Legends dropping weak shi 💩 (LL, new Rakim track, Common & Pete Rock) 

Rakim song was good too me

“Wise Up” is dope … you’re buggin’

Tochi is morpheus in this hiphop matrix, exposing fake shit.

this guy must be a lil uzi vert fan

All of common and pete rock tracks are super dope.

THE RAKIM TRACK IS FIRE. KORRUPT& MASTA KILLAH, IN PARTICULAR, CAME CORRECT….😊

I agree that we should never make peace with mediocrity. But, as a boom bap generation fan of hip hop, that beat on Rakim’s Be Ill is a breath of fresh air for me and countless others. It’s fire. And Rakim’s verse is not just “a’ight.” It’s complex, artful, and dope. I’m hearing more people appreciate and praise it than shake salt on it.

Be ill best is not wack that shit fire and the verses were dope 🤔

You never made an album brother you a hip hop specialist now

As much as I hate to admit it, you are 💯 on this. The 90’s sound is timeless and it’s disappointing that the legends aren’t maintaining the standard.

The one thing I can say about that track is QTip is a beast.

If yOu DoN’t LiKe ThEiR nEw SoNgS, yOu’Re NoT a ReAl fAn

What? The Saturday Night Special beat was wack? Bro, I wanna subscribe just so I can unsubscribe. Ya buggin.

I agree with a lot of your points especially with legends putting out mid product. One project you might have missed was Large Professors collab with Al Skratch - Be Original. If you want that 90s boom bap those two brothers still got it.

To quote Common Some of the shit Yall bop to I ant relating. If I dont like, I don’t like it. That don’t mean that I’m hating

Rakim should use multiple producers for 1 album to put it in its proper perspective. Alchemist, DJ Premier, and Q tip. "Keep Following the Leader". Talk that knowledge wisdom and understanding. "Cause we was put here to be much more than that But we couldn't see because our mind was trapped But Im here to break away the chains, take away the pains, Remake the brains Rebuild my name (Rakim) I guess nobody told you a little knowledge is dangerous it cant be mixed, diluted, it cant be changed or switched Here's a lesson if your guessing and borrowing Hurry, hurry, step up and keep Following the Leader"

i like all the tracks they were pretty good

Respect I see where you are coming from Peace

You piss me off so much sometimes but I'll never unsubscribe. You have your own perspective and I respect you for keeping it real. Agreed, we are in an entertainment apocalypse (especially in film) but I would say it started with the pandemic. It bothers me when the public's indication of a "good song" seems to just be a regurgitation of the familiar. The 2010s are my favorite decade for hip hop and it definitely has to do with the fact I grew up thru it. But to me the artistry and innovation peaked there, at least for the foreseeable future.

Thag rakim song & ll cool j songs are both dope too me ...

Not just hiphop related but the entertainment apocalypse point is 100%. My thing that really clued me in recently is The Fallout TV show on Amazon. Shit was so garbage I was angry watching it but everyone praised it like it was special and I’m genuinely baffled as to why. Also funny that that was originally another brilliant thing that started in the 90s and got watered down so go figure

The LL track wasn't hitting but Rakim was dope and Common and Pete Rock was 🔥. They might have album of the year

Rakim making a song with wack ass B.G. has my expectations really low for that album.

Rakim made that beat. I like it. I appreciate his multi syllable schemes. Kurupt dropped a classic sounding verse, but his analogies/metaphors aka barz are super simplistic. The last verse was “ok.” Everything else you said about everyone else I completely agree with!

Rappers from the 90s that never got their just due like RasKass , Killa Priest, Apathy makes the best music

That new LL is fire. Haven’t heard the others yet. J dropped some jewels on there and it made sense.

Hey you have some dope views I hope that one day you do get your platform up and out cuz you dropped some straight jewels and people who hate that's what they going to do man so keep doing what you got to do keep telling the truth and shoot tap in I love debating hip-hop I'm in a group called The Elements so definitely I would love to chop it up with you

Real talk! 🫵🏿🦾

I respect your take sir 🎉 90s cant be replaced . All props to the ogs still at it despite. Things roll back around in cycles . Itll be back stronger in due time

Constantly letting mediocrity slide and even rewarding it just keeps the whole entertainment industry in a rut. We’ll keep getting drivel until people start raising their standards and stop giving these companies money.

I loved the track, QTip floored it. The meaning in the lyrics was deep also, I believe he was talkig about the recent beef with you know who.

Better than this bullshit going on now

What are tour thoughts on the new Erick Sermon joint with Salt N Pepa? They're before my time but thought it was a cool throwback sounding joint.

I think rocky is dropping an album in august

What Pete Rock instrumental track was that? The first one you played

What are your thoughts on breakdancing becoming an Olympic Sport?

He was talking about his friend Alpo

So what’s not weak? Not saying LL and Rakim are beyond criticism, but the Com & PR joint are tough.

Ayee how can I read these comics people trashing on (they just hurt you have a different opinion) you keep doing you

All you need to do to understand the rakim single and album is watch rakim interview by TMZ

Biggest problem is not using the 12 bit machines anymore. The crunchy mid range sound is gone when they switched to the 16 bit machines/computers.

I agree that some legends have fallen off, IE Ghostface. But Im looking forward to that Common and Pete Rock album. I dont mind the more relaxed Pete Rock production. We'll see how it turns out.

What the hell have you done thats top tier….Rakim did the track scratches & brought together top artist with a sick verse. I liked it & I’m a true Hip hop head so Until you write & produce anything even in that stratosphere your jus a fan with an opinion…smh…The fan base loves it, your in the minority. Name the artist you think is dropping the hottest stuff right now?

Talk about that Kendrick concert that dude in the comments was saying is “historic” 🤣

We all have are opinions I like all 3 tracks I’m glad the legends are outside gotta change things up it’s a new era it will never be like it use to be.

I thought the song was decent maybe cuz i haven't heard a dope track from ra in a minute so it's nice hearin him again. hell maybe he'll come back wit 1 last good album atleast so he could end nicely cuz he didn't go out well wit his last few albums. last dope one he had? was 18th letter.

Dude you are delusional looking for likes. Be ill is a great track

I never heard a wack pete rock beat in my life wich new track are you refering too? I need to hear it. Real hiphop died a long time ago. I would say it ended somewhere when 50 cent came out.

TOTALLY AGREE!!! And I said that on his page...

I get it! Seems like there’s nothing else to rap about, it’s already been said! Wish the D.O.C. never got into that accident. I’m sure rappers would be on their game, from a lyrical standpoint, not mumble rap

I really like both singles from the common and Pete rock album so far esp dreaming. But what’s the point of wanting to hear that album if your only focusing (or nitpicking) on PR’s beats while ignoring commons bars and the fact that this is the sharpest he’s sounded in YEARS on the mic, that kind of defeats the purpose of reviewing a COLLAB album.

Couldn't disagree more except for Rakim's single. That could've been way better. LL's was solid and Common & Pete's first 2 singles were 🔥🔥🔥

Pete rock definitely be making them scenic beats😂😂😂. That black star respiration remix would best describe what you were saying. Especially when that lil sax loop goes in and out throughout the beat

What’s your tweeter bro im trying to put a conversation between you watson and 3 litter man … this shit will be gold and funny 🤣🔥

I think you've missed the point of the lyrics on LL's joint. Granted - you're right about the title... but look beyond that and listen again. The music is not it tho' gotta say... Peep the LL and Eminem jawn... Sick, musically and lyrical delivery! Rakim's Be Ill is better than what he;s put out in 25 years. Common & Pete Rock...so far, I kinda agree with you wholeheartedly....Nas & Premier's Define my Name ain't it neither. Still, gotta wait on more from them all so we can give a full critique as albums are comin'... but yeah, we want 'best foot forward' music and all round dope production which it would seem is on shaky ground from the legends, but i still have high hopes, until/unless we get let all the wayyyy down. Let's wait n hear/see.

Word up Tochi! These new tracks by Rakim, Common, LL, and Ghostface have been dangerously mid, but I’m just happy none of our old school legends have dropped anything as bad as Kings Disease or Magic😬

Yo homie you have a wack ass ear!! The Common & Pete Rock Joints are dope!! This is the problem with the net anyone with no music credibility can post a bogus opinion. I played all 3 joints on a pair of clipse speakers and its plenty of bottom.

Weak Productions 😂😂

Dr. Dre produced Marsha Ambrosius' new album dropping on June 29th...let's see what we get there...

I thought Saturday Night Special was better than anything the new rappers are putting out there, but by LL and Fat Joe's standard, it was lackluster. It was one of those songs you listen to when it comes on, but you are not going to go search it out unless you havent heard it yet. I thought Pete Rock & Common's record was great.

Not agree on ll and common/pr , agree on Rakim

I liked all the songs. Not classic but good.

Okay you made some good points I will gave you that, but the thing is he was taking a shot at Drake he was speaking on all of his personalities the things that he does in the industry he just didn't say any names from what I got I believe that or he was talking in random about the state of Hip Hop and how cheap it's gotten that anybody can get it I'm from the era of the Saturday night special guns and any Joe Schmo on the Block can get one so I think he's saying metaphorically like that's how the game has gotten that anybody can get in here and pop I didn't see no Hustler lyrics on there I seen old LL Q-tip did the beat those are the type of Vibes that we can old school for the simple fact that the Young Generation is not doing anything to elevate the game there was a saying on the Avengers first movie example and one of the agents gave Captain America back his old costume he said well isn't that a little old school and the Agents response was in this day and age it's needed. I understand what you're saying about the bar I do get that I just don't think it was horrible I believe he could have came out with a different single but I think just because he's trying to make noise and ride the wave of the Drake situation I think that that's the reason why he did this if I was if I was in the booth with him I would have told him this is not a single is definitely an album but I would never released it for my single

You have no music cred sitting on a computer making comments

Common new track was FIRE, and so was RAKIM. Both of them are still lyrical, but LL was terrible imo. Lupe Fiasco new album is fire too. Twista bodied Joyner Lucas on their new track, Krino is the greatest rapper on Earth, he's underground and been rapping since 80s, and still raps just as good if not better. Krayzie Bone latest albums are good too.

I don't need to hear this person's review . The title tells me everything I need to know. I'm interested in the responses to his take. Unironically, this guy's wearing a shirt that says 'Follow The Leader'.

Who is gonna take Bucky from fat Albert serious... Go critique some country music.

Why don’t you start doing videos on new tracks that you do like. But I agree with u. LL beat is not garbage tho

For me the beat is important only as a canvas for the MCs themes/intentions/ideas to be realized. It can either heighten or lower expectations for a song but it should never take precedence over the actual lyrics themselves. It's just embellishment. Some artists have top tier production but artistically "ain't sayin nuthin" serving up Rosetta Stone level rhymes with boarding house reasoning. To each his own.

It’s a shame that even Joey Bada$$ is making better ’90s-style records on albums like 2000 than these legends are with their new music.

Be ill... The beat is cold. Opinions vary. Like legends care.

Critique of LL on point, not his strength, hand gestures come off as over dramatic/phony, what is he talking about? COMMON, however, is a story teller, Totally Relevant., clear and concise!

Was disappointed to see him with officer ross even more disappointed when the OGs support the wack shit

the question is always- CAN I BEAT THIS IN MY CAR? The answer is HELL NO!!! disagree on the RAkim track, but kurupt need to retire. I;m from chicago so you know i'm feelng that Common joint. And that new dogg pound track is kinda decent...

lol. I don't think you would like any record any one of these guys come with. It just doesn't sound like anything they did in the past.

....

I RESPECT YOUR OPINION BUT WHAT DO U JUDGE THIS BASED OFF WHAT MUSIC? TODAYS MUSIC?MAYBE IM BIASED BUT ALOT OF THE STUFF I HEAR TODAY IS PRETTY MUCH PATHETHIC.SO FOR ME RAKIM NEW JOINT IS DOPE.AND PETE ROCK AND COMON JOINT IS FIRE.BUT ILL JUST SAY YOU HAVE YOUR OPINION AND I RESPECT IT BUT FROM WHAT IM SEEING YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW THAT FEEL THIS WAY.BUT SALUTE KING.I KNOW U NOT HATING ON THEM AND STATING HOW U FEEL BUT I DISAGREE ON THE PETE AND COMMON STUFF BEING WEAK.PLUS PETE IS JUST IN A DIFFERENT MINDSET.

this is why u the number one youtuber u say it as it is and i love rakim common pete rock cl smooth like i said before that saturday night its just ok i wouldnt rush out and buy it but its not just the music its movies and tv programmes ...im a horror fan and did u know i aint seen a good horror film since the 80s yep thats right and theres people coming up to me saying oh u gotta watch wes cravens sream...trash and there u have movies like blair witch progject ...again trash. just like dr who and i always said the best dr who came from the 70s when i was a kid they say tom baker was the best but i say it was john pertewee who was before tom baker but after tom baker left it was garbage even todays standerds tochirta u as always u spot on 🤟🤟🤟

You bugging bro you're ears are broken

DO YOU MAKE MUSIC ON THEN SHUT UP. THE MUSIC IS GREAT IT'S 2O24 BYE 👋🏽 🤣😂😏

AARP card raps

The whole shit just feels contrived as fuck and not natural. The first single with Pete rock sounded dated and way too busy. He kept that little sound that Dre used in “bitches ain’t shit” going throughout the entire song and it should’ve stayed with the hook. But I digress, I’m inebriated LOL

Yea........ nah

I just subscribed....ll cool j,rick ross is trash...I thought I was trippin

And far as Rakim I've met him spit bars with him and I can honestly say without a doubt being one of his hugest fans I mean the hugest fan I really was not pleased with that first single even though corrupt and master killer was on there I didn't agree he could at least came out with the like guess who's back that was a definite I'm back I haven't dropped the ball on lyrics or anything like that but honestly I was not happy with this

Dude...REALLY?? Just say you trying to get CLICKS. 1st off you saying RAP ..then you saying HIP HOP. Do you KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? You coming across like some LOW TEMPERATURE HIGH SODIUM BLACK LICORICE snack. I hope when you drop your shhh that it will not have ANY ELEMENTS of the artists you here trashing. You say NEXT YEAR you dropping.. Ima wait. You better have some GRAMMY AWARD winning shhh or what you saying is BLATHER! Granted this is ONLY your opinion... I respect that...BUT dont act like what you popping is gospel. You got the reaction you wanted.. Im HOT!!! 😂 Keep doing you my Brother.

Boombap has truly fell off the cliff. I think it's split into two categories. One is the so called "boombap" which is really just stiff drumless griselda stuff and then you got young producers who try to emulate the 90s cuz they love it but don't quite understand the layers and nuances of what made those beats special to begin with so those blind spots are ignored and the finished product is some weak knockoff that just doesn't hit hard like the 90s boombap beats do.

How do you think that Cormega x Havoc album is gonna turn out? Did you hear Set the Tone from Ghostface yet? Not good.

your comic books were trash too lol...pete rok song wise up is good

did you just say you are an artist LOL..youir comic books failed bro

common n pete rock is nice..this is his thing..he stays releveant by calling everything trash...rakim was alright nt that good
