I'm gonna e-punch louder if he doesn't check out this Mobb Deep. Where is this dood?

I've never been able to get in to Mobb Deep past The Infamous. Is this one gonna be worth my money?

FFS dood, have you not read my multiple spammy posts? This album is insane.

^this song should hook you in the first 10 seconds!

I don't know if it was posted or you guys would know aboot this...but what's this aboot RZA's 'one of a kind album'

http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...album-says-rza

gimmick or contemporary art?

both.

we talked about it a few pages back.

tl;dr - I'm gonna be really mad if there's a 2CD Wu album that I can't have.

Mobb Deep haven't had a great album since 1999. That new song you linked has the same zombie rapping Havoc and Prodigy have had for way too long.

yr crazy brah. The new album is so good (minus the track "Low").

And Prodigy had a great album in 2007 w/ Return Of The Mac.

That track does sound ill, but I usually find myself getting tired of their sort of music before an album ends. I am not the biggest east coast guy though, I must say.

Speaking of East Coast duos... I've been trying to get into The Underachievers, but just don't find them all that interesting. They just don't bring enough to the table to be competitive/interesting in 2014. They mostly rap about the same old shit with a wider variety of drug references. I've only listened to Lords of Flatbush and while I didn't dislike it, I felt really let down and fairly uninterested.

Dude, why didn't you start with Indigoism? It's a mixtape, but it could be an album. It's not immediately the best thing ever (at least it wasn't for me, though I liked it a lot), but let it sink in and if you're anything like me it will be one of your go-to albums.

It's like A$AP and Wu Tang. I know they're young and learning, but it's better than most debut albums by most artists, and it's just a freaking mixtape.

Flatbush is 1/3 as long, and less focused. Indigoism is their gem so far.

i dig "Taking You Off Here" (even posted that here a while ago) but the rest of the album didn't do much to me, the production is nice but the flows.. ehh. the 2nd disc has some nice stuff though. maybe i'll give it another spin soon.

new Young Thug track: https://soundcloud.com/dundealonthet...se-produced-by

i don't think i've ever posted about him here before, this guy is easily one of my fav new hip-hop artists.
he's under Rich Gang management, plus he's going to get signed to Cash Money soon.

1017 Thug was already quite dope but i think he's improved so much after that tape, can't wait for him to drop another project.

his remake of Drake's "The Language": https://soundcloud.com/metroboomin/m...-the-blanguage

better than the original if you ask me.

you guyz!! WTF?

I seriously love the NEW Mobb Deep album. I thought I'd listen to the bonus disc more, but nope. Just the new disc on repeat for dayssss.

Unrelated discussion starter:

Top 5 B-List MC's?

My list:
1. Big Moe
Maybe you have to be from Houston to love this guy, but I think he's criminally underrated. He's silly, sincere, and oddly dope enough that all 3 of his albums have gotten regular play from me for years now.

2. B-Legit
He sounds like Too $hort if Too $hort was a member of Screwed Up Click, if that isn't dope I don't know what is.

3. Daz Dillenger
He always hooks it up with the beats and the 16s, not to mention that Retaliation, Revenge, and Getback is one of the most underrated west coast albums of all time.

4. B.G.
His voice can be sort of grating at first, but when it comes to rappers who "keep it real", especially in the south, B.G. is definitely one of the most compelling. It's a shame he shot his talent kind of young and fucked around and got himself locked up.

5. Gunplay
The energy this guy brings man...if only he could get focused and give us that southern classic I know he has in him.

Honorable Mention:
Bushwick Bill
Sure he's not the most competent MC and he doesn't write his rhymes, but somehow he just plain works for me.

How is B-Legit not on this list? Honorable Mention: MC Ren

^But he is? He's my number 2

How the fuck did I honestly not notice that unless your fucking with me and edited it. If not, propz for having such similar taste, I agreed completely with your choice of Daz.. Daz could be a top-shelf rapper in his own right if he could rap just a little less fun.

I don't know how I'd even define B-list?

^A rapper whose primary legacy is in guest verses/posse presence or someone whose relevance never really spread past their home town/region.

My list is a pretty good snap shot of the tier of MC I'm talking about.
