Title: What do you guys think of grafh and joell ortiz
Post by: herpes on May 22, 2007, 09:20:55 PM

Ive heard a few tracks from both of them here and there.  And liked what I heard, but I finally had some time to download some of there mixtapes and these guys got some good music, its a shame they will never blow.  But if you want to hear some good rap give these 2 cats a chance.

never heard of the first dude but Joell Ortiz is dope for sure. Good flow and dope rhymes. Have you checked his album 'The Brick' i recomend it for sure. I think he'll blow up for sure, just wait for the aftermath debut

Grafh had a joint that I used to bump the shit out of back in 2003 or 2004, I think it was called "I Don't Care" or something. Haven't really heard from him ever since... Is he even eating?

He has his major label debut album coming out soon, he has offered up a version of his album here for free download http://www.grafh.com/ I say a version of it, this could very well be the album minus perhaps one or 2 songs. I guess he is hoping that people will enjoy it and want to own the actual cd also.

I've never heard a bad word about Joell, still havn't listened to The Brick tho

About Grafh, doesn't somebody proclaim him (or self-proclaimed) "myspace king" or something?Another thing I know about him is that he was in Playboy with Cory Gunz advertising "rap clothing" or something.

Not really valluable info, but hey  :P

I like some Graph, I think his flow is a little too choppy sometimes though. Plus, hes been waitin in the cut for so long I'll doubt he will ever drop a real album. 

Joell Ortiz I'm feeling from what I've heard, and props to that man for having a video about "classic" hip-hop getting regular burn on cable.
