Guest appearances you could do without
« on: November 25, 2003, 02:11:06 AM »
Idea just occured to me when I was listening to 'Can U Feel That' off Quik's Balance & Options.

This shit could happily lose Mausberg (RIP) and whoever the fuck the third guy is... and just have three verses of classic Quik.

Any others?

The song's called "Did y'all feel dat?" and 'the third guy' is Skaboobie. Personally I think it's ok with those verses in that particular song, but I feel you.

Probably the artist I would like to hear on the solo more often most is Nate Dogg. He coulda done better without HALF or more of the guest appearances in his last album.

I agree. Quik's verse on that song is one of his best. Maus(even though he's tight) & Skaboobie didn't do too well on it. Another song like this is "20 Minutes" off of NLTD. Goldie didn't bring ANY heat on this track, but Snoop ripped it.

Yeah, shit - I was sitting here all confused between that and that track on 'Berg's album called 'I Can Feel That' or something - thought I'd attempt something in between the two ;)

Crawf - feel ya on that '20 Minutes'. I remember copping NLTD and wondering why Snoop was bringing Goldie into the game - he struck me as totally average. Took until Tha Eastsidaz' first CD for me to realise he was dope.

Although it was actually on his own album, Snoop sounded like an unwanted guest on Down For My Niggas from NLTD. Magic and C-Murder bout ripped that beat, and then Snoop came in spitting all pimpish on a hype track, didn't work at all.

DJ Quik's verse on "Put It In The Air" by Talib Kweli. I like Quik, but his verse, amusing though it was, had absouloutly nothing to do with what Kweli was spitting about. Add that to the fact Kweli has hardly ever called women bitches or done any of the disrespectful shit, and then Quik comes in with "i'm in the back room making her run, ain't even touched her and making her cum". It was actually pretty hilarious, but didn't fit in at all.

Yeah, Quik usually spits a lot better than that. It wasn't wack though. Just out of place.

defo '20 minutes',not '20 minutes part 2" though! Let me think of others:
- Jay-Z off "Lollipop"
-Kokane's talking off "When you see me" (he isn't bad on it,but the whole track is allready a bit bizarre and Kokane's talking is rather unneccesary)
- Johnny Chronic off "Whatever",unlike some of you, I actually like that track,it's so laidback, but Johnny is out of place and wack on it.

I'm sure I can think of others when I think more.

Kokane on  "Freak Of The Week" it could have been a great Soopafly song...Kokane's verse was wack

kokane on How we kick it on Christmas it could have been better with a smooth by Nate Dogg, Butch Or LaToiya even a choir could have been better than kokane

Kokane On Summetime man this Snoop song is so tight buy he fucked it again with his weird chorus

Snoop should've been left off of "Down For My Niggas".

Snoop should've been left off of "Gangsta Gumbo".

It should have been just Pac, Fatal, and Syke on "When We Ride".

Kurupt and Killah Priest should've been left off of a grip of Horsemen tracs.

Hell no, KP killed every track on that album.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
