Music: The Official Hip-Hop Thread: Part VX

[Prominence Problem]

I’m not even a Cudi fan but I really dig a few of the earlier songs on the album, then it goes Zzzzzz

The second song on the album 'Tequila Shots' is pretty good, other than that I agree, the album makes me want to go to sleep.

I enjoyed eminem’s album and enjoy trying to break down his double and triple entendres. Easily one of the top lyrical rappers out there even at his age.

Whole Lotta Garbage

It’ll be better received in a few months I think. I didn’t like Die Lit when I first heard it but it’s got some real classic joints on it.

I gotta be drunk and have someone to punch listening to this music though, so I turned that shit off and went to bed last night.

Playboi Carti’s new album is the definition of god awful.

Yeah the more I hear it the worse it gets actually lmao. Guy might have gotten high off his own farts for the past two years.

At least Uzi is thriving:

Listening to “Circles” for the 20th time with a nice cigar and a nicer bourbon.

What a loss to the music world. Mac Miller was such a special talent. f***in Ariana Grande, ugh. Drugs, alcohol, and heartbreak...devastating combo. It’s a tough lesson for all young men to learn but it’s best to learn it fast so you don’t throw your life off course.

RIP to a musical talent not known by enough people.

huh didn't even know he was with Grande. He was a talented individual.
personally cant say I enjoyed circles. for me it was just a lot of the same monotone voice with the same flow over a nice slow beat. It is a good album to throw on in the background while your doing something at home, or in an elevator or the perfect hold music.

Pressa's new project is def his best production wise. His voice is pretty unique so some of the mixing I'd heard on his voice was pretty shit, but this new project is cohesive.

MF DOOM Dead at 49

He actually died on Halloween, causes unknown. Just being released today, or did I miss the announcement somehow?

Either way, sad as shit.

OK folks, I need some new (to me) Hip Hop to listen to.

I'm a life-long metal head that recently started to get into rap/hip-hop, so not exactly sure how to classify which flavor I'm looking for. Deep and introspective? I guess...

Something in the vein of Cunninlynguists, Cecil Otter, Eyedea, No Bird Sing, Aesop Rock.

cant go wrong with Nas -illmatic to start off your search with. it's good to revisit a classic masterpiece.

How are people feeling about how this Snoop v. Em stuff is developing?

I'm with the side that hopes they talk it out behind closed doors and squash it. They're absolutely right that regardless of how the actual battle might go down it would be terrible for the culture and only increase tension and racial divide (hell, it'll end up much more about that than Em v. Snoop).

That said I thought Snoop did Em dirty there. I know it's just an opinion and he has a right to it of course, but the way he went about it and I agree completely with what Em said about his 'energy'.

Also listening to a few of the podcasts and meetups since especially with Nickle reminds me how much I like him too. Royce is awesome.

As far as I have saw Snoop just said his bar was soft af. I hope they battle. A back and forth isn't about race its about showing lyrical supremacy. those that make it about race are not part of the culture but part of the problem.

Awesome Doom tribute

I'm not very familiar with those artists but I know a couple of them are more alternative hip hop so you may like the recently deceased MF Doom. Others you might like are Immortal Technique, Ill Bill and Jedi Mind Tricks. The Roots are a great older hip hop group.

A lot of my favourite rappers are from the 90's/early 00s like Wu Tang Clan(as a group and solo albums), Biggie, Big L, Nas, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Jadakiss, Gang Starr etc.

 

[Dubi Doo]

That first bar in the new Em song... lmfao. Trash. Don’t know what’s worse, that one or the window pane (pain) line.

the beat is sick though

edit: b**** you still on my d*** or naw? If I suck your wife is a straw

Naw man Em needs to put down the pen. Lmfao Jesus Christ

Eminem can still bring it. He has a few songs on this new album that bang. Last album had a few as well. Kamikaze was his best album in a long time. The truth is- Eminem has put out more albums than damn near any rapper has ever. His sound can get a bit redundant due to that + he's not nearly as angry as he used to be. Still, 99% of the game can't sniff his jock strap when he's pissed off.

And, honestly, you can find weak bars on damn near every rappers albums. And that's a fact, jack.

I truly hope you're not blaming her for his death. The man was an addict. Plain and simple. Sad stuff. No doubt about it. He didn't deserve to die. He deserved to heal and live a full life, but Ariana Grande doesn't deserve any blame for what happened to Mac.

I'm always down for an old fashion rap beef as long as it doesn't get violent, which, let's be honest- Snoop and Em are so far removed from the street life that I doubt it'd ever get that serious.

Em would mop the floor with Snoop, though, even if he's far removed from his prime. Snoop doesn't rap anymore. Eminem hasn't stopped rapping since he first picked up the mic.

Eminem’s verse on Scary Movies is one of my favourite verses ever. He barely swore on it and painted such a vividly ****ed up image.

I hate his new music but man the guy is such a musical legend it’s not even funny.

 

[Dubi Doo]

This song right here has always guided me through the sad times.

 

[tacogeoff]

Im liking all these Collabs Funk Flex and Kayslay are putting out.

These two tracks are polar opposites but solid in their own way.

 

[tacogeoff]

UK drill US drill collab.

Pharoahe killing shit.

Brings back memories.
