Kanye West, M.O.P. & Twista's new CD's will change the ROC-image..

(1/4) > >>

Jome:
Roc-a-fella been having a "new-school wack young bucks" image for some time now.. and rightfully so, there's a lot of wack cats on there.. only their beats been good.

But after hearing the Kanye advance, the Twista sampler, and the new M.O.P. tracks, I gotta say ROC sails up as one of the most promising hiphop labels..
M.O.P. is vets, and so is Twista, but these albums might expose them to a bigger audience..

Kanye advance:

I was really impressed by this.. pure hiphop..
Dope cameos, dope beats, dope samples, and Kanye holds it down better than I thought..
He was OK on mixtapes, but he shows himself as a very solid rapper on here..
"Jesus walks" is amazing, and there's a lot of other strong cuts on there..

Twista sampler:
The sampler looks very promising, Twista switches back and forth from the superfast style, to a smooth but still hot flow..
All kinds of tracks on here, party tracks to regular hiphop, smooth jams, and straight bangers..
The southern production style suits Twista perfect, and is well executed, as well as some cuts which sounds like Kanye..

M.O.P. newish tracks:
"Fire" is just what it sounds like.. should be a hot single, if they choose that one.
The Jigga-collabo was dope, the other cuts has been dope too.. The only thing I miss is some Primo-production, but knowing Preem, he'll chip in a couple of tracks for the retail + do some mixing..
I hear they're leaving out the Posh Spice track, and all their latest work doesn't stray away from the M.O.P.-style, like some (SGV :P) said they would on the ROC..

Diabolical:
Hopefully MOP will keep it gutter

SGV:
I feel, if M.O.P. lets Kanye and Just Blaze touch TOO many tracks they're gonna make, while catchy, a soft album. They need to keep it hardcore and the voice samples down as much as possible. Twista and Kanye's albums will be hot.

We Fly High:
that kanye early bootleg or whatever that was released.. i havent heard an album that consistent in a long ass time.
definitely producer of the year for me. man.. for reals though, hes on some tight ass shit, and actually knows what good music is. every song on there had a sick beat. and the features that he has, actually sound like they belong on the track, and dont sound like how a lotta collaborations sound, where they are just being tossed onto the track together with no chemistry whatsoever.
im glad i had the chance to watch him perform back in March earlier this year.

N-Sane Brain:
I don't think that the Roc-A-Fella was whack back in the days, Jigga always dropped solid-dope albums, and Beanie's "The Truth" for example is also very good. But the problem was that they just had Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek (Amil wasn't that long a member of the label), and only Jigga always dropped heat.

Now they have so many new young rappers like Geda K, Peedie, Freeway, etc. and many well-known rappers like Ol' Dirty, Twista, M.O.P., etc. And now their home-producers Just Blaze and Kanye West are respected by nearly the whole game (especially Kanye). That's why they're on the top now, but as I said before they never where whack in my eyes, but just too "little".
