The girlfriend brought a cd today for an hour long drive. I usually pick the music so I said yeah cool.

She brought that Linkin park jay z mashup album. Funny thing is I actually liked it.

That's a good one.

I liked the Jay-Z mashups with Hendrix and another one with Fela Kuti as well.

I'm not even trying to boast about the session, but this is the closest I've ever gotten to actually shedding some tears in a sad plug party.

That's what I'm saying. Like a pyramid scheme, he would sign bums or whatever and mine them for a hit, but the only dudes really caking were the ones at the top, and P was stacking cash on a different level than the others. Now, that's not particularly different or out of the ordinary for a rap label or music industry in general, but I feel like P dangled the record signing in front of way too many bums. No Limit is the Cutco of the rap game, and just like Cutco the product wasnt really great either.

I kinda like C Murder and Mystikal though.



Do it on thursday brah, that way I can join and generally more people come on that day.

They had insane inhouse production...

No problemo.

Those ones and the Shaolin Jazz and Wu-Tang/Jimi Hendrix mashup are probably my favorite tapes of that sort.

 

[CountBlack]

LVL is probably in my top 5 favourite beats this year.

 

[DominoKid]

one of the few LiveLove level tracks on the album.

 

[enzo_gt]

Exactly a year ago, wasn't all of GAF-Hop clowning Clams for LVL? I remember being one of the few, maybe the only say it was fire.

Sounds familiar to me.

Sitting in my last class of the summer. Gonna bump Banger in my headphones once I get out. Get hype.

Man KTT is the fucking best.

I tried listening to Destiny Altered but I still can't really get into it. Deniro had it up for free on Bandcamp earlier this year. I downloaded it then but didn't listen at all until relatively recently. There are definitely some stand out tracks ("No First Night Sex ", "Rich Ass N***a", "Minivan", "Fucking Ridiculous"), but I think the audio quality is really hampering my enjoyment here. I find myself adjusting the volume as I listen way more often than I'd like since there are some songs where I can barely hear the dude. That doesn't really seem to be a common complaint online though. Been wondering if it's just me.

Deniro is really monotonous in terms of content and how he approaches tracks. Going through an entire project of his is consistently draining and retreading territory IMO. Hurts his projects as a whole.

Never liked Ahwlee beats that much but MNDSGn caught my attention.

Nope, it's one of the few legit "great" songs on the album.

 

[PBY]

FUCK

MOTM 1 is so good.

"My World" is such an underappreciated song. Wish 2013 Kanye would drop a verse over that song.

 

[Esch]

They had insane inhouse production...

This is true, but Siddx clowning them on the mic front aint far off. No Limit definitely set the bar pretty low there. I admire P's hustle and think they had some classic tracks and enjoyable albums within reason, but overall im eh

 

[overcast]

Poor guy.

Hahaha that auto correct.

I agree about My World, Peter. Cudi used to make dope, highly relatable music.

Certified Classic.

 

[mooooose]

no one liked LVL last year

 

[Tokubetsu]

no one liked LVL last year

I've always maintained it as one of the best cuts on that album. It's way better than Hell.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Tokubetsu, have you heard Marci Beaucoup?

Squeeze....Ka might have the verse of the year brehs.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

I'm feeling that Lox EP. I added the Hood Pound Cake to it and its a really nice end of the year listen.

 

[Macca]

lol Skrillex outproduced Clams something fierce on that album

 

[Esch]

Saw Anchorman II tonight. Delivered.

 

[mooooose]

LVL is the best song on the album

longliveasap is a pretty dope song

jodye and angels have hot beats but are just diss songs and boring

bad bad album

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Saw Anchorman II tonight. Delivered.

Nice. I'm gonna go see America Hustle in two days, after that I'll see Anchorman sometime.

 

[DominoKid]

found this gem back from myself back when the Rocky album leaked

"if there are 10 better rap albums than Rocky's in 2013 then its gonna be a damn good year."

i don't have 10 better albums but 2013 was pretty good.

 

[overcast]

Saw Anchorman II tonight. Delivered.

Wow, seriously? Thought it looked bad. Though it has been getting nice reviews for a comedy sequel.

Songs that are dope on long live:
Title track
Lvl
1Train
PMW
Ghetto Symphony
Angels

 

[Esch]

Rocky album has a few good tracks for sure, just some straight dingers that mess it all up. Its a really transparent, telegraphed piece of music honestly. And theres nothing wrong with that but you gotta have god tier singles and you gotta have fun with it. ASAP is dead on the inside. Theres no cheer, no hunger, not even genuine greed in his music. Hes like a trill robot, hip hop tin man with no heart.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Tokubetsu, have you heard Marci Beaucoup?

Squeeze....Ka might have the verse of the year brehs.

Love it. I actually love the pirate dude's verse on "Didn't Know."

 

[CRS]

Woah. Boom bap goodness. The beats and this rapper reminds me a lot of Q-Tip.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

ahwlee x mndsgn

this is really amazing man. best christmas inspired mix i've heard in like forever

 

[PBY]

Random call out

Berner's Drugstore Cowboy- super underrated tape this year. Hes so mediocre, but hes serviceable on these beats which are soooo dammmnn smooth.

 

[Esch]

I used to think Drake made simpy music but nah. I heard that Jason DeRulo Marry Me song out today. Dude is like the Michael Phelps of this shit. Him and Bruno Mars neck and neck.

 

[enzo_gt]

FUCK

I don't give that song enough credit either if I'm honest.

MotM is a certified classic in my eyes. There's nothing else like it or has a vibe like it. And the feels. The feels.

Makes me so angry with where CuDi has taken his career.. I've really, really warmed up to MotM2 but everything afterwards is just directionless. I almost wish MotM3 just reflected back on the shit he was going through that made him put out Indicud and WZRD.

Few of the new school have fallen as far as CuDi. Still makes me sad even if he puts out an okayish song every once in a while. Just feels like he's squandered the back end of his career.

Yes!

 

[Esch]

Its pretty good. I definitely laughed a ton, and it pays just enough homage/reinterpets jokes from the the original without feeling overly fanservicey or lacking in creativity like say the Austin Powers sequels. Good solid B comedy and if you enjoyed the original theres no reason anyone shouldnt go see it. Unless you're trying to wait for Netflix, which is what it is I guess.

It also helps that I haven't seen anything Will Ferrell in years tho

Oh man. Can't wait. When even you like something, you know that shit is gonna be gold

@HollowDaDonLOM 2h
@HollowDaDonLOM vs @iAmLoadedLux is hosted by @SHAQ and @drake......buy tickets to witness yourself Jan. 26

This event is just getting crazier and crazier. I hope the audio isn't shitty like every other UW Battle though. Shaq hosted Lux' tape and Hollow has been tight with Drake for a years upon years (he's the one who gave Drake the Started From The Bottom beat).

Drake is actually really bout this battle rap shit too. Beyond showing up to events, he sponsored the entirety of KOTD's World Domination 4, and also bet Nelly over who would win the Hitman Holla vs. Hollow match 2 years ago.
