Waddup,
My question is, Do heads really put out recycled verses on albums? I noticed some of the threads say "no recycled verses". So heads really do that shit?

reason i ask is, i have never heard of that shit other then when heads make remade tracks of 2pac or biggie

I guess the 'art' in artist ain't important no more. Shit. Is cats too broke to buy more paper to write on? This recycled verse shit is annoying. If any of us want to be taken seriously, or get signed to majors, then we should have enough material for a NEW album. Everyone hated clip-show episodes of TV shows...Who the fuck wants to buy a record like that? THEN, artist have the audacity to ask for support? The audacity to ask for money for something the fans already bought?? 'Oh, look, a new beat. That'll give the words new meaning.' Shits pathetic. Keep writing or quit.

That's what it's starting to look like. Lazy lazy lazy. Comfort kills creativity, people. Don't think for a second that your verse is hot enough to force feed your audience with it twice. If its that sicc, then they can restart the song. C'mon, these are the people that support you. You gonna slap em in the face and ask them to pay you for it?

Heard a couple Jacka verses on different songs, the one that I can remember most has the lines "The only difference between me and you, is a white bus with cages in side"

My opinion,
If you know a comp or album has recycled shit, why do you still cop it. Like i understand if it is someone who passed like Biggie or Mac Dre or something like that. But heads who are still alive and well shouldn't be doing that. every head here has a favorite emcee they support, but i feel you should do your part in making sure the next album should be some new and fresh shit, if it isn't new why still cop?? you feel me?
