Truth.
Which just made the song that much worse. Shit "artist" cosigns shit song. Common was the only decent thing about it and even he couldn't save it.

You liking the tape?
I was thinking you should just do a general hip hop hits mix. Nothing region specific or style specific, just the best hip hop tracks (and/or most underappreciated tracks in your opinion) both new and old.

MotM2 is garbage, listened to it a couple of days ago.
I always go back to it 'just incase I was wrong about it' because it still doesn't sink in how a record made on the heels of MotM1 can be so awful. Fuck that record! (Though The End is pretty nice)
Mark Morrison? MARK MORRISON!? Mr 'Return of the Mac' Morrison? How the what the shit?

He also was featured on this fantastic Cassidy song a few years ago.
The entire Cassidy album (B.A.R.S.) was great but people cast off Cassidy long ago so nobody checked it out. And after it Cassidy went back to his foolishness so yeah. Diamond in the rough.

Damn I been sleeping on Mark. I still have his original album around here somewhere from when I was a kid. Might have to dig that out tomorrow for a mighty nostalgia blast!
Ha Cassidy. I used to play the shit out of I'm A Hustler then when his album came out I didn't care anymore and never listened to him again :-/

Hooks are what singers do for rappers..
Cassidy is a strong contender for most annoying rapper out there. His voice, his style, the kind of lyrics he comes up with. Just annoying as all hell. I played the hell of I'm a Hustler and Drink and 2 step, but everything else he has done is just grating. Very definition of a stereotypical, unremarkable new york rapper.
Also, don't know how his ass managed to get a first degree murder charged changed to involuntary manslaughter. He was facing life without parole and managed to get 8 months instead, fuck is that about?

Isn't he from philly?
He could be from timbuktu, doesn't change the fact he raps like every other average new york rapper out there.

Cassidy is like a c-level Jadakiss imo. Weak punchlines, annoying voice, horrible pop rap attempts, etc.
More evidence nobody listened to anything from B.A.R.S. outside of My Drink and My 2 Step. Nothing will change your mind though if you already feel that way. Cass has always been a polarized kind of rapper, he rivals Game in the number of failed singles. He's either tears shit up or everything sounds half-assed. For most of his career, more of the latter.

Stick with the singles man...the albums are harsh listens and not really worth it.
but whoever is writing her singles does a bang up job.

Arular and Kala and then stop there.
Or just listen to her singles like Wenis said. Dat Paper Planes street remix. Bun B so trill on it.

Saigon and Papoose both have reaching that tier on their bucket list.
Arular and Kala are both great albums. Maya not so much. Her best feature is her production and charisma. She can't write lyrics worth shit but she's damn entertaining and some of the tracks on her first album especially will blow your fucking speakers.

I liked Saigon's album as a whole.. not great but got a little play from me..
Papoose needs to make a good song first..

Speaking of which, am I the only person who thought GSNT was trash? It's such a generic album, as if he rattled down a list of "how not to be a gangster rapper"
-song about friends
-song about enemies
-multiple "you can do it if you believe" songs
-autotune
-cosigns from 90s rappers
-song about greepy preachers!
etc. And while the production is good, even that aspect feels dated. It's like a street response to College Dropout that's almost a decade late.
lol!! girls just do not understand hiphop:

Naw I agree, I barely listened to it, just screamed generic hip hop album to me, like you said. And yeah, dated as fuck. Such a wasted opportunity.

Nah, you got my full agreement on Saigon and Papoose being garbage. I don't even remember which one was which. Which one was the one trying to be Jay-Z?

i'm taking shots on him, but it's been a minute - what were your highlights?
ps "Gotta have it" was on the radio on my way to work, right? was on this high like "what to bump to get this mood...OH SHIT HERE'S THAT QUIK MIX", if i wile out & get fired im naming names ace
Everyone thought it was dated when it came out cause most-to-all of it WAS recorded way back in the day and just slept on for like half a decade because of label issues.
Wasn't a bad album though, but hey did anyone really expect him to drop AAA material? It was a blast from the past that I thought was great in the context of it all. One problem though is some of the punch lines are really corny/typical but you don't realize it until you pick em out and read em yourself.
Such an amazing line up for a wack ass beat.
EDIT: And after listening to that Curren$y EP, I think it's official. Trademark and Roddy are nicer than Curren$y right now.
Pretty damn good track. Kendrick destroys this shit. J. Cole and Krit did great as well. A lot of good stuff here, verse wise.

Kendrick was good so was Krit, I actually really liked J. Cole's verse too. Bun B was his solid self.

all pub is good pub my fellow black Irish man.
I don't mean it was dope dope but I thought it was decent..
The whole album was produced by Just Blaze almost.. Gotta Have It is my favorite track made my ECM2... (overdue for another soon.. )
The Greatest Story Never Told and And the Winner Is... were nice as well..

That Currency ep is shitty, but I'll give it a pass since it was just thrown together right quick.

So I got around to listening to Undun, just wondering what the consensus on it was?
I really can't remember shit other than liking Make My and Lighthouse. Overall, I thought How I Got Over was much better both in the flow of tracks and individually. Wouldn't say I was disappointed in it, but I don't think it's something I'll feel like listening to straight through very often.

Damn right! Kala is an amazing album and Arular is not far behind.
Cudder just go in release order, she only has three albums (and two mixtapes) so it's not any kind of huge investment to delve into her work.

Man I love the beat on Bad Girls, video is fuck-awesome too. Not as good as Gavras' Stress for Justice but still I'm calling it, video of the year.
definite disappointment. worse than the jetlife project
Been bumpin this on repeat for a while now. one of Nas's best easily. He doesn't usually rock the laid back chill stuff that well but this is a classic

Arular and Kala are my shit. Maya was "ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS..." tho.
Jeezy recent album really isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be...#late
