Bootz, Em even admits to being a Nas clone :P so many people hear an old track off Infinite or off Soul Intent and think its Nas.

bleh everyone sounds like someone... If you listen to any fifty tracks pre his last album release and Jay-z's old tracks you could say hes a clone of J :P

Jeff's a clone of Clockwork

True...but we all gotta come from somewhere, right? I used to be a crazy Hip Hop Head until everybody went "Bling Bling". Then I was just listening to my staples like Nas, Red and Meth. I get defensive about these guys...Actually, It was the Canadian acts like K-os and Rascalz, and different stuff like Eminem that brought me back.

lol well you also have to realize when you get a couple million in the bank and steady flow coming in, your not going to keep rhyming about grimey stuff and the street life etc... They all turn blingey etc because there whole lifestyle has changed and they are rhyming about what they are now going through as before they were rhyming about how they were living then :P So in my eyes they are just ebing true to themselves, I mean lets be serious, someone with 50 million in the bank, talking about slinging on the corner would be ridiculous, wouldnt it?? :P

It doesn't have to be either street corner stuff OR blingey blingey. There are a myriad of other things to write about. That's why I like Eminem, Nas et al. Its not all about how much money you make or what whip you're spinnin'. If what you have financially is all you can think about there's no depth to what you are saying. Just me personally, but I like it when lyrics make you think.

HA, never thought I would see a hiphoptopic here. but,,

I've been spinning as a turntablist for about 4 years now. I've collected alot of records over the years. I've realized that it isn't always the best people that make it. Personally,

I find premier kindablows. As said B4, his beats are predictable and somewhat overrated. I do feel that a pioneer like him deserves respect. Yet from my past purchases, and dissapointments I don't buy premier anymore, unless I REALLY like the vocalist.

ON TOPIC;
Gangstarr's album is good. I was a little dissapointed to hear him go on about politics. I feel that is for the polititians, not rapperz.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCER?
hands down is,

BUT LET ME WARN YOU NECRO IS NOT FOR THE SQUEEMISH OR WEAK MINDED. SAYING THAT, NOONE I HAVE EVER TALKED TO EVER MENTIONED NECRO BEING ANYTHING BUT A GREAT PRODUCER.

BEST CANADIAN RELEASE?
ODDITIES-- CHECK THEM--- http://oddlyenough.com

peace, good looking out kids.

ha! necro is aight... I think he kind of fell off... Only release i liked from him was some ill bill stuff and on your knees... Producing hes tight, but when he rhymes he is off beat, pitch is all over the place, etc etc... I would much rather listen to some eastern conferance stuff over the necro stuff hands down... But to each his own On your Knees though is still one of my fav tracks :P He sampled that beautifully :P Oddities, isnt that rainbow son franks crew from much music??? My old room mate lives with Nix from circle research, he moved in when i moved out and hes down with all of those men. I never really listened to them in depth, what are some song titles????
