that ending was awkward as hell boi, swerv

 

[T Dollarz]

Yeah, Lauryn Hill is by far my favorite female rapper ever. With The Fugees on The Score, then the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, and that awesome feature with Nas on It Was Written. Oh and her contributions on Wyclef's solo debut.

Wait what is that?

It's the 2LP box edition of the album.

He came off in that freestyle.

Raven Sorvino
Angel Haze
Jaydavey
RatheMC
Amber London
Stash


Iggy really isnt too bad either

Iggy is a white girl from Australia, but somehow has the same vocal inflection as Gangsta Boo

The Score by Fugees is such a fucking good album. Seriously, I love this shit.

Nah forget that nonsense.
The only thing the lawsuit concerned was production.
The CD says, 'written, performed and produced by Lauryn Hill' which wasn't strictly true as a couple of tracks were co-produced.
She wrote all of her lyrics.
The people suing were doing so for production credit recognition which technically gets them writing credits.

Regarding female MC's, shout out to Lefteye, Shortie No Mass who was on that In The Woods De La track and Yo-Yo who was holding her own on that one Ice Cube joint on the AmeriKKKa record.

Really? I believe this article says the lyrics were a collaborative effort too.

Watching now.

EDIT: Missy has a 599 GTO? WTF?!

EDIT2: Timbo stay salty about every piece of music that came out after he stopped dropping heat. Lol @ him talking like the way music is put out now is wrong just cause it wasn't like in the 90s. Can't adapt, complain.

adapt lol. just because he doesnt accept any trash thrown at him doesnt make him salty.

You watch any Timbo interviews recently?

It's an argument about him not being able to keep up or put enough value into his music because new cats are releasing it too fast. Not really cohesive at all, so he casts ALL new artists under the bus.

Yeah I've read that before. Here's a quote:
"Ain't nobody write no Lauryn Hill song, them shits was way too personal."

That and numerous other article point to it being a production issue only.
Well, there is this:
"Of course she sits there like, Ro, give me a word that rhymes with rat. I say cat just to trigger something, Nobody writes anything for her."
But every artist does this.

In the classic Wu days when Ghost was writing verses in his rhymebook he would ask Raekwon for words that rhymed occasionally. Shall we say Raekwon wrote all of Ghostface's songs now?

 

[The Return of]

Always knew that Raekwon was superior and you just confirmed it. Won't be listening to Ghosts albums anymore.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

I burnt mine long ago when I found out Raekwon wrote the whole of Heaven or Hell and Ghostface rapped some of Rae's lines just cause Rae wanted him on it.....

 

[enzo_gt]

More MPC Minutes featuring Marley marl, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, 88-Keys, Young Guru and Q-Tip.

Yeah, they're promo stuff but I still think they're really damn cool.

You joke, but there's always been rumors that Trife ghostwrote some of Ghost's later stuff.

And being personal doesn't mean that she wrote it. The Watcher is a pretty personal song, but I refuse to believe that Dre wrote anything.

...Sounds like some heydey Def Jux shit

Jackson, Mississippi space cadet crash-lands with an out-there '80s-indebted concept album

How should I describe rapper/producer 7evenThirty's Heaven's Computer? A Big K.R.I.T. album if the only influence were 8ball & MJG's Space Age Pimpin'? Devin the Dude in "Zeldar" mode for 50 straight minutes? John Sayles' The Brother From Another Planet meets Forbidden Planet as a hip-hop musical? The Gorillaz's Plastic Beach with a lot more rapping and an '80s obsession that includes the Back To The Future soundtrack and the arch, ironic dialogue of Heathers? OutKast if they were still doing what they were doing?

All of those might sound pretty good, but they don't tap into what's so exciting about this concept album that casts 7evenThirty (presumably a Big L reference, right? "If you're 730, that means you're crazy" from "Ebonics") as a take-no-crap alien invader named Max Redrum. Tagging along with him is a super-polite super-computer named Alfie. Together, they discover that this Earth place is actually pretty great! Or something? He falls in love with his girl and defies his shit-talking superiors. Just listen for yourself. Meanwhile, producers Erik L, 5-D, and Mr. Slago wrap breakbeats, Southern twang, and effective doses of '80s cheese, around his heartwarming, spaced-out concept. Sure, there are highlights — diss track and auto-critique "Getup!!!!," the neon noir saxiness of "Chocolate Bliss," a slowed-down outer-space jam about label fuckery called "Mysterious Business" — but it's best to go through this one from start to finish and figure it out for yourself. 7evenThirty's Heaven's Computer is out next Tueday (pre-order it here), but you can listen to it below, exclusively at SPIN.

Mannie Fresh is credited as main producer on The One. I had no clue.

Speaking of LS, I'm seeing GZA do it tomorrow in Chicago. Anyone see him on this tour? When I first posted about seeing him the general consensus was that he sucks/is boring live. How was he recently?

I seen him maybe 2 months ago with Rae and Ghost?? Worst ive ever seen of him. Absolutely no flow. Just said the lines. One of the best to ever do it, but hes terrible live. If youve seen him before dont go again, itll only ruin it for yourself.

the dude is 46 years old and he ain't getting any younger. it sucks that he's on the decline but goddamn he's almost 50 years old

Shit cracks me up. He's the new Jeezy to me. You put his shit on when you just want some generic, but well put together songs to nod your head to. Even my old school, backpacking white ass can't hate on Titty 2 Chainz.

unlike the majority of his verses, that was the smartest thing he's ever done
