Trophies by O.C. and Apollo Brown got me wondering

[ManBearPig]

first and foremost, i love that album top 5 album of this year.

secondly, I would be the first to tell you that I had no interest in a modern O.C. album before i heard Trophy. I'm not trying shyt on O.C.'s consistency and longevity but i do believe that Apollo Brown sparked fire into O.C. to have to return into the status he was in the mid 90's in this shyt.

Not saying that this shyt would work with all older rappers, but why can't more older rappers trust our new generation of acclaim producers?

like a Ice Cube and DJ Khalil album "even tho Ice Cube and DJ Muggs album would be nice too ... but of course Muggs isnt young"

KRS One with Apollo Brown "tho KRS One might be beat doing work with Buckwild after hearing nineteen ninety now..who is also a older producer"

CL Smooth and 9th Wonder

Rakim and and No I.D. even tho No I.D. isnt young. Rakim himself even said that the youth is what keeps hip hop alive at the hip hop awards show. putting out The Seventh Seal fukk ruin it for the youth.

u know... rappers that didnt completely fell off, why can some of them give it another shot with some of our modern great producers. It would be nice to see if they can still bring it for their fans sake.

I drank too much to comment on the thread seriously...but I applaud the fact that you called that album top 5 this year. As long as officer ricky isn't one of the other four

Sohh are we gonna act like Buckshot and 9th Wonder didn't do this first

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Agreed.

The whole One MC, One Producer Mashup Album always piques my interest. Especially when its a bit random like Killer Mike x El-P, and OC x Apollo Brown

how about MF DOOM and Madlib?

Bumpy Knuckles and Statik Selektah got an album out now

Buckshot isnt O.C. status to me.

 

[SoulController]

while i agree with the sentiment, that album pissed me off like no other

waited years for OC's return, and i get stuck with a producer that cant switch up drums and has no melodies. Apollo is trash, should have used Oddisee if he wanted to sign to that label

 

[The Dust King]

I love when people do that. I had never heard celph titled before but I definitely gave that buckwild album a listen. I liked it, will give it another listen soon.

Buckshot isnt O.C. status to me.

agreed o.c. was m.I.a. for a hot minute.

rarely do I consider an artist m.I.a. as long as they put out 1 song a year but he went years without ANY material.

 

[SoulController]

the Buckwild album was a great concept, that was all old unused beats nothing new

not a Celph Titled fan but he got my money for that

how about MF DOOM and Madlib?

MF Doom wasnt that old in 2004

MF Doom wasnt that old in 2004

he's been in the biz since 1989

i didn't start listening to Apollo until i heard Gas Mask

dat shyt was sick

 

[ManBearPig]

3rd Bass - The Gas Face - YouTube

he been around for a while but that doesnt mean he was old.

he was 33 in 2004

Bow wow been around for a while

I thought this was about veteran artists, not age. Rick Ross and 2 Chainz are both 36, but no one cares when they work with younger producers

it can go either way.



Its just that I never look at MF Doom as this old rapper in 2004.\

i see what u are saying tho
