Hip Hop Discussion/Album Review Thread.

Really excited for Channel Orange. Pyramids is a monster of a song

[Bert]

Tag just says bert mentions gambino. The mixtape is out now though.

It's not like I'm stopping you from contributing anything anyway, you just have nothing to contribute.

Wow, that white guy P.W.T. actually killed it. Was not expecting that. :lol: @ Canibus line.

One-2 was good too.

Fair play these were both good.

Who did the good thread in a mad forum tag as they are my new best friend?

When the game improves there will be something to say. The sheer fact that Gambino takes up so much of the time on this forum (and indeed that QS is still going on about Canibus and DVDA is still going on about the facepaint friends) is evidence that hip-hop remains in a slump.

Whenever anyone posts something I enjoy, I always make a point of crediting it, as I did above...there just isn't that much to be effusive about. It doesn't help that the site I use to get new hip-hop (2DopeBoyz, someone on here linked me to it) seems to post every single hip-hop track that it ever hears of, with no quality control, so you have to download 100 tracks to find one that is any good...is there a site that is more selective?

[son_of_foley]

Kendrick and Ocean dropping. K.R.I.T and EL-P already down. Good Music dropping as well. It's been a fairly solid summer from my POV

[QuietStorm]

This is great year in my opinion too with plenty more coming in the near future. Look around.

[son_of_foley]

I know I'm a bit gay for Cudi so I'm sorry but I fucking love this song to a stupid degree.

Think ASAP Rocky is a bit cool as well

Simon, you seriously cannot use this thread as a gauge of what's going on in hip-hop. Of course people are going to be biased and lean towards their favorite artists. And they should, passionate fans are the best.

There's a TON of good stuff that has come out this year. Some of my favorites just to name a few are albums from El-P, Killer Mike, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Curren$y, Big K.R.I.T., Meyhem Lauren, Action Bronson, Dom Kennedy, and Alchemist. Plenty of stuff to get you started if you need some newer material to check out.

And as far as finding a blog that only posts music you like, good fucking luck. That's always been part of the fun of finding stuff on the internet to me, weeding through the crap and finding the cream that rises to the top. But, if you don't have patience or truly enjoy music, I guess it could be time consuming. My favorite blog is Nahright.com, simply because they get just about everything first.

[Simon]

Na it has nothing to do with not having patience, and I know you'll never find something exclusively to your tastes (and you're right that it limits what you will find), but 2DB is ridiculous - there has to be a happy medium somewhere. Do you use 2DB? I have spent an hour downloading every song since the last time I checked, often going to 50-100 new tracks, and don't find even ONE that is any good. They seem to accept any old crap. That, plus my dislike for a lot of new stuff anyway, makes it frustrating.

I Youtubed a bunch of Coka Nostra tracks after that one Bert posted and he seems pretty good, just downloaded his discography and gonna have a look through it tonight at some point.

[G-Fresh]

DVDA is still going on about the facepaint friends

Whoop Whoop nigga


I Youtubed a bunch of Coka Nostra tracks after that one Bert posted and he seems pretty good, just downloaded his discography and gonna have a look through it tonight at some point.

What? LCN is a group.

[QuietStorm]

It's alright, when I first started listening to Zion I years and years ago I did the same thing. Whoops. Also, Simon.... listen to some Zion I.

[G-Fresh]

Happy Independence Day


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53GrVNFArHQ

[Stringer Bell]

Yeah, La Coka Nostra is a group, but I really can't blame Simon, they should have promoted their first project a lot better than they did. But it WAS Ill Bill, Everlast, Danny Boy, Slaine, and DJ Lethal. Now I think it's just Ill Bill, Slaine, and Danny Boy. Still really good stuff though. You should check out their first album, A Brand You Can Trust.

I don't really use 2DB, but I do use Nahright a whole lot.

No one's talking about that Ab-Soul verse on "Unnecessary"? Best verse I've heard on this mixtape so far. Shreds it.

EDIT- Just hit "RIP", loving the Night Call sample from the Drive Soundtrack. That beat was just begging for someone to rap over it. Nicely done DG.

[G-Fresh]

I got to see them with Blaze Ya Dead Homie & KMK a few years ago while tripping on DOI. They put on a really good live show. Everlast left to take care of his daughter.

I know people that still think Tech N9ne is a group.

[QuietStorm]

That's probably because Tech N9ne has 18 guest spots on every album.

[G-Fresh]

CHYEA

[Simon]

I'd never heard of LCN until yesterday. I thought it was odd that Ill Bill was all over 'his' tracks. Finding out that it has Everlast and fucking DJ Lethal has just put me off massively even though I quite liked what I thought LCN was just five minutes ago. Gave a listen to a few tracks last night, not bad but it seems like a lot of their beats are near-exact ripoffs of earlier stuff. 'That's Coke' is a direct steal of 'U Don't Know' by Jay-Z and there was another track that jacked Klashnekoff's 'Sayonara', I forget which.

Link to Sayonara because it's awesome:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_eABQWK_m0

[UncannyIowan]

Everlast is still a good rapper, he definitely wouldn't be working with ILL Bill, Bill don't give a fuck about your name and Everlast isn't exactly carrying much weight in the mainstream. TBH, ILL Bill rapping with him probably gives Everlast more cred than if he had tried to make a House of Pain comeback. Plus man, you're talking about having an issue with them sampling some Jay-Z shit when Jay-Z's done the exact same, even taking Biggy Smalls own raps and putting them as his own. Sorry, "paying homage" lol. Either way man I hope you keep bumpin this shit, it's pretty dope just to hear the old and new school flavor mixing on some harder shit.

[G-Fresh]

Everlast and Danny Boy are no longer members and I'm not sure about DJ Lethal. Slaine is the standout of the group imo.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQn7WATXmQA

[Simon]

Oh I'm not complaining as such, of course hip-hop has a history of sampling, being inspired by or outright thieving material...but those two tracks sit in a weird zone between being new productions with heavy use of samples and vocal dubs over the original beat...they both sound like slightly altered mixes of the originals. Not sure if my point is very clear.

Reminds me of that old story about Mario Winans paying The Fugees for the use of the Ready Or Not sample, then getting sued by Enya who The Fugees had sampled in the first place :lol:

[Bert]

It doesn't help that the site I use to get new hip-hop (2DopeBoyz, someone on here linked me to it) seems to post every single hip-hop track that it ever hears of, with no quality control, so you have to download 100 tracks to find one that is any good...is there a site that is more selective?

I linked you to it. They do post a lot of stuff but it's probably because people have different tastes, the production is usually good even if I think the rapper sucks.

I just stick to listening to songs by artists I know most of the time, or you could look at the dope/nope votes to get a good idea of what's good.

What is Matt hardy doing there?

Wrestling in BloodyMania and doing comedy.

Cheech & Chong and Jason Mewes are also gonne be there.

[MikeHunt]

Matt hardy doing comedy! Haha that's pretty funny.

[G-Fresh]

That is if he can. Most of the people they get to do comedy are normally too fucked up to do their shit and just sit around smoking weed with the crowd.

[Stringer Bell]

Um wow. I never in a million years thought I'd say this, but that Gathering of the Juggalos lineup looks halfway decent. Maybe someone more informed can fill me in, what's the deal with all of these "regular" artists joining on? I know Tech N9ne's always kind of been in that niche, but it seems like out of nowhere this thing has kind of blown up. Is it just a novelty? I don't get it.

But yeah, a handful of artists I'd like to see. Three 6, Geto Boys, Danny Brown, Tech, Master P would be fun, DMX, Game, HEEMS!!!!!!, Onyx, Kool Keith, Slaine, Mack 10, Warren G, The Pharcyde. Man... those names alone would be enough for me. This is surreal to be perfectly honest.

[Bert]

It seems like it would take a lot to get Ralphie May fucked up.

Went to Wireless yesterday. The Weeknd, Chiddy Bang, Dot Rotten and Drake were all brilliant but Wiz Khalifa stole the show for me. Was brilliant to stand there in the pouring rain with 10,000 people singing along to Young and Wild and Free.

[Stringer Bell]

This new Aesop :yes: Beats are fucking immaculate. Dude killed it. I'm only about halfway through but this is definitely some of his best work, I almost want to say it's his flat out best. Definitely the most accessible.

How random is Action Bronson x The Alchemist x BATISTA? What? I'm sure it will turn out cool though, Action and Alc can pretty much do no wrong.

Rapper KMG, of legendary west coast group Above The Law, passed away recently, with news spreading around social networks on Saturday (July 7)

Rip to my original G Funk homeboy KMG. him and above the law raised me as a rookie," Warren G tweeted (@Regulator).

"One of the best. Dope mc and a good good brotha. Long live KMG," added N.W.A. member MC Ren (@MCRenCPT).

"Some people credit Above The Law with helping innovate the sound we all heard and loved on the first Chronic album. #RIPKMG," Crooked I tweeted (@CrookedIntriago).

Above The Law got their start as an act on Eazy-E's Ruthless Records in the late 1980's, releasing their debut album Livin' Like Hustlers in 1990, which featured guest appearances from several N.W.A. members and even production from Dr. Dre.

KMG (aka KMG The Illustrator) worked on eight albums with the group, which he founded alongside Big Hutch (aka Cold 187um) and DJ Total K-Oss. In 22 years, A.T.L. was signed to Tommy Boy Records and Death Row Records, following their deal with Ruthless.

Livin' Like Hustlers and their third album, Black Mafia Life, both received gold certification, latter featuring an early appearance by Tupac Shakur. Their last album together came was 2009's Sex, Money & Music, their seventh studio LP.


Violent J & 2 Dope ‏@icp

Im devistated as an ATL fan and I'm crushed as a friend. RIP KMG. My heart goes out to his family, friends and especially to Cold 187um - VJ

[G-Fresh]

I dig his production a lot more than his rapping.

[QuietStorm]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL_q3X-9S_o

A classic.

[Psycho666Soldier]

Been going through Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music. Talk about ripping stuff. Mike's flow and lyrics are great, and this is some of El-P's best production that I've heard. Anyone who hasn't heard it yet is cheating themselves. It's well worth the listen.

[G-Fresh]

His shit is normally on point. I need to peep it out.

[Psycho666Soldier]

I've been aware of him since that track with Outkast back in 2000, but I never really checked him out until this CD came out. I've been missing out it seems, but I also kind of feel this is probably one of his best works, if not his best. I need to hear his first few CDs on the whole, though, before I can make that judgment.

[Chris Dolmeth]

It definitely is one of his best. But like DVDA said, he's usually always on point. Monster is one of my favorite cds.

Yeah, probably my album of the year to date.

Frank Ocean on pace to sell over 100k in his first week on iTunes only. Good for him. I need to check that album out.

I've been hearing very good things about the Nas album over at KTT since it leaked, with a lot of people calling it his first classic since Lost Tapes/Stillmatic. Def gonna cop it on Tuesday in stores.

[G-Fresh]

Nas will always be the guy that white kids listen to so they seem cool.

[Fro]

Clearly not as cool as being anti-mainstream though

[MikeHunt]

Just been to wu legends fucking magnificent those cunts know how to control a crowd. Ghost face was the fucking highlight as usual of course.

[G-Fresh]

Wu are the only mainstream rappers worth a fuck and I dig the underground affiliates way more than the Generals.

[Psycho666Soldier]

The GZA's always been my personal favorite. I love his lyrical style and delivery. He's very sharp. I like Inspectah Deck a lot, too, but his solo shit was never as good as any tracks he did elsewhere, whether it be on an actual Wu Tang release or on one of the other member's solo albums.

I still haven't heard much of Wu Tang's albums after 36 Chambers. Wu Forever seems kind of weak, and I just never got around to the rest, but most of them are still getting out great solo albums.

[QuietStorm]

Nas will always be the guy that white kids listen to so they seem cool.
I'm white and like Nas. Not cool though, just a sportswriter nerd.

[G-Fresh]

Muthafuckin Raekwon is gonna be at the GotJ. I'm so fuckin geeked.

[MikeHunt]

He was braw the other night. I acctually quite like the look of the GofJ line up this year.

[QuietStorm]

Watching "The Carter" and laughing hysterically. I'm not sure if this is the emotion I'm supposed to be using.

[Fro]

I haven't seen that, but Wayne sued to keep it unreleased so it must be good.

[G-Fresh]

Normally it's the other way around.

[Psycho666Soldier]

Not with Wayne. He's just pissed because of how much it shows his drug usage.

[G-Fresh]

I don't see how his drug use or really anything can make him look worse than he already does. The dude kisses guys.

[Stringer Bell]

Just popping in to say that the Nas album is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else right now

This guy sounds hungry. In my eyes this is the TRUE Stillmatic, or Illmatic sequel type deal. It really plays like a early 90's rap album, save for a few tracks. The Swizz Beatz song definitely can go, but everything else is pretty much :yes: Some excellent verses. I love this album.

Frank Ocean's album is really, really good too. Love Sweet Life, Pyramids, Lost, and Pink Matter. The whole thing is awesome though.

[G-Fresh]

He was braw the other night. I acctually quite like the look of the GofJ line up this year.

I got to see Rae in 2009 at the Bluebird in Bloomington, Indiana. There way only like 40 people there and he put on a great show. The highlight of the night was M-Eighty giving me the bottle of Crown Royal that him and Rae had been drinking to finish off. It's probably the coolest music memorabilia I have along with an empty bottle of Faygo that Sabu stabbed with scissors that I caught at an ICP concert.

Ditto. I'm not sure where it will rank in Nas's discography yet. Stillmatic was rightfully hailed as a reutrn to form for Nas and while it does fall off in the last 5 tracks or so, I don't think anything on Life is Good is on the level of One Mic, 2nd Childhood or Rewind. But LIG is more consistent. I can't call it yet. He gets a little more personal than he normally does with the stuff about Kelis and the Daughters track, and it all sounds very sincere and refreshing as compared to the more preachy stuff he did on Hip Hop is Dead and Nigger.

That grating, monotone voice over dull, repetitive beats is why it's not good. No one is denying he is unoriginal or unambitious - but those qualities alone doesn't make a good rapper. Unfortunately the reality is that with all the technical skill in the world, if you don't have a listenable voice and a consistently strong beat selection, most people aren't going to be interested in listening to you.

I'm still excited.

[Fro]

Me too.

I'm more excited to get my home laptop back from repair in a few days which means I can finally catch up on downloading shit. GFID, the Childish mixtape, Crooked I mixtape, Frank Ocean album etc. I'm way behind at the moment. Life is Good hard copy been on steady repeat.

[RuneEdge]

I scrolled down that post thinking theres a download link at the end. :\

[Bert]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yThsTQBBJjg

I guess the mixtape will be out a week earlier than the album at this rate.

[Fro]

I'm playing some catch up and downloaded God Forgives I Don't and Royalty last night. Got about half way through GFID before stopping due to boredom but the Childish mixtape is excellent. Arguably his best work yet.

[Simon]

Is God Forgives, I Don't any good? I liked that Three Kings track. I was on record before as hating Rick Ross but I have to admit there's a certain brainless quality to his stuff that appeals to me when I'm getting my adrenaline going before football or whatever.

[RuneEdge]

I liked about 3-4 out of 17 tracks off that album. But thats all I ever expect from Rick Ross. I enjoy his singles and features, but thats it.

[Fro]

I thought Teflon Don was really good with a lot of bangers throughout. Nothing brilliant by any means but a good pump up/party album like Simon was saying and without much filler. Like I said I only got through the first half of GFID but from what I heard it seems to be a step back in terms of production. And Ross without banging production is very blah. I'm going to listen to the rest of it now though.

[RuneEdge]

His "Maybach Music" series has some nice production, especially the one on GFID with Ne-Yo.

[G-Fresh]

10+ people have already been arrested at the GotJ and it doesn't start until tomorrow. My ride fell through so I ain't going.

[Fro]

You aint bout that life

[MikeHunt]

10+ people have already been arrested at the GotJ and it doesn't start until tomorrow. My ride fell through so I ain't going.

I thought there was hardly any pressance police at the GofJ?

[Nightman Sneaky Mean]

Mike, shut the fuck up. Everyone knows there's police always pressance at the GotJ.

[Psycho666Soldier]

Overreaction much?

[MikeHunt]

Mike, shut the fuck up. Everyone knows there's police always pressance at the GotJ.

You're a madman! Hahaha! I've read in numerous places there is a lowered police pressance at GotJ. I was asking someone who had been not some maniac ill informed Maori with half a brain and a wild addiction to writing crap scripts and poping paracetamol.

[Nightman Sneaky Mean]

You clearly have no idea on what you're talking about, I'm fucking European.

[MikeHunt]

I can 100% remember you banging on about new zeland, maoris, rugby and your script being riddled with oceanic references so I'm calling bollocks. Anyway again I asked someone who has been and not some non video making lying about taking prescription drug idiot.

[G-Fresh]

I thought there was hardly any pressance police at the GofJ?

They have checkpoints all around the campgrounds.

[MikeHunt]

Have you been to any other festivals dvda? If so how does the police pressance compare?

[Nightman Sneaky Mean]

DVDA, you still on FB? I sort of lost track of you, dude. You and your epic Bible verses. PM to get back in touch.

[Chris Dolmeth]

I'm enjoying GFID. Not a classic by any means, but it's still a pretty good cd.

[Fro]

It's not bad. It would have been better served had he kept it around 12 songs like Teflon Don.

[Psycho666Soldier]

I just can not get into Rick Ross. Not at all. He's ignorant and pointless. Only the beats he raps over have the ability to grab my attention.

[QuietStorm]

I can't listen to Rick Ross because I would be babysitting the fast forward button the entire time. Nope.

They will most likely use it for the next single but it really should have just replaced Garbage ft Swizz Beats.

[Bert]

Well, there's a few mediocre songs (Throw It Away) but overall I have to say I like it. Get Up is good, We Did It is good, Flip A Bird is good, I wish Rescue Me had someone like Tech N9ne on it, I think he would have worked really well, Frat House is kind of meh, Park It Sideways will probably be a single, Our Way is good, Asylum is ok, The Other Side (a bonus track) is good, Place To Be is surprisingly good.

These are just first impressions though. It will probably grow on me the more I listen to it.

[Fro]

Yeah it's not exactly AOTY but it's pretty good. Our House is sick, probably my favorite song (although I haven't gotten to bonus yet). Skylar Grey is great in both her appearances.

[Bert]

welcome to: our house

our house 9/10 love this song. em+skylar hooks are great. em's flow isnt amazing but its a good verse, and the other guys do well.

coffin 7.5/10 pretty good i dig it

throw that 5.5/10 awful beat. uninspired em, nothing else particularly redeeming. i can still listen to it tho

hammer dance 8.5/10 definitely has grown on me. its an understated dope song.

get up 7/10 not bad but a little disappointing for a No I.D. track

my life 8/10 another single that grew on me. the beat is fluffy but it works well for a radio/party song. and the flows are nice.

flip a bird 6/10 this song is fucking weird. i dont particularly like the beat or hook but its listenable.

throw it away 7/10 fuck the haters i fucks with this song. swizz is good on the hook and the silly shit they do with the flow amuses me.

rescue me 8.5/10 love me some more skylar. the beat isnt bad, better than most alex beats. very good verses.

frat house 8/10 this song gets me amped. great party/get fucked up song.

goodbye 9/10 joe's verse :cry: all three are some of the best on the album. decent beat and good, fitting hook

park it sideways 6.5/10 the beat sounds just like 'the show goes on' (same producer) but its not quite as good and the verses are pretty uninspired. the hook is catchy though.

die 6/10 listenable but kinda wack. i do like how they all rap about shooting people.

our way 7/10 those weak, generic boi 1da snares are annoying. but otherwise its a decent enough track.

I think the transitions on this disc are really good which is a plus.

overall: 7.5/10

[Stringer Bell]

I guess I should go back and listen again. I was pretty let down with this one, one of the bigger disappointments in recent memory. I also wasn't really feeling the mixtape, maybe I just haven't been in the mood for their style. But nothing really "wowed" me lyrically.

Surprised that you (fro) ranked "Our Way" and "Flip a Bird" the way you did, those were 2 of the only songs that stood out to me. The production on the album is just all over the place. Abrasive, and not in a good way.

Stuff like "Throw That" (just bad) and "Park It Sideways" (way too poppy) doesn't belong anywhere on this album, much less in this group's catalog.

I just don't see how with 4 of the dopest MC's, this is what you come up with. Sure they've got Em's awful ear for beats and other people controlling the album now that they're on the major, but really... none of these guys spoke up to say some of these songs were totally fucking wack? How can you be proud of this album?

I dunno, it's just kind of like.. this was the worst case scenario with the Shady deal. It almost seemed too good to fuck up. But between this and Yelawolf, I'd say they are 0/2.

EDIT: On 2nd listen, "Get Up" is pretty damn dope. I didn't realize that was a No ID beat. Maybe my favorite on the album.




Meanwhile, this is probably my favorite beat of the year. How the fuck is a 19 year old white girl dropping better songs than Slaughterhouse? Riff Raff is wildly entertaining too. I wrote the dude off as a novelty for the longest time, and that's pretty much exactly what he is, but he's gotta be the most enjoyable novelty of all time. Love him on the Action Bronson stuff too.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NNbeS-_EEA

BTW, for what its worth, Danny Brown is my favorite guy out right now. Definitely my favorite of the "new" class.

[Fro]

Yeah Get Up is good, I think the "lose" on repeat part just kinda annoys me cuz it sounds like a ripoff of Clipse's Champion.

Anyway, I think 7.5/10 is still an underachievement for them but I do enjoy the album. Then again what have these guys ever done on their own? It's not like any of them has a classic album to their name.

The mixtape is also pretty good I think you should give it another listen.

[G-Fresh]

Looks like Rittz inked a deal with Strange.

It says Jordan Redaelli, Jason Miller, & Brandon Thompson.

Actually, after looking it up, it's this dude named Beautiful Lou who worked on her whole EP. I think the "Producer" line you looked at in the video was talking about who produced the music video.

I didn't even think of that shit. Is Kitty Pryde signed to Mad Decent too?

[Stringer Bell]

Yeah sorry guys, it's Beautiful Lou on that Kitty Pryde beat. There's just something hypnotizing about that shit. Kitty Pryde's got some other stuff worth listening to, too. The thing I like about her is she's not on some Kreayshawn, fake gangster white girl shit. She's just her. She raps about her dad taking away her Adderall and being sad about her boyfriend. I can appreciate the honesty. And really, she's not a terrible rapper.. she's actually got a unique flow (although some compare her to Kilo Kish). And Riff Raff is just amazing.

Harry Fraud is also really, really killing the beats right now. Probably my favorite producer of the moment. Anyone who hasn't definitely needs to check out his EP with Curren$y, "Cigarette Boats" and also his album with Smoke DZA, "Rugby Thompson". Great projects.

Here's another slept on song from this year.. Action Bronson (who has also been absolutely killing it) and Riff Raff over Harry Fraud production. Another one of my favorite beats this year. Just too smooth for words, it makes me want to smoke 1,000 blunts on a beach.

Also.. ALSO...

The tracklist for the ASAP Mob album dropping at midnight tonight is out

http://www.ddotomen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/back.png

Track 4 is gonna make me FLIP MY SHIT. Danny Brown, DC's own Fat Trel, and GUNPLAY on a fucking song together? Jesus. Sensory overload. I can't wait.

[Psycho666Soldier]

I ended up listening to a lot of Kitty Pryde's stuff(pretty much all of it, but not all of her songs on industry beats). She has such a unique style of lyrics, and like you said, you have to appreciate the honesty, even if you don't always care what she's rapping about. I could do without the romantic songs where she's talking about being sad about her boyfriend, especially because a LOT of her songs tend to focus on that. I enjoy her stuff otherwise, though, and she's almost always rapping on some odd, hypnotic, and down-right enjoyable beat. So I'm keeping my eye on her and supporting her, but I know there will only be certain tracks I'll really dig.

Like Orion's Belt. That's the best example of her style that I can really get into. All the stalker talk and stuff is neat too...and surprisingly, I can even dig the honest Bieber love if only because it feels creepy. Unique talent.

Riff Raff seems pretty cool, too, but I have to listen to more of his stuff. That verse on that Bronson track is pretty nice, and that beat is just mesmerizing. Good stuff...not too big a fan of Bronson's flow, though.

Same. I like the album a lot. The more I listen the more I think Goodbye is not only the best track on the album but one of the best songs of the year.

[Bert]

It's the #1 Hip Hop album and the #2 album overall on iTunes right now, so here's hoping.

Also, I'm pretty sure what I read before about the leak not being CDQ was accurate, the tracks sound way better now.

So if you want to listen to it, even if you're not going to buy it, find an iTunes or CD rip.

t.


I listened to Okay Cupid last night and her voice and flow remind me so much of Kilo Kish.


:wtf: Yeah...

Really surprised there isn't more talk about the Frank Ocean album in here. "Pyramids" is probably the best song I've heard all year. It's 10 minutes long and I feel like I've spent half of the last 2 months listening to it.

Still can't get over how underwhelming the Slaughterhouse album is. I wanted to love it. There's a few tracks I'll probably come back to and enjoy more as time passes, but it's just not what I wanted. I'd say that their debut + the handful of tracks that leaked before it are still better than anything they've done sense. Where's the "Sound Off" and "Microphone" type bangers? I actually bought their last one, but I'm not getting near a physical copy of this one.

Kinda disappointed with the ASAP Mob tape. The beats are amazing, but unfortunately a lot of the guys just aren't very good rappers. ASAP Nast is decent, and ASAP Ferg has the dope Big Moe-ish singing thing going on, but some of the lyrics are just hard to listen to. "Coke & White Bitches" is my favorite song and it's ridiculous how bad ASAP Ant (by far the worst of the bunch) sounds next to Danny Brown, Fat Trel, and Gunplay. The Rocky tracks are all quality though.

Speaking of Gunplay, dude is KILLING it lately. I still don't know how people in here were trashing him, saying he couldn't rap. Are you kidding me? He out-raps EVERYONE on MMG's "Power Circle". Sure, he's not the most thought provoking or inspirational rapper, but that's not what he's trying to be either. He's a crazy coke head and it's entertaining as fuck.

Frank Ocean is the rap equivalent to Lamar from Revenge of The Nerds.

Saw Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and Stalley last night. 2nd time seeing all of them besides Jay Rock.. Kendrick is such a great live performer.

Got a handful of videos but this clip of ADHD is my favorite. The crowd was fucking nuts.

For some reason I can't get it to post embedded, oh well. Song starts around 2:25.

A local guy made a music video in the style of Big Lebowski. I'm really liking it.

My homie Woodenchainz is featured on hiphopdx with Kevlaar 7 featuring Bronze Nazareth & Styles P. Peep the shit out and rate it. Any Wu head should dig it.

20-minute update vid. As much as you hate him, I love that my favorite rap artist is making a nine-hour album that can be mixed infinitely. No matter his popularity, he goes in for his fans.

[Simon]

:lol:

[Fro]

Pretty sure listening to his 9 hour album qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

[Simon]

Listening to any of his fucking albums is cruel and unusual punishment.

[Bert]

Quality over quantity. That's all I have to say.

[G-Fresh]

Rip the Jacker is still an amazing album.

[Chris Scott]

Dre Beats and hip hop music perfect match, love my new beats.

[Fro]

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong I'm still a huge fan of Bis in his prime. I still have my Rip the Jacker and Mic Club hard copies and 2000 BC is the shit. But this 9 hour, 10,000-bar shit he's doing now is pretty ridiculous. Not that I actually have a problem with it, his hardcore fans like QS fuck with it so good on him for putting out that much material. But you'd have to pay me to listen to it all.

Nahhhhh

[G-Fresh]

Simon is a Eurofag. His opinions don't matter.

[Fro]

Dre Beats and hip hop music perfect match, love my new beats.

Dre made like 100 million off those when he sold half the company to HTC, fucking brilliant business move. I see them all over the place now. Haven't tried them myself. From what I hear on hip hop forums they're overpriced and not the best on the market but either way they're flying off shelves.

[Simon]

Beats headphones are decent but waaaaaaay overpriced.

I so badly wish Lunar C had a better delivery, some of his punchlines in this are ridiculous...it's not even his flow that's bad, he just has an irritating voice.

GOOD Music album is a pretty big letdown. Not a bad album by any means but only 12 tracks, 5 of which have already been released as singles, and the new 7 are kinda all over the place. The first voice you hear is R. Kelly and the last is Jadakiss. :wtf:

I Don't Like (Remix) being the close out song is just a baffling sequencing decision. No Yassin Bey is disappointing too.

Clique is my shit tho and the new version of New God Flow with a Ghostface verse is dope.

[MikeHunt]

Clique is stunning. Some fucking beat.

[Bert]

Hey DVDA, did EBAH leak?

Yeah. I'm waiting on a link.

The R. Kelly track is the only decent track on it IMO.

R. Kelly is absolutely brilliant.

Food and Liquor 2 leaked. It's pretty damn good.

[son_of_foley]

The lead singles were immense. Last album was disgustingly bad. fingers crossed

[Bert]

I like it. It's one of those albums where I have to listen to the whole thing though. No individual songs.

[RuneEdge]

Did DMX's album leak?
I get all the leaks from Atrilli but they dont have any links for Undisputed for some reason.

[MikeHunt]

This is how every album should e listened to. I bet you bloody love shuffle!

You really liked that album and mixtape that much? I haven't touched them since the week they dropped. Kinda disappointing really, I wanted to love them. What are your favorite tracks at this point?

New Flying Lotus album, while not technically hip-hop I guess, is fucking brilliant. One of the best things I've heard all year.

GOOD Music album should have been longer but there's a ton of gems. Ghostface on New God Flow obviously has everyone talking, but I really like The Morning and Higher as well. Nice to hear Mase sounding motivated. And Cyhi Da Prince really steals the show when he wants to, I love when he comes on "Sin City"..

Lupe's record is pretty good. A whole lot better than Lasers. I don't know what his infatuation with having singing on almost damn near every hook is, but it's a good album.

New Homebody Sandman is really good too

Besides that, been listening to a lot of Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire, Spaceghostpurrp, and Danny Brown of course.

[Chris Scott]

I haven't tried any other ones, but I'm happy with what I've got.

[Fro]

Yeah, not that you were talking to me, but I still bump that album on the reg. Off the mixtape, Back The Fuck Up is my favorite track. It's the one song I wish would have made the album. It's probably the most purely lyrical song of either release. On The House and Juggernauts are my other main joints off the tape. As for the album, I think Goodbye, Our House, Hammer Dance and Get Up are the outstanding tracks but other than Throw That there aren't any songs I don't fuck with. The Other Side is one I've been bumping a lot lately. At first I was disappointed in it because I was expecting a JUSTICE League banger but if you throw out that expectation it's a really dope song. Royce's verse is so good, one of the best on the album. In fact all of the bonus tracks are great in their own right. Place to Be should have been a single, Asylum is that Relapse-esque Em production, and Walk of Shame is just fun.

Regarding Cruel Summer, The One is probably my favorite of the the 4 new posse cuts (The One, Higher, The Morning, Sin City) despite 2 Chainz feeling out of place on it (if Mos Def or Common replaced him on the third verse it would have been a real classic). The Morning is the gem of the bunch lyrically but The One's beat and hook >>

Black face, really Lupe? Give me a break.

[QuietStorm]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuupe.

[Simon]

That fucking Lupe album is absolutely shit. What exactly was the point of re-doing TROY with only the tiniest bit of polishing on the beat? Was he hoping the brilliance of the original would rub off on him, or that people wouldn't realise it's a ripoff?

[Bert]

Whats your issue with the black face? Heavy handed yeah but important to note he's got a lot of shit from people thinking his drink is real and not grasping what the videos trying to say so heavy handed comparissons will probably be needed to get his point across. I think it's a reasonably interesting, although weird granted, angle to take on the whole WHITE JEWS running Hip Hop angle which has been done to death.

[Simon]

He should stick to rapping about skateboarding.

Any fans of Random Axe? My friend that's a DJ/producer just burned me a cd with a bunch of tracks from various "albums" and I quote albums because I think a few are just mixtape releases Sean P did.
