why dont i remember recons catching that tag
my favorite comments of this page so far~
you read about how he basically shoots bullshit now to hook up his friends, right? i forget where i saw that but like at least the last decade or more of his work made so much more sense knowing that
i think it's weird that aside from some chapters of his books, the only time in life i don't think i was seeing a high/drunk/based etc RZA was in Man with the Iron Fists, where n early everyone else was clearly gone (especially crowe)
its good to take your dream project seriously but the vibe's all wrong if you're the only one doing that
when i lived in the midwest they came up a lot, yeah...but out here its mostly latin dudes on about them and 3-5
granted im one of like 5 white dudes out here but proportionately that means my mostly indifference to dipset speaks volumes

Trunk Muzik Returns is weird......Raekwon verse is so bad and off beat. On the same tape Paul Wall kilt it like it's nothing. I'll have to listen to it more. Hardly the type of project I could listen to a few times and have an overall opinion on it. Definitely can see where Toku is coming from tho
But seriously tho, how is Raekwon so off beat on a beat like this LOL.
Edit: Toku, did you know Roach Gigz had a new tape out?

i once banned the head of Recon, only to have 2 grow in its place
Thinking about bringing back Wu Wednesdays (fucka native tounges tues). Anyone be interested?
Idea for this time would be to create a new thread, just for that, and discuss an album a week, both group and solo albums in order, starting from Enter the Wu Tang (Can do Words from the Genius after, best to start with that tho I think). And then we can have the week to discuss that album before the next.

I did not. Thank you. I still need to buy the album he dropped last year, I've been slacking.
And yea, thats classic Rae though. Rae sounds off and most shit unless it's his own shit.
Also yeah, been putting in serious time into Trunk Muzik Returns. Its kinda my vibe lately.

I know you gone fuck with this^.
Tennessee Love might be Yela's best song or at least the mood I've been in this past few days it hits the spot.
How does everyone feel about albums being mastered to sound clean and sparkly? Just asking because I find that there's something I'm attracted to with albums that don't have perfect mastering. Sometimes I feel like clean mastering does more harm depending on the type of album it is.
Drop it like it's a heated up object recently removed from the microwave.
And 'song that I somehow overlooked and only now find myself listening the fuck out of' award this week goes to Rittz - Switch Lanes.
It's why I love MBDTF.

well, someone should
Yep.
one other thing about KA he said was interesting, was that the Roc Marci collab album was one track away from being done when Roc moved to LA. He was like, damn smh smiling
saw Del last night, if anyone else saw this tour, it's funny for several reasons but mainly cause he brings out Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets, which blew my mind given how much I love Digable Planets especially their second album.
Del claimed he and Ladybug Mecca have an album in the works, which I'll believe it when i see it. Still, hearing Cool Like Dat and a couple other Digable songs was a nice surprise.
I met Ladybug after her little mid-Del-set and she was extremely friendly, introducing everyone to her sons, who she brought with her, some lil swag jr.s, yawning their way through the rest of Del's set. One fan was like, "you guys have the coooolest mom!"
But Del starts the whole set by freestyling over the worst beats, seriously horrible shit, and it went on like that for like 25 mintues, of just like an anti-show, show. but it was like people were into it anyway cause they were all young as hell, dancing, didnt know Del from Big Daddy Kane, so then Del starts going into all his shit from every album, mr dobalina, eye examination, at the helm etc. anyway it wound up a dope show, but started like a scene from I'm Still Here, with Joaquin Phoenix, which btw is a movie which rap fans with an odd sense of humor should see, especially for the scenes with Puff

i was so happy when this native tongue show of de la & tribe brought dres from black sheep on outta nowhere, it was such a great set
other one was this red/meth show years back where red had some other dude rap busta's verse on da goodness, then like early on busta himself comes on and grabs the mic, shit was crazy...he finishes and then goes center stage like "miami if you hear me say gimme some mo' " and we all go back & forth till he's like "man i aint got time for that shit!!" and leaves, haha

Roc has been in Cali for awhile. He has his own mini studio at his crib, but also spends a lot of time with Alchemist just watching him work. You can tell Roc is serious about making dope shit, as is Alc. Unlike a lot of dudes who come into Alc's studio, Roc doesn't smoke weed while recording, he's all business.
Unfortunately in rap in particular, the longer you stay making music the more people expect you to change while also not changing.
I think Eminem just needs to do what he wants to do and not cater to any particular direction. I mean most all rappers rap about the same 2-3 subjects which they are comfortable with or know about for all their albums. Em is no different. Problems with his mom/wife, struggle with fame, an drugs. That was his bread and butter.
Now the humor/shock value is gone because its another era. That is about the only thing he has to avoid because it just isn't funny anymore. Other than that what is he supposed to talk about? Politics? Nah just stick to what you know. Just make it fun to listen to (no yelling or accents for the full album) over good production. Make it a mix of personal issues, demons, and some social commentary on rap in general or bravado songs.
I don't think you make a good concept album when the concept you try to cover is out of your capability.
I'll take a Rihanna hook. No Minaj. Slaughterhouse posse cut? Hell yeah! That would be about 2 tracks out of a possible 12-14 track album.
Its not like his albums never had a pop/radio friendly single before Recovery.
i remember that ghostface interview a bit ago where he said he doesnt smoke in the studio anymore, cause it wastes too much studio time/money
