Definition is such a good track, but there's a few on the album i bump more.

If I get the job I'll probably live off those breadsticks.

good luck man!

local radio DJ this morning was on about lil kim talking something about dropping some shit to her publicist that would "end minaj's career", haha - any idea what happened here?

Thanks, I need this. I can't afford going out to eat food with a GF without a job.

I thought Re: Definition is almost as good as the original actually. Though Definition is a classic.

Blackace, im drunk as fuck listening to DJ Quik, give us a Quik Mix. Give it to us. GIVE IT
 
Also, you can't rank eminem albums since he's not a rapper.

Pretty much the funkiest west coast hip hop album ever. So laid back and hilarious.

The Ho in You

Diggin U Out

The beats and rhymes and flow are so on point. Seriously, DJ Quik + summer + driving + rolled down windows = ultimate baller status.
 
sounds decent enough and I've been trying to find new music, thanks.

shinobi what you been up to?!

Album...E1 Music(KOCH RECORDS)..Album.....GAF-HOP MIXTAPE EP..Being a BUM, Fucking Pornstars(Ask Toku)Learning Canto, Monday announcement, and Track next week. And I have Shit load of albums to post. And for me, it was Tuesday...God Bless You GAF.

Honestly, that is kinda cool. Lupe gets a bad rap around here for LASERS(understandably), but the guy is actually very nice.

Lupe gets more of a bad rap for consistently being an idiot with Lasers PR and all his political BS than Lasers itself I think.

still revisiting the previously posted rashad & confidence tracks, i gotta finally hit up that album.

What do you guys think of like an Unappreciated Album of the Week type thing? I'm pretty down to get this going on. I know there's a lot of albums that I haven't heard that I should and now that Wu-Mondays and shit have died out I think it'd be good.

My plan is this. Start at the top of the highest posters in the thread list and work down. If it's your week you get to pick an album on say a Monday. People have until like saturday or sunday to listen to it, and then we discuss, good, bad whatever.

I think Wu Mondays was a little flawed, but a great idea. I wanna get to know more albums, so I think it's a great idea!

i like it, man. if your shit's on spotify it's even easier, but i'm down either way.

this, this, this. loved the cube mix, this shit would be like all the e-water tracks i learned from you.

Nah. For real though, the best eminem album ia probably Pabst and Jazz.

ahahaha, fuckin' kams.

always good to see you round man, glad shit's going well - keep us in the loop dude.

okay, so i'ma speak on the kim/minaj thing like anyone gives a fuck for a second here.

ya'll ate it up when coms took shots on drake, but just as with that, i keep hearing "if kim shoots back, she'll just catch a L/look worse". how the fuck are we gonna talk about hip-hop not respecting its elders because it came from the streets & its mad competitive etc etc but you're supposed to call yourself the queen and be all hard on your last album talking about how you held shit down while junior mafia squealed like bitches, then what, stay silent while some goofy broad on top right now shits all over you in the worst diss track since piggy bank?

the whole YMCMB twitter camp is gonna call you an old washed-up hater whether you respond or not; seeing elements of gaf-hop act like you should just take that shit on the chin is as weird to me as when some of ya'll go on about "relevancy" like this is gaf-hop sales-age.

how the hell can homegirl not respond? yeah, she oughta get back in the studio and make new shit when she's ready, but job # 1 would be a response. get that last word in like com did so drake and crew can say "fuck him!" and toss bitchmade subliminals another day and not ever say shit directly, cause the point was made. i'm saying, by the logic some of ya'll have in here, Nas should've kept his mouth shut after Takeover back in '01 instead of, you know, using that energy to create the best shit he's done since illmatic.

well the thing is, Kim has already SHOT back at nicki with some tracks haha and it looked even worse than the whole Com/Drake thing because she pretty much used it to beef between to promote some mixtape or some shit.

If Kim responds with another diss track in response to that subliminal shit, it's just going to be the same as last time. No one will care.

We don't take female rap all that serious, dude.

yeah man, MC lyte, missy, bahamadia, da brat, lauryn, rah digga, jean grae, eve, buncha fuckin' NOBODIES

yeah, i get that she did it for promotion, what i'm saying is where it's at right now - what, 10 million+ views on her first new track off her next struggle album and again, one of the weakest diss tracks ive heard, you're just saying let that slide?

and again not a lot've the YMCMB stans/mainstream are gonna care, sure, but look how hyped lotsa places (this thread for one) got just to see someone go in on drake. if kim magically pulled half an ether, dudes would care.
ya'll celebrate big ghostface shitting on this crew constantly, but if someone gets into it with em, they shouldn't respond. shit's weird.

Be (Intro) is probably my favorite Kanye produced track.

bold statement given ye's production record, but i'll co-sign this. set the tone for the whole album.

Curious to hear GAF-Hop's favorite opening tracks. I'll kick off with an obvious choice:

Common - Be (Intro)

Kanye's production was at its peak on that album. Be (Intro) is probably my favorite Kanye produced track.

Excellent. Another reason to post more Bone.

HANDS DOWN, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's Da Introduction.

Blew my mind when I found out it was Thuggish Ruggish Bone being played backwards during the beginning of the intro.

Other great intros,

Mobb Deep - The Start of Your Ending (41st Side)

Red Intro - The Fugees - The Score

CunninLynguists - Predormitum (Prologue)

Blu & Exile - My World Is...

Eric B. & Rakim - I Ain't No Joke

GAF-Hop i need some help! Been out of hip hop for the past 3 years or so. Today I've decided to jump back in so I need some recommendations...preferably that's on spotify :)

Fav opening tracks...hmmm...off the top:

DMX- Intro

Nas- Stillmatic

Here's 2010's AOTY thread. You can get a general idea of 2010's effort.

And here's, 2011's.

Well, I'm just saying what you are asking Kim to do is exactly what happened in 2010. Like every detail dude lol. Nicki Minaj released a single/song that becomes really popular that has shots that may or may not be directed towards Lil Kim, Lil Kim takes offense to it, then decides to release a diss track to show nicki she's still the queen, and in the end Nicki Minaj said she had no personal problems with Lil Kim. I'm sure Lil Kim pointed out that Nicki Minaj wouldn't make a straight diss record towards her as well. Yet the subliminal shots continue lol.

I mean if she can make a good diss track then yeah sure go for it, but I don't see why go for it at all.


I don't know about celebrating ghostface though, I just look at it for the laughs. I don't take it that serious.
 
Outkast- You May Die

This was the first thing that popped into my head. I'm going to have to think harder and I never knew that about E. 1999 intro, that's amazing.

Edit: I don't want to bring up kanye again haha, but that Dark Fantasy to me was a pretty good one.

Edit: OOHh, I really liked Cunnilyguists Piece of Strange intro and I dug that Shabazz Palaces Black Up, I actually first listened to it not to long ago but man I didn't know what I was getting into when I first heard this shit.

true - for real though, there's nothing subliminal about stupid hoe, only that she won't sign it "to kim", the rest of it (video and all) is pretty blatant i thought. now i just need to erase that shit from my head...
and yeah, big ghost is mostly fun but there's people that celebrate his shit (i do sometimes, ill admit) just like dudes on gaming do with yahtzee even when he's fucking about.

How do you guys feel about Saigon? He just released his new mixtape Warning Shots 3 and I gotta say I'm digging it. Always hated how he gets the shaft for being a "hardcore" rapper with a message and what not.

Also since you guys are talking female emcees any love for Jean Grae? She kinda proves the female stereotype of no sells if you don't slut it up in the market.

that is true haha, it pretty obvious but that's how rappers are nowadays. I'm sure you'll ask her is it directed to kim and she'll say no haha. like wtf mind as well toss kim's name in as an adlib or something.

haha, i hate that yahtzee shit so much man.

Blu needs to get his shit together. His records don't sell so he NEEDS to be LIVE at his shows 'cause that's your bread and butter as an artist, even when your LP's sell moderately and Blu can't even put up modest numbers. Eventually his reputation of putting on weak shows will bite him in the ass and promoters will stop booking him when the crowds thin out. I personally don't understand his behavior 'cause the way I see it dude is mad blessed to be able to get shows and make money performing when there are lots of artist just a good as he his who still have to slave at a 9-5 to make a living.

I feel like Be and The Corner are the best opening one-two punch...Be is perfect, and the way it flows into The Corner is smooth, then Common goes into super duper lyricist beast mode....soo good
 
Lupe gets more of a bad rap for consistently being an idiot with Lasers PR and all his political BS than Lasers itself I think.

but who gives a fuck. at least he isnt an obnoxious ass like 'Ye and plenty of people around here are all over his nuts.
Lupe is still hella more talented than most of these industry lames. I dont care that he's having trouble finding himself. I dont care if he spouts conspiracy theories and has a rock band on the side. I just dont care.

Ye has a fantastic personality, I'd love to meet Ye. If I hung out with Ye, he'd be all talking about ill Wu-Tang records the entire time, or some real music shit. If I met Lupe, I feel like he'd be telling me all about how grapes are ruining society, and how we must pester the agriculture industry to change their regulations for a better tomorrow.

The problem with Lupe is he said dumb shit for a year, and everyone was like LASERS will redeem him! And then Lasers dropped, and although I enjoyed it a tad more than others, it was not enough. So now he's officially certified psycho, at least with Ye so far I don't have an indication he's lost his mind as in a rapid downward spiral in his quality of music. He certainly hasn't SHOWN he's much more talented than the industry lames with the releases he's put out. Lupe, I'm not so sure, and with mediocre efforts (or lack thereof) like Friend of the People, I'm not sure what else we have to judge the kind of music we'll get at the end of the day from him, or anyone really, without judging where they're at in their lives right now. And I can only criticize and look down on the loss of someone who could've been a great.

If anything, I wish Kanye and Lupe switched spots right now. Kanye makes the best music when shit is going down in his life and he's inspired (College Dropout, 808s, MBDTF), and Lupe makes his best music when he's at the top of the world and not making desperate grabs for attention (F&L, The Cool).
