Should I Buy These? (Cee-Lo and Clipse)

[Kaidy]

What are your opinions on these two albums?

I haven't bought a decent rap album in a while, actually since 8 Mile. I'm looking for something original and creative, I'm tired of generic played out crap.

If you could recommend one or two tracks from each I could d/l to preview that'd be much appreciated

 Clipse.. I dunno, I dont think they original at all and I dont really like Cee-Lo but his shit is original, so u should give it a listen, then maybe buy it

^^^dont listen to this guy...

The Clipse album is hard...theyre some of the best young talent out right now...they just get hated on cuz of the Neptune affiliation...(and people say i hate commercial shit..lmao)...lots of story tellin...funny rhymes and lots of party music on the cd...id cop it if i was u...

as for the Cee-Lo...that shit was way to 70s Funkadelic throw back for me...

[EM28]

yeah get the clipse album its pretty tite.

peace

[Trauma-san]

I haven't heard the Clipse, but the Cee-Lo gets the Trauma stamp of approval.  "Gettin Grown" "Young Man" "Damn" "Basehead Jazz" lots of good songs on there.

I just bought clipse the other day and it pretty tite.

[Cliftone_Santiago_909]

Yeah, I bought tha C Lo and I wasn't really down with it... Too much singing and he's on this big ol Soul Brotha trip... he had like 2 songs I thought were cool on tha whole album.




How do you feel about tha whole "Underground" movement type of Rap going around these dayz? I'm down with it.... check out anything from Tha Heiroglyphics Crew... Masta Ace:Disposable Arts... Talib Kweli:Quality... Cali Agents... J5?


Aceyalone... Motion Man:Clearin Tha Feild... People Under Tha Stairs... out of their cd's I'd recommend "Questions In Tha Form Of Answers"... and Blackalicous dropped "Blazin Arrow" last year but their album before that "NIA" was DOPE... J Live, tha SoundBombing cd's are coo'... Quasimoto if you get high and like Turntabalism....  all kinds of shit out homie... I aint really dissapointed with Rap, I'm gonna most likely pick some shit out tomorrow...


Well check out any of this stuff and get at me on IM if you want more... Peace out...

Same here, I might cop Clipse' album in the nr future though, their new single is banging, and "Grindin'" was quite dope too.

[P Nelson]

LOl sgv ur so immature, is he ur pimp or somethin???  The way u actin, Ima start to think that the bitch in that picture is u... what will smerlus do if u call him ? Talk shit. Man I think ur the dumbest poster ever, tellin people not to listen to me juss because of my opinion and threatin me to call the one pimpin ur bitch ass because u cant talk smartly, u need another 12 years old just startin to pms hoe to talk some dumb shit on the internet. The truth is that ur mad at me cuz u hate 50 Cent and I dont, now u will have to follow me in every post to talk shit because u cant live with the fact that theres not only E40 in this rap game

So Please leave E40's & Smerlu's nuts alone, and grow up a bit, I dont understand why ur a moderator really... when ur probably dumber then anyone in the board

I would recommend getting Cee-Lo, even if it's not totally my genre, but he's dope no doubt.

The Clipse I would not recommend at all.. the crack-stories has been told before by better artists, and their delivery is boring.
When I hear them rap, I don't pay much attention to their lyrics, because it's funny to listen to their voice-level, it's so monotone that it's funny.
They have a few nice onliners, but their charisma-level isn't high at all..
I guess that's why they have Pharrel on every chorus..

[Kaidy]

Thanks for all the replies, I'll most likely pick both of those up pretty soon.

Don Chron: Yea I try to stay up on the underground scene. Lyrically a lot of those cats are real good to listen to, but I need to have some polished beats too. It's hard finding a happy medium.
Thanks for that list though, i'll check out those artists. I been meaning to peep the new Talib and the Blackalicious for a minute.
