Title: RBX
Post by: xquistqban on July 29, 2006, 09:20:52 AM
What do you guys think about RBX?  I think he is real dope.  In fact, his two verses on Cali Iz Active are straight fire.  Do you guys think he is dope or what?

He is tight, recycles alot of his lyrics from the Chronic on different songs, but he is dope. Very unique flow.

His first album, The RBX Files, is UNIQUE and classic I think. His second record was great too, but thereafter I have been kindda dissapointet with his stuff. I doubt he will ever come with a dope record like The RBX Files again.

and yes sadly he recycles ALOT. Dunno, I think it's because he feels he aint getting his props for the stuff he did with Dre and Snoop back and the day and then he keeps on saying the same stuff.

He straight TORE UP the tracks he did on the Welcome To Tha House compilation though!

Yeah his guest appearances always get me hyped for his albums but they never hold up. All the Dogghouse/Doggystyle compilations and Snoop albums he and Rage too have been on are  :o

I really like the guy but I think that since 2005 he's been sort of lacking. Somehow the way he holds his verses down these days are not up to par to the verses before 2005. Anyways, I'm anticipating that new 'Unanimous'-album he's supposed to bring out sometime this year (or next year or..). I think he'll never do an album like The RBX-Files again, as I doubt he's still got the anger or the hunger he had on there. I do think both 'No Mercy, No Remorse' and 'The Shining' were very dope. 'Ripp the game bloody' was far less appealing but not alltogether bad.

I think hes real dope.  This may have been posted in another thread, but heres an unreleased interview that OG Styles (from WCRydaz) did with C-1 Prod.  Dont understand why this never got released.  I havent seen any WCR\C-1 colabs in a while so maybe something happened between them.  I dont know, but anyway.. check out this interview.  Styles out did himself again.. as he usually does.

I really liked RBX until I started realizing how much he repeats his own lyrics and quotes himself on a level bordering on dickriding.  Dude has a sick mic presence, but he never can seem to do as much with it as he should it.

But I still really like "The RBX Files".

Like dude said I guess that fire just isnt within him anymore. It's like these days he hardly cares about his lyrics, he just recycles cuz he's pissed that noone gives him props for his old verses.

GUess we will never hear another "RBX Files" or "No Mercy" record from him :-[

He's a dope writer but his actual flow is kinda boring.

He needs to switch it up a bit from time to time.

On the chronic it was the first time i heard him and the flow was cool for that.

But like on the Dre presents Aftermath song 'Blunt Time' his flow just sounded sleepy.

His lyrics were dope on 'Remember Me' but Sticky n Em with thier flows left him in the dust.

You know, the sadness is that he can actually still write dope lyrics so that he does not even need to recycle verses from the past. Let's face it, on 'Cali iz active' he and Rage had the dopest verses and though RBX these days isn't on the same level as Rage, together they probably are the top DPGC's in terms of lyricism.

Everyone seems to love him, but I've never been really impressed by him...I think he's average at best and find hit hard trying to listen to an entire album by him

He has a unique style that you either love or hate. FOr me, listening to a X movie is like watching a horrir movie! Just listen to the intro on "No Mercy No Remorse" and you'll know what I mean ;D

Yes, his sound is very original.

No Mercy No Remorse and The Shining are great albums... wasn't feelin the two others tho, mainly because of the wack production.
