wow.....didnt think this was gone raise some dabate like this nway lemme state xzactly where it is i stand .....
first off i ant say verb album was a cla**ic ,damn i done listened to tooooo much hiphop to think 'long em lines,n i dont mean Verb cant mac a cla**ic l.p,that juss wasnt,what i meant though was :
lyrically he came out good,i aint worried bout "is he tryna sound american n all" coz i dot know him personally n for al i know maybe he does speak that way not strayin from what i am sayin ,lyricaly he hit above average,i am also that typeof listener "tha oooooohh ,wooow"punchline n metaphor in love wit rapper/fan too,i mean i grew up on canibus too,n from what i heard Verb is a bus fan so i thought he was gone raise tha bar for tha rest of em catts,he still came out good though
2 - tha beats was good,i also know of damn good producers out here like ma manns Munetsi said ,n em kids killin it wit limited tools,aint suprised at how he ,munetsi came at all of ya on this he is a hungry n well to mie a better rapper than al em s.a rappers i have heard,so he te be pssed off coz they kinda wastin ......
3 - tha concepts for em trax was real good..... he covered a lotof ground on that album money,sex ,drugs n alcohol was sick,heartbeat sc,microfone sweet homesic n none of e trax was tha same,even tha kimberly track,that was one sick track mann ,kidd spoke real pa**ionately bout where he came from,whats happening round his peoples n all
4- tha looooooove songs,i felt he dumbed down a lot for em,he got lke 4 trax that sound like these looove songs,kinda came off like 50 on ma**acre
5 - Tumi,well i also felt he was real low,thought he was soundin a lil bit faint n low on confidence fo sure,i am a biiiiigg tumi fan,well he ma fav rapper out ol em s.a catts,eventhough wat he spit was good n all,he did soud low wen it came to confidence
n to cap it off i dun lisined to optical is album n em dudes be complicatin too much shit,i feel they be gettin emslves confused to some certain point coz some of they shit dont mac sense thunny
am a huge hiphop fan irregardless of whether tha dude thats spitting is afrian(kingpin is in a top 5 dead or alive,r.i.p kdd),southern i lisin to jeezy n t.i n e dudes talk mo sense than a otof new york rappers,i lisin to skool catts,got everythan from dela,common,tribe,big daddy kane,rakim n all,so maybe at tha end of tha day we all choose what we feel is good "to us"....i choose anythan that gives hiphop a positive movesoething solid ,something people can relate to n Pro is coo wit mie,wont comment on zubbz that much only heard b.e.a.t.s n some otha song wit a vid he aaaaight but i feel he is one of en catts that gets 2 much love coz ya all cast him as that "real hiphop"...what is real hiphop in tha first place???
if its produced by preemo does it mean its real hiphop??
if k.r.s says thats real hiphop ya down wit it??
i am mie n at tha end of tha day i lisin to what appeals to mie mos ...
