In a snippet from an interview with XXL, a riled up Raekwon had some interesting things to say: “It’s like in the Vibe magazine, how the **** y’all niggas gonna give me two [stars]? How the **** y’all gonna give me two [stars] and then give [more] to all these country mutha****as, who I feel really don’t get busy like that. That’s not saying that I don’t got a lot of respect for country niggas, ’cause I do got a lot of respect for country niggas, but that **** is bull****, man. Niggas is classifying that **** as hip-hop? Get the **** outta here, man. I ain’t going for that, man. And I ain’t stooping myself down to another level to be some **** that I’m not. And I ain’t got nothing against nobody in the South. This ain’t me going at the South, ’cause I was the first nigga to give OutKast and them niggas a mutha****in’ shot in New York. If you really wanna go back and check your history, at who helped mutha****as’ careers, I was the one that gave Nas his ****in’ shot. Me and my family. We were the dudes that gave all these niggas a shot…Kanye West, all these niggas, and now mutha****as act like they don’t got to pay homage? We gon’ make y’all pay homage with this record.”

is he seriouse? I never met anyone in my life thats actually bouaght his shit. but Id be mad too if I only got 2 stars for an album. but he shouldn't talk shit bout south niggas just cuz they making bread. u grew up were u grew up which means if u in the south....u jamin to south shit...if up north...u jamming to north shit...well actuall u probably still jamming to south shit but anyway...he needs to switch his style. cus if u aint making money but and ur shit aint working...then why the fuck u out here waisting the time and money of all the people around u who wanna see u succeed? thats like spitting in they faces not just the fans who expect good quality shit from u. times change and so do styles. he needs to wake up.

thanks for posting this. he's too aragant for his possition in rap. he aint making Kanye's beats for em and he sure ass hell aint writing nas's rymes for em so he need to relax and make his shit work and stop trying to draw neggative attencion to himself...we all here to make that bread.

i bought his record only biult for cuban linx
but i agree wit him if it wasnt for verbal intercourse nas wouldnt be where he is
cause look ILLmatic sold 300,000 then as it was written sold 2.2 millon

and by the way 90% of the south sucks

he also popularize mafia style rhymes which if im corrected made nas' 96 as it was written a classic

WTF are u stupid ???

HIS POSITION IN RAP ???? ROFL....

you have ANY idea how many ppl jacked their style ??? get tha fuck out..and RAEKWON was like...one of the only ppl to feature w outkast back in the day b4 they were superstars...I remember it well...he's O.G status in the rap game bro... fuck them kids, they need to step the fuck back

"I never met anyone in my life thats actually bouaght his shit"

dude...you can't even spell bought.....so your either 12...and you were to young for Wu-tang when they were big...or....your just a dumbass w bad taste in music...but by saying shit like

"he needs to switch his style. cus if u aint making money but and ur shit aint working..."

it makes that obvious

FUCK THAT.....why is everything always about $$ ??? he's a real MC that don't switch priorities to suit the masses of rich fags that listen to "hip hop" today...

....his "possition" in rap..wtf.......

agrreed

and for those who say he aint sold records

only built for cuban linx-platinum

immobilarity - gold

so shut the fuck up

okay u got ur oppinions...but while lockness and the drunken monks is at home wit a pen and pad carefully jotting down every word Raekwon says like, "oh, that niggas dope", both ya girl friends is out at the club wit a nigga like me dancing dirty to some south shit. and I got 3 wu tang cd's. and yes...he may have made an old ass track with outkast...but how many units did that shit sell compared to the shit they recently made(not the speakerboxx/love below shit, that shit was str8 garbage)

I should appologize for the change his style shit. I worded that wrong. but if it aint about money then why is he so pissed of for getting a bad reveiw if he does it for the love of hip hop. if he wasn't about the money like u put it, then it wouldn't matter as long as the fans are into it. fuck it, the CD should be for damn near free then right. face, when u got a family...things u do for as much fun and love u got for it, it will become about money so they can be comfterbly taken care of. If u like his shit...its kewl, we all listen to different shit...I prefer method man and redmans style and dont like ghost face, Rza, Gza but they still str8. it aint about oh, hes wak or i put him/her/them on the map. wat the fuck does he want all these niggaz he claiming to do for him if he aint holding his own in sales? and stop trying to diss me or the south....that shits too childish for the forum. lets keep it clean and have a str8 debate.

you are so dum its that they dont give him props and and he had one bad album that didnt sell and yes the piont is to sell records but hiphop is also an art form thats something your backstreet boy and Nsync cock loving ass forgot
raekwon is totaly in the right for sayin what he said

i was just listening to raekwon's "OBFCL" album and yes, he did put NAs onto shyt before he was a "known" image... i had forgotten all about that shyt.... and for kats who don't really deal with outsiders like that I can see where he's coming from... he ain't say shyt about money so i don't know where you got that from... he was talking about the respect.... kats is acting like Rae don't go hard... 2 stars?... granted ... that's that one dudes opinion... but if you ask the average kat who actually listens to lyrics and breaks shyt down, you'll see he deserves more credit than what he gets..."only built" equals wu-tang's second biggest selling album next to the first wu-tang collabo album... that dude made a mark in hip-hop history and that fact can't be denied... especially by some dude in a magazine who prolly never heard the album cuz he was too young at da time and "ma-dukes" wouldn't cop it for him...

i listen to south shit... north ... west... mid west... canada... england... even japan...i gives a shyt where dudes is from... if you got skillz i gots love for a nukka... with that said... omma stay true to MY roots and rep that NY shyt to da fullest...

and fuck changing to suit other kats... that's wus wrong with da game now... too many kats sounding alike to "suit" muhfuggaz! i ain't never gon try and fit in... either ya like my shyt or ya don't... but at the end of the day, you WILL respect me... werd

I give him his props. but I dont LISTEN to his MUSIC at ALL. so that automatically makes me wak. no. He gets his respect from other rappers. he should not lash out at them for a review he got from a magazine that no real nigga reads. Vibe is retarted. I havent red nore seen anything with any of the rappers that he mentioned dissing him or even remotely taking away from the respect that he has earned from them. but still...for him to say that dirty south should not be labeled as hip hop...is like him saying that music itself aint hip hop. if its not rap or hip hop then wat the fuck is it...classical? nigga please...thats some hoe shit right there. I listen to niggas like Canibus, Talib Kwali, and others along that range that aint making millions of dollers but work twice as hard. I understand the artform and passion and hard work that is put into it. but not every one is going to like...and lets face it...when majority rules....club shit will always sell more becouse its more radio friendly...
and fuck if I care about spelling every word right. atleast Im actually saying something...all u saying is...oh ur 12 years old and ur stupid...u aint contributing at all so get of me and get on the subject. respect to Reakwon for helping them niggas out and its too bad his review whent down like that but dont take ur hate out on the south for some shit that aint our fault.1

I agree wit I.G. atleast 85%. thats true shit.

i think he was talking more in lines of shyt like laffy taffy... that's gimmick rap and it's sumn most northern emcees see as gimmicky... we (for the most part) try to keep shyt straight up street like we'ven been doing it forever... it's cool to have fun in hip-hop.. but when you start raping the culture there's a problem... love to da south but some of that shyt baffles me

nobody stands behind laffy taffy and d4l only sold like 3 copies...one for each member but yeah. I get wat u saying. if wanna move units. a perfect way to do so is to mix ur style up so that fans can see wat u can do. it aint that hard to be lyrical these days. but onece u spend so much time writing the most lyricall shit ever...its actually hard to tone it down into a level were u can make a club shit wit basic enough rymes and flow to were it comes out just perfect and still sounds lyrical and shit. put luda in almost any beat and he'll destroy it. put canibus in any beat and he'll destroy it but chances are luda will sell more records couse of how he does his shit for the media heads to actually enjoy wit out having to tell every one in the room to be quiet so u can analyze every word he says. it all weird like that.
much props to I.G. for not coming at me wit some childish shit. its a forum...not a battle...

yea...and IG said basicly the SAME THING i did..excpet he said it w out calling you retarded.........cuz he's a nice dude like that....

lol..but yea...ur a tard

Iv said my peace. u getting emotional thinking Im a do the same thing on this thread aint going to happend. sorry cuh.

aiight # 1

glad to hear THAT shyt...lol... my nephew loves them bastards...lol

#2... i'm all about giving a lil variety in my shyt.... you can do that with flow, topics, beat choices, concepts... but i still refuse to dumb down just because the majority says i should... omma still do me when it's all said and done... love it or leave it... i stands by that... my thing is... if you feel in ya heart that what you putting out is speaking for YOU then drop that shyt... too many kats get caught up in writing for "the fans"... the "fans" ain't doing this shyt professionally or on a regular basis so they don't know how taxing that can be... especially when it's only one of you and millions of them... how you gon cater to THAT?!!!!

#3... agreed... but every song don't have to be complex to be lyrical... there's a difference and i think that's where a lot of kats get it twisted... take nas and jay-z for instance... them dudes go hard on a regular basis and are lyrical as all get out without dropping a canibus styled Poet Lauriette, nah mean?
no need for astronomical wordplay and shyt we don't use in everyday language... it's all in HOW you say it...

#4... agreed... Canibus is a true LYRICIST... by this, i mean, his main focus is lyrics and doing shyt out of the norm... noone spits like 'Bus... He has his following... Luda has his... Luda appeals to more people cuz he understands the mainstream and that's who he wants to cater to... remember, he was also a DJ before he started rapping so he knows the system and how to work it.... Canibus is straight underground... but with that said... Canibus does have the ability to drop mainstream shyt..... IF HE CHOOSES!!! ... Check one of his newest joints called I'm So Into You... shyt is derrty, has a commercial feel .. but yet it's still canibus... Canibus appeals more to kats who are into lyrics... Luda appeals more to kats who are into partying... there's two different audiences, two different styles altogether, and two dudes with two diferent focuses... ya can't compare them in the same category just because they they both rap

at the end of the day, Canibus still gets his dough, and Luda gets his... just comes from different sources... and remember this... Canibus went indie... so he keeps da majority of his dough while all these mainstream kats are shelling out duckets to everyone and they mommas... break all that shyt down and they prolly make the same amount of due if ya go by record sales alone6

ya really should... especially since you made a thread about him... your opinions are already one-sided by stating that...cop immobilarity.... slept on album... Rae may not be the best but his shyt is true hip-hop and he stays loyal to what got him where he is in da game today

Dude who made this thread needs to get his jaw broke.............

Raekwon and any member of Wutang got mad clout over any 2 bit fake pop star from the south.........

And hes fucking right......Cunts need to pay their respect....

There aint NO fucking rapper from the south that could reach wutangs level...

TRY and tell me different you shit mother fucker...

Hey Look Yall Fuckers So Personal Hell Juvenile Started That Bling Bling Thing And Every Ass In The Game Bit The Saying Feel Me And Ludachris Is Straight Ill As Hell And Lil Is Crunk With Funk Come On New York The South Has Contribute To Hip Hop As Well

Raekwons album was dissapointing.

Give It To Wu-tang 36 Chambers Was One Of The Illest Albums Ever Made And Raekwon Incarcerated Scarfaces Was One Of The Illest Rap Songs But Verbal Intercourse Kinda Pissed Me Off Because They Were Dogging Tupac In Jail On That One For Real But It Was Funny Doe

Wow......but yeah...South Industry wise is wack as fuck.....it brings tears to my eyes to see Young Joc, D4L, Dem Franchise boys, who most likely made a two bit rap to cop some pussy at they school be in the industry... And nobody better doubt the south Lyracist, Feild mob=Dope ass lyracist that also can make you laugh, Ludicris=He alright but he is starting to sound like he bit his style, T.I.=Not all that of a lyracist but he is real in the streets, Koopsta Nicca=got one of the most unique styles and still spit fiya time threw time, Project Pat=One of them reall Goonie ass niggas that got his own style, Pat can really spit so dont down that nigga, and then there is T-Rock= Best rapper in the south period, no question if ands or buts about dude, he possibely the best lyracists, if not, one of the best lyracist to ever grace a mic in our time. And Im saying that listening to Wu-Tang,Immortal Technique, Old Em,Ghost Face, Rakim, Nas, jazz,A-z,ect. but i do still feel like that did to Raekwon dirty on that shit. Basicly i dont think they should even have their CD's up in them Popstar magazines, Dem niggas that kick it lyricaly just need their own magazine. MC's can't ever possibely hope to compete with rappers in industry popstar magazines. It's like trying to compare a Baseball player to a basketball player...it dosent make since.

Oh yeah....pick up T-Rock's "Da Cushe 2006" that shit is guareenteed to be a classik as of all his CD's

2pac was the first person to ever say bling bling...juvenile bit it from him...

cash money has a long history of biting shit from 2pac...look it up...

yo i live in tha south , and i hate listenin to tha radio.........shit is wack down here......i only respect Lil Wayne, Luda, T.I., Outkast, the rest is pure garbage...for example shit like Dem Franchise Boys, D4L, Paul Wall,.........all that crunk shit is tha same that's why peeps in NY neva play that shit..........

my 2 centz....
