Also bold words from a guy who stole the beat for the song that originally got him the most attention and told everyone he produced it
Jpegmafias career is a waste of beats. Not a single memorable line from this guy. Nick Cannon raps better than jpegmafia
No
He paid the original producer royalties for a couple months, Then ghosted him and stopped paying
Then did multiple interviews saying he made the beat. Even came up with a story about how ice cube inspired him to sample the odb vocals
Then went on stage and told the original producer to kill himself for being vocal about it
And it’s relevant in this thread because he’s literally doing an interview “calling out” a bunch of people and saying they aren’t original or creative like him
Long time earl fan. He was my favorite rapper for a few years and SRS is one of my favorite albums period.
That said he began to stagnate creatively after that album. He regressed back to the lazy monotone flow and the production is not what it used to be. His best s*** can only be heard live and the music he chooses to release is just okay
ironically this is how i feel about idls and everything after that outside of the pre-sds loosies
"For the last 20 years" isn't fair lol. Earl hasn't even been in the game 20 years. I do think he's been kind of directionless since Feet of Clay though.
Alchemist is obviously not making the same beats he made in 2005 either. If anything that's a negative though, his style has regressed and become narrower. He's not giving these Griselda rappers a beat like Wet Wipes or You Ain't Got Nothin'
Yeah it's a shame tbh but how does one even make an album better than SRS.
I'm content with that being his opus.
I also agree SRS is Earls best album.
Classics on classics and I dont think he can ever beat that feel of it
can this guy stick to beefing twitter users(and losing) and stop talking about other artists
What made him say this? The last songs they released together + Voir Dire came out in 2023
I like JPEG's music and think he's one of the more innovative artists out rn but his antics are getting kinda annoying
That said, I only genuinely like one alc beat for every 100 beats

He gives them heaters tho

I wouldnt go that far but I respect it, for me the reason why he'll never enter a Dilla echelon is because his ratio of stuff thats just cool vs actual classic beats is too high if that makes sense

His hit rate especially when you compare him to other legends like DJ Premier doesn't really stack up
funny thing that jpeg is trying so hard but if you dont know his discography very well most of the songs are kinda similiar and annoying
