D, u are sounding real IGNANT niggga! u losin the whole point.
when i say HIT RECORDS, where does the FORMULA for BUBBLEGUM one hit wonder CHART music come into the conversation?
Commons Album Finding Forever had a lot of HIT RECORDS on it!
i dont think u view it as a bubblegum formula album. but it was no.1 on the Billboard CHATRS!!!!
Kanye's Graduation is CLa**IC - Cant tell me nothing is a HIT RECORD! Stronger is a HIT RECORD! Big Brother is a HIT RECORD!
50's I Get Money and Follow my Lead are HIT RECORDS!
When u say tried and tested formula, u gotta be specific. cos Kanye and Common have their FORMULA, which incorporates Commercial AND Artististic creativity!
U must be referring to the Souljah Boy "Make em Dance" Formula! thats not what i was sayin when i said HIT RECORDS!
Have u heard American Gangster, that was a FORMULA! and its the FRESHEST ALBUM THIS YR!
Chamillionaire got MAD HIT RECORDS on his joint! HIPHOP POLICE is a HIT RECORD!!!!
Lupe fiasco's Superstar is a HIT RECORD! He got the Highest numbers in SALES this week for HIPHOP!
These are good musicians elevating the art!
Hymphatic thabs is a talented MC! but he's a useless Songwriter, composer of GOOD songs! yes he can confuse u with BIG words. but thats not GOOD MUSIC or ART! its just WORDPLAY!
Driemanskap's Hamb'ibuza is not an anthem or a HIT RECORD! its just a nice track!
quote - if I'm in a club getting my drink on I don't really want to hear Hymphatic. However, when I'm on my bike, riding on a mountain trail, The Age of Horus is perfect on my iPod.
Now thats the difference between a HIT RECORD and a average track!
U can listen to Jay-z -ROC BOYS, Hard Knock Life, Heart of the City, Big Pimpin or Kanye's -Cant tell me nothing in the club, riding ya bike, chillin wit ya girl, watchin tv, on the block, in the gym. it has no specific time and place!
its HOT rgardless of the CLIMATE! it'll get u bumpin it,whether ur in a party mood OR jus chillin!
U dont have to be in THE RIGHT MOOD to FEEL IT! its jus BANANAS!!!
THATS A HIT RECORD! like Snoop n Dre's -Gin n Juice, MOST of Notorious BIGS work, Damn near EVERY OUTKAST TRACK! Swizz Beats fire on Touch IT,Tambourine,Drink n my Two Step,Gettin Bodied, Money in the Bank,ect.. T.I's - Big Shit Poppin,Bring Em out, Pac's - California Love, M.O.P's - ANTE UP!!! UGK's Players Anthem! The Game -One Blood, Timbo's whole f***ing catalog from Jay-z to One republic!!!
these are HIT RECORDS!
