I agree...but his entire blueprint is releasing a single to get a release date. He needs a hot song, and because he can't make one by himself he'll have to get Drake/Wayne/etc.

The problem is that Ross has exhausted his lane. He's remaking the same album again with limited results. One of the biggest problems with GFID is that it sounds like a bunch of repetitive records that were supposed to be singles. The middle has the trap stuff like 911 and Hold Me Back, and the latter has ladies track after ladies track - like four or five in a row iirc. You can tell he goes into the studio to basically create three tracks: trap record (BMF), ladies record (Aston Martin Music), smooth record (Rich Off Cocaine). He doesn't take risks, he isn't shooting for innovation, it's just the same thing.

For the most part all rappers have only 1 lane and stick to it for their whole career. Its not that Ross should switch up his lane, he can't. He has no other lane. Ross's misfortune is that he chose the lane that is highly disposable. All of Ross's hottest radio songs were hot cause of the production. People checked those songs out cause he has a great ear for beats. But what's there to hold people over?

The greatest rappers of all time, no matter what your personal ranking is, all offer more than the single you hear on the radio or TV. Ross isn't that type of artist.

I've been out of the loop. Its Lupe doing what exactly?

Does he have beef with Gambino?

Either way F&LII was a step in the right direction. His releases here and there have been quality. I might be the only one here, but looking forward to his album. Don't like the lead single at all though.
 
Thank Godddddddddd. Lets eat. Million sold, AOTY in Feb, etc.

I now think it's gonna bomb actually lol. Not a ton of hype outside of fans, but I'm expecting a great album. Been waiting too long. His fat ass better tour too.

TDE Fanbase too strong for it to just flat out bomb.

They still got a good month to build hype.
 
Why does Skyzoo's flow have to be so one dimensional. It hasn't changed at all since his first release and it just dampens his releases. The production on An Ode To Reasonable Doubt is just wasted on him.

*sigh* i mean get that check but cmon ghost, there's better looks than this

man...

If you would have told me in highschool that Lupe Fiasco would turn out like this I would have slapped you in the mouth

for what it's worth i tried lettin people know. i had that friend in the mid 2000s on that LUPE GON SAVE HIP HOP and i was trying to tell him dude was a square, these albums are good but you're overrating them cause you don't like the current scene etc etc this isn't the dude you wanna stan a few years from now, but my wisdom fell on deaf ears

that Young Money Stimulus Package. Maybe Wayne or Nicki if not Drake.

i know i keep asking this, but going into 2014 can nicki still bring that package? in hip hop though?


i'm liking everything i'm hearing here, busta trips up a little at the end there but i fuck with it, need to hear the rest already

fuuuuuck leave me some impressions brehs

I don't get out of work till 5

^i just said some shit but you should be outta work by now, we in the same timezone son

TM101 > Ross's career

inclined to agree but i really do gotta sit down with Teflon Don and give it a fair one, never really did that much with anything past Port of Miami

hahaha i think this shit too when some of ya'll go on about shit like MY FRIENDS GAS UP TDE, like for real? most of mine dont know who they are

You can't spell Detox without TDE

That chris brown song w/nicki is definitely a hit

aint even heard it out here...i might be splittin hairs, i just don't know if her droppin a verse can bring a ross track where ya'll say he needs it to be. her lyrically queefing on a chris R&B track where dude seems to still be eating okay, i don't know if that's the same thing

Fucking hell, I purposely got to the Ferg concert late so I could miss whoever was opening. I get here an hour after the doors were supposed to open to see the entire line still outside. Now I'm freeing my ass off and I have to sit through a Joey Badass set along with two other people I've never heard of.

:(
