Maybe...

I think Meth has one of the most appealing voices in hip hop, like, ever. But I've never been blown away by his solo projects (Blackout! was a fluke, it would seem) and he's drifted into some incredibly lame territory in the past 12 years or so. Still, when he steps to the mic he does steal the show, even though his verses are nothing like Rae's or Gza's. He still is a dope emcee, and I wish he'd make more music. He could have a hell of a comeback in the current climate.

I always preferred The Funk Doc to Method Man. Method Man is just sort of, well, boring! The only time I can handle Meth is when he is rapping with his partner Red, period, and even then, I'm just waiting for his part to end more or less..

You don't fox with that e-40? Ninja got like SEVEN albums out in the past two years alone, and most of them are crack related. Boring is the least applicable description.

i've been hearing good things about this Flatbush Zombies tape. might have to give it a listen: http://www.djbooth.net/index/albums/...etter-off-dead

EDIT: aight i'm listening to it right now. already reminds me of Indigoism, it's better though.

Yo louder

Yo NR

Either of you guys give a listen to Doley Bernays yet? This kid does indeed deserve an explosive fan reaction to push him past flavor of the week status on the mixtape circuit. Give him a listen and if you're not into it, I'll reimburse you for the cost of the album myself. (Get it? Cuz it's free and all?)

You two need to listen to Black Milk's No Poison NO Paradise. It's a heavy and thoughtful album, and, like, nobody gives a shit about it at all. It's remarkable. Just by listening to it you become part of the elite.

noisereductions 11.13.2013 09:47 PM

Doley Bernays - I listened to the first song. Was pretty good. But I haven't heard the whole tape yet. Mean to.

noisereductions 11.13.2013 10:27 PM

wouldn't you believe it? it's just my luck.

Severian 11.14.2013 02:36 PM

Ah... Well.

Actually, I kind of find Death Grips nauseating to listen to. It's a novel concept, the whole thing, and I try to always speak well of Zach Hill/Hella related projects, because I remember when they were, for a few years, one of the most exciting bands in the world. But Death Grips is not for me.

I would very much like to shift the conversation back to Wu Tang and Kanye and other things mutually adored by NR, louder, and myself.

... Anyone got anything?

Rob Instigator 11.14.2013 02:42 PM

Nah we've banged on about them guys all year.

Gonna download the new Death Grips album in a bit. Why? Cos their second album ruled. Intense? Sure. But right now, nobody is more punk than them guys.

i really like Death Grips. the new album is dope. i'm not a super fan yet, but i find them very interesting.

love that track.

"a bible or a rifle / now good night, folks"

WHERE the heck is that instrumental album he was sposed to drop over the Summer???????

louder 11.15.2013 09:28 AM

"who am i? Lord Flacko, painting vivid pictures call me Basquiat Picasso."

i don't know man, i'm fiending for some new Rocky. :( new A$AP mob project and A$AP Nast's solo debut are on the way though.

it's actually odd that he decided to make such uplifting music. he's been through so much as a kid.. his father went to jail, his brother was killed in Harlem, he used to sell drugs and live in homeless shelters with his mom. you'd expect him to become a conscious/struggle type rapper.

noisereductions 11.15.2013 11:48 AM

I think that's part of what I love about him though. He's got a lot of curveballs in there. I mean, why is a guy from Harlem who was infatuated with Dipset have music that is so deeply rooted in Southern Chopped & Screwed? I mean "1train" is probably the only song on that record that sounds like the music that was happening in NY when he was growing up. Stuff like that.

He's just a real interesting character. Like he just seems very self-aware and is able to take these influences or whatever, but process them in such a way that he's really making HIS music. Like you said, there's the obvious lyrics he could've written and he's a good enough lyricist to have pulled that off. But stuff like "Phoenix" or "I Come Apart" are borderline emo but are so so good.

louder 11.15.2013 12:01 PM

when Live.Love came out, well.. i dug it but i didn't know he could grow to be such an interesting artist. that tape made him seem more one-dimensional than Wiz Khalifa. Long.Live was a huge step forward.

DMX sucks, and being a firefighter might be the only thing that could redeem him, in fact, he should have skipped "rap" altogether and went with firefighting from the get-go..

noisereductions 11.15.2013 07:48 PM

"Phoenix" video floored me. Written by Asia Argento??? Dood, Rocky is unreal.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 11.15.2013 08:08 PM

If have to read one more comment by lame white people saying, "Why can black people use the word nigga and I can't say nigger?" ARE YOU FUCKING PRICKS HONESTLY THAT DENSE OR JUST STUPID! Seriously?? Yeah, Matt Barnes called his homiez "my niggaz" and no, bitch ass Richie Incognito, you CAN'T SAY IT, and yes it is because Martin, a black man, took offense, fuck your lame cracker ass. Bitch. Its like Game said, "THE WORD NIGGER, IS NOTHING LIKE NIGGA.. ONE IS SLANG FROM MY BROTHER THE OTHER IS HANGING DEAD TAKE A PICTURE."

Severian 11.16.2013 03:11 PM

Will someone else listen to this album I bought the other day because of the cover and boredom? I think it's pretty obvious the guy can rap. However, he chooses to rap well infrequently, and his songs are about boobs and having sex, and the lyrics aren't exactly full of wit or subtlety ("itty-bitty-titty-committee" comes up a few times I think)

I want to like it, though, and I feel like I'm being a pretentious douche. I like tons of raunchy hip hop, only it tends to be older, more classic stuff.

I could really use some input on this 2013 release.

 



Nevermind. This album is horrible. It has one song that I can listen to without embarrassment. The rest are filled with crunching guitars reminiscent of Kid Rock or Kottonmouth Kings. Just awful.

Though it would still be nice if someone listened to if so we could make fun of it together.
Just sayin.

remember when DMX was the epidome of hyped up badass hip hop in 98? nothing new, always changing.



No, I don't have any recollection of that. I remember catching glimpses of really ostentatious videos. I remember hearing a song and thinking, "this guy is just the Jewel of."

He's a lame ass whiny douche-chill talking about struggle and pain, but also barking like a dog, which is apparently gangsta for yodeling. Again, DMX = Jewel.

I was banging Wu-Tang Forever in 1998. DMX had no impact on my world at all.

Not trying to be a dick, just saying. No, I don't recall him ever being the epitome of anything except or being the more commercial, male, rap equivalent of Jewel.

noisereductions 11.17.2013 10:24 AM

I was never into DMX at all.

h8kurdt 11.17.2013 11:57 AM

Yeah he's ok I guess. His And Then There was X album is ok. I'll admit you do listen to him thinking "ooh he's such an angry boy".

Severian 11.17.2013 01:44 PM

I don't think I was quite in his demographic at the time. I was in college in 1998, learning SO MUCH about cocaine, sex, and how walking around with a copy of the Communist Manifesto greatly improved my chances of attaining both.

Wasn't DMX kind of marketed to the KoRn and Limp Bizkit crowd? Like, a little too rock n' roll for the hip hop purist, a little too black for the rock purist, but juuuust right for the angry pregnant 16 year olds and their baby daddies?

louder 11.17.2013 01:48 PM

his first two albums are great. he dropped them both at the same year too.

louder 11.17.2013 01:48 PM

the new Death Grips album might be their best work yet.

I feel you, in 1998 there was Outkast, a sick a$$ DJ Quik record, the ridiculoulsly good Black Star record, FUCKING KILLAH PRIEST DROPPED HEAVY MENTAL, my favorite Tribe Called Quest Record came out (The Love Movement), RZA became the Bobby Digital, Redman put out "Doc's Da Name", Heiroglyphics busted out 3rd Eye Vision, WC's The Shadiest One, Sunz of Man had a record out, and to take the mark as perhaps the BEST RAP ALBUM OF 1998 E-40 put out the double album Element of Surprise..

 


Not only was there clearly no room to even remotely bother with DMX, upon further reflection is it safe to argue that 1998 may have been perhaps the single greatest year in rap history? Fucking shit look at those records, and that is just from my ipod right now off my head, I probably forgot at least a dozen more bangerz..

guest 11.18.2013 10:12 PM

clipping - midcity
 

thought it would appeal to some of you guys. like a non-pussy version of death grips, ie it's actual noise and not just a bit of post-production fuzz and distortion. some of it is pure shit, but there are some pretty cool frequency assaults on there.

also, that new arca tape is intermittently good, not nearly as idiosyncratic as his first though...

Well that video sucked. I grew to really like that song after so many times of listening to it not really digging it. That video made me bored of it. Should've known as soon as I saw the eagle and running horses.

These last twelve months have been monumental for Chance The Rapper. After releasing his breakout project, Acid Rap, Chano has been arguably the hottest up and coming artist out. He’s done everything from magazine covers, touring with Eminem and Kendrick Lamar to now hanging out with Madonna.

Last night, Chance’s "Social Experiment Tour" made a stop in Los Angeles where Madonna decided to check out the young Chicagoan’s show. Chance took to his Instagram account today with a picture of he and Madonna and the caption:

"Madonna showed up after my show in LA last night. What an eccentric and unique girl".

Fan or not, Chano is getting some crazy good looks.

 

http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/madonna-...news.8203.html

i'm glad to see young Chance making it.
