Can any OG's in here explain why we never got a Rakim & Kool G Rap collaboration album??

The two best old school rappers??

 

[manipulate]

Cudi's recent stuff is pretty bad. I, too, respect the fact he's willing to try new things, but it's kind of pointless as he doesn't have enough self-awareness to recognise what he can or can't do well. And it turns out there's not apparently not very much he can do well.

Well isn't he supposed to play some new shit?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Alright I listened to that Gunplay record.

It's aight. His songwriting lets him down

 

[Detox]

Hopefully he puts Jon Connor on with the soundtrack.

 

[Nibel]

Nibel, back to the old avatar.

Keeping it oldschool breh, you know it

Well isn't he supposed to play some new shit?

Yeah, but from his Twitter I assume it'll be more than that

 

[Grover Cleveland]

So Back 2 Back is charting on iTunes and has the clubs going up

Drake really just made a diss track the record of the summer.

It's hard outchea for Ja Meek

This is worse for Meek than Drake. He should have had his sister Ghostwrite the diss track for him.

 

[Kyzer]

rofl not bad though

 

[RellyRell28]

if the internet was a monolithic entity, by & large it dickrode em for the first half of his career and woke the fuck up when he mostly shat up the 2nd half

like, as a Wu stan? the internet doesn't "hate" on them; their group efforts since the early aughts have seemingly only gotten worse & further reminded people of their once greatness. as said stan, can i still find bits/tracks here & there to be enjoyable? no doubt, but they fell the fuck off years ago; no reason to cry about it or attempt to deny it when people bring it up.

I really wanna get hyped for that Dre album but I just know that Slaughterhouse managed to get on it somehow

aww that'd be some garbage. fearing the worst with the eminem and slaughterhouse features.

funnily enough 10 or more years ago i think an eminem/dre collaboration would be really exciting.

Lol it's apparent I stayed here too long. Time to take my leave from this nonsense.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Nah, Slaughterhouse won't be on the Dre record. Cube claims it's "inspired by the movie", so I'm expecting a big west coast sound.

The only cat in SH who really vibes with that is Crooked

 

[Cheddahz]

I'm listening to Banco for the first time in months and it still holds up perfectly (and it's just a fun album to blast around town in the summer)

 

[Kyzer]

realizing this meek vs drake thing was an international event now looking at peoples facebooks from all around the world

 

[Koozek]

Honestly, brehs, I'm slowly starting to think that Dre is a bit overrated, or let's be fair and say that he fell off especially in the last 10 years since after Documentary basically.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I wonder how involved he was as an Exec on TPAB

 

[Courage]

Honestly, brehs, I'm slowly starting to think that Dre is a bit overrated

Other than pioneering G-Funk, yes.

I prefer DJ Quik anyway.

 

[Cheddahz]

metro boomin' > dr. dre

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Honestly, brehs, I'm slowly starting to think that Dre is a bit overrated, or let's be fair and say that he fell off especially in the last 10 years since after Documentary basically.

How much production work has he really done in the past ten years though? Outside of Relapse, it's been a while since he's had a big presence on an album.

I will agree that he's slightly overrated though. In the sense that his various collaborators over the years (Daz, Mel-Man, Scott Storch, Mike Elizondo, Dawaun Parker) haven't always received some of the credit they deserve in making some of his beats. No question that Dre's final touch is magic, but I don't think he's been the one doing much of the groundwork in terms of making his beats since the 90s.

How much of this was Gaf-hop influenced?

That new Cudi is the worst thing I've heard all year.

I'm just waiting on the remixes to start dropping.

If Ross jumps on a B2B remix, it's a wrap for Meek.

 

[wenis]

Alright I listened to that Gunplay record.

It's aight. His songwriting lets him down

So it's a Gunplay record.

[Koozek]

Not much. It only reinforced my feelings.
Relapse was hot garbage. He didn't produce a lot in the last few years, yeah, but what he did was super samey and stale. The same old piano + boom-clap-boom-clap drum-pattern + horn-hits every few bars.

EDIT: This is smooth, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cypVfc4g_cc

Let your little sister fight your battles brehs

Should have let her ghostwrite for him.

Father dropped a new 'EP', although it's 2 tracks

 

[Kopite]

Old Time's Sake's beat on Relapse is pretty addictive.

 

[Trey]

That new Cudi is the worst thing I've heard all year.

How many times do you think this exact sequence of words has been arranged in history?

 

[Daria]

his bounce production is starting to all sound the same and similar issues with his flow

 

[ViewtifulJC]

"Confused" really sums up Kid Cudi

 

[Daria]

anything after MOTM2 shouldn't even be included in his discography

 

[ViewtifulJC]

two studios albums and he died, like Lupe Fiasco

This is where dudes like Storm Chamber quote you and say Tetsuo & Youth was good, and then we laugh at them.

WZRD was non-cannon

[PhoenixDark]

Can any OG's in here explain why we never got a Rakim & Kool G Rap collaboration album??

The two best old school rappers??

Rappers didn't really do collab albums like that in the 80s. Plus G Rap was in the Juice Crew so he wasn't really out there looking to do shit with Rakim. They did some tours together though...but then again it's weird how in the 80s there would be like a billion rappers on one tour.

Just heard How to Love for the first time in years....

What the fuck was he thinking

have thin skin about one of the internet's most beloved MC's

T.R.O.Y. Rhythm Scholar Remix

normally i think it's not a good idea to mess with one of the most iconic beats in hip hop, but i'm diggin this

Rappers didn't really do collab albums like that in the 80s. Plus G Rap was in the Juice Crew so he wasn't really out there looking to do shit with Rakim. They did some tours together though...but then again it's weird how in the 80s there would be like a billion rappers on one tour.

true, but supershows like rock the bells brought a lotta that back, wish we'd get that out here agian
old school tickets especially - ive missed a bunch of slick/doug/biz/kane/etc collabo shows in the last so many years

Also didn't Rakim have to be talked down from dissing Kool G Rap at one point? There wasn't hostility but they saw themselves as rivals.
