^Oh lol, but lesser known artists do have less chance of their album leaking.

I probably won't bother with this unless some body gives me a download link, downloads it for me and copies it to my ipod though.

I think overall, it's a much better album.

"Gazing at the Moonlight" had some great songs, but a few "alright" songs.

This album is five times better than "Marcberg"; but that was pretty tight too.

Regardless, I meant somebody in the mainstream game. A guy like Hopsin with all that talent & doesn't get anything for it; shame.

& you constantly shit on Slaughterhouse & support Gucci Mane, so I wouldn't be pointing fingers, kiddo.

That doesn't sound like you're in shock at all.

I just shit on joe budden, with good reason.
I only support gucci in the sense that I'm not hating on the kid, like I keep saying if you call gucci mane a rapper you might as well call tech a rock artist..

This album is my personal classic. Dunno why people keep sleeping on this cat. He's a rough diamond on the west.

His albums overshadow everything what Dre and rest of washed up west artists are doing recently.

This guy knows how modern west coast rap should sound like imo.

Post by: shoo on November 26, 2010, 01:39:34 AM
How are people calling this classic after it's been out for 3 days?

I called it personal classic. Why? because i haven't heard such a good album since few years. I threw all these releases to the trashbin after one, two, three listenings because they were simply boring as fuck.
And i'm bumping this album for few days now all day long (on my ipod, at work, in house - all the time). I love every single song on the album, some were hits for me from te beginnig some of them were growers. I just can;t stop listening to it.

That's why i know it's a classic to me...


PS. Don't sleep on this cat guys. Check out his previous album because it's as good as this one! examples:

oh man i think you're smart enough to know that arguing about our own feelings is pointless.
I know it's a classic to ME because i haven't enjoyed ANY album as much as this one for years.
I know my own taste of music and i'm sure i'll be bumping this album for a long long time.

CLEARLY not lol.

Point being, shame a man so talented doesn't get the shine that Wayne gets to recite lyrics that are written for him.

I think it's more important for underground rappers to gain recognition among Hip-Hop heads than the mainstream audience.
But from what I've heard of hopsin this will not happen since he borrows so much of his style from eminem.

Post by: JohnnyL on November 27, 2010, 08:46:08 AM
 I don't think Hopsin sounds that much like Em.  I mean, I could see how one could make the case that their styles are similar.  But I wouldn't say identical. His delivery sounds a bit like Eminem's delivery from about 10 years ago, but his voice doesn't really sound anything like Eminem to me.  Subject matter-wise, I can see some similarities, particularly to Eminem's old stuff, but that could just be the dude's personality too.

Yeah, delivery sounds almost exactly like the young Eminem.

Yeah, but Eminem admitted jacking his style from Cage & nobody cared about that.

Although that happened before the age of the message board & everybody thought they had to become extra critical when analyzing something lol.

Good point.  I think you're on to something with the whole message board thing too.  Because back then, I don't remember very many people knowing who Cage was.  And many of the ones who did, only knew of him through the references made to him in Eminem's own songs. Now however, being that nearly every single person gets online, there would be more awareness of Cage, and consequently more awareness of Eminem sounding like him.

Every rapper borrowed at least some of their style from some rapper.
Mostly a select few of 80's rappers.

Still haven't checked out cage but noticed Em took some of his style from Masta Ace.

It's how much of the style you take and how you flip the style.
Pun was a G Rap clone, still a unique artist.

 Hmm i guess your right that every rapper had influence from somewhere.
 I've never even heard of cage, i own one masta ace album on cassette but i was a kid back then and cant even remember it, dont recal EM soundin like ace but i aint heard ace in YEARS.
 Anyways as i said i wont judge Hopsin from ONE song.
