Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

How many of those are still doing music?

Pete and CL? Run DMC? Rakim? His last album was ten years ago. Have you heard the new one in its entiry already?

Pharoahe and Q-Tip? Are you shitting me son?? Are you even listening to these artists or are you just pulling names out of your ass?

Q-Tip's "The Renaissance" was straight fire, but I bet CharlesJones will just be like "LOL it fucking sucks hahahahahaha".

I guess not "expecting" is key. When everyone was expecting Kingdom Come to be another Black Album, it seemed Snoop came outta nowhere with the Blue Carpet album. (His R&G album was dope too but it depends on the type of fan). I think more than half of the albums I listed I wasnt really expecting.

Those Ice Cube albums were wack, I can't get past the fact that cube could even been considered as still bringing out solid music.

El Don, your right about Ice Cube. His last 4 albums have been garbage. Bootlegs And B Sides was his last good album. Tommy, i see you like gay music since you like Common and QTip hahahahahahahahahahaha. Prolifical ENG, you can't be serious that Snoop Dogg's Blue Carpet Treatment and RBG albums are good hahahahahahahahahaha. Doggystyle is his only good album. Snoop's beats haven't been good since Doggystyle. He should've continued to let Dr Dre produce all of his beats. I remember he has a skit on The Doggfather album talking to a guy and the guy says now that Dre left Death Row, your beats are gonna be delicate. Snoop said delicate? He said i don't need no muthafucking beat. Yeah right LOL. Bad beats are the reason why his albums after Doggystyle suck LOL. I don't know why Jay-Z's fans were anticipating Kingdom Come album to be good. The Black Album probably sucked and i haven't heard it because i don't wanna hear it. I gave up on him after The Blueprint album. Blackprint, i named all of those rappers because like i said, they haven't made good albums since the 90's. I know Rakim's new album is gonna suck. That's just the way i feel because i wasn't feeling The 18th Letter and The Master albums. Rakim said some good lyrics on those albums but i wasn't feeling his beats. Pharoahe Monch's only good album is Internal Affairs. Desire album sucked and he takes way too long to put out albums.

I thought The Estatic and Megagraphitti by Vordul Mega were very solid.

You can't tell me that the albums that they're releasing now sound as good as the albums they did in the 80's and 90's. The rap albums they did in the 80's and 90's had more good songs than bad songs. It's the total opposite now. There's more bad songs than good songs on their albums. I can't name one good rapper from back in the day that's still doing music now that is still making good albums. Not one. Ice Cube, Rakim, LL Cool J, Keith Murray, EPMD, KRS One, Redman, Wu Tang, Onyx, Too Short, Spice 1, MC Eiht, Ice T, Brand Nubian, Naughty By Nature, Pharoahe Monch, QTip, Boot Camp Click, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Run DMC. I know ya'll disagree with me but it's my opinion and you don't have to like my opinion. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and people shouldn't get banned from a website because of what they say that other people may not like.

don;t you miss this type on discontempt,lol

I haven't heard Raekwon's album yet but when i do, i'll give you my opinion about it. I wouldn't be surprised either if the album sucks when i do listen to it because he hasn't made a good album since his first one.

you havent heard OB4CL2...

you decided AFTER the new danger and tru3 magic not to check for him anymore?

wtf is wrong with ppl here? the new danger was easily one of the most creative hip hop albums in the '00s, covering about 3-4 different music genres.
