that... this is terrifying

Indolence Mission (DJP), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link

i like the beat better than most of MBDTF and it's a good look for lex luger i think but wow the rapping is dire. who is kanye trying to ape in the first verse?

lex diamonds (lex pretend), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link

good beat. bad rapps. lex luger is a great producer.

disappointed that GIS wouldn't help me find a picture of a toilet on a TV screen

some dude, Tuesday, 11 January 2011 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link

has any artist lost it as completely and totally after being so brilliant for so long as jay?

rod stewart is the one that comes to mind

thank god this has a thread so it doesn't slip by our attention

hahaha the weird classical breakdown reminds me of the Great and Mighty Poo from Conker's Bad Fur Day lol

^^^way better song

lemmy ruxpin (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 16:31 (thirteen years ago) link

god this sounds like one of those things where some random internet guy raps over a real beat and uploads it to napster as "NEW KANYE/JAY-Z"

max, Tuesday, 11 January 2011 16:32 (thirteen years ago) link

the beat is not redeeming either of them. it makes everything worse. i'm sure its pretty great on it own but the whole package is insufferable

in fairness this is exactly what happened; it's only a coincidence that it's actually Kanye and Jay-Z

Indolence Mission (DJP), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 16:36 (thirteen years ago) link

people who act like Lex Luger is a great producer are fronting harder than people who act like Jay and Kanye are still great rappers imo

lol @ Kanye trying to doubletime for practically the first time in his career, and still filling a bunch of bars with grunting "HAHHH"

some dude, Tuesday, 11 January 2011 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link

the beat reminds me of some trae song i can't remember the title of

lemmy ruxpin (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link

(the main beat not the tarded classical stuff)

some dude acting like 'like me' or 'grove st party' are flukes is fronting harder that his initial reaction couldnt possibly be incorrect

ich bin ein ilxor (deej), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link

You both are right to an extent -- lex proved himself to be more creative than maybe a lot of us thought, but ppl aren't trying to get "grove st party" beats from him. Everyone wants "bmf" and now we're on like the the 56th incarnation of that beat

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 11 January 2011 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link

there should be a poll -- in which year in the next 10 will people finally stop caring about new jay-z music?

you might as well be asking when people will stop making a big deal over shitty new U2 or Paul McCartney albums i.e. never

ich bin ein ilxor (deej), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 18:44 (thirteen years ago) link

i gues this isn't really my biznass but if there's one thing that i really admire about al it's his ability to -- seemingly -- not hold grudges & in a way evaluate songs/albums as if previous works by the artist didn't exist

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 11 January 2011 20:05 (thirteen years ago) link

jay-z sounds hilarious on his chorus!

bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link

Man. Both Nas/Lil Jon collabs that I know of are awesome.

Anyway, the beat is awesome and al is mad, Kanye sucks, the classical bits suck, Jay is ok.

"Grand Finale" for sure

surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 11 January 2011 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, the Nas/Lil Jon songs are fantastic. "Grand Finale" is really good too.

i don't think the beat on h.a.m is good at all. it's got no knock, would sound pretty unremarkable on a mixtape. kind of imagine lex luger rolling his damn eyes @ jay z and kanye wanting to make a retarded attempt at high art & probably making 100 grand or whatever ppl get paid for jay z beats for adding an opera sample to something he had prepared for a french montana mixtape cut

flopson, Tuesday, 11 January 2011 22:27 (thirteen years ago) link

I just figured the opera was Kayne's meddling.

Don't get why you've latched on to "Grove St. Party" as a standout, maybe my least favorite song on Flockaveli.

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leftkrHJkw1qf8yek.gif its not jibber jabber hoos

al initially argued that lex was one dimensional
i think hes in denial
because its bcome evident that isnt true
& said he was fronting otherwise

ich bin ein ilxor (deej), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 01:17 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah I think this 'album' is gonna be terrible with like 2 or 3 ok songs and maybe 1 pretty good one.

let's not play armchair psychologist about whose stated opinions are honest and who's living in a funhouse mirror world of denial, okay? i mean he's got some good beats that don't sound like his 2 big hits on Flockaveli, but i don't think it's too crazy to say hey let's pump the brakes on "great producer" until he has a 3rd hit or shows some serious versatility or consistency.

men are from mars, bruno has no penis (some dude), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 01:27 (thirteen years ago) link

if u want me to say southside on the track is a better producer i agree
but i think hes established dude has skills, he produced the bulk of flockaveli which is already being considered a classic ... if thats all he ends up doing hes carved a spot for himself

ich bin ein ilxor (deej), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 01:31 (thirteen years ago) link

yes, that's exactly what i want you to do, i want you to say that someone i've never heard of is a better producer, you read my mind

men are from mars, bruno has no penis (some dude), Wednesday, 12 January 2011 01:34 (thirteen years ago) link

i love that deej's posting style has just devolved typing a bunch of gibberish with someone associated with Brick Squad and then getting all defensive about it

Question for people who know things about major label machinations...
re: this: http://pitchfork.com/news/45713-jay-z-and-kanye-west-settle-syl-johnson-lawsuit/
How could that album have ever come out with such a prominent sample uncleared? Aren't there entire legal departments that make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen, or is there a point where labels at that level go "eh - let's see what happens"?

Walter Galt, Monday, 12 March 2012 13:10 (twelve years ago) link

i don't know if it makes a difference, but that was one of the songs from the G.O.O.D. Fridays series back almost a year before WTT dropped, and was only on the deluxe edition of the album. so maybe they just threw it on as a bonus track at the last minute and didn't go through the usual process with it? i agree that that's surprising, though. last month Tyga's album almost got pulled from stores because his dumb ass put an uncleared sample of Martin Luther King Jr. on the album.
