Pretty sure he will. He has done a few European tours.

Someone needs to mix the Wayne/Tech/Andre 3000/Bun B/Nas/Busta parts ASAP (leave Shyne out of it)

http://hulkshare.com/j7t87034t0dd

:yes:

[Dubya]

http://hulkshare.com/j7t87034t0dd

:yes:

Well done sir. :beer:

[Fro]

Other than the awful T-Pain track, I'm definitely liking Tha Carter IV.

[Dubya]

Definitely agree about that. I like some tracks more than others, but I like them all .. except that track. It really is pretty bad.

[Bert]

Well done sir. :beer:

Shytty Shyne is still in it. :mad:

I made a Shyt Free version though. I also included the intro and took out that stupid hear-it-first tag. :cool:

Shyne started talking as Nas finishes his verse though so it stops at "we ain't really got time to respond" and then Busta's verse starts. :$

http://www.mediafire.com/?mc41z3gm3919mty

[Dubya]

Still a quality effort, Bert.

good job. :yes:

[Stringer Bell]

Is there any way you could maybe do the exact same thing Bert, but go ahead and leave Shyne in? I know I initially said someone should take Shyne out, but I'd just rather have all the verses/lyrics on the copy I keep. Thanks either way.

NoYork! is fucking fantastic. Superb production all round. Sounding FRESH. Blu is a hip-hop visionary and genius. A God amongst men. Another tip top hip hop reccud up there with the best 2011 has had to offer. A++++

Tha Carter IV is bleh...

[Chris Scott]

Nah not feeling Games new album first time of listening.

[Eddie Colon]

I have to say I re-listened to Legendary Weapons and its a pretty great album. Everyone was on point and there were no bad songs.

[Stringer Bell]

Game's album gets better after a few runs. I like it more than Carter 4 personally.

NoYork is better than both.

[I steal cable]

Pretty sure he will. He has done a few European tours.

aye, but hasn't come to the UK in a long time from what I can see

the last European tour he did I considered going to Germany to go watch him and making a holiday out of it

[Stringer Bell]

Nardwuar's great. I went through a phase earlier this year where I would get high and watch like 20 of his interviews at a time. I love the Nas one. Nard's enthusiasm and work ethic is second to none, and it's a shame he isn't more well known/respected in the US because he is really one of the greatest music journalists of all time. The man is a genius.

Nardwuar vs. Nas - The Extended Version - YouTube

Speaking of Nas, he absolutely devours and proceeds to shit out that Carter 4 Outro. Even with capable guys like Bun B and Busta on the track, the difference in ability is glaring. I've played that verse back so many times.

[QuietStorm]

Come to the U.S. and go to the Pontiac show with us lol. My girlfriend is heartbroken that they ran out of the necklaces for the presale. Kind of shocking that only 175 were made. Hopefully he does up another batch.

I love how Pharrell was so enthusiastic and became obsessed with Nardwuar, contacted Jay-z to do an interview, and then when that interview finally happened Jay-z somehow managed to take the life right out of every question.

Jay Z and Nas both came off as dicks. Tech n9ne, Drake and Weezy were great though.

Nas definitely got kinda shitty there at the end. I thought his reaction to the "Ether" question was stupid, saying something about Nardwuar disrespecting him. Didn't you record the fucking song, Nasir? Still a good interview though, the guy Nard never backs down.

[Stringer Bell]

Guys, Nardwuar just "doot dola doot doo...."'d me on Facebook. I'm honored.

Louisiana native and certified Gold recording artist, Young Bleed, returns to the scene with his latest album PRESERVED. Picking up where My Balls & My Word left off, PRESERVED is Young Bleed’s first album under the Strange Music umbrella and the first release on the highly-anticipated Strange Lane imprint.

First introduced to the rap world via Master P’s Platinum-selling soundtrack, I’m Bout It, Young Bleed returns with PRESERVED. With tracks like “How Ya Do Dat” and “Boot Up”, PRESERVED is on track to redefine Southern Hip Hop – features like Strange Music artists Tech N9ne and Brotha Lynch Hung, along with fellow Louisiana native, Juvenile, stand as a testament to how diverse Young Bleed can be without straying too far from his roots.

Young Bleed makes a statement with an album that’s meant to be PRESERVED.

[Dubya]

One of my friends at work was telling me about this guy the other day. I might check it out.

[G-Fresh]

Welcome to Strangeland is supposed to be released November 8th. I haven't liked any of his collabo albums so I have no expections for this one either.

[Stringer Bell]

One of my friends at work was telling me about this guy the other day. I might check it out.

You guys talk about obscure No Limit artists at your job?

My Balls & My Word was a good album

[G-Fresh]

He will gain a lot more fans being with Strange. The fans and artists of Psychopathic, Suburban Noize, PLR, & Strange support each other for the most part and are very loyal. I'd go as far to say that them 4 labels and their sub-labels are the most successful independent labels in the US. Probably the world.

The artist formerly known as Mos Def:


In an interview with MTV this past weekend at Rock The Bells, the rapper announced that he is retiring the "Mos Def" moniker at the end of this year. And in 2012, he will henceforth be known as Yasiin, which is apparently his first name.

Yasiin explained that he'll no longer be using Mos Def because even though he's "done quite a bit" with that name, he feels that "it's time to expand and move on." He also doesn't want to have to deal with using a "moniker" anymore, which could be a sign of maturity on his part as an artist. It certainly makes sense and it'll be interesting to see if it sticks.

How about another Black Star album Yasiin?

[Eddie Colon]

Wayne moved 964,000. Even though the album wasn't that good this is still great for hiphop. It's the best opening week since taylor swift (Gaga selling her shit for 99 cents doesn't count).

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/donald-glovers-hip-hop-act-childish-gambino-signs-to-glassnote-20110906


With his hip-hop act Childish Gambino, Donald Glover – best known for his role as Troy on NBC's hit comedy Community – is giving his acting career a run for its money. He's just signed a deal with indie label Glassnote, home to Mumford & Sons and Phoenix, and is getting ready to release his debut album, Camp (tentatively set for November 1st).

Glover probably also scored some points with one track in particular that gives a shout out to Mumford & Sons. "I definitely reference them in this one song," he says. "We all know each other, it’s kind of cool. It’s like a family."

But, I want it now. :cry:

Also, I love Mumford & Sons. :heart:

Canibus - O Fortuna Infinity - YouTube

Rumor started by Canibus himself on Facebook that Rip the Jacker 2 is going to be released this month.

[Fro]

I dunno if that's one of his "make your own Canibus song" things or what, but I find that very hard to listen to because it flows so terribly over O Fortuna.

[I steal cable]

Come to the U.S. and go to the Pontiac show with us lol. My girlfriend is heartbroken that they ran out of the necklaces for the presale. Kind of shocking that only 175 were made. Hopefully he does up another batch.

I bought my package when he announced he'd have 15 more necklaces available at 4 p.m. the Friday before last. Those sold in about a minute. He announced today that shipping has gotten way backed up because of the two-man Fake Four crew running things.

The album is outstanding. His best work yet in my opinion. Glad he is finally getting the recognition.

Canibus - O Fortuna Infinity - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6_jgrY84EA&feature=related)

Rumor started by Canibus himself on Facebook that Rip the Jacker 2 is going to be released this month.

WHAT :eek:

[QuietStorm]

I doubt it is true, it could be Bis trolling lol. But the last I heard him talking about it, all of the recordings were finished and he was just waiting on some production. It could release this month if he doesn't care about record sales. I'd say next spring might be a better estimate.

I would love to see Stoupe production on there, but he is shifting away from hip hop. But there is also a thought that he has plenty of material in his vault that he could send Canibus' way if he is in a giving mood. Somehow I doubt that will happen though.

Also, how do you call it a Jedi Mind Tricks album without Stoupe?

Eminem - Quitter (Everlast Diss) (lyrics) - YouTube

[Stringer Bell]

Here's Dilated Peoples/Evidence's response from back then, also..

Re: Everlast - Whitey Ford VS. Eminem : Classic Rap Battles - YouTube

Ev's voice has changed so much. He almost sounds younger now. Without a doubt one of my favorite emcees. Just real.

[G-Fresh]

I've seen reports that Dilated Peoples signed a deal with Suburban Noize. Anybody Know whats up?

[Fro]

btw not to nitpick but it's "you ain't ready for no underground beef"

That does make more sense. :yes:

Anyway I've never really been into Dilated other than "This Way" (one of Kanye's best guest spots ever IMO) but I will check this out.

[Stringer Bell]

Also a brand new J-Live album out which is sounding really great. Then the new 9th Wonder album came out today. Also a new one from Cormega. So much good hip-hop lately.

[Stringer Bell]

Hey all. The site I used to PREVIEW RAP ALBUMS BEFORE I BUY THEM (of course) seems to have gone down permanently. It was a pretty well known one so I wouldn't be surprised if some people here were using the same one. Anyway, can someone post a link/direct me to a decent download forum where I don't have to have like 100 posts just to see the links?

[MikeHunt]

just use torrents.

[Simon]

Torrents are only good if you know what you're looking for. The best sites are the ones that not only have all the new CDs you're waiting for but other stuff you didn't know about.

Javed's R&B is good for individual tracks via Hulkshare (don't be fooled by the title, it has hip-hop, dancehall, grime, desi and other types of music as well as R&B).

[MikeHunt]

do you just download random albums? why? there is better ways of discovering new music than downloading random albums.

[Simon]

Not random albums. For example if you have a specific site you go to that hosts hip-hop albums and of the first ten albums, you know and like eight and don't the other two, chances are you might like them as well.

[MikeHunt]

i dont think i would bother downloading stuff i had never heard. not important, just use torrents.

You're quite a lot thicker than I realised.

Well the one I use is great but you do need about 60 posts before they let you into the download section. (Not sure what the actual rule is but I recall it opening up for me around 60).

http://www.studioleaks.info/forums/

[Stringer Bell]

Yeah, Simon's pretty much right about the Torrents. I loved these forums because let's be honest, it's hard to keep track of what every artist is doing. Often times things would pop up that I'd be really interested in and didn't even know were coming out. That's kind of the beauty of leaks, I guess. Also most of the good sites are updated so regularly, you can get the albums literally as soon as they hit.

Thanks for the links guys. I actually have a studioleaks account, I signed up back when that guy was leaking all the Eminem songs and there wasn't a post limit then. But I never really posted, ha. Guess I'll have to bullshit on there for a bit.

would sound like music you hven't heard before?

[RuneEdge]

I dunno why you're finding this so hard to understand.

I totally get what Simon's saying. I do the same.
If I go to a site that regularly has the kind of music I like, chances are that the stuff I've never heard of will be similar to my taste in music as well. So I usually download the stuff I've never heard of. Its no different to walking into a sportsware shop and picking up something new that you liked and hadnt seen before. Its not what you came in for but its not random either. You were just exposed to it this way, and you bought it.

[Simon]

would sound like music you hven't heard before?

If you downloaded the new Kanye/Jay-Z album, would you only bother to listen to the radio releases Otis and H.A.M. and not bother with the rest of the tracks on the album because you've not heard them and so don't know if they will be good?

[MikeHunt]

i understand. but i just don't understand why a person would downlod something before checking out if they like it. youtube ect, my point of view isn't relly that stupid.
just because i like bon iver doesn't mean i would like adele and i know that through amazon they are in the things you might like.

[MikeHunt]

If you downloaded the new Kanye/Jay-Z album, would you only bother to listen to the radio releases Otis and H.A.M. and not bother with the rest of the tracks on the album because you've not heard them and so don't know if they will be good?

no. it's stupid that you would even think that.

[Simon]

i understand. but i just don't understand why a person would downlod something before checking out if they like it. youtube ect, my point of view isn't relly that stupid.
just because i like bon iver doesn't mean i would like adele and i know that through amazon they are in the things you might like.

Why would I bother searching for the ten-fifteen tracks on an album on Youtube when I can just download the whole thing in one go and listen at leisure?

[RuneEdge]

i understand. but i just don't understand why a person would downlod something before checking out if they like it. youtube ect, my point of view isn't relly that stupid.
just because i like bon iver doesn't mean i would like adele and i know that through amazon they are in the things you might like.

Well because its so much quicker to download a zip file with the whole album and then listen to the whole thing quickly to see whether you like it. If you dont, you just delete it. But on the other hand, you have to search each individual track on YouTube and you wont always find everything.
But besides that, you're downloading from a site that pretty much has a track record of delivering the kind of music you like, so you'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Which is why downloading the whole album doesnt seem like such a waste of time.


EDIT
what Simon said.

[MikeHunt]

i just wouldn't do it. fucking hell people are different. you think i am thick? back to wanking over spurs and pretending to be black.

[G-Fresh]

The myth that people still buy music is funny. I don't buy shit if it ain't got a Hatchet Man or Spade on it.

[Simon]

i understand. but i just don't understand why a person would downlod something before checking out if they like it. youtube ect, my point of view isn't relly that stupid.
just because i like bon iver doesn't mean i would like adele and i know that through amazon they are in the things you might like.
So do you only ever listen to Bon Iver? And was your inclination towards Bon Iver built into your brain from birth?

[Simon]

i just wouldn't do it. fucking hell people are different. you think i am thick? back to wanking over spurs and pretending to be black.

You are thick. As you will now show by explaining to me how I am "pretending to be black".

[MikeHunt]

no but i do listen to things i have heard on the radio, which i listen to a lot of, and through recomendations from music magazines and friends who like the same music. all i am saying is i would listen to something before downloading it.

do you understand? i understand what you are saying i just wouldn't do it.

[MikeHunt]

You are thick. As you will now show by explaining to me how I am "pretending to be black".

saying things like "BRAPPPP" and "BLUD" no matter how much you disagree is imitating black people. you do this quite often. pretty simple.

With rumors of a reunion LP continually popping up online, fans have been fever pitch for Mos Def and Talib Kwel to join forces on a full project for the first time in over a decade. Now, it looks like that Black Star may be one step closer to that reunion album, as the Brooklyn duo will be hitting "The Colbert Report" with a new song.

On Wednesday October 5, Mos Def and Talib Kweli will debut a new song titled "Fix Up" on Comedy Central hit show "The Colbert Report," in addition to performing their 1998 classic "Astronomy (8th Light)." This performance will mark Kweli's second appearance on the program in 2011.

Not really a fan of Machine Gun Kelly but everyone else was pretty good. Really great to see Tech.

2011 BET CYPHER #2 (BUSTA RHYMES, LUDACRIS, REEK DA VILLIAN, 2 CHAINZ)

Busta killed it and made that shit look easy. Luda seems kind of rusty to me.

2011 BET CYPHER #3 ( BLIND FURY, DOM KENNEDY, LADY OF RAGE, SKILLZ)

It was cool to see Blind Fury in something after hearing him on Tech's album.

2011 BET CYPHER #4 MMG (RICK ROSS, MEEK MILL, WALE, PILL, STALLEY)

Wale was good. That guy Stalley's beard almost looks fake.

2011 BET CYPHER #5 (ESTELLE, NITTY SCOTT, LACRAE, SOPRANO)

I've only ever heard of Estelle. That Lacrae guy was ok.

2011 BET CYPHER SHADY #6 (EMINEM, JOE BUDDEN, ROYCE DA 5 9, YELAWOLF, JOELL ORTIZ, CROOKED I

Lads can anyone help me with this, it's doing my head again.

A 90s hip-hop track by a not particularly well known artist/group. It has a similar drum sound to Dead Wrong by Biggie/Eminem, with a sort of off-beat Chinese sounding instrument playing. It's very sparse and I *think* part of the lyric goes "Here I go again, and here I flow again" or something similar. It's driving me mental!

[Bert]

BG Knock out & Gangsta Dresta - Real Brothas - YouTube

That?

I know it doesn't really sound the same but it came out in 95 and there's this part, "Knocc and dre here we go again, with the flow again"

[Simon]

Na not that.

Biggie Smalls - I Got A Story To Tell - YouTube

It has the exact same drums as that near enough, but instead of the guitar it has some sort of Oriental instrument that sounds off-key.

[Simon]

Please help me. It's doing my head in.

[Simon]

UPDATE: Disregard the lyrics I mentioned earlier, they are from Showbiz & AG's Next Level but the beat I'm looking for is a different one.

Stunning track. I'm going to celebrate my release from the prospect of suicide by having a bloody good listen to it.

[Matthew]

em kills that.

love them cyphers, those were some good times

[RuneEdge]

:wtf: You could've just asked where the Shady Cypher beat was from.

[Stringer Bell]

Anyone seen the Yelawolf album yet?

Studioleaks is a cool forum, but I wish they would organize the albums. Having 20 old/random albums mixed in on the front page with 5-10 new ones is kind of annoying to sort through.

[Bert]

Isn't it out November 21st?

[Stringer Bell]

I thought it was dropping this month.. The Source already reviewed it so it's gotta be out there somewhere

[Bert]

[Stringer Bell]

You guys into much instrumental shit? Sometimes I just love zoning out to stuff like Blockhead, Emancipator, Nujabes, Flying Lotus, etc. Always open to new stuff so if you guys have any good recommendations, post em up

Emancipator - Kamakura - YouTube

[G-Fresh]

You should check out Blue Sky Black Death. I love their instrumentals.

[Stringer Bell]

Oh yeah, I love them. That most recent album Noir is fantastic.

[Simon]

:wtf: You could've just asked where the Shady Cypher beat was from.

The cypher was what reminded me of that track but by the time I got round to trying to find the original version, I'd forgotten where I had heard it. Great video for the EFP original.

Stringer, what do you make of this for an instrumental? Fantastic brooding beat, really atmospheric...

Alex Breadman - Over Now -- Used in "SB Warm Up Sessions - English Frank" - YouTube

Goddamn..

Hell on Earth is one of the rawest, hardest rap albums EVER...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a6/Hell_on_earth_%28mobb_deep_album%29.jpg

10/10 Classic
Infamous is better although let down by Havoc using the same drum loop on every track. There are about five stone cold classic tracks - Shook Ones, The Start Of Your Ending, Give Up The Goods, Survival Of The Fittest and Eye For An Eye. Definitely one of the strongest debut albums of all time, unfairly ignored in comparison to Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic, Ready To Die etc.

Hell On Earth is a great album as well but I don't think it quite has the same number of unforgettable moments - Hell On Earth and Drop A Gem On Em are the only ones that are on the same level IMO.

I remember buying The Infamous after work when I was about 17, listening to it all night and then going out the next morning to buy Hell On Earth and Murda Muzik :D

[Pete Cash]

Isn't juvenile hell their debut album.

[Simon]

Yeah sorry I completely forgot about that. It was shit.

[Stringer Bell]

Hell On Earth is a great album as well but I don't think it quite has the same number of unforgettable moments - Hell On Earth and Drop A Gem On Em are the only ones that are on the same level IMO.


Bro.. Extortion, GOD Pt III, Can't Get Enough of It, Animal Instinct... Hell on Earth has some monster tracks. I just think it plays through better as a full album. Hav and P were in war mode then, with all the Pac/West Coast stuff going on..

[Simon]

Oh I'm not saying it's not good, I just LOVE The Infamous. Shook Ones is the obvious superstar track but Give Up The Goods and The Start Of Your Ending are even better IMO. Shame they got gradually worse to the point of being irrelevant. The last good track they released was fucking Quiet Storm. The only decent thing they've done since then is hand over the beat for Got It Twisted for Eminem to absolutely destroy on the Westwood show.

I've been meaning to post that. Good shit, just find it funny cause Snoop's pushin 40. But hey, can't hate on the guy.

[Stringer Bell]

Main Attrakionz are cool. Really love their production, not the best lyricists but it's all good because I usually just zone out to the beats anyway. Blackberry Ku$h is another dope EP worth checking out, got a Danny Brown feature on there.

Speaking of Danny, he's dropping a collab EP with Black Milk called Black & Brown on November 1st. Should be really dope.

[Ringo]

Sweet.

Am gonna put together a playlist of 2011's best Hip-Hop tracks SO FAR.

atm got Saigon's Preacher, Monch's Clap, Gambino's Break/Freaks & Geeks, Rae's Butter Knives, some WTT stuff, Yonkers, REKS' This Or That, HiiPower and a couple of KRIT tracks. Could also add in some Weeknd and such.

Any more ideas?

[Fro]

Fast Lane
Ill Mind of Hopsin 4
Royce - Writers Block (DJ Premier Remix)
Maybe a Cole track... Rise and Shine would be my pick.

[Stringer Bell]

Gotta have Saigon "It's Alright" and "Gotta Believe It" on there.. that transition between those two songs is one of my favorite things of the year.. Just Blaze killed it...

other stuff..

Nas - Nasty
Drake - Marvin's Room
Juicy J - Stoner's Night
Pusha T - Trouble on My Mind feat. Tyler
Pusha T - Alone In Vegas
Das Racist - Power feat. Danny Brown and Despot

Welcome to Strangeland has leaked. I don't like Tech enough to bother downloading it.

[G-Fresh]

Me & UncannyIowan were talkin a bit ago about Twiztid & Blaze getting busted with a QP on one of their tour buses and how dope sick Madrox looks. Being millionaires and having drug problems don't mix well. Let the hate begin.

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn50/MrDiamondFDC/twiztid-blaze.jpg

[UncannyIowan]

Twiztid is the shit no doubt, but man I'm really worried that these dudes might be pretty fucked. Especially Monoxide. Part of me wants to think Madrox just did some weird look just to sell the gimmick but still....

Wish I had the time and energy to look up the mug shot from like 1999 when ICP, Twiztid, and Psycho Realm (B-Real's side project) were arrested after a fight broke out at an IHOP. Madrox was fat as fuck and looked about 30 years younger lol. The problem with Madrox is that he is supposed to be a big dude. He's like 6'7" and looks like he's weighing about 185lbs in that picture. PHATSO!

[TheChillidogger]

Strangeland isn't bad. Typical Tech.

Blaze and monox are both balding and madrox looks like he's been hitting the quag

[Chris Dolmeth]

It's ok. Too much Krizz Kaliko for me so far.

ahaha a song with the darth vader breathing in the background.. awesome.

[G-Fresh]

Wish I had the time and energy to look up the mug shot from like 1999 when ICP, Twiztid, and Psycho Realm (B-Real's side project) were arrested after a fight broke out at an IHOP

That happened in Indiana. Myzery and Tom Dub was also with them.

Madrox looks like he's a broke, homeless crack head in Detroit....He makes Joe Bruce look sexy.

I hope that wasn't ghostwritten by Ludacris.


"Justin Bieber even asked if he could do the cypher. Everybody was worried that it might mess up the integrity of BET but I was like, 'Long as he got a dope rhyme, let him spit.' But, then we heard, 'He wants Luda to write his rhyme.' I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no, no, no.' If you ain't writing your own rhyme, you can't do it.


Of course then Luda tried to say that it wasn't true, but it's more believable that it is.

[Pete Cash]

are you having a laugh

[Ringo]

Well Illmatic has 9 tracks for a start....

also Cuban Linx/36 Chambers

[Pete Cash]

There is only like 2 or 3 songs off Illmatic that I think can match Shook Ones. Represent, N.Y State Of Mind and Memory Lane.

Not that Illmatic isn't a perfect album tho.

[Simon]

It Ain't Hard To Tell as well surely.

I'd be well up for a best hip-hop track poll and could come up with about 100 candidates straight away. Maybe if everyone sends in a list of their favourite 20 or so and the most popular 50 or so that get sent to you can be voted on.

[Ringo]

yeah or just have people send lists of 25-100 (with plenty of time to get it done) and then do a list based on points. Prefer that to separate polls with JUICY VS KEEP YA HEAD UP or whatever.

It Ain't Hard To Tell amazing

He also hangs out with trendy acts like Weeknd and Kendrick now so we should probably take note.

Oh shit they're by a computer maybe that means they will leak it. But probably not.

[Fro]

This string of people posting pics of Take Care to brag about having it early is gayer than Drake himself.

[Bert]

The same thing happened with Tyler The Creator's Goblin and loads more albums I'm sure.

I'm way more excited for Camp to leak but Take Care will probably leak first just because of his massive fanbase.

I like Drake though, I didn't used to besides a few songs but he gets played at my work over and over so he's grew on me.

[Fro]

I actually like Drake, dude is definitely talented, but Thank Me Later felt really shallow and directionless as an album. He can make hot songs and verses but I'm not sure he has anything interesting enough to say to make a great album. It's all the same braggadocio content. But we shall see.

192kbps. Sounds good. Missing the last track The Ride from the regular version and the iTunes/Deluxe bonus tracks Hate Sleeping Alone and The Motto, The Motto was on hiphopdx though so I got it from there for now.
