yo, gaf-hop help a buddy out. Can someone just recommend a few(I don't really care how many) non rap albums that yall really enjoyed within the last couple of years or so(it really doesn't matter just give me something good). Just would like to listen to some other stuff for a bit and generally i find myself liking the same stuff other rap fans like outside of the genre.

Tha Connection - Raw Skills

Didn't know if anybody else fucked with Tha Connection. Love Trapeze and Moon Water (Love Royale is awesome too).

This song is one of my favorites.

Sublime - 40oz to Freedom

 

[kamspy]

I didn't like much off BP3. Not defending that one. It had a couple tracks. The only real bangers were Haters and On To The Next One. The rest is pretty meh.

 

[nns3d]

I thought Already Home was a good track, I used to play it all the time off of the 3rd Blueprint. BP3 is easily the weakest of the trilogy though.

 

[kamspy]

I can say BP3 was the first time I bought a Jay Z album and was disappointed. I've said that about every Nas album since I Am. Even that had iffy ass beats.

I am one of the Kingdom Come apologists.

Behemoth's "Evangelion" - Ov Fire & The Void
Warpaint's "The Fool" - Burgundy
SBTRKT (Self-Titled) - Trials of The Past

 

[Angelus Errare]

I think Jay realised after Kingdom Come....he could relase anything and it would sell and cats would swear by it

Also co-fucking-sign on SBTRKT, if you like the album check out Little Dragon, their shit is too dope

 

[PhoenixDark]

I find it hilarious that No I.D. "challenged" Kanye to actually produce something for WTT, and the result was Otis. Tells you everything you need to know about him

Jay Z is the most famous average rapper in history. Motherfucker is barely a 6 yet gets treated like a 10.

haha, that's such an awesome title.

Zomby's "Dedication" - Digital Rain
Behemoth's "Evangelion" - Ov Fire & The Void
Warpaint's "The Fool" - Burgundy
SBTRKT (Self-Titled) - Trials of The Past

I actually just bought that SBTRKT album a few days ago and fucking love it, never never is my shit. I dig the others and I'm not really a fan of metal(I guess deathmetal to be exact), but I'll give it a shot, need to open up my ears to more things this year.

Also co-fucking-sign on SBTRKT, if you like the album check out Little Dragon, their shit is too dope

What mainly interested in me in it actually was that I saw Little Dragon(props to Shinobi for puttin me up on that Ritual Union, that was great shit too) was featured on it so I figured I'll give it a shot.

if I had to choose between my recs, it'd be the first 3.
Cosmogramma is my favorite album of 2010
Intronaut is the best non-hip-hop album of 2010 (cept for Cosmogramma)
And Gonjasufi still gets rotation from me.

Blueprint 3 was dope. A lot of dope songs and productions, especially in the latter half.

If you're just now seeing the irrational behavior of haters, you need to go back to school mane.

You can't reason with people who don't accept that Jay Z is the best rapper alive.

You're not exactly doing yourself any favors be declaring anyone that sides with Nas as a "Jay-Z hater". You sound childish.

Getting a little bit more caught up with hip hop. I just listened to some of A$AP Rocky's mixtape, and it got me excited again.

Six years ago today, hip-hop lost an irreplaceable legend in James Dewitt Yancey, better known as Jay Dee or J Dilla. Dilla was and will always be a member of New World Color. NWC co-founder, Mainframe, worked on and released Dilla & Steve Spacek’s “Dollar Circulate” on Sound In Color, played a major part in the creation of Jay Love Japan, and engineered many of The Shining sessions. In 2009, Mainframe teamed up with Dilla’s mother, Ma Dukes, and Brooklyn-based label, Nature Sounds, to release Dilla’s third posthumous album, Jay Stay Paid, of which he acted as A&R. Jay Stay Paid also featured New World Color brother Danny Brown on “Dilla Bot VS. The Hybrid.” In honor and in celebration of the incredible life and the timeless music Dilla gave the world, we’re releasing the original demo of “Dilla Bot VS. The Hybrid.” Enjoy the track and never stop spreading the legend of J Dilla.

R.I.P. Dilla Dog.

Oh shit.

At this point your just beating a dead horse. Cept the horse isn't dead yet and it just shit it self.

Lasers really should have been called Losers.

 

[Esch]

kanye is an average rapper.if you think he's bringing something legit to the lyrical table you're a stan.

blueprint 3 was horse nuts aside from 5 songs.

Tupac is a perfect comparison to muhammad ali(inferior to the true great in Joe Louis).

peace.

Reasonable Doubt > All of Kanyes best work

 

[Macca]

His lyrical content is good as well as his delivery. Technically though, yes he's average.
