This reminds of 2001 when Twista came out on those DeathRow Mixtapes and everybody lost their mind thinking Tupac was alive and rapping...

I never heard about this. Funny/weird.

here's the tracklist for Ab-Soul's new album:

Me too honestly. I love it.

Kingdom Come took a minute to grow on me as well, but I think it's a criminally underrated album all things considered. Now I feel the same way about Holy Grail. Yeah he sounds a little bored, but maybe he's trying too hard to sound mature. He'll get it down, and settle into Middle age and learn how to be a domestic dad while still spitting mad verse.

He can't really complain about how mean the streets are, or unfairly being pulled over anymore... I think he should focus on political and social issues. That will bring the fire out in anyone. But as things are he's doing just fine.

We all expect way too much from out favorite musicians sometimes.

seems like Kanye and Hov don't get along anymore. which means we can forget about Watch the Throne II.

Why do you say this? I thought they recently performed a song together. Not sure what, though. And I heard another collaboration album was in the works, but that there was no real evidence that it would necessarily be a WTT sequel.

Kanye isn't in to retreading the same old ground anyway. WTT had a certain theme to it, lyrically and musically. If was triumph over adversity, and reflection on what adversity meant to Ye and Jay. Jay loves sequels, clearly, but WTT 2 would probably have to be a massive jump forward, or at least to the side, from the original for Kanye to have any interest, I'm sure.

Besides, the media has a long history of jumping to radical and inaccurate conclusions about their relationship; ever since Kanye became an artist of roughly the same level of popularity, it's been a go-to topic for desperate rumor mill bloggers with nothing else to write about. Personally I would bet the two have never been quite as close or quite as distant as people want to believe.

Jay said very positive things about Yeezus, and Kanye hasn't said anything negative about Jay as far as I know. But maybe you're right.

I just hope that they're willing to record together, because if Ye is truly making a "Born in the USA" to Yeezus's "Nebraska" then it just wouldn't do to not have a few verses from Jigga on there.

out now: http://urbanleakz.net/mike-will-made...he-world-full/

nice song. both Kendrick and Weezy spazzed.

[Severian]

Fantastic Mr Fox dipping into the Yeezy pool with an awesome end result that turns Skit #2 (Late Registration) into a pretty badass beat, which is ultimately worth more than the original skit.

I hate skits. Let me just get that out of the way now. Skits are to blame for it taking 25 years for anyone to think of hip hop as an art form (save for spike lee, and the ninjas who were making the art). But honestly, I'm glad Yeezy dropped them (Chris Rock's "Yeezy taught you well" isn't a skit... It's an essential part of the Blame Game, and it adds to the music rather than serving as a mental "breather" from input processing at that level.

Anyway, Fantastic Mr Fox, everyone!

Fuck in 2001 its like all ANYBODY in LA rap scene was saying. Tupac is alive, he rapping on this mix tape.. For two weeks even I was almost fooled into believing not that he was alive, but that much like the Makaveli bootlegs that some previously unreleased material was coming out posthumously..

To be sure, on that mix-tape Twista is the only rapper uncredited so it added to the mystique, folks were like, "Who the fuck is that?"

living in New England, The City of Angels is like a fantasy land to me.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

I understand what you mean completely, even by New York standards LA is a hip hop cultural mecca

[noisereductions]

fuck I love Mastermind.
