Aftermath Hires New Chef

Hus is dope IMO but that CD was hot garbage bro. You are lying to yourself if you think it was dope. I know we all hate when rappers we like drop crappy and unmastered releases...but it happens.
Anyways, I think it will be interesting to hear Rae over some Dre beats. Dre and RZA on the production should be sick as long as Dre brings his A game. I'm not a huge fan of Wu-Tang (except for Enter the Wu-Tang which is one of the best hip hop albums ever IMO) but this should be interesting to say the least.

To each his own. I'm the exact opposite of you bro, I hear the music first, then lyrics.
The music is just so much more important to me than the lyrics, but thats just my personal preference. Me, I'm a sucker for melodies, if I can sit back and vibe to something musically, even if the lyrics aren't monumental, I can still enjoy it.
Even if an Emcee is spitting the hottest bars on the planet, if the music isn't there to draw me in, I lose interest in hearing what he has to say all together.
Music is more of a feeling to me than anything else, and honestly, a lot of the time when I'm listening to music, I get so caught up into the music and the vibe of it, that I miss out on what is being said on the track.
So I wouldn't call it pointless to buy an album with production being the most important factor, its just preference.
Just look at an artist like Ras Kass or Canibus...all the talent in the world, and everything you could ask for in an Emcee...
All except for one thing....an ear for picking great beats.
Just my .02
As for this album, it should be dope...but then again...Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is a really tough act to follow, even with Dre behind you.
SO what constitutes an album to be "dope" then???Anyone can make a beat you can nod your head to....
So youre tellin me...if Kobe Soz or Nump just had a song that was the best production you have ever heard....but it was the worst attempt at "MC'n" youever witnessed...you would still play it??
Rap fans these days....i must be getting old....

^ I see where you are going with this...
But, I wouldn't say that lyrics aren't a factor, I would just say that they are not as important to me. Like I said, the beat/music is what draws me in...
Thats just me.
Does that make me any less of a Hip Hop fan than someone who prefers lyrics over beats ?
Part of the music to me is the way the Emcee rides the beat, or his flow...I prefer melodies and rythym, and I would consider that part of the 'music' aspect of it.
For example, I don't think 50 Cent is a great lyricyst, but I think he has great flow, and is very melodically inclined in the way he delivers his lyrics.

That only built for cuban Links album is tha first shit that really made me start listening to east coast music. Before I got tha purple tape, you couldnt pay me to listen to New York rap. I only slapped bay shit, Snoop & Pac. But I opened up to tha east after hearing that. I cant wait to hear that album. I hope Ghostface gets on one of them Dre beats with him.
Same here. Music/beats are just as important as lyrics. You can have beats without lyrics....see both of Dre's solo's. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That's why its called an opinion and not a fact. There are only a handful of artists I can listen to even if the beat is crap and even still I find myself thinking why am I listening to this.
I found myself thinking the same thing after hearing the Get Rich or Die Trying ST. I dont think 50 is a great lyricists, but I feel the same as you do, he flows with the music.
