As you probably know, I do these now and then like roaches does. So here we go..
*I'm now fully convinced that Cormega is just as dope a rapper as Nas and Az. Cormega isn't new to me by any means, but one of my boys got me listening to him a LOT more than I used to. I knew he was dope, but he's doper than I thought and he has a lot of good music. Nas has made a much bigger impact on the game than Mega and Az, but as rappers, thet are more equal than a lot of people think imo. Long story short, Mega is a vey, very dope rapper.
* I am late in saying this, but that Game song "Pain" is dope. I remember reading a thread someone on another website made and they compared it to Biggies "Juicy" and said it's the type of song that won't get old. I have always liked Game.. even though he dissed 50 too many times. He's dropped 2 DOPE albums and I think his third will be good as well. A lot of people hate on dude, but I thin he keeps it realer than a lot of these other bullshit rappers. He shows emotion. So what?
* The new Nas album is nice imo, but I can understand why some people think he may have fell off a little. Nas is Nas and to me he's still dope, but I want to hear Nasty Nas a LOT more than I want to hear the Nas who makes songs like "fried chicken" and "n.i.g.g.e.r.". To me, Hip Hop Is Dead was a nice album. Know what I mean?
* Busta Rhymes. He's been around a long time going all the way back to Leaders Of The New School. He's dropped a good number of solo albums. He's been pretty consistent i'd say. Why do you think people dont't put him higher on lists or their own personal top 10, etc?
* I haven't talked about them in a while on here, but are there any other big Little Brother fans on this board? My boy put me on to them way back arouns when their first album dropped and i've been a huge fan since. They have so much dope music and they are great live. I have seen them 3 or 4 times. On a sad note, I read somewhere that Phonte and Pooh may never make an album together again. I like their solo shit (Phonte and Nicolays "Connected" album is amazing), but that was a blow to hear that they might not drop another group album.
* Raekwon's OB4CL 2 is taking too damn long to drop. What the fuck Rae!
* I can not fucking wait for another Pharoahe Monch album. Desire was ridiculous and his live performance at Rock The Bells was my favorite performance ever. And i've seen a lot of people. Most multiple times. Dude might be THE best ever lyrically. He's just bananas. Better than Pun, Black Thought, Big Daddy Kane, G Rap, Big L, Rakim, Canibus, Nas, Em, Hov and the rest of them. And who is fucking with his flow anyway? You heard his verse on that one Immortal Technique song? I forget the name, but I think I posted it within the last month.
* Rock The Bells 2008 is gonna be incredible! I finally get to see A Tribe Called Quest! And De La Soul and Pharcyde as well! This will be my third time seeing Nas, but seeing him is always a pleasure. I get to see Rakim again also. Rae and Ghost i've seen probably 8 or 9 times, but again, a pleasure every time. The lineup is sick and I can't fucking wait!
