“The life span of a rapper is three years.”
Sheeeit, even less than that these days. In his first webisode, Joey Crack says that more LP’s are sounding like street releases. He also quips that if hip-hop’s rookies don’t step it up, the game’s going to look like the soup kitchen.
Secret Weapon: DarkNyte
I disagree lot of rookies(Wale, Drake, J Cole, Kid Cudi, XV, B.O.B., ect) are putting out mixtapes that sound better then studio albums but I guess he could be talking bout NYC rappers in which case he would be right.
Fat Joe may have a point, but isn’t he also included in this opinion? I mean who is really anticipating J.O.S.E. 2? I’m just sayin.
Most rappers wouldn’t know how to construct a true ALBUM of work if the instructions were digitally imprinted on their brainwaves. Prince Paul needs to teach a course at Columbia or something…
The reason most ‘official’ releases sound like mixtapes is because the ‘guest mc’ has become commonplace. AFAIC, mixtapes became official releases over 5 years ago.
Fat Joe and these fools aren’t fooling anyone.
wow sideshow you going at nyc son….
truly. does Joe think he’s bringing news? GTFOH.
@wow
I’m not going in on NYC but you can’t name one up and coming NYC rapper that has recently put out a mixtape as relevant as any of the people I named(and no, don’t even think about saying Charles Hamilton). Sorry but the truth hurts, sure New York has numerous veterans but where all the young talent at?
^
He’s got a point there. There hasn’t been a new-new york artist to emerge in a minute.
I HOPE HIS TENTH SOLO ALBUM WILL BE A BACK TO SCHOOL OF NYC ISH MORE THAN LIL KIM PORNSTAR SONG
I STILL ENJOY SOME OF HIS TRACKS IN EACH ALBUM
BUT I REALLY HOPE DAT
PEACE
FUCK FAT JOE!! TELL HIM TO STOP TRYIING TO FIT IN WITH THE SOUTH!!
Fat joe cool but he wouldn’t be shit with out pun. And he always followed trends his whole carrer.
look hip-hop aint dead!!!first of all!!! second the game aint a game,its a bizness.and you ask me thats whats screwd hip-hop up.they knew these youngmen would sacrafice anything to get a contract,better yet to get out the hood.so these labels are working the slave traid in a new way.they get these youngmen to sign a contract for xamount of dollars.(more then most would see in a liftime,or on the streets husslin)then they tellem hey i need a song that sounds like this man,or i need a hit record!and these men go out and do what that lable(slavemaster)has told them to do.
so in a nutshell yeah these dudes are putting out cd’s thats sounding like mixtapes cause these men gotta eat.and the mixtape biz is booming!so can you or i be mad at these men trying to eat?
The only New York artist to have a dope mixtape this year was Skyzoo:The Power of Words
don’t forget to cop his debut album “the Salvation” which hits store tommorow
why is this cat so underated. Don’t sleep Brooklyn
And what about mickey factz… I enjoyed all his mixtapes. This kid is nice on the mic
and didn’t Cory guns just put out a mixtape with dj drama?
the rap game is all fucked but only in the main stream media jay-z just put out the blue print 3 and it was number 1 on the charts but it was the worst album he ever made and its still better the most albums out right now and that’s sad but there is a bright side people in ever city there are artiest staying true to the game making mix-tapes making music there way the true to the streets way and you wont hear it on the radio because if you did there music would change just look at Gucci mane and plies they were hot on the street but when they tried to go main stream they sucked ass look at Lil Wayne his mix tapes were FIRE but his albums PLEASE!!! need i say more. in closing all i can say is support your local artist so they can keep making the music you like in my area the d.m.v we got allot of tight rappers but you will never hear them on the radio like the ”mob boys ” chaos” the committee boys”and them rollinup records dudes . I’m glad there not on the radio cause i now there music would change and i like bump there shit in my car.
If he rapped what he talks then maybe he would be dopper
ya the new rapper comment was way off wiz khalifa’s flight school alone would have made for a classic album him as well as currensy, drake , nipsey hussle, cool kids and pac div…honestly what more could u ask for?
