Yo, can’t really figure this clown out
where is he from Jamaca, Queens, Cali or down south?
and I could let an LA gun hit ‘em
but Grape Street already told me you pay ‘em to run wit’ ‘em
I could let a New York knife poke ‘em
with 1 of my throw aways but i don’t wanna see no cops smoke ‘em
uh somebody tell Pa we ridin’
and get read to auction of the car he die in
whenever we bump heads, since you like havin’ people witchu
get you a hospital with bunk beds
without Dr.Dre you would just make slow jams
come up outta that witness protection program
Hov don’t really respect you, get in ya place
if Big was alive he’d a probably spit in ya face
Nas been doin’ just fine without you
and pac probably woulda made an album about you
so i guess that just leaves me here to get rid of you
and Rakim an ‘em they don’t even consider you
Em know you aint got nothin’ for jada
and i know he appreciates all the money you made ‘em
it’s two thousand and 5 nobody fights fair
i just know an instrumentals ya worse nightmare
but you tough and you bad too bad you mad
probably been in ya own hood more than you have
yea you sold more records than me
but in the streets you gon’ always be second to me
we was damn near feelin’ you
even though ya careers is based on somebody damn near killin’ you
shit you be doin’ aint even considered rappin’ to us
this is probably the best thing to happen to us
the best wanksta, internet gangsta, magazine mobster
shit on ya whole roster
get ready to say hail mary’s and our fathers
get out ya black suits and hard bottoms
haha and don’t worry i got ‘em
he aint a problem child just a child with a problem

^damn, times is hard…niggas can’t afford new albums

^M.O.P.- Warriors should be considered

Good one Sev. I actually just re-bought the LP used over the weekend. It is still crack.
===
yeah. that album is still potent.
*daps*
December 7th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
you talking about quality or just “hardness” [II]
Cos if its just hardness [II], Yayo’s 1st LP should be up there. Thats shit was so hardbody it was overkill lol

Killa, Juelz, and Hell Rell killed millions of people and sold copious amounts of cocaine and heroin in the lyrics on that LP …
^
Well so did Ross on DTR but i still wouldn’t call it “hard”…*
———-
but William Roberts is a highly decorated officer of the law and a celebrated law enforcement official, so we know his rhymes are buttery soft … and Warden Ross rhymes over R&B loops while Heatmakerz and Just Blaze was making gritty street anthems like “Dipset Anthem” and “I Really Mean It” …

This is funny.
December 7th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Felony Niggas? Lol…disagreed.
^^
Co-disagree. Sheek’s solo was wack as fuck tho (Bring It on). I’ve said it on here a million times, but I’ll reiterate, WOTS shoulve ended after track 13 with the last song (track 18?) being the final cut.
December 7th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Yayo’s 1st LP should be up there.
^
Yeah, it can be and TOAPF had ill production.
PS. Tony, if you’re reading, i still hate you.

And what’s wrong with that?, you ol’ I go grocery shopping on my lunch breaks with my good friend Chad at Whole Foods ass nigga.
December 7th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I think the blog attention Wiz gets may be a gift and a curse. A gift as in, he gets the exposure needed in the internet world but a curse cuz too much of it may affect record sales. I personally didn’t know Deal or no deal was an Album. I always thought it was another mixtape. When you give away a lot of free music and yopu are always on the internet, fans don’t know the difference. Eveything should be done in moderation.
He is one of the best if not the best of the new comers this year. Space it out a little ( e.g Kanye west)
December 7th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Hell Rells album was pretty brolic. There was a gutter consistency throughout.

I’m inclined to agree.
So since we’re just talking about “grittiness”, Warriorz wins. That shit had Ante Up and Cold as Ice on it for Christ’s sake.

“.. I need a couple birds, get a broad, have ‘em sent up
Call my bird, get my broad have her sent up (Please)
Call my niggaz, call my squad, have ‘em sent up (Please)
I see a town I’m likin’
See some niggas getting money in a town I like it
I run up on them with the pound and light it
Like it’s my block now, all right kid?
He understood me quite clear
Then that thing banged out, ranged out the side of his right ear
And I got back to my business, back to my bitches
Back to the kitchen, that pyrex vision
Pot, I let that white stuff sit in
Get hard, get rock, get to the block and pitchin’
Yeah I’m sorry but this is how I’m livin
And this is how I’m getting, fuck how I get it
AYE!..”

Dip Immunity was a hard album, but its a colourful bright album at the same time…
December 7th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
You wouldn’t bust your gat wit me
If you never sat wit me
Lit up a sack wit me
Or hustle some crack wit me
Came through the cipher bow down and spat wit me
Hopped up the truck and gave niggas daps wit me
You never laugh wit me
Never went half wit me
Never been through the struggle never felt the wrath wit me
Never slept on the same floor
or Hit the same whore
Ran up in the same store
All with the same four

does anyone else find the word ‘fan’ offensive, if you just like someones music… Isnt fan short for fanatic… if any man is fanatic about another dude, he should be bitched slapped and shot in the gut.

So, so far we have:
Warriorz
We Are The Streets
Get Rich or Die Tryin’
Diplomatic Immunity 1
Thoughts of a Predicate Felon
Hell Rell’s first LP
It’s a toss btw MOP and LOX IMO….but i’d give the nod to the Lox (II) out of stannery.
December 7th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Does Uncle Murda last mixtape qualify in this “hardest LP” debate?
Cause that shit was 10x more gutter than WATS, sorry, it just was.
December 7th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Beezy was mad gassed when the head partner at his firm invited him to Thanksgiving dinner. Little did he know he’d be setting the table and serving green bean caserole.
December 7th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
maybe i misunderstand “hard” or “gritty”… is that just where the MC just reals rap mad and loud and raspy and screaming out loud? … i was thinking gritty or hard in terms of the overall feel and sound of the song and music itself, but it seems im wrong here …
December 7th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
My niggas hustle from first to first
Twelve months of the year
Gun on your waist
Blunt in your ear
Pack in your sock,
Crate at the top of the block
With a fiend watchin’ for narcs ’til the shit get dark
December 7th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Nobody write hustle raps like Jeezy…Everything that man say is relevant in the street..
December 7th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
I don’t mean the street thats featured and spoken about in rap music
I’m talking bout the hood hood, not tha rap hood

Talk about a business man. Diddy grossed an average of $10,000 of sales per minute on his recent visit to the Home Shopping Network where he sold out of his fragrance collections I Am King and Unforgivable Men and Women in a total of 40 minutes. The sell out was a record for the Home Shopping Network where over 5,600 units were sold at an average price of $68 for a gross of over $400,00o in sales. After this success you can be sure the the Home Shopping Network will be the new go-to spot for celebrities pushing their products. Word on the street is Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine might make an appearance to push their Beats by Dre line including the headphones and the HP Envy.
This nig is the all time paper gangsta!

if you know Kiss, I never been a brotha to front
I be in LA wearin any colors I want

Kiss didn’t even need the other 14 bars after those two.

^^
But that’s the thing, for the most part, I don’t think Diplomats Vol.1 is gritty from a sonic standpoint. The lyrics are, but the beats are soulful hip-pop, not gutter.
