Story by Clipping is king of the whammy ending in hip hop as far as I'm concerned.

I gotta go with a classic, this being I Used to Love H.E.R. But honestly, TPAB is full of these moments. It's not just one moment, but tons of them.
weebay.gif. First time listening to that, really dig it and I love that I can go back and check out the references. TPAB certainly did have a few of them but none really resonated with me. Maybe I need more life experience lol.

Oh man, I saw clipping live yesterday night and to hear the whole place come alive when "Wriggle", "Body and Blood", and "Story 2" came on was fucking unreal.
One of my favorite concerts ever.
Fuck that sounds amazing, jealous as right now ._. I hope they come to NZ at some point, Wriggle live especially looks like a mental time.

That's kind of his point, like I could complain about some of the stuff he says, but at the end of the day he's like a Cinema Sins for rap and that's fine.
I had to take a break from his videos for awhile though, now I just go back occasionally.

His taste is questionable at times. I mean he likes Hopsin, and his favorite rap album is Camp.
JMSN quietly been one of the most fire R&B cats going for a minute now. This ain't an exception

I kind of fell off of him after listening to his podcasts and hearing some of his comments on Jay in them, which kind of make sense that he'd have that perspective considering his general taste/opinions.
I most recently watched his video on 21 Questions, was okay.
Didn't know Camp was his favorite rap album though, that seems insane to me, liking Hopsin as well.
This gif lmao.woke up to niggas sounding like me
Sure, I'll listen to it. Expecting 2-3 surefire bangers and a step up from views shouldn't be tough to accomplish.
Basically.
You should see his music video.

that was funny. but I think a bigger L was when Danny Brown called Jay Rock the "ringo starr of black hippy"
it was funnier back when Ab Soul released control system though. now neither of them matter.

"Sex, murder and mayhem - romance for the street
Only wife of mines is a life of crime
And since life's a bitch in mini-skirts and big chests
How can I not flirt with death?
That's life's enigma, long as life's within us
We gonna sin a lot and pray that Christ forgive us
Fuck it!
Ice the wrists and raise the price on these niggas
Y'all can't floss on my level!"
Amoral arrogant boss bully Jay is best Jay.
"Fuck it!"

Vince Staples' New LP is titled "Big Fish Theory".
Kind of a dumb lazy cover but whatever
God damn, I mean...was he wrong?
Bless upppp

I hope he releases it soon.
I'm a bit scared for the quality though because of the quick turnaround between releasing Summertime, then Prisma Donna, and now this new album. But I hope Vince can drop another phenomenal album.
Let's be real he could release dogshit in a bag and you'd step on it imagining it to be fire.
Vince Staples' new album is apparently called 'Big Fish Theory'.
Hyped already
EDIT: Already posted. Still hype

The thirst isn't real until people haven't even hit their girls because they're waiting on the album to drop.
Wasn't that the case during the TLOP pre-release hype, lol?

I could try denying it, but then I'd just be lying to myself.
The boy Vince hasn't let me down once yet, so if he leaves a flaming bag of dogshit on my front door you'd better believe I'm going to jump on that thing with full force.
FlyLo says "Kuso" and, by extension, the soundtrack should be releasing sometime this summer.

I'll do it.
Rap Critic I do like but sometimes I feel he puts too much stock into lyrics over other things in rap. I'll still watch him regularly, but his Mues Podcast are....sometimes good, sometimes not.
Ringo was great though.

Ab Soul is the Pete Best of TDE.
Me.
I want to listen to it. There are always a couple tracks I enjoy.
But I'm def more excited for the new Vince Staples.

That movie will suck, the og power ranger suits are much better.
Koozek and Torre are gonna be the first to download it anyway. Disregard the hate. It's a ruse.

True, but that's just so I'll be the first with the hot-takes.
Gotta keep up my music cred somehow.

RD>Illmatic
Andrew Korenchkin

It's as lyrically impressive, but Illmatic is simply more consistent.
Bounceounce
Member
I was deluded then, Jay destroys that track lyrically and the essence punchline/the build up to it is one of the greatest of all time.
Yep, I prefer RD but I have to rank Illmatic over it, nothing on Illmatic dips as low as Cashmere Thoughts (which while not being bad isn't necessary or great like the rest of the album).
Illmatic is just monster song after monster song.

Dam funny how opposite we are in this case lol.

They say sex is a weapon, so when I shoot
Meet your death in less than 8 seconds
Whew.
I'm surprised you actually like Illmatic better. Though since Nas' discography is pretty underwhelming after It Was Written (which is an 8/10 album really), it can be argued Jay-Z had the better career, I guess.

How you figure? I am is great, Nastradamus is underrated(yea I said it!), Stillmatic is amazing an might be my favorite from him, God son is also great and underrated. The rest are good too even if they arent on the same level.

It's gotta be the beats for one, and subject matter wise....he can't interest me.
