[Rudi]

Great day of adding new music to my library. Breezy with the new In My Zone 2 shit aint bad. Then Trey releasin #LemmeHoldDatBeat which is straight fire. and now Southern Flame Spitta Vol. 4 juss dropped. I've always been a huge Short Dawg fan, love the dudes flow [no homo]

I'm looking forward to this song more than any other right now. "Lost Ones" will be on J. Cole's album and he's been saving it for years, evidenced by how young he looks in the video there. It's about abortion and the people that have heard this song says it's very, very powerful. Hell, the hook makes me want to hear the entire song if it was Cole or not.

Unfortunately, although he has plans to make this a single sometime, it won't be out till the album's out, so February-March. I need to hear this song though.

Michael Jackson ft. 50 Cent leak off of Michael's posthumous album.

I'm liking it...Fiddy was surprisingly nice.

I think Kanye is a certifiable musical genius. He's up there with some of the greats. I think Lupe's a lyrical musical genius, I think he's underrated, and I'm pretty sure he's retiring soon. He's just got to release LASERS, Food and Liquor 2, and LupEND, I believe.

But Kanye is Kanye. He seems to transcend hip-hop the way Wayne wishes he could. Cudi seems to be his prodigy, but I'm not sure if he'll ever be quite on his level.

GOOD Music > Young Money

It seems to me that Wayne only appeals to the mainstream because of his cornier shit. The bubble-gum pop, fake gangster, ringtone rap. Shit like "Always Strapped." He tried to do the rock thing, but it was forced, and no one I know was impressed.

I liked No Ceilings, honestly, and I liked some songs off of Da Drought 3. Not a fan of Rebirth or I Am Not a Human Being.

Also, one of my boys had his mixtape drop recently: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y8TGX5JL

Wayne and Drake are very talented but neither have(nor will) create a classic hip hop album. Not to much to ask for considering Jay-Z, Kanye, Nas, Eminem, all did it on their first try.

Maybe if Wayne actually focused on 1 CD instead of putting out 100 mixtapes he'd be able to do it.

I agree completely. I feel like he's had his time at the top, and he wasted it all on mixtapes... I'm not a big fan, personally. Not that I don't like anything by him, I'm just not a fan.

I'm worried about Drake. So Far Gone should've been the fucking album. Thank Me Later is weak shit. Either he sold out to the Young Money bullshit (wish is very likely) or he burned-out already (which I certainly hope isn't the case). He had/has a lot of potential.

I've noticed that in Batman Beyond whenever they want you figure out a villain's identity they will use the red herring's voice for the villain when he's masked, which is fucking cheating. That's not even a legitimate swerve.

I still love the series, though.
