My number one album so far is, Arms and Hammer from Strong Arm Steady. Straight up west coast right there. Album fucking bangs hard!
Big Sean featuring Lupe Fiasco Dont Wait For Me (Produced by No I.D. & Exile)
This seals it, I guess I will be buying Finally Famous.

The beat on 100 keys is bonkers. Finally Famous does get weaker as it goes on but there's tons of bangers on there. It's a solid summer album. I Do It, My Last, Dance, Livin This Life, So Much More and 100 Keys are all great songs*.The M.O.B said:
The top 3 albums this year all come from artist(s) that spit hot fiyah.
Also, can someone ID the the CuDi song in this video? Sounds a lot like Empire State of Mind with the drums but I've never heard this song before.
*this post was inspired by Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay.

As much as I love the beat, to me it's even more important to hear Sean rap about something other than how fly he is..eww now Lupe came on..well maybe the track isn't so good after all.
Did he always sound like that? He sounds kinda southernish.
Now the song is over..only 2 verses? That's it? Oh well.. maybe when it's 5 bucks in a year from now.
Biggest let down of the year has to be Bad Meets Evil. I wanted to be wrong about it, but I wasn't. Not even one salvageable song.
EDIT: Maybe Welcome to Hell. Even then, it's only a glimpse of what it should have been. It was the only track direction I liked, but midway through it just devolved to bars on bars on bars on bars.

Oh you, everyone knows it was your favorite album and Royce is your hero.
for real though, it being bars upon bars is like complaining that when I listened to flockaveli there weren't enough bars upon bars. If you want super lyrical miracle bars all up in your rectum rap, you'll enjoy bad meets evil. If you'd rather listen to someone recite rhymes written by their 9 year old nephew, you wont, and will enjoy flocka instead. We don't love you less for preferring the second kind, ya moldy oldy.
You guys don't find it fatiguing from beginning to end?
Welcome 2 Hell starts off alright until it just degenerates in Em and Royce blabbering. Living Proof had the chance to be great. Good form from Royce as far as delivery....then Eminem dropped his second verse about another man in 2011.
I may not like the material Royce decides to release, but I know he's a real enough dude to be creeped the hell out at old man Eminem staring at him across the room writing a song about him. After Em got off that tip the end of his verse was good.
The best Em I've heard since Marshal Mathers LP is 50 Ways. Some of the wackier stuff on Relapse was good too.
The Rolling Papers shot hurt though, Enzo. Fuck that.

I don't like 50 Ways at all. Sign me up for the camp that enjoyed songs off Relapse. I like 3AM a lot and a couple other tracks off it. Careful What You Wish For in particular:

I guess I should say that 50 Ways is the only "serious" Em style I like. He needs to not sing hooks on serious songs. Never use the screaming flow he uses on Bad Meets Evil and everything else from the past year or two. 75% of his material should be stuff like Rain Man and Ass Like That.

Finally Famous is pretty meh. I Do It is the only song I like.
Now My Closet is a classic:
"Landing pad in my closet,
yeah its bad in my closet,
Billy Jean not my lover but I thrilled her in my closet"

Hell: The Sequel is nowhere near fatiguing. Better pacing than Recovery even. And all the rhymes are consistent and all. I don't really have any criticisms for the EP, maybe the non-traditional song structure and lack of choruses to break it up is off-putting for you?
And whoa, Mannie Fresh is on Carter IV? Sign me the fuck up x2. Wayne making all the right moves. Man, the only reason I ever listened to the Big Tymers was for Mannie Fresh production + rhymes. Real Big would play all day through Midnight Club 3 and would never get old to me. Video is hilarious too.

I hope all these good music beats are a preview of watch the throne.

I was going to say the same thing. Encore in general is just awful, one of the very worst albums ever put out by an established artist. I like silly and ridiculous Em, but Encore was just nonsensical em, spitting complete gibberish.
5 pages(superior 100ppp master race) in 2 days? Fuck, haven't seen this much activity in a while. Few bullet points for the new thread.
Goblin is really only listenable if you're in the mood for it except for Sandwitches
Bitch mob is Mixtape of the year
Oneirology is Album of the year
The weeknd>Frank Ocean
A kiss is the best song off of Hell: the Sequel. I for one, usually hate Bangladesh's beats, but this was crazy.
Waka and Gucci still suck.
Gucci Gucci is still stuck in my head.
Country Shit remix is single of the year.
Jay elec is a fucking shithead.
Done.

Middi - Who's For the Young
Dude is from Pittsburgh. I checked out some other local talent there and they gt some guys that can spit.
It's just funny how some people get some fame and fortune and others have to go work for UPS.

oh hey, while catching up on this thread , i saw kams on @ naughty by nature, just wanted to say, one of my favorite beats from the day. not sure if piano/etc counts as newjack swing, but i love that shit.

It is fatiguing. Yeah the bars are crazy, esp Royce, but 9 straight tracks of Em and Royce screaming and going super fast does get tiring esp when its the same subject for most of the track.
For an EP it works but Em has a terrible habit now of just picking one style and driving into the ground. Accents then screaming then speed flow. What worked for him before was a good mix of anger, humor, emotional, and more crazy humor. Now its just one style and that's it. Still screaming Em is still better than accents Em talking about serial killing.
Careful What You Wish For was awesome.

Even when he was majority humor he still had some serious shit but it was a good mix.
