Those songs were good without being all super sunshine pop shit.

....he had a song called "Sunshine." About how his girl was his sunshine. With these lyrics in it.

"You're my sunshine (you're my sunshine),
You're my moonlight (you're my moonlight),
You're the starry skies above me won't you please come down and hug me"

yeah well its no so bad when the songs surrounding that one were amazing, and that one wasn't so bad. but we're talking about an entire album here, till i get there just exemplifies it.

I think were talking about the production here though- Daydreaming wasn't a hard song at all, but the beat was classy as hell

Those songs were good without being all super sunshine pop shit. This is like Common and UMC, shit was just way too pop for people.

Go back earlier, and listen to shit like Failure, or Lupe the Killer. Lupe is spose to be lyrical, not this fucking Chuck E' Cheese bullshit.

I agree that the whole waaaaily chorus ruin a lot of songs. It's not personal but I hate the whole thing of <insert artist here> should make more songs like he did when he first came out shit.

I'm more than likely wrong but It always seems like people try to pick the most obscure and old shit to point to to show that an artist "fell off" and yet if they were stuck on that old shit ( ex. Relapse Eminem) people say that they should evolve and when they do they should do what they used to do. It pisses me off for some reason and it makes some of you seem like spoiled kids in that nothing they do will ever be good enough.

Gaf hates Hipsters and shit but man they sure do act like them a lot.

Lasers is a lazy uninspired record and whoever's is at fault doesn't matter and I get that but I can't stand when people say an artist should do what they used to do.

This isn't the topic for it and perhaps I'm wrong sorry for the rant but this mentality really bugs me.

Sorry. I'mma drop it.

Nah I kinda get where youre coming from- when entertainment dissapoints like in this case, people jump on the hate train real quick.

 

[WanderingWind]

Just saying, let's not make him to be something he's not and has never been. He's always been conscious, nerdy and lyrical. He's also had a ton of pop influences.

But, I just thought it was funny when you said he was never "super sunshine" and shit. I mean, dude wants a hug from his sunshine. It happens, but hard...Lupe was never that.

 

[Pinko Marx]

I don't want Lupe to go back to anything, I just want him to make good music and rap like I know he can. He didn't do that on this record.

And no one means hard as in gutter, we mean dude went hard LYRICALLY.

That song was my shit. Just sayin'.

 

[WanderingWind]

Oh, yeah. Don't lump me in with the haters, either. The Cool is my favorite hip hop record of all time.

dont remind me of that. all it makes me realize is that Lupe can actually do pop well and makes me even angrier at Lasers

[Pinko Marx]

poor Lupe. ;-;
F&L2 better go hard.

 

[WanderingWind]

Yeah, Lu outsmarted himself, it seems. Apparently, Atlantic knew what they were doing when they shelved it.

I'm still buying it though.

I honestly don't have a favorite hiphop album of all time. depends on my mood. like right now i'd prolly say Funcrusher Plus.

Yeah...that's how I am except I often attach to whatever was the last great album I've heard at the time.

I wanna say the Eminem Show, if only because it was the first CD I personally bought and because it's aged the best of the "classic" Em CD's but favorite of all time is a stretch there.

Both of Cudi's Albums are favorites but even I know they are flawed as fuck. P.o.S also has put out good shit but considering I went crazy and bought his entire album discography in one day, i'm having trouble remembering which was form which.

Meh, I'mma go with the Eminem Show

Good job. It's hard, but doable.

Firstly, you have one of my favorite avatars on gaf.


Anyway, I can't narrow it down to just one at the moment but I can definitely say that Cunninlynguists' "A Piece of Strange", Atmosphere's "When Life Gives You Lemons...", and Aesop Rock's "Labor Days" are somewhere in the top 5. Oh, and The Cold Vein.

 

[spindashing]

I cannot possibly narrow down a hip-hop album of all time. I'm no HiResDes with his fucking continent of a music catalogue but I cannot pick only 1 album.

Oh jeez....

Hm, based on what I've heard in the world of Hip-Hop, I would say Wu-Tang Forever. That's such a great album (in my opinion), and I love the song Triumph so much that it secures its spot in my top albums.

But, I'm not as jaded as a lot of you all are (see my above post thanking Devil Theory for the list for helping me), so you guys will probably yell at me for calling that my favorite.

Shinobi would love you.

I'm afraid you've confused me with some other gaf-hopper. I can't even think of what "Till I Get There" is...

36 chambers> Wu Tang Forever

36 Chambers is definitely up there for me. But As High as Wu-Tang Get and Triumph are so damn good....I still get goosebumps every time I hear Inspectah's opening verse in Triumph. He KILLS it.

And the video for Triumph is great xD

Fuck off, I don't give a fuck about you. I was just hoping Shinobi would show up. Fucking junior

I kid I kid, welcome to gaf hop

 

[Pinko Marx]

no ones gunna crucify you if you think Wu-Tang Forever is better than 36 Chambers, tho its not an opinion you run into often, its not unheard of.
Now if you said Raekwon>GFK, we might have to fight.

If Forever is my #1, 36 Chambers is #2.

Haha, I don't think I have a favorite Wu-Tang member. If I had to pick, I would say Method Man and Inspectah. Method's voice is so cool sounding.

 

[PBY]

1. Illmatic
2. 36 Chambers
3. SSLP
4. OB4CL
5. Paid in Full/ Bizarre Ride II (tie, copout I know)

Oh, and the above list changes all the time, but my top 3 are pretty set

I'll bite:
Raekwon>>>>>>>GFK >>>>> Wu Tang Clan/Affiliates

Nothing Ghostface has done can touch OB4CL 1 and 2 imo... and while hes putting out Ghostdini and Apollo Kids, look what the Chef is doing.

 

[Pinko Marx]

we've had this discussion before peterb0y, fall back.

also, I couldn't even narrow my listen down to 5. I made a list of like 15 a while back tho, i'll try to find it....if i feel like it.

oh, but i will say. OB4CL2 wasn't all that, and the best parts of OB4CL were the ghostface verses. He's also made like 2x as many albums as raekwon, and most of them were better than Rae's non OB4CL2 albums.

 

[spindashing]

you got trolled son.

LOL I knew, I just couldn't let it slide.

yo I thought we were boys, WTF is this shit. :lol

In all seriousness Supreme Clientele = OB4CL1 to me. Fishscale is #2. Then goes Iron-Man etc.

Lol, no worries man, I get into this argument all the time. Its a personal preference thing really, I just like Rae's laid back chill delivery versus GFK agitated style

 

[LOZLINK]

Raekwon>Ghostface. When Raekwon is at his best, he'll eat ghostface's food no problem

My All Time Favorite

Common - Like Water For Chocolate

No questions asked, no hesitation, this is it.

This is my first post in this thread, obviously. I've caught some good music thanks to you guys, so I'd like to thank you all for that.

I've also got a question for all. Do any of you write?

Reading the discussion about Lupe, and especially the Common namedrop, reminds me that rappers don't always come correct like we know they can, or rather, like we've seen them do in the past. As a fan, it's annoying and disheartening. I'm wondering how a writer looks at the situation. Do you look at them and think "I ain't even mad, it's hard to always be on your lyrical game" or "It ain't 94 Joe, we can't go back" or do you think "Punk ass rappers need to step their game up, stop releasing all this lukewarm booty"?

 

[LOZLINK]

not even. Ghost has some of the realest verses ever.

Lmao I don't really disagree. Was gonna argue for the sake of arguing, but realized how much effort it was. I reckon they're about even and way ahead of any other wu member in terms of lyrics besides GZA
