You nikkas really gotta grow the fukk up man. Criticizing a female related anything does not mean "yawl hate wimmin"
That line of thought is about as basic as Rapsody's songwriting capability.
Stumbled my way to track 10...I've heard enough
This chick is not a good rapper man. Doesn't have the voice for it, her lisp doesn't work in her favor like G Rap, her delivery is about as flat as the bottom of a 2 liter, and on the low, this chick is name dropping more than Game. Ok, I can understand the tracks being named after prominent black female figures/entertainers and injecting references in songs....but that's quite literally ALL she's doing. It's not compelling, it's you doing a few Google searches and looking for a half-assed punchline. and yes, she got some dudes mixed in here too. And yes....she's still all over Jay's dikk.
She wants to show a proud black woman SO BAD and on the surface, that's a beautiful thing, but there's nothing beyond that. No depth, no insight, no nothing. Just a hashtag and a dark colored emoji fist is about all it's worth on here.
Beyond that, Maya was the only beat that caught my ear but I'm not putting up with this broad to hear the rest.
9th alienated Little Brother and most of the Justus League for this?
Man if you don't get this "I wish I had ovaries" shyt the fukk outta here
I don't care what's in your pants or who you lay down with, if the shyt ain't up to par, I'm calling it as such.
Rap is a great rapper.
The content is important, necessary, carefully considered, appreciated.
The music itself seems flat. I hear this and I'm encouraged to reach back to NoName's album and the music is just more involved or invokes more feeling while delivering similar content and themes. To that point, Rap has to be careful to not fall into that Talib, Lupe other "conscious" rapper trap of "hey, what I'm talking about matters. So like it". It can get heavy handed at times, to me anyway, and I like shyt like that often times. But the album is conceptual in that way so it's fine.
This has some repeatable spots though. I'll give more chances for sure cause she's a good enough rapper to warrant it.
not better than LB or Soul on ice 2 but its definetly a top 5 contender
Yeah damn shame 9th fukked over GQ too for Rap
She kill me with the Jay sucking and she just sounds so bland.
GQ still Jamla. Pretty sure he's the only original member besides Rapsody still on the label.
9th did the beat with the Phil Collins sample flip, the joint with GZA, the track with Cole, and the track with JID and SiR. I think that's it.
E14 is one of my favorite albums
He's dropping projects still but I guess you're right his push isn't the same
Bro, I been trying to find Halo for a while now. he's like Legacy. Gone in the wind. Guy always kind of moved in silence.E14 is one of my favorite albums
What happened to Halo and Act Proof?
My only gripe is I wish that either A: the drums had come in earlier or B: she had rapped another 12 bars or so over the drums before the outro poem. I was really starting to grove and then it just kind of cuts out.I can't get past the first track
BTW I'm pretty sure most producers think sampling Phil Collins is played out, but It's be curious to know some takes on it? @SoulController @TEKBEATZ @head shots101 @darealvelle @Youseenmywork @Urbanmiracle @amillerjr @pawdalaw @MurderToCassette @Double Burger With Cheese @Ace of the Metropolitan I wanna say I've never heard that specific part of the song chopped up before. Are my ears basic for thinking this flip is pretty fresh? I wanna say I don't even hear many vocal samples from this, and mostly just the melody being sampled.
