The Rap Thread: News, Reviews, Rants, Opinions Vol 7. Death to Swizz Beats!

Fools down here think pushing cold drugs is the greatest thing to do . I mean who puts these niggas on these niggas weedmen have business cards and wholesale warehouses or something. Cuz niggas act like slanging bricks is the equivalent to going to Sams Club buy some candy and sell that shit at school.

You pull that side hustle too?! But me and my niggas re-up at BJ’s. :arazz:

Seems like you New York niggas eating off that Snack Game money. I might have to go up north and show you boys how to work that block. Introduce some Sour Airheads and strawberry milk duds to the fiends.

Hmmmm,maybe it’s me but Lady Luck is looking finer than a mutha nowadays:

I always thought she was nice on the mic tho.

I pump premium into my car because the gas cap says “PREMIUM ONLY”.

I tried to use the regular shit one time and it wasn’t pretty.

lol the first chick sound like murda mook.

as wack as Gucci is…Lemonade has been playing in my whip the whole weekend.

Vibe is doing a GOAT Hip Hop Producer tourney. Cast your Votes.

The Elite 8 should be:

Homegrown Sound = Dr. Dre vs. Manny Fresh

Soul Sample = Just Blaze/Kanye vs. J. Dilla

Mass Appeal = Neptunes/Puffy and the Hitmen vs. Timbaland

Boom Bap = Preemo vs. RZA

It’s reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hard to call that Elite 8 though, because a lot of the seeding is fucked. If the seeding were different, my final 4 would most likely be Just Blaze, Dilla, RZA and (undecided).

Gears up for incoming thread squabbles

IMO gucci isn’t wack. niggas look at the lyrics and label him but IMO if the music is hot then its hot. its not about any one thing but about a number of factors that come together to make a hot song or a hot tape and gucci has that formula. again, IMHO.

wb sent out a letter telling sites not to put any of his mixtapes up and to remove all mixtapes that have of him so i can’t link you to any decent ones but i could make a folder of say…10 dope gucci songs if you’re interested. i have a lot of dj free stuff from so icey…

i’m having trouble finding the page. i’m using firefox is anybody else having trouble finding a direct link??

edit
guess you have to use internet explorer.

my reaction:

-nigga please at bangladesh. just because 150 netcees and emcees spit over the beat doesn’t make it the greatest beat of this era. dude is ok but when he comes up with one hot beat he is stuck on that beat for the next 6 songs he drops…either that or he sells the same beat just altered slightly to the next few artists that want tracks from him.
what part of the game is that?? i understand business is business but when you want to brag and name drop and down the next nigga (like he did in the article) then creativity and innovation goes to the forefront and the man is just not that creative IMHO. he lacks longevity in the game IMO to be saying the things that he’s saying.
a milli was dope to me ONLY because the shit actually made the radio but i’ve heard way better and more experimental shit on a diplomats mixtape. it wasn’t mind blowing. only reason white kids in iowa heard it is because wayne got the label to push it no matter what.

-bangladesh does deserve to be in mass appeal and not boom bap. who the fuck decided boom bap for him??

-bangladesh is bullshitting tho. i promise you i’ve heard his other shit and nobody was pushing it. was it dope? yeah but the ppl dem wasn’t requesting it like that. again his claim to fame is a milli, really (and yes i know about no drama and don’t make and the song 8 ball/mjg had with lloyd and the shit on the missy album).

i’ll post more in a sec.

I like the fact that Curren$y worked that beat in Smokee Robinson. Now I dont have to listen to Gucci.

9th over organized noise? Rly? The listening wasnt that hot…ok it was but still organized noise are super legends. Diamond D got robbed also

curren$y is mad boring plus that niggas voice…he sounds extra remedial. from the short bus to the studio.
i’d rather watch butterflies come out of cocoons on youtube than to listen to an entire curren$y tape. i tried. more than once…but that nigga is only good for a hot 16 on a wayne tape. its too bad that he’s not with ym.

you must have to smoke a ton of weed to get into his music or something.

Curren$y > Wacka, OJ, and all of their weed carriers lives

Leaving Young Money was one of the best decisions he’s ever made. Young Money used to consist of just him and Mack Maine. Since he bounced, he’s hooked up with Dame, dropped a dope album and a slew of dope mixtapes and appeared on the XXL Freshmen cover. What has Mack Maine done since then? Been on a Birdman song and shared an album with Tyga, Lil Twist and Lil Chuckie.

Curren$y is winning right now, fuck a Young Money.

but i’m not a ym fan…i just think that curren$y/mack maine/gutta x2/wayne on the same track is dope. any of them by themselves, not so much. i’m a fan of group efforts rather than solo acts, really. thats another topic tho.

but currensy is extra boring. its like listening to the old dude in wonder years read the phone book. maybe if he used whoo kid drops or something to make the shit more exciting. throw a bomb on a track to wake a nigga up.

oj <<<

but its not about so icey, ym or anything like that, so…

The joint Bangladesh did with MIA was sick too. He’s made more than a few bangers. He’s not on my top anything list, honestly… but I respect dude.

Oh… and Curren$y is ridiculous. LOL @ not liking Curren$y, but bumping nonsense.

Spitta > damn near everyone rapping right now.

Yeah his voice is kinda slow… but his bars are clever as shit. Nobody on the short bus rapping like him.

new eminem single is fire. (page 100 bitches!)

Curren$y isn’t boring at all, he has a slew of hype songs under his belt:

[media=youtube]EU7P8r1s5kc"[/media] <---------The Spring/Summer trunk anthem

does anybody have a direct link to the other categories (not homegrown) or the older matchups? my browser isn’t working properly or something.

i’m trying to hear the beats they used to represent alchemist.
