Mos Definitely inspired by some Common Sense...
1. Why do Timbaland’s backing vocals on these tracks sound like Chewbacca?
2. Why does Shawn Carter recycling old material ten years later sound so much fresher than Curtis Jackson doing it after four years? Is it down to execution? passion? talent?
3. Why is Lil Wayne expecting people to pay for a collection of songs they’ve already been downloading all year for FREE? I know it’s a Xmas release, but nobody’s going to be feeling that generous.
4. How many emcees are going to drop painful vocoder rap songs before the trend goes the way of hip-house and Lil Jon? I might be slightly ahead of the curve here and hope it fades into obscurity before it can do any more harm.
5. Whatever happened to Mr Used-to-be-prolific: MF Doom?
6. Why do I suspect the Big Doe Rehab might just be a get-out-of-contract-quick rush job? Not sure about a couple of the producers credited - not that a half-assed Ghostface album wouldn’t still be one of ‘07’s highlights.
7. Is Lupe Fiasco trying to sabotage his new album?
8. Is Tony Yayo’s presence - let alone singing the hook - on a song “for the ladies” not about as inappropriate as casting Mel Gibson in a holocaust movie? I hate to hate, but he’s such a creepy dude (that applies to both of them).
9. Why can I only think of two or three (or four) rap albums from the 1st half of this year that still warrant a listen?
10. Wouldn’t Rik Cordero hooking up with Raekwon for a bunch of cinematic viral videos for Cuban Linx 2 be awesome? [This idea’s been jacked in most part from Wu brother no. 1]
