So, going off of this thread in the OT, what are y'all favourite beats of 2016?

While we're at it, since I don't think the AotY awards covered this either, but y'all have a verse of the year too?

BOTY

Bianco-Lex Lugner

VOTY

Priny Pi "Strahlen von Gold"

Und Elektronik wechselt in aktive Modi, Antennen empfangen Daten
Die unsichtbaren Ketten legen sich auf die Sklaven
Keine Wand scheint die sie treffenden Blicke zu spüren
Böden getreten von Füßen
Schlösser öffnen klackend die Türen
Funken entzünden Gemische gestorbener Echsen der Urzeit
Mit Luft von Heute in Sphären aus Aluminium
Radios wandeln Wellen, in massengeschmackskompatible
Kompakt portionierte Lieder zum Spielen um
Blinker schlagen im Takt eines ruhenden Pulses
Nadeln zeigen wie weit entfernt die stets drohende Null ist
In metallenen Körben, dem nach außen projezierten Status des Fahrers entsprechend
Fahren Millionen in Körpern voller Hormone vom Ort wo sie wohnen

That's a damn-good track. Cole articulating the exchange between him and Obama came across as well said and genuine. If you asked Obama that question you'd imagine the exchange would go down exactly like that.

track is really good; better than pretty much everything off his album

it shows why he has such a large fanbase...he's one of very few modern day prominent rappers who consistently talk about social and personal issues (insert played out Cliffy B meme)

I love the Metro Boomin ignorant shit that bumps in the whip as much as anyone, but there is definitely of disbalance of subject matter in the genre, even more so than there was previously.

Who else do the people got? Kendrick, ermm, Logic? Maybe Tribe, but they're officially done now.

The beats on Curren$y's 12/30 tape are so frigging good. I hope we get the Fetti tape soon and I hope it is this smooth. Spitta is so good.

Listening to madvillainy for the first time.......Is this really supposed to be some classic shit?!

Came out of the new-golden era where there was a lot of experimental underground shit bubbling at the time. I feel like Madvillainy is largely a "Had to be there" kinda thing. Both the production and lyricism was far left of a lot of contemporary shit.

Doesn't sound like much in the context of today imo.
 
This new Big Sean track is actually pretty good. Sean Don might just surprise me after all.

Beyond that, I think I realized why I don't like J. Cole: his beats suck. I'm definitely more of a beats guy than a lyrics guy, and considering the fact most of Cole's beat selection on 4YEO is so droll and tepid, it's no wonder I don't like that album at all. Hell, even on 2014 Forest Hills Drive, the only real song I enjoyed was "No Role Modelz" and that's really only because that beat was something unique. J. Cole needs a project with some really good beats, otherwise I'm guaranteed to skip his future projects unless told otherwise.

This is great. Like genuinely funny. I wonder if the story's legit, or if this is some 5th dimension music video chess.
It's probably fake.

I mean, when have stars ever acted like divas, shown up late to shoots, made themselves seem more important than they are, or have just generally been douches?
 
Nahhh man, that Thugga vid is way more creative than Migos and/or their director doing hip-hop Revenant. Like, maybe if they went all the way and had sex with a bear like Leo did, but otherwise nah. It's actually kinda genius to use Young Thug's odd rockstardiva mystique to make a video out of how he didn't show up to make the video.

Pusha hasn't released a project since 2015, it was solid though.

Also Wyclef Jean >>>>>>>>>> T-Shirt. So much more creative and more than just an aesthetic on a standard rap video.

Man, worst thing about being banned is having to use the white theme on GAF.


Video of the Year.

Santa Sauce is so good. Still listening all-day. Can't get enough of Hamza. Don't remember the last time I listened to one artist so much for so long in the last 10 years.

Black Messiah was pure bliss.

Thanks for doing this! Not liking the result too much. Ye and Kendrick shouldn't be on there, but at least Noname is.

Ka will forever be one of those GAF-Hop things I don't understand. Dude seems cool as a person after reading that article about him a while ago, but the music is too monotonous for me even though I like the atmospheric, moody sound. Some artists you have to try getting into a few times, maybe someday it will click for me.

Fake-EDIT: Okay, listening to his new album right now and, man, the production is dope again. I just don't like his flow and voice as much. But I honestly find this one easier to get into. Might give it a few more listens now.

Wait, what did Tax say?

This is why I don't discuss BioShock with others.

Come on Koozek, I expected better from you.
Funny thing is, it wasn't even about FF discussions, which I admittedly had many heated ones in the last years especially w.r.t. FFXV. Reason was just a recycled troll post from an older FFVIIR thread where someone posted an old Versus XIII interview with Nomura and replaced every "Versus XIII" with "FFVIIR" making people think it was a real new FFVIIR interview. Joke is that most of his recent comments on FFVIIR and KH3, sound (scarily) similar to the ones we've been hearing about Versus for years back in the days ('06-'11) without being shown any substantial footage, which is why people fell for the troll. Anyway, someone read my post and immediately made a thread out of it without checking the source first, which would've lead to the original Versus interview, lol.

yeah, youll just do other equally embarrassing Final Fantasy related things on the internet
