[Jay Sosa]

just googled him. No idea he's been around in the industry for so long.

yeah, he's a qb legend.

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Man how can we not have some Big Sean inspired Twitter name?
That album cover with him 'shopped in is still the funniest thing I've seen here.

@OhIsThatYourGirl?
@BOI

Oh yeah, Pharrell and Earl Sweatshirt cooked up some shit:

[HiResDes]

Death Grips - Double Helix (Video)

Big Chief Ft. Z-Ro - Big Boi Shit

MMG Ft. Kendick Lamar - Power Circle (Video)

Tree & Jig Dolla - Prolly (Video)

A-1 - Now You Do (Video, remix of Lana's Flostradamus Cut)

Meyhem Lauren – BBQ Brisket f. Action Bronson & AG Da Coroner (prod. Harry Fraud)

Lana Del Rey Ft. A$AP Rocky - National Anthem (Video), AWFUL SONG

[Macca]

I liked that Power Circle video a hell of a lot more than I liked the song.

[Tokubetsu]

https://twitter.com/#!/BallaGarbage

HAha, yes.

[HiResDes]

Kendrick's verse went so far over everyone's head that it almost warped them out of existence.

[Macca]

Gunplay might be at the round table, but he couldn't make it on to the cover.

[Tokubetsu]

Gunplay might be at the round table, but he couldn't make it on to the cover.

Which is funny because that song is almost all Gunplay and Kendrick's verses. Meek Mill coming in third, a bit back.

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Well that was certainly..... something.

[Macca]

Yep. Thought that too. Seems like they just wanted a posse cut on the album, and put that ahead of making a good song.

[Tokubetsu]

Meek Mill high notes withstanding, Gunplay is the best thing in MMG right now. That's not just some "Toku rooting for underdog" shit either. He's hungry and it shows. Dude can actually spit lyrics, but has the energy of flocka to back up those big luger-esque beats.

[Macca]

I wonder what the reasoning behind Self Made 2 dropping only a month before God Forgives is. Ross must be pretty confident in his ability to sell albums.

It seems like he's been working with just about everyone lately even though he has yet to announce anything.

[Grzi]

Gunplay's verse opened the track for a good reason.

He killed it, didn't care about anyone, not even Kendrick after that.
Dat charisma.

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Tell me about it. He was in with most of Odd Future too recently:




and then Earl went in for some separate solo sessions.
Worth noting that Chad Hugo is in there producing too, so they will actually be Neptunes beats.
I'd love them two to drop another Clones-esque compilation.

I agree with this.

Mayhem Lauren's joint drops tomorrow.

Can't agree with that

Wow.

[Novid]

Well that was certainly..... something.

you ever watched Code Guess? This is sort of like it.

[HiResDes]

Edit: Also how much better would the MMG album be without Stalley, I've seriously grown to hate the guy.

[Macca]

Edit: Also how much better would the MMG album be without Stalley, I've seriously grown to hate the guy.

Yea, Stalley bores the shit outta me. I agree with Toku, they need to use Gunplay more, I still bump Bogota Rich. Jump Out is fucking amazing.

How many people have listened on Self Made 2? Haven't seen much talk about it...

[cdyhybrid]

I would've checked it out but I'm broke and like 2 or 3 albums behind.

[HiResDes]

Stalley ruins Fountain of Youth, which would have been a great song with an added Gunplay verse instead. Or even better All Birds and Black Magic with added Gunplay verses, that would be flawless.

Guilty pleasure of the album - M.I.A.

[Discotheque]

I haven't heard it yet but MMG kind of bores me these days aside from Gunplay obviously.

Meek Mill has fun songs and Rick Ross has been improving but I feel burnt out on it. As expected Power Circle is the Gunplay and Kendrick song.

[Macca]

And it seems like Wale has just been going backwards.

[Eschaton]

ayo making golden arms redemption the background of this twitter account was a masterstroke

[K.Jack]

Jeez, Kendrick simply embarrassed everyone on Power Circle. I would've been back in the booth leveling up after hearing his shit.

[Macca]

I didn't realize it at the time, but Wiz has the exact same facial expression in the profile photo as U God in the background.

[SoilBreak]

[Discotheque]

Jeez, Kendrick simply embarrassed everyone on Power Circle. I would've been back in the booth leveling up after hearing his shit.

I know somebody who thinks it was nothing special. Also his favorite rappers at the moment are Wale and Mac Miller :/

lool wow that BallaBalla twitter account is following U-God.

[Macca]

Someone put up the Peter signal.

[siddx]

Still want to see that drake chris brown fight

[LightOfTruth]

I came around to actually really liking mercy but Kanye's verse was wtf.

Still looking forward to it though.

[Discotheque]

2 Chainz makes that song.

And also I know Chris Brown would win but honestly I would love to see him get his ass beat by somebody...anybody.

[Eschaton]

c breezy/drake would probably sell more tickets as a PPV danceoff with rihanna judging

[siddx]

Chris Brown would win against a chair or a chick with a giant forehead giving him an easy target. Anyone else is whooping on him.
Doesn't drake have several inches and quite a bit of weight on him? Clearly he'd be the one doing the hair pulling and scratching while chris brown did the pinching and crying.

lol

[Macca]

Drake would win. Chris Breezy wasn't with him shooting in the gym.

[siddx]

lol

ahahahahahaha holy shit how have I not seen this before? It's like when one of those disney shows have a "fight scene" with some 13 year old kid doing karate chops and shit.

[Eschaton]

Id put my money on c breezy in a fight honestly, and thats not just cause im a huge hater of drizzy drake. Judging from their behavior i'd have to. Say what you will about c breezy being a puss or whatever for hitting rihanna, but he seems significantly more physically aggressive than Drake ever has, and that includes his cousins and crew (whom i recall running up on frank). In fact how the whole fight went down tells the tale of the tape. C breezy went right up there and got in drake's panties and the guy sicced his entourage on chris. that tells you all you need to know about who would be the aggressor in a fight. Size minutiae tend to matter less in a fight between two unskilled people anyway, ill throw my money down on the guy with the willingness to hurt in a contest between non-athletes.

[boutdown]

lol

That's hilarious.

[RJT]

I'm sorry, but Kendrick is on another level. Gunplay comes close, everyone else is meh.

[ecurbj]

Hey bros. I know this question might be out there and random as shit but I'm going to have some balls and admit it. I haven't really dived deep into rap. Granted growing up under my Mom Dukes roof. I was beatin' in the head with nothing but Gospel music. My Mom (Black) is an hardcore fundamental Christian. My Pops (white and Puerto Rican) was more into the hip hop, latino music. My parents were seperate growing up. So anything not Gospel music my Mom kept out her house. I'm 24 and recently now that I have been of age and made choices for myself and totally eliminated all that religious nonsense.

I want to get into some hip hop. The real meat of hip hop. Not the modern mainstream. Granted I got into this type of hip hop because I was surrounded by it through the peeps I hang with. So I'm familiar with mainstream shit like Drake (my avatar), Kanye, Jay-Z, B.o.B., Lil Wayne, Big K.R.I.T. and I recently picked up some serious hip hop legends like Biggie Smalls first album and Big Pun first album. I've been nodding to both of their albums for a minute now.

Listening to 808s & Heartbreak right now. I'm really liking this album by him.

All in all. I wanted to know if you guys can give me some recommendations for underground or past underground hip hop artists work that was on some beast mode and not some of the weak sauce shit that happens when these hip hop artists go mainstream.

Any help would be appreciated. Trying to be diverse as possible. I like all genres. Be country, hip hop, pop, R&B, jazz, songwriter, alternative, classic rock, etc.

I love music.

Thanks, homies.

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

you ever watched Code Guess? This is sort of like it.

The anime series? No, but I remember wanting to check it out when I first heard of it.
Is it good? How is it similar?

On a related note I'm watching The Tatami Galaxy for the first time and I'm floored at how beautiful the art in each episode is.
It steals beats me to a concept I had a few years ago so I get an extra kick at seeing how they play with it.

Illmatic by Nas, and Liquid Swords by GZA. Both are among the best hip hop albums ever.

Breh, even I can't make fun of a dude that has admitted his hip hop virginity. Lose the drake and cop this knowledge. Forget the underground, you still havent touched the mainstream greats

















Good luck, and i hope you realize the error of your YMCMB sinful ways.

Yo ecurbj, to begin with:

Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders

This is a damn good starter list

[Eschaton]

This is a damn good starter list

I actually think dude would take more readily to the naughties underground hits like Blu & Exile, Madvillain/DOOM, Atmosphere, Nujabes, Mos Def/Talib type shit way faster, but it seems like he wants to know the essence of hip hop, so I figured id keep it to a regional sampler and throw in my personal favorite (liquid swords).
