July 12, 200521 yr it was a struggle to catch onto his style, his flow is so sporatic and seemingly disjointed on the surface, but it hits parts of the beats that dont even exist and brings that to surface as opposed to rhyming on the end beat of every bar and emphasizing it, like the Beastie Boys. They've had the same damn flow for 20 years and nobody is catching onto this. 1 raps most of the line, then the line ends with all 3 screaming the last word. It's annoying as hell.
July 12, 200521 yr yea they are legends, i agree that they were a neccessary step in the growth of rap. THey took rap to suburbia, which in turn gave hiphop the much needed money to really take off. Of course, this also enabled very very baaaaddddd rappers to get signed etc etc, but hey, its a war of attrition, this world of music searching
July 12, 200521 yr You know who has surprised me though...The Clipse They have the ultimate hookup in having the Neptunes as friends (go back to earlier days in Virginia- hometown heros!), so all their beats are gonna be catchy and innovative, however even though i was very wary of an all-Neptunes produced album, considering i was expecting that would be the only thing going for it, Lord Willin turned out to be very good indeed!
July 12, 200521 yr not a big fan of the Clipse.. but the Neptunes are bananas!! I think they have a very distinguished sound.. you can always tell when they produced something...
July 13, 200521 yr i met Chad Hugo (the "other guy" of the neptunes) in an airport once, that was kinda cool
July 14, 200521 yr kanye, hmmmmm, he is one clever guy but his songs are over played!!! I cant stress the torture and its frustrating vibe!
July 15, 200521 yr well i mean, i guess its a good sign that he's getting airplay and that people seem to be yearning for better music on hiphop radio too much trash otherwise
July 15, 200521 yr the real shame is that not enough people know true hiphop.. and all they do know is JaRule and Lil'Jon as hiphop.. :disappointed:
July 15, 200521 yr i just get mad that the Lil Johns and JaRules are the reasons people hate rap, because most people (that i know, anyways) are very quick to make judgements about genres of music just from those they see all over MTV and on crappy radio
July 15, 200521 yr and no, dizzee rascal is not hiphop, neither is The Streets i dunno what they are...weird, entertaining at times
July 15, 200521 yr qn5? cant say i have check'em out... one of the dudes there (tonedeff), he and I dated in high school!! lol he's been rhyming since he was like 9 yrs old... he's good!! They are on their own label co-signed with another indie label.. but they're a good bunch. Havent seen Tone since 1994... but I like to promote good music, you know what I mean? http://www.qn5.com/
July 15, 200521 yr all this talk of rap reminds me, i am still the reigning freestyle chamption of my beach week house. sweet. irony there? I'm a blonde white prep school kid living in the former capital of the Confederacy....yea i dunno what happened to me, all my friends like country and classic rock- i took the road less traveled, and it has made all the difference :lol:
July 15, 200521 yr see, im not too sure about eminem's latest effort...not a real big fan of any of the new stuff marshall mathers LP= classic, eminem show, also had a few good tunes he needs to pick something other than a "zany make fun of celebs" type single especially something he doesnt produce :confused: when he's with Dre on the beats, he's unstoppable (or if hes pissed at another rapper- see mixtapes vs. Benzino)
July 15, 200521 yr HEEEEEY i liked "Ass like that" the music video is hilarious specially with triumph the insult dog I like his "i dont give a fuck" attitude :D
