Welcome to Wednesday!!! If there's one thing that I have a passion for its my theory of the relative quality of rap music. It seems more and more true that the quality of rap music is entirely dependent on how good a beat is. You could take the poorest rapper and put them on a good beat and they would sound great, while you'd need the best rappers to make a bad beat a good song. Lil' Wayne's "Shooter" from the "Carter II" albuum is a shining example of the truth of this theory. Despite Weezy's self proclaimed status of "greatest rapper alive" he couldn't save the song with his rhymes, and JT wannabe Robin Thicke sure didn't help. It seemed like all was lost... until DJ Nick Catchdubs got his hands on it. Catchdubs, producer of Wale's kickass "100 miles and running" mixtape, takes a stinker and makes it real hot shit. As it turns out rap sounds better over nasty bass rather than crap... who knew.
yeah i said it, seriously, cop "100 miles and running"
PPS: Black Lips at Wow Hall in Eugene tonight... go see it.
