i think it gives it a gritty, grimy type feel to it i quess like its comming for a real G who can't afford to record at a studio.
damn, too lazy to type up all my favs, but ill go down my iTunes and name a few: Dj Shadow Dr. Dre Eric B Rakim Eyedea & Ablities Gang Starr All Wu Tang Clan/solos Hieroglyphics Jedi Mind Tricks Jeru the Damaja J5 Kanye West KRS-One eh, im out
Kanye is waaaaay overrated, plus he's too damn cocky for his own good. Anyway, going back to AZ, yeah, I know the album is pretty old, but I've just recently been getting into his music, and I heard good stuff about Aziatic, hence why I bought it. I used to know about him only from Nas' Affirmative Action (arguably one of the best rap songs ever made IMO), and a few collabos with Cormega (ill artist).
kanye is a way overrated rapper, kanye is rated just right as a producer imo yea but saying "sence pac died yall don't deserve a track from me"(that a possible miss-quote, its off of LR.)is pretty cocky first time i heard AZ was on Lifes a Bitch off of illmatic ___________________________ and i hope this is true: Rumors recently began spreading that Mega was slated to appear on Nasty Nas' forthcoming effort, Nasdaq Dow Jones. Though he denied the rumors, Mega confirmed that he and Nas were once again on good terms. In a message posted on www.cormegasite.com's forums, Mega Montana told his fans that he and God's Son have made peace and were hoping to collaborate on future projects. "To be honest Nas called me around the time my grandmother died and he said what he had to say about our differences and that he wants to put it aside etc. I let him talk and for the 1st time he sounded sincere. But me and son will meet up face to face soon and then decide what's good but he do wanna ---- with me because we got history!" Mega wrote in the message. Cormega is one of the original members of The Firm, the super group that also featured Nas, Foxy Brown and AZ. Mega was eventually replaced by Nature. Tension between Mega and Nas soon followed. While their relationship was rocky, the feud escalated with a series of disses in songs and interviews. Mega released the single, "---- Nas and Nature" while Nas took shots at Cormega and Prodigy on "Destroy & Rebuild off 2001's Stillmatic. _________________________ it would be ill if NaS, AZ and Cormega did a colab album
Damn, that would be dope as hell. And yeah, Kanye's cocky as sh*t. I remember those articles on some german magazine where he was like "wtf does nas have on me?" "he ain't ever made an album as legendary as College Dropout," as if he forgot that Illmatic is considered by many as one of the greatest albums in hip-hop history. Or when he was touring around the country, f.cked up some city's name (as in, called it detroit when it was st. louis, for example...forgot the actual names), and then after hearing all the booing, started saying stuff like "why are y'all booing me for? I saved hip-hop!" or some stupid sh.t like that. He's an OK producer, but the credit he's received has gotten way too into his head.
ya, kanye as a producer>kanye solo right now im watching "Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme." its an awesome documentary if you havent seen it. Go rent it
thats a great list i agree with everyone of em JMT is falling off though same with Kris. [/b][/quote] I agree. wicked list that guy had there. but some of that stuff is no longer good IMO. like Kanye. i dont like him. and i think Kris is still good, his songs still rule. like now your phucked, freestyle ministry and stop skeemin.
