re: pusha t's ghostwriting line
VIBE: Judging from the response on the Internet, the one line from the song that plenty of people heard is, “Tell Hova don’t pass the crown so soon, Unless he got a crown for every writer in the room/There’s too many spirits on these ghostwritten tunes, So you can’t crown the heir until you séance the room.” Can you clarify exactly what you meant by that?
Pusha T: I actually wrote my verse [around the time] “D.O.A.” dropped. I just feel like there are a lot of new artists in the game that still have to prove themselves. You hear so much talk about who’s next and who’s up next and who’s the man and so on and so forth. In all fairness, I feel like Jay-Z is still relevant. He’s still the rapper. He’s the crown-holder right now. But, you know, he cosigns plenty of artists all the time, so I just wanted to tell him not to pass the crown too soon because we don’t know enough about these artists yet. We need to do checks on them first and see what they’re all about. Obviously, ghostwriting is a very big thing going on, too. So we gotta see who the man is behind all of these joints if that’s what’s going on.

Yeah, how anyone mistook that for a Jay diss is retarded.

belongs in "lol but kind of sad" thread imo
"won't be right" is like my favorite song ever, but the video cuts off the first few bars which imo takes away from its gravitas

what y'all think of the new eminem??
http://www.eminem.com/notafraid/
at least he seems a little more focused on the mic and rhyming with a little more passion again...track is a little dreary faux dramatic shit but i dunno...better than poo poo pee pee insult comic eminem

yeah.....it's weird how for years he'd barely collaborate with anyone outside Aftermath, now he's all up for being on fuckin' Drake and B.o.B. records.

Eminem should just stop rapping.

ummmmi somehow missed this but....this is trae on an ELECTRIC WIZARD sample, or it might be a reinterpolation cuz it sounds way less sludgy than the original

"Rumors" is the next single to be released. The song is about all the rumors that Waka Flocka Flame deals with the public saying about him.[3]
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 May 2010 02:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Afaic, I have not heard any rumors about Waka Flocka Flame.

out here all of the public is always spreading rumors about waka flocka flame
maybe this is a diss to whomever he was complaining about for referring to him as lyrical

so how bout that new Cam/Vado am i right!?!?!?
interested to see if you all start liking this after some of the custodians of rap-blog taste have all of a sudden woke up to it
sliiiiiiime

it's almost as if there hasn't been very much good rap this year so people are really reaching for things to talk about on blogs
― contl;drizer (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 13 May 2010 14:10 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah thats true but also
its good
and araabmuzik is undeniably killing it. no one is really coming close to him this year. and it's just great to see an old stalwart come back with great music like cam and fab a few months before
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Thursday, 13 May 2010 14:37 (thirteen years ago) link
also when some guy named Roc marciano is getting hype, you know there some sort of void...so maybe youre right a little bit but i still think the second two entries in this trilogy are genuinely exciting, progressive music for this space
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Thursday, 13 May 2010 15:10 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess my prob is that i'm by nature pretty skeptical of vado & haven't seen anyone (even noz or tom b, both of who mentioned something about the vado tape yesterday) articulate why he's good or why i should spend my time listening to this mixtape other than the fact that he has a cool ad lib (welcome to 2006?)
― contl;drizer (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 13 May 2010 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
& i really didn't like the last cam'ron album, pretty much at all - it had like 3 good songs
first of all crime pays is dope.
second, i dont understand why someone has to articulate why a rapper is good. just listen to him. this isnt like a liberal arts writing workshop
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Thursday, 13 May 2010 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link
what's a vado song i should hear.
also when some guy named Roc marciano is getting hype, you know there some sort of void
why shouldn't he? he's a good rapper.
― you better check that sausage before you put it in the rofl (M@tt He1ges0n), Thursday, 13 May 2010 15:40 (thirteen years ago) link
your credibility as to what would be a dope Cam'ron album or Cam'ron protege is strained in the same way that the lex calling J.Lo a great pop star doesn't really mean anything, because if someone's never displayed an ability to identify a bad example, what use is their idea of a good example?
