i also do hope both of them do big things. i've heard more material from bishop lamont, and he's is a better all around artist, i to also prefer ya boy. like you said dude is simply hungrier. he's a vicious mc, and his rhymes are dope. i think lamont has a better chance at getting national success though.

man, both of them got my support.  i wont both of them to be the near the top(along with others.)

West Coast needs to align up and help each other instead of trying to separate and go there own wayes.   if one of em blows first, i hope the other helps out.

There is enough room in my cd changer to bump both. I support them both. If I had a record label I would try to sign both of them.  8)

Bishop definatly, from start off way before his last mixtape.
For like a year ago I knew Bishop would go big.
And well Ya Boy will take a part of the movement, but I can't compare both.

Ya Boy has better flow and he is better lyricist too but Lamont isn't bad.

Both are very dope mcs to me. as peops have said ya boy sounds so hungry whenever he spits but imo bishop is more flexible in terms of flow etc and has more charisma both on and off the mic. only thing with both of them is that they are not particularly good story tellers and bishop might get f*kin' annoying after a while if he keeps up with all his f*kin egotistical preaching sh*t that seems to be his thing on the newer tracks on this n*gger noise mixtape.

His egotistical preaching would be effective to me if he didn't (imo: dumbly) diss gays in the same context as defending blacks.

you're right, I've never heard Bishop tell a story, but perhaps he could if he so chose.

LOL at Bishop being the next Hittman...it is possible...but for the sake of comparing circumstances....

Did hittman put out a bunch of mixtapes around/after 2001 dropped to keep his buzz going? Perhaps this would have pushed dre/jimmy to drop his album instead of dropping him.

I can't get into an entire Bishop Lamont Mixtape because the beats are so so. He's got the lyrics, but he needs some solid beats to put him at that next level.

interesting that you say that, I've never been more open to non dre/warren/quik production than I am now and it's cause i recently listened to His 'the intro' mixtape. that shit had some bangers. have not checked nigger noise all the way through yet though

Bishop is versatile and i like his topics better. Ya Boy comes across harder, he's viscious and can rip
a track to pieces.

thats whatsup with the game right now, every rapper is droppin an uncountable stream of mixtapes, in an age where theres already so much rappers coming out the whole industry is being overflooded by mixtapes, which in most cases is nothing but a collection of the newest leaked tracks, theres only a few standout mixtapes which really are worth listening to and bishop lamont's nigger noize and ya boy's chaper 1, the rise are both a part of the last category.

back when hittman was buzzin off the 2001 album, it was not the time of mixtapes, it was just comin up around that time in the ny scene, so hittman couldnt have used that as the best way to promote himself really, but if he did i doubt we would see him as a flop nowadays, cause hif dre/aftermath dropped him he would surely got signed by another label or something.

Hmmm,not to burst your bubble but mix-tapes has been around in NYC for ages and Hittman had a mix-tape out,I bought one from Tha Formula while they had a record store over at Torrance(right over the street from Audio Achivements,the legendary studio that Ruthless recorded all their classic's). We can argue for ages why Hittman got dropped. I see why dudes compare Bishop to Hittman,it's the charisma thing. Bishop don't have Eazy-E,Cube,Snoop,Eminem and/or Game's kind of charisma. Anyway I feel Bishop's last mix-tape,DJ Skee fuck's it up with his screaming,other than that it's hot. The 9th wonder joint could be a summer jam if they made a video for it.
As for Ya boy his first album,the production kind of turned me off,the production was wak. I like Ya Boy,but I have only heard a few tracks with good beats. The Imperial march joint he did was dope. Like somebody said before;
"I got enough room in my cd-changer to bump both,so why choose"


word, no bubble bursted, i was seriously asking anyway. thank you for answering.

after hearing hittmanic verses(which I think is classic shit) I think Iovine probably groaned at the idea of marketing a chubby dude rapping over g funk. especially when in direct contrast to a thin white dude rapping over newer age dre production.

I think Bishop kinda has more charisma then Game...actually i think hitt does too. i just like game cause he wants to give the 95 g funk gangsta rap fans what they want raw and uncut. he's no bullshit, he's just like "hey I miss that g shit from the late 80's and early to mid 90's too. It'll never be the same, i ain't droppin classics and I ain't a skill-wise legend...but here's a banger for your tape deck." That's what I get from Game, so I support and appreciate him. otherwise I agree with most of what you just said.

Post by: Lunatic on March 09, 2007, 11:49:34 AM
Yo Tanji,the mix-tape I'm talking about ain't Hittmanic verses. It's more like a mix-tape with freestyles,you'll find it if you search the forum. Up it if want,I'll support you,fuck the haters,I'm sure there's a lot of new cats that missed this.

that would be nice for me 2 as well. I always thought Hittman was dope, but his time was gone before i really started using the net a lot (lol im a younger dude) so i missed out. all i have is "murder weapon" and it only has 11 tracks, (3 with knoc-turn'al that i already had anyway). some of them are also labelled in-correctly, so i had to change the name of the songs. I still don't have the names of tracks 7 & 11.
Title: Re: Bishop Lamont or Ya Boy
Post by: Tanjential on March 09, 2007, 12:43:40 PM
is murder weapon at all different from hittmanic verses? cause hitt's big score and hittmanic verses are almost the same thing.

also...not too anxious to get the Hittman mixtape cause

a)got Hittmanic verses, shit is still fresh and satisfying to me
b)I only asked about his mixtapes for the sake of discussion comparing his situation to Bishops

I only asked about Hitt's mixtapes for the sake of discussion comparing his situation to Bishop


well,yeah I based some of my comments(the charisma thing) from what I have read here on this forum. I kind of agree with them,I think Hittman & Bishop are far better MC wise than your hero Game,but I got to admit dude got charisma

I like Hittman way better than Game. and I like Bishop equally to Game.

Game ain't my hero per se....i just think he came to give people like alot of us on the forum, exactly what he wanted. which is respectable if not the most artistically progressive thing some one could do.

-T
Title: Re: Bishop Lamont or Ya Boy
Post by: Tanjential on March 11, 2007, 12:20:19 PM
yeah,I feel you.
Again,I just assumed from the information I have read on this forum. I see dudes get all heated on you for diggin Game's shit. Game killed my interest in him by all those mix-tapes he put out,toooo much. So I ain't really checking for him anymore.
I feel his pride for the vintage west coast sound,but it just got too much (corny) at the end.


true, but it's still better than alot of stuff tp me. he's not the most naturally talented dude but he really puts effort into putting songs together and he gets great producers. that combo equals good records put together even if he's not the sickest MC.

Title: Re: Bishop Lamont or Ya Boy
Post by: Convinced on March 11, 2007, 03:27:17 PM
They are both dope, i would have to say Bishop has an upper hand being down with Dre tho... The true test will be when they both drop solo albums.
