Rhymefest
Biography
The Chicago, IL-based Rhymefest first gained national attention as the co-songwriter of Kanye West's Grammy-winning "Jesus Walks." His association with West actually went back several years prior; the MC's independently released Raw Dawg, issued in 2001, was produced entirely by a pre-fame West. Later signed to Mark Ronson's J-distributed Allido label, Rhymefest put together Blue Collar for a March 2006 release date. Its first single, "Brand New," also featured production work from West, as well as extensive assistance from No I.D. (Common, G-Unit). ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
Selected Discography
Because it is Rhymefest's mix of Citizen Cope's Bullet and a Target, don't worry it threw me for a loop the first time too.

actually many rapa's will use other artists beats to do what they do and throw down some good music that flows so all ya'll need to listen to more rap to learn more
|
||
rhymefest is from Indianapolis , IN....not chicago! the chi can have him tho because hes not hot. I loved brand new but i just wish people would quit frontin about the city that youre from like that changes the quality of your music somehow
|
||
Jc is right citizen cope did that song on the clarence greenwood recordings, dracun3 listen to music other than rap, it will make you more intelligent.
|
||
I swear that beat from Bullet is from Citizen Cope... actually so is the chorus....
|
||
This Bullet song is crazy. Finally we might be getting back to the real life s**t.
|
||
Chicago has pound for pound some of the best lyricists to ever touch a mic...From the early days of Twista, Common, Crucial Conflict,Do or Die, PyschoDrama and the Brat to Kanye, Lupe and now cats like Rhymefest, the Chi aint lacking in capable emcees with lyrics...

Ummm, Mr. Mark? Maybe you should listen to "Bullet" before, you know, trying to sound like you know what you're talking about it.
|

This is a GREAT album. If you don't already have it. Get it. Trust me you won't be disappointed . The only blemish I can think of is his version of a club song "Put it on my stick" (or something like that) and "Chica-Goril l l a z " . Other than that...it's perfect. "Bullet" should have gotten a grammy.

So who produced Blue Collar? Devil's Pie has a REALLY clean beat.
|
||
realy? i thought he sounded more like common... thats who i thought it was before i looked at the artist
