatever… whole pt being if he was drastically frontin, would you still have interest in him like you did..
and i guess you answered the question… to you i guess it dont matter then… aight cool.

nobody outside the underground hiphop sites even know about this nas album..
even if you count all the nahrighters.. lets say they all fans of nas.. 200-300.. and then add anotha 5-10k for other random web sites.. and the anotha 30k from hardcore Nas fans that dont log on to the internet for some odd reason, thats only around 45k
im not saying nas doing 45k, but damn he got nothing going on.. no promotion, no radio, no video… what numbers do you think he gonna do?

A persons personality plays a part in everything, sports, movies, music, politics, how many niggas you heard say the like B clinton because he smoked weed, & got head? They didn’t know anything else about the guy except that, how many niggas you heard say they didn’t like kobe because they think he’s a bitch? He’s the best on the planet currently but plenty of people don’t like him because of how he carries himself. actors, etc, everything that’s in the public eye we make our main decisions off how they come off (n/h) so to say a person personal life has nothing to do with a artist is false, now how much does the person backround weigh on the overall outlook on the artist is the real question.

nas will do about 150,000. but his hardcore fans will become even more dedicated to him. the saavy thing about the whole nigger move was that he established himself as anti-sales. so no matter how much he sells it can still read as a successful album…

Similar to how when a huge movie opens up, the 2nd movie, regardless of what is, usually has a big week too just because so many people are at the theater. Or, I could be a hater, and Plies could have a real legitimate fanbase.

There’s not one rapper that i’ve seen with my own 2 eyes do anything, neither has majority of the people on nah right
Once again a rapper has to convince the average listener to belive there story, so when you been pulled in to belive him only to find out he’s fake of course majority of the people are gonna stop listening. Most people say they don’t care because they already found love for there talent, but if a rapper was packaged & marketed like
“This is gangsta fred, he raps about growing up in the streets of magnolia, shooting undercover cops for fun, tea bagging bitches, doing numerous drugs, & riding on 37′ rims, buts he’s really from north dakota, has a 4.0 grade average, never done drugs, & drives a subaru…….but he can rap well
