[olympia]

Vince knows this. His response was pretty much the best way to handle responding.

you're right.

 

[IrishNinja]

EDIT 2: New GOOD Music Lineup:

CyHi dropped, Mos Def dropped, HXLT dropped.

i understand all those drops, but how you gonna keep tyga & sean and not post that image ironically

[Nabs]

A short break from rap. This EP is really smooth:

SiR - Her (2DopeBoyz)

 

[Eos]

Filthy 7-Up Dos in stores soon.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

TImmy Turner's audio alone has 50 mil views on youtube so Desiigner will be at least young thug level relevant for a while.

god, i can't knock a hustle but tyga is like that deadbeat dude that hung on to britney in the day

didn't ya'll say this about dudes with much better efforts though like 2chainz & other names im forgetting

 

[FZZ]

Tiimmy Turner already hit top 40 on the hot 100

I'm at least giving Desiigner til his album drops

at least that one song hes been performing sounds fire

 

[overcast]

Neither WTT or WATTBA impressed me at all. Haven't revisited either since their release month. If it wasn't for the big singles catching on, I'd have forgotten about them tbh

Yeah, I feel like WTT aged particularly bad. I only revisit Gotta Have It and No Church.

 

[HiiiLife]

Damn why they go and drop the legendary cyhi. #SoAppalled

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah i was gonna say somethin about mos def but then he's been mos defing it up for like a decade and a half now

 

[overcast]

Mos Def is stuck in Africa right? Doesn't have a visa or some shit

 

[Koozek]

 

[HiiiLife]

Damn never realized how much he look like sheen

 

[Koozek]

Mos Def is stuck in Africa right? Doesn't have a visa or some shit

Talib talked about it a bit on the Drink Champs podcast.

Or read this:

The Department of Home Affairs spokesperson Mayihlome Tshwete said while the 42-year-old rapper entered the country on a US visa, he has overstayed his visitors' permit, which expired in 2014.

Bey was arrested after trying to leave the country using an "unrecognised world passport”.​

 

[studyguy]

How did I never see this???

Desiigner is low key the new season of Jimmy Neutron

 

[IrishNinja]

Bey was arrested after trying to leave the country using an "unrecognised world passport”.

yeah this sounds like the type a shit he'd have too

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Mos Def is stuck in Africa right? Doesn't have a visa or some shit

I don't think he's complaining, perhaps.

 

[studyguy]

corny

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Ah shit yeah!

 

[kai3345]

rtj was a mistake

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

rtj was a mistake

Their first two albums are excellent (high 8s), so nah.

 

[OG Kush]

listened to Skee-lo's debut album I Wish in full the other day, way better than i expected honestly, really nice album.

Just listened to it for the first time after seeing your post. All I had heard from him before was his "I wish track".

Damn this album is pretty good! I actually like it a lot, going to listen to it some more though. Also, his track "This is How it sounds".... that beat, I've heard it before! Or the sample maybe. Maybe people have done some freestyles/mixtape tracks over it.. fake edit just did a google search. Thug Life used the same sample in "Bury me a G".

A short break from rap. This EP is really smooth:

SiR - Her (2DopeBoyz)

This is nice. Added it my spotify.

 

[IrishNinja]

i need to revisit that skee-lo shit, yeah...that and ahmad both

RTJ stays nice, despite, you know, some elements of their fanbase

 

[PBY]

RTJ was always corny

Some of it bangs, but ya'll know thats gonna age like trash

I say this after paying to see them live twice and buying their records

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Given that el-P's previous shit didn't age poorly I'm not sure why RTJ would. First album was whatever but the second album was really really good.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I've never met any RTJ fans in real life. Stories?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I've never met any RTJ fans in real life. Stories?

1. they always white
2. RTJ is the only rap they've heard outside the radio
3. they vote for Trump cuz Bernie laust

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Heh heh heh heh heh.

The Bernie and Killer Mike bond was really weird, on another note.

 

[Hitta93]

RTJ was always corny

Facts.

 

[m3k]

Facts.

killa mike getting shine not so bad

perhaps his next solo will sell more as a result

hahah hard same

 

[Bacon]

Rtj is the only rap I've been able to get my dad into. I still like their music but that said a lot to me

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Dad rap, LOL.

How about Mom rap? My mom likes A Tribe Called Quest, Drake, The Roots, Guru, and a few others. She actually likes most rap but she's never been into the lyrical content of the more hardcore rappers, but she doesn't disparage it at all. She's progressive for her age.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Anyway, this is the first time listening to a Gil-Scott Heron album. I dig this.

 

[Koozek]

Dad rap, LOL.

How about Mom rap? My mom likes A Tribe Called Quest, Drake, The Roots, Guru, and a few others.

I like your mom.

Spoiler

She single?

Only Rap album my parents probably know in and out is actually The Fugees' The Score that we recently talked about here. My brother brought it with him on our family vacation that one summer when I was a kid and we all listened to it every morning. Good times.

But my mom actually often says she likes it when she hears Rap I'm listening to (she doesn't understand English, though).

My mom haaaates rap, but loves drake lol

 

[illadelph]

Lol, that's controversial. Common got flak for that back then, he even talked about it once in an interview.

that's crazy, I had no idea. I just always assumed everyone thought his verse was dope like I did

Yooo, I've been preaching about this!!! It's a really fun, lighthearted album with smooth-ass 90's beats. I listened to it a lot as a kid through my older brother.

https://play.spotify.com/album/34hLOvajp6WQOGlt6CNLSA

I really need to listen to this

i downloaded this and got a text message from some number saying thanks for downloading my album, if you want me to do more please donate. i texted back saying i think its great and good job. he texted back and said "thanks". i dont remember entering my phone number tho ..

hahaha

i need to revisit that skee-lo shit, yeah...that and ahmad both

I can definitely vouch for Ahmad's first album (he apparently had a second one I've never heard), shit puts me in the best mood when I hear it.

Ordinary People was definitely a highlight for me

 

[Koozek]

My mom haaaates rap, but loves drake lol

How would she like Norf Norf?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

My mom haaaates rap, but loves drake lol

Is it Drake's more singing tracks her favorite, though? Because there are different type of Drake songs, breh.

I like your mom.

Nah, she isn't. She's also almost 60, anyway.

It's interesting that you mentioned language and the lack of barrier. Sometimes rap just sounds and feels good despite not knowing any lyrics or being able to understand them.

Yo, this Ahmad is smooth. It's similarly lighthearted as that Skee-Lo album.

 

[overcast]

corny

Yeah it is. But they're getting money and gears 4 seems dope. So meh. Lame tho.

Facts.

Naw. El-P and Killer Mike are dope people and they make dope music.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Corny is the last thing I expected RTJ to be described as, honestly. I don't think their lyrical content is all that exciting, but yeah.

Generic is more like it (even though neither of them slouch as rappers, obviously).

I would say because of, not despite. Sometimes I wish my English hadn't become as natural-sounding to me because it makes certain stuff suddenly sound cornier than back in the days when you didn't quite get everything. Funny thing is, with certain songs I'm 100% that if it was in German I would find it wack or cheesy. Though, I think it's still easier for me than for you guys to sometimes turn the switch off in my head and only hear, not consciously listen, to English Rap if I want to vibe, like when I bump Thugga. It's getting increasingly harder, though, as I pretty much listen/watch/read/write more in English than German on most days now (my actual speaking/pronunciation is still weak, with the occasional German accent shining through and tripping over words with too many successive "w" and "r"s - I wouldn't be able say something like "where worrying warranties were", lol).


We linguistics class now.

 

[olympia]

my mom also likes tribe

Dang I ain't even kno French cancelled his shit. That's crazy. His album was a fun listen

 

[Syphon Filter]

Dang I ain't even kno French cancelled his shit. That's crazy. His album was a fun listen

How come it got cancelled?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Dang I ain't even kno French cancelled his shit. That's crazy. His album was a fun listen

I actually think it's one of his stronger solo projects. I really like the album. He should just drop it for free. What a mess.

 

[HiiiLife]

How come it got cancelled?

Samples it sounds like part of the reason. Wouldn't be surprised if the leak had anything to do too. Also there's a funny part bout him thinking he can vote during the interview lol
