Gold Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 1062 Registered: Mar-06 | i'm for kanye his new cd is pretty sick. i like him because he is pretty much the only rapper that doesn't rap about shooting people and selling drugs. he just raps about real stuff |

Gold Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 1063 Registered: Mar-06 | stuff out of the mainstream doesn't have has good of beats and mixers IMO. that's probably about 70% of why i listen to rap. i know it sounds stupid but i feel this stuff is mainstream for a reason, lol. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6009 Registered: Jul-06 | 50 is a b1tch....i hate him and his songs....they arent good kayne > 50 i mite actually go buy a cd for once just to simply hope that my 1 purchase will help bring 50 to end.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 1064 Registered: Mar-06 | ^^^ i thought about and then fell back to my cheap a$S personality and downloaded it. i think kanye will win anyways, but i don't think 50 will really quit, he'll probably come up with an excuse. he says he'll still rap but won't make solo cd's so he won't be out regardless but i hope he loses and suffers the massive embarrassment |

Post Number: 1808 Registered: Oct-06 | "really though...50 is one of the best rappers lyrically in the mainstream." well that's not saying much, and yet i still think you've gotta be kidding. 50's lyrics are trash, he's a phuckin joke, his whole career is based off of beefing with other artists. |

Bronze Member Username: Imi4tth3wSan Antonio, Texas USA Post Number: 51 Registered: Feb-07 | actually he was here in san antonio this morning on the radio talking about the whole thing he says that there is not competition and how kanye would rather be second than first cause that way he actually had someone who's actually good come out with their cd on teh same day which is more media for him. i highly doubt any of them care either way there both making lots of $$$$ |
|
Gold Member Username: Theweasel2 12 FI SSD, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 1065 Registered: Mar-06 | i think the best lyrically right now is tech n9ne or T.I. the best ever with no doubt is Tupac. no one has ever come close. his beats were a little weak but lyrically no one could or ever will touch him. if you listen to some of the remixes with his lyrics over some modern beats he makes the song so much cooler than the regualr artist and he didn't even get to write specifically for that song |
|
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1709 Registered: Jun-06 | "well that's not saying much" Exactly. Who do you consider good in mainstream? |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5063 Registered: Feb-06 | common, kweli, mos def, redman, keith murray, any of the lox, nas,,,. all better than 50. |
|
Gold Member Username: PitbullguyAscendant Audio Arsenals, Chicago Ima graffiti... Post Number: 1810 Registered: Oct-06 | well "mainstream" is pretty vague to me, and i don't listen to a LOT of music by very many "mainstream" rappers, more just pick and choose the tracks i like and make cd's with them. but off the top of my head... jay-z nas t.i. kanye they're all easily better lyrically than 50 cent. |
|
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1710 Registered: Jun-06 | First I just want to reiterate what I said. I said "one of the best" not THE best. Yes those guys are better imo. What do you consider mainstream since you consider the word vague. I was mainly talking about people who get the radio play. Jay-Z just does appearances now. Nas hasnt had a big radio hit since "1 mic", from what I can remember...even then I could almost consider Nas non-mainstream. |
|
Gold Member Username: PitbullguyAscendant Audio Arsenals, Chicago Ima graffiti... Post Number: 1812 Registered: Oct-06 | w/e if you like him, great. don't let me ruin your good time. To me though he is one of the worst. I don't wanna debate what is or isn't mainstream. Seems like it's vague to you too since you said "I could almost consider Nas non-mainstream".... "could", "almost", "consider", those aren't really definitive, decisive words. |
|
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1711 Registered: Jun-06 | haha...I never said I like him. I actually said that I dont. I guess reading>you. Why you always get mad when someone says something you dont agree with, lolol? Its called opinion. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Post Number: 899 Registered: May-07 | Well u said if Kanye sells more than 50... In that case im gonna buy 50 Kayne CD's... 50 Cent fluckin sucks.. He did a song with justin Timberlake K Nuff Said... Most his songs are slow garbage wa wa songs |
|
Gold Member Username: PitbullguyAscendant Audio Arsenals, Chicago Ima graffiti... Post Number: 1813 Registered: Oct-06 | "Why you always get mad when someone says something you dont agree with" we must have miscommunicated, I couldn't be less mad. I'm bobbing my head to gorilla zoe right now (thanks reece) and watching sportscenter...this conversation is like 3rd priority (no offense). "I never said I like him. I actually said that I dont. I guess reading>you." no i read it....I guess that just seems contradictory to me, you think he's one of the best lyricists but you can't stand him? i assume you just mean you can't stand his persona but you think he's really talented, in which case i still disagree about his talent, and that's what i thought we were talking about in the first place. |
|
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1713 Registered: Jun-06 | What I'm trying to say is mainstream is pretty much garbage to me. I cant really stand any of the stuff they play on the radio anymore. Radio play is what I consider mainstream. I used to be into music so much...it was my life. But I got older and had kids and dont have the time I used to have, to devote to just kicking back and listening. Like right now...Who is Gorilla Zoe? lol. What are some songs I could dl from him? Or some other artist's that I could check out? |

Gold Member Username: PitbullguyAscendant Audio Arsenals, Chicago Ima graffiti... Post Number: 1816 Registered: Oct-06 | download "paper" and "hood nigga" by Gorilla Zoe. also "Coffee Shop" by Yung Joc featuring Gorilla Zoe. lol these songs are hardly groundbreaking lyrically, but i love em'. I'm a sucker for good production. As much as i've always disliked 50, you better believe i played the sh!t out of "get rich or die trying", but not because of lyrics, but rather because Dr. Dre made one of the best produced rap albums ever when he made that cd. |
|
Silver Member Username: Tiki89Post Number: 178 Registered: Oct-06 | hope kanye outsells him cant stand 50. Well i only liked his first album get rich or die trying but the other cr@p ugh..... Also gorilla zoe isnt all that those songs are all right but not something i would bump to. (Dont get butthurt pitbull its my opinion...) |

Silver Member Username: NorthomahaPost Number: 533 Registered: Mar-06 | i dont like kanye, i think he is a gimmick rapper, i guess you could say all rappers have gimmicks though. no ones mentioned the fact that kanye cant make a hit with out a sample though. hes a great producer, dont get me wrong but his lyrics are consistently bad. he has a bad habit of using one word twice in a line. |

Silver Member Username: ShadeMoxee, Wa U.S. Post Number: 387 Registered: Nov-06 | kanye is like a boyband rapper. 50 might have been put 2gether like a boy band, after he got shot 9 times but the fact of the matter is, kanye is a boyband rapper. he might make decent beats but he's def. not on the level of Dre, Tim, or Scott, or Lil Jon.....Now i dont' want anyone going home with the opinion that 50 is a "gansta" but how gangsta are u after making 3.5 mill. honestly, if ur still "trying to be gangsta" then ur fl.ucking stupid. Now lemme tell u who's got his sh!t on track, Luda, evetyhign he touches is fire......don't believe me? listen to all his radio tracks or even Red Light District. pz /thread. |

Ay bay bay?!?!?!?!?!" ouch cal....hurricane chris makes 50 lookk like a genius. that song is catchy but hardly good. and why does it seem like there is always a 50 cent thred on this site? pretty much once a month theres a thread with 50 cent in it. then someone says 50 sucks, then 3-4 people come on and argue about it, usually im one of them argueing he sucks. then people get upset. then people come on and start to name people who are better which is easy to do. the common name who comes up in every thread who is better is nech n9ne, nas, jay z, tupac, biggie, etc..... |

I'm sorry but Jay-Z destroyed Nas and where is Nas?The dude hasn't been around in a minute.I think Nas' best songs were "The Ether?"(The Jay-Z dis) and Nas is like.50's Get Rich or die tryin was a very good album so I can't say he sucks...the only reason I want Kanye to sell more is because 50 shouldn't be acting like a lil b1tch about it. |

T.I's sh!t is whack so is young joc so is jeezy so is ludacris lol canibus better than tupac??? strongly disagree. kanye is a great lyricist whoever said his lyrics are whack doesnt know good lyrics. 50 doesnt suck hes still a great rapper/ lyricist. he just makes more music that everyone listens to. i wish ppl would stop listening to mainstream garbage and go hit up a mixtape. 50 will sell more than kanye but i do believe kanye will have a better album.. hes more original, his beats are sick, and his lyrics have always been sick. listen to "through the wire" and that whole college drop out album. i like 50 and kanye but ill download 50's and buy kanyes lol |

Bronze Member Username: Animex2Buffalo, New York USA Post Number: 27 Registered: Aug-07 | already listened to both cd's (leaked on bit torrent) 50's is still really good, not as "gangster" as his older stuff, but still good ive never been a fane of Kanye but after this CD im starting to like him overall they are both really good cd's IMO |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 645 Registered: Nov-06 | oh yeah. 50 cent's not gonna stop rapping, he'll just quit releasing music as a solo artist. power of the dollar was sick. but cmon. "i take you to the candy shop, let you lick the lollipop". anyway i think 50's gonna outsell kanye. not that i really care. although it would be funny if curtis lost and then i could laugh. he's f.ckin' full of himself. that's why chamillionaire's cool. he doesn't really f.ck around with all that "i'm gonna start a beef to hype myself" sh!t. who was 50 cent talkin sh!t to? damn. no maybe it was tony yayo. well one of them was talkin sh!t to nas was it. no it was ghostface. chamillionaire too. anyway i'd love to see 50 get ripped up. it will happen if ghostface says anything about it. knock him down a notch or two. |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5112 Registered: Feb-06 | also heard most the curtis cd and it sucked. definately not worth it (as if his others were though). heard several of kanyes' new songs and they are o.k. might buy it if i get bored. and even though i hate 50s' music and think he's corny and fake, he'll still outsell kanye imo cause of 1 reason - damn near every white high schooler that wants to act hard/ghetto/black/like they lived a rough life, will go out and buy it, swearing he's the best cause they don't know any better. jmo. |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 649 Registered: Nov-06 | If Ayo Technology was the best song on Curtis I'm not even gonna download that. My buddy had it n he showed me. The beat was just obnoxious. You sorta see where the old gezers are coming from with "rap's not music". If that was the first rap song I heard I wouldn't touch the stuff. All these dude's are creating the stereotype that hip-hop's just "b!tch, ho, slang keys, kill a n.gga, my grill is shiny, *hardcore materialism*, f.ck the crackas, do drugs" etc. I'll listen to Graduation sometime though. josh, how old are you? I don't know what it's like at your school but at my high school, we get to leave campus at lunch in grade 9. in elementary everyone was like "it's gonna be so dope when we can go to tim hortons at lunch", then after a week of being able to leave it's boring as hell because all you do is walk around. |

I dunno. I'm in high school and we MIGHT have 1 black kid for every hundred white kids, so most of the kids I know are white. Most of the kids I know listen to hip hop as well and most of them hate 50 Cent. Also, most of them aren't the "I'm hood" kinda white kids. Although, that may be because I avoid those kids. I've seen kids in grade 9 who act like that though. I even know a kid who listens to The Pharcyde. |

Silver Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 363 Registered: Jun-07 | yea im 18 and a senior lol thats so g*y lol i had to wait 4 years to go out for lunch. but yea im black grew up in an all black community (plainfield, newyjersey) recently moved in 9th grade because my mom didnt want me goin to that highschool and gettin caught up in the wrong things. theres alot of shootings and ish there including my cousin who got shot in the head over a girl. but anyway i grew up listening to jay-z man. reasonable doubt is my all time favorite rap lp. when emienem came out i liked his ish to and i liked 50 stuff to when he came out. but yea im a big fan of 50 and kanye i always go out and buy the real cd of my favorite rappers u know to support em even though they dont need it lol so its worth it to me ya know. even if they arent that great its all good... |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 651 Registered: Nov-06 | "what's wrong with the pharcyde?" Absolutely nothin'. I f.ckin' love The Pharcyde. Most kids I know haven't gotten into classic hip-hop yet though. To be in grade 10, living in the sub-urbia that is Vic. BC, and listen to The Pharcyde is just not all that common. Most kids are all about X-Raided and that f.cked up sorta hip hop. Josh, I know what you mean about buying the sh!t from artists you wanna support. I have a list of albums to order from CDBaby. Mostly Justice System and Foesum, with a lil random stuff I decided to try. I gotta buy some Pete Philly And Perquisite too. It's amazing. |

Gold Member Username: MixmastaspigCanada, Canada Canada Post Number: 1080 Registered: Sep-05 | Picked up the Kanye cd and It's pretty decent IMO. I have never liked 50 and I agree with a lot of the above he tries to hard to be "gangster". Kayne is musical and has talent and just raps, he doesn't try to be a gangster he just sounds like himself. |
|
Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 453 Registered: Apr-07 | I don't like 50- reminds me of john kerry somehow.. and kanye's racist sooo. |
|
Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 336 Registered: Mar-07 | anyone like the new Kanye? It's not too bad I don't think, but I honestly liked the can't tell me nothing mixtape that was out for a couple weeks before the graduation. I agree with: "kanye's racist" but that's life. although the way he always has to voice his opinion about the topic or the bush admin every time he gets some attention is quite annoying. |
|
Gold Member Username: PitbullguyAscendant Audio Arsenals, Chicago Post Number: 1840 Registered: Oct-06 | Why do you guys think Kanye's racist? I don't agree/disagree, i just don't know what you're talking about...only thing i can think of is after hurricane Katrina when he was like "g.w.b. doesn't care about black people". |
|
Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 339 Registered: Mar-07 | he seems to me, as well as other I know: very 'black power' and I don't mean that as "he shouldn't be proud of or stand up for his race" I just look at it as being the equivalent of being very 'white power' |
|
Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 461 Registered: Apr-07 | ^^Agree 100%. The katrina thing was a big reason. I don't care if people are proud of their race- BUT when they put down others in the process I do. Some people propagate racism, and I don't support people who do. |

Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 346 Registered: Mar-07 | I hope 50 "retires" like a lil whiny b1tch. anyway, I never saw that clip, I had always heard about it but never got to see it til now, and D@MN, that was blatant and just all by itself, dead silence for a bit after he said that. I like how he tried to say later on that he didn't say that, or that he didn't mean it like that...whatev |
|
Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 489 Registered: Apr-07 | Exactly- he was hateful. I really wish he would retire- I don't like his music, he sounds kind of nasally in my opinion. |
