Title: i feel like the testament is rap album of the year so far...
Post by: smartass on February 26, 2005, 11:31:18 AM
this is like 8 years old and it still has more replay value than anything thats dropped since the start of the year. the concepts, the production, lyricism, his flow is just trash tho. if you're into that 90's grimey ny shit then i think you will really like this. the documentary was dope, dont get me wrong, but it had zero replay value for me because all he does is name drop and the beats were good, but everyone was making it out to be the next 2001 production wise.
i just heard the massacre and its too long. thats the problem with alot of albums today. he should have kept it to 10 or 12 tracks.
i liked baltimore love thing but the concept was done much better by ali vegas and camron, i know a few others have done it better too. starchild by o.c. is really the only album out now that i think comes close.
i think beans could top cormega cause hes just in top form as an mc, and it when it comes to picking beats, he has a good ear. feel it in the air is crazy. what ya life like III is a guaranteed banger. 8)

Yeah man, I gotta admit that Cam track was way better than Baltimore Love Story.

So it has zero replay value because he says names in his lyrics?

well iīm a fan of both Mega and Game and i canīt choose which one i like the most  :-\ i was honestly expecting this Mega album to be a classic but it certainly isnīt and the same shit with Gameīs album. but the best album to drop this year was John Legendīs album IMO it shits on both The Doc. & The Testament

I'm joking, but seriously, I don't get how that "name dropping" annoys people so much.

^ all you gotta do is look at that list that was posted, of how many times he mentioned people.. i mean if it was a song or 2, of course i dont mind if he mentoions dre and snoop and doggystle and illmatic, that was the basis of his upbringing and were he learned rap from, or some crap liek that, but i mean hes on a different level... "the dedication"... he should be rapping like that 9 min freestyle
