thats why hiphop in SA keeps FLOPPING! niggas cum up with their OWN RULES! hence there cannot be growth as there is no way of facilitating CONTINUITY! ie. new cats cannot build from what the older cats did cos they sommer cum up with their own shit too.
Now this ^^^ right here is some bull. Duplicate clone rapper is saying stick to the script & be a carbon copy [joker voice in Dark Knight]"Like me!"[/joker voice in Dark Knight]
Some of the most successful albums have had Avant-garde covers:
the Skwatta Cover was hot! i liked that one!
AS u can see it reflects the Skwatta Kamp and reflects their characters! i like the face paint(ie.cats ready to go to war/battle)
The roots one(naw,not feeling it...but it has historical significance...which the Roots embody....the cover TELLS YOU,this is conscious music)
Kanye's - BRILLIANT!!!!!
Another example of GOOD ANIMATION!
It reflects KANYES personality and he takes the TEDDY BEAR theme further to another level!
eg. of simple stick to the script covers - ALL JAY-Z;s covers! BIG's - Ready To Die(the badboy baby)CLa**IC!, Wu Tang Forever, Get rich or die tryin! Common -BE, Snoop Dogg - RnG, The GAme - The Documentary, ALL LL Cool J's covers, LIL WAYNES COVER -hahahaha! SICK!
but ja fellas, i hear what yall sayin and of course there is always room for taste.
@Sdudla,we said back by popular demand cos everywhere we went people were like "When is vol.2 comin out, especially the hiphop dance community cos we covered the Clinch VS Reps saga in vol.2(if u dont know who they are,they are the TOP DANCE CREWS in SA at the moment and squared off to win a trip to LA in the hiphop nationals, to go compete in the Internationals! CLINCH WON!
In fact Clinch are hosting the BIGGEST HIPHOP EVENT in SA soon at Carnival City "The Masters of Rhythm" check computicket!
Last yr they sold out Montecasino!
anyway, i feel what errbody sayin!
