    I've been listening to a lot of, "Ready to Die," lately, and I was discussing a friend that it isn't that rap is better or worse... just different lately. Like, there is a sense of urgency when BIG raps, "THAT'S WHAT THE F*ck HAPPENS," on the opening of his first album that is just not there anymore. And, that is because rap dominates the charts. And, that means things are just different for rap.

    That said, this song has a sense of urgency and importance. And, the radio aspect of it is f*cking HOT, old school REAL SCHITT. When he says, "pull your skirt back down, grow a set, man" that resonates.

    that urgency has been missing for too long.

    then this new generation let it dissipate.
    the first for me was 'can't nobody hold me down' by puff.
    any reasonable person will tell you that you can't rap an entire track
    in a tone of voice that says:
    you want boring? i'll show you boring.

    I could listen to Flex and Mister Cee yell and hype up a new track for hours, dudes do it like no other.

    Funny thing, and i was talking about it with Digga, is that it's a euro sample. I actually sampled one song from the same LP in 2001...Janko. RHKTD.

    Its a janko sample isnt it?

    Beat feels kinda sloppy. I guess its cool.

    i am not feeling these new overorchestrated guitar rock hiphop tracks a la kindabigdeal

  • hogginthefogghogginthefogg 6,098 Posts
    Well that was a letdown. I go one further than Bsides; the whole song feels kinda sloppy.

    I thought "Jockin' Jay-Z" was much better.

    It's gonna be everywhere, so there it is : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nznhznznkzz

    And yes bsides, it's mr Nilovic. Funny thing is I had to deal with his publisher to clear a sample from the same LP in 2001. But guitars wasn't trendy as it is nowadays...lol...

    PS :"jockin' jay-z" was unlistenable for me. Never could wait the end of the track. Never liked distorded drums ?? la Rick Rubin anyway. Plus Jay-Z as a topic don't faze me. Autotune is a better topic. Proof is the world is arguing about it since T-Pain flooded the industry. In terms of marketing, Jay is good. In terms of music, i like it too!! Shit, even Common gotta feel it. Jay coming back with his beat mentor. That's a nice surprise. Better than Akon in the hook. At the same time, he's falling for that Drake shit, so it's not safe yet!!!

    Now we just need a DEATH OF 808 SNARES and we're good to go. :-)

    To me its like My President is Black - cool that Jay did it, needed to be done, but man, missed opportunity not making something hot in its own right...imagine if dude made this song and it was a straight banger, no gimmicks, no retro - woulda blown things way outta the water.

    In reality this will be cool on teh internets and in hip-hop gossip circles but I don't see people riding that hard cause the track seems kind of half-assed.

  • izm707izm707 1,107 Posts
    Totally agree. At the same time, it's just a good ol' street track. I don't see it going anywhere. he just had to do it. Marketing baby...

  • pcmrpcmr 5,591 Posts
    i wholeheartedly concur

  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    You guys are nuts. This track is pretty great.

    It's already all over NY radio. Requests were through the roof, according to one DJ. Could soulstrut be out of touch with the streets? :shock:
