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

*in a Dr.Dre kinda way* HELLLL YEEAAH!

I loved the Fugees... I absoloutely loved Lauryn's solo... and if Kanye is doing this one...

I can defo wait as well!!! I was never a big fan of Pras though...

wakedemon · 11-07-2005, 04:18 AM

Pras, yea he was def. just the producer figure in the group, he should be quiet haha

berrywoman · 12-07-2005, 12:03 AM

so what do you think of Common's new one???? BE.. I think its the best stuff to come out in a hot minute!!! lol This IS what hiphop is all about... true lyrics and word play...

wakedemon · 12-07-2005, 12:37 AM

yea BE has been a long time coming, an underappreciated artist (who was stuck in a groove of cameos and neo-soul niches) finally puts out what he is fully capable of

berrywoman · 12-07-2005, 01:15 AM

well his early stuff is just as great... you should check it out if you havent already... I Use To Love H.E.R is amazing!!! First song I ever heard from him.. and I was hooked..

wakedemon · 12-07-2005, 05:05 AM

it was a struggle to catch onto his style, his flow is so sporatic and seemingly disjointed on the surface, but it hits parts of the beats that dont even exist and brings that to surface as opposed to rhyming on the end beat of every bar and emphasizing it, like the Beastie Boys. They've had the same damn flow for 20 years and nobody is catching onto this. 1 raps most of the line, then the line ends with all 3 screaming the last word. It's annoying as hell.

berrywoman · 12-07-2005, 05:20 AM

ahhh but the Beasties are LEGEND!!!! Come on!!!

wakedemon · 12-07-2005, 05:42 AM

yea they are legends, i agree that they were a neccessary step in the growth of rap. THey took rap to suburbia, which in turn gave hiphop the much needed money to really take off. Of course, this also enabled very very baaaaddddd rappers to get signed etc etc, but hey, its a war of attrition, this world of music searching

wakedemon · 12-07-2005, 06:10 AM

You know who has surprised me though...The Clipse

They have the ultimate hookup in having the Neptunes as friends (go back to earlier days in Virginia- hometown heros!), so all their beats are gonna be catchy and innovative, however even though i was very wary of an all-Neptunes produced album, considering i was expecting that would be the only thing going for it, Lord Willin turned out to be very good indeed!

berrywoman · 12-07-2005, 10:35 PM

not a big fan of the Clipse.. but the Neptunes are bananas!! I think they have a very distinguished sound.. you can always tell when they produced something...

wakedemon · 13-07-2005, 07:14 PM

i met Chad Hugo (the "other guy" of the neptunes) in an airport once, that was kinda cool

SeanC · 14-07-2005, 01:11 AM

kanye, hmmmmm, he is one clever guy but his songs are over played!!! I cant stress the torture and its frustrating vibe!

wakedemon · 15-07-2005, 02:40 AM

well i mean, i guess its a good sign that he's getting airplay and that people seem to be yearning for better music on hiphop radio

too much trash otherwise

berrywoman · 15-07-2005, 02:47 AM

the real shame is that not enough people know true hiphop.. and all they do know is JaRule and Lil'Jon as hiphop..

wakedemon · 15-07-2005, 03:39 AM

i just get mad that the Lil Johns and JaRules are the reasons people hate rap, because most people (that i know, anyways) are very quick to make judgements about genres of music just from those they see all over MTV and on crappy radio
