BOW WOW is a little punk who would never sponser anyone
Having an argument with Flex would be the worst experience of life. Just shut up for a second. Every mannerism in his talk is frustrating.
EDIT: Why the fuck does Nicki keep making this an issue of gender?
I shouldn't have listened to this in the first place. I feel like I killed off far too many brain cells in the past half hour.

I fuck with Peter Rosenberg, dude is probably my favorite hip hop personality on the radio alongside Combat Jack and Dallas Penn. But I'm too old to pull the "real hip hop" card, b. Seriously, that shit is played out. I remember saying that shit in high school and loving the leers I'd get, while secretly hoping a Nubian queen with locks would appear out of nowhere and say "you're right, 50 Cent is wack. Let's go listen to Talib Kweli while I suck your dick."
Now I'm an old ass 25 year old black man. Hip hop has always had semblances of pop, let's not get it twisted. There is no such thing as real hip hop or fake hip hop, it's all about demographics and what you like. I don't expect a 13 year old girl to like Mobb Deep anymore than I'd expect a rugged dude to be bumping Starships. If a girl listens to Nicki and then decides to look for some harder shit, more power to her.
I think Super Bass is one of the best pop songs I've heard in years. It's pop rap, it's hip hop/rap...but it's also a pop record. I'm cool with that shit. I'm not going to bump it in the whip, but I know a lot of the lyrics thanks to my little cousins and I think it's dope. Sue me. My taste in hip hop can't be questioned, so it's all good.

Hilarious, but accurate and true. People kill me with the elitism and faux knowledge.

when I was a youngster it had to be gangsta/grimey or I wouldnt mess wit it
but the truth is the industry needs crossover hits to truly grow
super bass is one of the best crossover hits I have heard since hey ya
it is closer to hiphop than pop but is pop
so basically fuck his salty ass
he doesnt have problems taking money made off the non true hiphop
while I think weezy handled it weakly
the whole taking my ball and going home thing is far from gangsta

Wow, LftU is surprisingly disappointing...
Save us Kendrick...
Save us Kendrick...
You should have listened to us.
I'll probably still buy but yeah it is a dissapointing album.
So do I. Especially Money On The Floor. The album really needed stand out features, and that track has the best. But it came out like 8 months ago.
I love the album personally. Do I think it's a classic or anything? Naw... but it'll still get a ton of play from me.
And to people (PD mainly) saying he'll bomb and everything, I really can't imagine Def Jam having a huge investment in him. Surely they saw the numbers his tapes put up, Youtube views and shit. It's not like they were paying big name outside producers or anything, it was all handled by KRIT.

hearing some of the songs early definitely didn't bother the impact of the album for me. I only heard like 3 songs out of the album before listening to the full thing that's pretty much typical. It's more like hearing his last 3 mixtapes lowered the impact of his album personally. Beat wise, it's just so underwhelming seriously coming off of his last two mixtapes.
Macca is right tho, krit handled everything from production himself entirely so I doubt they put a lot of money into something like this. I'd imagine it'd sell well enough for them to decide to let him make another album or at least I'd hope so.

Okay, I can see that. i think that song maybe made my expectations too high as well. I honestly didn't think it would be on the album since the single came out so much earlier. I still think it's overall a solid project, not bad despite it possibly seems like I think it's bad.
People just expected too much, the Illmatic of southern hip hop or something.
It's a pretty good album but nothing special, a 7/10 probably.
Money on the Floor is definitely the best track, he shouldn't have released it so early, I'm all burnt out on it now.
Sounds about right. Can't wait to give it a legitimate full listen through.

Who really thought it'd be the illmatic of the south? We already got that album. 16 years ago.
I'd imagine that people just wanted an album on par with his mixtapes.I don't think that's setting expectations too high..

Tree's Sunday School > > > > KRIT's LFTU
This one is good for chillin and leanin, especially with a chick, but I do prefer the ones which make me want to suplex small children.
Awesome video.
Danny is by far my favorite dude in Hip-Hop, today.
hip hop gaf and I are growing apart, we just don't see eye to eye anymore, our love affair is dying, soon we'll be throwing dishes at each other and fucking other people until one of us stabs the other in the middle of the night. Krit album is great, currensy's album is full of great production but is ruined by currensy still being a boring ass below average rapper, ya'll are tolerating nicki minaaj's vile poisonous fuckass? the fuck, I'm all for pop rap, I'm the dude who pushes blackace to make poppy mixes more than anyone else afterall, but nicki is a fucking cancer and should be eradicated.
Oh and flex might be an obnoxious fuck, but he'll always get a tiny bit of respect from me for being one of the first big DJ's to come out early and say "fuck R Kelly, I don't play music from pedophiles".

My issue with nicki-chan is that she says shes influnced by the legends, then does videos that are no where close - then when her cd doesnt do well complains nobody understands her. I cant really stand her not because of her other talents, but she doesnt even want to mention where her other infuences are and then lies about it, and then says "because im a woman, this, this and this is hurting my chances" that shit is bullshit.
I know where Krit came from, Danny Brown, Hopsin etc. I cant for the life of me PIN down who Nicki Minaj is and what she wants to be unless i understand her gimmick from a j-pop/rap perspective then i know what she is. The problem is she doesnt know how to sell it.
it has nothing to do with a major label at all, it has to do with the album treading water musically.
smh
smh again especially when people are praising Curren$y's big major label project all over the thread

LFTU is a good album but he spoiled us with his 3 previous mixtapes.
Def Jam should have payed for some samples. KRIT doesn't have any song on the album as good as Hometown Hero from KRIT WUZ HERE.
Pretty much. KRIT was carried by a lot of dope ass samples, some where he carried the melodies into his hooks. None of that is present on the album, and we just get repetitive choruses, sub par guests, and good but not great production.
Oh well. Kendrick will save us
