I had pretty much given up on hip-hop. I mean, since Eminem came with the 8 Mile soundtrack and 50 blowing up and at that time hip-hop was still exciting.I liked the Jedi Mind Tricks Servants In Heaven album... but I don't know that their sound was that much different from something D-12 would of done on Devils Night, it was kind of that shock value, hardcore hip-hop lyricism that had been done before, just with a different flavor.I think this is the first time since Eminem, that an artist has came with a sound this fresh. Hope I'm not over-exaggerating, and over hyping this thing. Don't want to jinx it.
Are you comparing D12 to JMT?
Quote from: K.Dub on September 08, 2009, 02:30:02 AMAre you comparing D12 to JMT? Yeah I am. Both sounds are similar to me. Production: Eminem vs. StoupeThey both use either dark, melancholy production ("Uncommon Valor" "Razorblade Salvation" compares with "Revelation" "Pistol Pistol"), or to contrast at times with a loud aggressive sound and lyricism ("Heavy Metal Kings" compares with "Fight Music").Lyrics: Vinnie Paz vs. D-12Both use elements of shock value and from the perspective of a psychopath, grimy shit... (Vinnie Paz "I'll murder you and laugh"). The major difference is that Vinnie Paz sometimes tries to be shocking by rhyming about war and Islamic revolution while D-12 never raps about world politics; although D-12 did use many references to Columbine, Oklahoma City bombings (Swifty McViegh) and so on.
D12 is a joke compared to JMT.
