The Rap Thread: News, Reviews, Rants & Opinions: Volume 9 - Yes, we know "Hip Hop"

To this day no one has question why these AOL Betas had “volumes” attached to them…LOL

I respect them more cause its just party music that drunk chicks will spazz out to…coming from a DJ aspect, they are fine with me. (As is anyone else who makes music to “DANCE” to).

Then you get the fake azz B-Boys who try to battle…then I have to get on the mic and say, “You break my shit, we are going to have a problem”

tbh good music isn’t cohesive and young money is just wayne and some niggas. its hard to even consider nicki minaj and drake as “members” when there (seemingly) is no real crew.

also niggas wasn’t tryna hear pusha get into this at all. at least i wasn’t. shit is stupid to me. i could easily see how someone younger could see it as some old niggas mad that they aren’t at the forefront trying to get at someone “new” just to get a buzz.

i barely want to hear drake vs common but if it is to be then let it just be those two. i’m not trying to hear anybody else go at anybody else from those two camps.

dunno. i want beef in hip hop but i want some hard and witty shit. and GOOD is full of niggas that nobody cares about and its not even a real label or crew afaik and kanye isn’t pushing any one of those niggas, really, and YM is full of a bunch of nobody’s from the ages of 12-25 or so, the top three being a drug addict that wears leggings, a soft ass r and b rapper and a female with tourettes.

I would respect LMFAO if they didn’t sing
they beats aren’t bad at all and they would get play even if it was more dance/trance/techno.
Listen… [media=youtube]5-oGYmShX5Q[/media]
turns into hawt fucking garbage when they sing on it.

Daft Punk doesn’t sing… well… they don’t get that gay with it…
they have 0- 10 (out of 100) skills

can we just get sandman back in reup, get reup back on board with each other and drop a new mixtape full of ORIGINAL production, please?
the reup gang should be on some slaughterhouse shit only bigger IMO.

anyway, at least this beef will hopefully get drake to rap more and stop making an album full of singles for females and hopefully get radio to wake up and play a VARIETY so those of us without vaginas can enjoy listening to the radio for more than one song every two hours.

I need Sandman to come back for realz. He went NO WHERE solo. Ol’ Lord Have Mercy like ninja…

I agree, only dude out of the G.O.O.D music camp i really like enough to purchase music from is Mos Def (Whom is Yasiin Bey now :confused: ). He’s been doing a good job distancing himself from them so far.

That beat is exactly the kind of production I like to hear. I’m a producer myself, and I’ve been doing it for a while, but I never really got into working heavily with samples/sampling. Almost everything I do is synth based. I need to spend some time working on those skills.

What I hate about sampling is well research. It takes time…that I usually don’t have.

There’re also clearance issues if you ever want to use it commercially. It’s just less of a hassle all around to do original material. But damn, some tracks are just made by a good sample.

You should have fucked him up on site. :nunchuck:

I thought LMFAO wouldnt be relevant past MIAMI BITCH. I dont think theyll be going anywhere for the next few years as long as they keep pumping out catchy party music theyll be around, like pitbull.

I’d say most women generally don’t put in the work, but some very fine ones definitely do. I remember a girl who ran track that had a ridiculous body…but talk about a let down. I was literally bored. Then there was a girly girl chick going for her masters degree. Really pretty. Shocked the hell out of me. It was freaknik to the 10th power. She was the last chick I would have expected to go X-factor. I don’t have a clue what the common denominator is though, because I sure can’t tell by looking. Wish I could.

I think “pretty girl syndrome” depends on how you even step to the girl in the first place. If you’re dead set on putting her on a pedestal, then I wouldn’t expect much out of her. If you’re letting her chase after you, and they will chase…then you can expect her to put in work when the time comes. I definitely had the girly girl chick chasing. Then again, I know some chicks will only get wild when they feel comfortable enough around you. Takes a while for the inhibitions to come off for a lot of them.

I hate fake B-boys. A while ago I was at a club, and these two cats were trying to battle to Ferrari Boyz. The DJ trying to humor them, puts on Jack the Ripper. They STOP. Then they just stand there looking at him confused.

Johnny Walker couldn’t take the bad taste out of my mouth.

I looked the first song you mentioned up, then wished I hadn’t.

That Rozewood beat is outrage. Pure outrage. So smooth and dope. :smiley:

You mean the joint with LL Cool J

They STOPPED TO THAT JOINT…

But didn’t stop to a Gucci Mane song?

Fuck life…

Did you just compare LMFAO to fucking Daft Punk? Wow… their skills aren’t even comparable… Daft Punk makes music that have funk and disco influences… LMFAO=/= the same genre music even… Daft Punk is >>>>>

Fake BBoys are hilarious because they come to battle you, top rock a bit, drop whatever one bit of power or freeze they know, and think they’re hard. Then you break out the footwork, and they’ve got this look on their face like “wtf is that shit?”

Style > Power (> Style eventually if you’re a beast doing one handed air tracks like bboy Boy or some shit).

if that was a diss track…its not very blaintant. its def iffy bout them shots.

yo legit…so far gone is a classic on multiple standpoints, that is a mixtape classic and drakes best “album”. that mixtape literally changed the game imo. mixtape game specifically…but comeback season will always be my fave mixtape.

no if your style is basic footwork and the dude comes out with an advanced power combo.

style does not=footwork, you can be a stylehead and be mostly tops ie.ynot.

also just cause your a stylehead dont mean if your better. if your footwork is basic it wont win battles. if your footwork is int and the opponent does power and adds in some int footwork…hes gonna win.

the best bboy is the one who knows all his foundation power/footwork/freezes
