He's finishing what BIG started with Life After Death...
Ross has single handly resurrected "Mafioso" rap...
This is prolly the closest we'll EVER get to seeing what direction BIGs music was to take...
He may not be BIGger than Biggie...
But he's BIGGER than YOU...

Yea that's the dumbest argument to knock Rawse i've heard. He makes music for now? Nobody making 90's music anymore.
Aight gotcha. And Yuku is some doo doo. I could've sworn I made some posts in some threads and now they're gone. Honestly though I don't think we see any of those albums in June. I can see the Roots though because I don't see Def Jam really marketing that album well. Actually I didn't even know they were still with DJ. But I bet it takes a little longer to see a Jeezy and 'Ye album.

ross randomly raps about food, $@#@!%!, drugs, and cars in EVERY verse... he dont really bring !@!#... i dunno what u hearin but its all his beats and hooks... how many memorable ross lines u heard? nobody said cudi himself is gonna be here forever but his album is timeless music... u wont be able to lsten to teflon don in 5 years... it has no meaning... as long as u can actually get something out of music (besides entertainment) it will last... its cool that u dont like cudi but be serious here... my world > miami rap... period

1. What memorable lines has Cudi spit?
2. What about his music is so timeless? What parts of the album were timeless? Please, be specific.
3. How are you going to predict what kind of album Teflon Don will be??? Who estimated The Carter 1 would be an arguable classic? Who knew Blueprint was going to be a classic? Who knew Reasonable Doubt would be a classic? We're just on the FIRST single.
Not sticking up for Ross, but trying to understand the Cudi stuff ...

the carter 1 aint a classic
to make a classic u have to have some sort of lyrical ability or somethin...
cudi's music isnt about lines... its about the message...
if u dont listen to cudi u wont get it...

Cudi has music that's relevant to real people's lives. People are always going to feel like that/go through those emotions. There are more people who feel what Cudi is saying as something that changed their lives by letting them know they're not alone in it. He's more of a regular person than Ross who everybody knows isn't the guy in his raps...but we give him a pass because he makes some dope music.
I like Ross' music...A LOT. But like time said, there's nothing to take from it. You listen and move on. I love Deeper Than Rap but it's nothing I think about while not listening to it.
Just randomly, I think..."I was heavy, heavy, heavy on my girzzle and none of yall had a clue about me" or "At the end of the day, day my Mama told me don't let no one break me. (or "you can't regret it if you were trying")"
Day N Nite will be around longer than any Ross song. Hell, it's lifespan really already outlived anything Ross has done.
It's just $#%% that people go through who aren't obsessed with being "cool" and "tough." Regular guy stuff.
Ross $#%% is ridiculous even by rap standards, really. It just sounds really good.

The hell? Day N Nite will never be played again after this year.
I agree with you about Rawse's music. You listen to it and move on. But that's exactly what I did with Man On the Moon. I listened to it. Moved on. Occasionally i'll listen to a couple of tracks from it like Higher, Soundtrack To My Life and a few others but nothing about his music is timeless. But i'll occasionally listen to a Rawse track as well.
Fact is, in 2010 everyone is making NOW music. Most of this music will be played in 2010 and not longer afterwards.

Day N Nite has been out since 2007. Hit iTunes in Feb. 5th 2008 and the album came out Sept. 2009 and it won't be played after 2010 according to you.

Day N Nite is ONE song...
Ross has 3 albums that have ALL outsold Man On The Moon...
This notion of Day N Nite being around for years and years, who knows, what we do know is Ross is on album #4 with NO signs of slowing down...
His music is gettin better and better...
Who's to say Kid Cudi ever tops or even matches the success of Day N Nite EVER again??
Ross' brand of music is gonna become the standard for rappers over 30...
Its street music, but it has the melodies of the old soul records our parents used to rock to...
Day N Nite is a high schoolers stoner anthem...

I'm not even debating on who's better. I really like Ross actually.
All I'm saying is his music doesn't mean anything and it won't mean anything to anybody in the future.
It's good right now though. Cudi's album means more to more people than any Rick Ross album. You can keep the accolades, I would want that. Guess it just depends on what you're chasing though. I just doubt you'll find people willing to go to bat for Trilla or some ***$. People hold MOTM in high esteem and they'll fight for it because it means something to them. And when you're debating if it's timeless or not, that matters.

Deeper Than Rap >>>>>>> MOTM
Which one of you is the fortune teller that knows for a fact Cudi's music will live on further than Ross'??
I forsee Deeper Than Rap aging VERY well... Teflon Don will more than likely be on a simular level, if not better...
