Folks said he sounded like Andre 3000 and then Tip... Not a fan of tip but there is a huge gap between those two. He's smokin crack with the Dre reference.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is who the hell is Yung Joc? Yung Joc has dropped 1 album with 2 "hits" It's Goin Down and I Know You See It. Joc isn't exactly the last hope of hip hop. He is nothing without a beat.
To his credit Sean Combs has multiple businesses and is always going to do what's most profitable for him.
actually you know the tip he is referring to is T.I. ...people forget about T.I.'s first nation wide albums with "i'm serious" featuring beenie man. he was highlighting since they are all from atl they reference similar things and have a similar southern draw in speech....he was basically admitting that their styles are not the same but outsiders may view as such falsely because of certain similarities that are inherent in being from the same area. he was just being nice and diplomatic about it.
ReplyDeletedon't forget dope buy magic and coffe shop...
this is the music business....don't fault him or puff; that's just the way it is...basically little to no job security.
It's been sometime since Yung Joc put an album out. To hear comparisons to Joc's style against T.I. is a bit inconceivable even though their use of the same greeting phrase are used "What's happenin Shawty". Yung Joc is part of that snap & dance movement started with the south. T.I. isn't. T.I. appeared on the hip-hop scene with a critically acclaimed single at the time no one really took the South serious. Artist like T.I. will never have the problems that Yung Joc will have when it comes to dropping an album because the majors know that they need to place other projects on hault when T.I. is ready to drop, T.I. commands that type of attention not Yung Joc.
ReplyDeleteI know I am not a music connoisseur but yes Trey I know Tip is T.I. "What's Yo Name" off of "I'm Serious" is one of my favorite T.I. tracks. Still it seemed like he was trying to gain some credibility. Honestly T.I. owes his success largely to that of good producers. I bought "King" and it had great beats but T.I. wasn't rapping about anything. I look at T.I. as just on the outside of Hip Hop, he hasn't quite made the transition from rap over to Hip Hop as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeletemy fault....i thought you were a fan of T.I. so i was confused...
