50 fell off

heard all of the good songs about 3 months ago
been a fan of his for a while to the point where i collected all his underground mix tapes since he started

can honestly say his new album is shit

his lyrics are fuckign weak now, really lost his edge

if you like hip hop check out Kanye's new shit

if you like pop music go with 50

simple as that

Curtis is the third studio album by rapper 50 Cent.
The album will be released on September 11, 2007.
Initially, 50 Cent's 2007 album was supposed to
be Before I Self Destruct, however, he decided to
push back its release date to 2008, and to release
Curtis in 2007 instead.

The album's title was changed twice. The first time,
it was changed from "Curtis" to "Curtis S.S.K.".
The "S.S.K.", which stood for "SoundScan Killer",
was intended to show the pressure 50 Cent feels to
succeed. The second time, it was changed back to
"Curtis".

In July 2007, Kanye West changed the release date
of Graduation, his third album, from September 18, 2007,
to the same release date as Curtis, September 11, 2007.
This means that the albums will go head-to-head and
compete for better sales against each other. 50 Cent
claimed that if Graduation sold more records than
Curtis, he would stop releasing solo albums.
However, he later dispelled his comments.

so who will it be? Kanye or 50 :P

doriae86

05-09-2007, 10:46 AM

50 will win the sales race - he always does

Joe

05-09-2007, 10:57 AM

Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full

Ooooh yeah.

What about The Roots? I can listen to "Dont Say Nothin" about 10 times in a row without getting tired of it.

Way too many rappers gone commercial now, although Ice Cube the other night was kickin it old school for pretty much his entire set, that was a throw back to the times when those rappers really had something to say because they were living it. The NWA shit was too good, and although most class that as commercial, you cant deny they really do love their roots and where they came from.

05-09-2007, 11:00 AM

end of the day, i dont care who is real and who isnt, the more good tunes the better.

im downloading 50 atm, see how it is tonight!

Syncope

05-09-2007, 11:22 AM

The Roots for sure. Not many hip hop "groups" going around any more. None that are really relevant anyway. This Roots video pretty much sums up the whole scene; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8l31heyYxQ

Even Kanye disappointed with his latest. Its good, probably great, but Late Registration/College Dropout it is not. As for the whole sales race thing? Brilliant marketing.

I been getting into a lot of the older stuff lately. KRS One & Run DMC.

Never heard of most of these people.

There be some downloading being done tonight. :lol:

Slip_

05-09-2007, 11:57 AM

Yeh the Roots are a classy group. seen em twice in perth and cant fault them.

Black thought and ?uestlove are constantly evolving with thier appetitive for becoming accomplished MC's as opposed to 'Dope Mc's'... so they're moving away from the griitty sound they had back in the day... e.g. Illidelph Halflife... and are evolving and improving as they're grasp on musical composition grows with experience...

When they perform live... its a live sound... not a attempt to reproduce the same prescence they have on wax...

they're mental, really talented. but then again... people have a tendancy to say they're going mainstream... which isn't true. it's just natural progression into a more sophisticated sound as they're actually muscially educated. been to Uni and shit.

and they always... on every new album... regardless of thier new sounds... put togather a hard gritty hip hop track to show they can still do it.

just my opinion, but i aggree with Syncope, they're one of the few true hip hop groups going around with a large prescence in the mainstream.

Binary Star, have a gander. very hip hop, yet very recent.

good new hip hop, its out there, in large quantities, just stashed in crevices that the larger commercial scene forces it into. just have to know where to look ;)

Binary Star are decent, where have they been though? Masters of the Universe was so good then they disappeared. One of the best and most (commercially) slept on groups is probably Pharcyde.

Have you heard of Cunninlynguists? One of my favorites and more active in recent time.

05-09-2007, 12:56 PM

yeh i dunno, One Be Lo has lost some interest apparently.

The last Binary Star activity was really only the solo work by Senim Silla.

album: Senim Silla - The Name The Motto The Outcome - 2007.

they've been stagnant to say the least, but theres word they're looking to release a new Binary Star album feb 2008.

Senim Silla is trying, some say struggling, but they've been bumping heads all 2007 for this new album. so high expectations.

Yeh ive heard many speak highly of Cunninlynguists, i'll get onto em tonight. any albums in particular?

Will do. Most of the stuff listed in this thread is recorded in the phone for me to look up tonight and check out.

yeh those ones are a good start, if we get another thread going im sure we can all come up with some classics.

50's best ever songs for me would have to be
in da club
gunz come out
many men
i get money
gun go off

he always manages to make a few bangers and remain the number one talked about rapper in the game

straight to the bank is up there too without doubt.

magic stick is definitely a winner, was in the clubs for ages.

many men isnt that good.

Brockas

05-09-2007, 10:00 PM

I downloaded both coming into it with a completely unbiased opinion.

Not that big a fan of either, but:

Kanye > 50 Cent.

50's album sounds so monotomous I pretty much nodded off half way through, but at least for once he doesn't spend 90% of the time talking about how much money he's got and what he's going to buy with that money.

Kanye's album isn't as good as his previous 2, but I have a feeling his will grow on me while 50's I'll struggle to listen to again.
Kanye - Homecoming, BOMBED.

05-09-2007, 11:52 PM

fuck all this new school teeny bopper shit, as John said...

"Well I'm Eazy-E, I got bitches galore
You may have a lot of bitches but I got much more"

NWA, Naughty by Nature, public enemy, Run DMC, Coolio, Warren G, etc.

i hear a good hip hop/rap tune once every 3 months now, 50 will never surpass the dent "In Da Club" made in hip hop history, and hes been slowly going down hill ever since, his newer shit sounds like poop.

personal opinion of mine, of course.

Slip_

06-09-2007, 07:36 AM

Syncope... got onto some of cunninlynguists work... bombed.

listening to 'War', right now...
'mic like a memory' feat Kory Calico is also impressive.

10-09-2007, 02:59 PM

I will be at Talib up the front with my rekkids. Heard rumours of Mos Def later in the year too. Pitty they didn't come together for a blackstar gig.

Kanye is > 50 cent. Can't Tell me Nothing is a pretty dope track, especially the beat. Ive never been a fan of 50 cent. I guess he's good for what he does.. popular music on a gangster tip.

Still Common's album is tighter than both of them in terms of releases in this year. Concious hip hop is real hip hop. Still waiting to cop Ear Drum on vinyl. More or Less and Country Cousins are hot tracks. Also check out Mr J Medeiros (of The Procussions - Rawkus) debut LP 'Of Gods and Girls'. Socially concious hip hop with dope beats for the win. Also check out Kenn Starr's Starr Status from 06 - one of the best albums of the past couple of years. Production from illmind. Bring on Little Brother and Foreign Exchange new joints. Production wise DJ Jazzy Jeffs - The Return of the Magnificent (aka The Return of Hip Hop) is the best LP to drop this year.

Hip Hop is far from dead.

have both 50 and kayne now

50 is definitely the club banger album
west's is more "real" hip hop

I reckon both are outdone by Timbalands new album.

either way ive got 3 new albums to enjoy for some time

Yeh Kayne, Mos Def, Talib, Common... most of Rawkus records, Def Jam and familia are shining these days for the Hip Hop community in the more mainstream audience.

another recent goodie, GhostFace Killa... 'FishScale'.... fucking bombed like the streets of gaza...

12-09-2007, 08:43 PM

Like Water for Chocolate will always be on heavy rotation on the 1s and 2s. Thelonius is one of dillas best pieces of work man.

As for this whole kanye thing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-631TgPP2s

His meltdown at the VMA's after he didnt win. It's MTV, who gives a shit. He'll probably pick up a couple of grammys again anyways and beat Common, just like what happened when Be and Late Rego were released.

Even though they're tight and from the same G.O.O.D label, I hope Common picks up mass grammys for Finding Forever.

Ya'll who are into Kanye, BUY Common's Finding Forever. Majority of tracks produced by Kanye with help from Will.I.Am, Devo D, cuts by DJ Premier and one of the last beats created by the late and great JDilla. Common is the best MC in my opinion. One of the most intelligent cats in the game, and has been since the early 90s.

Dont steal real hip hop.

15-09-2007, 04:16 PM

Yeh good vibes was their last show here (minus cut chemist). It was an awesome set, crowd errupted when they performed 'a day at the races'. They rocked hard every visit to perth. They will surely be missed.

Man im loving the graduation cover art hey. Takashi Murakami designed it all, hes the dude who overlooks on all of Kanye's fashion/style in the music vids. I went to planet today and looked through 50 cents cd booklet. Only thing going for that album is a half nakid Ciara on a couple of the pages.

On another note, I'm not liking moshtix at all. Went to get some Kweli tix and they gave me a key card. What happened to the good old days of actually having a physical ticket for a concert ahah, geez.

Don't get me started on what Hip Hop is and what it isn't...
That argument with 'kids' hurts my head!

Just so you know, and for all the fans of 'I Get Money'
here is the vocal sample for the track:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=aY4NATTrl84&mode=related&search=

Easily one of my favourite 'old skool' tracks of all time.
Dope beat and an ill flow :)
Artist is Audio Two, track name Top Billin.
That is when hip hop was hip hop.

I love Kanye and all the work he has done production wise, beat wise and lyrically but I do have to say that Stronger is just pure shit - I hope the rest of the album is better ;)

Talib Kweli will always be the shit! The new album is great besides the country cousins track, that is just shit, not the shit :)

50 works in the clubs and makes even the whitest kids feel gangsta! lol...
