Yo Leak I was talking bout Lox as a group, not their solo shit. Cos it seems that when groups get together the subject matter is less important, I agree with alot of what you're saying though. Damn Wu's last album was wack though
Rakim Don't Gotta Release Any Mo Shyt & Still Can Talk All The Shyt He Wants Why? Cause Without A Shadow Of A Doubt He's The Greatest Lyricist Of All Time...Also Way Ahead Of His Time Just Like The D.O.C. In Other Words Kiddies Do Yo Research B4 Talkin Caca...
Cory Gunz does his thing but as of this date Rakim is far beyond him. I don't think it's fair comparing dudes. When Rakim started to spit that shit was mind blowing. Rap has evolved so much from Rakim.

Hamilton some more time in the game and you'll see. Hip Hop isn't "mind blowing" anymore like it was back in tha day - for the simple fact it was NEW then, but now what is "mind blowing" anymore? Not even Detox can be "mind blowing", Classic - Yes, Mind Blowing... no

There are still steps it can evolve towards but the initial shock reaction, for the most part, is gone. I do believe there are few outliers that will be exception to the rules. I think it's possible to be mind blowing but it's got to be the complete package. Plus there's the generational factor. Once the old school dies off, it'll find a new source of inspiration.I've mentioned this once or twice in a Dr.Dre Detox relate thread but I think if a dope producer can match classical music over drum patterns similar to what Just Blaze did for the U.S Olympic Basketball team and have a rapper who has bomb ass vocals with quality lyrics rap over it then it'd be another evolution. It's unfortunate cause I see the elements out there. Game has amazing vocal ability, unlike most rappers, but terrible lyrics. If he could be morphed a few fellow artists say like Bishop Lamont/50 Cent/Immortal Technique/Nas then damn that individual would be damn near unstoppable. If Just Blaze worked with some other big named producers say Dr.Dre, Kanye West, Premier, Alchemists - whomever and master that ochestra formula it'd be pretty sweet.
Nas' album was fuckin DOPE!i mean, maybe New York isnt doing it the biggest but how is he going to say that pop/snap music isnt the cause for the downfall?
