Common softening on Drake beef:

Common Tries to Play Nice With Drake
from Vulture by Amanda Dobbins

Has the first and likely least-contentious rap beef of 2012 already come to an end? Common, who started the feud with a track on The Dreamer: The Believer, is now attempting to smooth over his disses with some moderately kind public statements about Drake. For example: "I think he makes good music. He's definitely said some real clever things and made some cool songs." Can you feel the enthusiasm? Common, of course, will not promise to end the beef forever: "If something else happens, then I'll just have to act accordingly." But for the moment, the incredibly low-stakes war between Drake and Common is over. Now hug it out, you two, so that the Hugs from Drake Tumblr can finally get updated again.

Hero is a great track, don't understand the hate for it. Is it just cause Polow Da Don's name is attached to it?

coms is just extending polite hands of victory after homeboy lost the bass in his voice. quit frontin

Was never a big fan of Game and was kind of repulsed by his child like behaviour in that "Stop Snitchin Stop Lyin" doc (he was probably playing it up for the cameras, but fuck, him and his crew were so obnoxious in that) but I dont mind RED album at all now that Im actually listening to it attentively. Has so much more heart than WTT (a slick but soulless album) and I say this as a major fan of Hova.

speaking of Nas, new from him on K'naans new track:

I really like this

 

[soul creator]

the beat to Schoolboy Q's How We Feeling sounds like a screwed version of Faded by The Illz...

RED was a very average album with a lot of low points but yeah, it did have some great tracks. And being a completely average album still makes it better than WTT by a mile.
But Game needs to stop acting like a little bitchnugget.

De La Soul's Plug 1 & Plug 2 (aka Posdnuos & Trugoy the Dove) Launch Side Project called First Serve.
New album out in April.

Listen:

First Serve - Pushin' Aside, Pushin' Along

They also released a mix tape

First Serve - The Goon Time Mixtape

Pay attention people. Anything De La related should be auto download you buckets of dick excretion. The mixtape is awesome too, just one long 30 minute blend.

Check out this tape by BE.water that was released around two years ago. Its a great straight up hip hop banger album. Oh, and I produced most of it but I promise that im not biased :lol.

Eric Turner - Angels & Stars feat. Lupe Fiasco and Tinie Tempah

Lupe's verse is good. He seems to be killing his features lately. I might be slightly optimistic about F&L2.

 

[spindashing]

As soon as I saw "Eric Turner" and "Tinie Tempah" I was reaaaaall hesitant to start listening.

But, it was a good verse, I suppose.

Yeah, it really isnt a bad song aside from Tinie's verse, which is bad as usual. Lupe just brings a nice energy.

That picture of Lupe :lol

Both Tinie and Fiasco verses were mediocre. The entire song is pretty mediocre.

It's no Stereo Sun, that's for sure. In fact, I'm gonna listen to that right now

Stereo Sun was awesome for the Top Gear reference alone. That song should've been on Lasers.

Solid feature, not feeling the track overall. I just don't like Lupe's rock/electronic style.

That 8Ball & MJG track is dope. Krit doing his thing still.

Did some independent work because I'm impatient and crunched the numbers to find out the top ten of GAFHOP...

I expect some overreactions, but overall it's a solid list (with one choice that can be disputed).

I'll wait for Macca to post it to not step on his toes.

Mind Pming them to me? That way I can just double check against what I have. I'll probably be a few days going through everything, quite busy at the moment with stuff that's come up.

 

[illadelph]

Has anyone done the Rack City beat justice yet?

 

[wenis]

Eh?

There might be an argument whether or not it fits in to the top ten of hip-hop

I'd fudge the numbers if that happened

Ah..

Spoiler

So it's a Weeknd album then. I would've put it in but I deliberately held back cause I certified that and Cocaine80s (reluctantly) as R&B. Or else they would've probably invaded my top 10 too.

Has Oh No's rapping improved? I haven't listened to all of the title track or the first single due to how shitty his verses were. And I'm someone who didn't have too much of a problem with his rapping on the first album.

Well, enough people voted to put 2 of his albums in the top 10, so I guess it counts.
