"Good Girl" and "the Hardest Love Song in the World" could definitely fall into that categoryAcid08 said:
My biggest issue with the album is that theres nothing on here that comes close to Daddy's Lambo...
In a weird way the best way I could describe this album is this: Radioactive is to Yelawolf what Recovery is to Eminem; a few bangers, a few tracks that straight up show his talent, and a lot of tracks that just are made ehhh with generic hooks. Like em on Recovery, yela comes correct throughout the whole thing.
for example, how am I supposed to react to a song like this?
Made in the USA

Heres "Good Girl" for those asking about songs for the ladies:

edit: found it- this is the most egregious song on the album. Justice League and Yela are both wasted here imho:

I won't be listening until tomorrow. Gotta hit the hay.
Low expectations - this album will be on par with Cole World
High - as good or better than Trunk Muzik
hopefully it's good.
edit: wtf, I thought he was on a roll with Hard White and Throw It Up, Made in the USA is fucking cheesy garbage.

I'm actually okay with this one.
This one is all kinds of awful, smh.
Did Justice League just recycle their own beat from Aston Martin and add a piano to it?
Song is decent though.
yeah, I have to agree. The fucking album is called RADIOACTIVE. Radio-motherfucking-active. The lack of hypeness is disappointing. There are still a few bangers though, but Trunk Muzik is definitely better. Hard White (especially the remix) still are gonna get play from me for a while.LOZLINK said:

the remix takes out the oomph of the song though (imo). I like the feel of the original more.
fuuuck sad to hear this is disappointing. oh well, will judge myself tomorrow (and will still buy it to support teh dude)

10 tracks in and it's underwhelming so far. Too many features, and doesn't bump like Trunk Music. Hard White is probably the best track so far :/
I was gonna make a new thread for this video because i like it so much but decided against it.
This is a video from late '07 or 08 of Kanye(post graduation) being interviewed by Tim Westwood.
He goes in on press, media, and haters

Ughhh, smh @ this album. Yelawolf done messed up. What the hell is that 2nd half? Of all the people to make a soft, forgettable album, Yela was nowhere near that conversation. Hard White and Throw It Up are probably the only tracks on the whole thing with the sound I was hoping for. The Rittz track is also a huge disappointment and one of the most grating tracks I've heard in a long time.
J. Cole fail, Yelawolf fail, SAVE US BIG K.R.I.T.

How many of the songs does Yela come hard on?
I'm still fucking pissed we haven't got a song with both him and Rittz going hard. I mean, Yela was fucking whispering on that track. Didn't go well with the chorus at all. It's pretty crazy, you'd think Yela would use this as a launching pad for Rittz with him being on Yela's label. But nope he put's him on a song that shows neither of their strengths.

real talk: ya'll ever found yourself - either cause you moved or other people do - without a dude to smoke and listen to hip-hop/talk about shit with? shit is killing me. my boy was into that southern shit and got me to listen to trap muzik and carter I/da drought II and shit and now all i got is herbs who get jiggy with will smith or (if im lucky) fucks with radio shit. and on my days off, it's a noticeable absence that kills me.
i had that dude that lived 20+ minutes south of here and his chick and dogs were cool and id go over and play fight night or whatever he wanted on my day off and talk hip-hop and philosophy and all kindsa shit and now that it's gone i'd trade like 10 only-video-game-talkin herbs for him. i never realized how important going from metal gear to cypress hill's importance in the 90's to the game and which member of outkast made a bigger impact etc etc was important to me till it was gone.
for real, this is like ye's redeeming angle for me. i know it but serves his ego, but a lotta dudes in the game are only out for their legacy like mayweather but not many of them ask "can i take it as far as micheal did?" and have a solid enough discography to give me a moment to think: this might be the dude to do that. it's why ye says all kindsa dumb shit - and so many rappers do - and gets a pass; deep down when i think of who alive has a Thriller in them - or even a Bad or Dangerous - it's a short list, and he's on it.

i'll admit i'm not a huge lil john fan, and am basing all of my opinion on this one performance. but he's just a glorified hype man.

@ coldveni: good.
because you couldve named yourself after an edan or kweli or something album and been alright, but you had to go picking one of those albums i slept on around the turn of the millennia (don't judge; i was dating punk/etc chicks) and revisiting later only to really identify with. you'll see, might not be for a bit but when i hit seattle, you're due for a PM my dude!
I'm just a pigeon with one mile left/that doggy-paddles through this bullshit ocean of death
and these rags-to-riches words will break bones/like the assassination of two birds with one stone
Sosa my dude, i got 200+ hours of paid time off next year and please believe im backpacking euro next summer/fall like an artist trying to get a british ye's attention on the humble. please believe, ill visit the fuck out of your land of the ice & snow (from the midnight sun, where the hot springs blow). you're prolly in more danger than my man coldvein right now.

Today was supposed to be West Coast Wednesday and even though I enjoyed the mix, the transition from Can't Hold Back to Why We Thugs was impeccable, that ArtOfficial where the fuck did that come from? First time in a while beats have got me to smile. Everything just stopped, I almost missed my stop because of that. Those guys make some amazing shit, I would call it the best production this year. The MC's are not quite as good if these guys could hook up with some better ones they will drop a classic.

lyrics like that have not been written since. and i dare anybody to show different. my favorite being:
See, i exist /iron fist / metal speech / scientist /
came out the womb of a phoenix / expect nothin less
than a mature flame / velocity's my plane / my thought is my train
the galaxy is the body / the sun is the heart / and the black hole is the brain.. heard my verse? you got nothin to say..
verses like that is why i don't care for 80 per cent of hiphop right now. or even going back decades. to me, nothing fucks with that.
further edit: the kids yall see me jabbering about in here now... sims, POS, cecil, ANYBODY. they wish they could write poetry like that. biggie and pac wished they could write poetry like that.
