Support NeoGAF

[siddx]

4th listen through, Goblin is still a 6/10 for me. Way too much bullshit on the album. Some really great tracks, but quite a bit garbage that I can barely listen to.
But I seem to be in a minority here. Although I am predicting a Kanye like backlash when the hype subsides and the album doesn't hold up over time.
I do however think that Tyler has it in him to release a monstrous album in time, after he has evolved and honed his skills more. He just isn't there yet, not even close. He's that promising high school athlete that could potentially play in the NBA one day if he continues progressing, or he could self destruct and end up with Canibus in the "I was supposed to take over hip hop" retirement home. I think a lot of hype comes from his potential, not his actual current ability.

 

[Complex Shadow]

I can't figure out why GAF doesn't like tity.

That first verse is classic. "What I really know bout a girl that drive a honda?"

i just call her boo
i think her name is Shawna

thats classic shit right there.

I agree 100%. I get why people like Tyler, but i dont get the high praise for the actual material.

 

[Jay Sosa]

Dude have you heard Longterm Mentality, please tell me someone else has?

...Oh yeah this was dope, Jay Rock was kinda off though actually...Ab-Soul's verse was indeed better than I remembered

Not yet...have enough stuff to listen to (bought the Linton Kwesi Johnson Bass Culture and soime Jimmy McGriff album..sooo brilliant) but will buy it later this year. Like I posted before I usually don't like to paying for digital copies but they gave me so much good music I'll see it as a donation. And hell yeah Black Hippie>everyone else..I love how they're so diverse. You have K.Dot the introspective one, Jay Rock the Gangsta, Ab Soul the broke and funny dude and Q..well Q is just awesome

Also dld that Jay Rock From the hood to the cover of the XXL tape, that shit is WC Gangsta rap at it's finest.

What is this? Who does it consist of? What should I cop?

Does ANYONE read my posts? I just praise them few days ago..

I know I'm extremely late but I finally listened to Ab Souls tape, Long Term 2. For some weird reason I always thought he's just the hypeman of Black Hippie, but the tape is just as awesome as Qs, K.Dots and Jay Rocks. I even go as far and say they are the most talented collective in rap, right next to OF.

I especially love how he talks about his struggles in a fun and entertaining way, not like Buddens who's depressing as fuck. It's a nice change to all these dudes telling me how rich and fly they are..

I'm gonna go listen to Linkin Park :C

Tyler isn't saying anything new or particularly "shocking." His entire clique is a c-rate early Eminem type attempt at shock rap. And like Eminem, Odd Future has built a nice base of people who don't listen to hip hop and are now shocked and amazed at the "edgy, offensive" lyricism. Yea ok

I finished the album last night and will revise my opinion: it's not bad, but average. He's a good producer; I don't hear many samples here. The lyrics are often vapid and childish, but at times they're brutally honest as well. Unfortunately it's brought down down by filler. At least when Eminem arrived his rapping ability was so un-fuck-withable that even haters couldn't fully hate on him. Tyler is so eager to shock the public while at the same time constantly reminding us he doesn't care about critics or older people - the type of folks who would be shocked by his childish rants. Everything I've seen from him since Yonkers suggests he wants to be a superstar and win awards, which conflicts with his lyricism.

Budden and Royce both speaking shit about Bis for a while now, Bis finally had enough and decided to go at them niggars.

Canibus came correct.

How is he Elvis? And he has dropped people close to him before(Obie). D12 just arent that good, and Em was the only thing keeping them relevant. Slaughterhouse is a fantastic group made up of some very talented individuals. D12 made a ton of money because of Em, but they ran their course. Em will never completely drop them, but you gotta put your efforts where they are deserved.

Just listened to it, sounds like Bis is still ass-hurt from something said a long time ago, its kinda pathetic.

Edit: Lmao, he actually was bitching about twitter...Im sorry, i cant take anyone seriously when they are trying to act hard then they bitch about twitter accounts.

I am pretty sure D12 is paid pretty well for doing what they do, which in actuality is nothing. They are pretty much identical to almost every crew out there attached to a big name rapper. Only famous cause of that rapper and make more money then they should be off of one name.

Or maybe its true but the first time I am hearing of D12 having any money issues with Eminen

I know that this is just saying whats always been said... but he's just a kid. He's been really honest when he says he wants to be famous and sell out or whatever but he also mentions how he just wants to loiter and skate with his buddies like he used to before all this famous. He knows he's hypocritical sometimes but I think he's just conflicted with everything.

On a non-related note, does anyone over the age of 15 listen to dumb shit like "Loud Pockets" by Young L? GAF-HOP doesn't listen to awful shit like that, do you?

For the most part I'm out of the loop with what's cool and good now, but I just heard it and it represented everything retarded with popular rap/hip hop/whatever

Whats really suspect is that he is calling out Denaun as having money issues..I dont see how thats possible because i always see his name attached to various peoples songs as producer...Plus after Proof died, he was the one always by em's side as the hype man...

 

[dskillzhtown]

Got the new(?) Freeway mixtape yesterday, "Philly Freezer".

Not as good as "Stimulus Package", but I like it. The standout track is 'Hustle Baby'.

Too bad probably only 10,000 or so people will even know this exists.

Yeah its just another random line that gets thrown in a battle rap to sound controversial. You mean the guy who is Em's producer, hype man, and part of a group of close friends (d12) actually has money issues? I doubt it. He of all the D12 members would be set with money since he actually produces for artists. Or maybe this is just to draw D12 into the beef as well?

Eminem better not even try. He just isn't the same to get into a beef and not get clowned.

Bis is responding to Budden and Royce dissing him. This is the problem, people think Bis is doing this for no reason. He stayed quiet for a long while but them both wouldnt shut up.

Also Bis confirms that somebody close to Proof called Bis and said how D-12 are not eating.

How is he Elvis?

I'm going to guess its along the lines of he took black music and made shit loads of money off it, something like that. I remember Em said it as a way to piss people off in one his earlier songs can't remember which one, someone will remember.

No, i understand that he needs to say shit, but then his rant on D12 was comical. He has a source that someone close to proof(who is dead) said D12 is not eating. Im pretty sure there would be more out there than "a source close to a dead member of the group" if that were true. And that Elvis comment was petty. Em has acknowledged the fact that he is white in a predominantly black genre. He didnt steal anything tho, which was always directed at elvis. Just seems like a cheap shot at someone that probably hasnt uttered Bis's name in a long time. I like Cannibus, i dislike D12, im lukewarm on Slaughterhouse( i felt their debut was kinda weak). But i just think his comments on D12 and Em is a bit off.

Fuck Canibus, dude is completely irrelevant for good reason

Eminem took D12 out of Detroit, went around the world touring with them, and got them paid. If they're hurting for anything today it's due to their financial decisions. And Em is still very close with Mr. Porter, who is his hype man and one of the most sought after producers in hip hop.

Slaughterhouse will get their time in the sun before fading too. Eminem IS hip hop. I may not like his new music, but the dude has always been a huge fan of the genre, knows his shit, etc. I'm so glad he's moved away from pure Dre beats and reached out to other producers.

I know it is on the normal mixtape sites like datpiff, mixtapetorrent, etc.

You can't be serious. Canibus has continuously been one of the most over-rated rappers ever. To anyone who is mildly scientifically literate his music is just random gibberish being yelled into your ear until you tap out.


Canibus is definitely one of the worst rappers ever. I have doubts he'd beat Soulja Boy in a battle let alone Royce or Joe Budden.

(Verse)
No matter what I did I tried to love this kid, ever since he was eight
All he ever did was lie and steal from me
Now he's seventeen and I thought that he'd change his ways but when I look at kid
He's still hating on me
It makes me sad to see this kid, he's still hating on me, he's bad I just can't lie anymore
I gotta push him through the door
Recently the kid stole my jewelry, I turn my back and he steals my gun from me
Kid be careful you're gonna shoot someone and end up in jail
A death sentence is that what you want? I know that you really hate me but why did you have to do these things to me. It's not fair you really don't care.
Don't understand why you gotta go this route, don't you understand without a doubt it's the wrong path, understand
