I hate NWTS, but I have to admit Pound Cake is amazing. Drake's verse is good, they flipped Ellie Goulding (who i love) on some Just Blaze shit, and Jay came with a pretty good swag verse for a change. It's the best song on the album. PMM2 was a mistake though. Shouldna done that.

Tuscan Leather, SFTB, Worst Behavior, Hold On We're Going Home, PMM. Sohhh, 4.5/13 on the Esch Scale.

 

[mooooose]

At least Blackout 2 was a good album.

I haven't listened to it but I know Pound Cake is amazing just because of the Raekwon remix. I thought it was his beat and bugged out but it figures Rae would never find a beat of his own this good.

Lyrically this is one of Rae's best songs in years. You can't tell me otherwise. And the beat is so perfect. He destroyed it. I wish I could have an album in this vein.

 

[overcast]

Was just listening to that song. Chills.

Listening to New Jet City, tape had some dope ass songs on it. The Choosin beat.

 

[MuddyDonut]

New God Flow Ghost was sooooo great. They just need to get out there. Do some crazy shit and stop playing it safe. The best thing they have done in a while is a soundtrack for RZA's kung fu movie. HIS FUCKING MOVIE.

Lol, I loved this one from that soundtrack, Rivers of Blood - Wu-Tang and Kool G Rap

It's one of his best verses in 10 years. Up there with My Guitar/Heart Gently Weeps. I think that's the only one that is better. Classic Ghost on that track. He murdered it. That song is a great song, really underrated. Pusha has awesome quotables.

 

[CountBlack]

So Big Sean and Naya Rivera got engaged.

People are saying that the Control pt 2 Kendrick cypher could actually be directed at Papoose and not Drake..

maybe

Nosetalgia video.

one long shot?

Cool video. Funny seeing the shadow of the camera men on the floor.

 

[Blackace]

Also people forget that Too Short has6 plat albums, and 3 gold ones..

LOX Pound Cake > Jay and Drake Pound Cake > Rae Pound Cake

They're all dope though.

maybe

i'd rather it be directed at Drake for the simple fact that Pap aint worth a response.

 

[Kwixotik]

I catch feels every time I hear him get cut off by gunshots.

Ducktales.

"Nothing Was the Same since I dropped that Control verse"?

Nah.

 

[Discotheque]

Was just listening to that song. Chills.

And Mary and three60

Some awesome songs in there

 

[Macca]

Responding to Papoose just gives him credibility and makes him relevant.

 

[wenis]

CountBlackule = Papoose confirmed.

Stop trying to make Papoose happen Count.

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

three60

fuck yeah, juicy's verse is one of the best this year

 

[CountBlack]

Look at all this discussion off a couple bars

CountBlackule = Papoose confirmed.

Stop trying to make Papoose happen Count.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Nosetalgia video.

one long shot?

That's a damn good video. Fits the song perfectly - transitioning from Pusha's dope boy perspective to Kendrick's dope fiend perspective. Including Kendrick shaking and pulling on his clothes like a fiend. Nice.

 

[Recon]

Also people forget that Too Short has6 plat albums, and 3 gold ones..

Everyone in the 90's/Early 2000's got platinum albums.

 

[HiiiLife]

Is too soon to decide on your top 5 this year? I mean is there anything else to anticipate? *googles*

 

[mooooose]

That Nosetalgia video is ok. The direction was better than the cinematography but whatever it was clearly a 0 budget video. Song was cool too. How is MNIMN? I haven't listened yet but I'm hype for it honestly, King Push is great and this was good.

This is one of the few recent Kendrick features that he didn't murder the artist he was with. Pusha held his own. Good verse.

 

[HiiiLife]

King Push, Suicide, SNITCH & Nosestalgia are all you need. I personally could do without the rest. Maybe in a good mood I'll listen to 40 Acres. But that's it for me.

 

[overcast]

And Mary and three60

Yup. Coolie in the Cut. Whole project was good.

People are saying that the Control pt 2 Kendrick cypher could actually be directed at Papoose and not Drake..

Need it to be at Drake tbh.

 

[enzo_gt]

Sean Don got engaged to that Glee chick. That will definitely last.

That chick is fine as hell. I definitely would too. Sean low key has one of the finest wifeys in the game.

 

[CountBlack]

Kendrick could be killing two birds with one stone

Spoiler

one hand I juggle them both

 

[cdyhybrid]

Waiting for Drizzy to catch feelings off a Papoose diss.

 

[HiiiLife]

Aside from a few tracks, I really don't care about New Jet City. But Coolie in the Cut is damn good.

Mary? Moe Chettah? Living for the city?

 

[HiiiLife]

Mary? Moe Chettah? Living for the city?

Mary yeah. And the lyrics and the beat aren't playing in my head for the last two, so that just speaks for how I felt about that tape. Lol.

 

[Blackace]

Everyone in the 90's/Early 2000's got platinum albums.

Everyone but Kool G Rap

 

[mooooose]

This DJ Rashad album is blowing my mind still. Feelin, Show u How, Pass that Shit, She a Go, I don't Give a Fuck, Double Cup, like are u kidding

 

[PhoenixDark]

Also people forget that Too Short has6 plat albums, and 3 gold ones..

add them up and it's less than one Vanilla Ice album.

 

[Esch]

Everyone but Kool G Rap

(that period wasnt really his prime at all though)

G Rap too ugly and lyrical to sell records. You can be one, or the other, but not both.

 

[CountBlack]

Kendrick wanted Nas to be on Sing About Me.

Wonder how that would've been.

Track could've been 15 minutes if they didn't separate Dying of Thirst from it.

 

[HiiiLife]

That picture talking about Papoose lowkey makes sense if it's true lol.

 

[Blackace]

add them up and it's less than one Vanilla Ice album.

It's like math for the stans

(that period wasnt really his prime at all though)

G Rap too ugly and lyrical to sell records. You can be one, or the other, but not both.

Biggie?

 

[HiiiLife]

Papoose really called another man sweetheart in that tweet? Smh. I'm done.

 

[Esch]

It's like math for the stans


Biggie?

I guess him and Jay are the exception to the rule... plus they were not afraid to be poppy and rely on punchlines at all

 

[Blackace]

I guess him and Jay are the exception to the rule... plus they were not afraid to be poppy and rely on punchlines at all

Biggie didn't live long enough to be too poppy..

 

[Esch]

You don't find a lot of Life After Death poppy?

Granted its not all like that

 

[PhoenixDark]

I guess him and Jay are the exception to the rule... plus they were not afraid to be poppy and rely on punchlines at all

Nas too.

 

[IrishNinja]

oh, some of ya'll squares finally read the OP, neat

also can this new jr member get the fuckouttahere, that'd be great - czarface, 12 reasons & walter reed > your opinions/life

Nas' diss was more childish in comparison

you too with this

LOL at everyone tiptoeing around the Wu sucking and being

cause it's the Wu though. I guess we all have double standards right.

this is pretty hilarious from a MCHG fan

 

[Esch]

Nas too.

Nas is many things, ugly he aint.

this is pretty hilarious from a MCHG fan

Exactly, it is funny that people bag Jay for being flabby but conveniently ignore the Wu being more or less crap for a decade now.

 

[Blackace]

Nas too.

Wha?

 

[Blackace]

You don't find a lot of Life After Death poppy?

Granted its not all like that

Not overly. Most of his features were with Bad Boy artist.. He made a few for the radio hits that he learned from what got airplay from Ready to Die, but nothing crossover level of Jay-Z

 

[PhoenixDark]

Nas is many things, ugly he aint.

Ah I thought you guys were talking about lyricists who sold well, my bad. Was gonna say Nas had like 4 or 5 multi plat albums.

Dunno how I misread that. Nas still looks like he's 26.

 

[CountBlack]

Feeling Down? Read Rick Ross' Ticketmaster reviews to cheer you up

"He didn't even take off his shirt"

[Blackace]

Ah I thought you guys were talking about lyricists who sold well, my bad. Was gonna say Nas had like 4 or 5 multi plat albums.

Fo sure... he was saying you can't be ugly and lyrical.. but Biggie and Jay kinda negate that

 

[HiResDes]

U-God's album is very decent and Killah Priest killed it. Ghostface's Apollo Brown joint is also pretty damn dope.

 

[toastyToast]

Jay isn't exactly ugly. Not when he was coming up anyway. The camel role is something he matured into
