10 Years Ago on This Day...

... we were blessed with one of the best hip hop albums of all time.

 

Can't believe that it has been 10 years. I still remember going to the store and getting my copy even though I had the bootleg. This album was worth the purchase.

I thought this was sarcasm for a moment but as you're serious... i got this album for £1 from an addict who'd stolen it from somewhere and i wouldn't have owned it otherwise.

 

Each to their own and all that, it's a decent album but i wouldn't consider it one of the best hip hop albums of all time. I don't know if the overplaying of it had an effect at the time so it may have aged better than i remember.

Forgot most of you guys listen to grime rappers and conscious shit.

 

Let me put it this way:

 

Real Classic album: Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band, Electric Ladyland, Led Zep III, The Black Album, Kind Of Blue.

 

More recently: What's the story morning glory, Nevermind, Elephant etc....

 

Just to name a few (feel free to add)

 

NOWHERE WILL YOU FIND 50 CENT IN A REPUTABLE TOP ALBUM CHART.

lol@"real music" and dead at an Oasis album being considered classic.

 

Maybe some of you guys were 5 or 6. Not pulling the age card but if you were in NYC, you couldn't go 5 minutes w/o a car driving by and hearing 50 Cent on the radio. No other artist since 50 Cent has been able to generate that same buzz. Not even a Lady GaGa or Taylor Swift.

 

Sgt. Peppers, that's possibly the worst album I ever heard. It's up there with Bob Dylan's first album.

 

And LZIII is no classic. Great album but no where near I, II, IV, HOTH or Physical Graffiti.

General consensus.

Yes you are, and that's a bad decision. You've got a year on me, so don't try that bullshit.

 

but if you were in NYC, you couldn't go 5 minutes w/o a car driving by and hearing 50 Cent on the radio. No other artist since 50 Cent has been able to generate that same buzz. Not even a Lady GaGa or Taylor Swift.

 

That's a gross overstatement, and you know it. Having "buzz" in one place doesn't reflect everywhere else. The only people who were listening to it here were the chavs everyone hates.

 

Sgt. Peppers, that's possibly the worst album I ever heard. It's up there with Bob Dylan's first album.

 

Haven't listened to much then, have you?

After seeing you use the word Chav, I see you guys are from the UK.

 

It's understandable

You guys should have been here in NYC during 2003.

 

2XL white Ts, Yankee fitted, saggy jeans, white ups, and Fif on your ipod/cd player. The good ol' days.

Ok, so how about a real modern classic. More to the point, a classic from NYC anno 2002.

And also, LOL@ Sgt Pepper, philistine.

 

I listen to Interpol as well as The Strokes. http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/whoo.png

 

 

But neither those two bands generated the buzz that 50 had. You can dislike his music but you can't diminish that great run he had.

 

The only other time that I can think of an artist being on the radio constantly was Michael Jackson when he died.

Had being the operative of course, he is now a has been, and looking back all these years later it is now blatantly obvious why his career is dead. Simply because he was never that good. I actually now feel ashamed for even liking this 10 years ago....

 

50 cent was pretty much the first modern example of being able to flog a dead horse if a record label just put enough cash into it. And now we have Bieber et al.

 

As for Interpol/The Strokes, they never needed the hype/buzz because they could rely on their own talent. Just look at TOTBL or Is This It, 10-12 years on these are widely regarded as classics and 50 has been consigned to the bargain-bin of history.

So basically, according to your argument any record label could have created their own 50 Cent? http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/rudy.png

 

 

Lets see someone else emulate 50's run.

 

Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying. You caught on fast. More to the point, most labels actually have.

 

Let's start then, Who has been successful in the industry whilst completely lacking in talent? (Please feel free to add if I've missed any)

 

Rihanna

Bieber

One Direction

Lil Wayne

Britney Spears

Most rap artists between 2005-now

Coldplay

 

Need I continue?

 

Each one of these is signed to a major label with a major marketing budget. They could probably record the pope farting into a mic and get it to number 1 on the billboard 200.

This thread is hilarious. Not as funny as this tweet sent out by 50 himself.

Top 5, dead or alive? LMFAO! Disrespecting a lot of rappers who paved the way for people like him, only for people like him to rap about girls, cars and money. Oh yeah and the drugs too, the ones he claims he doesn't do.

 

This album is okay and nothing more.
