[poll] The New Testament vs Hi Life Hustle

[Don Seer]

may be a bit early for this..

personally i think Hi-C's album is waaaay better, I'm very disappointed with Suga Free's but people say it grows on you, so i'mma keep it in rotation.

[Cordy]

Hi C had a better album.

Suga Free's was a dissapointment, there was a few good songs though. Track 2 and 8. But it misses another "If U Stay Ready".

Hi C 2.5/5
Suga Free 2/5

[Cordy]

Really, its an average album. Not bad at all, track 2 and 8 are tight, angry enough was cool....

But where is the OUTSTANDING track? Theres no track NEAR as good as, If U Stay Ready.

I expected a lot more. Theres better unreleased Suga Free songs than on this album

[Don Seer]

Angry Enuff is tight.. bumped that to death already tho

I think Why U Bullshittin' Part 2 destroys If U Stay Ready. If only Free could've kept the energy he had on that track, through the whole album.

Musically Tha New Testament >>>>>>>>>>>> Street Gospel

Lyrically Street Gospel >>>>>>>>>>>> Tha New Testament

Just my opinion. Hi-C's ain't fuckin' with Suga Free's.

I think that "Hi-Life Hustle" is better than "The New Testament" lyrically, musically, and flow-wise.  Maybe "The New Testament" hasn't "grown on me" enough, but a lot of the tracks on it are already getting kinda boring already.  

First, Suga Free doesn't have as clever of lyrics that he had on "Street Gospel."  "Why You Bullshittin" was pure genius, and no track on "The New Testament" comes close to this.  The lyrics simply are not as good on this album. Flow-wise,  I really hate it when he yells in this album, it makes everything stressful (example: the end of "Circus Music" around the 2:45 mark.)  Other than that, Free flows to the beats better than he did before, but the lyrics and yelling bring his overall lyricist rating down.  The one thing that is missing from "The New Testament" is its lack of mellow, laid back tracks.  "Street Gospel" had "If You Stay Ready," "Don't No Suckaz Live Here," "Tip Toe," and " Doe Doe And A Skunk," while the only track that even resembles this on "The New Testament" is "Did I Do Dat."  There are a lot of hot cuts on "The New Testament," but I feel it lacks some of the polish and smooth shit that made "Street Gospel" so good.

"Hi-Life Hustle" has plenty of that smooth shit and really works well all the way through.  The majority of the beats are made to cruise around to, and every song has a tite ass bassline.  Hi-C's lyrics are untouchable: every song is fucking hilarious and clever.  Hi-C's lyrics definitely top Suga Free's on "The New Testament."  Overall, "Hi-Life Hustle" is what a West Coast album should sound like.  "The New Testament" is a praise-worthy album that does not come close to "Street Gospel."

The new testament by far.  I'm luvin the album, intro to outro.  3x better than any album that dropped last year.

[Don Seer]

i'm amazed at how even this has come out so far!

[Suffice]

did either one of teh two ablums even come out yet?

[IKON]

the suga free officially drops tuesday with a free dvd

the HI C is suppose to drop on the 23rd on Rap A Lot but who knows if it will come out

damn im hella surprised that peeps are saying that HI Life Hustle is better than the new Testament

HI Life Hustle is up there with the quik camp classics like street gospel, rhythmalism, non fiction

and I was highly surprised at how good HI C's production was on Hi Life Hustle , he sounds like Quik

if i look forward to another street gospel from suga free i know im gonna be dissapointed with the new testament, thats why im gonna keep on open mind when i pick it up tuesday, damn we have been waiting forever for this shit so lets support him

[Don Rizzle]

after 7 years i expected alot somthing better form suga free but still its a good album. Hi-C surprised me how good an album he can make

[LazyLatino]

Its kinda meaningless too me to have a poll of 2 albums that didnt even drop yet.....

But as u know, most ppl on the net these days download most things, so many ppl on this board can give an opinion. Im still waiting for Hi-C to drop. It WAS only like $6 on cduniverse.com before it got backordered. I will get the Suga Free next order I make, from most reports it sounds like a dope album, and i loved his first one anyways
