I think Waka is trolling every other serious hiphop artist. How frustrating would it be to be struggling to make it in the industry meanwhile watching Flocka make tons of money and acquire fans all the while admitting he sucks at rapping and doesnt even like the genre.

obviously man. everything has told us the dude is smart and funny. he probably just had contempt for the idiot interviewing him asking him about if he likes rap.

Can y'all post some good tracks that have beats which undergo a series of progressions (while not changing entirely)... this is the best example I could think of:

This has always been my favorite DJ Premier-Gang Starr track (or one of them at least)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTCyJG2s2R0

Also a really loving awesome verse from Jada on that one.

quote:

You wanna know why I invest all my money into haze and into dope
Cause right now, I'm currently a slave for Interscope
Respect first, then money - basic poo poo
If you got niggas under pressure, you could take they poo poo
Listen, I'mma leave you right where you stand
Have the ambulance pass your Timberlands off right to your man
Cause he pussy, he ain't gonna do nothing but look
When it come to beef, he don't want do nothing but cook
As soon as the chrome scope him, right there, 2 in the dome smokin'
Kids keep funeral homes open
I fall back, smoke an ounce in the dark
Bounce on a Preme track like I bounce on a NARC
Keep playing, y'all niggas will burn
And you know they say it takes something to happen for niggas to learn
Let the .40 Cal give 'em a perm
This industry is like bacteria and my flow is a germ
Just mad cause you'll never be as nice as I am
J to the "mwah" and I'll leave you right where you stand

While everyone's patting themselves on their back for "owning" backpackers while they listen to stuff where dudes can't even speak in complete sentences so they can live out their gangsta fantasies and piss off mumsy and dadsy, here's a couple of sweet-as-hell backpacker tunes from a true OG backpacker. Unfortunately it looks like one of the projects may be delayed "indefinitely" (unless it's an underachievers situation) but I'm hoping to hear more. Second track shouldn't be something I like but the beat is serious and the flow fits the subject matter so w/e

Uh, that was like the backpacker golden age. Cannibal Ox was the group all the edgy backpackers thought could save real hip hop.

quote:

Stylus Magazine wrote about "The F-Word", a song addressing unrequited love: "Moments like these show not only the skill of Can Ox’s MCs, but the potential for hip hop lyrics to work on as many levels as the finest English poetry."

No. It was the last great surge of gangsta rap into mainstream media.

I was just reading that "The Recipe" (one of the bonus songs from GKMC) was originally made for Detox which is... interesting. Did Dr. Dre just decide to cash in all his chips by trading a few beats/songs from the Detox vault for a chance to stumble all over a ghostwritten verse on GKMC and then throw in his rap game towel once and for all?
