Jake One - White Van Music (2008)



This album has a frightening amount of quality acts on it

Taster - http://www.zshare.net/audio/18735580eebf18f7/ - The Truth feat. Freeway & Brother Ali

Taster - http://www.zshare.net/audio/1873571753f6f1ec/ - Trap Door feat. MF Doom

[cissepower]

I was reminded of this classic today, featuring one of Kanyes best raps ever (IMO)

dilated peoples - this way

[The Infamous_LFC]

Yeah put that up earlier in the thread

Thought he was quite poor to be honest

[The Infamous_LFC]

Also the Wayne doubters the reason why so many people rate him is because he put out one of the best albums of the year before his last album and has got numerous awards for his mixtapes.

He is now days coked up and on the syrup hardly capable to spit at his top form nowdays but listen to this and say he is a shit rapper. He is one of the best mainstream rappers IMO better than guys like Game and the likes.

His dedication mixtape was voted mixtape of the year and he got album of the year in the same year

This is just the intro,interlude and the outro but is still better than some rappers album material

Here is extracts just from this part of the album only

Fly in:

I remember being young trying to hustle my dough
Trying to tell the old junkies that my crack ain't soap
Trying to tell you fool you chump that my mack ain't broke
You ain't trying to see how far that black backlane go
No call me Pacman you ghosts is blue
I got my red river rubies and my oceans blue
Jewelry usually I'ma hooligan for the money
Yeah I'm eating but I got a tapeworm in my tummy oh
Make harm in the bomb you in public
Hit you with the straight arm no warning nothing
Look it's morning no yawning or nothing
I ain't sleep and I'm up trying to take a nigga lunch
You gon' make a nigga break a nigga fronts
Then shake a nigga shorts and we taking what we want
I'm so 5-0-4 you got to kill me here
If you ever looking for me bitch I will be here
Cash Money is an army navy seal me here
Lot of niggaz ran from it but I'll still be here
No chrome on the continental I'm so fundamental
Crack the phill' crack the roof and roll up the window
And my hood love me they tell me bring it home
Thats why I holla Hollygrove on each and every song
You leaping at a dog a dog wit no bark
Just a bite like an old shark


Carter 2:
All I have in this world is a pistol and a promise
A fist full of dollars, a list full of problems
I'll address them like P.O. Boxes
Yeah I'm from New Orleans, the Creole cockpit
We so out of it, zero tolerance
Gangsta gumbo, I'll serve 'em a pot of it
I'm wealthy, still fuckin wit that block shit
Wet your ass up, head to feet til your sock a drip
Don't strip, you might fall and bust your ass
No snakes at the carter, tell the gardener to cut the grass
I hear 'em but they talking under mass

Fly out:
No preventing the crime, I gotta get it
I'm admitted to the game, true playa, no quittin
There you go shittin on a way a nigga thinkin
Only history I know is Benjamin Franklin
And since the future ain't promised to no one
I live everyday like this is the sure one
Train in the tidal wave, this is the ocean
Stand in the heat, 'til the mother fuckin snow come
And it feels so fuckin good
Throw my dope like a rope, let them tug and pull
No hope for the hopeless, rats and roaches
Runnin cross the porch, in the attic there's a fortune
Come and get it, automatics in motion
We bangin for the bread nigga, even the molded
I got my loaf, I got my toast
Chaperone of the south, I got my coast.


Tell me he isn't a good rapper now . Thats just the intros and stuff

Few other quotes from the album
I ain't never killed nobody I promise
I promise if you try me
you gonna have to rewind this track and make me go back, that nigga go that
That boy will lay flat so flat
That act is what I perform amongst you haters
Got Nina in my palm and I'm masturbating

Ice so bright like heaven on the watch
Yea nigga I done dropped one eleven on the watch
So watch and see what I do
Breeze by you so fast got you sneezing hachoo
They got the shivers 'mayne I got the fever
I got to bring the hood back after Katrina
Weezy F. Baby now the F is for FEMA
Sick nigga bitch I spit that Leukemia
Yea no cure no help
So me so good so hard so felt
Feel me

Steppin out the motherfuckin car they in awe
I'm lookin like a star bitch when you see me make a wish
Holla at ya motherfuckin boy J.R.
Birdman my pa bitch ball bred born rich
Dear Mr. Toilet I'm the shit
Got these other haters pissed cause my toilet paper thick
I know but trip and that forty make a chip
Out a potato head wimp and like ranch I dip
And the hustle was all muscle just strength
When it comes to that weight I don't struggle I just lift
I got my hand on the game yeah I make a grip


Can't be bothered to up anymore listen to C2 the whole album is a quote and download Dedication aswell. If anyone wants the album and the mixtape post on here and I will put it when I come back from work

[Mirra]

Ill have the Lil Wayne mixtape if you dont mind putting it up chief.


Does anybody know whats happened to Crooked I? He was probally along with Ras Kass in being the best I ever heard. But his album never came out when he was on Death Row or fuck all. Im not as into rap as I used to be, but still try to keep up with whats going on.

Yeah I'd agree, much better, the whole feel of the song is much closer to the VMA performance.

Gets much better after the start though

[amir87]

Yeh that songs been in my head for about a week now. Saw them perform it in the vmas

[The Infamous_LFC]

I think TI has just dropped the best album MAINSTREAM wise in the last 3 years this is on The Documentary,Word of mouth,College Dropout and Carter 1 level.

I'm gonna jump back on his cock again (no homo) he deserves the hype like when he broke through hopefully he has stopped that soft shite now.

This is a fucking REAL album lyric and beats wise


EVERYONE download it totally worth it this isn't shite like King and Ti vs TIP

[The Infamous_LFC]

Before you ask Infamous, this is who the fuck they are http://www.myspace.com/theletgocrew and yes, in my opinion if you aint heard this you are missing out 

They seem like chilled type Im gonna stick this on my phone and give it a listen tomorrow on the way to work and college.

Cheers

btw I LOVE B-real but is he going back to his roots or is he doing that rock shite now

[Johnnyboy1973]

btw I LOVE B-real but is he going back to his roots or is he doing that rock shite now

It is being done with Duck Down Records hence it will be big, fat, true, independent hip hop.

12. Every Chance I Get-HARD beat I'm gonna burn this and play it in my car 4/5

JB - thanks for The Let Go tip, fucking loving that album, sounds bang up to date but the spirit is pure 1989 De la Soul.  Grinning like a gibbon all the way through. 

Any links to any of the above - particularly the Murs?
