I like Art Barr's posts, but sometimes dude rambles for the sake of being a shock jock. Kool G Rap is one of my favorite MCs of all time, but if he thinks Roots of Evil was a better album than Capital Punishment, First Family for Life, or Moment of Truth then we probably will never agree on anything concerning hip hop
First off.
Respectfully.
You just a fan of rap.
You not in no pillar.
For me to be like you know hiphop culture better than me tho. Let alone the actual business of rap. Plus an actual rap album.
as it pertains to actual quality in first listen and review.
For actual purchase.
you have never had any track record in review and you never have an album review and got credit for it. as the definitive review. Just for rap albums.
Not to mention other genres and multiple businesses as well. Nor recognizing other talent and knowing the potential to publically state it and say it in their own actual thread.
In the vast sea of the internet board to board domain to domain.
Back then...
You were not a regarded as the best review on Davey d.com.
to even rival my real time reviews.
as auran dayspring on that board.
Nor to this day.
I like you as a poster.
Yet you have not reviewed or showcased any understanding anywhere on my level. To the point. You can not even reference a point in time. Where you even reviewed an album and rated consistently.
Or even link us to a relevent review thread of yours. With an actual real review that understands any idea of the pillar of emcee'n. Nor the business of rap in the new school way of thought.
You offer sidebar like everyone else. Who only has rap as a gateway. From the very grassroots crew and marketer from Chicago in reg knot or reg know. Where I fit in as the protege. to a goat talent as an emcee. Plus before that my pedigree from breaking as a kid as atari force. To then later as a teen to being so integrated with hiphop. I am known as the underage kid in the venue from before the golden age. Plus a graf crew leader to standout dot one.
To see what you all were marketed.
as a real gateway in real time for decades.
In comparison.
You have Yet to.
show a penchant or knowhow of hiphop culture. To rate a rap album made In the business of rap.
Nor have you ever been known for a great review of talent for a quarter century.
Now as far as review of capital punishment.
Outside of pun doing little Italy.
He surpasses none of the rhymes g rap supplies in his own originality in his own actual skillset on roots of evil.
Pun on release is pun but in being pun.
Pun is completely derivative of g rap and in timeline. Is a complete late start to g rap at 28 years old on a delayed debut. Which needed the actual joe remix to take the best actual rap commercial single of 1998 easy. Yet in that. Every pun record and the impact of that single. Is completely derivative from g rap as an emcee.
To the point, even the rhymes of Punishment incredible arguable goat commercial.impact remix of all time as far as sales a d skill output. Are completely a what if.. of the taboo g rap song that which shall nOt be named
Plus since pun is not directly from g rap's actual family tree. So how in the fukk?
do you think capital punishment verse for verse or direction culturally in emcee skill is on par with the originator g rap. Who on roots of evil.
Lemme First show you the difference between why I am rhr goat and you just side bar. Cool side bar but not greatest of all time legendary..
On roots of evil.
G rap Would start a run. That would start to ask a question. That was since answered finally by rakim on seventh seal. Yet on roots of evil. G rap followed up the best verse of the year.
With arguably the best feature run by an actual past darkhorse for goat to rakim. While also rivaling the best posse/feature cut artist after the golden era in busta. A full decade after the golden era that g tap would hail from.
In every record every verse with no big time commercial style record as well.
So as well as pun rhymes on capital punishment whatever you feel is pun skill showcase in height.
Pun is surpassed in every possible way by g rap in every skill metric you can compare them to.
Plus the other album you stated.
The best rapper on those album lil fame.
Is also completely derivative of g rap. That you should known to apply that same sentiment to the other albums you listed as well.
In that,.....
Capital Punishment is not better than roots of evil. Plus roots of evil showcases what the originator is. Versus an emcee who is a late start and derivative of a then goat candidate is or was?
