It’s being said that hiphop is dead, and it isn’t. Why did this happen? Probably because of the mainstream popularization of certain “artists” that claim (falsely) to be rappers, or advents/saviors of hiphop. Largely a joke, average people make broad and often incorrect assumptions about what rap/hiphop is and is not. There were key players in this, but let’s try to avoid pointing fingers. Instead, let’s do our best to support real artists who make true efforts to bring in talent and unique abilities to boost creativity, mostly within the underground.

Best Hip Hop Song Ever

[Recon]

Glad me and Peterboy have slots in Gafs Created content...

[IrishNinja]

yeah, i couldn't fuck much with what CRS did; his OP was tight.

things i need to find somehow in OT2 and add to this one:

-links to Wu mondays/native tongue tuesdays etc that had banners, spotify links
-Escha (think it was yours?) Spotify playlists, they need more exposure
-Soul Creator freestyles - Jay Elec & several others, so good. spin-chan had a few too i wanna say?
-Links to related OT's - overcasts Cole thread, WTT, MBDTFWTF etc
-Toku's banner is the best thing ive seen here, i just wish i could maybe thumbnail it so it didn't dick with the page's formatting.
-I should prolly update CRS' 2011 release list. also, we should start one for 2012 soon!


ps Ace do you wanna subtitle those WCW tracks to show their theme/etc? one's gangsta, one's too high, etc.

[Satyamdas]

Thread title is godlike.

[Macca]

Ferrari Boys isn't a noticeable release? :(

[-Pyromaniac-]

When the fuck are we gonna get another blackstar album. Everything else is irrelevant, mostly.

[Blackace]

[cacophony]

Notable Releases: Danny Brown album is XXX not The Hybrid, and where the hell is Section.80?

[WanderingWind]

:( don't be like that, blacky.

Never shoulda changed your avatar, homie. Duane is disappointed.

[Pinko Marx]

Never shoulda changed your avatar, homie. Duane is disappointed.

Tell Evilore to bring back animated avatars and I'll do it in a heartbeat. Until then its Co' Flow or whatever else i decide to change it to.

[WanderingWind]

Tell Evilore to bring back animated avatars and I'll do it in a heartbeat. Until then its Co' Flow or whatever else i decide to change it to.

You're like Wale. You've lost your identity.

[overcast]

Wale's album comes out next week.. anyone?

[Tokubetsu]

Wale's album comes out next week.. anyone?

What the fuck is a Wale?

[WanderingWind]

Wale's album comes out next week.. anyone?

Was that on purpose, or are you just on that same wavelength? And is it an actual album, or a mixtape?

[IrishNinja]

:( don't be like that, blacky. I wanted |OT| We get Computers 'putins. Its not a big deal though...I'll just play the song everytime I open the thread.

i liked it. i did! i even put it in the subtitle of the thread SOMEWHERE SECRET.
i just couldn't see thinking about Dipset every time i came here. it'dve hurt my soul.

[overcast]

Was that on purpose, or are you just on that same wavelength? And is it an actual album, or a mixtape?

Lol same wavelength. Just remembered that it was coming out. It's a full album.

GAF HOP |OT3| Return to The Cray End Theory SQUUUUUUUAAAAAADDDD

[soul creator]

my name is Commander Shepherd and this is my favorite thread on GAF

feel free to add http://www.soulcreator.com/album.html to the GAF created content section

[Blackace]

mod abuse incoming

[tmdorsey]

From the other thread

I agree on with you on Chronic vs. 2001. Actually 2001 one was kinda of a let down for me. Funny story, I got my first copy of Chronic 2001 by trading with one of my friends for a Posion Clan cd. Haha.

It Takes of Nation of Millions and Fear of a Black Planet are actually pretty close for me the difference being that my favorites on Million I Iove more than my favorites on Fear of a Black Planet.

The differences between Most Wanted and Death Certificate are minimal for me just like between the PE albums.

Went to a club this weekend and heard some old EPMD and made me realize that it's been a good a while since I listen to any of their stuff. Need to pull some of that stuff out.

[overcast]

What did you guys think about MacheteVision? I think it's solid, rapping is decent. Beats are so good, Kno is unstoppable.

[Pinko Marx]

Kno is the new master of the sample.

[kamspy]

I don't know if I should buy Machete Vision or not.

Someone post the song with the most stand out beat that will make me throw my $6 at Kno's momma's head.

[Cudder]

What did you guys think about MacheteVision? I think it's solid, rapping is decent. Beats are so good, Kno is unstoppable.

Only one listen in, but I liked it. Some of the beats were okay (I'm sure some will grow on me), and others I absolutely loved on first listen. I don't even know who MarQ Spekt is. He doesn't have a wikipedia so he must not be very important lol.

[Pinko Marx]

I don't know if I should buy Machete Vision or not. Someone post the song with the most stand out beat that will make me throw my $6 at Kno's momma's head.

Or you can just listen to the album for free and decide?
http://www.machetevision.com/

[Eschaton]

dat shit is cray....

[kamspy]

Why is Kno doing albums with this guy. If this was Kno and Slim Dunkin' this shit would already be bought.

[roosters93]

New thread? Cool beans.

Need more Des monthly round-ups. :(

[kamspy]

OK yeah. That dude has no business having an album full of Kno beats. WTF.

I'd throw an extra dollar their way for the instrumental version.

[Eschaton]

Kno + Jay Elec would be something
