“a couple weeks ago we all loved ‘History’ now we back to say ‘he fell off’.”

Not I said TRA.

I stand firm in my opinion.

This track is obviously for the B.I.G. movie(or a leftover) which means he’s going for a 90s feel, Hip hop fan’s memory seem to be insanely short a couple weeks ago we all loved “History” now we back to say “he fell off”.

Hov can’t be Big Pimpin’ forever. Artists Change Grow and Evolve. I mean dude went from gettin’ blown by Superhead (I’ll never call her Karrine) to Marrying Beyonce.

That right there should be enough

But he still makes dope songs

I actually like this joint…. it’s definitely not the best he can do, but at the same time, he’s done worst. Anyone that says that Jigga fell of around the time of Kingdom Come is buggin’. Reference: American Gangster = 5 cigs easily.

Fuck all the hating and enjoy music. Jay-Z has been in the game too long to be reinventing anything. We all should be lucky dude still feels like rhyming with all the bullshit that gets airplay… especially when all of the folks that all of his haters wanna hear can’t get passed corporate “red-tape” in order to put an album out.

Enjoy this until your “new” favorite rapper puts out a full-length effort.

I wonder if Reasonable Doubt’s original lack of success had anything to do with how he went about his career.

As much as I respect Hov and what’s he’s done for the game I never thought of him as an “ill lyricist”.. Maybe I have it all wrong when people speak of him as THAT DUDE.. I just never saw true musical progress from him.. No need to mention any other MC’s but I can think of many MC’s that MOVED me when I listned/listen to them.. This is yet another track that only continues to prove that hey “I wasn’t a hater/crazy after all for not being on Jay’s jock”..

^good point.
I blame the top 4 major record labels that look for, market, one-hit wonders instead of spending more time breeding quality entertainers/performers. basically the market has become saturated in a variety of genres.

Good points, but a whole of people seem to be making a decision based on the age of the artist i.e. Who is this kid (literally)? Or “why is the old ass dude still rapping?”

One other thing is, we treat the music as if it is a disposable razor. How many classic HipHop stations are there on the public airwaves as oppossed to classic rock. Granted, one art form has been around a lot longer than the other, but is that a good enough reason/excuse?

exactly. i know i’m guilty of it, but a lot of times, it isn’t them (the artist). it’s us (the fans). age changes tastes, or at least it should.

fulfillingness stevie wonder wasn’t making the same music that fingertips stevie wonder was, so when i hear a rapper doing the same thing he/she was doing 5, 10, 15 years ago, it sounds stale. hell, it is stale, but to a newer generation, it is what is. and if it sells, then why change?
