--- Quote from: Pinokit on September 29, 2003, 10:12:03 AM ---1) Do you think the Black Album will really be Jay's last? Or do you see a bluff like what happened with Volume 3? That was also supposed to be his last, but he later released about 4 more albums
2) Why cant Puffy make another star? Since B.I and Ma$e, he really hasn't had a smash, breakout artist. We all knows he's a smart business man.. Do you think he'll EVER have one more Jay-Z / 50 Cent calibur star in him?
3) Do you think Ja Rule can EVER fight back from the hole he's in? Do you think the mainstream will ever accept him again?
4) How much longer does 50 Cent have in the spotlight before he drops down to just a normal single platinum rapper? Will people get tired of him soon? Or will he sell shit loads repeatedly just like Eminem? Does he have to stay with Eminem to accomplish this?
5) What hiphop story gives you the most imagery? Which one can you just feel the lyrics creating pictures in your head?
6) How much do you predict the Black Album to sell in it's first week?
7) Do you think all parties in the beef with the Source will VOLUNTARILY be in the mag anytime soon? Lesser artists like Lloyd Banks, Obie Trice etc..
8) Would you consider Outkast's new album a hiphop album? Yes or no? You can state why...
9) How much longer do you give 50 Cent to live?
10) How much would you guess the Neptunes charge on average for a track?
11) What would you consider the most blatantly commercial single ever?
12) If you could list some songs that an artist had on a CD, that could have possibly made the rapper be a big sucess, but they didn't release them as singles, what would you list?
13) If you could exchange 2 rappers sucess.. Put 1 underground, and give the underground rapper that mainstream rappers spotlot.. What 2 would you switch?
14) Will you be checking for a DPG-Unit album? Do you think the "super group" will be a sucess?
15) What would have to be done to make lyricism a priority in mainstream hiphop again? Or is there no hope of that happening again?
16) If Eminem does indeed release a double album, do you think it has chances of being the best double CD ever? Will it be better than the most recent, BP2?
17) What do you personally feel is the biggest single of ALL TIME?
18) Will Roc-A-Fella turn into a 2nd rate Ruff Ryders (or worse) after Jay-Z retires?
19) There have been a lot of bitter break ups and beefs with artists you probably thought were tighter than stingy virgins. What break up, since the dawn of rap, has shocked you the most?
20) Do you think the majority of artists remain fans of other rappers once they get a major contract themselves? Why or why not?
21) Do you think sucess is an instant red flag to rally against an artist or producer? If someone's music remains 90% identical as it was before they got signed and they had fans, what percentage of THOSE PREVIOUS fans do you think are lost once the rap act makes his mainstream transition?

1.Last solo album....maybe {Good possibility}
but he will still hold the mic down and do guest shot's.
2.P.Diddy, I belive still has a couple more stars in him.
we just need to stop wanting another B.I.G. {Cause that will nevcer happen}
3.He's in no hole...his vacation was on his own.
Ja was not forced into leaving 03' to his "Freinds" {Enemies}.
for every person that dislikes Ja there is 5 that love his music.
4.50 will dominnate the spotlight for years to come.
5."Soulja's story" by 2Pac & "Warning" by B.I.G.
6.As much as a typical Jay release....
peep's don't acully belive it will be hs last solo joint.
and the other 90% who will buy it just think it's another regular drop anyway so....
7.FUCK this beef....{Schoolyard shitt)
8.It's all defo 100% hip-hop.
9.His lifetime..
10.A left nut...{I bet it depend's on the artist they are working with.}
11."The REAL Slim Shady" or "Without me"
12.To many to name homie....but I'll throw out:
"So danm hood" (Crooked I feat Sisqo) if a video and single would have been applied to it, I thought it was a coo enough joint to keep the masses aware of him. {Not just us bootleger's...lol}
plus Sisqo was kinda on a buzz at the time....
13.I wouldn't if I could...
14.Yes & no...but more for the DPG side.
15.It's always a must for me...
But when u think about it music, {Sound} actully don't need any words at all if done right.
16.Not the best ever...
almost gurantee it will bury "The Eminem show" tho.
17.?
18.No...Rocafella will stay the same.
Jay-Z will still feature on all artists track's, Jigga will be sprinkled all over the place still. Plus they never said a group lp was outta the question feat Jay-Z.
19.Deathrow & Snoop.
Honestly when Doggy dropped way back when, I could never imagine him without being an inmate. Remember it was the label that paid him. {then he left for the tank.... :'( }
20.Yes...they defo keep up with who's hot & who's not.
They bump it just the exact way we do.
{Biggie was a huge Pac fan even throuout the beef}
he bumped the hell outta "All eyez on me" even to the point of saying "Hit em' up" was a tight joint.
21.NO...

--- End quote ---
Fat Joe's "What's Luv".
This is some caddy-ass shit if I've ever heard it. A pure paint-by-numbers song.
"We Thuggin'" is in the same boat. Both those singles make me sick.
I might answer some more latter.

--- Quote from: Pinokit on September 29, 2003, 10:12:03 AM ---This is a thread I saw posted at www.allhiphop.com message boards. I thought It was a good topic with some pretty good questions, So iI thought I'd ask it here. This is for the "Real Hop Hop Headz".......
These are my answers.
1) Do you think the Black Album will really be Jay's last? Or do you see a bluff like what happened with Volume 3? That was also supposed to be his last, but he later released about 4 more albums
He was supposed to retire after his first album. He's still here. Too Short was supposed to retire 4 albums ago, here's still here. Rappers don't leave.
2) Why cant Puffy make another star? Since B.I and Ma$e, he really hasn't had a smash, breakout artist. We all knows he's a smart business man.. Do you think he'll EVER have one more Jay-Z / 50 Cent calibur star in him?
Speaking too soon. Loon has a good chance to be the next Mase, but he got bumped out the way because of Da Band. They're going to do good.
3) Do you think Ja Rule can EVER fight back from the hole he's in? Do you think the mainstream will ever accept him again?
Ja only got hated on because of 50. Why was his singing never a problem for MOST before 50 came around? 50 got on him, so since he's the biggest thing of the moment, they jumped on his dick and did what he did. All of 50's fans were Ja fans.
4) How much longer does 50 Cent have in the spotlight before he drops down to just a normal single platinum rapper? Will people get tired of him soon? Or will he sell shit loads repeatedly just like Eminem? Does he have to stay with Eminem to accomplish this?
I'm sure his next album will be nothing like Get Rich...But, as long as he has Em and Dre behind him, he'll be something big.
5) What hiphop story gives you the most imagery? Which one can you just feel the lyrics creating pictures in your head?
Personally, "Locc 2 Da Brain." Everyone says Gangstas can't rap, but they all showed they could paint perfect pictures.
6) How much do you predict the Black Album to sell in it's first week?
With not much promotion, not as much as it could. But, for die hard Hip Hop fans and Jay-Z fans, it'll do good numbers. Fuck sales though.
7) Do you think all parties in the beef with the Source will VOLUNTARILY be in the mag anytime soon? Lesser artists like Lloyd Banks, Obie Trice etc..
Whatever Em says, they will say. Period. They're all puppets for Eminem.
8) Would you consider Outkast's new album a hiphop album? Yes or no? You can state why...
Big Boi's disc is Hip Hop. Not Dre's. Dre's is just a melting pot a all sorts of styles and sounds.
9) How much longer do you give 50 Cent to live?
Once this dumb ass beef dies down, which it seems to be doing, he'll live a long time.
10) How much would you guess the Neptunes charge on average for a track?
Can't be that much. They produce for cats like Phillys Most Wanted, who got no money.
11) What would you consider the most blatantly commercial single ever?
"Pump It Up" by Joe Budden. They get the hottest producer of the moment, throw in the generic rhymes.
12) If you could list some songs that an artist had on a CD, that could have possibly made the rapper be a big sucess, but they didn't release them as singles, what would you list?
TechN9ne - I'm A Playa. Has that flare of a commercial single, but he released Slacker.
13) If you could exchange 2 rappers sucess.. Put 1 underground, and give the underground rapper that mainstream rappers spotlot.. What 2 would you switch?
Take out Memphis Bleek, and put in Sly Boogy.
14) Will you be checking for a DPG-Unit album? Do you think the "super group" will be a sucess?
The DPG hasn't put out quality since Kurupt left. G-Unit is garbage to me.
15) What would have to be done to make lyricism a priority in mainstream hiphop again? Or is there no hope of that happening again?
People need to care about lyrics and not sales. Everyone is so afraid to be lyrical because it won't sell. The fans co sign that. "Oh well if he comes too lyrical nobody will buy his album." Hip Hop was based on lyrics, not commercialism. Once the focus on being commercial is over, lyrics will come back.
16) If Eminem does indeed release a double album, do you think it has chances of being the best double CD ever? Will it be better than the most recent, BP2?
Nope. Em lacks that quality. He doesn't have replay value. His songs are hit or miss. You're not sure if he's joking or being serious. And, he needs to lay off the gun play. It's boring.
17) What do you personally feel is the biggest single of ALL TIME?
There's so many. Can't decide.
18) Will Roc-A-Fella turn into a 2nd rate Ruff Ryders (or worse) after Jay-Z retires?
Without Jay, there is no Roc-A-Fella. Bleek and State Prop can't hold it down. Diplomats do their own thing. M.O.P. and Twista can't hold the label down either.
19) There have been a lot of bitter break ups and beefs with artists you probably thought were tighter than stingy virgins. What break up, since the dawn of rap, has shocked you the most?
Likwit/Xzibit. I suprised at how much Xzibit had changed and forgot where he came from.
20) Do you think the majority of artists remain fans of other rappers once they get a major contract themselves? Why or why not?
Nope. Artists care about themselves and themselves only.
21) Do you think sucess is an instant red flag to rally against an artist or producer? If someone's music remains 90% identical as it was before they got signed and they had fans, what percentage of THOSE PREVIOUS fans do you think are lost once the rap act makes his mainstream transition?
It's one thing to go mainstream, it's another thing to change your style. Xzibit is a perfect example. He went from "it's a shame niggas in the rap game only for the money and fame" to "me and fred about to half on microsoft."
