Raekwon mops the floor with it imo

yeah, 9 times outta 10 is really on some next level shit and it's weird that no other track sounds anything like it. but when i'm listening to the album i can't really be bothered to think about that sorta thing cause it's just such a good time.

yeah i like that raekwon some. thing is the production is wonderful and there are some crazy brilliant verses throughout, but raekwon as a rapper has not aged well imo. not like dude was the most charismatic guy to begin with, but he used to be graceful and sharp nowadays just sounds like he's shlepping himself around. quik and kurupt otoh are still virile as fuck.

I've still not heard the new Raekwon tape but I think the Mos Def comes close. Old rappers > New rappers :(

raekwon alb is totally by #s in comparison imho

i think rae has aged well, & i dont get what a hoy hoy is saying -- who is the 'new rapper' here? but rae's record is totally predictable in comparison to this

a little too many liberties taken by quik i think.

quik's rapping is dope thruout imo

I wasn't trying to start a crazy debate where you lecture everyone about Gucci. Just the three records I am going to love most this year will presumably be made by Raekwon, DJ Quik, Kurupt and Mos Def.

a ho ho ho

^^^pretty good comeback from yr zing if i do say so myself

anywayz man after getting pretty much entirely tired of talking about gucci it feels really great to come back to this LP ... i think one good thing abt feeling like gucci & related rappers are a 'center' around which the rest of the genre rotates is that records like this feel like they are kinda perfectly rated, neither under- nor clipse'd

my paper put out its top 10 this week and we voted BlaQKout to #3: http://www.citypaper.com/special/story.asp?id=19445

This will absolutely be in my top ten.

and you p+j folks better make sure this is in yours cuz why not not why

i never twigged that shipley and matos worked on the same paper til now, for some reason.

i voted for it in the guardian poll, hope it gets...at least one other vote :/

def in my top 10

my #1 easy

can't see past the-dream for no.1 : /

well it's my local paper and main outlet and Matos is one of the non-local freelancers (although he's written for it much longer). Jess used to be our music editor!

the-dream and q&k ended up being my 3 and 4 (can't remember which order i went with) after electrik red and taylor swift

i had Electrik Red and Quik trading places for #1 and #2 on my list for a few months before ER won out with a much higher iTunes play count

people forgetting UGK is depressing me

i haven't forgotten ugk! it'll make my top 20, maybe top 10

yeah it's more top 20 material than top 10 material for me too

quik & kurupt 2, ugk somewhere 9-11

i think my paper has this as #1 hip-hop album but then again i'm the only one there who writes about hip hop so

Yes, this is one of those rare pop records--and even rarer indie-pop records--where the "girl" mentioned in the lyrics could as easily be a daughter as a girlfriend.

lol for most pop records this would be...a problem

Top five for me. I dunno why I took so long to come around. "The Appeal" floors me.

have you floppin all around like a goldfish

G. to a tee
original like E.T.
chocolate thai and indo weed
you know it's me
D.P.G.

and it's me, Mr. Blake
with the cake that's
cheesy

let's go

drop it

cream in ya panties hands in the air all night baby pop that twat

I will give you writer's block if you abandon me!
