I like a lot of rap, and can't fathom liking Soulja Boy. What happened there eternity?

Have seen the "Rose Garden" video? Awesome song and video (esp. once you get the trick).Quoting Qrazy (view post)

I too prefer rap with a good beat, good lyrics, good delivery, good production and that doesn't sound like complete shit. Sucks getting old.
in all seriousness, i can see the appeal but i don't like it. his def poetry jam flow is the most irksome aspect of the song to me. he barely acknowledges the beat (which i also don't like, mainly for the annoying vocal sample)
he's a talented lyricist, but that's about it
and i don't think it's an age thing, because 16-17 year old me would eat that stuff up. i was way more into "conscious" hip hop back then
basically, thinking about this more, my taste has mirrored kanye's artistic evolution (to a point). he started off rapping and producing for guys like saul williams, slum village, common and dilated peoples and i used to love that stuff. but now you're more likely to see him associating with dudes like rick ross, pusha t, lil wayne and young jeezy and rapping over beats by lex luger (one of brick squad's producers) and tweeting about odd future
speaking of brick squad, now listening to:

I also find Kanye to be terrible.Quoting Acapelli (view post)
And what you describe sounds much more like a devolution than an evolution to me.

First listenthrough on the Jay-Z/Kanye. It's not exactly what I expected. One thing's for sure though, Kanye has nothing on Jay-Z.
yeah, it's not what i expected either. i was... expecting something better.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
as a rapper? of course not, but jay hasn't had an album that can match any of kanye's since the black album.
I think it's an album that'll grow on me, and enjoy as I'm doing housework or writing. Not exactly one for parties though which is what I was hoping for.Quoting ledfloyd (view post)

This might be my favorite one.
yeah i could see that.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
i think murder to excellence, new day and that's my bitch might be my favorites so far. that opener is pretty strong as well.
Yeah, probably the same for me, along with the slightly re-worked "That's My Bitch". It's sort of a shame in that way that it comes first on the album, but it's a perfect opener. I didn't even realize that was The-Dream in the middle part until I read the credits. Good stuff.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
Also, "Illest Motherf**ker Alive" and "Primetime" are probably two of the strongest songs of the bunch, but they're reduced to only being on the Deluxe version, along with the very good "The Joy" (formerly a G.O.O.D. Friday release) and the less worthy "H*A*M" (the M, evidently, stands for "Meh"). I think this will be the sort of album I start to really enjoy once I make my own custom tracklist.
