Blueprint, Manifest, Inkwel(the real GreenhouseEffect >>>>>>>>>>>> Asher Roth

[M.O.T.H.]

The reason why he wasn't in the lime light is becuase he was just a "hype man" and basically an honarable mention of Cash Money Millionaires. He just said hooks and had lame verses. To his defense he's improved drastically from then to now...but he still sucks as a lyricist.

I agree but, he was better a couple of years ago then he is now. He's just a sheep these days.

He's always sucked in my eyes, he just has an expanded role now, lol.



One of my favorite piano-based instrumentals ever.

agreed, with Living Legends he is a lot better.

Sunspot Jonz, Eligh, Grouch, and Scarub help cover his weakness'.

to be honest, he's probably just the 5th best member of LL.

my top 3

DJ Premier
Pete Rock
Blue Sky Black Death (the best imo)

I agree that Wayne really never was very good, but he definitely has gotten worse and fallen into the pop trench that rap seems to be going into these days. Anyways...

Did you just discover them? I been a fan for a while, I really liked In Defense of the Genre. As a huge Saves the Day fan, I love Two Tongues as well.

No, I've been listening to them for a while. I think for the most part, I listen to Say Anything, Two Tongues and The Strokes every day haha. Yeah Two Tongues is awesome.

I can't wait for Say Anything's new CD sometime this year.

So I'm listening to Jack's Mannequin "The Glass Passenger", pretty good CD so far.

He was talking about wayne....


As for LL, MURS (no matter how you spin it) is still the most talented of the group. I don't like his new album, but I don't know about any "weakness". Lyrically he's more consistant than anybody in the group, and that's obvious.

Then again his **** sounds boring to me without good production.

Hmm.

DJ Premier and Pete Rock mostly do beats as far as I recall, but this Blue Sky Black Death stuff is just downtempo stuff. If you're expanding the producer title out to things that don't pertain to hip-hop, I'm not sure anyone who does do hip-hop production would be anywhere near a top 10.

It's no offense to any hip-hop producer, it's just that even the most ambitious hip-hop production doesn't come close to most contemporary electronic composition.
