Estranged Reality Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I keep hearing about the Wale: The Mixtape About Nothing from people. (Most of my friends are hipsters.) What do you think of that one?Supposedly Elaine from Seinfeld even makes an appearance on one of the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the kramer" is probably the best tune out of the bunch. overall, it's a straight mixtape, but mad overated.definitely not his best work. check .

The first track is him rapping over the Seinfeld theme song. Now I'm on the Roc Boys redo. Doesn't get much better than that. I'll check out your link, though.I'm disappointed that Jay-Z's album got bumped to next year -- I know he's not as good as he used to be, but American Gangster was a step back in the right direction and I'm looking forward to Blueprint 3. I wasn't a huge fan of the lead single but that doesn't always mean anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacks on deck Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 You didn't like American Gangster?I Know = awesome.cheesy, redundant production, disappointing guest sposts, and he's already rapped about the same exact shit a hell of a lot better earlier in his career.

stacks on deck Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 paper trail by TI was pretty damn goodt.i. was best at doing the stereotypical southern hip-hop shit--catchy choruses, big beats, and limited verses. in paper trail, he's trying to be an actual lyricist, and it's not exactly working. decent album, but not the best of the year. or the best he's ever done.

jimmyslash Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Compared to the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, NWA, Snoop Dogg, and Public Enemy, this rap SUCKS!!!! Dont get me wrong, there would be one or two artist that are pretty good now, (T.I., Chamillionare... LiL Wayne is definately not one of them ) but its totally a shadow of what rap used to be.
