Them Griselda cats need to stop charging designer prices for their merch, maybe fans will
buy more show tickets. And they need to actually send out the merch that the fans buy as well. :yeshrug:

Alchemist made half the beats on TT4 I don't follow:dahell:


Gibbs delivery appeals to mainstream audiences more than Benny. In the one thread about the two of them people were making fun of the way Gibbs rapped a out how it sounded like agibadibadibadibadibdibba but for mainstream audiences the delivery, flow, cadence is more important than what you say. I like the way Gibbs and benny rap myself.

I'm going to make another thread to see what people value in their rap music and I think I got a good example.

Edit: I'll make the topic later. I can't post shyt from my computer :snoop:

Almost like making regressive throwback music and not evolving with the market puts you in a small bubble, makes it hard to gain new fans, and makes the departure of existing fans really hit your pockets hard. Who could have possibly predicted this....

:francis:
Its because all he talks about is pushing drugs and being a street dude, which, ALOT of MCs do, but he doesn't do it with any sort of originality.

Going back to my previous post about how Gibbs made it work for him...

Gibbs made it work because he is a wordsmith who really mastered the MC game and also ... can spit deep lyrics / other shyt about just drugs, and make it comical or even just crazy out of perspective ... just making up shyt that sounds crazy.

Benny aint got that ... all he has is basic drug raps with just decent MC skills which for some reason everyone in the US is gassing up like hes the new Jay Z but those same heads wont turn out to his show ... cos they dont even believe that shyt.

Benny needs to relax and branch out into some more creative shyt. Even his project with Hitboy was mid .... it jus sounded like outdated 06 hip hop rather than rejuvinated version of that like what alc or madlib are doing.

He aint got that tour appeal yet

Gibbs touched London a month ago and, even tho it was a small area, like 3k, that shyt was sold out and the vibe was crazy.

He needs to branch out same way Gibbs did ... collab with Alc or Madlib or some shyt and gather attention for the hip hop nerds.
TT4 was pretty much an Alchemist album:yeshrug:

Yo.. what you know about, goin' out
Head west, red Lex’, TV's all up in the headrest
Try and live it up, ride true, a bigger truck
Piece all glittered up, stick up kid, nikka what?
Jig with a cut, sip Cris, spit it up
Hoes ride, get your nut
'till I can't get it up
I'm a big man, give this man room
I done hit everything,
from Cancun to Grant's tomb
Why you standin on the wall, hand on your balls?
Lighting up drugs, always fightin' in the club
I'm the reason they made the dress code
They figure I wouldn't wild
when I'm in my fresh clothes
Dress as I suppose,
from my neck to my toes
Neck full of gold, baguettes in my Rolls
Wreck shows, collect those extra O's
Buy the E, get a key, to the Lex to hold
East, West, every state,
come on.. bury the hate
Millions, the only thing we in a hurry to make
Whether friend or ex-friend, in a Lex or a Benz
Let's begin, bring this BS to an end

Why even rap these days?:mjlol: Too bad your follower numbers don’t pay. All these guys be thinking they the man when all they got to do is play their position. If you got to do the Filmore, do the Filmore. If you got to do a hole in the wall club, do the hole in the wall club. I like Benny but he need to stop crying
