MurcieOne Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Howard asked 50 if he was going to quit the music business – as he claimed he would – should Kanye West’s new album outsell his, so 50 confessed that the rivalry was just to promote records. -HowardStern.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Sep 13, 2007 -> 11:30 PM) -HowardStern.com Of course it was. Each one would have sold more had they debuted on different days though. Oh and anyone who thought 50 would've retired is just foolish.

bmags Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 people put way too much on this fifty-kanye thing, I disagree they would've sold more if they debuted different days, it's not a movie, where people will choose either/or, just getting people to the record store is more important.

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I've tried to like music in this genre, but I find very little in it of any musical value. Its kind of like horror flicks - a genre that is done often, and usually is both unoriginal and crappy. Once in a while, though, you get a winner.

If you haven't heard the glory that is Tim Dog than you are living a deprived life. Funny thing is I'm sort of serious. I'm one of the few people on Earth that enjoys his work. But this is not a recommendation for you to seek out his discography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had his moments from 1990 to 1993. "I Get Wrecked" is probably my favorite track from his catalogue, although he says some corny sh*t in the second verse. He's better than Ced Gee, though. At least he had that going for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is extremely corny. When he uses polysyllabic words it sounds like he doesn't even know what they mean. Probably grabbed a thesaurus when writing his rhymes. He is great at boasting though. You'd think he was the greatest rapper of all time with the things he said. I mean come on...when you title a song "You Ain't s***" that is just priceless.

sti3 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Penicillin on Wax has great beats and memorable, if crude, lyrics. His album with Kool Keith as Ultra, Big Time, has actually stood the test of time pretty well. At the very least he's provided vocal samples for hardcore techno artists (e.g. "Step to me if you're ready/You get chopped with a motherf***in' machete") for decades to come.

Oh yeah, any time Ced Gee is involved, you're gonna have some classic beats. He's easily a Top 10 producer in the history of hip hop, what with the Ultramagnetic albums and BDP's "Criminal Minded" under his belt.

I like Keith's verses on "Ain't Nobody Happenin" and "Industry Is Wack", but I thought that the album was a waste of money at the time. The "Industry Is Wack/Ain't Nobody Happenin" 12" is great, what with the Kutmasta Kurt instrumentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did actually have some albums from those folks - I even liked some. I liked some RUN DMC stuff, way back when. Mostly, I like Hip-Hop that's fun - not this gangsta tryin to be a badass stuff. That genre, to me, is best when it doesn't take itself too seriously. I actually liked, even better in that time period, the hip hop fusion with jazz stuff. Diggable Planets, Us3, etc. One could even put Tower of Power in there, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
