Eminem's new album: King Mathers (I believe it's called) is going to be released this year...boo ya!!
I know this might sounds really dumb but go to the 106 and Park website, check their voting option and download all the songs that you can vote for You might like DJ Khaled's shit...he and T-Pain are all over the radio...ummm Rick Ross, Young Joc, Birdman, Lil Wayne, T.I, Collie Buddz, Kanye West, oh and try Young Jezzy you're probably gonna like him...look@em on itunes ans see if you like anything |

I think he's just looking for beats not really lyrics I love these guys but to the average listener their production isn't always the best quality...where's Common on this list? BTW Lupe is the shit...he's gonna be here in like 2 weeks I can't wait!!

the thing with hip hop/rap IMO (i dont know much) it seems a really nice sounding song comes out, 6 months later it's gone, it's history.
either coz there's like 50000000 rappers out there, or coz radio over-plays everything that people get sick of it or something... idk... |

I think Jay-Z said it best(I'm paraphrasing): No one makes albums anymore. When people can buy music by song and not by album people become focused on the wrong thing aka hits not continuous work of art which equal staying power. MIMS, Rich Boy etc...have become what is known as "ringtone rappers."
I agree but disagree with him also, in order to get me to buy an album it has to be amazing....I was tired of paying 15 bucks for 3 songs...f that!! Master P owes me a buncha money man |

Yeah...I especially don't like Lil' Wayne...he's an ok rapper but ppl swear he's the next Pac/BIG/Jay-Z...he's what I call a Metaphor/Simile rapper....I found this on FB and died laughing:
HOW TO RAP LIKE LIL' WAYNE 1. Pick a Verb. Preferably a verb about running away from the law or from an assailant. I.E. Duck, Run, Dodge or maybe Stop, Drop or Roll. Lil’ Wayne LOVES stopping, dropping and rolling. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 2. Connnect the verb to some sort of simile. This is crucial. Every single Lil’ Wayne line must contain some sort of relatively obvious simile. So maybe you can “duck like Scrooge.” “Run like a bloody nose.” Or even “Dodge like Kansas.” You can do metaphors but try to steer away from doing this too often, lest people think that you are a different ghost-writer. That is bad. Also for bonus points talk about how “sweet” you are. Lil’ Wayne loves talking about being sweet like a Tahitian Treat or some other delicacy high in sucrose. 3. Mention “Slanging Keys.” This is crucial to establish street cred. Don’t pay attention to the fact that Lil’ Wayne’s been famous since 12 and the only thing he knows about slangin’ is that he speaks with it. After all, if you don’t talk drugs how else can you impress the translucent Dairy Queen-white music critics. This way they can also compare you to the Wire. (Just remember to connect all that “slanging keys” talk with a simile). 4. Declare that you are Weezy F. Baby. This will tell listeners who you are. Sure, they probably already know, but adding The “F” in the middle of the name uncertainly adds to Wayne’s level of class. It makes him seem like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Exactly like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Whatever you do, don’t attempt to ascertain what the “F” stands for. That my friends is a slippery slope. And whatever you do, don’t think about what the “F” stands for while looking at a picture of Wayne and Baby making out. 5. Talk about hustling. Music critics love hustling. Presumably, they are devotees to the energetic style of basketball popularized by players like Ben Wallace, Kurt Rambis and Mark Madsen. This will make them feel at home. If there’s anything music writers know about, it’s hustling. 6. Talk about Baby. Call him your Daddy. Forget the fact that he’s not actually your Daddy. Forget the fact that the majority of people that call other men “daddy” are prostitutes. It’s unimportant. Mention something that Baby told you. Maybe that he told you “these b*tches is b*tches.” Or that he told you to “Turn around and stick out.” (Maybe, he was just quoting Sir-Mix-A-Lot.) Ignore the fact that you call a man named “Baby,” “Daddy.” Let’s just chalk that up to being a New Orleans thing. 7. Make some sort of obvious pop culture technology reference. Talk about IPods. Or Myspace. Or gigabytes. Something remotely technological. It will show that Wayne is not completely retarded (just partially) and might have actually read a newspaper once or twice. Which clearly means he is a genius. 8. Talk about how poorly you treat women. Perhaps you can claim how you’ll “never love a b*tch.” Or how you’ll “never give a ho a damn thing.” The more misogynistic the better. This will definitely do much to steer people away from those nasty “gay” rumors. 9. Apropos to nothing, make some sort of remark about Hurricane Katrina. No need to bother making it have anything to do with the rest of the verse. After all, never underestimate white liberal guilt. Any sort of name-dropping will make white liberals feel bad and they will forget the fact that Wayne is a multi-millionaire and anoint him the voice of the people. Also, be sure to make wild ridiculous conspiracy theories like claiming that you heard George Bush blew up the levees. The more absurd the better. Go for it. 10. Proclaim yourself the “Greatest Rapper Alive.” Forget the Fact that Wayne would be lucky to be included in a list of the Top 20 rappers working right now. Most music critics haven’t listened to Hip Hop Made Before 1999 anyway (other than Public Enemy). If you proclaim yourself the greatest, you will be the greatest. Or at least people will be foolish enough to buy this canard. LIL WAYNE IS THE MOST OVERRATED RAPPER ALIVE |
