A, Nas isn't Cam. There are things Cam can get away with that Nas can't. Imagine Nas rapping about computers putin. People would all say he's lost it. Similarly, Cam has a way of saying really misogynistic stuff like "dick on her nose, now she's cockeyed" without sounding like a perv. (Though you probably think he sounds like a gay guy who's overcompensating. Perhaps.) B, Cam has too little class to talk about Marvin Gaye coming out the speaker. He'd just stick with the urethra. Thereby avoiding the weird juxtaposition of anatomical descriptions of head and Marvin Gaye appreciation. C, Cam isn't gross like that. He has never talked about women eating his shit. Or "the night I drank my own urine, my own semen, with a .9 to my brain, but wait a sec, give me time to explain." I think if Cam did talk about urethras and shit-eating and drinking his urine I wouldn't like him as much.Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495408546806192092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672551757871310685.post-73322561141107721282008-12-03T13:33:00.000-08:002008-12-03T13:33:00.000-08:00I agree with Jesus on this one.

I feel the same way about "Dr. Knockboot." <BR/><BR/>Actually, this will probably expose both of our biases, Tray but if that song were coming from Cam'ron, I have a feeling that you would probably dig it.

That's all. Not like there's any man out there going Beyonce got lucky by bagging Jay. Even if Beyonce was a starbucks employee, dudes would be like - jay, you lucky bastard.<BR/><BR/>I liked "You don't know my name" too, and she's arguably more of an original voice compared to beyonce, but i remember all of beyonce's singles, whereas alicia keys keeps treading further and further into forgetabble territory with every release.

I give her no props for bagging that. Surely the more respectable thing to do would've been to find some trophy model. Like would you respect a male billionaire for bagging Oprah? What's the point? Alicia, I mean, she's decent. All her stuff has its flaws, even something really great like You Don't Know My Name, lyrically she can be pretty trite, most of her songs run out of ideas halfway in, is she really much more than a pallid copy of the stuff she imitates, etc. but I think she's headed in a sound enough direction. Whereas B has never done anything for me musically, and what she's actually saying makes me cringe more often than not.Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495408546806192092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672551757871310685.post-40887643887519807342008-12-02T16:18:00.000-08:002008-12-02T16:18:00.000-08:00"She's a video model/jingle singer for Circuit Cit..."She's a video model/jingle singer for Circuit City."<BR/><BR/>Hey!

Whats the last alicia keys single you heard? Fallin'?<BR/><BR/>In other news, i actually watched the video this time around, and I gotta say, its such a great interview.

If what he's saying is true re: inspiring Rihanna, Coldplay, Beyonce and what-not... why is Beyonce's "Put a Ring on It" better than the entire '808s' album.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, I meant to ask about the 808/909 thing. I read that in a couple reviews, and I KNOW there are a bunch of sounds coming from Ye's album that my 808 replicator on Garageband doesn't have. Makes a lot more sense now.<BR/><BR/>The 808 is pretty much a piece of shit, though.
