Alright, that was pretty smooth. Still reminds me of Em, but yeah, pretty tight.

Dirty, influence has it's limits; there's a point where you're just taking someone's styles and not even trying to make it your own, it's still them through and through. Not everyone wants to hear Eminem through every troubled ass kid who picks up a microphone and some production software. Tyler and Earl are influenced by Em, but do their delivery, flow, or lyrical style sound like him? No. Does Hopsin's delivery, flow, and style sound like Em? Almost as if he copied it. Yuck sound a lot like Dinosaur Jr. in their guitar style and songwriting, but does it sound like they just took Mascis' and Barlow's exact style and ran with it? No. There's still some distinction.

I'm not gonna listen to a rapper whose whole point of rapping is to brag. It's useless, it's like listening to love songs all the time. Turn good lines and metaphors into something abstract, or storytelling, or revealing, not the same old bull**** over and over and over.

i know you like lil wayne man!

But yeah can't get into this either. Has that same junior-psycho vibe that makes tech9 appealing to so many people, just minus any interesting wordplay tech has.

HA HAAAAA! True this, but i haven't been listening to him as much recently. In fact, the last mixtape or anything i got by him was No Ceilings. But I am anxiously awaiting the Carter IV, of course. Still, I think Wayne is way sicker/iller/better than this cat.

Speaking of this, I desperately need to listen to Tech9.

Honestly, this track is so so, he has a few lines here and there that are funny but some of it is just simplistic garbage.

Starting beef to ride off of Tyler's fame pretty much.

he sounds like ****ing B.o.B, and his rhymes are only slightly better

.

I dig the track "rolling" from his latest tape. He's just good at sounding cool without saying anything which is a really good skill i feel like


worst cover art ever yuck

[Jester]

Hopsin's just trying to feed off of some of Tyler's hype, lol

[Charlemagne]

I really like Ace, but I have to admit that guy has some pretty great flow/rhymes, it was a very entertaining song and I'd definitely download the album.

[Phantom Limb]

Compared to tyler, he's was more coherent and his flow is way tighter. I dig it.

[TheBig3]

Someones listened to Eminem's first two albums constantly...

and Jay-Z's "takeover."

This is pretty bad.

Speaking of whack ass disses, anyone familiar with Super Market off of Domo's Rolling Paper? I listened to the album, wasn't anything special, but this song jumped out to me, it had me crackin up behind the wheel.
