2 Chainz about to bomb. No Drake, no radio presence.

 

[Detox]

Oh shit 50s hard drive is leaking, more like Aftermath is sitting on him because it's his last album and he is trying to get out.

I like the beat and 50 on here, but god damn Skylar is really bad on this.

TBH I had high hopes for Skylar Gray but she just ended up making the same song over and over and bringing the same performance to every song. Sad, I think she's pretty talented.

 

[CountBlack]

Alex da kid and Skylar Grey

where have I seen that before

 

[Rooster12]

I learned today that ordering Vinyl is a tricky thing.

I ordered Rakim - When I Be On the Mic 12" which arrived today and didn't have the original cover.....fcuck!!

 

[EloquentM]

There is a drake feature PD. y'all were right about that transition btw.

 

[Esch]

2 Chainz about to bomb. No Drake, no radio presence.

Nah. If he decides to make I Do It a single w/video he'll be fine. Bit late in the game though. Feds watching had decent radio rotation I suppose. I still hear it and the shit dropped in feb or w/e.

Yep... pretty sure she must be fucking Em or something, wouldn't be surprised to see her on Yelawolfs next single.

I do think she is talented. I think she is more of a Lana Del Rey than a straight up pop singer. She hasn't found any mainstream single to get herself some success.

And her collabos with rappers/Alex da Kid all sound the same but that's no fault of hers. They write the hook and ask her to sing. Em also released her album way too late. She was hot about 2-3 years ago and people knew who she was.

Good god the 50 cent song is terrible.

 

[HiiiLife]

I'm liking Stay Trippy more than Boats2 so far.

Skylar actually writes a lot of the songs herself, can't really say it's no fault of hers. If she's doing these collabs, it's up to her.

I don't think she was ever "hot" as a singer. She definitely can sing, but I think it's her song writing that gets her on the featured tracks. But I mean, look at her solo songs, nothing has made a dent.

Hot as in known.

But then again sometimes its so random who gets famous and who doesn't. I don't think she or Em knows how to market her. Not having a legit radio hit doesn't help.

Who was she signed to before the name change?

 

[overcast]

So I listened to Do Ya Like by Childish Gambino and it aged terribly for me.

I checked if I still like his EP.. I did. I failed you GAF-Hop.

Machine Shop Recordings. Mike Shinoda's label. Which also did fuck all with their artists.

 

[overcast]

Also, I don't listen to Stay Trippy as much as I thought I would. It slaps, but it kind of wore on me. Still a good album, but I prefer trap lord.

I agree. I prefer Illmatic over Flockavelli, but it's close.

 

[overcast]

Illmatic is good, but I feel as if it would be better as a 6 song ep. Ending at memory lane, before the subpar 2nd half.

 

[HiiiLife]

I.. Am not turned off by the Fergie verse. That's surprising lol.

Man, something to do with this has to be in the new thread title.

Trap Lord is ok... better than expected but ain't doing that much for me

The only problem with Stay Trippy is he stays in one BPM too much...

Still the goods tho

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Illmatic has a bad second half?

 

[Esch]

Stay Trippy's monotony is definitely gonna dock it some points by the end of the year. Its already kinda samey to me. And BOATS 2 is just better overall, if were going by comparisons among peers...

 

[Macca]

Illmatic has a bad second half?

And a bad first half.

 

[Blackace]

Illmatic has a bad second half?

And is sounding dated

 

[CountBlack]

Jay Z's body guard was tasered to death by the police in Miami :/

 

[HiiiLife]

Smh @ a Mase and T-Pain feature. Stay Trippy wins because of that.

 

[OG Kush]

haha i swear im as baffed as you. first time im hearing this shit.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Rick Ross ft/ Future - No Games

This beat knocks

T-Pain the hit maker is a bad feature?

Ok...

 

[HiiiLife]

Ok...

Shit ain't hot to me. It's cool that you like T-Pain tho lol.

 

[Blackace]

Shit ain't hot to me. It's cool that you like T-Pain tho lol.

I don't dislike T-Pain

But I know what guys get the Booty juices flowing and Pain is one of them

Ya I figured its gonna be a club hit. But I don't dig it tbh. One of the features on the album I'm not a fan of.

 

[enzo_gt]

T-Pain has the song of the summer and everybody slept on it. Shit is a jam.

 

[HiiiLife]

Tom Ford still bangs tho. Das one of my summer tracks.

 

[Blackace]

Which song?

One of my favorite summer joints that everyone slept on was by Sean Paul

Tom Ford bangs even if the verses are lifeless

Up Down ft. B.o.B. Even B.o.B.'s verse is dope.

It's like UEONO if UEONO was good.

Oh that track...

That was aiight

Thought you were talking bout the goods

Bad Bitches Link Up

 

[HiiiLife]

Tracks from that whole album do. Just turn off my mind and don't mind the forgettable lyrics and weak flow lol.

 

[Esch]

UOENO is a song of the year contender. Dat beat, controversy, catchphrase. I like everything about it minus the obvious

 

[DominoKid]

man that track aint even as good as the R. Kelly UOENO remix.

 

[PBY]

Why are people still trying to make T Pain happen?

You don't think it knocks? Come on man.

 

[Blackace]

Because no one has filled the void of making hood rat anthems yet

 

[Blackace]

Scust Face.

Pfft
