Truth Hurts featuring Rakim "Addictive"
Lil Wayne "Way Of Life"

both are great! the truth hurts one is produced by dj quik,
whose music i almost never like. but it has a really cool
sample of an indian woman singing; it also helps that the
godfather of rap has a guest spot on the song. there's also
a very nice remix by dr. dre, who produced a lot of the
truth hurts album apparently and is producing most of
rakim's forthcoming aftermath debut.

as for the lil wayne song, which i heard for the first and
so far only time a few hours ago, i was shocked how good it
is. cash money is the second worst hip-hop "crew" out there
after no limit; third worst depending on how much bad boy is
sucking lately. but the beat (by mannie fresh, cash money's
in-house producer) is off the hook. very creative use of
drum rolls and bird chirping, and lil wayne actually has a
great flow on the song.

so while commercial rock gets worse and worse, i've been
able to count on commercial hip-hop for the last two or
three years to find diverse inspirations and keep stepping
up the creativity and better itself.

i don't really like commercial hh but i don't have such a
great contact with wide american rap scene here in poland as
u in us- but things like new busta or missy e are great and
interesting ones- timbaland and nerd are the most impressive
mainstream producers imho.

i'd like my lil wayne comment stricken from the record

turns out the song i've heard a few times ISN'T by him or
called that. the lil wayne song is a totally unrelated
single i hadn't even heard till i downloaded. the song i
meant was some retardedass song with great production and a
cheesy chorus sung by a rapper about being "hood rich"

since i removed one single i'll throw in another

nas "one mic"

that song is blazing. i can't believe nas produced it, it's
hot as hell.
