i think you forget i am out here and did it for real.

those dudes offer no real content.

plus are not convincing in their subject matter in the manner other trap guys are. plus have outdated technical skills as well.

plus can not craft songs like that.

they offer nothing other than trying to come across as jayz biter clone number 7474747.

i heard jay be good jay and on no day are they good jay biter calibur of emcees.

if you gonna make dope boi trap music be convincing and not wimpy voiced't. then have some actual production that fits the mold. plus have some actual real indepth content. they did neither on that album.

I understand your perspective may be different, but you're not giving them any credit. They sound NOTHING like Jay-Z on that album. Absolutely nothing like him so that comparison makes zero sense. They are not trying to make trap music. That's what you're not understanding. Yes, the subject matter is definitely heavily influenced by street and drug shyt but it's more than that. "Hello New World"? "Nightmares"? This is deeper than trap shyt. I just genuinely think you don't understand what they are trying to get across. They are more unique than any other coke rappers. This is coke rap with a conscience. Simple as that.

when i wanted a coke dealer with a conscious record, at that time that year.

i listened to a banger called dreamin'... that shyt all over this album as a lone song.

sorry,...joe!!

plus hold that thought, money on the floor, swing my door, stick'em up, pandemic, she's a g, she's my mami, cocaine, pat and beanie...etc....
all that shyt was out when this trash was out.

it was not that deal like that,...

just face it,...shyt was huff as fukk and still huff.

let's see,..when that was out,....

why would i turn off hypmotize for that bullshyt,...get real.

:rudy: nikka your criticism of them makes no sense and it's just down right silly. It's a good album. You're entitled to your opinion but just as I suspected: you a Young Jeezy nikka. I get it bruh, Clipse go over your head most of the time so you gotta stick to a basic bar having nikka like Jeezy. I love Jeezy but i literally just died of laughter when you mentioned Dreamin'. I swear EVERY Jeezy fan hates on the Clipse for the worst reasons. Yall nikkas silly man. :pachaha:

Malice's verse on I'm Not You >>>>> come on son, that was 5 years before HHNF and the boy Mal was still destroying shyt on that conscious tip.

Art Barr, few questions:

What do you mean emo? and emo pr? are you referring to the fact that they were emotional over their label situation?

Jay-Z clones, how so?

Do you honestly think the album has no depth? and that young jeezy has more "depth"? Is that honestly what you believe?

Can you explain why you think it is huff without making comparisons to other music?

I think you personally don't like them, and think it was massively overrated by hipster critics (which I'll give you).

Hell Hath No Fury is about the dichotomy of man, it's not even about drugs. Has that been done before? Of course, everything has been done before, no idea is original, however those types of rhymes over neptunes in rare form production is good music, it's great.
