“My queen used to milkshake to lead y’all to my slaughterhouses”-Nas

Nah, B. She used her milkshake to drain all of your bank accounts.

Smarten up, Gnoz.

In other news, Game’s new single is FLAMES!

This shit sounds kinda like vintage Neptunes, Pharrell’s corpse might be rising again.

beat is whatever but Game went in.

“Game keeps it hood like weaves and Top Ramen”.

Shit sounds avg to me. And I’m a Neptunes fan. Usher and the 'tunes need to come back on top since they both fell. Like when Neptunes prod.= Auto-Success. They need to pull a 2001

Honestly, I’ve learned to let go of the old Neptunes sound. It’s nice to hear it once in awhile, but we have to accept that they’ve changed. Kanye switched his shit up and so did Timbo. People grow and want to try new shit and we just have to deal with it. Hell, oftentimes cats on here criticize producers like 9th Wonder and Preemo for NOT switching their style up. I remember debating 9th’s greatness to someone and their response was,“He doesn’t really switch up his drums.”

So fucking what?

If the shit is hot, it’s hot. Neptunes used to make beats with like 70 layers to them and now they’ve turned toward a lighter sound. The dream is over people, Pharrell and Chad have moved on. Don’t even try to use the “Pharrell is doing the beats without Chad” excuse for why they sound different either. Just let it rest.

I used to feel the same way about Dipset reuniting for DI 3, but then I realized that even if it does happen, it’s really not gonna be the same. The Big 3 are much older and though Juelz has gotten much more talented over time, Killa and Dusty Braids are sounding sickly and dehydrated over beats lately. Add to that the fact that ArabMuzik and Skitzo would most likely do all of the production and you’ve got yourself an album of repetitive beats with weathered rappers spitting over them.

Hold onto the memories, my dudes.

Life goes on (No 2Pac).

Nah son its just… that shit aint hot. When I was loading it I was hyped but the song lyrics + prod. wasn’t up to par. Expectations too high? Maybe but besides the hook I am not live with this

Arabmuzik>>>> always imo

Really? I thought the hook was the worst part. I wasn’t just talking about this song though, it seems like everything the Neptunes come out with nowadays gets over-criticized because it doesn’t sound like their 03 shit.

game be tryin to hard, that new track sound like some boo-boo serious jones would put out.

edit: after listening to the old song, that shit DO sound like some serious jones lmao

@ SRKev

Yeah , I’ve learned to let go of the old neptunes sound, but still think they could have done something wayyy better then this

Jesus Christ…

and game hasnt been as good since he left g-unit

its like using spoiled fruit to try and make a good smoothy =/

Game track is corny…but, what else to expect from a cornball?

Rap is so boring nowadays…

you guys do realize nas is paying this $250K in BACKPAY, right? i mean, yeah the original judge fucked him over with the $50K/month shit, but nas has only his self to blame for falling behind on that shit.

I actually liked Seeing Sounds ALOT. IDK if any of you did. It was good music

oh yeah and lol @ niggas just now realizing that game is wack. that shit was obvious when joey lifted the nigga’s skirt and he responded with a 10 minute autobiography.

Damn right, all songs I hear now all sound the same… I need to pick a new genre of music… I should start looking right nowLicks lips like LL Cool J No Homo.

Yeah, I been saying Game is wack since 03. I don’t see how dude ever lasted past one album.

I think Game is aight. Documentary was fire and Doctors Advocate was solid at worst. Big Dreams is still my shit though. That symphony goes hard.

Yea…I never liked Game tbh either…he just comes off so fake and corny. Plus the name dropping…take their(rappers he name drops) dicks outta your mouth. Plus all that “blood” shit is wack…you’re not hard nigga. Sit the fuck down with those ferngully tats.

@Bulldancer: All of it is just boring. I mean, I got like maybe 10 albums on the itunes that are 2005+ shit is sad.

Edit: Its probably not even 10…more like 6 or 7.

Documentary wasn’t fire.

Documentary - “And Dr. Dre said that 50 Cent told me to do it like Jay-Z… Watching Nas from the crowd waiting for Kool Moe Dee… Stevie Wonder put the ribon in the sky, Dr. Dre said let me ride… And Snoop bouncing 6-4’s back in LA, while Dr. Dre and 50 Cent rocking diamonds like Kanye”

^
:rofl:

The name dropping does get a little crazy, but his second album is his best. The production, rhymes and track sequencing are done very well. I know people are gonna hate on him, but I really liked Doctor’s Advocate. His third album was incredibly forgettable though, there’s no denying that.

On another note, did y’all hear the new Shyne song? Jesus tapdancing Christ is that shit horrible!

What happened to his voice, B?

Shyne sound like Lloyd Banks rapping from his death bed.:sad:

Sounds alot like Ricky Rawse the Bawse, Shyne just needs to rap like himself and get off the bandwagon… he probably develop throat problems in prison:wink: all homo intended… probably came out gay like DMX(read some of them lyrics lol)
