Hip Hop Discussion/Album Review Thread.

[G-Fresh]

I had so much respect for you, DVDA.

They made shitty pop music and get called the greatest band of all time. You can tell by my avy that I'm a Pink Floyd guy. The band that actually is the greatest of all time.

[Nash Diesel]

It's hard to argue that The Beatles aren't one of the greatest bands of all time so it's for sure understandable why they get the respect they do. In terms of hits, record sales, INFLUENCE, and that last part goes a long way because IMO they influenced probably 90% of the artists that came out after them in some way. Even indirectly artists have been influenced by being influenced by bands who were inspired by The Beatles. They weren't the first, they weren't the last, but the impact is undeniable and ranks up there in the top 5, maybe top 3 of any genre of music. That's why a band like Pink Floyd won't get that level of respect, their influence and impact doesn't reach like The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis, but no fucking question they are incredible and one of my all time favorites over any artist I've mentioned in this post.

[G-Fresh]

I'm not arguing that they weren't the most influential. Pink Floyd were never really about singles. The ones they did release before Syd left like See Emily Play, Arnold Layne, & Apples & Oranges all had the Brit pop sound and that's probably because of Syd's love of the Beatles. Roger and the others were all about them too. Talent though.....Floyd smashes them. They pretty much smash everybody. There ain't a guitarist alive now or ever better than David Gilmour. Syd and Roger were/are lyrical geniuses and all of them were/are amazing vocalists.

[Nash Diesel]

Yep. I agree my brother. Floyd are an amazing band to listen to, it's like they tap into that part of your brain that doesn't mind going on a musical journey for a few hours.

[Psycho666Soldier]

Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're the greatest band of all time, but they made more than shitty pop music. Most of their pop stuff were their first 3 albums, and after that they started getting more edge and creating wonderful music, music that pushed the bars of creativity, much like Pink Floyd did.

Dope vid for a fuckin dope song. I'm diggin Seven's production a lot more these days.

[Nash Diesel]

He's kind of reached that Mike E. Clark level with mixing the horror sounds and other hip hop elements.

Anyone peep the Joey Badass album? I think I'm just gonna wait until tuesday and cop it in stores.

Edit: and new Lupe leaked as well

[Bert]

DL'ing new Joey and Lupe along with sorta new Cunninlinguists EP.

[Fro]

I ended up downloading B4.DA.$$ and it is fucking NICE. Loving it. His best project yet and AOTY contender. For someone who was born in 1995 it's amazing how he really brings back that mid 90s type sound.

Teach me by Joey Bada$$ is one of the best songs of the year so far

[Simon]

Is his CD any good? Not had a chance to listen yet but the one review I read of it criticised it for being dated...tbh anything that harks back to the 90s is a good thing in my book.

[Fro]

I would say it doesn't venture far from his other projects in that it's a gritty but sometimes dull 90s sound. It's his best yet IMO but not quite next level compared to his others and some might prefer 1999. I enjoy it since I love that era and he is a great lyricist. I disagree with s_o_f though, Teach Me (which is a bonus track) is not one of my favorites. that hook and beat are pretty cheesy. Paper Trail$ is an arguable song of the year candidate tho

[Simon]

New track I've just finished with a couple of Canadian dudes, would be interested to know what you lads think.

On first couple of listens the first half is really strong but it drags a little as it goes on. Really solid stuff though, unsurprisingly.

Also, new Cannibal Ox is coming:

I got sad watching the '99 Wrestlemania when they showed Big Pun in attendance. Great rapper or greatest rapper? Dude was the total package aside from a healthy heart.

[Simon]

Certainly great, dunno about greatest, probably most underrated (never talked about alongside the greats) and comfortably makes my top 10 of all time, with Capital Punishment probably scraping top 5 hip-hop albums. Pretty much had it all too, he could run with the gangsta rap stuff but was witty with it ("hit him with a thousand pounds of pressure per slap/make his whole body jerk back/watch the earth crack and hand him his purse back"). I'm a bit of a bumlicker for Pun but yeah he was pure fire, the video for It's So Hard still gets me emotional, much loved in hip-hop by the look of it.

You seen the cypher from years ago with DMX, Mos Def, Canibus and Pun? Pun fucking blows the rest away. Insane.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEB7E1nCV6w

Pun comes in at 5m with the first verse from Dream Shatterer.

[Bert]

Big "struggle bars' Sean.

I like Drake though usually and I like Kanye's old stuff.

I don't like that song though.

I was taking a trip through the music videos on my OnDemand service through my cable provider in a section called "Havoc TV" which has some really good shit spanning 4-5 decades with live performances and actual music videos. Stumbled across the cat who walked out with Stephan Bonnar at the Bellator fight against Tito, a rapper named Stitches. They had his video for "Brick In Yo Face" and holy shit Idk if this dude is a parody or what but it reminded me of that dude who had the Vine videos going "gratata foo foo lame niggaz", super white dude with a Connor McGregor tat on his chest lol. The video was so dumb, dude was wearing a Pinhead mask at one point throwing "cocaine" all over the place, holding up AK-47's and shit. It can't be real can it?

[Chris Dolmeth]

I dunno if anyone here pays attention to the Bay Area, but the Jacka died last night. Never really one that I went out to listen to, but dude was solid.

I'm not much of a fan of his, but he is wild and I can appreciate that.

[Nash Diesel]

I'm not much of a fan of his, but he is wild and I can appreciate that.

Yeah I mean the reason I even bothered to watch was because he came out with Bonnar and did a horrible lyp synch job, it was terrible, and then I'm like wait this dude actually has a video that made it on Havoc? So again, I'm not sure if he's serious or just making fun of rappers idk, either way I can also appreciate it if he's that hardcore. AK 47 tats on his cheeks....And when I first heard the song I thought it was about bashing someone with a brick but naw it's just about a brick of cocaine.

:yes: spittin fire like always. I don't remember the last time I was so eager for an album to drop.

[Bert]

That locksmith verse. Like every locksmith verse.

Guy's got bars.

[G-Fresh]

I don't mind Kendrick when he raps in his angry voice.

[Chris Dolmeth]

So wait, there's a time you don't like him?

[Fro]

my only complaint about kendrick is that he's in the prime of his mid 20s and he's going on 2 and a half years since his last album dropped and we don't even have a title or release date for his next one

[G-Fresh]

So wait, there's a time you don't like him?

Dude is a hella dope lyricist, but I don't like his voice most of the time.

[Chris Dolmeth]

Fair point, he reminds me a lot of Eminem in that way.

[G-Fresh]

This album is gonna be sick.

[son_of_foley]

I'm really enjoying it actually.

Energy and 10 Bands are excellent. 6 God is great too

[McBain]

I like Kendrick's voice a lot. Distinctive.

[Ringo]

Loving both The Blacker the Berry and Kanye's SNL "Wolves" performance.

[Bert]

Sia and Vic Mensa were great in that performance.

[MikeHunt]

I'm really enjoying it actually.

Yup love it.

Another one produced by me, the rapper is a guy from California who I've been listening to for a while and really rate. As always would love to know what people think!

I'm actually a bit in love with this Drake record

[Fro]

I like it too. Young Angel delivered. Especially considering this is supposedly a "get another album out so I can fulfill my deal and jump ship with Weezy" album.

[Badger]

Not sure if this is the right thread to discuss the Afroman situation, but I don't post in here that often. If it's been covered elsewhere I apologise.

Love how he claims that woman put him off and that he thought she was a giy. Just turned around and WHOOPED her! Geez!

[MikeHunt]

i'm stunned that anyone was at an afroman gig in 2015.

[Badger]

Sever lack oh hip hop knowledge coming into pkay here, but all I've listened to is "Because I Got High" and "Crazy Rap." I did hear he turned to the Bible though.

[MikeHunt]

"thou shall smack bitches who grind against me"

afroman 3:16

was some punch mind you.

[Badger]

I know, I read about in the paper at work the other day then got round to seeing the actual video afterwards. Paper didn't do it justice.

[Fro]

Sever lack oh hip hop knowledge coming into pkay here, but all I've listened to is "Because I Got High" and "Crazy Rap." I did hear he turned to the Bible though.

I think there are about 200 people who have heard more than those 2 songs of his. That video is crazy and hilarious. I feel for the chick and she deserves to sue but at the same time she shouldn't have been on the stage to begin with. Granted I don't know the details of that venue and what the normal protocol is but you don't just go on stage at a performance, also where was security? Afroman shouldn't have been in a position where HE had to deal with fans jumping on stage, security should have handled it. Then again he is such a nobody artist that maybe there wasn't any security present.

[Badger]

J and J security would've done a better job.

[Stringer Bell]

Had to pop in and say that the new BADBADNOTGOOD and Ghostface Killah album is fucking incredible. Best Ghost project in a long while, and it's not like he's been dropping duds.

Aside from that I'm hyped for the new Action Bronson album

The Drake mixtape is cool but no real replay value. I'll be listening to Sour Soul for a lot longer. "Know Yourself" is one of the year's best tracks though.

[Bert]

Good shout, Sour Soul is awesome. Even better than Twelve Reasons to Die. Between those two albums Ghost is having an amazing comeback here. Not that he ever went away but I had started to grow bored with him and now he's steady linking up with amazing producers and dropping classics on classics.


All Day is the best single so far.

[Chris Dolmeth]

[JRSlim21]

Been listening via Spotify all day. Fantastic as always.

[Chris Dolmeth]

The only song I didn't like was u

[Nash Diesel]

Heard the new Earl Sweatshirt track "Grief", fuck yes! Dude is fire, probably my favorite emcee to come out in the last 5 years. The new EP, which was supposed to be a "surprise" is going to kill it. His "Doris" record is incredible. Not a huge fan of really anyone else in the Odd Future crew but Earl is the man.

[Bert]

Pretty awesome Kendrick shouted out Killer Mike on Hood Politics.

Not enjoying this album quite as much as everyone else.

I mostly just like the last half but I do like King Kunta and Alright too.

With the first half I get the same annoying feeling I got with Yeezus of not letting the verses breathe a lot of the time and just saying random repetitive shit for no reason.

u is not a good song. It could have been though.

I wanted more songs like the first half of Mortal Man.

I've had Allan Rayman's project Hotel Allan in rotation a lot the past few days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbD-1Rq1b8Q

[MikeHunt]

Kendrick is great. "U" is a pretty piss poor effort though. Anyone heard Heems(das racist) album. Very very good.

[Fro]

I'm still digesting the Kendrick album but I'm surprised to hear so many of you guys shitting on U like it's the worst song on the album or something. It's one of the more vital songs to the narrative and I think it's quite good.

[Bert]

The yelling on it is just so unnecessary and sounds like a high schooler making their first mixtape.

[Fro]

damn you guys trippin. the yelling and emotion is kinda the whole point of that song. and it's the song that's referenced in so many other songs on that repeating interlude.

Found myself screamin' in the hotel room
I didn't wanna self destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin' for answers
Until I came home


the contrast between u and i is a big part of the album. but aside from that, I just think the song is pretty good on its own

[Chris Dolmeth]

I just can't stand his voice on that one. Legit hard for me to listen to.

[Fro]

it's the darkest point of the album, basically he's in a drunken depression and contemplating suicide in a hotel room by himself. the voice and tone of the song is perfect. IMO.

[Chris Dolmeth]

I get that, still hard for me to listen to though.

King Kunta is my shit though.

[Ringo]

I'm still digesting the Kendrick album but I'm surprised to hear so many of you guys shitting on U like it's the worst song on the album or something. It's one of the more vital songs to the narrative and I think it's quite good.

Spot on :yes:

The record is great. Although I think it's probably a notch or two behind GKMC, having had it on repeat for the last few days.

Favourite track is probably between These Walls and TBTB. Loving Complexion right now which I wasn't so into at first.

[JRSlim21]

Yea I'm loving King Kunta and These Walls. Great album.

Peepin out the new Ludacris right now. Actually a lot better than I expected.

[Nash Diesel]

I don't go out of my way to listen to Ludacris but I respect the fuck out of his hustle to get where he's at. Going from radio dj to selling his records out of his trunk to some decent supporting roles in movies.

[Simon]

Nothing wrong with Ludacris. He's never going to drop anything conscious the way Nas did or Kendrick does, but he's about as good as pop-rap gets. Hard beats and consistently great punchlines.

[G-Fresh]

He can rap his ass off. That doesn't mean he makes good music. Just like Tech N9ne.

[Nash Diesel]

Nothing wrong with Ludacris. He's never going to drop anything conscious the way Nas did or Kendrick does, but he's about as good as pop-rap gets. Hard beats and consistently great punchlines.

I'll admit I have really no memory of any Ludacris music since "Move Bitch, get out the way", I know he did a song with Justin Bieber, but the first couple hits he had I was feeling. Like you said, hard beats, great punchlines, I like his voice and delivery. I always liked his track "Fat Rabbit", Timbaland production is usually a win-win for me dating back to that Timbaland and Magoo stuff.



He can rap his ass off. That doesn't mean he makes good music. Just like Tech N9ne.

I agree with that. For every good Tech song there's about 2 albums worth that just sound the exact same and while I think Tech is very talented it's like how I feel about guitarists like Steve Vai. Can play the shit out of a guitar but their songs suck.

While I disagree on Steve Vai having sucky songs, I completely agree on Tech N9ne. After Absolute power, it feels like he has so much filler, and even on that album and some of his older stuff, there's so much garbage surrounding the gems. I think Anghellic is the only album of his I fully appreciate.

[Fro]

so kendrick originally called his album to pimp a caterpillar (get it, 2pac?). probably best that he changed it cuz that's slightly corny but it would have been kinda cool. this album has steady grown on me with every listen and I now think it's really tremendous. likely AOTY shoe in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdBhaeMoLrA


His debut album comes out June 2nd. That's his first collaboration with a big hip-hop act, and he's playing a show with Ghostface, GZA and Cappadonna on Sunday. Produces his own beats, is just barely 18/19, and he gets better with every release. The kid's got fire.

The rest of the BKR$CLB group is tight, too, but Fresco's the starting point. I think he's gonna end up getting pretty big in time.

That is BOOMING. Can imagine that will sound unreal in the car

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRkP-rplNjs

[Nash Diesel]

Have you seen the recent footage circulating of the singer from Puddle having a breakdown a few songs in their set and leaving the venue? I know the dude has had some serious issues in the past. Stitches....He's the type of idiot that will do the Gathering and tweeker juggalos will be all about, yet they'll chuck bricks and shit at legends like Redman and Method Man.

I LOVE TO SELL BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW (well it's actually flour but it looks the same!)

[Psycho666Soldier]

Fucking Stitches. That dude is laughably bad.

I GOT THAT BRICK IN YO FACE! NOW WATCHA GON' DOOOOOO WIT IT?!

[Nash Diesel]

I first saw him do a horrid lyp sync job during the walkout for Stephan Bonnar in his fight with Tito Ortiz in Bellator last year, so all I could hear was "I put that brick in yo face" over and over. I figured it was a fight song lol. Then I saw the video on Music Choice and couldn't help but die laughing. Dude in a Pinhead mask throwing "blow" around. Then to watch his live performance footage and the fans he attracts....Kill me for ever picking up the mic.

[G-Fresh]

Happy 420 ya'll.

saw atmosphere last night

b. dolan opened up for him

i liked him

bought an album

[MikeHunt]

Earl, Tyler and death grips. WOW! That is all.

[Ringo]

Kanye changed the name of his album to SWISH. :\

[Fro]

I saw that. He also said it's still tentative and no one knows if it's an acronym or not so I wouldn't put too much stake in it. I thought Take Care was the stupidest album title ever but that shit was the mad notes

The new Snoop is about 84 times better than I expected. Summer. Vibes.

Also, this new ASAP song featuring ROD STEWART AND MIGUEL:

[Nash Diesel]

Hy-Zaya?? That's fucking awesome.

Take out Stitches, Waka, Boondox, ABK, AMB, and Big hoodoo and that's a pretty damn good lineup compared to previous years. And I'm sure this isn't the entire list of performers as they tend to have about 20 "no name" horrorcore acts like Scum performing on a small stage 20 miles away from the main stage lol.

[G-Fresh]

G-Mo Skee, F. Dux, 50 Shades of Snuff (SCUM, Liquid Assassin, Smallz One, Dark Half, Insane Poetry), Sketchy Waze, American Overdose, Swag Toof, Lo Key, Jack Ledger, Molly Gruesome, Trizz, Slop Musket, Ill Patientz, MBK, Underground Fight Club, T-Ryde, Trip C, Tre Mob Records, Scrub King, Illest Uminati, FREEZE, Stenjoddi, Snake Iiz & Daville, Wil E.

The Fallen, Windy City Music, Donnie Menace, City Limits, The Moonmen, & Neurotic November.

[Chris Dolmeth]

Hana 50 Shades of Snuff

[Nash Diesel]

What pisses me off is that Insane Poetry are legends, at least to me, Cyco and the crew were doing some darker stuff back in the early early 90's and they don't get a 10th of the respect they deserve. Part of me thinks its because Cyco fucks with LSP and while they move quite a bit of merch and cd's, they're still considered underground horrorcore.com rappers. You won't see Scum on the main stage, but damn man you should see Insane Poetry on the main stage. But the same fucking shit happened when Mastamind of Natas wanted a spot on the main stage and they were like "naw", like Esham was the only dude worth a damn from that crew lol. Yet they'll let Tila Tequila get a main stage spot.

Rant over. For now.

Kendrick performing Alright at the BET Awards is powerful shit and has a new verse at the end.

[Nash Diesel]

Dr. Dre's The Chronic, arguably the best rap album of all time, definitely in my top 10.

[Fro]

I prefer The Chronic 2001 but both are classics.

[Chris Scott]

I'm with Fro on that one.

Past 4 weeks I've listening to Yelawolf and MGK, first thought not for me but as I always do I listen to the albums at least 5 times. I actually really like both of them especially Yelawolf.

[G-Fresh]

The Chronic is way better.

[Chris Scott]

Each to their own but I wouldn't say it's way better. 2001 was a quality album and I prefare it over The Chronic but not by much.

[G-Fresh]

The Chronic is a top 5 classic. 2001 has like 5 good songs. Plus Fag boy Eminem is on it.

[Donald]

I've only listened to 2001, never the Chronic. 2001 is half good/ok songs, half passable music.

[Chris Scott]

The Chronic is a top 5 classic. 2001 has like 5 good songse 5 good songs. Plus Fag boy Eminem is on it.

I'll have to dust off my Chronic album and give it another listen, I was brought up on old school stuff too. I just remember getting Chronic 2001 loving it and playing it forever.


I've only listened to 2001, never the Chronic. 2001 is half good/ok songs, half passable music.

Try it see what you think.

[G-Fresh]

The Chronic and Murder Was The Case were my favorite rap CDs when I was in elementary school. I haven't given oldschool Snoop a listen in a long while. Dude was fuckin amazing back in the day. I pretty much quit listening to him when he signed with No Limit.

[Chris Scott]

No Way blast from the past with Murder Was The Case, I remember when I was in senior school and my mate had the album used to go around every Thursday to blast hip hop albums and that was always played.

[G-Fresh]

I consider Natural Born Killaz the first ever mainstream horrorcore song. It's one of the precursors that turned me into the juggalo I am today.

[son_of_foley]

Vince Staples new album is pretty good

[Nash Diesel]

The issue I have with Chronic 2001 is that it just didn't live up to the wait lol. It had sick beats, but like DVDA said maybe 5 songs on it were good if that. The Chronic flowed together so well and pretty much every song and the skits were top notch. 2001 just felt like it could've been better but like the first one, it also seemed to showcase Dre's new artists like Xzibit and Eminem so that was kind of cool.

[Stringer Bell]

Chronic 2001 was a masterpiece. Maybe it hasn't aged so well but to act like it wasn't fucking monumental is silly.

What's everyone's favorite album of 2015 so far?

[Fro]

I would have to say it's still To Pimp A Butterfly

[Fro]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQeZDzO_AgQ

[McBain]

I would have to say it's still To Pimp A Butterfly

I'm still struggling to get into it as much as his other efforts. Some great tracks but too many interludes for my tastes.

Favourite tracks gotta be King Kunta or Blacker the Berry though.

[Fro]

I haven't been keeping up with hip hop but I just downloaded:

Vince Staples - Summertime 06
Lil Wayne - Sorry 4 the Wait 2
Raekwon - FILA
At Long Last A$AP
Czarface - Every Hero Needs a Villain
Southpaw Soundtrack

will report back in a few days. also I love this album cover:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/Czarface_Every_Hero_Needs_a_Villain.jpg

[Ringo]

I haven't been listening to much 2015 stuff either lately.

TPAB is obviously #1. Pilot Talk III, If You're Reading This and Snoop's Bush have probably got the most listens after that. Oh and the Ugly Mane tape but that's different. B4.DA.$$ is solid but I haven't returned to it in a while. Same with the Lupe album.

Mr. Wonderful has a couple of fun songs but much of the record is incredibly annoying. FILA was blah.

Still to give a proper go:
Czarface, Summertime '06, the ASAP, DS2 and Barter 6.

[Slare]

Anyone ever listened to Lazy Habits? just discovered on Spotify last night and enjoying it quite a bit.

[Fro]

Vince Staples new album is pretty good

Only on disc 1 but loving it. Vince Staples is the man

[son_of_foley]

Meek mill and drake... go!

[Chris Scott]

They should have a fight.

[G-Fresh]

They should slice each others vocal cords.

[Chris Scott]

Agree with that.

[Hero!]

I love the track Drake dropped today. That twitter line was killer.

RUMORZ are saying that nicki won't let meek release his diss track. LOL, what a load of bs. Meek ran his mouth and now he can't back it up.

Any of you listen to the Breakfat Club in the morning? I think Charlamagn is gonna have a heart attack if Meek doesn't do something.

[JRSlim21]

I could care less about 2 overrated rappers (there I said it).

In all honesty, this beef is ridiculous. Like I told my friend, wake me up if Kendrick decides to have a beef with Killer Mike.

[Chris Scott]

Hero, just heard the Drake track not bad. On the beats 1 radio on Apple, the dude said apparently rumours are Meek is releasing something tonight.

[Fro]

I like this beef. I like just about any beef really because I think the competition brings out the best in rappers and battling is a huge part of hip hop's roots. Even if it ends up being wack who cares. Plus I like the drama of it- especially in this case with Nicki in the middle since her and Drake are label mates and frequent collaborators and who knows if they banged. I like Drake's music but he's not a battle rapper by any means and Meek is annoying but whatever, let em diss each other. Drake's tracks have been solid.

[Fro]

Damn Meek just dropped a diss track and released a bunch of Quentin Miller-recorded reference tracks for Drake songs. The streets is talking.

DEEP WATER whewwwww

[Miotch]

It is absolute fire.

[Fro]

I can't even believe this happened and how hard it delivered. The trilogy is complete, and pretty much untouchable.

[Miotch]

This album is such a departure I think you're going to have a very difficult time calling this a trilogy.

[RuneEdge]

Yeah, this sounds different from what I expected. Especially compared to the few singles he released from the old Detox album.

[Clive Plasma]

Need to give this a listen tonight. Just nabbed tickets for one of the UK Premieres for Straight Outta Compton too.

[Chris Scott]

Yeah, this sounds different from what I expected. Especially compared to the few singles he released from the old Detox album.

It does doesn't it.

Still loved the album, listened to it twice now.

[Chris Scott]

3rd listen this album is open fire. I was expecting G funk/ 2001 beats and features, but when I listened to it again damn, production is hot and Dr. Dre went all in on his verses. Snoop killed that verse in One Shot One kill(biggest surprise of the album, lol), and the new talent Dr.Dre recruited on the album(Jon Connor, Anderson Paak, King Mez) just proves that hip-hop is in good hands after Dr.Dre leaves the game.

[Chris Dolmeth]

Haven't had a chance to listen to it all yet, but I fuckin love it :yes:

[MikeHunt]

This album is such a departure I think you're going to have a very difficult time calling this a trilogy.

how?

[Chris Dolmeth]

I love how everyone on it brings their A game. Shit, Snoop's verse in One Shot One Kill is the best I've heard from him in decades.

[G-Fresh]

I still haven't listened. The only tracks a really care to hear are the ones with Snoop and Cold 187. The rest of them dudes can fuck off.

[Chris Dolmeth]

Still not diggin Kendrick, huh?

[G-Fresh]

I can't get past his voice.

[Chris Scott]

I love how everyone on it brings their A game. Shit, Snoop's verse in One Shot One Kill is the best I've heard from him in decades.

Brilliant verse that in it.


I can't get past his voice.

Ive never liked him and don't like how he sounds too, but for some reason I didn't mind him on the album.

[Chris Dolmeth]

Kendrick has the best verse on the album.

[Chris Scott]

Which bit?

[Chris Dolmeth]

Deep Water

[G-Fresh]

Killah Priest posted on FB that Sean Price died. WTF

[Miotch]

how?
I guess to me the first two albums have a common sound, were more light hearted in general, and I would call them 'fun' albums start to finish.

This is definitely not that. The production ranges from track to track, and it's really a commentary on the forgotten and ignored black ghettos of Los Angeles. They're right though when they say that everyone brought their A game. Even Eminem has probably his best verse in over a decade.

[Fro]

I saw a reddit comment that summed up the album well, especially the difference between it and his first 2 albums:


This album lacks anthems. It lacks those epic classic Dre singles that still rock car stereos 15 or 25 years later. There's no Still DRE, Next Episode, Forgot About Dre, Nuthin But A G Thang, Let's Ride, or Dre Day. And that is mainly because a lot of the songs are too "busy", there's little in the way of traditional song structure, songs have different hooks, bridges, codas, different breaks between verses, songs are all over the place. The song structuring is reminiscent of TPAB but even more scatter shot. It makes for a good and interesting album, and this album works best as an album (as in listened to as a whole) but by themselves these songs are not anthems. But the album is consistent and never bad, or even really average. Its consistently very good, with production that is meant to bang out of good car stereos or high quality headphones. The album is very Kendrick influenced with the raps as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Kendrick wrote all of Dre's raps on this. Dre goes slow than fast than slow again, does "voices", does multiple flows, seems like Dre's voice was probably even altered on post (to make it seem higher; it was definitely altered in some places to add those vocal effects and echoes and shit). The album is 2001 evolved to 2015 spliced with GKMC/TPAB with a dash of Anderson Paak.

[Chris Scott]

Yep makes sense that.

[Nash Diesel]

Killah Priest posted on FB that Sean Price died. WTF

Truly a sad day. Heltah Skeltah was the shit, so was Random Axe. I actually think Random Axe's album is one of my favorite rap albums of all time.

Thanks for all the kind, loving uplifting words of encouragement and appreciation. . Its this connection that brought me this far and its what will make continuing on effortless. I never wanted to stop doing KMK but have been forced to make this decision out of respect for myself.Its a long long list of reasons . One dudes delusional vision and a couple followers that wouldn't even speak up for me or have my back..these are guys I would of died for , guys I let practically live at my house from time to time. Its takes 2: to have brotherhood & it takes more than one to have family,if im the only one with enough heart or balls to say what is soooo obviously wrong with with our group and the way its being run then I gotta go. Yall dont want me involved in shit and wanna tell me lies, keep secrets.and actually never come with any contracts or paperwork.

so The Game released The Documentary 2 and The Documentary 2.5. Basically it's a double disc but he released them 1 at a time, a week apart. Anyway I copped the first disc because I heard good things and it's really good. It has a couple lulls in the second half but all in all definitely worth a listen. The first 9 tracks are great. I haven't listened to disc 2 yet (2.5) but he said the first disc was supposed to be more for the fans and the second disc for himself.

Meek Mill just racking up those losses

What happened now

[Hero!]

On the breakfast club yesterday, they asked Wale about the meek/drake thing and Wale said that Meek brought a pencil to a gun fight. Meek responded by crying about it on Instagram and saying that he was gonna kick Wale off the label. Rick Ross just shut him down by posting a video saying that Wale is not getting kicked off the record and he's squashing the beef for them.

Meek just keeps swinging, but can't hit a damn thing.
