He is, the way he raps is just painfully boring, like he's rapping while doing something else that has his real attention. But like I said, I can't hate the guy, and his production can sometimes be solid enough to give a chance. But yeah, mixtape didn't impress me much. I'll probably pull a few tracks off for the playlist.

Try out Stay Sleep (feat. Krayzie Bone) at least on the tape. Shit is fire, I'm serious. I'm taking off my glasses as I say that so you know I'm serious.
I'm trying to find out the gold in the mud in this tape, so to say.
Edit: His rendition of It Was a Good Day on the tape isn't so bad either. Not sold on the hook, though.

Yeah...a long way down haha. Kendrick couldn't flow like Q to save his life.
But forreal all my thoughts on Black Hippy have already been stated in this thread by Toku. Pretty much word for word what he thinks of the dudes.
edit: and that ASAP - Wassup video is dope. Love the ridiculous style his crew is into. Over-accessorizing and shit. Probably my second favorite track on that mixtape too.

This. Heard that song live at his show a couple months ago and I've been waiting for it to release. Straight banger
not a bad track. problem is he trying to do the whole bone thugs triplets thing but then gets killed by Krayzie Bone at his own game. glad i checked it out.

Well nowadays Flashing Lights would just sound like every other shitty electrorap song. But back then it was kinda hype for da clubs.

It's about an ex-yakuza member who literally drifts around Tokyo after becoming the target of a rival gang who send hit men out to kill him.
That's the most basic distillation of the plot that I can possibly think of but there is so much more to the film.
It's perhaps most famous for its phenomenal photography and production design:

anyone have a link to "tell ya freinds" by chip where this shit doesn't happen.

Still not sure how I feel about ASAP. I think part of me hates the IDEA of him, but his production is just, too fucking nice.
Yeah it took me a bit to warm up to him but I'm a big fan now.

Hmmm. Seijun Suzuki's film are weird enough at the best of times but this one is without doubt one of his weirdest, which unfortunately makes it largely incomprehensible to most. Although I love and own it I'm not sure I'd recommend it unless you're pretty well versed in Japanese 60's cinema. From a purely aesthetic point of view it is pretty stunning though.

Oh yeah Irish, I listened to Reflection Eternal again.
Sorry mang, still not hearing a classic. It still sounds a bit like a directionless mess to me honestly. I tried. Don't hate me

Only thing bigger than his ego is his mirror.
Man I was hating on him before too but I can't say his music's not enjoyable. His music is just polished nicely. Great beats behind him too.

How is that Chip tape?
Complex Shadow
Cudi Lame
yea pretty much. thats also why i didn't like half the album.
can't say much. but its pretty good so far. but he doesn't do cubes beat justice. i really don't know who can.
Put 100 on black for me, I keep meaning to go to vegas but I just never seem to have the money/time.
Yeah, I've grown to like his music quite a bit. Brand New Guy and Trilla really helped.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
he is def a Harlem brother...
his version of Yao Ming > Lil Wayne's version but really not the biggest fan of him.. don't hate him tho..

I like chip but even I can admit that he's kinda boring/not for everyone. That said, tape is a lot better than I thought it was. Production is great. Especially the Lex Luger track, and "GloryUs" which is produced by Hi-Tek. I know i just said a few pages back that hi-tek lost but hey! surprise! So if you were already a chip fan, grab it. If you weren't, this probably won't be changing your mind.
Also, Krayzie Bone features is great.

thats all he really needs. =/ i mean how many artist can you name that write great lyrics. not saying its a good thing. but still in terms of success, you don't need much now days.
edit: beaten twice.

Anyone ever figure out the raper that was slowed by spaceghostpurrp?
Barry Bonds is such a fucking horrible song. Flashing Lights ain't that good either but Big Brother is the shit.
