What Are You Listening to?

[Chutney]

He's a decent mainstream artist, compared to today's scene. In the larger picture, he's pretty weak. No question that he's better than Juelz, though.

I usually rate someone based on their lyrics (content and creativity) and overall sound. Like a lot of rappers, he doesn't really rap about anything special. Basically the usual bragging, so there's not much to look for in that respect. He has his moments with creativity and busts out a few clever similes or lines. His singles are absolutely terrible, but I didn't really mind "Tha Mobb." "Grown Man," "Shooter," "Get Over," or "Fly Out." Other tracks were too unfocused and I saw myself phasing out, because it was too repetitive.

I absolutely hate his sound though. It's not really his fault, but I can't stand his voice. He flows well over a beat, but (especially when he's talking in the intro to a song) I have a hard time focusing on his words.

I have a feeling he'll sound better on his mixtape (haven't listened to it yet). Also, he would be getting more praise than most of Dipset if he was from NY.

[The Dream]

right now I'm listening to a French MC named "Mc Solaar".....man I don't know what he's sayin, but he has a digable planets vibe to him...his beats will take you back to the early 90's boom bap mixed with a little jazz production.....this is refreshing to here

that instrumental is sick, and 50's sing/songy voice actually makes it a pretty decent track imo.

 

[B.e.]

THE GENIUS- GZA: QUEENS GAMBIT

GZA is in my top 5 DOA. Dude is as good as it gets.

Yeah thats why I like it, I also like the subtle shots he takes at Fat Joe, Jadakiss etc. in the version I have, hahahaha, its just funny picturing them in the situations he claims.

"Nas, you's a Window Shopper, mad as f*** when you see me drive by"

I mean I know I'm always blasting the likes of 50 Cent, The Game, Mainstream Rap in general etc. but I do have a fair few songs from the likes, mostly for the sick bassy instrumentals that you just cant get listening to A Tribe Called Quest, lol.

Anyway, I'm listening to:

"Rather Unique" by AZ

 

[Midnight Green]

Anyone hear the diss version of Window Shopper with Game and Nas?

 

[umair]

Man yall gotta listen to Zoom by Yung Joc and Lil Boosie, that song is clean!
