Basically, Drake’s verse on Stay Schemin’ was supposedly a subliminal response to Common’s Drake-baiting Sweet. Common ends his version with asking Drake to say his name with a Destiny Child sample.
Let’s hope some good records come out of two dudes that can get raw when motivated….
I like Houston rap as much as the next guy. But sometimes a man enjoys Henroc out of a stryofoam cup instead of lean and sprite. Prodigy is home, and he is voting for Ron Paul like some sort of Q-Boro Vince Gallo. While I am not voting for Ron Paul this EP knocks.
I had a DJ Three tape I bought one of the first times I went to New York. MF Grimm had this great song about Emotions on it. His team had shoes made of ostrarich. The primary emotion was “fuck you”. This Lost In Translations tape reminds me of that song. More “Razerblade under the tongue” then “Hey, wait Bladerunner is kinda like living in NY.” The dystopia in the music was a product of the experience. Just because you have cancer you don’t have to tell me that radiation comes from machines. Sometimes your suffering, and alcoholism will suffice. 26.Prurient- Bermuda Drain
Until there is a PillowTalk full-lenghth this will do.
This is a really good album. I am just really mad at this album because of hearing “She Will” on the radio too many times.
I do not not hold “She Will” against Lil Wayne and it was on the Carter IV not Take Care. For some reason the idea of a sensitive artist reflecting on if a woman will jiggle her butt for him because he is famous creeps me the fuck out. Maybe it’s just makes me realize I am the only person male or female that doesn’t like strip clubs, or how women don’t mind combining money and sex. I bet whomever bought the most Steel Reserve at Occupy Wall Street was a polyamorous crust punk.
“She Will” is not on Take Care, which is a good album. I also like the Carter IV.
Envelope and Jacoti Sommes set-out to make a stripped-down, raw Hip Hop record inspired by early Wu-Tang’s zig-zag offness and analog warmness. Envelope’s skillset, and taste accidently caused This Could Go Either Way be sorta like if Heems worked with Clams Casino. Plus he is the only rapper from Columbus that was reviewed by Doug Mosurock or would even care to be.
Common linking up with Obama and getting defended by Jon Stewart, and N.O. ID being Kanye’s Mentor gave the Chicago pair the freedom to reunite and make a strong Hip Hop album.
Danny Brown said “fuck it I am about to hit 30. I can rock a grime accent and flow that will get me drugs and laid at the party then stop and bring it to some straight Detroit copper-stripping working class crime shit.”
What..if you frequented this blog then you had to see this coming?! Fear at Saturday Night Live. The Marshall Mathers LP. Waka Flocka Flame. Crass Banned From Roxburry.
Welp…on H-A-M Jay-z said, “I’m like really half a billi n*gga/ Really you got baby money/ Keep it real with n*ggas/ N*ggas ain’t got my lady money.”
Lil Wayne took it as a subliminal & took a subliminal shot at Jay-z on It’s Good off the Carter IV responding as such, “Talking about baby money/I got your baby money/Kidnap your bitch/Get that how much you love your lady money/ I know you fake n*gga/ Press your breaks n*gga/ I’ll take you out/ thats a date n*gga.” Then later Wayne says, “throw that alley-oop to Drake Griffin”…
