Title: So I picked up Obie's album and....
Post by: Lincoln on September 27, 2003, 10:37:11 PM
Very dope. I wasn't sure whether it would be good or not, it could have gone either way. I'm feeling that Shit Hits The Fan & Got Some Teeth more than I did before. Only songs I didn't feel were Bad Bitch, Hey Lady & Hoodrat. I also didnt feel 50's verse on that one joint. Overall I was impressed. 4/5.

You didn't like "Hey Lady"? That's one of my favorites on the album.

Hey Lady
Cheers
Oh

My 3 favs

I thought Hey Lady was terrible. Couldn't dig it all. However, Eminem dropped some dope rhymes on the 3 tracks he did full verses on. I haven't felt Em's latest work too much so I was happy.

I don't like "Hoodrats" either, but "Lady" and "Bad Bitch" are fuckin' dope! My favourites are "Lady", "Bad Bitch", "Shit Hits The Fan", "We All Die One Day" and "Oh!".

I definitely disagree whi'chu about "Lady". That's one of the best traccs IMO. I like that, as well as "Oh", "Average Man", "Don't Come Down", and "We All Die One Day" the best. Five best traccz IMO.

Word.  Some people arnt feeling Obie's lyrics, but IMO he's an aggresive MC and his style is raw.

Damn Jome I don't know how you could replace "Cheers".  It might have to grow on ya.


And how uncreative is the title for the last song?  
Could they not think of a name for the song or something so they just named it "Outro" cause it's the last song?

I thought that was odd too.  It's sounds like a sequel to another song( not sure of the name) but it should have been "  " part2 or something.

18.  8 Miles [UK Bonus Track]
19.  Synopsis [UK Bonus Track]  


I have a snippet of "Synopsis", pretty OK track.
8 Miles or "Make it to 8 miles" sounds like it's produced by the same producer as "Synopsis"..

2 very simple and similar tracks.. doesn't add much to the CD, imo..

Word, I found that odd too.
There's no chorus though, so there's no obvious contestant for title..
They could have 50 doing a chorus, and call it "Rap Game pt.2".. that would be tight.

It mos def sounds very similar to "Rap Game". Am i the only one that thinks maybe they rushed this a bit early and it wasn't entirely completed how Obie and Em wanted?
