I wish there was 1/100th of this community outcry when rappers rap about carrying weapons, smuggling drugs and general violence.

Surely you see the difference between song lyrics and an actual death.

My week isn't complete without an episode of Joe, Mal and Rory giving commentary on the world. What a fucking episode this was

True dat, sick voice, probably the best in the game, but his solo work outside of J5 is absolute trash IMO.

 

[wera]

got good features, but yeah, I'm not into his solo work

He has some good songs, Coming Thru, International but mostly u are correct his songs are bad, the hooks dont match and the beats are trash. He needs to make an album with 1 producer like a Large Professor or Alchemist with little to no hooks or maybe sampled hooks or a female signing the hooks.

or somebody should just remix his stuff like this

Just stumbled across this INSANE must watch for all the WU fans.
ODB s son is killing it voice and movement so much like ODB.

As much as ODB was my fav, this shit is played out to me. His whole shtick was that he is unique, the kid acting like his father doesn't feel right in his legacy. Also ODB was built like a tank.

I would agree with you if it was any rapper imitating ODB but since it s his son i dont see any problems with it also it was on a WU record so yeah...
Plus as far as physique goes imho their built very similarly so not sure what you are getting at.
Also not sure how much is imitation his voice is just very similar and i wont blame him for copying his dads style.
Also ODB is probably the hardest rapper to imitate with his sing sang and at times very weird cadence.
So i think most MC s would not even come close if they tried.

From what i have seen they both look a lot a like and sound a like as well, not to mention other Wu members all say that he is a copy of his dad so i see why they include him. Wether he is acting or not is a different issue but regardless thats his son lol

 

[wera]

As a member of wutangcorp, I can tell you I have seen enough videos to call him a fraud, basically. Wu keep cheering him on, because it wouldn't look good to say a bad thing about odbs son

Odb was huuuge after 96

I still dont get what base your fraud argument is based on? I mean even if he talks normally he does sound like his dad.
I ll give you that he does not have to copy the appearance of his dad and neither does he have to copy his rapping style which he kind of does. That being said i always looked at it more like a tribute from son to dad rather than a copy cat/ fraud.

Maybe it also comes from me being a huge ODB fan back in the day and getting to see his son rap just makes me reminisce.

Listened to Joeys 1999 album 4 days ago once again. I LOVE this album and this is my favorite song. You guys probably know it anyway, but still... fenomenal song. Enjoy.

Meh, ODB, as much as I love him, was a fraud rapper himself. He didn't write a line of his lyrics. His only redeeming quality was that he was pretty much insane so likeable.

Thats an exaggeration!! While he did not write all of them as confirmed by meth saying odb stole a lot of rza and gza lines for his debut album in the same interview meth also says he did write brooklyn zoo though.

 

[wera]

I don't know, he makes me cringe. I wish I could like him. After all, Big Pun's son is kinda similar to his father too, but he's ill on the mic.
