too many features
i'm chilling was eh...pretty boring, no longevity.
i expect he won't blow up much bigger than he is now
Kid CuDi & Drake are the current leaders of this new school pack. J. Cole is the sleeper who might take the game by surprise in a year or so. I expect CuDi to have a long term consistent career where be builds his fame similar to Kanye West. I see Drakesimilar to 50 where he exploded, as he has already, and will slowly fizzle out.

a lot are just hook singers

I don't care.
Mutherfuckas act like making hooks is easy. I respect a rapper that can rap and make dope hooks. It shows a lack of skill if you can't make a complete song where you can stand by yourself.
There's this weird hate the hook movement that started up some time after 50's the massacre. Most of his hooks are good. Just his bars be suspect.
Don't hate the hook. Hate the bars.

its sad that i go in with the hunch that all rap albums on major labels suck dick and 9 times out of 10 its true.Gucci mane and lady gaga.No fucking way in hell those were the people wale wanted on his album.

Some rappers just can't sing and if that's the case, I rather u leave it to the prop's like he did here (Marsha, etc)

You don't have to sing to have a dope hook.
But i don't necessary disagree with your last comment either. If you making a track with a r&b flavor to it and you can't sing then you should get someone who can on it.
I respect talent. I don't respect the lack of it.
