GTFOH WITH THIS BS!! Rakim's "mahogany" was like 76 bpm. These guys never heard a slow rap song? Oh I get it, when they hear slow bpms, they want someone rapping in triplets..

Or maybe they want their vocals not to be from another beat

I feel like My Life I Real beat should have been NYSOM pt. 3 instead

Come on, breh, you’re always on go

If he hadn’t mentioned someone like Roxanne Shanté or Lauryn Hill that would’ve been glaring

My post wasn’t intended as any kind of serious critique because like I said I love the song

With that said, it seems like it’s an honor to be shouted on the song and just curious who got left out




Thank you! Perfect example. There was a point in the 90s when she was probably my favorite female emcee. She just had a unique flavor with how she looked and how she rapped. I remember she had a photoshoot in the early 2000s that was crazy because it was a sharp departure from her tomboy style and showed she had sex appeal on top of the rap skills.

I never looked at da brat sexually until this picture

problem is the beginning on the album..scrap the first 4 tracks and leave rest and create an opening with better beats

No matter how much I try those 4 tracks are horrific to my ears, I can't sorry

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

this album could be dope at like 5-6 songs

came out exactly like i predicted for years but purists wasn't trying to hear that. i start with git ready and skip everything until writers then it starts to pick up.

could have kept it short and sweet

This is what playlists are for.

For every person that hates certain songs, there are others who love them.

At this point, I couldn’t imagine the project without all the songs. I look forward to the OG leak of MSYS with AZ.

That Young Kings track is beautiful. Seems like a different approach production-wise for Preme.
