Kanye West! - Page 3

berrywoman · 10-07-2005, 01:02 AM

the Roots are ace!!!!!! Been listening to them since back in the day... I think I actually owned the cassette!!! Back in 96 maybe even earlier... they were on Geffen then..

wakedemon · 10-07-2005, 02:01 AM

yea seriously The Roots can't mess up in my book, from Illadelph Halflife up to The Tipping Point, I've been a big fan. That would be absolutely crazy to actually see....Kanye+ The Roots. I wonder what the fusion of the best production hip-hop with the best live hip-hop would be??

But yea MC I understand how you can be turned off by the flashiness of many rap stars. What is even more shocking when you find a flashy one that can back it up with substance (a la Jay Z, Kanye (sometimes flashy, but thats just his personality, Outkast, and Dr. Dre...when he still made music

)

i guess actual lyrics might be perfect here to justify the shine...

For those that think Hov' fingers bling bling'n
Either haven't heard the album or they don't know english
They only know what the single is, and singled that out
to be the meaning of what he is about
And bein I'm about my business, not minglin much
runnin my mouth, that shit kept lingerin
But no dummy, that's the shit I'm sprinklin
The album width to keep the registers ringin
In real life, I'm much more distinguished
I'm like a bloke from London, England
Jeah, you jinglin baby
See I go right back and I bring 'em in baby
Business mind of a Ross Perot, but never lost my soul
-Jay Z

pick up their 1st one.. Do You Want More.....??? Its mega!!

wakedemon · 10-07-2005, 02:07 AM

oh damn that was a major miscue, Illadelph i guess was the first commercial "success" they had or something

Phrenology to me still stands high above the rest

berrywoman · 10-07-2005, 02:08 AM

true true indeed!!!

wakedemon · 10-07-2005, 02:11 AM

you ever had the priveledge of seeing them live?

I saw em at William and Mary University in Williamsburg, they filled up their football stadium, it was a ridiculous show.

Also saw them a couple years back, here in Richmond (surprisingly, nothing happens here, sucks being between VA Beach and DC sometimes haha)

berrywoman · 10-07-2005, 02:38 AM

nope.. havent had the privelge... I;ve seen KRS-1 2x tough.. for like $10 bucks.. or maybe $15... but it was a great show!!

wakedemon · 10-07-2005, 03:32 AM

i guess bein around nyc would be a great advantage to seein him though im sure

well this was about 9 years ago... in Miami... maybe even 10 years ago.. lol

wakedemon · 10-07-2005, 03:45 AM

id presume krs one is a good show no matter where you see him

i saw him once actually....

but it was at an Orioles game

berrywoman · 10-07-2005, 03:46 AM

hellagood show!!! He knows how to put one down..

wakedemon · 10-07-2005, 03:47 AM

well the Kanye West thread has now officially turned into the "anything hip-hop" thread apparently

and this is my 100th post, meaning i have wasted people's time in the triple digits now! sweet

*Justine* · 10-07-2005, 03:48 AM

good work, wakedemon!

wakedemon · 10-07-2005, 03:57 AM

thank you Justine

still on the topic of hiphop- I am still saddened by the breakup of the Fugees. The Score was a ridiculous album that still commands the utmost respect and attention, especially in todays, er, "lacking" rap community. Apparently Dave Chappelle organized a reunion show somewhere last year, but these people need to get back together for at least one more album, see how their collective experiences since 1996 would mesh...strangely enough, this comes back to Kanye West! He's producing Lauryn Hill's new album, and is rumored to be pushing a Fugees record as well. If it happens im willing to wait

mc_squared · 10-07-2005, 10:36 AM

The Fugees are a great example of "putting the music before bling/cash".
Wyclef Jean is a living legend.
Individually they've all done stuff I've liked. Wyclef has also done some "artistic" vids.
Respect!!
