no lie, rap might be better if ghostwriters werent taboo.

there's some great rappers that should never pick up a pen and some great writers that should never pick up a mic.

Agreed entirely.

"Ghostwriting" in itself has such a bad rep really, so much that anything collaborative gets a bad rep too. Just look at Dre's body of work.

Oh and back to Cruel Summer, don't think you're gonna get off that easy Tguy. Even if I excuse Cruel Summer's lack of cohesion and driving theme given that it's sort of a compilation album, it doesn't even carry the pro's associated with good compilation albums of having every song on the album being good as a standalone track. Russian Roulette, MMG's Self Sacrifice, Gensu Dean's Lo-Fi Finghaz, and RZA's The Man With The Iron Fists OST, all manage to bring together a variety of emcees under a strong driving force and concept, so maybe I shouldn't even let the messiness slide. But if I were, Kiss Tha Ring for comparison is a similar album that manages to avoid the low pitfalls of Cruel Summer and bring a fun albeit quite messy sound.

I agree and it's funny too because some of the most praised Hip-Hop albums have had some ghostwriters ex Dre and Lauryn Hill(Not entirely hip-hop, but people still fuck with it)

Honestly those albums you named, I don't agree with the comparisons at all. Only one I find that is comparable is MMG's Self Sarcifice because it isn't Oddisee's Self Sarcifice nor is it yU's Self Sarcifice, just like how Good Music isn't Kanye's album nor is it any other artist album, but you can't say the same for Alchemist or RZA albums. They have clear control over what they wanted in the album. Good music cruel summer is just showing off what other members can do. That is possibly why it came out the way it did, but it is what it is. I did enjoy seeing you call me an asshole though

I don't understand what you mean by the messiness in the sound. Even if your using that as a backhand instead of just calling it variety, that's what a compilation should excel at; variety. Not 100 bangers, not necessarily an overburdening theme to restrict that.

With regards to what I've heard out of those albums, they're pretty incomparable. RR has a theme and is hardly a compilation when it's mostly instrumentals with sparse rapping features over it, and MWTIF is riddled with poor songs, and pretty much has a theme out of necessity, and even then still I wouldn't go close to the word "cohesive" when describing it. Also I'm guessing you meant Self Made.

Kiss The Ring is an apt comparison, another album with the same goal, that arguably executes very well on it. But it's highs are not as high, not as frequent, and the album is even less varied IMO. I'm reiterating, but I think a lot of this reducing down to Cruel Summer not being what people wanted, instead of a new Kanye solo or something that isn't a compilation, and I don't think that's a reason to hate on the album as a whole outside of it not being your preference.

I had a feeling Kendrick would be boring on that Lonely Island track.

Also, back in my basic cable days as a youngin I used to watch What I like About You after school. Now having seen my fair share of Riff Raff vids I can finally say that Simon Rex is a fucking rapper. However, I always knew it was him in some of those videos deep down inside, but I never wanted to face the truth.

i've seen that show a couple of times. it's alright.
from lurking gossip sites (around the time the internet thought RDJ was telling hollywood's business.) i found out that Jennie Garth is straight as an arrow and Amanda Bynes is basically a nympho. and Amanda fucked Jennie's husband or something like that. funny stuff. learned lots of interesting drama about hollywood. it really is fucked up as hell.

anyway Simon Rex is a wild dude.

He rarely raps when he is part of Flatbush. He has his owm solo stuff, but I think he is trying to rap more in the group. He only rapped on the 2nd track of their mixtape and funny too that was my favorite off of it.

Edit: he actually raps on 5 different tracks

Awkward as shit when you see your HS teacher on the news for having sex with a student. I was waiting for a Teacer/Student story to come out of UT and what do you know? Fuuuuuuuuck.

Knew she was sus too.
