Hot 97 - One Gotta Go: Kanye West, Dre, Pharrell or Timberland

[FreshAIG]

Yes. Name me some classic bars, verses, that outshined Pharrell production. Matter fact, make a thread on this. Because you are the first person I've ever heard mention that Clipse were best known for their lyrics over the production. You acting like these nikkas were spitting lupe bars instead of the typical generic braggadocios east coast coke raps

Clipse are considered one of the greatest rap duos ever for their lyrics. You're talking insane right now. I've never heard someone ever question whether or not Pusha and Malice were dope lyricist.

 

[FreshAIG]

are you dismissing Pharrell out the bunch?

Not out right dismissing him but if we're ranking importance as to why those Clipse albums are dope, Pusha and Malice rapping ability is at the forefront.

If this is just about producing, then Kanye gotta. The nikka has always been more concerned with being a rapper.

i chose ye...but now i'm thinking it should be pharrell...i don't know, this is hard

 

[ORDER_66]

never heard of him. but i never listened to the radio or heard a rnb song in my life.

YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ANY OF THESE SONGS?!!?! what year was you born in, age, was you in a coma?!?! Timbo was a fukking BEAST!!! nikkas keep forgetting he held shyt down for damn near 2 decades...

To the nikkaz saying pharrell is mind boggling...the neptunes literally DOMINATED radio (all genres) in the early 2000s and still put out quality music to this day... If you wanna be petty i can pull up stats for you...

Dre hasnt been as consistent as some of the other legendary producers , but that dudes resume is amazing. From producing NWA, to snoop, em, 50, game etc... He doesn't just make classic records he makes superstars...

Kanye as an artist make people overlook his production resume. Classic after classic...

Timb is cool but he just doesn't have enough joints or accolades as a producer to compete with them... Dont get me wrong dude is an all time great but nah...

Malice is not. Push a is ok. He's improved greatly since he first came up but still drops trash verses from time to time.(move that dope) Malice not even rapping anymore shows how he was viewed.But where are these lyrics? 3 post and no receipts on anything



Edit: did you say clipse are one of the greatest dous of all time? Not even top 10

I disagree off the top.. I do have to go back and visit The Clipse albums

Virginia, Cot Damn, Grinding, Mr Me too.. were more beat driven dope than lyrics.. But, let me revisit

i was born in 95 and never listened to the radio. always had cds and mp3s. never heard an aliyah or justin timberlake song in my life tbh

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Probably Neptunes, they have the least classics.
1. Dr. Dre(no comments)
2. Timbo (counting all genres, strictly hiphop he's in the bushes)
3. Kanye(never delivers anything below dope as duck, sad that he stopped doing rnb)
4. Neptunes (hitmakers, talented musicians and made classics with clipse and one or two Jay songs but it's not enough)

What are the classics you give Timbo and Ye?

out the thread until you do breh.

Timbo's work with Aaliyah and Ginuwine got him poppin..his work with Timberlake was also his last good work.

Pharell gotta go. This is easy. Kanye aint on timbos level either. He and pharell would tell you that themselves...

Folks sayin timbo cause he is most behind the scenes of the 3 and not as popular.
