did y'all pick up that new Ghostface Brown Tape?
Got my copy today along with a comic book, issue 2 of Twelve Reasons to Die. |
![]() I can't wait till Electric Lady drops.. This single is that hot shit. This is when art-rap works. Fantastic! As always, I don't think an artist has been this genuinely creative and into making music videos since Kurt Cobain |

No, I haven't made an order yet. How does it compare? Oh fuck I'm so goddamn anxious to get my hands on that comic book, as I never did get the deluxe edition of the original. Tell me about it. |

Fucking Erykah is great! Though I was disappointed by WWU... which was a surprise. I should give it another chance. |
Oh, by the way? I've been forced to reorder the Kanye albums. Still listening to Yeezus like crazy, and I've decided where it fits in my "best to worst" (not that there's really a "worst"). Observe:
1. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 2. Graduation 3. Yeezus 4. 808s & Heartbreak 5. Late Registration 6. The College Dropout (sorry, but he's just come so far... This sounds almost ordinary at this point) |
Quote:
this is pretty much my list too, though 1&2 MIGHT get swapped. oh and Watch The Throne would be above 808s. |

can't really rank my fav Ye albums, shit changes every week. |
Trap Lord tracklist:
1. Let It Go 2. Shabba - Featuring A$AP Rocky 3. Lord - Featuring Bone Thugs-n-Harmony 4. Hood Pope 5. Fergivicious 6. 4:02 7. Dump Dump 8. Work (Remix) - Featuring A$AP Rocky / French Montana / Trinidad James & Schoolboy Q 9. Didn't Wanna Do That 10. Murda Something - Featuring Waka Flocka Flame 11. Make A Scene 12. Fuck Out My Face - Featuring D-Real / Onyx & Aston Matthews 13. Cocaine Castle can't wait!! |

Hmm... I dont think of WTT as a proper Ye album, and I wouldn't include it (or GOOD music) in a Kanye albums list, but maybe I should. If I did, I'd have to rethink the whole damn thing! Such a great album. Pivotal. |
i love The College Dropout so much. Spaceship, Breathe In Breathe Out, Through the Wire - all fantastic songs.

Public Enemy: 'Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar aren't hip-hop'
"I think the element of hip-hop left when rap music started being created on a slow tempo," claimed Flavor Flav. "It's just stayed there for years. Right now, a lot of rap music today is being created at very low tempos. "There's no more of that 'Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care' - you know, something that makes you wanna get out there and breakdance," he added. "Rap music has lost that element right now, mainly over in America. There's not too many great hip-hop records out there, but there are some great rap records. Lil Wayne is making some great rap records, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Snoop [Dogg] - everybody is making great rap records, but it's not hip-hop." His bandmate Chuck D, meanwhile, said: "If you love hip-hop, ask yourself why. We've done it around the world for 26 years in 90 countries and we have our reasons - but we think it should be along the lines of Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and Bobby Womack. It should be able to cover all aspects. When it's just about 'I got money and you don't have money', that's just taking advantage of the naivety of people." ![]() Read more at http://www.nme.com/news/public-enemy...ZshgzxCqW3m.99 |
lmao old people.

Haha. See what that mainstream will do ya? Get you into a polemic debate with your partner and everythan!!
I would just like to put it rest, not only is Jay-Z NOT Hip-Hop, that ninja can't even rap. Evidence, exhibit (a) Dude, what is he mumbling there? Incoherent babble like he just had a stroke yo! |
Jay Z and Kanye are the new MC Hammer's.
|
apparently somebody tried to transcribe Jay-Z's part down and mistakenly call them "lyrics", it makes even less sense reading it then trying to listen to him Sanford and Son mumble mouth through that shit. Poor Justin Timberlake, that ninja ruined his otherwise fly jam!
|
how was Yeezus a disappointment?
|
Quote:
![]() I know, Hammer must be pissed yo ;) |
Yeezus was a disappointment for people who thought it was a disappointment. If they m have it a fair listen, I'm not going to judge.
But I do not agree at all. In fact, I still have it above 12 Reasons..., which is saying a hell of a lot for me. It's nothing like what I expected, and that's awesome. I still can't dig the title really, but I don't think there's a weak track on that album. In other words, maybe it disappointed some people, but I think it won over more. Great album, one of the best of the year. |

yeah, i think that the more interesting part is he said "Lil Wayne is making some great rap records, Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, 50 Cent, Snoop [Dogg] - everybody is making great rap records". haha really?!?! i thought Snoop changed his name to Snoop Lion and started attempting to do reggae?

Quote:
my fav tracks are Blood on the Leaves, I'm in It, Guilt Trip, Bound and Black Skinhead. |
and i'm pretty crazy about the new Weeknd singles.
he's making an album inspired by Portishead and 80's horror/sci-fi classics such as The Thing and Blade Runner = WOW. he and Drake going to kill it this year just like 2011 all over again. |

THIS is the best MCHG review ever. actually, every review this guy does kills me. :D |
Quote:
No, that's not a fact. It's a great album. "Hold my Liquor" and "Blpod on the Leaves" absolutely do not suck by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the rhymes are "meh" but that album is solid as hell, and I don't love it because it sucks. I love it because it's a great album... Don't go all hater on Me now. |
Hard Knock Life - Jay Z.
straight MC HAMMER BULLSHIT |
Quote:
Chuck D means "rap" like MC Hammer was "rap" and Vanilla Ice was "rap". As opposed to Hip Hop. he means disposable, dance-friendly, music for the white teens to listen to and think they got soul. |
Quote:
You can't dance to East Coast hip-hop, that shit is all talking and yelling. You can only dance to West-Coast rap, that shit has pure backyard boogie yo! |
MC Hammer was Oaktown. west coast

Niki Manaj can crush it, but she has yet to do so on her own LP. She out-rhymed Jay-Z on "Monster," but sounded like the female Eminem (especially when "barking" with Eminem himself on their terrible little duet). I still have faith in Wayne. It's said that he has been making such boring production decisions since the iconic Carter III. He is just an amazing rapper, and it would be one hell of a let down if his best days were already behind him. As for Snoop- the guy has become a stoner culture figurehead. Nobody listens to his music anymore. The last thing I choose to remember is Doggfather. But shit- maybe I'll give Snoop Lion a chance. (Must admit that I have a soft spot for reggae. Though no one's touched it since my last mushroom trip) |
Quote:
Luda used to be amazing, but now he'd rather act in Fast & Furious movies and work with.. Justin Bieber? 50 Cent - i miss him. Get Rich or Die Tryin'.. you guys already know how much i like that album. this is one of my fav songs ever - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FhVdohucJ4. plus he still drops a decent track every now and then. Wayne.. :(. Snoop Lion sucks. |
Quote:
Sighs. While I could careless about Nikki Manaj, I will say this, her embracing entirely of the empty and sterile pop music scene when quite clearly she is something resembling an artist (maybe not musically) is symptomatic of the overall decline in rap and hip hop music in the past 10-15 years. The mainstream killed it so much that rap music is the background for kids shows, they be hip hop on Sesame Street now (and not just in imitation of the Electric Company).. Rap was popular, but artists avoided that pop music suicide where you give in entirely to being just a commodity. Quote:
Don't be hating on the Bieb yo. Quote:
The guy was terrible, always was terrible, I never knew what the fuck the Game was doing over there, glad he got dissed and came to his westcoast senses. Quote:
He does actually, but lets give him credit. At first this all just looked like some crassly commercial thing, but increasingly it looks sincere, like Snoop is honestly trying to be something affiliated with positive lifestyle of Rastafari, however he is already a marketed image, the marketing baggage comes with Snoop as a package whatever he does, even if he just retired. So I'm going to wait and reserve judgment, both as a Snoop fan since grade school and a card-carrying Rastafari.. |
i love Game. but i wasn't really feeling that Jesus Piece album.

Quote:
No, that album was terrible. He tried way to hard to have this concept album where he bridged the gap between Church and gangsta shit like promiscuous women, drug dealing, and shoot outs. While that worked very very well on tracks like"Let us Live" "Why You Hate the Game" "Walk Thru The Sky" "Letter to the King" "It's OK (One Blood)" "Angel" Truth Rap" are all both conscious, political, and even religious tunes that blend the street vibe authentically, sincerely, and come across as genuine. When Game sat down and tried to write an album that was entirely based on the concept behind tracks like those, it was an epic fail. The only thing fly about that album was the cover art. I mean, the tracks were listenable, but on paper it was supposed to be a bad ass album, like all of those tracks I posted above combined like Vultron. I always liked Game because like Pac he sometimes spoke the real and put out some conscious music blended with Gangsta rap, sort of like how Dead Prez be "revolutionary but G" in proportion. See I grew up hanging about with a bunch of gangsters, doing a bunch of low-life gangster shit, and so I can relate, but I'm also ridiculously conscious and a man of deep Faith, so I need my music to reflect both at the same time.. |
Snoop Lion's reggae music is the worst kind of cliche' sing-songy riddim-wanna-be bullshit.

It is. Its terrible in fact. But I think he was trying, albeit not hard enough ;) |
