"Beats on here > any of Em's since MMLP. The original one."



agreed. but beats are just beats.



ill never forget in highschool when i showed my friend the Black Star album, 15 mins in he goes "yeah

this has good beats, thats all that really matters, anything is good if it has a good beat"



im thinkin in my head... 'this guy is an idiot'... how the hell do you think the forte of the music

is a two-second looped beat made by scratching a record when they spent months or years writing these

lyrics?

yeah welll this isn't 1994 anymore and hip hop beats are a lot different to back then, they play a bigger and more exciting part in modern albums

yeah but if you've been listening to hip hop since the 90s its pretty hard to get into shit that is

supposed to be in the same genre but is mostly-almost exclusively about the beats.



couldnt be a more fitting name than hip pop imo



plus you don't have to sacrifice lyrics for production like Killer Mike and El-P showed... or Del

they just do cuz its easier, faster and makes the same or more money for less effort.

I thought their focus was on the technical aspects(flow, word play, that kind of stuff)

for me its beats first. if its got a shitty beat its hard for me to get into. if it has a good beat then if the lyrics are good thats what gets me to come back



i'm not a true hip hop fan by any means though

for me the beats on this are kinda boring compared to the beats on section.80. lyrically/flow wise they're about the same(i'd even give section.80 the edge because of songs like "rigamortis", "poe man's dream", and "keisha's song"). Plus section.80 hasn't fallen off at all for me, where this album got old after like a month

comparing 2012/13/14 instrumentals to 1994/95/96 instrumentals is kinda dumb

the genre has evolved and the beats/production have become even more important to the hip-hop "sound" as time goes on

I personally depend on the rapper as much, if not more.
A great rapper will rescue a bad beat much more than a fantastic beat would save a horrid rapper

The only song I can't get behind on here is "Real". I enjoy the lyricism on the track, but the production on the tune is so basic that I just get bored.

i don't mind the beat on real but the hook sucks and it's definitely the worst track
