Wot songs/albums are u listenin to at the moment? Wot would u recommend we download/buy?

At the minute i'm feelin cormega - american beauty. the beat is sick, nod ya head music. Download that shit! Get his albums too they are all nice.

Also download Big L ft murda mase & mcgruff - Hell in harlem

Redman ft big pun, Big L, Biggie - I see dead people

Brother Ali - Shadows of the sun lp

I' listening to a mixed cd I made. Also the Eminem Show. I'm listening to Till I Collapse in that cd. In my mixed, Just The Two Of Us, Incomplete, 8 Mile Road, Bump heads, are just some of the songs I'm listening to on the mixed cd. I reccomend you download Luv Me by Eminem, 50 Cent, and Obie Trice. Also Assasins by Eminem, Obie Trice, 50 Cent, and Lloyd Banks

This is a serious question now... do u actually listen to anyone outside shady/aftermath mtv? Try downloading some brother ali and ali vegas. Look for industry talking by ali vegas, ul like that shit. U need to increase ur collection coz u just sound like a shady dick rider all the time. Look at mix tapes, listen to something new.

I just like their music. That's why I listen to them. And I listen to other people.
Will Smith
Nas
Nelly
Snoop Dogg
Styles P
T.I.
Ludacris

If u like nas try listening to cormega and AZ, they're both similar to Nas.
Scarface is another ud like, download his shit. Little brother are good, do alot of stuff with kanye, consequence is nice too. Im gonna list a few for u coz u need to get outta listenin to that commercial shit so much. Some is good yeah but most is shit.

Ali vegas
Papoose
Cormega
AZ
afu-ra
Big-L
Black moon

download some of this shit for a start, u might like it u might not.

^^AZ & Cormega r tight. Anythin by canibus is gd, on of his albums--> Can-i-bus
Common also has good stuff

I RECOMMEND:

EVERYONE to get Violent By Design by Jedi Mind Tricks.
every single song on that cd is good
theres no skip over tracks vinnie paz and jus allah are lyrical gods on this cd.
your life isnt complete until you hear some of these tracks they are amazing

JMT best rap group hands down, no competition

Jay-z good i admit
and eminem

JMT best rap group hands down, no competition
Non Phixion are alot better....

JMT best rap group hands down, no competition


all JMT is, is Vinnie who cant hold an album down himself (he proved that twice now) and cant spit a verse in one take and dont really rap about anything real (maybe like 3 tracks I ever heard from him was on some real shit, rest was bogus references to death and shit) and Stoupe holding down the beats, he;s the only reason JMT is what it is


supposedly Jus back now, so yeah they nice now again but HELL NO their not the best
not even close, not even worth mentioning


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I recommend

best song:

Why?
Welcome to D-Block

Welcome to Jamrock (something like that) - Damian Marley.

Non Phixion - The Future is now/Green CD
Sabac Red

i would recommend:

Styles P - A Gangster & A Gentleman
Sheek Louch - Walk Witt Me
Raekwon - Immobillarity (To 50 cent dick riders: Give this man i chance!)

these are all albums

Immobilarity is a nice album! No skip tracks on that album. Definately get that!

yeah, its his best album ever

all JMT is, is Vinnie who cant hold an album down himself (he proved that twice now) and cant spit a verse in one take and dont really rap about anything real (maybe like 3 tracks I ever heard from him was on some real shit, rest was bogus references to death and shit) and Stoupe holding down the beats, he;s the only reason JMT is what it is


supposedly Jus back now, so yeah they nice now again but HELL NO their not the best
not even close, not even worth mentioning



damn man u serious
he mite just rap all about death n shit but his lines are amazing
i havent heard anything like it in any other rapper

im gonna have to disagree with u on that one man calling vinnie bogus
and stoupe holding down the tracks, and jus allah???
i cant think of a lot of rap groups who are better
maybe not the best, but they are up there

yeah, its his best album ever


Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is 1000000 times better then Immobillarity.
That's not an opinion either.



damn man u serious

Vinnie did bring in a new form of emceeing and a lot of nobodies have tried to copy his success. But at the end of the day, what he says is not important.

If what you say is average, you will not be mentioned with the greatest rappers

Cormega

That's where Vinnie fits in. Because in 10 years people will still remember Biggie spitting Juicy, Pac spitting Changes, and so on. But NO ONE will remember Vinnie saying he'll leave you 'fucked up like sex on an airplane'.

Lame. Netcee mentality.

When Melle Mel made the Message, it was monumental
not only was it dope, it spoke on our issues

Cormega

What issues does Vinnie spit that you can relate to ?

None..............he's a gimmick rapper. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan and I tip my hat to what he did, but he's at the point in his 'career' where he can either be defined by saying some real shit or becoming dead and stagnant because he's been rapping about the same shit for the last 11 years. Kind of. Went from rapping about egyptian mytholodgy to breaking your back in interesting ways to holding hammers to 'our clique hustles jum' and back again to hurting you in the worst position in a turkish prison. :rolleyes:

Vinnie is bogus because of what I mentioned above
and because he can't hold an album down by himself

Stoupe DOES hold down the tracks........if you had some other lame instead of Stoupe then all you get is a 7L and Esoteric. :sick:

Jus Allah called Vinnie and Stoupe a bunch of faggots and left the group.
In essence he only appeared on one album with them. Supposedly he's back but that's another story. JMT is and always will be Vinnie and Stoupe, no one else. Vinnie said so himself.


Better groups / duos then JMT ?


Gangstarr
Wu Tang
Juice Crew
Firm
Talib / Hi Tek
Mobb Deep
Black Market Militia
Screwball
MOP
Dead Prez



keep going ?

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is 1000000 times better then Immobillarity.
That's not an opinion either.
I can only agree with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cormega-The saga remix

Dis is Nice

I like JMT, I think they have something to vibe too.

Gangstarr-> Ain't heard much of.
Wu Tang -> I would aggree they are one of the best groups in History.
Juice Crew-> Don't know them.
Firm-> Don't know them.
Talib / Hi Tek-> I would highly disagree, I really don't like them.
Mobb Deep-> Again, they bring alot to the hardcore style, but don't like them as much as JMT.
Black Market Militia->Don't know them.
Screwball-> Don't know them
MOP-> I think they are well below JMT
Dead Prez-> I prefer JMT better, but like some of Dead Prez's political stuff.

All the ones that I don't knoiw I'll check out.
Also, JMT have done many great collab's, especially on the album Visions from Ghandi. I don't think Vinnie Paz is the best on his own, but with other people I think he bring's something different. Him and Jus Allah are good together.

him and Jus are great together...........


and with all your opinions on those crews...........you need to know the difference between what your opinion is and what fact is. I like JMT better then MOP but in terms of significance, influence, how long they been around, who they worked with, and all that other stuff......MOP is a lot more legendary then JMT, by far.



Gangstarr-> Ain't heard much of.

Its DJ Premier (arguably the best hip hop producer of all time) and Guru, one of the smoothest emcees ever on a mic. He changed the game and brought forth a new genre blending jazz and hip hop.


Wu Tang -> I would aggree they are one of the best groups in History.

Juice Crew-> Don't know them.

Big Daddy Kane
Biz Markie
Craig G.
Kool G. Rap
Master Ace
Marley Marl
MC Shan
Roxanne Shante
Intellegent Hoodlum aka Tragedy Khadafi

simply put Juice Crew is prolly one of the best of all time
Wu Tang is the only other crew even worth mentioning next to them


Firm-> Don't know them.

Nas
Az
Cormega (originally)
Nature (replaced Mega)
Foxy Brown


never heard Desperados ft. Canibus by the firm ?
dude check em out, lol, they formed in mid to late 90s

Talib / Hi Tek-> I would highly disagree, I really don't like them.

as I said....opinion and fact are two different things
Talib has accomplished way more, and Hi Tek is one of the most under rated producers in the game

Mobb Deep-> Again, they bring alot to the hardcore style, but don't like them as much as JMT.

same comment.........Infamous and Hell on Earth are considered all time classic albums by all of hip hop, they brough forth the modern Queensbridge era. JMT aint on their level.

Black Market Militia->Don't know them.

Killah Priest
Tragedy Khadafi
Hell Razah
some two other nobodies......

Screwball-> Don't know them

underground group out of QB
Blaq Poet is prolly the best known member

I Recommend:

"R.B.G." & "Let's Get Free" By dead prez
"Warning Shots" By Saigon
"I Don't Care (The Mixtape)" By Grafh

.........

Aight I knew most of them as individuals. I base most of what I write on opinion, as the only thing fact can truely be measured in is record sales.

I recommend:

Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - I Wish My Brother George Was Here (1991)

This album was totally slept on. It's in my top ten list somewhere.

as the only thing fact can truely be measured in is record sales.

No, even that is totally relative and skewed.


Sales in underground and sales in mainstream are two different things
the economics is way different, the distribution, the measure of sucess all different
and i say skewed because EVERYONE knows that major labels buy their own records to boost sales and in the end it dont really cost them a penny anyhow, they actually profit of it a bit, it so fucked up

if an artist sells 1 million, a label can buy as much as half those albums
so in fact only half a million got sold to real people, the other half the company just bought itself


trust moi or go talk to any industry person assuming you know one






nothing is set in stone
but you can make generalizations about who is more significant to hip hop (not better, significant is the key word)

R.B.G.....................R.B.G................... Nigga This That R.B.G....................Are You D.O.W.N.?
