Not feeling that pro era ep at all. They've all improved rapping wise since peep but they still don't sound at home on the production, they sounded more organic on the jazzy 90's stuff at the very least. The shift to more modern production just feels like they've changed wallpapers, all the furniture is still there, as out of place as it is.
 
from MLB memes that 50 pitch won't go away...

Here he's getting outpitched by a blind kid.

I don't wanna keep talking about that, I just thought this was funny
 
Interesting, the word draft.

I begin my point about Michael Sam by saying the following: though I did not partake in ritualistic homosexual practices while in the music business, I have experimented, with the hope of being struck down by God.

And out of love for Satan.

I do not use the fact I am a recovering rape victim as ammunition to be gay, as I am still perplexed as to the allure of someone of the same sex.

My homosexual endeavors were always out of worship of Satan, as I feel God would totally understand my despondency and melancholy. However, my feelings about homosexuality have not changed. It's wrong and immoral. I pride myself on being extremely conservative, and as I grow in the Gothic deity, my wisdom is growing and developing. And though I do have a few gay friends, I'm tolerant.

Not supportive.

I cannot and do not support Jason Collins or Michael Sam, as their lifestyle makes athletes uncomfortable. Case closed. Blame my Pentecostal upbringing. And I dare you to call me out on my exploits. The being I worship, with all respect to God, knows and has been fed my soul. So don't fukking play with me.

After four quarters of aggression and testosterone, no heterosexual male wants to worry about being eyed-down by a teammate.

Not saying Collins and Sam would do it, but no athlete has the potential to view themselves as an temptation.

An athlete is a beast, and beasts don't like to be admired.

Much like me.

I think it's a kinda fun track, but yeah, it's pretty much just disjointed rapping over a cheap sounding beat. No real flow or hooks to it. I was hoping it'd be better than the freestyle track those guys put out a few months back, but it sounds the same.
 
Has anyone tried listening to the original tracklist for I Am... before? Shit's dope.

I wonder how different Nas' career would have been if this project actually went as planned.
 
Sounds like it was an amicable split, but I wonder what Jay's next move is? Dre pretty much crushed the musical building with the Beats/Apple deal, so I'm not sure there's much left to accomplish there. Maybe Jay is focusing more on sports and plans on bringing some new folks in to guide that process? Russell Wilson is out there as a potential huge signing for instance, maybe Jay is gearing up to take that shot.

One of the best things Jay did was surround himself with smart business people. You can tell that Dame was shitcanned because it became clear he couldn't function in the environment Jay planned on conquering.

I also can't compare this all to Nas (who isn't anywhere near Jay's level or intellect in business), and the Steve Stoute shit. While Stoute rose Nas' status significantly on his second and third albums which were huge successes, overall he was a snake. Nas' new manager seems pretty damn savvy and has secured some interesting stuff including a dope shoe store in Vegas. I'm still surprised at them getting film companies to bid on the Illmatic doc, which has been a success thus far. But then you have idiotic moves like that STUPID clothing line.

He's already got Robby Cano in Seattle too.
 
Noisey goes in on Troy Ave

Troy Ave is nothing more than the next in a line of Mainos, Papooses, Uncle Murdas, Vados, and Saigons: sacrificial lambs who must fall flat on their faces and die in order to further prove that New York is not the center of the hip-hop universe.

This playing-to-the-base rhetoric has helped him gain traction amongst old heads who have had enough of weirdo rappers taking hip-hop in a direction that they neither care for nor understand. When Troy Ave fishes for brownie points by bitching about the fact that Kendrick Lamar wears his shorts above the knee, he’s essentially playing the same bullshit card as when some bozo in a garage rock band complains about dudes getting on the radio by using synths. He’s consistently earned positive press from MTV News, but the vast majority of the posts have been written by a writer named Rob Markman, whose twitter bio reveals that he and Ave have the same manager. Connections such as these help forge the illusion of Ave having a movement in the city, but they do little to actually help him gain traction in terms of convincing actual human beings with ears and brains (which rap journalists are not, generally) to listen to his music.

Yo this shit is hilarious.

If you don’t know who he is, Troy Ave is a rapper from New York who would like you to know that he has sold drugs (in New York) and continues to put on for his city (which, again, is New York). His raps are po-faced retreads of gangster clichés and his beats sound like the Lox passed on them for being boring. He is the last remaining living human who thinks it’s a good idea to solicit Memphis Bleek for a guest verse. One of the members of his BSB crew is named Avon Blocksdale.

This might be the best article ever written. These NY dudes and that weirdo shit is the new way of saying they wack because they're not from NYC. Dude is wack for picking on Chance. That old NYC entitled attitude won't work in 2014. He needs people to play his record to go to the next level. He's another young artist out of NYC trying to prove himself. Mark my words: labeling artists as weirdos will hurt him later on his career. I'm interested to see what TDE has to say about that. I remember Schoolboy Q told Papoose to take out his mother's trash after releasing his diss record so I expect a response at some point.

I'm a CH fan but the antics have to stop. He's done a good job of laying low these past few years but he's popping up for the wrong reasons again. He's a talented artist that went overboard early on in his career. He's the first victim of horrible presence on social media. I hate to even bring this up but there was a video of red pill and his team in NYC talking to Charles about his beliefs. They clowned thee ever loving shit out of him but this is to be expected. In all honesty, he could succeed as a tortured artist seeking redemption but he can't get out of his own way. For the love of god, get rid of the Harlem shit. There are other places in the country he could move and rep for. Portland, Oregon suits him perfectly no shots.

*EDIT*

That article was beautiful. Troy Ave. shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as more prominent harder working Brooklyn rappers. Maino is a legend and we not about to discount that. This young dude is too entitled. Every king put in work and had people crowning them as king. This dude's music sounds old. If I want that classic NYC feel then I'll look at Roc Marciano, Maino, Meyhem Lauren, The Lox, Cormega, and Nas just to name a few. Troy Ave is the rap game Kyrie. Dude is overrated and was handed too much far too soon. I'm a Cavs fan taking shots at my own team.
 
So wait, Charles Hamilton basically doesn't support homosexuality, but he performed homosexuality acts himself in "the worship of Satan"?

....ok
 
Troy Ave is hustling backwards, I'm not going to straight shit on him, he has some good 90s production that doesn't sound dated...but he has no presence, no charisma, nothing. Most of the "new" NY dudes have that one song that isn't a hit but is their big record - the record you can use to sell them to your hip hop head friend or a Pitchfork nerd. Xquire has Huzzah, Bronson has a bunch of shit but this is the biggest, Flatbush Zombies have Face Off, etc...so what does Troy Ave have? I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have any songs with 300k views on youtube lol
 
I ain't even a fan of 50, and I think this is better than his last few albums. Like, I'm just skimming through it real fast and I think I'll go ahead and put it in the car for a spin or two.

That's just me though.
 
Who the fuck is Troy Ave? New York rappers are the fucking worst. They are the kids in class with so much potential but their shitty attitudes and delusions of grandeur stop them from ever being anything more than loudmouths who only impress the stupid and naive motherfuckers in the room.
