Actually Just came out this week and said he didn't produce the track.
Proper credit goes to DJ Static.

the new wu tang is actually good. before i got it i listened to samples of it and thought it was not so good but i bought it anyway.

ive been listening to the wu tang for awhile now and love all of the offshoots that rza produced too tho the cd the wu was pretty weak.

i gave the new one a chance and it has really grown on me. it is a little different with lots of guitars (fucking john frusciante!) and a kind or mariachi beat with no bass! good shit.

the interpolation... of the beatles is total crap tho. always skip that one but the rest is pretty solid.

dr dre is pretty cool. so far he has made the only beat in hip hop history that i know of that used micro tones. very cool.

I don't want any of these things in my rap music

NO sing along choruses. RHYME motherfuckers, I don;t want to hear no one singing!

mumble mouth shit. pronounce your words people.

doo doo wack rhymes. if you cannot read at higher than a twelfth grade level then you should not be writing rhymes.

skits, no fucking skits. I hated them when prince paul was shoving them down my throat and I hate them now.

skits annoy the shit out of me. especially when the album is 22 songs and only 10 songs maybe are real songs.

this is what i don't want:

"like this, y'all. like that, y'all." all that shit is played. i'm tired of talking about how great hip hop was back in the day (i'm looking at you, j5).

dudes who have great wordplay, but no flow. i'd rather listen to a good flow with silly ass words, than some cat who can rhyme 14 different things with orange, all off beat.

lupe fiasco. he started listening to rap a couple years ago, now people think he's hip hop's savior. his production is whack and so are his rhymes.

songs that rhyme "party" and "bacardi." yeah, i like to party sometimes. yeah, when i do, i usually drink rum. why not switch it up? sip bacardi at the jean luc picarty.

and more fucking skits. i love skits. they were the best part of albums when i was growing up. especially on "enter the 36 chambers" and "doggystyle" and "the chronic" and all that shit.

In February 1998, [Ol' Dirty] Bastard witnessed a car accident from the window of his Brooklyn recording studio. He and a friend ran to the accident scene and organized about a dozen onlookers who assisted in lifting the 1996 Ford Mustang—rescuing a 4-year-old girl from the wreckage. She was taken to a hospital with second and third degree burns. Using a false name, Bastard visited the girl in the hospital frequently until he was spotted by members of the media

clipse-chinese new year (malice sample)

Let's play cops and robbers, and watch Heckler & Koch turn cops to martars
As well as niggaz wit plots to rob us
Try me, I'll turn this motherfucker into shuttas
Wit them 911's revin, gunfire leave brethren remains like 9/11
And get the sounds of rounds dispensing
That clack up make 'em back up like it's invisible fencing
When I picture bits and pieces of bone chip and flesh, it tears me to pieces
Cooperate, escaping useless; trust me I'm your friend, I will talk you through this
Trick or treat niggaz wit hoods want the goods
I feel like Robin Hood when I share it wit my hood
Don't forget, he who plays hero gets hit
Don't let the 9 mill riddle your wits smarty pants

i just dont see how you can think thats genric, well maybe genric, cuz its def coke rap, but boring? no way.


i though pharrell's production (and i seriously found out WAY later that pharell produced hell hath...) is too smooth and without any personality, i really though it was a chore to listen to the whole album.

have you heard 3 6's mystic stylez? now those are lyrics! later, when they dropped the satanic/serial killer rhymes, became about the beats, no question about it.

anybody else into cage here?

i love it when rappers sing because they're all terrible, listening to ghostface or biggie sing is hilarious because they know they sound horrible but they do it anyway

both of his solo albums are great, but i may be in the minority when i say
"movies for the blind" was better. i guess it depends on whether you prefer
drugged-out cage or contemplative cage. the fact he succeeded so well in
two different styles is testament to his skill.

BEST RAP SONG EVER ULTRA MAGNETIC MC'S

I get in shape and do my physical fitness
Your head's numb, so your brains a miss this
Pick 'em up, eat 'em up, pick 'em up, beat 'em up
Pick 'em up pimplehead, pick 'em up picky
I roll wit globs and I come real sticky
Ripping the mic, I plug it up in your ears
Crazed and brewer. I'm coming out like beers
Like Rheingold, Miller, Coors, and Buds
I'm a eat 'em wit popcorn and treat 'em like suds you duds
Coming out the wick wack, wicky, wickable wack
Black jack, that's a fact, writing exact behind your back
The funk rhyme to master, blaster
Kicking up in a brainstorm, rainstorm
Rap storm, rap form
Rap time, rap rhyme
Rap class, I'm here to fail and to pass
To continue, from the more, hype tip
I roll and rock, rock and roll
Jazz and pop, rhythm and Blues
Dance and fusion, pain confusion
Look at the lights, what a night on the town
I'm Poppa Large, big shot on the East coast(4x)

Now I'm back to funk, freak the funk
Hype the funk, swipe the funk and all that junk
I get busy on 'em, communicate wit the world
Man, woman, a baby boy and a girl
Poppa large looking out the pawn shop
Taking stroud while your face and arms drop
Stop, look, learn to read, learn to write
Learn to talk, learn to walk
And watch your step though, I'm hype and ripe though
Kleptomaniac, my rhyme is psycho
A Ricky Ricardo, a Guy Lombardo
Sporting a ragtop, an El Dorado
Step into Hollywood, I'm screening the boulevards
The rhymes is gain type, I'm ready to pull it's card
Jack or Ace, King or Queen, call me the deuce
I'm pouring out like juice
Hitting the top, feeling the rim
Getting a trim, I never rhyme like them
On and on, on and on, on and on
Until the break of dawn
I go overtime, rock the mic in nighttime
Daytime, switching off to Primetime
Specifically, strolling back in the west time
Rock the funk wit the mic in the east rhyme
Hype and dope, hype the frame, the mic is smoking
Yo, I ain't joking
Rhyme to kill, rhyme to murder, rhyme to stomp
Rhyme to ill, rhyme to romp
Rhyme to smack, rhyme to shock, rhyme to roll
Rhyme to destroy anything decoy boy
On the microphone
I'm poppa large, big shot on the east coast(4X)

You're dripping sweaty, coming hard on your neck
As I flow and grow from head to toe
Seeking a style like John Mcenroe
Dissing 'em all, serving them wit the mic stand
Like Prince and Michael coming out wit a big band
The crowd is loud, you can pay as teh manager
Run wit the money, I pull the trigger and damage ya
Boom, taking life more serious
I may sound lyrical and very mysterious
Rhymes are grip tight, no grams to kill more
A son of Sam, how could I begin more
Grabbing the mic, you see the dark and shadows
You're in living hell, the funk, pound to pound
The funk ignited, hands are writing, brains dividing
I'm coming out in sighting
Like I'm Blackula, a better man that Dracula
Spectacular and not irregular
In fact you are speaking impopular
Rhymes are moved and you can't be stop wit the
Beat as it goes to the rhyme that flows
Like a coke in a straw burning up in your nose
That's a bad habit, stepping out on stage one
Drop the mic, come and turn to page one
Look at the master, my range is higher
My lyrical burns, your brain's on fire
Poppa Large, big shot on the east coast(8X)

i agree with you about pharrell's production on 'hell hath.' it has no character and nowhere near the same amount of grit that was on 'lord willin.' the only thing that saves that album IS clipse.

and 3/6 has the production on lock these days, but they're still kinda lacking in the lyrics department. i'll agree that after they dropped the satan thing, they gotta better (the total opposite happened to bone thuggs n harmony, but that's a different story).

everyone, drop what you're doing and download lil wayne's "the leak 2." hands down, best lyricist in a long time.

al shabbray 02.29.2008 03:49 PM

label wise I would go for anticon and def jux. especially anticon are the most experimental hip hop bastards Ive ever listened to, for axample themselves and especially clouddead. clouddead are just beautiful
http://www.myspace.com/catsleeph
thats how it sounds if a die hard SY fan couldnt find anybody around playing in an experimental rock group...because of that starting to make beats...

val-holla-ing 02.29.2008 07:24 PM

experimental doesn't necessarily equate to good.

anticon isn't hip hop. it's trayash.

the thing is that 3/6 used to be about the beats and the rhymes, amazing. the last one wasn't that good if you ask me, most known unknown is still very awesome, i liked that they evolved, in a way.

and really, bone thuggs used to be great, before they got too r&b.

and lil' wayne is great.

Toilet & Bowels 03.01.2008 07:16 AM

listening to anticon is like eating a bowl of jizz

Glice 03.01.2008 07:58 AM

Gotta love the Welsh rap

Listening to Anticon is less fun than eating a bowl of jizz, and far more indie.

Glice 03.01.2008 08:12 AM

Keep it BS5 yeah?
Yeah! Rubbish bedroom videos!
Bristol, yeah?
Mo' local shit.

Don't get out to the local nights as much as I should. Shocking really.

Disgruntled Youth 03.01.2008 10:48 AM

SORRY BUT FUCK lil wayne I met the bastard & he could eat a bag of dick fuck di bwoy he kissed his daddy...

batreleaser 03.01.2008 11:45 AM

most known unknon is awesome and the best 3 6, but they dont have one iota the lyrical skills of malice and pusha t.
