I don't know why, maybe it's the violence, but for example, and I don't wanna do this, but UGK ain't nothing compared to three six. You're talking 100 albums like Paul said. Just different leagues. But they will never get their due, and that's cool. Paul dgaf, they can live off 1990 show money if they have to. As a fan, I just want them to get the spotlight they deserve, like UGk did, but I understand they ain't really spotlight friendly, or even want to accept the spotlight. Compared to a personality like Pimp Chad who wanted allllllll the glory all the fame and whatnot.
Riff dropped another, btw. I called all this, but he surpassed my expectations. F'er has a Hollywood movie coming, and this is like 3 years after James Franco played him in a Hollywood movie.
Lil Dicky owns.
I mean he's totally a gimmicky niche artists, but he's good at the comedy rap.
I'll jump briefly into the UGK/Three 6 debate since it's from my era. First and foremost, I refuse to pick a favorite because they're both really high on my list.
I always thought UGK were much better rappers when it came to lyrics and flow. I looked at Three 6 for more of the shock value of the lyrics/dope beats. (Agree with morgousky about the really old Triple Six **** where they'd loop a sample 65 times consecutively on what sounded like a Fisher Price tape recorder is unlistenable now) Three 6 has a deeper catalog, though, which means there's more good songs as well as more bad ones.
I listened to rap in the 90s for mostly the bass for my system (I can't hear **** in my mid-30s. Yay teenager decisions). I tended to like the southern "beats" labels like No Limit, Cash Money and HCP over the East Cost stuff that was more lyrically focused with beats that didn't bump with that low growling bass.
I discovered UGK in 1993 after I bought the Menace II Society soundtrack ... on cassette. I really loved their collabos with No Limit from 96-98 and Ridin' Dirty, IMO, is one of the best rap albums of the 90s, maybe ever.
My old school jams:

Pretty much sums it up.
Man if we could have had a project pat/pimp c album that would have been the ultimate.
In other news...
Swizz Beats has a DMX album coming out. He sounded very convincing. I believe. I don't know if DMX can flow, every time I hear him speak he's all choppy and schitzo....but I ain't heard him rap. Rap was pretty much all X did, so I have faith. Guaranteed to blow that Zaytoven/JayZ out the water.
....assuming Swizzy stays off the gd hooks.
Learned swizz gave this nore but nore took it to his studio and only listened to the intro. Him and nature wrote their verses asap, finished it. Pun was on Nore's couch, wasn't supposed to be on the song, but he hopped in the booth one take crushed it and told Nore to delete it.
Noted. Keep us updated if anything changes.Don't even.......
Let the record show BBdK just accused riff raff of sounding like drake. I couldn't even diss drake that bad.
Noted. Keep us updated if anything changes.
Go listen to steely dan c-sucker
If you don't dissociate Kendrick with this post I will drive north of Memphis and shove GKMC right up your ***Grew up north of Memphis, we all listened to three 6 before they hit it big. In the rooster days. We were religiously on it.
Couldn't pay me to listen to that basment crap sound today.
Raps a landfill. If it isn't Eminem I don't even bother, but I do like Royce 5'9 and a few others.
Lil Wayne, drake, techno pop rapers ect. No thanks.
got lost on the youtubes a while back, and ended up on some horrorcore/rap stuff. Twiztid has some...interesting stuff.
If they play it on the radio, I ain't listening to it. Rap isn't the same as it was in the last 90's early 2000's, and that's not a good thing. Like someone said before, Eminem is the only MS artist worth a damn.
Did you just not listen to that big Sean song featuring your boy E.
Quit co-signing this garbage, E. If your such a GAWD then why in the hell did you give Big Sean a feature? Detroit boys, I guess. Whatever. Still makes him look like a clown by association.
I mean, the real E would laugh at big Sean and send a couple shots at him and the rest of these wackass rappers...
Kinda like how Kendrick dropped that ain't full of shots, saying it's over, no more funny business. Lmao...
...Kendrick hopped on a 21 savage track or some ****. Idk who, one of those clown, featuring Gucci Mane and Kendrick. A snippet "leaked" and internet went nuts lmao.
Again, why is k.dot the GAWD associating that whack ****.
Why is Jay Z working with gucci mane's mixtape producer.
There's no hope, imo. Not till this Raekwon drops. That's about it. Em or K.dot couldnt step on a Rae track and not look like total clowns with their wackass accents and techno rhyme patterns. Try telling a gd story. What's so wack about storytelling now?
Lol what. Em has his own label.
