This new Smif N Wessun reggae EP > Distant Relatives

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

All I said was it's better than DR. Which it is. You then became mad.

That's not all u said bootleg bar... Quote your own post about DR fans being silent etc.

Anyway play ya music man its Saturday. Don't throw salt to big up some shyt next time then hide ya hand when u get called out.

Honestly..I fukks wit it..but there's songs on DR that are far better but u won't admit that tho..lol...it's a dope project on it's own so that's all that matters honestly..

I truly think Distant Relatives is awful. From beats to rhymes. Just awful. Now this on the other hand is some dope reggae flavored stuff.

Are paying homage to Art by saying "hide ya hand" (ironic considering that's what he accuses Nas of doing regularly) in a thread accusing me of biting his style?

Don't ask me how.

Ur opinion bro..I feel both are dope...And I feel there's songs lyrically and beat wise on DR better than anything on this album..especially lyrically from Damian Marley...no contest...

That's a common phrase in this language called English. Unlike you I don't look up to a 40 year old poster on a rap board like a father figure which is ironic because your also 40+. Lol @ this nikka thinking art is responsible for everything.

You dumb motherfukker. I make a coherent thread and out of the blue you bring Art up then proceed to employ one of his more humorous go to phrases while huffing & puffing.

Get from round me you vile nerd.

The beats are so bad though. I think I liked one song kinda where junior was singing. I expected jamrock and got jungle book

Son u think Land Of Promise was wack?..Nah Mean was wack?..Leaders was wack?..Africa Must Wake Up was wack?..

 

[Big Mel]

i don't be knowing the names. there's one where Dam sings over a slightly fruity guitar that was kinda pleasant. that's all i recall.

Check the tracks I named..those are the ones with the more traditional reggae sound..

Downloads don't equal sales/popularity

What I'm saying is that big Mel can't suggest this album shut shyt down when it hasn't been heard by enough people yet. This debate is happening in his head maybe but def not in public anywhere.

Downloads dont equal popularity

And it has shut shyt down in his opinion.... do u wait for public opinion before you form your own on everything

 

[DaveyDave]

the Smif N Wessun joint has a more traditional reggae sound whereas DR is more modern. on a side note i didn't know K Salaam & Beatnick were from Oakland

 

[Big Mel]

Yeah. And I prefer traditional reggae to a post Sean Paul best of both worlds attempt with all the trappings of bad mainstream production colored thru a dancehall lens.

Sales = popularity

Downloads = notoriety

U need to be spoon fed breh? Meek mills breaks the internet when he drops a new mixtspe but sells like crap for example. If you say something shut critics down then your assuming the critics have heard it which they haven't cuz no one know about this. It was not about his opinion he claimed it like it was unanimous.
