lyrics dont sell tho... respect yes, sales no.
Nothing real refreshing? With all the crap coming out from all areas, how is not refreshing? Lyricism at it's finest.
Quotelyrics dont sell tho... respect yes, sales no. exactly. most artists that blow up are not lyrical at all. You need beats people love, a flow people love, excellent choruses/hooks, a distinguished voice, and then I would say lyrics come in last.QuoteNothing real refreshing? With all the crap coming out from all areas, how is not refreshing? Lyricism at it's finest. that may be your opinion, but its not mine. His album is completely average imo. Sure he has some really good lyricsm, but there is much more to making a great album than that. His album is good, I bought it, and I listen to it, but its nothing I get excited over, or can keep playing intro to outro over and over. there is no song on the album that I want to put on repeat because I can't get enough of it. Its not an album that would get a party goin. None of his songs really stick in my head. that is what makes an album for me. when it's exciting to hear, when I can listen to it over and over and not get bored with it. When there is songs that I just want to hear all the time. His album just doesn't stand out from the crowd. its just another west coast album.

Lyrics aren't last for me.Sly's album is average? I don't remember hearing vivid story tales and a lot of concept songs on every album. That album is what emceeing is about. "Walk Wit My Dogs" is far from average. Same with "Haters, "Ridiculous," "Fatal Mistake" and plenty of jams on there. And, "California" gets a crowd popping.Last time I checked, I haven't heard someone as creative or skilled on the West since Del.
FUCK Mtv it's always been that way.FUCK Radio it's alway's been that way.
screw all dat, if u need these established cats to make u blow up, then hip hop is a sad state right now......they dont need dre or snoop, just the right single, right promotion, and right connections, and they will blow up...PLAIN AND SIMPLE.....look at rappers like chingy, he had sum unknown producer produce his song "right thurr", it was catchy, it got video/radio/club play, and he blew up like anything, AND HE HAD THE RIGHT PROMOTION n he basically blew up by himself,....they need to stop relyin on others to b low up, make ur own path n make ur own moves, get wit the right labels, right single, and u can be commercial material...im out
I dunno why you all want the west to blow up anyway. You'll say all this, but when a rapper from the west makes some corny commercial single aimed at kids then you will all say, oh, such as such sold out. You don't really want the west to blow up, and it isn't going to unless it goes all corny. If you like gangsta rap, then you can still buy gangsta rap, but you must realise that it will never be popular again in the mainstream.
