"kurupt tries hard to say nothing in the most complicated way posssible"
This only really makes sense talking about "9xs Outta 10" (although could apply just as well to Quik on "Hey Playa!" or "Jupiter's Critic & the Mind of Mars"). The rest of the album Kurupt is a lot more understandable.

i disagree w this -- i think its pretty obvious what hes talking about on hey playa. jupiter's critic is a lil more oblique but its still got pretty concrete concepts going on
i.e. 'dropped by the majors,' owing taxes, etc

my favourite moment on the album might be when, after 'exodus' has bounced abstractly hither and thither for three minutes, suddenly BOOM the beat drops for the intense focus of '9xs outta 10'

i'm gonna come clean and say that i think yall are overrating this album
it's pretty amazing sonically but the rapping is kinda boring - a little too many liberties taken by quik i think. like, being funny & goofy and not caring so much about rhyming & flowing can be cool but i think there needs more verses a la "9xs outta 10" where the verses really make you go O_O in a technically skillful sense
― autogoon delight (J0rdan S.), Monday, 5 October 2009 04:30 (fifteen years ago) link
man idunno, name a verse you think is boring. the only song i dont basically love is "the appeal"

Raekwon mops the floor with it imo
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 5 October 2009 04:40 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 5 October 2009 04:42 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 5 October 2009 04:51 (fifteen years ago) link
I've still not heard the new Raekwon tape but I think the Mos Def comes close. Old rappers > New rappers :(
