Are similes and punchlines played out in hip hop?
I bought Luda’s new album too because I a a Luda fan. I knew exactly what to expect so I wasn’t disappointed. Luda has always been a consistent rapper who raps in a very “consistent” way. He does have a lot of “punchlines” and does them effectively and not a lot of people can do them. Truthfully I can’t listen to Luda much anymore. I just bought it to support him. I won’t ever buy another one unless something major changes with his music. I so agree with you on T.I., he threw down on “Paper Trail”, it honestly is one of my favorite “late” albums of the year. He had hit after hit and really did a great album. I’m hoping this is the “beginning” of a new T.I. and that his little “stint” in jail won’t “taint” his new beginning in music. His creativity has been sparked and I’d hate to see that spark put out. As far as Papoose, he’s been played out. It seems like almost everyone who ends up with Busta ends up played out. I really don’t have time for the loud azz shout callers anymore, I will
