The Gawddess.

that song isn’t completely horrible, but wtf is going on in that video? they should’ve just cut out all the nonsense and let nikki do her beyonce impression while crawling in the jungle, no need to subject me to watching her contort her face like a retard.

good to see that those bonebreaking niggas from ABDC finally got some work lol

Am I wrong for watching the video without the volume on…

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was more suspect slang ninjas be throwing around. Again, no shots.

Yea…the video is od wild. Flexxing must be the new shit to do in music videos. lolz She’s mad pretty though. yeesh

Jeebus…

Dat ass man,gotta a feelin it’s fake.=/

YES YES YES

an to answer that question …theirs… def jam is not gonna have that “overview” meeting. that is the “homies” studio an the ‘homie’ doin the ‘half ass’ mastering (aka playin with the mixing tools calling it mastering). when i listened to Youngstown Heist on the desktop wit headphones an its sounded soo distorted an sloppy… an let me not get started on the system in the ride…

that first 12 seconds built me up like awwwww shyt then that drop an it sounded like whoever loaded the beat up on the protools just put everthing at yellow level… no balancing of the samples, kicks, snares…nothin… just load that bitch an rap.

an YES the guest… well on that song i was like WTF… its a storytellin track but again that damn beat that i wanted to be on some shaky dog type attention grabber just ate everyones vocals an when i would catch a part i was who the hell is this non rappin mutha

anyway i understand they saving cost by possible gettin the low budget MIXING not MASTERING (cause fuck dat they got maybe 4 of the songs fully mastered) but damn get lil john john from down the street to do it or everyone keep they ass in the studio an get that shyt right. ghost shyt at least sounds balanced.

meh…recession i guess

Word Youngstown Heist is not a storytellin beat. I wanted some Guillotine type shit. I did like Trife’s veres though

it can be a PERFECT storytellin beat A) if they got the beat right… B) if ghost would of took the joint like he did for shaky dog…

hell the sample alone by its self with simple tweaks can be raw (1:37-1:57)

shaky dog had the same feel… same feel playa. the beat was not worked right an simply drowned everyone… my own opinion cause i enjoy ghost an trust me that 12 seconds i was amp’d for some serious shyt…

Wack except for the pink Lambo, her butt looking big (not sure if cuz of butt pads) and the bizarre double jointed dude…

That Wu Massacre tape just sounded half-assed. And do one of them have beef with GZA? I understand why Ghost might not want RZA on it. And Ghost seems to be putting out mixtapes as albums Mo Fish, Big Doe Rehab…Great Wizardry or whatever it was called was solid for what it was.

And LOL at the internet going nuts about Dre and Jay-Z. It’s an April Fool’s joke. The first official track from Detox on April 1st.

How exactly do you put butt pads in a bikini tho?that’s a fine assumption fully dressed but swimwear?

If that’s her real butt, than Good Googly Moogly.

And can’t believe Erikah Badu (sp). Da Illuminati must have driven her nuts like they did Mariah. Daps to Jigga.

eh Badu knew damn well what she doin.

i skimmed through that Nicki video. on mute. i’ll give her a listen when she stops makin stupid ass faces. bitch is low-tier, ya’ll can have her

just got my tix, hype to see B.o.B. in May. kinda meh about Lupe

If nicki was a normal black girl on the street I’d def find her attractive,all the wigs and costumes are a no for me.

jesus
