Raided has been one of my favorite artists for the last 10 or so years... real chop, 10 years.
I've fallowed his career, I've disected his lyrics with a fine toothed comb, and I consider myself to be a loyal fan.
but....
When do you draw the line, and give the lable of "fallen off"? How many bunk albums? How much recycled material? In my opinion: Vengance is Mine was the last fire X dropped. Since then i've heard a few different mix's and comps of his hits and what not, Sac-a-Indo, and a few new cuts hear and there. But for the most part, nothing tight in a few years.
His knew shit is being hyped up pretty hard. Unforgiven 2; the name alone sets a standered. I would hate to say that if this album doesn't live up to it, what would? If this "album of his life" doesn't hack it, would he just chock a loss, sit on his lyrics, wait untill he's free and find a quallity producer?
Raided himself: forever unfuckwitable. That's well known. from his mindstate to his dimeanor. But when it comes to the music industry, I hate to say it, but I think ol' boy hasn't made the best decisions. We all saw Ced fuck over BMR. We all watched Madman/Gangway go under. And i've heard nothing but wack production since the lable has been in his hands.
Haters hold you breath, I understand and apreciate that ol' boy doesnt want wack production, and he does his best from his situation... but if what that means is wasting golden lyrics on trashy Hollis beats, than I'd rather not see them butchered. Why not completely sit on all of it untill it's right?
Loki: thank you for all the hard work, time, and effort you have put into bringing X to us. But by all means, I've heard your albums, and I wouldnt want to hear raided on those beats.
One Drop, E-A-Ski, Tone Capone, Rick Rock, Don Juan, The Neptunes for god sakes... can I get some production, or what?
I guess in short, all I'm saying is that I'd hate for U.2 to flop, because if it does, I don't know how he'll bring it back.
Call me: thank you, as well, for doing all you can to bring X to us, but on the reall... fuck the hype.
