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
― xhuxk mangione (deej), Monday, 5 October 2009 10:25 (sixteen years ago)
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
― xhuxk mangione (deej), Monday, 5 October 2009 10:26 (sixteen years ago)
a little too many liberties taken by quik i think.
quik's rapping is dope thruout imo
― xhuxk mangione (deej), Monday, 5 October 2009 10:27 (sixteen years ago)
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.

^^^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

― SKATAAAAAAAAAAA (cozwn), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 14:12 (sixteen years ago)
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!
― some dude, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 14:16 (sixteen years ago)
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
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 14:17 (sixteen years ago)
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

― Drama Mama's and Papa's too! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 15:17 (sixteen years ago)
i haven't forgotten ugk! it'll make my top 20, maybe top 10
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 15:26 (sixteen years ago)
yeah it's more top 20 material than top 10 material for me too
― some dude, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 15:33 (sixteen years ago)
quik & kurupt 2, ugk somewhere 9-11
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 9 December 2009 19:07 (sixteen years ago)
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
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 9 December 2009 19:09 (sixteen years ago)
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
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 9 December 2009 19:14 (sixteen years ago)
Top five for me. I dunno why I took so long to come around. "The Appeal" floors me.

love this, imo not better than everything on blaqkout or whatever (never mind quik&sf classixx like "thinkin" or "if u stay ready" or "inside out" but pretty sweeeet. great 2 hear quik & sf back together
plz no more comparisons to 'arty' uk music just bcuz he slows down the tempo, tho

i like this better than a lot of shit on blaqkout but then again i didn't dig that as much as the rest of you guys
― funky house septics, let me drain you of this (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 00:49 (sixteen years ago)
blaqkout was much more of a break w/ the sound of classic quik, this sounds like a fresh but not altogether unique variation on the kind of stuff hes been doing since the late 90s
― n00b jack city (deej), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 01:10 (sixteen years ago)
i mean that in a broad sense, not in the premier-style bangers inc. sense

still great tho
