Just won a few shots from the Stanford/USC game!
Big K.R.I.T. is the firs tthing I started playing. Haven't looked back since. Fuck the rest.
Also Mecca, I envy your editing skills. Your images still amaze me/get a good laugh out of me.
Also, not enough Lupe faith in this thread. What a damn shame. I kinda liked Japanese Cartoon too.
GO Stanford!

The thing is Cole is great when it comes to writing rymes. But his productions has some ways to go. Not to say he's isn't a good producer, but he's not great ethier.overcast said:

a lot.
listening to it again recently...there's a lotta talk in here about how it might win 'cause of all the non-regulars, but i can't see getting mad at it. if it was something like lasers was, or uh, what a lot of ya'll got from big sean, okay. but between n*ggas in paris, what you need, no church in the wild, murder for excellence etc, it's a solid album by me.
it's not the black album, and it damn sure isn't ye's early work, but it put it above MBDTF & blueprint 3 both.

prolly varying standards - ye's albums don't necessarily have to be themed, but ive enjoyed the ones that were. MBDTF was all over the place and kinda felt over-produced at times for me, too. not so much stuff like Blame Game, but look at say All of the Lights - its not a bad track, but it does kinda make me long for his earlier shit.
Jay's been phoning it in for years now. people go on & on about American Gangster cause it felt like he was paying attention for a bit there. not to take from the guy, but for me it's been mostly misses since the Black Album.
based on their latest efforts, there were more tracks i dug off WTT than i thought i would. production's solid (i can barely tell RZA was on that track though, haha) and Jay dropped some quotables. it's fun shit. i didnt hate MBWTF but i coudlnt say that about it.
wait, we're just dropping lines? here's the one i kept hearing down here:
aint that where the Heat play? (yup)
n*ggas hate ballers these days
aint that like LeBron James?/aint that just like D-Wade...wait

MC JIN. Yeah, Jin. Remember him? 106 and park freestyle champ? Yeah, that Jin. He release his second Canto-Rap record "Homecoming"
Jin been living in HK for 3years now(Thanks, Iron Solomon)One thing that people don't know(Or probably do)The Hip-Hop scene in HK is very, very, very small. It had a pulse in the 90's, but died thanks to the emergence of interest to techno, and the forever king of HK, Canto-Pop. HK has a little movement going on, but not respected because the kids who are doing noise are Filipino. So a lot politics are part of the scene now, but slowly changing.
Now, what does the above have to do with, Jin? Everything. Homeboy was hot in the U.S. very rare for a Asian at all. Dude was the next big thing, and the Chinese loved the kid. His career went south faster then a dick on 10 beers and 10 shots petron. What did he do? Went to HK(Can't do mainland for obvious reasons)He went where he knows, he is love. With a weak Hip-Hop scene, and the arrival of their golden child. Jin has put a pulse in the scene over there. Dude is doing great out there, and has a couple of cats under his wing, which is good.
This album is about his experience in HK and the state of the scene over there. I was there in 2003. Met a lot of passionate hip-hop fans, but not a lot of folks(DJ's) to give them a voice. With Jin there, the scene finally has that "Go to" guy. Anyway, the album....Very emotional and to the point. Solid lyrics on some tracks, but a couple of Canto-Pop style tracks(Hook wise)Dude has a track about his recently new wife(Talking about kids and shit)His protege, KT, has a great flow. Better than Jin, IMO. The problem with this album, and the majority of HK rap albums, is the production. Very weak, very. This has to change over there if they want their scene to shine. Looking forward to bring some swag with my crew next year.

That is the best sounding track on the album.
The packing is awesome btw.

oh wow, totally forgot about that dude - cool to hear he's fostering a scene back there.
i was surprised to find japan had a production scene with hydeout, gotta be some untapped potential out in HK too.

Blackace could give us more insight into the japanese scene. But from what I heard over the years, is that jazzy shit. Nothing wrong with it, but I haven't heard that much diversity from them. Europe has Hip-Hop production on smash, especially the French. Even the wack artist have solid production. The thing with HK is, they hardly allow any scene to happen at all. America wish it had the control of the Music industry the way HK has it. Is Canto-Pop or death, lol. But thanks to the internet, a lot of movements are happening over there. Because they're a lot of fans of different genre's over there. But is hard to start something if a venue is not keen on it.IrishNinja said:

The Best Of Jin. He was sign by RuffRiders.
I'll never forget when Jin responded to a question of mine in the early days of MySpace. Every one reading my comment section freaked out lol. I followed Job for a few years after his Ruff Ryder dealings but last I heard he was doing Christian Rap. Good to see he's still working.
I was thinking about Jin the other day.
and about how he released the Emcee's Properganda.
and how it sucked.

I was thinking about this yesterday. I was thinking something likesiddx said:
(Ignore the 5 minute cutout job and shit). I'd totally redo it and make it look sweet. Maybe have it just a couple of stand out colours or something cool, make it stylish while still being Hip Hop related.
The other ideas I could whip up pretty easily too if we wanted to go down that route.

I thought Death Is Silent already made that clear. Everything he's done since then is just spawn camping the rest of the genre.

Blackace is the boss dog yo. Also, what kind of class are you going to?Complex Shadow said:
It'd definitely be simplified down a lot. I can give something like that a shot too. Shouldn't be too hard to do. I really need to find a good font for GAF-Hop thoughsiddx said:haha I like that a lot, but I think due to the nature of the shirts they have to be somewhat simple.
I was thinking something like this...just you know, not so shitty and amateur. But same simple look.

i an't gonna join your facebook group, bro
better question is "in what class, would that shirt be acceptable?"Macca007 said:
We need a custom cover in the same art style as the Doggystyle cover with GAF HOP regulars avatars in the picutre. Not the actual avatars, but like, ya know. A monkey for siddx, Frank Ocean, Sonic, Iron Man (not accepting that new avy enzo), a diseased crackhead version of Yoda, vampire, whatever the hell Toku's new avatar is, maybe just Young Buck ski mask (real toku avy).

i say we have something like che guevara resistance shirt but with lil b, or black ace or a bunch of posters.EschatonDX said:
Yeah, focusing it some things that change like avatars would be a bad idea. We have plenty of GAF-Hop things to base it off of.EschatonDX said:
Plus it means we have to include HRD and his incapability of making an avatar that is resized properly. Pet. Peeve.
I would help make one, but I've got a bit too much on my plate atm.
