Joel Ortiz

[choppa]

What do yall think of him? I was listening to "The Brick" again and I think he's hot. I think he's kind of in the same boat as Joe Budden as far as him not getting the publicity he needs. What do yall think?

 

[Euphanasia]

I just heard that one song from him that was released about a year ago. I think it was called "Hip Hop" or something and it was great.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

he's one of my fav artists. shame he left aftermath though. he should probably go to koch records where he released "the brick: bodega chronicles", which by the way he is planning to release a second version of soon.

 

[S O F I]

I heard his album and I don't like him.

 

[linx]

I heard his album and I don't like him.

Why?

He's pretty dope to me. Not incredible though.

 

[S O F I]

I don't resonate with anything he says. He's not entertaining, doesn't say anything really interesting, vocal tone isn't unique, etc.

I don't look at a rapper and think "Oh, look, he's saying how much he loves hip hop and how he's bringing the "real" hip hop back and tell myself, "OK, I should like this guy."

Same with Papoose.

 

[linx]

I never got into Papoose, lol. Anyone else think it was funny how in his Fat Joe diss, he's dissing dude then just breaks out in some lyrical shit? lol. As far as Joell Ortiz goes, i've always liked him. He's not one of my favorite rappers or anything though. Like I said, he's nothing incredible, but he's better than alot of the rappers you hear now.

One of the reasons I like him is because I can relate to the things he says.

 

[S O F I]

Such as?

I haven't listened to every one of his tracks, though.

 

[choppa]

I just relate to how he feels about life. Here's a song that I personally like a lot.

 

[S O F I]

^I don't remember that track, but it's really tight.

Nobody is saying anything interesting.

Joel Ortiz's charisma is charming the least to say. He is one of few who I can watch and listen. Unlike rest of them who just clown and waste time.

 

[choppa]

There's a couple more like that off the CD but I can't think of the names off the top of my head.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

block royal, modern day slavery, hip hop, brooklyn bastards, 125 part 1 2 3 4 and 5, caught up, keep on callin.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^I don't remember that track, but it's really tight.

One of my fave tracks of his.

Funny thing I think hes good but havent checked anything recently of his.

 

[Tekneek]

This is my shit,

But I guess you gotta be hispanic to understand.

 

[Bachaveli]

Yea you do.

But its so dope, you can see the shit in him he is bringing, you cant help but to embrace it. But it would be weird to pump this for someone like me whos not Latino. Plus, someone like me who lives in Brooklyn would be somewhat odd.

 

[choppa]

I know this thread's died down, but here's a freestyle he did on KISS100. I think it's dope:

[Rukas]

That 125 part 4 is dope. I guess I gotta leech dudes album and give it a listen. I heard a bunch of his shit before and wasnt all that impressed but I will give him a second chance.

 

[choppa]

Yea, sometimes it takes a second listen hah. Anybody know when his second album is dropping?
