He didn't 'refuse' anything. Sometimes comments don't post on his webpage. It's not his fault.

Ok fair enough if thats the case..but do you know that is the case for sure rob? I went back and I can still see my longer comment above the 2nd one..it says 'awaiting moderation'. That usually means waiting for approval?

phenomenal releases

Plies - Definition of Real
Young Jeezy - The Resession
Game - LAX

The words 'phenomenal' and  the above albums cannot be used in the same sentence.

Plies? No comment.
Jeezy - A few hot songs/singles does not make a 'phenomenal' release - I dnt think i have replayed this album more than 3 times
Game - see above

I wanted to add weezy but I knw that would cause drama..and thats a whole other thread. I guess he deserves to be there cos of his success..but personally, I dnt like carter 3 as much as everyone, tho it does have some heaters.

Just less "underground" records for the heads.

I disagree..there were plenty of solid underground records (more than commercial ones without a doubt) u just hav to look deeper than billboard top 100 (hence the 'underground' tag)
I cant think of them all but ones that come to mind are:

Reks - Grey Hairs
Elzhi - The Preface
Termanology - Politics as Usual
88 Keys - Death of Adam
Q-Tip - Renaissance (not really hiphop, but if you wanna include 808's and heartbreak..)
Johnson & Jonson

I can't comment on the local ones cos i havent heard any of them

*In my opinion though T.I has the best album of the year hands down.
Luda had a few "wrong turns" in his album.

Yeah i have to agree..Ludas album is dope but T.I's is better.

Ironic that one of the 'wrong turns' on the Luda album is the joint with T.I (in my opinion - one of the worst tracks) LOL!

to be honest i kinda enjoyed love lockdown...especially the remix with kells - fair enough it was far fetched and auto-tune is played out... but it was no travesty! (but u dont like it? u dont like it - na'mean) - further to that i think he did try something a bit different with the concept...as in most of the album - his voice was distorted which was cool....Amazing ft jeezy is fire.

I found 808's and Heartbreak easy to listen to up to 'Love lockdown' but then it gets really hard to listen to after that..i could throw it when a lady is present  - 'music to make love to' i guess...

the joint wit jeezy is dope!

anyways  i agree that the recession has hit because majority of ish was garbage....even from those who produce popular music. To be honest as much as i love Nasir..and loved the lyrics on the "untitled" album.. the beat selection was terrible...On the extreme end.. even those who produce Pop raps like Nelly produced terrible albums - and Nelly is usually consistent. Shiiiit LL should erase that MIC from his arm based on that last album...

Hahaha..yeah those 3 were poor!

General Discussion / Re: 25toLyf Mixtape now available!!!

« on: July 03, 2008, 12:39:02 AM »

I'm not sure I'm the guy you want reviewing this. I am really not into the crunk rap stuff which this mixtape is heavy on.

Nah thats cool I understand its not everybodys style of music..but thats cool because it was really the production we were showcasing - since we only have one artist!  I disagree on the 'crunk' comment tho..i think its def more mainstream hiphop but i wouldnt go so far as to call it 'crunk'. Lil john is crunk lol.

I echo Nyambo's sentiments. Production sounds polished & professional recording quality. Zimbabwean music engineering has come a long way.

Thanks !!! SubZero is Zimbabwean, DJ PeeWee is the Zambian part of team! We worked really hard to make sure the production was on point!
