this thread is strictly for people here who are fans of hip-hop but think jay-z is wack, untalented, a joke, a fake, whatever. if you don't like hip-hop anyway close this thread. this is a really interesting and poignant story from 9th wonder, acclaimed producer of the hot underground group little brother. he recounts his own longtime prejudice against so-called commercial hip-hop, how he snapped out of it, and his recent studio time w/ jay-z. ----> <---- for the record, i love jay-z. he's not my favorite rapper (not even in the top 10) and i don't own all his albums but he is easily one of the most skilled emcees of our time and of all time. i eagerly anticipate . |

you know, i don't know much about jay-z, but having only heard his singles and the unplugged performance he did with the roots, i like him quite a bit more than other mainstream hip hop artists. most of them don't get enough appreciation from people who claim to like "underground" hip hop. on a basically unrelated note, i'm stuck back in 1999 listening to deltron 3030, which is a really amazing album. |

"Skilled"? I don't think I've ever come across anyone so obviously talentless |

he might ask you the same question if he didn't understand the concept of dialects. what did i say about non-hip-hop fans and this thread? i mean you can do what you want but what exactly are you getting out of it if you're not really into current hip-hop music? this isn't just to you giginger. |

jay-z is pimp iv'e always liked his shit (cept for some of his newer stuff) OKKKKKKKAYYYYYYYYYYYE ARE WE READYDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYE? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's dialects and then there's just plain mangling of a language. He spells the same words differently throughout. Motherfucker and Motherphucker. Just weird. Maybe there's a reason. Interesting read anyway as I think it applies to all music really. |

Jay-Z is obviously talented. You only have to listen to his albums to hear that. He is someone who can produce a commercially succesful album that has a proper mixture of radio friendly hits and darker tracks. He's not as good as Nas as far as I am concerned but he still has more talent almost all of MC's who come in for less stick. See the fucking stupid thing with modern hip hop is that other famous rappers have tried to copy Jay's style to try and get a commercial hit, instead they produce complete and utter shit and start saying "it is a piss take of rappers like Nelly and jay-z"...everytime I am like "what the fuck...hahaha...you only jealous because you can't do what he does." But again this all goes back into this media fuelled fasination with new genre definitions. Music should be judged by whether YOU like it or not. Fuck everyone elses opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just to add on about the Nas thing...Jay-Z has released more consistent quality in his albums over the years, but when Nas is allowed to flow the way he can, there are only a few rappers around who can match him. Just my opinion anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ummm. you obviously misinterpreted what i said. i said people who like underground hip hop, ie, not jay-z, probably dismiss his music, and the music of other mainstream artists. try reading peoples posts before you make stupid statements. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and why is it that whenever a topic like this pops up, more people who hate hip hop file in to dis it than those who actually like it? it shows alot about this board, and the supposed "openmindedness" that goes with all your musical knowledge. also, to whoever questioned the "dialects" being used, there is another artist who uses strange phrases and misspelled words. i think his first name is richard. |
||||||||

|
|
and reading the cotdamn link that the thread is about too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no shit! that's why i don't post as much, people here are closeminded as FUCK and they don't even know it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and some are condesending as fuck, and they dont know it either |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get the hell out of my thread you no-talent pathetic son of a bitch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats true as well. but, and this isn't directed at you per se, try to be a bit more open to different types of music before simply dismissing them as crap because they're "mainstream" or something. thats what pisses me off in topics like this, not simply people saying they don't like the music because it doesn't do anything for them. thats absolutely fine, point taken. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didnt say rap is crap. I just said I didnt like Jay-Z. that could mean various things. |
||||||||
|
|

this thread rocks. like too many other threads, instead of people IGNORING the threads that they have no interest in, they feel it it necessary to bash the topic-at-hand to prove that their opinion reigns supreme, and thus they are of elitest group. im not a big hip hop fan i wont lie im from detroit (cough-20miles outside of detroit-cough) and never really grew up too much on it. Didn't have the chance. I appreciate almost all music now (electronic music actually GOT me into other types of music); but for those who just bash, piss off. I've always liked Jay-Z since vol2. with hard knock life and can i get uh (popular songs that first made me get into him). After that I listened to quite a bit more (the non-radio songs off his albums) and really liked what I heard. I've had a pretty good overall feeling from him about his talent. |

i wasn't directing it at you, i'm just responding to what i thought was you calling me condescending, although it looks like that was directed at titsworth. alot of other people in this thread simply jumped on the opportunity to call something shit without even reading the provided link. thats all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it was not directed at you at all. I was refering to titsworth, who quickly proved my point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sorry, i shouldn't condescend to your level but i can rarely resist pointing out how much of a loser you are when you go out of your way to antagonize me. if you're not going to comment on the link, don't post. you must just love getting your bitch ass served because you know better than to say anything to me. i don't antagonize you, why do you have to be SO pathetic as to constantly talk about me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you werent such a condesending ass, I wouldnt feel the need to point it out. I find it amazing that people even put up with your BS. I guess your extensive knowladge (I do admit) on many musical subjects makes it worth putting up with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone could display the same 'extensive knowledge' if they chose to...all it takes is three minutes and a search engine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i just don't know why you can't just shut up. i don't post in your guestbook how unoriginal and boring your music is or how big of a dork you are. in fact, i don't talk to or about you. you know why? because i can't be bothered with people i don't like. and yet you can't show at least the same courtesy to me. there's absolutely no reason why you had to sabotage this thread except your being pathetic and desperate for attention, no matter how you get it (certainly no one's giving you attention for your music, so how about stirring shit? nice job.). i'm through with this. fuck you and stop talking to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly. i've never bragged about a damn thing on here, 90% of the info i tell people is stuff i've read. and if you're stepping in to defend your girlfriend i'm not giving you any further satisfaction by replying to trollish comments from you, her, or anyone else. |

i dont post in your guest book. this is not your site. |

Jay-Z is a wack bitch. |

See you acting like a fucking twat again...I wrote a perfectly good response in this thread to the topic title...then I wasn't criticising you when I said about this knowledge people go on about, you just put the effort in to find shit out. So then you have to go and attack me...and you are the sad little fucker accusing me of constantly having a dig at you??? Man, you seriously need to take a look at your own actions before you go criticising others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're such a BITER!! people who've been around this messageboard a while know what SORT you are, talking shit behind peoples backs, and taking digs at every opportunity at people you don't like. i've ignored you cos your just a lowlife piece of crap. you're pathetic, and your trollish behavior can be proved with a QUICK view at your posts and who your VILE diatribe is directed at.....do yourself a favor and take a GOOD look in the mirror cos you're a MAJOR hypocrite and coward! |
