First Listen- fairley good-only song I really hate is Learn Chinese

And as for parody Club songs:
Jin's 'Club Song' >>>>>> Em's 'Just Lose It'

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Is "Learn Chinese" on this one? I have a copy of that somehow, either through a single or something.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Yep but this is the leak so maybe the retail could still change.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Don't want to make my own thread...

Thought I'd mention the new Mos Def - The New Danger is also "out".

 

[Fresh Prince]

Thanks for the heads up LL

Why hasnt Double R dropped Jin's Retail Album? How long has it been finished and it's just sitting there. Didnt like the new Mos Def...

Didnt like the new Mos Def...

Anything in particular you didn't like? I'm still downlo... *cough*

I only learned this week that he even had an album coming out.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

has anyone heard the fight klub battles with Jin vs. Wreckognize (The guy who won the rockafella mtv battle) and then Jin vs. Shells (guy who got ripped by eyedea).

Jin is just such a great battle emcee....too bad he isnt good at making records....but il still give this album a listen.

peace

I've listened to the legit streming version(maybe I should've tipped you guys on it ) link

My favourites are Modern Marvel and Sunshine. The Rapeover (think Takeover beat with Mos Def spitting over it talking about how commercialised rap is) I find very weird. At least dude could've of cut it up or something.

Edit: That's what I used to think as well but this album is very good. I would say I appreciate it more than Lloyd Banks album. The production is first rate.. only problem is that Jin is sounding a little Em-ish.

I thought the album began well, but dropped off after that. I can't believe he kept Learn Chinese on it, it's garbage. Club song has a decent beat and passable verses, but the hook is fucking terrible. Other than that the album is listenable but there isn't even one great song on it.

 

[mrkapawutzis]

Just listened to the Jin album and I must say that it's a lot better than I thought it would be. He's a good storyteller and he conveys emotion in his some of the more introspective songs, something that very few artists can do well.

I wasn't expecting much from a battle mc signed to the Ruff Ryders camp, but the listen convinced me to pick up the album when it oficially drops.

the following link should still work for the freestyle battle where jin wins.

i agree he is truly an amazing battle mc...yet his studio stuff has yet to impress me.

Does Jin's album have that Kanye West produced song on it? Why that wasn't released as a single is beyond me, especially considering how popular K. West is right now.

not only that but it was actually a good song. learn chinese was garbage...a gimmick song. he deserves a better shot.

 

[Takuan]

Yeah, I Got a Love is on it. I like the song a lot, too, I don't know why it wasn't released as a single. Learn Chinese, yuck. YUCK.

Jin killed all of them especially wreck who is a fucking joke. I still listen to some of Jin's 106 and park battles, some classic lines in there.
