i think styles p found the closest thing to a rhyme for "orange" with "garbage" -- or at least the way he says it
― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 August 2010 06:18 (thirteen years ago) link
yes i like that couplet

i had never heard "where i wanna be," nor had i heard "back like that." they are both great!

songs on this list that talk about see through panties: 2
isnt the song called 'addictive'?
― max, Monday, 9 August 2010 06:31 (thirteen years ago) link
if im voting 'favorite' than yeah that but in terms of 'best rap/r&b crossover'... i dunno man that doesnt feel like a crossover, rakim owns that track so hard he makes all of truth hurts verses sound like an extended intro
― max, Monday, 9 August 2010 06:32 (thirteen years ago) link
there is a part in "okay" that sounds just like my alarm clock -- i'm having like a reverse pavlovian reaction

shade sheist song is dope, def not quik though
it's actually only two creepy things -- in the intro being all "i want to be your father, your mother, your brother, your sister" and then being "you were 9 but you were fine"

there's some joints on here that would've made my list -- there's also some utter crap, but i'm gonna download
― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 August 2010 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah that mix has some jams besides the 4 that are also on my list, but it's also full of the sort of stuff i strenuously avoided and could've written essays about why they aren't on the list
― Tuomgwai -- Come On Da Young (some dude), Monday, 9 August 2010 16:41 (thirteen years ago) link
the only song I really hate on this list is Luv You Better, cuz I can just imagine LL Cool J performing it with a single tear like the Indian from that one old commercial...
― plate of dinosaurs (San Te), Monday, 9 August 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link
btw there are some good mixtapes out there with every Fabolous R&B feature, every Jadakiss R&B feature, etc.

yeah i fucked that up, i always think Rakim is saying "addicted" in his verse and get the title wrong. anyway there's a lot of stuff on this list that doesn't totally jibe with the overall concept and spirit but i just kind of kept to the basic frame of a) i like it and b) it features an R&B singer singing and a rapper rapping (only abandoned this for the Snoop and Cee-Lo songs where they rap and sing, and the Diddy/Keyshia song where they both just sing). a lot of songs COULD have fit on here and been interesting conversation pieces but i just didn't like them enough.
― Tuomgwai -- Come On Da Young (some dude), Monday, 9 August 2010 17:11 (thirteen years ago) link
oh i wasnt criticizing it being on the list it definitely counts, i was making a more general point about the extent to which rakim murders that shit
― max, Monday, 9 August 2010 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
totally disagree that rakim steals the show from truth hurts, it's a great verse but her performance is amazing too
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 9 August 2010 17:47 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah idk, i feel like she's window dressing for dope production and an amazing guest verse
― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 August 2010 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
nah not at all, relistening now and she's definitely as much the focal point as anything else - those words could be performed in so many ways along the ingénue/dominatrix spectrum and she pitches it perfectly between in-charge feline prowling and on-edge creeping powerlessness. the way she ups the ante on every line of the second verse alone is awe-inspiring - if anything's the climax of the song it's that verse.

Voted for "Slow Jamz," although reading this thread the other day put "Can't Let You Go" in my head.
― jaymc, Monday, 9 August 2010 18:11 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i had forgotten how much i love "can't let you go"
― horseshoe, Monday, 9 August 2010 18:12 (thirteen years ago) link
lex are u really trynna argue that effin truth hurts was on par with rakim
thats like hearing a bleek guest verse on a mary j blige song & saying he holds his own
― blap...tremendo (deej), Monday, 9 August 2010 23:42 (thirteen years ago) link
that rakim verse is stupid. cannot in anyway get along with his rakim escobar change up.

not to get all shippers up in here but the suicide/cobain pun is approaching "bullshit"/"pulpit" levels

lex otm about "addictive". great performance, great tune. obv rakim is great on it too, but some of you are paying more attentionto the names involved than the actual song
