Random Thoughts of King Tech Volume 3

[King Tech Quadafi]

Random Thoughts.....

1. 50 Cent sells 800 K his first week and second.  He broke the record for best opening week numbers for a debut. But heres the thing though.  Doesnt this 50 hype seem so ...fabricated? Like its not genuwine, its not real. I mean, numbers wise, 50 is the most hyped artist ever. But i dont know about yall, but where Im from Doggystyle, Wu Forever, Its Dark and Hell is Hot, Makaveli, Life after Death were ALL much more hyped .  There was much more of a ginuwine desire to have those albums nah mean?

Btw, 50's album....it was good, the production was dope, but listening to his album while I was high made me realize how generic and regurgetated gangsta rap has become. I couldnt listen to the entire album.

*waits for Crooked I to save hip hop*

Am I the only one who thinks:

1- "Whats ya phone #?" was a 4.5/5 track?
2- Balance and Options > Rythymalism?
3- All Eyez on Me> Makaveli> Me Against The World
4- That new Bone song is terrible? (with Phil Collins)
5- That new Baby joint with the Clipse is on some gangsta shit?
6- Pharell looks like a complete dork in Jay Z's new video?
---------------------------------------------------------------
If Ice Cube doesnt have a message, then he shouldnt make music.
This is quite clear. I mean, when he has no message. he just spouts some nonsense (100 dollar bill yall etc). If Dre gonna go into the studio with Cube, Cube NEEDS to rediscover his political side. I miss the Old Cube. Just as much as I miss the old Snoop.

that's cuz your're from Canada the great white north

50's selling a lot becuase all the underground heads are buying it, all the poppy little girls are buying it, all the casual rap fans are buying, west coast people are buying it becuase of dre, everyone who likes rap have an interest in this album and want to check it out, and it doesn't hurt that his video for in da club is #1 on TRL everyday and the most played song on radio right now, so no it doesn't suprise me he out sold snoop

but i agree it's not as good as doggystyle,not by a long shot, the only real good thing about this album is the beats and the occasional hot line or two

Round here the hype for 50's album seemed pretty real.  There's posters all over downtown.  Stickers on every damn stop sign, people handing out flyers etc.  It was HIGHLY anticipated here.  (Vancouver)

vancover's tight yo, i won't hate on that city. It's always struck me as quasi Anaheimish

what the hell does Great White mean? Shiiiit, you from some hick town right? LOL

1- "Whats ya phone #?" was a 4.5/5 track?
2- Balance and Options > Rythymalism?

I agree with both of those. I used to think "Rhythm-al-ism" was the best, but B&O is his best now imo.

vancover's tight yo

You Daaaaamn Right

i got a couple thoughts my damnself

Tray Deee=Kool G Rap of The West
Bun B=Kool G Rap of The South

TechN9ne=D.O.C. of The Midwest

TQ & R.Kelly both want to be rappers

R.Kelly is one of the best producers out

Big L was one of the most important emcees ever...more than B.I.G.

Haystak is better than Bubba Sparxxx

Pastor Troy is the deepest southern emcee

50's selling a lot becuase all the underground heads are buying it,

uh...really?...

[King Tech Quadafi]

^ agree with everything except the Big L comment

[Twentytwofifty]

Big L was one of the most important emcees ever...more than B.I.G.

Explain that.

[S.G.V.]

to me Big L was better than B.I.G....Biggie didnt really do that much in my eyes...n he wasnt as talented as L...Big L was a much better Emcee(freestyle & written)...not to mention...he is the inspiration for a lot of rappers...(Old)Mase, Cam'Ron, Fabolous, McGruff, Joe Budden, Stan Spit, Paul Cain, Loon, Cardan and so many more...Lifestyles Ov Da Poor...that album was too underrated...Biggie was coo...cant say he wasnt...but he wasnt the emcee that L was...L gave alot of underground cats something to look foward to...tho he could be on BET hed still rep with the unknown emcees and blaze nice verses...for me L was always number 3(in NY)...behind only KRS & G Rap...thats just me...alot of people love Biggie(tho they only called him a great after he died)....

[Kill]

word, as an MC L was much better than Biggie

[smartass]

biggie was good don't get me wrong but l would've ripped him. freestyle or written. just look at what he did to jay(in prime) on back 2 back. jay had to go to a written verse and l still made him look bad haha.
