The only reason Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era are on the bottom is because it would look weird from a design stand point to put that long of a name above Trinidad. Sometimes you have to think before you lash out. Joey is talented and Pro Era is a great, up-and-coming group, even with the loss of Capital Steez, but sometimes you need to take a step back.

I hope he keeps making music with their own sound and not try to take on a more modern sound. I like Pro Era's production a lot and all of them can rap.

Looks like someone told him off. He's still only 18.

I like it quite a bit, but it's not as great as I thought it would be. I dunno, maybe my expectations were unrealistic, but Adrian Younge production backing Ghostface seemed like the perfect combo. The result is still nice, just not mindblowing.

Whats that? an 18 year old just adjusting to an industry filled with ego and arrogance and posturing had a tantrum because some pre school basic ass rapper got billing ahead of him? What a shock. At least Joey admitted he was acting childish, most of these "grown ass men" in hip hop would never admit acting foolish.

Great stuff here. Lee Bannon is low key amazing, he doesn't get the shine he deserves. Saw him open for BBNG at a smallass BK venue, and he tore the damn roof off.

Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, Red Pill are UGLY HEROES

Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, and Red Pill recently sat down with UHF Cable Access Channel 43 for an interview about their new self-titled group album UGLY HEROES that drops 5/28/13. Hear what the record is about and check the album previews!

An Ugly Hero is considered a myth. Growing up, the heroes we saw in cartoons and movies were perfectly chiseled, intelligent, and had senses none of us possess. An UGLY HERO is the everyday blue collar individual that makes the world go 'round. These are the heroes that work hard all day, everyday to help ensure that the lives around them are taken care of, and do it all without recognition. They wear themselves into the ground and sacrifice vanity for family.

Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, and Red Pill are UGLY HEROES.

After listening to it a few times, I can safely say that I like the album. My only problem with the album is that the production can start to seem very similar after a while. The beats are real dark sounding and shit but you'll start to feel like you are listening to the same beat track after track. Ghost did his thing, though.

John Legend: Kanye hasn't made beats in years, has transitioned into an executive producer/orchestrative role like Quincy Jones.

I mean, we all kinda knew this is where he's headed but hearing it like this is kinda saddening as a fan, even if he is still molding the beats and telling producers what to do.

I saw that. I think what he's saying is kind of a half truth. I mean, most of the time he's overseeing instrumentation, etc.; but I still think he receives a TON of beats from his stable of producers (Hitboy, Bink, etc), and then works on em w/ Mike Dean, throws in a few samples, drums, etc.

But yeah, as far as crafting a beat from the jump I knew that hes moved past that.

I think that's exactly what he's saying, it's just phrased crudely. I still think he's as hands-on as can be and does get his hands dirty with the elements but it is just a tad disappointing.

I like the executive producer kind of role too. One reason why I like Kanye so much is his MO is make the best song period without compromise, and he's pretty successful at it. It's also why Dre is by far and away my other most favourite producer. Put the song before the semantics.

MBDTF has a considerable amount of production credits though and is top 2 though, so this is not the case.

I don't understand why tickets in Canada have to be paid by using an American Express card.

I'm trying to get Under The Influence tickets, go through the whole process to notice that it's American Express only -_-

By the time it stops being AE exclusive, all the good seats gonna be sold out :/

I actually believed that this album would sell poorly, but I guess Cudi numbers will always be Cudi numbers no matter what he does. Thank you, white people.

moving past making beats from scratch should be the goal for any producer really.

i mean what beatsmith wouldnt love to yield the power kanye has?

any artist will fly to hawaii / france on the next flight out, to get a chance for a verse on his album

beat makers line up for a chance to be on his album

also i think it's shortsighted to underestimate the work involved in executive producing, especially when it's someone as hands on as kanye, who is known to completely change the scope or sound of a beat he selects.

countless interviews have confirmed how impressed kanye's collaborators are with his focus and creativity.

collaboration and project management are invaluable skills when making large scale creative arts projects, the absence of said abilities are why many artists will never hit it big, they lack the ability to do anything other than drop 16s

so now he's a producer in the traditional sense instead of the rap sense. what's the problem?
