    And you acting all indignantly bent out of shape because a rapper has decided to incorporate a dancehall vibe into his usual repertoire, something that has been done to death lately -- and almost universally poorly --[/b] , is totally legitimate[/b] .

    it'd be hard to top the hip-hop trifecta of Accepted Eclectic, Love And Hate and Magnificent City[/b]



    I did like "Accepted Eclectic." At least, I think I did. Lemme thumb through my old URBs...

    Has anyone heard the Sinead O'Connor reggae-themed album? I haven't, but I bet it's not that bad. But then, I think I'm the only dude on here who rides for the 12-inch version of "I Want Your Hands on Me (feat. MC Lyte)" from Sinead's first record.

    Put 'em on
    Put 'em on
    Put 'em on
    Put 'em on me.

    PS I don't really like reggae.

    It's not an album; just a single. The hook is something like:

    Put dem 'pon
    Put dem 'pon
    Put dem 'pon
    Put dem 'pon I.

    Put dem 'pon
    Put dem 'pon
    Put dem 'pon
    Put dem 'pon I

    Sounds a little too much like reggae for I to like it.

  • Although this man has always struck me as cornball, even when he is at his best. I take that Aceyalone/RJD2 terd of last year over this terd any day.

    The more records you consider as terds the more of a man you are.

    Why exactly is that?

    I just deleted all his albums except for All Balls Don't Bounce from my computer to make room for record day. Don't miss them.

    I once asked him if it's true he got served by Juice when he was in Chicago. He got pissed off and walked away (oops!).

    I think I'm doing a show with him next month too

    To keep from punching you in the eye for asking such a loaded, pissbwoy question.

    That single is pretty bad and is obviously a veiled attempt to get his music in the clurb without "selling" out.

    I dunno it sounds like any reggae influenced pop-track (almost reggaeton) in the last few years, all highs, no bottom, and borrrring.

    And really though, whats up with the mohawk? I mean isn't dude in his late 30s, pushing 40? eriosuly? Mohawk?

    PS. I do appreciate his attempt though, at least he is trying something interesting, I just think it sounds poorly executd listening to that track.

    Bah. That's not the shit I asked verbatim, Robbie.
    I respect what he and FF have done, but I'm not a nut rider for anyone, let alone your idols.
    That said, it was just a rumor I heard and wanted to know the deal. Juice was just coming up back then and making some noise.

    I'm just not really detecting the vast gulf between the supposed contrived idiocy of Acey's new single versus say the supposed natural genius of Kanye's new single.

    I mean, I clearly see why one is better than the other. But they are both cheesy to me in many of the same ways...so again, I don't at all see them as night and day to the point of putting one dude on a pedastal versus pridefully shitting down the neck of the other.

    Again, what people hate and how, often times says more about them than it does about the subject at hand.

    And to clarify that a bit further, just like when Magnificient City came out, or Temptations for that matter, I just don't get the degree to which Acey gets hated on...especially by dudes who probably at one point had much of their personal hip-hop identity based on Fellowship-originated trends.

    In other words, hate yourself on your own watch.

    Fact > Rumor...

    Juice was part of a team (along with Eminem, Wordsworth, and Kwest tha Madd Ladd I think it was) that got duly served by a team of Ace, PEACE, Khule, and Ridd at the Rap Sheet Rap Olympics circa 95-96.

    This was a 1 on 1 thing around 96' or '97 that took place in Chicago. Could be the same thing tho.

    uhh i hope this wasn't directed at me because my consensus of the new kanye album was pretty much straight up trash.

    Nah. It's an album.

    Haven't heard it, but the single (burning spear cover?) sounded kind of nice.


    as for acey - I also want someone to answer what hip hop artist has done something like this lately? I can't think of anyone.

    Acey's not invinsible. Maybe he took an L...but then again, so did PEACE when he visited the Midwest.

    Why exactly is that?

    Aceyalone has done some decent shit.. he just sounds like he's faking it through this whole record.

    Faking what? The songs I've heard he's rapping in a similar style to his norm, just maybe not as effectively as he used to. I've yet to hear him actually trying to sound Jamaican.

    Faking it as in "I'm not really feelin this beat, but I'll rap over it anyway and see if this saves my failing career".

    I get your point...i.e. uninspired...so thanks for responding.

    But reducing rap music to a study in career trajectory is L A M E.

    Many of my favorite rappers are in and out jail...thus their career's are going nowhere. But damned if they don't make good music.

  • The biggest mistake of my career. See what pussy does to you? All types of crazy shit, Annalillia has been on this whole natural lifestyle these past few years and one thing lead to another and....damn.....I have a Frickin' mohawk?!!!!?!??!
