Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[P C H]

The Goat. My favorite (Posthumous) album from Makaveli

 

[Tigron]

Just to be clear, we're saying that when Ye arguably put out his best work (MBDTF) Wayne who was in between the carter 3 and 4, was 'running rap'
OK

 

[str8drop]

So I never cared much for dipset. To be honest, I think most West coast ****** only cared for them when we saw certified gangstas. Dudes were hype when that **** came out

Man, I was talking to the homie the other day about how hard of a coming out party Certified Gangstas was for both Jimmy and Game

Had _’s hella hyped fr

 

[Peep Game]

Blueprint 2.1 is a classic album

Jay knew how cheeks half of Blueprint 2 was that he made the abridged 2.1 version, and it was STILL cheeks

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Dipset got love on the east coast and in Chicago.

Jay z was not bigger than EM in 99,00,01

This is true
And people forget how big X was
X was bigger than jay

Jay fell off with that 03 bonnie and clyde BS.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Em was not bigger than X or Jay or Puffy in 99. Summer 2000 when Marshall Mathers came out is when Em went to biggest star level.

Came out in 99

 

[ninjahood]

You sound crazy, he took the best tracks from both discs and made 1 classic album

umm no he didn't, even da Criticism of 2.1 is he eschewed da better tracks no reasons.

somewhere in da pile of crap that is blueprint 2 Double disc is a classic... 2.1 ain't it.

its arguably da lowest point in Jay-Z's career.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Came out in 99

The people I said was still bigger than him at that time especially Puff and X.

 

[numbah1grimey]

Compared to what came before sure but that time period still had alot of heavy hitters making music

What heavy hitters? Beyond Rick Ross

 

[numbah1grimey]

Came out in 99

Outkast “Ms. Jackson” was bigger than this song, in 2000...

 

[Maximus Meridius]

SoundScan reported that DMX's CD moved 248,334 units, bringing its two week total to

918,561. That practically guarantees that Flesh of My Flesh-Blood of My Blood will go platinum (1 million copies sold) in just three weeks..

Slim Shady LP

The album was met with both critical and commercial success; critics praised Eminem for his unique lyrical style, and the record debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart behind TLC's FanMail with 283,000 copies sold in its opening week

This was like 6 months after X dropped his debute that did 4 mil. X was a f'n monster.

 

[ninjahood]

if DMX died after and then there was X he'd replace BIG as greatest rapper of all time...

he literally RAN it for those 3 albums.

 

[Master Zik]

That 3 album run is arguably the best run in rap period.

3 classics in a row.

I'll take that over Jay's "consistency".

 

[Maximus Meridius]

And Then There Was X did over 700k first week and 5mil

That 3 album run is arguably the best run in rap period.

3 classics in a row.

I'll take that over Jay's "consistency".

I wouldn't go that far. I'll take 20 years, great catalog and great business moves.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Em won the grammy and did 5 mill too

Ti. Jeezy. Ye.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

We know the deal with the Grammys lol

We talking about in 1999, Slim Shady lp sold 5 mil over years. It's Dark and Slim Shady came out 2 months apart. X did over 600k first week, Em did over 200k. It's really no debate.

Dammmn
U right I never even thought about it

 

[nawghtyhare]

No one gives a **** if an album won a Grammy or not
A majority of raps greatest classics
Undeniable classic albums
Were never even nominated
So Grammys don’t mean **** to ME

Arguable
Though
2pac me against the world all eyez on me and 7day theory
Would get my vote



What REALLY sucks
Is Ross
He honestly has had the most consistent and best discography in rap period but folks never gonna give it to him
Like I even admit I could never give it to him and I like Ross
A thread about this needs to be made
Dude has arguably the best discography in rap and will never get the true credit he deserves
Which he is partly to blame
If he woulda just been real from the jump over that co thing
Like no one thinks having a joba good job with benefits at that
Is lame
No one thinks that
He played himself

Ti. Jeezy. Ye.[/QUOTE]
If Jeezy woulda delivered another classic with tm103
He would be mentioned
But he fumbled
If he woulda held those best tracks
That he put on those mixtapes in between that album dropping
For 103
He woulda had it
Like the rescession had done so much
For him as far as folks Thinking he couldn’t rap
And all that
The recession to me is his best album

Everyone knows Grammys are popularity contest
