Author Topic: Am i completely out of the loop? Or do both Banks and Jada's album's suck????  (Read 614 times)

What the fuck, it used to be once upon a time there were dope commerical albums..... i admit it, even though i am more masta ace than 50 cent, more Nas than Jay z, i love me some commerical ass rap!!!  But what the fuck is going on?   Jada's album is literally a disgrace, and Banks isnt much better?  Banks album is a poor mans version of GRODT, and Kiss of Death is even worse than the disaster that was Kiss The Game Goodbye.  These rappers on major labels are fucked up right now..........some people dont feel Kanye, but at least he made a mostly consistent album with some different subject matter, and that is why that shit was dope.

This Banks album?  It all sounds the same, i mean, i know he can do better than that......but the only track that really stands out is Warrior 2.  At least GRODT had some damn good singles, but this banks shit is horrible.

As for Jada, his album is better than Banks, but come on, why come with TIMES UP as a single, everyone has done the Storch produced Nate sings the hook type track by now, it doesnt work anymore..

When i can only find 2-3 good songs per album, there are serious problems.........and i don't even wanna  start on d12, that shit was about half as good as their debut, which was actually quite dope.

I totally agree with that. You are already sick of the album after 2 spins. Good album though.

Im only 5 tracks deep on the "Hunger for more" so I wont comment yet, but as for Jada, I will admit I was dissapointed with "Kiss of Death"...Jada came with about 6-8 really dope tracks and the rest of the album was average or weak at best IMO.

I don't really feel Jada's album neither but i disagree on banks

and Til The End stands out way more than warrior 2

the game track is dope too and I don't see how tracks like south side story, work magic or im so fly are wack

These albums are nothing but average cause these dudes dont care about improving or changing the rap game that we see today. all they want is to make money and have their names known. That is what the problem with rap is today, the wrong people are getting the attention. It doesn't even matter if its cause they are commercial or not, 2pac, Big, Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas all changed the game in one way or another and each improved their own styles through their careers once they became popular. Some rappers just dont have a true passion for hip hop even though they claim they do.
peace

Yea, Jada's album was weak. Banks' album was just as weak. It had about 2 or 3 tight tracks, tops. So it looks like none of these guys are gonna be the future. Let's just sit tight and wait for Saigon, the real future.

Jada album was a lil disappointing...Banks album lived up to my expectations and maybe a lil more...and D12 was a disaster...

OMFG, I'D NEVER EXPECT TO SEE THIS FROM SGV..  :o :o

Btw, the reply reads "today" so there might be a 0.0005% chance that SGV actually have heard the album, but I swear that I have seen the same reply months before the album was out on the net..  :o
