Based off what? Why do you believe this? Anytime a record is marketed to radio,then they want it to do good at radio. I'm listening MECCA % THE SOUL BROTHER right now,shyt is boring as fukk. Nice quality samples. But weak melodies,shyt's boring.
nikkas make plenty excuses. Pete Rock is a farce. Bunch of boring ass jazz tunes. He should of asked swizz for help instead of hating.
Weak melodies?? And your defending Swizz...okay U got me, I'll stop feeding you.
Beat it,hater
Is hip hop not art to you? If you think it's just a cash grab and you hold those who exploit it for gain in high regard - then Swizz definitely had much more commercial success. Getting play in clubs and the radio became lowest common denominator when Swizz came on the scene. Remember - D4L had a number one hit. Are they better then Pete rock too?
That's not responsive. Swizz had hits. Fast food for the most part. Pete had classic songs, remixes, and most importantly, albums. We're talking apples and oranges here.
I'll give you Nore. But it's questionable at that. The other records are not classics.
Hits don't factor in much for me. Plus they are from different eras. Pete did make classic records/albums. He wins this easily.
Dude named 30 some odd records. Including Beyoncé records. Props to the guy who listed five though. That was at least responsive to my request.
yall did that already. give or take a few that i disagree with.
You saying the records are boring is your opinion.
You are guilty of doing this. See my last post.
Swizz is hip hop. He was just more lowest common denominator type shyt. He just wanted to make hits/money. He never made a classic album and has few if any actual classic records. Nokia he don't dig in the crates and flip samples. He pulled his old stuff off a keyboard.
