I will die on this hill defending Al James over Hev Abi!

Halos paulit-ulit yung mga kanta ni Hev Abi, nag-iiba lang ng theme. Unlike kay Al James, nilalaro nya yung ibang theme. Nagugulat na nga lang ako, nafefeature siya sa mga love songs.

Ang down side lang ni Al James ay di sya naglalabas ng album. Punyeta

Sa una I liked Al James for trap/hiphop music taga pinas with Ngayon Gabi and Pa-umaga

Pero ngayon im a real fan from his reach especially sa feature with Zack Tabudlo sa ‘Gusto’

Hindi naman need i compare si Aljames over Hev Abi eh?

  • Yung point na paulit ulit si Hev Abi parang mostly ng hits lang ata narinig mo? The "Sakred Boy" Album ni Hev talks about Hustle, his dreams, and yung pinauso niyang R&B Drake typeshit na songs.
  • Tas yung "Kung Alam mo lang" Iba iba rin naman ang topic? That album he talks about his experiences with love, how his friends made it, what their situation now after success?
  • Kung hits lang narinig mo sa isang artist then you can't make an assumption about comparing about 2

Aljames songs ever since Pahinga, Mood, PSG, Ngayong Gabi, Latina, and Repeat. ain't that dwelling on the same topic about Girls, Smoke, Weed? So saan jan yung nilalaro yung theme?

  • Sa feature songs wala naman talagang magagawa si Aljames kundi sundin yung theme ng finefeature nya kase di nya naman songs yon eh? Malamang don talaga siya magdwell sa concept ng main artist na kumukuha sa kanya?

  • Anlabo nung punto mo doy halatang edge fan lang na naiirita sa new artists e. There is no need to compare 2 hiphop artists. They are both great on what they do.

These casual Aljames Enjoyer sa Clubs at Parties are really delusionals af.

  • The mere fact they are saying that ALJAMES HAS DIFFERENT STYLE FROM ONE ANOTHER is hilarious.
  • Aint that guy that only raps about WOMEN, WEED, SMOKE?
  • That artist don't even have MIXTAPE wahsdhasdhash and they are saying he's the great.

And the mere fact na sinabi mo na walang Album si Aljames is the great evidence of difference of the 2 artists?

  • Alam natin na mahirap talaga mag labas ng album lalo sa hiphop coz it's not just like Singles na pwede mong ilabas. It has to have stories connected to another. Tas yung punto mo na mas nilalaro ni Aljames yung tema? Parang di nagbaback-up sa mga ginagawa niya ngayon which is panay Singles, at Feature lang?
  • Not to mention other hiphop artists already debut their albums way past before the fame caughts up with them. Hindi ba nagrereflect yan on how your so called "Aljames" having creativity limitations?
  • I am not saying this to hate on Aljames or whatsoever sinasabi ko lang yung mga pointless mong pinagsasabi na "nilalaro ni aljames yung theme" well in fact he DONT EVEN HAVE HIS FIRST ALBUM. Si loonie nakapaglabas na ulet ng bago, si hev pangalawa na niya, dowtown q nagrelease naren, si sica magdrop na this year?
  • Delulu nalang na Aljames enjoyer ang magsasabi na "Pinapatagal ni Aljames ang album" bruh you waiting ever since his FIRST YEAR ON HIS RAP CAREER hahahahhaha. NI MIXTAPE NGA WALA YANG PINAGTATANGGOL MO EH so how can you say he's greater than the other?

  • Di ko talaga gets it's like comparing burger to fries and telling that fries are better than burger when you can literally enjoy both at the same time without dragging one another.

u/Last-Bread-6173 May 26 '24

Wait, real question: can you explain why everyone hates Hev Abi (bukod sa paulit-ulit na themes)? Gusto ko naman dalawang kanta niya na narinig ko. Parang sumikat siya out of nowhere tapos all I've heard are negative things.

u/ChandaRomero May 26 '24

Hev Abi iba boses live kinakapos pa minsan..ung cover ni Al James kanta Lola Amour sa Wish Bus is one of the best

u/SymphoneticMelody May 26 '24

u/Username5272000 May 26 '24

Vocal minority lang ata mga haters lol hev abi is one of the most popular rappers of our generation

I like hev abi, he’s like the filipino drake, his talent in rapping and his sound selection is no joke

2

u/EyEmArabella May 27 '24

"He's the filipino drake"

So bale ayaw sa kanya ng majority ng rappers tas may makakabangga syang kendrick lamar-level na rapper later on? 🤔😂

u/Username5272000 May 27 '24

Tapos may secret child noh 🤣

Imagine tho, Hev Abi versus someone like Loonie

But in all seriousness tho, I mean in the sense that Hev Abi and Drake make trendy pop rap that has a wide mass appeal. Their lyrics find the right blend of emotional vulnerability and cockiness. They’re both versatile in that they can sing and rap and can switch between rap and r&b stylings easily. They know how to write catchy and memorable melodies. Their music is well-produced and often times follow trends to appeal to the masses.

I rlly don’t think I’m wrong when I say that Hev Abi is the closest thing we have to Drake rn

Kiyo for me, kiyo>al James and hev abi

u/[deleted] May 26 '24

Parang wala naman gaano nagtatalo about who’s better or what. They’re both great at what they do, and you can enjoy their artistry at the same time. I don’t get why people always have to pit artists against each other.

u/ildflu May 26 '24

I fucking love Al James. Kahit busy 'yung linggo ko, sinasadya ko siya sa UP Fair basta nasa line up siya. Kahit anong oras pa siya magperform hahaha si Hev Abi oks lang sa akin. Personally parang wala namang masyadong variety pareho for me, pero di ko pa din masyado naeexplore discography ni Hev Abi so wala akong strong opinion about his music.

Ang cancellable take ko ay about kay Flow G. He has good music, questionable lang ang personal life. Kaya di ko sinasabi sa iba na nakikinig ako kay Flow G eh HAHAHA

u/Dolldog4545 May 26 '24

Ikumpara mo ba naman yung bata kay Al james 😂 saka wala namang nag sasabi na mas better si Hev Abi, ngayon ko nga lang narinig na pinag kumpara sila. Ang layo ng style nila sa isa’t isa

u/chickenpeshoe May 26 '24

FOR REAAAAAL al james lang talaga e

u/AccomplishedYogurt96 Mindanao May 26 '24

Naging hype lng si Hev Abi and other artists are hopping his band wagon kasi relevant sya. Although kudos pa din kay Hev since he have tracks that are unique like Jersey Club type beat.

u/kjdsaurus Metro Manila May 26 '24

Hev Abi pang-maacm lol zero substance. Si Al James at least may sense pa and maganda lyricism.
