Yeah, agree on both points. This hashtag/super duper rap needs to die. It wont, but it needs to.
Good rapper, knows his niche and sticks to it. Would prefer to see him get away from filling his raps with punchlines. Really like his singing voice too.

how was i too late =(
I would like him to move towards what Drake is doing. I also do like his voice, like you said.
What? You think Gambino can pull off that smooth Drake/Weeknd R&B shit?
No, not the same, but i think he could pull off something similar.

Some of my top 10 are in there.
1. Cunninlynguists - Oneirology
2. Doomtree - No Kings
3. Action Bronson - Well Done
4. Shabaz Palaces - Black Up
5. Kendrick Lamar - Section 80
6. Big Krit - Return of 4eva
7. Curren$y/Alchemist - Covert Coup
8. The Throne - WTT
9. Danny Brown - XXX
10. Raekwon - Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang
I like his voice a lot, but I don't want to see him stray away from rap. I think he's pretty damn good. I don't understand the "too serious" complaints. He gets criticized either way. I also think he has strayed far away from the Wayne comparisons. Maybe 2 songs on Camp sound Wayne-esque. MAYBE.

My favorite Gambino is uptemp wordplay Gambino.
It's decent level Wayne impersonation without so much guilt.
Unlike some of you guys , I don't dig his singing voice too much. Properly utilized I'm sure he could make some decent hooks for others. Thinking about it, Childish Gambino is probably as close to "guilty pleasure" as I get.

This is a pretty good list. Covert Coup, XXX, and Return of 4eva are definitely going on mine. I need to give Black Up another listen. I gave it a quick run a while back, and I feel like it flew way over my head. Using it as study music didn't help, i guess.
This may be controversial, but I have to say that The Roots' output over their last albums has been better than their early stuff. Game Theory, How I Got Over, Rising Down, Undun> Illadelph, Do you Want More, Things Fall Apart, Tipping Point, Phrenology. I love their early stuff, but they've eclipsed themselves.

Yea it's not great study music. But it is shit you can chill to. I found undun As good study music.
It is hard for me to rate The Roots discography. It is all fantastic. Undun might be my AOTY.

forgot about that. i think Poppa Wu is on lots of other shit too, might have his own album somewhere? i forget.
Com's dad says lotsa stuff too, i figure there's even more room for crazy old man syndrome from Wu since 5% nation strikes me as being ready to jump on board any conspiracy theory you set your eyes on - i'll give GZA the benefit of the doubt until he comes along an interview with some "man is less than ten thousand years old" shit, personally.
all i read was the track that didnt make the cut on undun, what specifically?
I don't care what he believes, as long as he puts out LS2 and it's amazing.
There is no CunninLynguists here.I'm starting the cutting tonight for my top ten of the year
waaaay too many good releases this year.
Yeah, that was my bad. I set up a smart playlist to find any hip-hop albums labelled with a 2011 release. I forgot to put the release date data into the Cunninlynguists album (and a couple more). I'm all set now.
Not sure where I should put this since its more UK hip hop. but anyway, a distant friend of mine recently put out a mixtape and I thought it was pretty good.
here's the music video for leading track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T2UApMxEBA
and here's a link to the tape: http://lmarshallmusic.com/
what do you guys think?

damn that cover. i might try this too.Going to give this a try:
I still need to give Undun a run. Impressions here have me interested.

there is no Kendrick on there either :/
I truly believe LilB is making fun of the industry in most of his songs. This is the only thing me and you disagree on.
Section 80's in that list.
I want to believe that. But watching him in interviews and videos, i honestly do not believe he is capable of that.

well it would lose its affect if he outright stated it.

even though 99% of his music is trash, he does have his moments where he shows that he could be a decent-ish rapper. the 9th wonder track is a good example, and this where he does a semi-decent kool g rap/nas impression. the lyrics aren't the greatest but his flow is decent:

edit: lil b still sucks though
That isnt it. There is a point where fans look a bit too deep into what is a garbage rapper. Whether you think he is trolling or not, he is horrible. Is he doing it on purpose? Maybe, but that seems to be a justification fans create to justify their listening to a horrible rapper.

i didnt know you could organize playlists in grid view too.
Haha I know, I know
I feel bad because I really enjoyed what I heard, but I got busy and I put it on my backlog and never got back to it. I really need to get back to listen to that, Gutter Rainbows and Weekend At Burnies again.

I dont justify listening to him at all (at least I dont think I do). I dont run around saying "Swag this" or "swag that" either. I just enjoy his music sometimes. I do agree with you about his fans though, and with OFWG it has gotten even worse. I cant count how many of my friends brothers only listen to odd future, it saddens me.
Yeah, listening to Lil B is all good, but its when people get to pimping him out and getting crazy with that swag bullshit it gets annoying. In my experience, those who go around doing that shit are not that intelligent, or don't appear to be during conversation.
SpeedingUptoStop
will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
I can already see into the future & ASAP Rocky's gonna be the new thing at the same level of popularity as Tyler gang. I can feel it in my blood.
Toku, you forget your hashtag. #SWAG #SWAG
Also Gafhop, this shit came on while I was in the car earlier and I got my R&B on like a motherfucker. Like the spirit came over me, getting my R&B on. Felt good.
I need to just go check his tape out, don't I? I've been putting it off for a little while now, consciously even.

Rocky is like a better version of Lil B. Not much better, but just enough to understand his appeal. He still isnt that great.

Exactly. He's actually not wasting Clams Casino beats, which is key. I fucks with the Based God on some levels, but there's no question he...can't rap. Rocky has a series of effective flows on lock, whereas Lil B doesn't have any.
I think I'll put some work into my list over the weekend.
There was this vid B put up a while back. He actually went kind of hard. I'll try to find it. It was one of those mind blown/eye opening moments.
