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.

hehe no i don't, Yeezus is perfect. Old is my 2nd fav rap album this year tho. Long.Live.A$AP is 3rd.

i miss the great innovation of 2011. that was an amazing year for internet rap. new artists just kept popping outta nowhere and shitted on the game.

Live.Love.A$AP, Blackland Radio 66.6, 808s & Dark Grapes II, Black Up, Exmilitary, I'm Gay, etc.. wow.

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.

Death Grips just dropped a new (FREE) album outta nowhere.. woo!

I was just about to post a link. I am genuinely surprised at how amazing this is. Defs making Top 10

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.

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

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

all the Death Grips I heard was pretty garbage. Not much. But garbage. Hahha did I just agree w/ forever in this thread????

...

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?

let me clear my throat

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.
