    I highly doubt Em will diss Jay Electronica but it would be awesome if he did. I love Jay Elec but it would be the lowest hanging fruit diss target. The guy's 41 years old and has never put out an album. Em could kill him with 2 bars.

    And if he induced Jay Elec to write and release a new song that would be incredible too.

    Em keep firing shots!! No one cares about MGK but if Em beefed with Jay E the internet would explode (in a good way).

    so Kanye announced a new album Yandhi for 9/29 and also a collab album with Chance the Rapper "Good Ass Job" which was what he planned to call his 4th album after Graduation way back in the day. I'm not huge on Chance (I don't dislike him I just think Coloring Book was way overrated) but his style fits the old College Dropout style pretty well with all the choir type tracks he does. Very excited for both these projects.

    Yandhi would appear to be a sequel to Yeezus.

    Someone needs to tell Kanye to stick to beats. Maybe do some Danger Mouse approach where he makes all the music and then gets a guest or multiple guests. Dude hasn't appealed one bit to me on the mic since "Through The Wire". I'm not into his robo-auto tune vocals and his flow is whack.

    Someone needed to tell Da Vinci to stick to science. Dude hasn't appealed to me one bit since Annunciation.

    I don't fuck with art so I have no clue what that even means. If it's defending Kanye as a vocalist/rapper, I at least know that Kanye is not Da Vinci on the mic.

    mona lisa is a song of the year candidate IMO

    but I fuck with the whole album, even though it's super long. I only listened once but there were only a couple tracks that felt flat to me

    holy shit, kendrick fans, this fan made "EP" of leaks is fucking great. it's old leftovers mainly from the GKMC era but a few from TPAB. very good stuff. his leftovers are better than other rappers albums.

    Don't know all the ins and outs of how youtube ads work, but I really hope Monistat is the official sponsor of that vid and not just a one-off.

    Love it. On first listen wasn't too sure, just didn't connect fully with his previous material. But a few listens in and I get where he's coming from on this one and how it's theme ties in with his usual approaches lyrically and vibe-wise. It's still Vince in so many ways, just wrapped up in this summertime block theme. And it's pretty fuckin dope. Especially 'Feels Like Summer'. And the vid for Fun! is outta there as fuck too.

    Bushwick Bill having a deadly battle with cancer right now. It was announced earlier today that he's dead, but it seems he's still alive in the hospital right now.

    Shame, I was going to see one of their last shows, too.

    Yeah man Bushwick Bill. The Jesus of the dark arts in rap. Although I do remember some footage of Bill suddenly being a Christian rapper and all he was doing was reading scripture over a beat lol. Then he went back to killing and maiming ninjas. Love the song he did with Twiztid and Anybody Killa off the Green Book album.

    The album Igor by Tyler the Creator has gotten a lot of praise, and rightfully so. It's very good. His best album in my eyes. Doesn't have the hard thumping bangers of his early work but just very good from start to finish and tells a nice narrative. The lack of rapping threw me off somewhat on first listen but now I'm feeling the vibes.

    Like a bunch of spoken word, just beats, singing? I haven't bothered to listen to this dude since he collabed with Pusha T. Earl Sweatshirt was cool in that whole mix, then his balls dropped and his voice changed and didn't hit me like it on tracks like Orange Juice.

    My boy Frank is a super fan of these dudes though but I just could never buy in to what they were about. I don't know, the dude collabed with Miley and I was just like....word up lol.

    My boy Frank is a super fan of these dudes though but I just could never buy in to what they were about. I don't know, the dude collabed with Miley and I was just like....word up lol.
    There are rap verses just not a lot. The production is what shines through the most, it's really excellent. A lot of synth but he mixes in a ton of sounds and styles. There is singing and samples laced throughout and it none of it overstays its welcome. The tracks are short and sweet.

    It's not like most Odd Future music. It's Tyler evolved.

    The album follows a narrative of a love triangle where Tyler is seeing a person who is at the same time still seeing his ex-girlfriend, who's pulling him back to her and away from Tyler.

    Have you heard Flower Boy, Fro? He started going that direction heavily on that album. Took a moment for me to appreciate it, but like you said, the production really shines as you adjust to all the different, non-rap stuff Tyler is doing.

    Haven't heard Igor yet, but I'm definitely at least curious.

    I think I only listened to it once. I should and plan to revisit it now that Igor has my fandom of Tyler revitalized.

    So this dude did a concept album where he's bisexual? Did I read that right?

    He did a concept album. And I think he is a bisexual person in reality. The gender of his lover on the album might never be explicitly stated, just implied. The person pulling the lover away from Tyler is certainly a woman. My understanding is that the lover is a man. It's really not about that though. It's just a relationship/breakup album.

    And to clarify, I wasn't saying this is evolved Tyler because it's a bisexual story. It's Tyler evolved because the music is so damn good and compelling (IMO). I just happened to throw the narrative of the album at the end of my post to give you an idea of what it's about.

    Oh I was just thinking that was pretty cool if that was the approach he was taking.

    I'll have to give it a listen. Again I'm not super high on Tyler the Creator, but he's impressed me several times.

    Good shouts. Between those and Quelle Chris, Tyler, and Gibbs & Madlib it's been a strong year. Danny Brown just dropped the first single (and video) from his new album which is out soon too. Can't wait for that. Not to mention the new JPEG which is out in a few days. First single may be SOTY.

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.
    Have you heard any recent Everlast? I enjoy most of it.

    I like it too. "God Is" is one of my favorite tracks and a nicely written christian tune but I wish he re-recorded the vocals to not sound so hoarse. I'm sure it's intentional to give it a vulnerable/gritty sound but Kanye has a nice singing voice so it's a shame he sounds like needs to clear his throat at many parts of this song. He holds the melody well otherwise.

    New Ye video with his dad in Wyoming is cute.

    New Gang Starr record and everything surrounding the release (the videos, the story behind it with DJ Premier sitting down to start making beats with Guru's ashes on his desk) is just so lovely.

    Hey guys. The new Gang Starr album is really good. Why didn’t you tell me about it sooner

    I was quite disappointed with it - I expected the vocals to be shit because when has a posthumous album made of scraps of recordings ever worked, but I was surprised at how dull I found Premo's beats. The only track I still find myself listening to regularly is Family And Loyalty. Maybe I should give it more time.

    Favourite non-Gang Starr Premo beats lads?

    Common - The Sixth Sense
    Bumpy Knuckles - B.A.P.
    Xzibit - What A Mess, Eyes May Shine (Remix)
    Nas - Nas Is Like, NY State Of Mind
    Evidence - You
    CNN - Invincible
    Fat Joe - The Shit Is Real (Remix)
    Big L - MVP (Remix)
    Ludacris - MVP
    Group Home - Livin' Proof
    Non Phixion - Rock Stars
    Biggie - Ten Crack Commandments
    REKS - Say Goodnight
    Rakim - When I B On Tha Mic
    The Four Owls - Think Twice

    Purple Haze 2 by Cam’Ron is quite good. Definitely a strong recommend for those who were fans of early 2000s Cam.

    Hi, Fro! What have I missed over the last six years or however long it's been? Hopefully a few discussions on why Run The Jewels are the best.

    Glad to see this group is still active and stored all my dumb opinions over the years.

    This album was so dope, and I haven't heard anything really about who is going to be on his next one. He threw some of us off by posting a picture of French Montana looking like RA on his new album.

    I have to imagine, at the very least, AFRO will be on it and probably Vinnie Paz in some capacity.

    I grew up on 90’s rap, loved it and glad I did best out there. I liked early 2000’s rap stuff too but man this new generation nowadays and from the last ten years I just can’t get into it. I’ve tried and tried but it just does nothing for me.

    It's actually a pretty good jam. The original beat he wanted use is better, though. You can find it on YouTube.

    RA the Rugged Man's new shit. Beat is fire. Dude even made a GYMKATA reference. I always felt bad for sleeping on this dude, but then I heard a song of his on one of those Eastern Conference compilations back in 2003-2004 and yeah, dude is DOPE AS FUCK.

    Ok so this Eminem album is good IMO. I'm pretty sure I like it more than Kamikaze, which I liked. These beats are easily better than Kamikaze and his flow is a little better. The song writing is probably equal. The Alfred Hitchcock interludes and features are good, and there's hardly any crap female vocal hooks. Yes there's a Skylar Gray feature but just 1 so that kinda sound doesnt overpower you like many of his past recent albums. Stepdad is a pretty clear sequel song to "Framed", which was one of the most popular songs from Revival. The flow and style are so similar on those two, which is fine tho it makes Stepdad feel like a retread. Black Thought and Q-Tip have real nice features on Yah Yah, though the high pitched mechanical snare part of that beat is a little annoying.

    I like it, though I'm not obsessed with it. I was very late in the game on Mac Miller, having only appreciated a handful of his songs prior to his passing. I've since been gradually going through his catalog. Currently really digging GO:OD AM.

    But yea Circles has that chill, morose kinda vibe. I like him more when he's a bit more upbeat but I dig it. Good News is my jam.

    Not sure if you got near any of the recommendations but here's some freddie gibbs on youtube. This will give you a taste like. His other stuff is a bit 'harder' but the fucking madlib sound is insane when it's on. Jesus christ

    For you fans of Cage, the dude has totally embraced the dark side that he tried to stray from early on in his career when people would label him a "horrorcore" rapper. Now the guy is putting out music that sounds like something out of Esham's early 90's catalog or even cats like Bedlam and KGP.

    He released "Death Miracles" early (original release Feb 18th) due to tracks already leaking which is weird because he isn't even on a label so who the fuck is leaking his entire album? I would say if he was pressing physicals (I think he is vinyl but not cd's) then I could see that as a lot of times the reason shit leaks is due to the people at the pressing companies doing it (so I'm told by snake label heads).

    So cop that shit, keep him alive!

    Started to get through some stuff, I’m really liking it. I heard a bit of Freddie Gibbs but didn’t see this, DAM this is sweet.

    Favourite non-Gang Starr Premo beats lads?

    Common - The Sixth Sense
    Bumpy Knuckles - B.A.P.
    Xzibit - What A Mess, Eyes May Shine (Remix)
    Nas - Nas Is Like, NY State Of Mind
    Evidence - You
    CNN - Invincible
    Fat Joe - The Shit Is Real (Remix)
    Big L - MVP (Remix)
    Ludacris - MVP
    Group Home - Livin' Proof
    Non Phixion - Rock Stars
    Biggie - Ten Crack Commandments
    REKS - Say Goodnight
    Rakim - When I B On Tha Mic
    The Four Owls - Think Twice
    Circling back to this. If I go just on beats and samples, not on the quality of rapping (though obviously there is a lot of crossover), the ones that stand out would be:

    Recognize by The Lox (so so good)
    NY State of Mind for sure, I mean this is one of the best beats ever.
    10 Crack Commandments
    Courtesy by PRhyme
    Nas is Like (amazing instrumental)
    N 2 Gether Now by Limp Bizkit/Method Man.
    Royce - Boom
    Big L - The Enemy
    Nas - Memory Lane (I love the smooth Premo in addition to the typical boom bat Premo)
    Jay-Z - So Ghetto
    PRhyme - To Me, To You
    Bun B - Let Em Know

    the fact that Premo gave one of his greatest beats to Limp Bizkit is funny. Granted, at least they've got Method Man on there who murders it. I hope Limp Bizkit paid through the nose to get that incredible hip hop combo (Premo/Meth) on their album.

    British comedian Romesh Ranganathan (who I'm not generally much of a fan of) does a podcast called Hip-Hop Saved My Life, interviewing a guest about their relationship with hip-hop growing up etc. It's excellent. They've had some really good guests lately (Louis Theroux, Frankie Boyle, Lil Simz, Kano, MC Harvey) but the cream of the crop was DJ Premier last month. Really fascinating hearing in his own words how he ended up getting the Guru tapes off of Solar, having to sneak into the hospital to see Guru before he died because he wasn't allowed access, etc. Recommend.
