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

Naw, Budden line still stands…the newer kids on the block remember MJ getting crossed more than his performances…and often sum up his career to ‘the shot’ plus offensive foul that Byron Russell is STILL salty over

  • :bluu:

Before she started MJing herself. Hell, the chick that played her in Notorious (3LW chick) was phatter than Kim ever was (naturally)

Elle’s first tape.

I really don’t have words for this story. :shake: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/birdman-wants-wager-5-million-super-bowl-212133798.html

Speaking of British.
UK rapper Mike Skinner as The Streets
first song from his debut album. Once you get past the accent it’s really good imo.
[media=youtube]vd_Av5L2qfo[/media]

Too bad he stopped performing as The Streets for good in 2011.

His production isn’t what we would classify as “hip-hop”, he’s more classified as “garage” in terms of his sound. Not “guh-rahhj”. “gairr-ij”, as the Brits say

A lot of actors, musicians and athletes have gambling problems. Most likely there are people putting more money than that on the line, but they’re just not bragging about it.

My favorite story was when Floyd Mayweather got on youtube and bragged about how much cash he had, and then he got robbed of $7 million in jewelry that same night.

The thing isnt that people are pushing Lil Kim to the side, its Lil Kim didnt handle the situation like a VETERAN. Like the VETERAN she is. Ol girl doesnt act like it. I see girls retweeting her lil tweets on my twitter and she cant even get a 5 song ep out, I’m like yo…Kim…this is getting serious. You wanna come back, you bout 36-37 now…time is of the essence, and it dont seem like she hungry. So people dont give a fuck. ANd she dont even sound the same. So regardless of if Nicki is pop or what have you, shes hot right now and shes stacking her chips, while Kim looking like an jealous old head who cant get it together. Smh. Get Money will FOREVER be my shit.

But, anyway…fuck both them bitches. As a resident Kanye fanboy I have to pump Azealia Banks…who ironically enough went to the same school as Nicki Minaj. She gaining steam now that she just got signed to Universal OUT THE BLUE…but girl is dead nice. She gives you a UK Grime/Indie Hip Hop/2-step feel. McLyte meets Missy Elliot? Kanye was hyping her up when he DJed on NYE and now shes buzzing like crazy around NY.

3/5 jersey!

Nah, I’m not giving you Kim and Fox. We all know Biggie wrote her rawest lines. And I’m almost willing to believe whoever she was affiliated with during whatever album she was making helped her on them, because Naked Truth sounds an awful lot like Maino. I’m just sayin.

Lauryn is the rawest to me, just in her delivery.

[media=youtube]GE-3YQkhxXs[/media]
WHOAAAAAAAAAA. Female GOAT.

I forgot all about Rah Digga, what about Ms Jade?

ms. jade was nasty on the mic…but she was like a blip for whatever reason.

and really, kim’s voice/style has remained consistent throughout which makes me think that she writes her own shit.

She was kinda butchy. Nobody really wanna look at that. But she still shitted for this
[media=youtube]LGWuurB0rUY[/media]

naaaaaah…them nosejobs did something to her pitch, and her delivery has been on the decline:

1995
[media=youtube]J5t4efgR51M[/media]
deep, husky, raw, sexy

now
[media=youtube]Dj40ANA0TEI[/media]

Lol. What the fuck bro. She doing the same shit she getting on Nicki for. “I wanna see your slinky. Then maybe you’ll see my pinky.”

dies casts phoenix down dies again

I’m sorry I think Kim’s moment has passed. Nicki’s raps arent lyrically the deepest but her delivery and total package got Kim. And she like Budden with the raps that are relevant to pop culture/twitter etc…
[media=youtube]2r-paWbKnl8[/media]

^ Real talk, did Lil Kim even have her own style?

She rapped like a female biggie smalls…

I LOATHE nicki minaj but I can cosign on most of everything in that post…

biggie taught her how to rap, why wouldn’t she rap like him?

so what, you’d rather her drop subliminals like pussy clot drake? or nicki? or jay? or damn near every other rapper that beefs with another rapper post takeover?

personally, i can’t stand that subliminal shit.

so its ok for jay or nas to drop at their age but not kim? double standard.

if pusha drops a mixtape tomorrow, niggas will post about it. pusha is like 38-42 at least. jay electronica is around the same age.

and what difference does it make in the first place? these young niggas not doing anything special AT ALL.

lets see we got ofwgka acting weird as fuck for the sake of being weird, we have soulja tsung x copying everybody with a buzz, wayne’s running around with snowboarding boots in 75 degree LA, etc. etc. niggas is lost.

and so what if kim couldn’t get an EP out.

do ppl realize that all but one of her albums is plat and the last album that dropped in like 05 or so is gold?

she’s good.

neither does nicki on any given track. one min she’s channeling her inner pee wee herman, the next she’s british…

nigga please.

this bitch nicki is lost leading a lost generation of lost females that don’t understand, comprehend or whatever GOOD music. the shit they listen to is noise.

i sound mad old right now but shit like:

i’m a star. sheriff badge.
you’se a stupid HOW
extending words for like 234234 bars
random singing off key in the middle of songs

all that shit is trash. ALL of it.

EH.

right and that means absolutely nothing because times change and financial situations shift.

soulja boy probably made more money off of ringtones and shows than rakim made his whole career off of albums and shows, but…

HOW.

nicki’s core style is lil kim’s.

shit’s like saying jr writer is better than cam.

???

this is like blasphemy IMO.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Now I’m hearing Baby wants to bet money on Mayweather for his fight with Manny. I think it’s 10 mill. 15 million could definitely help out a school district.

You niggas still talking about these broads?

Also no MC lyte? Shit top 5 list

What about da brat (at tat tat)?
