@Hopp you dropped the link in the previous thread? I don’t see it. Can you post it again?
October 21st, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Definitely a STACKED album, but it just bothers me that so many artists rely on features as a crutch to move their albums or get some sort of attention, because let’s be honest here (i’m not saying he isn’t a dope MC) how many of us would even be paying to banks if it wasn’t for the association with artists like Kanye or Pusha T, Raekwon or Fab ?

@TS,
you from the Chi right?
what do you think of the recent Kanye Music? despite the fuckery.
^I think his music fall off slightly. He no longer can make a beat like “Guess Who’s Back” on his own anymore. Most of the recent beats have been over-produced and lacking real soul quality.
His rhyming really wasn’t that great to begin with. He just had punchlines, themes, and a lot of similies. He lost a lot of that to me.
His dress code:…………THE FUCK?!?!?…………………….
The art work and his cinematography skill went through the roof though. So has a lot of his visuals
I ain’t impressed with him but I’ll still listen to support artists from my city.
October 21st, 2010 at 6:53 pm
But with all of that said though, he’s still better than most of the bullshit on the radio.
October 21st, 2010 at 6:55 pm
@Hopp appreciate that.

I agree that the music aint as good, but I still like it. Maybe because everythinng else being released is so bad.

Do people really consider Jay’s albums sequels though. It’s not like he was trying to recapture a particular sound.

Wayyyyyyyyy 2 many features! That kills the ability to make a complete album… Only WU albums & The Chronic are great albums with a ton of features

Ross, Kanye, Banks all making compilations this year. soon it’ll be a category at award shows. This Banks album looks more like “Desperate For More”.

Units aren’t moving anymore and the sequels seem more a like a last ditch effort at glory. War Report 2 sold 300 copies. Do you think we’ll see a War Report 3 anytime soon??

I mean, sure, you could be right, but i don’t go into the album thinking that way. I go in thinking what a potential Banks x SP song can song like, or a Banks x Rae, or a Banks x Pusha. The idea of that is still exciting for me as a hip-hop head. I can understand why you feel the way you do, but i don’t share those sentiments. I thought TD was excellent and you didn’t. Sooo, it is what it is.

U mean Hard Knock Life Vol. 2?? Very good album, not a great album though… definitely his move to crossover into “Hip-Pop” territory… he got some crazy bangers on that album… After Reservoir Dogs, Memph Bleek had the best track on the album with that Intro…. The verse of his life!
“First gun two bullets niggaz know I do pull it
Niggaz tryin’ to kill me dog who wouldn’t?
Screw Gooden I pitch in the PJ’s
Lit off the EJ I split Dutchies with my ring finger”

In regards to Ross i’ll say he does a good job getting his features in the stu together and it sounds real. but as far as his album goes he had a little too much features and offered little variation in terms of content besides Tears of Joy.

yall shut the fuck up because this is what yall made hiphop come to, the king of no or minimum features as always been g-unit, then yall diss them for not collaborating.not to mention how many solo tracks the jay, officer ricky or any so called “good” albnms have? i am not for alot of features but don’t complain because you niggas dont know what yall want. i remember ppl saying doctors advocate was a “classic” dude had the record for features and the officer might have broken that record.this is the first time banks ever worked with all these artists so give dude a listen and then judge and so far shit is all on point

Nah.
But I’m sayin’, even before I hear the final product and check if the music is in fact good, I don’t have a problem wit’ deciding to do features.
My problem is that it seems like a solo track is no longer an option.
Aside from J. Cole and maybe 10 other rappers, pretty much no one else is having it. And it could STILL be good music, no kanye … Word to I’m Not A Star …

If a Rnb artist sings the hook, and a rapper has 3 verses, you don’t consider that a solo? I thought everyone always has…
====
does the back of the CD case say “featuring” on it?
October 21st, 2010 at 7:59 pm
I can honestly say that I’ve never complained about an artist just doing his own thing without features. When I listen to an artist, I want to hear THAT artist. The exception is 808s and Heartbreaks. I maintain that Kanye would have had a strong effort with that one if he got actual singers to sing on it, rather than moaning like a depressed bitch through a voice-box.
Guests are cool, but in small doses and if they have some thing unique to contribute, even if it’s just background vocals or adlibs

Ross lost points for that shit, so did Jay and I refuse to listen to Wayne at this point. I don’t listen to Ross albums or BP3 past the first few listens, because of all the guests. Same thing with Fabolous.

Yep. As to the second point, definitely.

When i was young we nvr dissect music this hard, either the song was hot or not. We did not discuss the marketing plans or leaks.

You can’t say that the 16 year old blueprint of Illmatic is so outdated that as to have become a bad idea. Classic albums tend to have certain things in common, Illmatic just happens to be one of the few classics that seems to have every factor. That’s why I use it as the Blueprint.

I’m still not offended. No need to keep trying though.
By my logic, Life After Death and The Chronic are classic, but they aren’t the equal of Illmatic to me. You probably could have found better examples though. Life After Death is a DOUBLE album, thus having a ton of guests is justifiable. You don’t want the listener to get bored. The Chronic is only a solo album in name; it’s mostly a showcase for Dr. Dre’s uniform production and his crew of rappers, who all happen to rap about the same awesome shit throughout.

Eh, authentic is too subjective. You don’t like Ross as an artist in general, so his songs with features are naturally going to sound forced, or unnatural to you, when in fact, with the possible exception of Jadakiss on MM3, I think every guest on Teflon Don was weaved into the fabric of the LP very well. Gucci gave an uninspiring performance, but him appearing on MC Hammer made total sense to me.

In any event, I think a better articulation of my point is that the best barometer of a classic album is classic albums that we’ve all listened to in the past. I just happen to think Illmatic is the best of those classics. One of the things that stands out about Illmatic is the lack of guests.
I think some classics are better than others. In my opinion, the best ones have fewer guests.

I rmbr been 17 getting high and listening to life after death, shit was like a nigga telling you a movie
Man we would get high and listen to the whoe fucking album, no skipped songs and that was the same with makevili, nas and jayz albums and dmx at the time. Man shit even that nore album made it in there

Fuck hip hop fans now
^^^
I agree… but probably for different reasons! 1st off the music is wack right now! Sorry but it’s the truth… There is no essence or vibe to any of this shit being released right now! None of these Ye tracks, none of these Banks tracks will are memorable… the last joint that dropped that was worthy was Exhibit C… That shows you how pitiful Hip Hop is right now, and how bad of a place it’s in right now! Niggas are overly optimistic so they forget to play devil’s advocate with reality!

There is absolutely a method to Ross’ madness. His talent lies more with putting the right people and sounds together than rapping. He’d be an excellent executive producer so long as he can understand another artists vision.
I do think he’s going to have to show another side of himself on his next album though.

The biggest problem in Hip Hop fans is the generational gap…. I’m 29, and truthfully unless a nigga is over the age of 26, 27… the odds are them niggas don’t know shit about good Hip Hop music… but it’s the fault of niggas my age and older for not teaching and giving the Hip Hop 101 to these young boys…. Until that gap between generations works itself…. it’s going to continue to be 2 radically different viewpoints and overall knowledge of the culture & artform

That’s only because all the slow bamas down there could actually keep up with that shit.
Here’s my basic theory on rappers: if I can recite your verses verbatim, with no difficulty at all, then you aren’t elite status.
When I try rap along with an early Nas/Jay/Pun/Big/Kool G Rap verse, I usually can’t stay with those rappers for one reason or the other, even though I know those verses down cold.
The rappers that are worth my time must have impeccable technique. There.

Yea, Elite rappers should have impeccable technique, but they should also say something musically profound- by that I mean that they are explaining their life experience thru their music, be it street life, real life, etc. If they can’t do that, they need to be at least ENTERTAINING. If you can’t do either one of those, GTFO.

I’ll agree to disagree from 1 standpoint… As talented as Banks is… he has yet to put out an album on the level of The Natural, at the end of the day that’s what it’s really about. How good of an album can you make? From start 2 finish … very hard to argue to that… You are right about the opportunities that both had though, I won’t even disagree with you on that…. People act like I’m stuck in the 90′s or something, and that’s not the case at all…. but I can’t put up a front, to say there are a whole bunch of Gems in the last decade, there really isn’t!

Honestly, I think THAT is the biggest difference in hip-hop now. EVERYBODY raps now, or produces, or knows someone that can. Nobody listens to music without comparison to other music or their boys n them, etc. People say STAN whenever you say you like an artist, or say something positive, and call you a hater when you give a critique that isn’t positive. Its impossible to be a fan now– niggas and kizzas dissect the music months before release, listen to leaks, watch trailers for videos, and download mixtape after mixtape until they get tired of the artist… then they throw them away.

I believe that I actually have some kinda musical talent (production wise), but I don’t have the fearlessness required to go into the game for real. So I’m content to be a fan.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I really consider myself a student of the art of rapping. So many rappers bore me because their technique is terrible. Everyone comes off as bored and uninterested in the art of putting together words, voice modulation, syllable count, etc, rhyme scheme… people are so concerned with punchlines and swag that its disgusting.
@Silk-
The Natural is dope, but Hunger For More is a very GOOD album that has aged very well. I understand what your saying, though. Music has become disposable, and it never used to be like that.

Co-sign that. Wiz is what I call vice/lifestyle music. It’s fun shit.

So by culture you mean not just hip hop music then ? ‘Cause I don’t give a fuck about no break dancing.
Hip Hop is entertainment, now. Music is entertainment. Jay Z calls himself an “entertainer”. I’m a hip hop fan, but I don’t have to live hip hop because I’m not a hip hop artist. Just like I don’t have to live basketball, but I’m a basketball fan.

So that means you like Rap music then– the entertainment aspect as you will. Thats fine, but there is a difference. I don’t know how to break dance or DJ, but I appreciate their place in my culture. I understand graffiti and raps place in that same culture. I understand the difference in lexicon, slang, word codification, and terminology. I grew up with that shit. The dress, the attitiude. Thats Hip-Hop. You don’t have to like it or be a part of it– you can just like Rap. I listen to heavy metal and alternative music, but I ain’t a rocker, ya dig?

difficult to explain…
the show revolves around white men of the 50s- early 60s….what i notice is over the seasons is the show makes an emphasis on cultural references of those times and that people back then had marriage issues, women in the workplace, teenagers sex, racism, of course. Great acting, smart writing, you gotta see it for yourself to decide if your going to like it or not.
