Those lectures are good stuff, I recommend the Wu Tang and Mobb Deep ones as well. There's a Premier one as well which I have to watch.

Wow, going through their uploaded videos they got a lot more hiphop heads on there:
Mannie Fresh
Blu & Exile
Jay Electronica
Bun B
Chuck D
Nottz
?uestlove
Biz Markie
Black Milk

What are the best remixes that Yela's been on?

 

[nns3d]

So what does everyone think of the Amy Winehouse+Nas song??

What are the best remixes that Yela's been on?

Don't listen to a lot of Yela, but maybe you'll like the Hometown Hero Remix (K.R.I.T.)

Have you checked out Rittz - White Jesus ?

White Jesus is in the running for my AOTY at this stage. Sleep at Night has to be one of my favourite songs of the year. That second first is just fire.

One of my most anticipated purchases back in the day. Didn't quite live up to the hype for me but still a very solid album.

 

[Detox]

Eschaton's avatar reminded me how was G Rap's new album?

 

[kodecraft]

Seriously, what point is being driven home here?

? The point you should skip my post and not interfere.

Why is Blackace's avatar there? He's the least special of us all!

I actually could add quite a few avatars on there! But I'm lazy.

 

[CRS]

enzo.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Ha, nice banner.

 

[Complex Shadow]

That banner needs less avatars. And more gaf propaganda.

^Too nice.

shit was good, definitely worth a listen. Like everything G does, under the radar

I'm just saying, spread the love around. You got your stamp on Illmatic, the Chronic and more. Least you can do is give a brother Encore or something.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I'm sure most people here don't like Masta Killa but I never realized until a couple days ago that he put out a second album. Has anyone listened to Made in Brooklyn? Is it any good? Is it as good as No Said Date was?

 

[Complex Shadow]

Feel free to make one.

I will...... Next year

If they ain't hating you ain't doing it right

 

[overcast]

Funny because those two will most likely be better albums than all the others on the list.

Take care is gonna be better than a Undun, Dreamer/Believer, and Radioactive? HELLLLL NO.

 

[spindashing]

I just listened to that Amy Winehouse x Nas track. Damn.

Salaam Remi has been tagging with Nas for a bit. Nasty, It's A Tower Heist, and now this. I hope the trend continues for his album with some Preemo sprinkled in.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

You forgot Chico and The Man which is likely to be better than all of em.

 

[Kaizer]

Tagless version of the Hard White (Remix).

Damn, 100x better than the original.

I bolded that as one of my most wanted, I honestly did not feel the need to post anymore. The ones I bolded will all be good. Not a fan of Ross.

I just thought it was important to repeat all of em to drive the point home

So hyped for the next Nas album, I feel he's really gonna drop something worthwhile this time.

It's a G rap album, you know what to expect...Straight grime, fire, and brimstone.


Seriously if Kool G. Rap would have died in the late 90s, people would be more likely to include him in the greatest rapper of all time discussion. You'd see tons of people wearing Kool G. Rap shirts and his albums would be flying off the shelves, supported by DJs and the like that only think legends can be enjoyed postmortem. They don't realize that the foremost influential gangsta rapper, is still living and breathing. He's quite possibly the most slept on living legend in the industry.

*END RANT*

"Like Smoke" is so ill. I wish they could have done more together. It's easily going to be in my top ten songs for the year.

 

[Detox]

I have to agree all the guys coming out of NY with the gangster stuff had G Rap to thank, especially Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z and Prodigy. Looks like I'll have to pick the album up.

Yeah, he may bring it this time. Don't want to get my hopes too high quite yet though.

He was a founding father for sure.. but real talk NWA made it so G rap could be seen nation wide..

 

[enzo_gt]

Krizzle.

What do people think about Pusha's (half) new EP?

 

[Detox]

Did he make it big? I always thought of him as the guy who was just a bit too early, his gangster stuff is slightly different from NWA's more fuck the world gangbanging mentality. He was just the least successful member of the Juice Crew who just didn't have the one song to blow up.

Kool G Rap appreciation time:
Fast Life ft Nas

 

[DominoKid]

This is why people dont like Wale

 

[Macca]

Next 5 Mic'er from Source will be Krit. I'd put money on it.

 

[Pinko Marx]

so I know of Kool G Rap, but never listened to a single album from dude.
Whats his one classic I ougha listen to?

Was just reading about the N.W.A biopic on Wikipedia when I saw this on the page.

As of September 2011, a director has been chosen. Director John Singleton[24] will be in charge of running the set. Ice Cube and Singleton go way back, as you may recall a little film starring Cube depicting South L.A.'s gruesome gangster street life Boyz 'n the Hood for which Singleton earned some Oscar nods among the film's wide critical and commercial successes.

Somehow I don't think that's the type of writing Wikipedia aims for...
