[Soulja]

Song is hot! I love the beat. If his show is half as good as Common or Talib then I can't wait to see him live.

[dj ShorTbuS]

yo soulja, i seen him live in Chicago about a year ago. (The night the Cubs beat whoever to advance to NLCS. The club was right down the street from Wrigley. Fucking nuts man.)But anyway, it was the best show iv'e seen yet. the sound was excellent. Not real bass heavy like most hip hop shows. you could hear everything crystal clear. He had a guy up on stage with an asr-10 telling him to load up this beat or that beat, it was pretty cool. and as an added bonus, He called Kweli and Kanye out to the stage and Maseo from De La was the DJ. dope fucking show.

[DJ Excellence]

I'm not feeling this... ! He thinks he's Johnny Gill or what? ;P

 

[Vice]

all i can say is ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME.

 

[DJ Excellence]

Well after a second listen , I must say it's not that bad ....just not as "raw" as Black Starr or his first album...

 

[Cold Truth]

must we keep comparing these guys to their old work?

is it too hard to judge something on its own merits?

The only reason i ever compared them to there old stuff is because there old stuff is what i liked, its what kept me a fan for all this time, so it comes natural to have these high expectations of the artist i used to love and respect, BUT i have learned that Hip Hop just isnt the same anymore and i have to accept the change. Im with u on this one Cold, we need to base our judgements on what it IS, and not what it coulda been if they woulda made it 5 years ago.

Of course we must, we need to have some kind of point of reference artist-wise....and if "New" means insipid RnB and booty songs then fuck "New" ....

 

[Cold Truth]

what do you need a point of reference for? so that you can look back and say "i hate mc so-and-so's new album because he didnt give me a rehashed version of the same album".... its one thing entirely to dislike something based on its own merits. its another when the quality of something is based squarely on how it stacks up to a previous album or any other album for that matter.... if something is good, it is good and if it isnt it isnt, regardless of what came before it. i dont care for beautiful struggle as a whole, because i dont like the album. it has nill to do with the train of thought or black star albums; likewise with the new mos album. i like it, and it has nothing to do with black on both sides.

but hey, if not being "more of the same" is a good enough reason to dismiss something for you, then do you i guess.... but thats a very limiting- and unfair- way to do it.

btw, what does "new" equating to bopty music and "insipid" rnb have anything to do with this album?

 

[DJ Excellence]

Truth: I have my opinion, you have yours....let's just leave it at that...;P

 

[Cold Truth]

ok, no problem. i mean, who actually wants to look at the other side of the coin? god forbid.

 

[berserk]

haha... i swear... these days your just being confrontational for the hell of it...

on another note... i wouldn't be surprised if this album goes platinum... he's got a big buzz at the moment...

he also presented the mobo's last night... totally irrelevant... but he did a good job...

What kind of comment is that? you're not a cop, are u?
