    Hell Hath No Fury was criminally underrated. Pharrell gives his boys the best beats IMO.

    Definitely. That was right around the time he was doing those Gwen Stefani songs, then all of a sudden comes this album with all these amazing beats, you know you had to be saving them.

    Have you heard the album?


    I have, and I have to say...the album is pretty incedible.


    I know a lot of people on these board does not listen to, like, or can even tolerate rap. However, "Tha Carter III" is our generation take on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" in terms of moving hip-hop forward after a stagnant period.

    Love it or hate it, hip-hop is a legiimate music genre presently. And this album is a bonafide classics in that it's smart, sharp, and well produced. It's an important album for music in that it's moving hip-hop forward.


    Sure there are a number of horrid rap acts, but have you listened to modern rock radio lately? It's pretty awful too.


    so lil wayne is going to revolutionize hip hop the way dr dre did?

    he created an entire sound that dominated for years... and this lil wayne guy blows

    Eminem
    "Raw dawg, get your arm gnawed off
    Drop the sawed off and beat you wit the piece it was sawed off of"

    That right there shows you how Eminem is the lyricist Wayne wish he could be.

    Oh and this Dre song beats anything Wayne has ever tried to produce:

    [Dr. Dre]
    Since you finishin em early, what posessed you to start him?
    We made a vow - later we'll regret til death do us part
    Lord, I thought we was made for each other
    You shouldn't connect those, made to be taken away from each other
    Now what I'm supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I was
    I'll never last, cause my better half is up there with you
    You knew what you was doin when you made us; so with all due respect
    you coulda forgave him, you didn't have to take him
    He can take the game with him, cause he defines the word
    The one who puts the G in it, who you think put me in it?
    I'm feelin like my whole world is blinded - wonderin why
    Cryin, pourin out my heart, pourin out liquor behind it
    We fought like brothers, somethin we never should do
    We coulda used time spent arguin tellin the truth
    He had talent too - I had plans on watchin him grow
    Don't know what hurts more - seein him leave, or watchin him go

    [Mary J. Blige]
    Listen listen listen.. (listen) whoahh (listen)
    Listen listen listen.. (better listen) whoahh-oahhh-oahhh
    Listen listen listen.. {*harmonizing*}
    Listen.. mmm-mmm-mmm

    [Rell] + {Mary}
    If you wanna know why.. {why I live my life}
    The way that I do.. {cause I got to get this money}
    So don't worry about me.. {cause I know my way around}
    I'm just hustlin everyday, runnin this race, makin this paper

    [Dr. Dre]
    Youse a soldier, you're probably packin heat up there
    Met up with homies from the street, and got deep up there
    If you only knew the way I felt before they ruined the crew
    I thought I learned from Eazy, now I'm goin through it with you
    We lost a thug, a son, and a father
    I spoke to your son, the other day, and told him Uncle Dre got him
    The Lord must be accidentally pulling your file
    cause I'm still paging you, 911, straight in denial
    Prayin you get it, but no man can choose the card he was dealt
    You either quit, or you gon' play it like you get it
    I done been through all emotions, from in shock, to keepin a poker face
    to straight breakin down and showin all emotions
    I'm anxious to believe in real G's don't cry
    If that's the truth, then I'm realizin I ain't no gangsta
    It's just not me, but you know I'ma always ride wit you
    I miss you, sometimes I wish I just died wit you

    [Mary J. Blige]
    Listen listen listen.. (listen) whoahh (listen)
    Listen listen listen.. whoahh-oahhh-oahhh
    Listen listen listen.. {*harmonizing*}
    Listen.. eyy-eyy-eyy-yeah-yeahh

    [Rell] + {Mary}
    If you wanna know why.. {why I live my life}
    The way that I do.. {cause I got to get this money}
    So don't worry about me.. {don't worry, don't worry worry}
    I'm just hustlin everyday, runnin this race, makin this paper

    [Mary J. Blige]
    yeah, yeah, ahhh-oooh-oahahahhhhh.. listen..
    mmmmmmmmmhmhmhmmmmmm..
    if you don't know why I.. you gotta listen up right now
    lis-ten, lis-ten, lis-ten, lis-ten..
    oooooooooh... oahahoooohhh ooooha ohhhhh
    lis-ten, lis-ten
    ahhhowooooo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    yeah-ehh-yeah, yeah-ooeooooh
    yahhooooohahhooooh listen
    lis-ten, children lis-ten
    I'm tryin to tell you somethin good
    Don't get caught up in the hood
    Yeahhh-hah, yeahhh-hah, aooooooh
    if you don't know why..
    you gotta find out the reason why..
    brother.. brother..

    I'm at present listening to the new N.E.R.D album. It's everything urban music should be by my reckoning.

    Never actually heard of Lil Wayne in my life. Must be living under a rock seeing as he just sold 1,000,000 in a week.

    Anyone a fan of Blackalicious? Saul Williams?

    Blazing Arrow is a classic album and Alphabet Aerobics is one of the most creative songs ever, there really arent too many rap songs out there with changing tempos that I know of.

    I highly recommend J-Live if you are a fan of Blackalicious

    J-Live is sick.

    I've been checking these guys out. The Kidz in the Hall, they're on one of the Rock the Bells stages this year.

    I like their sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VUxm8jRoNw

    Cant compare to the original though, I would say this is easily one of the top 10 beats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mt3vZHDiM8&feature=related
