You're welcome.
And what's with hoLmes airing out his asshurtedness with Pharell on a song called "Emotionless?"
Pushing the boundaries of the photoshop feather tool to the limit
this does not sound encouraging.
there are good songs on this mixtapes and great lyricks by Pusha...
worth checking out...i disagree with the fact that the clipse are done...I beleive this tape to be promising give it a listen
I don't know why anybody would allow a lukewarm response from a bunch of SoulStrut dudes to temper their anticipation; it's not like most of these dudes even like rap.
lol
Oh well, I just skipped through the first couple of tracks and it's sounding pretty good to me, feeling the beat selection so far (Roc Boys, Good Morning & Dey Know).
I don't keep up with The World of Rap real well, so I'm hoping maybe someone more informed can help me out with a small matter: In the first verse of "Cry Now", is dude rapping "Ain't no King-dreamin', cheek-turnin' and talkin' out / Ask Vick, ask Tip: they still lynchin' in the South"? That's what I hear when I listen to it, but I'm wondering if 1) the tune's ATL references ("Walk It Out", MLK and/or King) and 2) the whole record's air of Everybody Must Get Dissed (just when you thought it was safe, King Sun!) just have me imagining a phantom T.I. dart where one doesn't exist. Is there some actual Clipse/Clifford beef that I would know about if I read more, or am I just hearing things?
I think that Swizz beat is from Ruff Riders' "Scenario 2000" (although it's not actually a track I've heard in ~9 years)--it was never clear to me what the connection between that cut and the original "Scenaro" was supposed to be, other than they are both posse cuts.
I am not really seeing that.
Also not seeing the reason for the hate directed at this tape.
A lot of dudes - particularly those of middling talent - succeed principally through the traffic of passed opinion, which cushions their relative lack of ingenuity in a virtually impenetrable shield of nonplussed "over it"-ness... as if to imply that anyone who's truly hip will not only follow their taste, but think a bit more highly of their product itself than might otherwise be warranted.
^^^REGIONAL BIAS^^^
b/w
^^^THE MAN WHO PUT THE "TEAL" IN A.T.L.^^^
Nah, I'm not sure how much I'm really seeing it, either; I just can't for the life of me figure out what the last part of the line is. I probably need to quit copping downmarket ear buds at Walgreen's. What can I do, though--THEY GOT 'EM FOR CHEAP.
You know about T.I.'s recent arrest for purchasing fire-arms, right?
He's been confined to his house for the past four months.
A legal lynching in the view of the brothers Thornton--more a gesture of solidarity than a dis.
"Ask Vick, ask Tip: they still lynchin' in the South"
not having actually heard it, mind you, I'd say the meaning is pretty clear: two residents of the South who caught charges this year. I guess dudes consider the charges to have been bogus, i.e. that these dudes were unfairly singled out/persecuted. Where's the percieved T.I. diss?
I can't answer this but I do want to say that the King Sun diss (albeit indirectly) just about killed me.
Oh shit--I did know about that (there was a circulated photo with, like, a picnic table full of seized guns, right?), but had forgotten entirely. That would certainly explain the line, then, as well as the context (pairing him with Michael Vick).
As a token of my appreciation for this clarification, I have renewed your subscriptions to Murder Dog and Callaloo. RE-UP, RE-UP!
Seriously, though: Thanks, dude. That was bugging me.
dude.
I'm starting to feel that the belief in the first two volumes' "realism" is a bit overstated.
You can say my name, you know. I won't be offended.
Sayin' though, who said they hated it? I said it bored me, 40ozking didn't listen to it and Siro said it "still got some things on there."
You like it as much if not more than the first two? Cool. You want a cookie or something?
Cheeky.
Did you really think that the first two volumes were chock-full of "realism"?
But how do the skreets feel about The Clipse getting a large amount of love from hypewearsupremehardasfuckturntablelab types, dare I say, more so than any other audience?
do we have any reason to believe folks were feeling the got it for cheaps more than gucci mane
I play it a lot though.
Don't know what that says about The Clipse's music. I'll leave that to you guys.
I don't know what the skreets feeling, that's why I'm asking Soulstrut. I think it's very safe to say Gucci Mane is a bit more on peoples radar. Dude had 3 LARGE radio hits and two of them being recent.
