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

Com looks like he’s been hitting the acting classes hardbody. Hope that works out for him.

Whoever thinks that Encore is a classic needs to be drowned in a tub of Precious’ dirty bath water.

No shots.

I’d have to assume he’s talking about Infinite. Nobody liked Encore.

aiight common. get dat…lol@ nets though.

Not Encore, some backpack Stans think Infinite is the greatest thing to ever be released

Oh, my fault. Infinite was pretty good, I wouldn’t label it a classic though.

I think that Relapse 2 will be Em’s best LP ever. Seeing his production finally switch up is gonna be a breath of fresh air for him. I can’t wait to see what he does with those Just Blaze and Alchemist beats.

^Is he going to stop rapping about dumb shit?

Edit: Yo Busta Rhymes has a better catalog than Em. I’m cycling through my Itunes right now and looking at everyones albums (that i have anyway) and yea Busta has a better catalog.

Big Bang
When Disaster strikes
Extinction Level Event
Genesis
The Coming

Now thats not even all his albums just the ones I got lol. I could seriously make a case for him.

TI does too

Urban Legend
King
Paper Trail
Im serious
Trap Muzik

I mean, Jay has the best catalag. Hands down. Nas is my nigga but Jay got him as far as catalog. Imo Dmx and Em arent even in the discussion if we talking catalogs. Hell Ghostface has them beat. Kanye too…i could go on for a minute.

Its Funny hearing Niggas blame the death of the East Coast on 50 cent.

Meh. Em may rap about dumb shit, but as long as he’s bringing good flow and rhymes, I don’t care. Dude can rap about how mommy was a bad mommy until he’s 90.

Hmmmmmmmm,I think Redman gets overlooked as far as catalogs are concerned:

Whut Thee Album
Dare Iz A Darkside
Muddy Waters
Doc’s Da Name 2000
Blackout
Blackout 2
Red Gone Wild

I haven’t heard Malpractice and that Def Squad album El Nino,so I can’t comment on those.Anyways,To me he always dropped,4 or 5 star albums.Nothing below that imo.Im trying to think who else has a nice catalog…

Ice Cube:
Amerikkka’z Most Wanted
Death Certificate
The Predator(not on AMW or DC level tho)
Laugh Now Cry Later
Raw Footage

*Haven’t heard Lethal Injection,and War&Peace

I might add DJ Quik but im still haven’t heard all of his albums yet.Just Way 2 Fonky and that joint he did with Kurupt.Both were ill.Maybe Poor Righteous Teachers too.Wise Intelligent is nasty with it

Thats my problem with em he starts to sound stupid and wack i mean look at the song big meanie. That shit was appalling I’d rather wake up next to Missy Elliot and Harriet Tubman than hear that shit again.

It’s sad but the bonus disc that came with Encore(only had like 3 or 4 songs i think) crapped all over Encore.That felt more like a complete Encore did.

Well, yeah. There are the stupid, STUPID parts in his songs (or stupid entire songs), but when he brings it it’s worth the wait.

Kanye’s catalog is extremely slept on. Stannery aside, the fact that he produced all of his own shit is just more evidence that he’s a beast. How many great rapper producers have there been ever? I’m not talking about people who had their shit ghostwritten either (Diddy, Pete Rock, etc.).

Plus, I’m convinced that Yeezy’s new album is goonna be crazy based on some of the comments he’s been making lately on his website:
*
“Don?t let the psychiatrists give you their drugs because it slows down your wings. Society and public opinion can beat the wings off of angels. When god sees they can?t take it anymore he brings them back home.During this new album process sometimes I turn the music up and drink and cry. When something sounds so amazing and ground breaking I?m reminded of why I live.”
*

After shit like that, I’m certain that Ye is about to come back on some Return of the Jedi shit and tear the game down, son.

50’s game plan did a lot to hurt NY as a whole. He was sitting on top of the world after Get Rich and instead of bringing NY together, he decided to base his formula on taking shots at people. He still hasn’t reached out to a single NY artist to appear on his albums unless you count Mary J singing a hook on Curtis. Hell, Curtis was the first time that a non-Interscope artist was on one of his albums, period. Instead of boosting NY, he decided to take shots at Ja, Nas, Cam, Jadakiss, Diddy, Fat Joe, etc. He was clearly out for self, he didn’t give a fuck about NY.

Yeezy up on dat Scientology?

Rashid HAdee is a SUPER slept on producer/rapper imo.

J Slikk made this beat but Rashid get it in too.

That track is hard body

Cosign Clifford Harris’ catalog being bananas, if you overlook T.I. v. T.I.P.

KING was a fuckin classic, I can play that 24/7, Chicken N Beer too. As for Kanyetutha I’ll rock wit CD and alot of LR for sure. Graduation was too much ego/boasting when compared to the first two. That shit was a 180 especially since there were no conscious tracks i.e. All Falls Down, Diamonds, Crack Muzik. Good Morning, Can’t Tell Me Nothing, and I Wonder is my shit tough I skip the rest too much. I didn’t like the leftovers either the old Bittersweet with the sampled voice>>>>>>>>>>> it’s like he tried to make a hood album and it worked mad ziggans became fans
