Ok I know that there were releases and artists left off of my list that will anger a few so I will go through the big snubs and tell you why.. and also tell you who I wish I would've added and should have added
First I left off American Gangster, The Graduation, and Curtis, for different reasons..
I thought Curtis was trash and haven't checked for 50 since Get Rich or Die Trying.. He lost that edge.. As a business man I respect the shit out of him, even as a writer, he's just not for me...
I left off Graduation, because I can't stand Ye.. Granted I love the aesthetics and production of the Graduation.. Im not sold on Ye as an emcee.. He has grown into one.. but not enough for me to handle a full cd.. "Can't tell me nothing" was my jam though all summer...
I left off American Gangster for almost the same reason as Graduation.. Its put together beautifully and Jay is decent in delivery... but as Jay said "We don't believe you you need more people.." I feel like this album was more about buying back his street cred than anything else.. and it came off like Nina Brown said "your uncle telling you how good the dope game was" It felt contrived and forced due to Kingdom Come's reaction.. Honestly I liked that more because I like to see growth not regression.. There were a lot of fools who didn't like Kingdom.. but I did.. It was something to look forward to.. a seven hundred million future.. So you rhyme about happiness and wealth.. Why go backwards.. I Feel as though it sets a bad example but whatever.. I just think Jay is too far past the drug game to still sell the Drug game..
Im not really into Papoose.. He reminds me of a smart dude but not really intelligent.. there is a huge difference.. He tries to invoke positivity into his music but sells everything else.. Like recently he did an interview stating he was ok after being sucker punched.. and the interview closes with him looking at a picture of Malcolm looking at Elijah... Now think do you think either would approve of Papoose and his message.. his antics.. or what have you... It just doesn't seem valuable.. Plus if he was going to blow he wouldve by now people have been waiting since they heard him with G. Rap ten years ago.. Let it go...
Im not really feeling anyone who is beefing right now.. We need to get past it.. but I am feeling.. Young Chris.. Will I Am.. Dj Jazzy Jeff.. Slim Thug.. and so on.. Im looking forward to each of their projects along with Wu again..Dr Dre's Detox.. and Joe Budden's project Mood Music 3.. Part 2 is in my top 3 of all time.. Im scared I will be disappointed but whatever so is life I hope you enjoyed later homes.. "On my Eric Benet shit fuck everything"
