Are you tripping? Rick Ross desprate?

Jadakiss/Busta sneaking on the radio like he don't belong?

French Montana having a moment?

The shit is stupid..

Desperate benefactors, people whoa are making light of their situations of where they stand in the industry. All of those make sense, except for maybe Ross cause he is relevant. (EDIT: They're probably referring to the Officer Ricky debacle, in which case yeah he made the most of that).

Jada and Busta sneak onto the radio even though their archetype of rapper is long forgotten in the mainstream and others of their breed have died out. Benefactors too to a degree.

Don't know much about French Montana, but his moment could end and I wouldn't even notice.

Seems fairly accurate.

Shit if you say it like that none of them but Diddy and Soulja/Lil B make sense.. Jeezy don't, Ross don't

Jada and Busta don't sneak onto the radio.. they get on the radio because they spit.

Seems fairly like an Onion article..

Busta has spit the same verse on the last 17 remixes. It was pretty hot the first 10 times. Now I'm kinda waiting on more.

I'm with BlackAce on this one. That Spin image is pretty awful. P.O.S. is a hipster rap hold out, listed along side The Cool Kids? Hahah, yea, okay. Art-Damaged MCs? What the fuck does that even mean and why does it have Danny Brown listed along side Das Racist? Why is Das Racist on this again?

Brown toured with Das Racist and both are big fans of each other. They have also shared studio time, and are basically spiritually affiliated.

So going through RJD2's work. Man, I love his instrumentals on Magnificent City. All For U

I tried listening to the actual album (Aceyalone's) but I feel like he just got in the way.

lol @ guys who think it's still 1993.

I love those guys, but if it were still 93 then I wouldnt be able to have the new iphone.

I love deadringer but I haven't really touched his other stuff. I think I might need to.

Edit: eff off with the false humility, sid. I doubt half of us would even dare step to the mic. You're good but I just don't feel the Second track.

Shits hotttttt... I actually like the second track more, beats really really good. You make the beats yourself (if so, what did you use to make them?)

Yeah both of these are beats I made. First was made with with Reason, the second was cobbled together a few years back with ejay and logic (I think, its been a while)

I actually think I might rerecord all the vocals on the first song, im still trying to gauge how I feel about how they came out
 
Oh man, heard the g-funk remix of Let Me Ride today. Dayum, I remember hearing a tad of it ages ago during some VH1 behind the music special, but never could find the song.
 
Rapper's Who've Sold Their Soul
Lupe Fiasco
Jay Electronica

Hits hard...Wonder where Cudi would fall under. He's not in the diagram from what I see. Maybe a Rappers Who Need To Go Back To Using Drugs

If it had to be one on there, I would say Cudi would fall under the Having Their Moments category.

Oh, no, I was fooling around. Since it's SPIN magazine and my username shortened is "spin", I made it sound as if you were talking about me.

Well if it makes you feel better I trust your taste more than SPIN mag and you like Sonic for Godsake...
 
Never thought I'd side with Ken on anything, but Section 80 is definitely a better album than WTT IMO.


oh, Watch the throne? The first week I heard the album I thought it was fantastic, then the more I heard it the more I realized how it's just fluff bullshit that shouldn't be heard just once in a while. One can only hear 2 people rap about how rich and amazing their lives are for so long before puking

Section 80 was great. WTT was a missed opportunity. Such a lazy effort.

My business partner from BK blacked on me for saying this Saturday night... but it is the truth. Jay doesn't have "it" anymore.. He was out rapped by Ye in a number of songs..

Should have been TI and Ye..

Shots fired.

So yeah, the Magnificent City Instrumentals just jumped really high on my all-time favorite albums. I wonder if there's a rapper that can do the beats justice.

Here & Now (Ignore the video)

Jay getting outshined on a verse has been a common occurrence for some time now

They don't have much to rap about.. I can't be mad at them for that. Ye could never claim the streets and Jay gets bitch slapped by Russian billionaires

Jay can still drop heat from time to time.. and getting outshined on song ain't shameful.. but getting outshined by Ye, for an entire album is..

Lift Off was a prime example of how far Jay has fallen. I know it was only like 6 bars, but...it was a painful 6 bars.

what album is better?

Action Bronson & Statik Selektah - Well Done.
Raekwon- Shaolin vs Wu-Tang
Cunninlynguists- Oneirology
Beastie Boys- Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2
Tyler, The Creator- Goblin
Evidence- Cats & Dogs
Black Milk & Danny Brown- Black & Brown

Albums that still need to come out that will be better:

The Roots- Undun
Common- The Dreamer, The Believer

Interesting, I feel the exact way about Section80.

But someone liking Section80 over WTT seems pretty tangible to me. I like WTT (it's in running for my AOTY alongside Section80) but part of my disappointment was it wasn't the album I wanted, it was the watered down version. The watering down included the inclusion of N****s in Paris and Illest Motherfucker Alive, the song of the year, which is great and all, but I wanted to hear that WTT 1.0 stuff.

I know WTT is good when I have to forcibly stop myself from listening to it so I don't kill it for myself.

Oh god yes, probably one of the worst Jay verses ever.
