Pusha isn't doing gold anytime soon. Probably by the end of 2014 if he's lucky.

I mean there are always exceptions, I don't mean to say they are always poor imitations. but no I don't like Statik. Dude is really inconsistent for me. I don't really check for a premo track just because his name is attached to a beat. Maybe in the past yeah.

Well what I'm trying to say is that a lot of the artists from the 90s (Raekwon, Method Man, Rakim, Mobb Deep) has tried to implement the current sound into their music, and the result is always terrible.

While some current artists implement the 90s sound into their music (Kendrick, Gibbs, Joey Badass, Alchemist) has all been appreciated at least.

It seems the best rappers these days are the guys from the 90s who can still rap (Ghostface, Kool G. Rap, Eminem, Killah Priest), or guys today who can rap with influences from the 90s (Kendrick, Gibbs etc..).

I am a bit lost as to what that has to do with me thinking Berzerk sounds like a poor beastie boys track tbh.

but I don't really disagree with what you are saying aside from a few names but that would be nitpicking

Oxy
MNIMN

there you have it gents
Click to expand...
Pretty much all there is for me. I agree that it seems like Oxy might not come out this year. Think they may try and make 2014 a TDE year like 2012.

Old probably won't leak because they're streaming it on the 30th. Where is my fools gold deluxe edition?

It was hard to take HHNF seriously after Fishscale crushed the building that year. HHNF isn't bad but is criminally overrated as coke rap.

dudes need to step their story game up, g

Fishscale is overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's a great album, but it's nowhere near HHNF, especially sonically. The sound that The Neptunes created for HHNF is basically what coke rap should sound like IMO, cold, minimalistic and ruthless, I have no idea why other producers haven't tried to emulate that sound.

I would KILL to hear Ghost and Rae rapping over those beats, but Pusha and Malice did more than good enough.

In my Film class tutorial, whilst discussing the relation between the historical popularity of certain film genres and societal changes at the time.

"So can anyone describe what the Cold War was about?"
*silence; no one raises their hand*
"Really? No Lil B fans in here?"

Was flabbergasted, but it was awesome.

The teacher asked that?

You should have responded, "Who are you? Janelle Monae?"

HHNF vs. Fishcale is always a funny argument to me. We can't have 2 good coke rap albums guys?

I can't imagine how it was when they first came out.

fishscale had good beats, better beats than hhnf overall but some of the worst lyrical work ghost has ever done (besides songs like shakey dog)

hhnf had good hooks, a cohesive experience, and solid raps with tons of quotables

hhnf wins in a landslide tbh, fishscale is mediocre and remembered well because it was the last ghost albumt o get a major push and came out at a good time. its also babys first gfk album

That's fine. It irks me when they start claiming that he's bringing "real hip-hop" back though. I never say anything since it's pointless.

Really? Aftermath did a great job with Kendrick, but he had a ton of stuff going for him.

You'd think Q would at least wait till his debut drops until he puts on the pounds.

Kendrick's music was so dope he didn't even need aggressive character/personality marketing.

I wish there was a TV show where rappers could get their image reinvented, shit would be hilarious

I think image-wise, Kendrick is definitely boring and bland. Like Esch said, the music spoke for itself, but Swimming Pools was a lucky break. I don't think anyone expected that song to be even a quarter as big as it was. I was still expecting a real single after that one, almost like Swimming Pools was the street single.

Q needs more prevalent marketing just because of how less interconnected he is, and obviously because he's following up a juggernaut in the game so you do have to make those constant associations. I can't even tell you what Aftermath did for Kendrick, did they even do anything? I don't think they tried.
