If you re-read my post again i hope you would conclude that my hip hop back pack reference are to the albums i have listed(Mighty Quinn, i give you my word and Rock).
Umm No, sir. I understood exactly what you meant. I'll even re-post your comment, sir.
Quinn's all time best albums are from the past...Live n Direct and Hustle continues. He changed his flow and his beat selection is backpack hip hop.....horrible.
Sir, what you are essentially saying here is that he "switched up" and went with a more hip hop b-boy/backpacker styled music which couldn't be any farther from the truth. It's also pretty clear, sir.. that you don't know what "backpack hip hop" is. The beats and his subject matter sound nothing like typical backpack hip hop. I for one, sir would like to know where you are coming up with these conclusions.
BTW Quinn never "switched" his flow,sir . His voice just isn't as deep as it sounded prior to The Mighty Quinn album.
lLOL@songs like Fifteen Chickens, Bound To Ball, and I Love This Game being "backpack"..
You sir, don't seem to "get" that the sound Quinn tends to go for on each of his albums is the sound that is popular in rap music.
Let me explain further, sir. The Mighty Quinn is a reflection of the sound of hip hop (back in 2001) that was popular at the time. The beats and subject matter for the most part reflect that. The same can be said of I Give You My Word which came out when soul samples and producers like Kanye, Just Blaze, and Bink were the go to guys for production. It's a mixture of "mob" type beats and soul production. The same goes for The Rock, sir. Except it has more of a hyphy/southern sound but with a few soul sampled tracks in it, because at the time the hyphy movement was at an all time high. Live N Direct and Hustle Continues... have more of a g-funk/mob sound to them because THAT's what was popular in the mid 90's. That sound is "dated" and he's moved on from it.. get it, sir?
WOW! you SIR are most certainly entitled to your opinion. I dont think many would agree but hey its a free country!
My opinion is gold, sir. And my opinon is that I Give You My Word is a classic album. Anyone saying otherwise is an amatuer that hasn't been listening to rap music let alone bay area hip hop for too long.
Rock was a mixture of backpack and heavy beats
Ahhh I get it now, sir. You're one of those people that think because a song has a Jazz or old school R&B/Soul sample that it's "backpack" or "eastcoast"...
You should be "befuddled" with regards to the album Cant take the Ghetto out because i never referenced it.
Sir, you weren't exactly clear that you WERENT talking about it. You pretty much implied that he "switched his flow and picked backpack hip hop beats" after The Hustle Continues... So I Could only assume that you were referring to all of his previous albums up until The Hustle Cointues, sir.
