dude is a genius....if u listen to his lyrics closely you'll see why hes where hes at...dude really have a complex understanding of society....he isn't where hes at by fluke....it takes a certain person to truly understand what hes talking about...shyt is beautiful when it finally clicks

Tell us these Gems.

Really don't get the coli sometimes. We all know dude is nice as hell but cats can't give credit when it's due. I can go bar for bar with any of they fav rappers using hov & they'll be here struggling to keep up. It's the roc!

I'll give cred. He is very good but I think he and Kanye are overrated. He hasn't had a good album since the Black album and they people still jock him because he is a great business man, which has nothing to do with rappin. I hate dude voice though and all that ad lib noise he does.

What specific song or album inspired this thread?

 

[Farrinto]

That's why I'm such a huge fan of Hov. He was dropping a lot of gems during the RD/Vol. 1 era.

I always wondered what sign he was making in the cover of that blueprint album

 

[Wildin]

I didnt really listen to him until I heard Renegade....when he said "Do you listen to music or do you just skim through it?" and on The Bounce when he said "They only know what the single is, and single that out to be the meaning of what he is about" and I was like " aight let me listen deeper and see if he's lyin...." I downloaded all the content up until that point and was like "oh shyt, ive been bein fooled by mainstream radio and mtv/bet" I always thought he was just a jersey wearin, du rag havin baller pimpin rapper. I had seen his longevity, as a lot of artist had a couple of hits and then faded away....I truly believe his 'hits' aint what kept him afloat but the songs that didnt get videos and radio play made the CD's worth having, I think we all had those weed plates that had 1 or 2 'hits' and the rest were garbage or you forced yourself to like them because there were 13 other songs on the disc and you paid $20 at Sam Goody and shyt....
