The Hip-Hop Thread

Yeah, so about 14 years after Jadakiss's debut album, I found out that the production behind "We Gon Make It" was originally made for Ras Kass. Although I still prefer Jada's version, Ras Kass went in on this.

I also found out last year that the Renegade track on the Blueprint originally wasn't Jay-Z's, and that the original version had Royce Da 5'9" in it. However, that version was unreleased.

Nicki Minaj's - Bed of Lies made me kinda like her 0_0, wtf bruuh

She take ma' money

Great song #1

Great song #2 (also your girlfriend's favorite song)

Anyone pick up that Lox mixtape and that new Fab album?

Wrong thread.

I definitely need to check out the Young OG Project. I'm listening to the Soul Tape 2 & 3 right now.

@nelomaxwell:

In a rap battle.

Young OG is dope.

Jarjar, Aquaman is too white to win.

Joey Badass' album is gonna be bonkers.

Mactown represent. Billie Slum went off in this one. "This is Armageddon, cause when I hit ya it feel like God reached down and slapped u wit the arms of heaven!"

This Cyhi mixtape tho..

Oh it was dope.

Promotin all my GA ish

If You're Reading This It's Too Late.

What Do You Mean

UK represent

@king_saturn: Drake's mixtape.

dope

2015 should be a good year, better than last year at least.

The Suicide note.

@wolverine08

Ain't gonna lie though, that Dark Sky Paradise is fiya. Didn't expect that from Sean. You were on point.

Is Earl's album out yet? Its suppossed to come out today.

Also after listening to TPAB by K.DOT a few times, I can honestly say it measures up to G.K.M.C very well and even exceeds it in some areas. That interview with Pac at the end of Mortal Man was amazing and gave me mad feels. It might be as easy listening and as linear (G.K.M.C follows a clearer plot), but I prefer the instrumentals (it would be a fantastic instrumental only album TBH) and the lyrics are IMO deeper. 8.5-9/10 seems a fair score for me, where I usually think of G.K.M.C as being around 9, and 8-8.5 for Section 80 and O.D.

Real is still probably my favorite Kendrick Lamar song of all time, but holy sh!t some of the songs here push it close.

I'm listening to Earl's album now. It's basically an alternate version of Doris. Same vibe, Same type of beats. Earl is getting better lyrically and trying different flows but "I don't like Sh_t, I don't go Outside" isn't as huge a leap as Doris was from the Earl mixtape.

@vance_astro: It seems its out in U.S but not U.K. That's good to hear. I enjoyed Doris. Are there any cool features?

I'ma have to check out Action Bronson new sht.

@nelomaxwell@dagmar_merrill I know you guys were f%cking with Forest Hills Drive so I thought you'd like to see the music video Cole dropped for GOMD. I think you'll enjoy it especially Nelo.

@laflux said:

Not one. Track 9 features Na'kel Smith whose not really a rapper and his verse is better than most of what you might hear from Jasper the Dolphin but it's still wack in contrast to Earl. The song "Wool" with Vince Staples is dope as hell but Earl has mad songs with him though.

@laflux: @vance_astro: What's with dudes making suicide note album's. First drake now Earl.

@wolverine08: It was cool. I'm just tired of n!ggas being slaves.

@wolverine08: Thanks for the heads up. Not sure the video and sing go together but it still works.

Was disappointed with both Action Bronson's Mr. Wonderful and Earl's I don't like Sh*t, I don't go outside. The former was kind of boring and the best stuff was released prior the release of the album (Baby Blues and Actin' Crazy) and the latter was just something I couldn't get into honestly, not sure why.

Pretty excited for The Album About Nothing and Love Story at the moment.

I'm willing to say March 2014 was better than 2014 as a whole.

@nelomaxwell said:

Probably coincidence.

@vance_astro: I hope so.

@nelomaxwell said:

Drake's version I think was more of a warning and Earl's is more a statement about who he is.

hipity hop hop hop :)

You know I figured out something. People who dislike hip-hop are just haters, they're mad their music is irrelevant.

ready for Ludaversal

It's about time...

giggles... it's B. Hop Bunny

@king_saturn: What's hop doc?

I was a little disappointed with Earl's album, Doris was much better IMO.

I haven't finished listening to Mr. Wonderful yet, I got a little into it and so far its alright.

I'm turning myself in, thank you BasedGod - Joseph Kony

No.

I am however enjoying the crap out of some old school Z-Ro.

Amusing how you think that rap consists of rhyming on a singular syllable basis. Congratulations on the low IQ.

Nelly tho, got that meth...
