It didn't used be like that.

It is not like back in '95 people were like, "Wow, this Mobb Deep Album really sucks".

Or

"This new Ghostface album is so soft".

Or

"Tupac has no energy on his Biggie Diss. Tupac lost it."

Or

"DMX is so soft now. He has no aggression."

Or

"Outkast doesn't really have that smooth southern player Cadillac vibe rolling."

No one said those things.

The reason people are like that today is that the music really is shitty now.

The 90s were probably the last great era in hip-hop, with some notable exceptions.

Dare I say it but Eminem is probably the most talented individual rapper ever. His albums aren't really my cup of tea. They are built for mass consumption for kids in the burbs. But his freestyles on mixtapes and especially his guest appearances are simply unparraleled. This guy has killed every record he's appeared on with another rapper. He could have spent his entire career being a hitman on other rappers' careers if he really wanted to.

Lyrics:[Verse 1: Drake]
Hey girl,
Do you want my number?
That way you can call me
Everytime I come into town
And then I will drive up to your house
And take you out to dinner
I don't expect nothing at all

[Chorus:]
But what if we happen to kiss, then we touch
Put a rush on it, get it over with
What if I just know what you like
And it feels right, then it's over with
What if I don't call you back
Prove you right
And all this lasts just one night
(Maybe we should slow it down) slow, slow, slow

[Verse 2: Drake]
Hey girl,
I'm back in Atlanta
Second dates are lovely
This time you should choose where we go
Need suggestions?
How about the movies?
Many go for ice cream
I'm not picky, you'll let me know

[Chorus:]
But what if we happen to kiss, then we touch
Put a rush on it, get it over with
What if I just know what you like
And it feels right, then it's over with
What if I don't call you back
Prove you right
And all this lasts just one night
(Maybe we should slow it down) slow, slow, slow

Check out these lyrics:


[Verse 1]
I'm so high even when I'm coming down
Just met a girl say she from the H-Town
I say my name is Drizzy and ain't nobody realer
Cup inside a cup, smoking Ghostface Killah
Got these boppas going crazy, nigga I'm the man
I sent ya girl a message, said I'll see ya when I can
She sent me one back, but I ain't never read it
Cause pussy's only pussy and I get it when I need it


This dude talks about playing women (strippers, groupies, other artists, etc) in dozens of his songs. That soft shit above sells to his (very lucrative) female audience. Don't count on the reality matching that image.

Pusha-T is def. not misguided. look at these lyrics from the CLipse song Freedom, off of their third album Till the Casket Drops:

With every line written, And all I have given
Music's been nothing more than a self made prison
I've taken inmate loses at the hands of this one
My pen's been the poison to family and friendships
Now is time to mend shit,
Time to bring closure to
The clear conscience of Pusha is long over due

And this was a SINGLE off that album.

Also check out his mixtape version of Jay-z's "Can I Live". The ability to flow on one of Jayz's greatest songs, a feat most would fail at, is proof of the guy's potential.

Pusha does make commercial music as well, but these guys have families to feed. 75% of his music, at the very least, has real deep value.

Dog... Hell Hath No Fury was fucking trilla. Best Clipse album. The fucking chromatic scale beat on "Ride Around Shinin"... Man. One of the coolest Neptunes albums of all time; pharrell and chad killed that shit.

Just kidding that shit sucks, I wont listen to anything past 1997.

Ha.

Or even better look at dudes reality. Though I don't believe he has fucked all of these broads that the media gets a picture with him since now days they will link him to any bitch he is in a picture with but dude has been running through tail since degrassi.

A short Drake hit list:










To end this off Drakes two most high profiles "Beefs" (whatever that means noways) we're with Common and Chris Brown. Two dudes salty that Drake ran through their old women: Serena (Common); Teyana Taylor + Rhianna + Keisha Shante (haha Chris Brown).

And Rent-a-cop Rick Ross is more qualified?

How about Codeine addicted University Student Lil Wayne whom has been a millionaire since he was 16?

All rappers lie and talk shit on their records these days. Only 10% of kats are keeping it real, but if you want to sell you have to talk bogus stories. Its ignorant to only single out Drake. Do I agree he needs to chill on the street talk, yes but to single him out on it is dumb.

not arsed about hiphop/rap anymore, it had it's prime in late 90s early 00's. Eminem and them boys smashed it. Now it's either eurodance or RNB really, the market has changed, the kids these days are fucking pussys so the songs made for them now are.

It's the same here in the UK rockbands, the ones we had in the 90s and even going back to the ones before that were all fucking nutters, shagging shit load of girls and generally being total pricks but idolised, now we have a bunch of pussies singing with some absolute shite music.

All these guys have to sell out for the money, especially with the shelf-life of a rapper being so short these days.If they don't, record execs will hold up their careers. Lupe Fiasco was awesome, but he had to switch up his style in order to release his newest CD. Hell, 50 Cent went from talking about "How to Rob" to "New Day" and he's the most credible gangster rapper there is.

Ive been listening to the Game's new album Jesus Piece. Heres the first track that really stood out to me... Ali-Bomaye ( didn't know this was a boxing reference till I googled it). Hook is rather later, about 30 seconds in. Definetely not a radio-friendly song...The tone of both songs are slightly off (you-tube regulations i guess).





Other notable track





Game clearly puts some heart (with some fronting) in it, none-the-less a decent listen. Overall solid B grade. Definetly better than the sh-t i hear on the radio.

I dunno, Drake can be pretty alpha when he feels like it. I think he might just play the beta role in order to sell albums to women (and he sells a fucking shit ton of albums to women).

Here are some pretty alpha lyrics from Drake:

Drake Wrote:I got car money, fresh start money
I want Saudi money, I want art money
I want women to cry and pour out their heart for me
And tell me how much they hate it when they apart from me
Yeah, and lately I do bitches the meanest
Tell 'em I love 'em and don’t ever mean it

Drake Wrote:She came through, she brought food
She got fucked, she knew whassup
She think I’m the realest out
And I say damn that makes two of us
Aww that look like what’s her name
Chances are it’s whats her name
Chances are if she was acting up then I fucked her once and never fucked again
She could have a Grammy
I still treat her ass like a nominee
Just need to know what that pussy like so one time is fine with me

I don't think most men can remain as hardcore alpha as a lot of the men here do throughout their lives. I think Drake just transitions between the two based on his mental state at the time and the girl he's with. Hell, even Iceberg Slim quit the pimp game and got married.

The worst part about Drake is his Uncle invented the slap bass technique, and Drake has zero musical skill even with such an asset in his family.

I'd be all over Larry Graham if I could learn the true way to drop down kickass beats

I agree with G. Rappers from the 90s were far better than rappers nowadays.

But there are still solid rappers nowadays, I wouldn't say hip hop is dead.

However, I have to disagree with him on one part - he says rappers back in the 90s got love for what they were putting out, even from the older generations. I don't think that's necessarily true - how come no one has mentioned Common's 1994 track?
