album is decent, a little slow at times

"did drag-on really kill numerous tracks though?"

Every track he's done on a Ruff Ryders album, a DMX album, or any other collab I can remember was better than any song he ever put on his solo CDs.

8/24/2005 3:18:44 PM

^that still doesn't mean it was any good though

8/24/2005 3:27:25 PM

Kanye is the best there is hands down...

^^goddamn, you are ignorant in the world of rap

8/24/2005 4:15:02 PM

goddamn i know what im talking about, and just who is the best??

8/24/2005 5:32:43 PM

8/24/2005 6:36:01 PM

if he's the best there is, then I really need to know exactly what your criteria is.

8/25/2005 7:47:52 AM

album of the year

my faves (in no order):
heard em' say
touch the sky
gold digger
drive slow
hey mama
gone

8/25/2005 12:50:27 PM

this isn't even the album of the season, as I GUARANTEE that the Little Brother album will shit on this. As far as the YEAR goes, the Game's cd really takes a big steamy dump on this.

no way


little brother is going to dookie all over everybody

but the game's cd was garbage except for the singles

8/25/2005 1:32:40 PM

The Game is horrible.

8/25/2005 2:25:57 PM

^he's better than 50 Cent, but thats not really saying anything

8/25/2005 2:51:30 PM

Jayz, Eminem, and Kanye are the best there is...

Some of my other favorites... Slim Thug, Mike Jones, Outkast, Ying Yang...

But who is Little Brother?

8/25/2005 3:39:44 PM

god damn you are ignorant in the world of rap

ok, I agree that little brother will be a good album, possibly the best of the year

I meant kanye's album is the best so far this year...if outkast puts out another album before the end of the year then they will prob. be up there too

and also if dr. dre ever puts out detox, but i dont think that's coming for a while

the game's album was alright, but it wasnt very different from the normal g-unit album, kanye's album was more creative and experimental than most others.

if kanye and outkast's direction is where hip-hop is going then I'll be a happy man

8/25/2005 4:21:49 PM

^ahh... a man who wants filler and who considers anything different from the norm to be great, just b/c it's different, and not for it's actual quality. Good good.

8/25/2005 4:45:42 PM

yeah thats almost as bad as people who havent ever listened to anything they didnt hear about from their mainstream radio disc jockey or from TRL or on rap city

8/25/2005 4:49:25 PM

man, I dont wanna hear that shit, I listen to mainstream and underground rap (I still think saukrates' underground tapes is one of the best albums ive heard), I like the kanye album because its not the same as the shit you normally hear, I'd like it whether it was mainstream or not.

just because its "mainstream" doesnt mean its not better than 95% of the stuff that comes from the unsigned artists

8/25/2005 4:54:53 PM

Right now, Be is my favorite album of 2005 (how could no one else mention this?!)...Game's album was tight for a minute, but now I listen to it and I'm like...ehh.



IN STORES SEPTEMBER 13TH!!!

8/25/2005 7:00:42 PM

i must say

the shit's hot

8/25/2005 9:33:42 PM

it is growing on me

inasmuch as i can not stop listening to it

8/25/2005 9:44:01 PM

I didnt think it was that good.

8/25/2005 10:23:31 PM

he sounds like a fucking faggot on a few of these songs

8/25/2005 10:30:57 PM

^haha that's funny if u saw his "all eyes on me" piece.

8/25/2005 10:37:27 PM

Seeing some of the other rap albums that were hyped and then were duds, this was a pleasent change.

50's new cd was complete garbage, I liked the first cd a lot, but was unable to find ONE track on the second that I really just loved.
As much as I like Eminem's old stuff, that new album he released was terrible, that stupid "Ass Like That" video was retarded, at times I didn't even want to believe it was him.
The Game's cd was alright, dude is very arrogant and undeservingly, but I think it plays well with his music, decent album but not anywhere in contention with "album of the year".

At first glance I thought the new Kanye cd had a few good tracks and then some that I didn't really like too much, but after a few spins I'm starting to like it a little more each time. He does have a different sound, and I know some people don't like it and that's cool, but I like the sampling he does and the voice effects and stuff. Outkast is doing some different stuff too but aside from a few songs on their last album I wasn't a major fan of it though it was critically acclaimed.

Do I think this is a good second album for Kanye? Definitely, stays strong and still trying some new things, I really like the "Gold Diggers" track with Jamie Foxx doing the Ray Charles impression. The skits are ok, they are much better than the old Eminem skits with Ken Kaniff and all that crap.

Is it the rap album of the year? Kinda hard to tell, so far I'd say it is, but the year isn't over, and I don't really know that Little Brother guy and I'm sure I won't ever hear him unless I download his tracks so it's highly unlikely that it will win album of the year except in your hearts, haha.

Guess everyone better get use to Kanye, with a second album like this and the hype surrounding him, seems he'll be around for a while.

wrong. you should get familiar especially since they're from Raleigh-Durham, and they're signed to Atlantic which happens to be a major label. Also, the editor in chief of the source resigned his job because he was gonna rate their album 4.5 mics but benzino wouldn't let him, and made him change the rating to 4 mics. And they've done a track with kanye, their producer did 2 songs for destiny's child, one of which was a single, as well as a track for jay-z.

http://www.littlebrothermusicinc.com/

launch the e-card and preview the album. shit already sounds better than kanye's.

8/25/2005 11:55:02 PM

hahahaha

"Little Brother guy"

8/25/2005 11:59:11 PM

Who is this Wu-Tang person I've heard of?

8/26/2005 12:24:32 AM

Well, with a singular name like "Little Brother" I presumed it was one guy, but after looking back at that picture I see that it APPEARS to be 3 guys, and one looks like Biz, haha.

Wu-Tang CLAN is plural, much easier to see that there WAS more than one person in it.

8/26/2005 9:33:16 AM

has anyone revoked his rap card yet

if so, i call dibs

8/26/2005 9:36:58 AM

Watched the video they have, sounds alright, hope the rest of the album is better than that though if they want a shot at "album of the year". But if they have Jay-Z and Kanye helpin' 'em on some tracks, then I'm sure they'll have better tracks.

8/26/2005 9:47:21 AM

I'll support them if only because they're from the area, but until I hear the whole album, I'm not going to predict this to be album of the year.

And you can revoke whatever you want, ain't gonna stop me from listenin to what the hell I want to, haha.

Dang, Kanye is helping a LOT of people, I'm still waitin for him to step way outside and cut a track with Coldplay, haha, that would be hot.

8/26/2005 9:49:57 AM

def dont buy it, i dont think its a good cd overall. so just download the songs u like and leave the cd on the shelf

oh, yeah I definitely know what you mean.

Like LB's album can't be classic if Jay-Z or Kanye don't hop on it? Fuck that. Trust, LB is your favorite rapper's favorite rappers.

Some bullshit politics kept 'em from 4.5 mics in the Source and a XXL in (well) XXL.

packguy381, you going to the show at the Black Cat?
