For real, I was constantly chuckling or full out laughing the first time I heard Reloaded. Marc knows exactly what he's doing; you think he wants us to really believe he drives a gold Porsche and speaks harmonious at the podium?
It's like as soon as we ban one braindead asshole from the forum another one immediately rises up to take his place. Christ.

what marci does here is no different
Listen, to everyone who is a huge fan of his here, I'm a fan too, his beats/beat choices and flow are nice. Beats Minimal drums on crazy loops, like a less cartoonish take on MF Doom's beat style. Flow like a hybrid of AK Skills, Mic Geronimo, and Scaramanga. I've been trying to defend marciano to no avail with some. But his downside is that he's phonier than almost every other MC I'd place at his level.

Re: Roc Marciano - reloaded preemtive thread
Roc is always dope, he could rap over a sample of pots and pans and still come off as ill.
Re: Roc Marciano - reloaded preemtive thread
The samples on Reloaded are fuckin great. Turning into my favorite album from the past decade really. Marciano is such a dope MC, his flow and the way he strings words and images together are immaculate.

Everyone knows MC's been on fantasy island since the jump. But we have standards here that rise above the typical NO LIMIT cover art from 1999. I think marciano just pushes it too far without enough to warrant it. It tarnishes his shine more IMO, than any diamond heist or voltron shit ever did others.

Idk yo, Hempstead (where Roc's from) seems to be one of the most crime-ridden places in Long Island or even NY for that matter.AVENTUS wrote:FOH.dubs wrote:Are you telling me wu tang dont form like voltron?AVENTUS wrote:True.

Of course Roc isn't everything he raps about, but he does look like the kinda guy who's more accustomed to real actual grimey street life than most other gangsta rappers out there. His verses are also more realistic than say
'I suppose everyone has their own limit, but some things you simply can never stop fighting for.'

Back on this topic, "Jaws" from the Greneberg EP just came on on my shuffle, and oddly enough, he actually says something in line with the above.Versive wrote:At what point, if ever, do the contradictions between a rapper's possible spiritual philosophy and outright glorifications of sex, drugs and violence make it impossible to no longer call him a 5%er, NOIer, etc.?
To what extent do modern urban American Islam's roots excuse criminality and to what effect?
There's a Thun post in here somewhere.

A confidence trick (synonyms include confidence scheme and scam) is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence. A confidence artist (or con artist) is an individual, operating alone or in concert with others, who exploits characteristics of the human psyche such as dishonesty, honesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, naïveté, or greed.
Re: Roc Marciano - reloaded preemtive thread
Saw Roc last night at The Mayan. He killed it. Met him and Alchemist cool dudes. And Blu sucks live, pacing around stage wearing sunglasses rapping like a fool. No stage presence whatsoever. Dav Savage saved him.
