Very nice reviews gents, nice to hear there are others that share my opinions… I was thinking this recently with many other artists and it’s hard to imagine once hard up MCs from the streets who were genuinely talking about their surroundings, 20 years later all cosied up with a cup of cocoa next to wifey, dog at their feet, penning a rap about guns, drugs & bitches!

For some they should just put their past careers in a closed book in the loft…

Scotty Watts was one of the first dudes in Staten Island rhyming. He & Cappadona were two of the most influential dudes to the Wu before Sir Ibu & Poppa Wu.

One.

Only thing worse than old mouf rap is these old handz broads trying to be sexy and 17.

“Bitch you is 50 yrs old and I can wear your labia like a ski hat! Stop frontin’ and give me some throat love!”

I completely disagree with some of the things TheBeAllEndAll said. I don’t think all of Brand Nubian need to quit, in fact all of Sadat X’s work continues to be top notch. Also, some people do still buy this stuff. I would think these artists have as good a shot of moving units as anyone else, now that album sales aren’t what they used to be.

Robbie – I’ve listen to U-God, Kurious and Blaq Poet’s albums and your reviews on all three are on point.

Kurious seems like he’s still striving for play on commercial radio. U-God’s album is way better than his first but some tracks made me think he was trying to bring hip-house back. Blaq Poet……DOPE!

FYI on Scotty Wotty… according to U-God (on Squeeze Radio 89.9 FM 6/19/09), Scotty is some old school cat that he and other members of the Wu looked up to and patterned their style after.

Babygrande records sucks, just like all of these albums except Poet!

Hey Babygrande, how many of those Diamond albums did ya sell? 4 ? maybe 2?
U God always sucked. That Kurious record is fucking atrocious. Puba needs to stop too. In fact, all of Brand Nubian can stop trying to rap. It’s Over. Let it go.
Wu Tang? Shit, they’re still trying to put out records? Raekwon’s album is taking longer than that fucking Guns N Roses album to come out.
Nobody buys this shit anymore! Why do they bother??? Get a job motherfuckers.

“Tash of the Alkaholiks just dropped an album which would be very relevant here too”

After the last two Liks records, I chose to ignore it.

@attenative: Do you work for Babygrande by any chance?

It was more of a various artists type thing but the “Recordkingz” Album was straight Rawness!

BabyGrande and Amalgam are hardly internet labels. I think its unjust to diss them. Both put out physical CDs into stores as well as digital albums. I noticed Kurious had 6 videos and the last one with the Slick Rick feel to it had looked pretty sharp. I also noticed they have a full page ad in XXL this issue. So i think its unfair to say i-net labels are releasing with a $50 budget. It looks like they spent money on a XXL ad, video production and advertising. Thats well over $10,000 even with homie hook up discount rates from industry friends. Do the math.
Its not like these rappers are coming out because its cheap for labels to do so (its the same price as always) the question is more so should these rappers still be rapping?

I actually agree with everything you reviewed here.
My biggest disappointment was that Kurious bullshit.
That shit is trash.

I remember listening to-HipHop Lives full-length w/KRS & Marly Marl,…and I remember being disappointed.Not just because Marly’s beats were-so-so,..but because KRS was rapping about topics he already covered,with no new spins on them.I personally believe the majority of vets releasing new material are uninspired,because-NO vet has released an up to date project that “inspires”.
And personally I just want to hear THAT BOOMBAP in tracks again.
