That list is full of shit and yet I still find myself seeing them rank E-40 in the top-20 and saying, "Heard that!"

Game went hard on this new freestyle, check it out: http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/tyga-chi...g.1890480.html

if you're talking about C4 and IANAHB2 era then yeah, his punchlines are kinda weak on those albums.
but back in the day he was witty, his verses on "Mr. Carter" aren't the best indication.

"3 Peat" and "Let The Beat Build" are some of the best displays of technical rapping ever. period.
and his music was so happy!! except for the occassional conscious/emotional song, which was amazing anyway.

dude could rap over any type of beat and kill it, whether it was a cheap ass beat, or soulful, or psychedelic or whatever.

his flow was versatile as hell too.

so damn impressive.

i can't deny his talent, but i was referring to his Carter 3 mid period on. he went all cocaine shit and purple drank dull brained sometime after that. he could've done better.

still somewhat good. i still listen to Carter 3 today. i thought Lollie pop was a great single and still do, though somewhat dumb. even though i hate the assholes who liked it. RAP&B is so much better in 2014.

will and always will be the "7th chamber part I and II".:) dare to say it's mi favorite hip hop tracks ever.

Clan in da Front is second.

yo foreverasskiss (and everyone else), check out Welcome To Fazoland:

in my opinion, the best mixtape of the year so far.

^^^is that one of yr favs of the year?

i'll be checking out the rest of yr favorites of the year today. still need to check out Pinata.

sure!

also peep the new Big K.R.I.T. single while you're at it: http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/big...olympus-video/

amazing. dude keeps it soulful like it's 2004. i'm so hyped for his album.

haha!! hot shit. then again i'm just hangin out on the tail gate,



i'm enjoing the hell out of Pinata. is this a concept album? cool.

club and radio singles is basically the only thing most have going for it now and keeping 'it' whatever alive. it's top 10 AM mainstream. more mainstream than anything else. i'm loving it like classic new wave in the late 70's/early 80's. it won't last long. breaking pop radio ways. the majority of people on earth listen to this shit. that or bumpkin country modern folk. this says more about culture than anyone can describe.

That shit iz koo and its definitely less trap than his previous shit and I don't really like trap so its definitely an improvement, but I just ain't been able to feel nothin down south since 1999 No Limit and even then just barely ;)

1999 No Limit sucked. fake primitive retarted 808 shit that didn't fully advance untill 2011. only idiots liked that shit back then. go back and listen for yrself.

like down syndrome in energy form banging it's head on a synth.

Krit was always soulful. listen to his tape from 2010 "K.R.I.T. Wuz Here", so good it could've been an album.

It is soulful, but those damn trap drum beats get on my damned nerves, always have, always will. At least MC Tree tones it down.. I ain't been able to get crunk with that dirty south shit even since the early 1990s, soulful, conscious, obnoxious, whatever its incarnation because I just can't dig the drums. Especially the clicking high hats..

That is true, but all this fucking trap shit sounds like they heard some old No Limit tapes, and decided to exemplify and amplify the primitive 808 bullshit, and that is what I can't stand the most! Even with No Limit I was limited, but if you act like you weren't bumping this you straight bullshittin my ninja ;)

no, i nevered evered bump Master Pee Pee. i thought it was weak and still do. some kind of west coast wanna be slightly southern primitive shit. lame

sorry Such!!!

That might explain why we were all bumpin it here in LA ;)

I'm about to go down some serious 40 drankin on the curb memory lane nostalgia on this No Limit creeps into LA recap:



All over LA everybody was bumping that Ghetto D and it is what motivated Snoop to go No Limit for that brief year, and it was the Snoop-Master P combination that unearthed the brief No Limit radio/MTV invasion of 1999-2000..

In LA everybody was bumping Ghetto D and also Silkk the Shocker who was first introduced to an LA audience on the mix tape West Coast Bad Boyz II which led to The Shocker becoming a definitive LA record. After that folks were bumpin that C-murder Life Or Death record and then TRU "Tru 2 Da Game" (especially that track "I Got Candy")... In fact, Tru 2 Da Game fooled folks all around town who didn't even KNOW them boys were Down South, that shit sounds like some straight up RBL Posse which LA also stole from the Yay Area and made it our own.. The Louisiana-Los Angeles connection got so strong folks were flossing LA-LA medallions with a Dodgers' logo LA and a blinged out LA (for Louisiana) in that typical No Limit medallion style).. That Down South medallion trend spread to LA and then it embedded itself into the Hyphy movement..

All of this is what possessed Snoop to try that No Limit, because in LA, No Limit was perhaps the ONLY non-Westcoast rap we were bumping, but then again, we were always friendly to folks from the Gulf like Houston or New Orleans since Scarface or the DOC..


No apologies necessary, its just music, but I'm MOST DEFINITELY not bumping the current south shit which is just an exageration of that 808 nonsense. If you check the records I mentioned above, the snuck into the the westcoast scene because the 808 was limited to sound more like the 1988 Too $hort or some RBL Posse shit, not that 808 to the extreme like Trap and Crunk and all this other bullshit..

and if muthafuckerz don't give me some rep for that No Limit Westcoast Hybrid Moment recap y'all is just haterz ;)

you must spread some reputation around before giving it to Suchfriends again.

my feelings exactly. When I first spotted that the song dropped I only had a small window of time to check it out, so I sort of scanned through it to get the gist of it (as is usually adequate for Wayne songs) and felt like I had to really explore the timeline to find Wayne on the track at all...

:confused:

awesome post suchfriends.

the newest episode of the Combat Jack podcast has Scarface on it. Honest to goodness, dood picks up an acoustic guitar and starts playing Pink Floyd. Total "this is why I love music" moment.

1. Pinata
2. Clivia
3. Welcome To Fazoland

can't stop listening to this Lil Herb mixtape.. updated. :)

"That's That" from Born Like This is so amazing.

maybe my fav DOOM track of all time.

the King Geedorah album will never cease to amaze me.

beautiful sci-beats by DOOM and the guests provide some classic verses.

always tell you that's my fav Doom record.

i can see why. :) i don't think i can even rank his albums like that anymore. i used to think of Madvillainy as his absolute masterpiece, but it really isn't.

nah. Madvillainy is a great album. Super solid. But not even my Top 5 DOOM. It's more a gateway album. Very accessible. Plus a lot of dudes knew the Madlib name right? Sucked em in. But I mean Take Me To Your Leader, Operation Doomsday, Vaudeville Villain... there's so much way better deeper stuff. No diss to Madvillain whatsoever. Brilliant record for sure. "Strange Ways" is my fav on there. But but but look at Geedorah w/ "Phazers," "Fast Lanes," "No Snakes Alive," "Anti-Matter," it's just... omg what a record.

a new mixtape by E-40's son.

finally got around listening to this. there's so much generic drill out there, y'know? but the good stuff are so good. haha.

i'm constantly looking for more projects with a sound like Chief Keef's "Back From The Dead".

drill is pretty fascinating to me. it was a big influence on Yeezus, and i can see it evolving in great ways.

Da Mafia 6ix' tape from last year is surprisingly dope.

i know how much you guys like Mystic Stylez (seriously, who doesn't?), so you need to download it.

Yeah, I love that tape. R.I.P. Lord Infamous :(

Ohhhhh looks good.

Whoa! I grew up with a bunch of dudes who rapped, free-styled, and made beats when we were in high school. I never met a SINGLE 17-year old then or since who could make beats and rap like this, I can only imagine when this dude gets older what kind of music he will be making!


its not bad. More interesting beat and instrumentation wise than Droop E, clearly going more for Art-Rap than Hyphy but its working.. I like that he is going for a persona, that is my favorite part about Art-Rap.. ALL rappers are a character or persona, its not necessarily entirely themselves what you see on stage, and often their raps aren't strictly autobiographical, they're telling the story. Art-Rap just is more open about it

some of this is freaking awesome. so he likes tea?

there's more Lil B in him than MF DOOM.
