Has today's trash music softened your opinions on the commercial shyt from the past?

[letti cook]

[Poetical Poltergeist]

i would get clowned back in the day if i played that shyt but now it sounds like some classic shyt from back in the day

That album has some nice cuts

@MoneyBags is obviously a

stan.

LOW KEY R.U.L.E. was a damn good album. As much as I wanted to stan 50, I couldn't front, R.U.L.E. had bangers, singles, and a few heavy tracks. Lloyd OWNED that album and put it over the top. His hook on "Where I'm From" mixed with Ja whining on the beat used to have a nikka on rainy days breh




We really need to be nicer to Ja, guise...

Kids get killed in ghettos
Shot up over their Carmelos

While they mom was at home
Tears hitting the pillows



The emotions and imagery is just

Ja is underrated. Period.

Going back and listening to his music is just

Ja's discography >

's


Try and go and listen to Candy Shop

Sounds super stale, lyrics are ass, beat is garbage. Nothing is good about it now. And that goes for most of his music.

had everyone fooled...

[Monoblock]

Ja did have a few jams that I was head nodding to.


I'll never forget Bobby Brown being loaded as hell in that Thug Lovin video it was hilarious.

He didnt have many tracks like this but SHyne was the only person I felt did that shyt right.

nikka, who are you telling? Candy Shop is the one of the WORST singles i ever heard in my life, that hook was cringe worthy and that wack ass Arabian beat was trash. the Massacre was the end of 50, he was spittingg so much ABC cat in the hat rhyme bullshyt I ever heard. Ja Rule was and still is wack though. How the fukk you a Ja Rule stan? WTF? I thought only teenagers and girls liked that nikka

 

[MoneyBags]

nikka that's a classic.. a got damn classic

we'll have to agree to disagree. that pop ass beat and below average rhyming from Ja...Case's portion of the hook was the only part I thought was decent.

[I love Latina women]

this song gets hated on but i heard it on the radio today and was noddin' my head to it like it was the greatest shyt ever lol

it's not what most if any fans of nas want to hear from him but the song won't that bad and it's far better than the commercial shyt of today, by miles

that beat

More and more converts these days

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

More and more converts these days

they arent next level lyricists but damn that shyt is fun to listen to

Lowkey I was a 50 stan in high school & rode the wave, but when you think about it...


50 CANNOT make a song like Ja's "Where I'm From" or "Caught Up"


The emotional aspect doesn't resonate with listeners. Ja really had that sensitive thug act down to a T. Even though he might or might not have been official in the streets, bytches BELIEVED he had that soft side. 50...not so much, he was much more formulaic in his single-making, and came off forced when he tried to convey emotion for the most part, concerning women.


IMO Ja was somewhat of a ladies man. Since when did having a deep or raspy voice NOT get you bytches? 50 moreso took Ja's lane b/c of the beef/newness/and his physique. I don't think he quite filled that void Ja left, if that makes sense. And "Where I'm From", 50 could never hit you in the heart like Ja could on a track like that. 50 might be the more street nikka, more official & all that, but like I said, conveying emotion (other than anger/hatred/successful happiness) isn't 50's strong suit. Not stanning either one of these guys, just stating my opinion. Facts.
