i mean rare is it that you will find a needle in this 2005 hip hop haystack.
so im saying now....
cop this shit and enjoy it cause lawd knows who is gonna make a jawn this tight.
first song about chicago opens with this upright bass solo and then goes into some low end theory shit....WHOOOOOOOO....
and the "faithful" jawn (dj rodgers sample)---WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
and the "girls girls" jawn....MAN!!!!!!!
if this shit aint a hit in time for the summer then i say someone firebomb the interscope building.

27. "shit....its hell enough dealing with riq living in LA" In response to Reply # 9 Sat Mar-05-05 09:43 AM
let alone com.
damn maybbe im missing something with mofos moving out to where there is sun and fun.
im just a believer in a rhythm (think of LL talking about going to his grandma's basement to write his songs to get in the zone)----so i gots to be in a place that is uncomfortable and cold and will give me no other option but to work...
and not saying that riq, dilla, and com aren't about working---the exact opposite: riq aint write this many rhymes since DYWM (we up to an unheard of 24 complete demos), well.....we all know dilla's situation and most of that is due to the fact that he may get some fresh air after his 12th beat in done in a 48 hour period.
for me personally, i dont wanna be distracted with the "siren"esque atmosphere of LA. you know me....i'd be at prince's house everynight stealing those damn peanut butter cookies, making threats to the ordertaker at roscoe's for not letting me call in my order after 11 on a saturday, i'd get mad tickets, i'd wake up late, i'd be at the scrip club, we'd never reherse and my girl would leave me.
so---philly is where i do my dirt (or new york, but the lady aint the same under new management)
plus....the direction of this album is closer to kanye's flavor and com just needed a fresh change from the events that were a part of his life since december of 2003.--
so that said i believe that kayne has manned the boards for 60% and dilla the 40% and i am truly not mad at all.
and the courtroom song!?!?!?
DAMNYUUUUUUM!!!!

I want you to move to LA too....Riq don't be going to Prince's house or Roscoe's or bowling, roller skating...can't she work at HBO here and you guys rent my room out? Only $1200. You can rent both of your places for triple that. Okay, I'm dreaming again....
BOTH of us are homeowners and my mortgage is like half of your rent!

first andre 3000, then com and black thidought? hooray for the would-be LA emcees. com and thought should sign with stones throw with the aliases mad sense and mad thought.
but i still have to ask, why? what's the fruit of this LA migration? it's surprising after he repped philly so hard for so long, which i assume he will continue to do, cuz thats wut every philly head does that i meet over here. no hate, im just curious.

WOW! You right about that didn't think about it that way. Huge co-sign that intro had everybody buggin'
Now I got a question. How do you feel about the joint that doesn't have a hook yet? (forgot the name of it) Amanda (Diva) and myself we were telling him to keep it that way. The beat change alone could be the hook, he said it felt right that way but he was going to try a hook just to see.

I mean Kanye known for dropping mixtapes, hell John Legend even had one, plus he still has to late May before "BE" drops. Maybe drop something w/ a few of the new joints (snippets at least), songs that didn't make it, freestyles or what not(like using the beats Ninth or Kareem submitted) and of course some classic Common.
With the corners hot now, drop a mixtape as a teaser and/or as reminder for cats that have forgot how nice he is, 2nd single starting to hit niggas by mid-May right before joint drops.

I haven't been hyped for cd release in a loooong time.
Can't wait for it to drop, everyone on this board should NOT download Common's joint!
Go out and cop his joint when it drops and support one of the few "REAL" hip hop artists left.
Thanks for the heads up on the Common joint qoolquest!

I can tolorate da "Corners" song but it'z kinda boring but Common makez da joint worth listenin' to enough to where I forget Kanye'z production. J-Dilla iz king ta me but some of da beatz people have been selecting' by him lately haven't been hiz bezt jointz but they're still dope. I heard dat Jer2 haz heard a preview of da album & waz givin' it thumbz up, hiz tazte on rap albumz iz pretty cloze ta minez so maybe thiz will out do "LWFC". What makez me mad iz dat I really loved da "Electric Circus" album it'z straight up dat funky shyt dat old & young katz can dig but yes it wazn't a hip-hop head'z album.

however his talents are not being maximized in his occupation. He can show versatility of being able to co-front The Roots and being recognized by "the masses" for what he is, one of the best MCs in the game. After all the live shows I've been to I know first and for most Thought is an entertainer. But the man has unreal delivery and raw talent that could take him alot further. After all the discussions during TTP about how its Black Thoughts time to shine and step out into the spotlight. Why doesn't he finally do it, just once. Take a couple of those "Lean Back" type bangers and give the world a platinum lp of anthems with a lyricist that could really hold his own.

he tried to make a hit (or two) with the Neps last go 'round with underwhelming results.
and it's not so much an indictment against the music (although i'm not a big fan of Kanye's stuff) per se.
it's just that i think the 106th/TRL younging crowd can smell that "i wanna hit so i'm getting with the IT producer guy" stuff a mile away. his stuff still sounds too smart and poetic to be a hit. i dunno what kinda magic y'all bottled to make The Light but i don't think just enlisting that cat on some "let's ride his coattails while he's hot" is the way.
i think the only people who will really be happy will be these OKPknuckleheads and other college dorm downloaders who hated EC and never got past the shock of seeig him with the knit hats, corduroys, and chuck taylors...

When the heck does it come out? Every store I've been too (Best Buy, Virgin, etc.) don't even have a release date for it. Mayeb I'm late and missed something since I've been working 12 hrs a day the last few weeks. Anyone got any info?
95. "is Kanye doing ALL the production" In response to Reply # 92
if kanye is doing ALL the production...i don't think that's a good thing...i'm not a fan of kanye's lyricism...and the two songs i've heard off the album (corner and food) both have kanye on the mediocre hooks...
other than that...kanye's production is on point...and i love the last poets snippets in 'corner'
