Yeah, but the punchline to the "how hard was it to tell your dad that you're _____" joke is probably good for an instaban. So yeah, siddx fucks sheep.

Well, yeah. We knew that though. Like we know you would hate fuck Eminem. And how I'm always like, a year behind what's going on.

HEY GUYS YOU HEAR ABOUT KNO???

Alright, you know what. If it wasn't for Yela, Kendrick and KRIT I'd be all old man about hip-hop right now. They're running quality mainstream right now.

I have been reading, but honestly, about 90% of the thread has been Kanye circle jerks. That full page of Kanye .gifs was fucking insane.

Exactly. siddx is about to go fuck about in the jungle collecting ears and shit. I can't hold down "Kanye is a tool GAF" by myself.

I mean, people were wetting their panties over a fucking music video of a song they've heard a million times! I mean, is this 1993 or something? Who gives a fuck about a music video in 2012? We have streaming porn and shit!

I was kinda hyped for that video though, and it was a fucking concert video with one played out effect. What a waste for the only hype song on WTT.

It's a well kept secret, but Made It In America is the best track off WTT.

Kanye, Jay and Frank all get based as fuck and just make flowers. If that song doesn't put you in a good mood you have no soul. It's auditory xanax.

I was leading the charge breh, but what can be done with the current GAF-HOP climate?

It's a dark age.

You do what you can. You fight. You don't let the tight leopard pants wearing crowd win.

More like Ambien. Plus, sweet baby Jesus? Are you kidding me Frank? That's the kind of shit the rest of humanity jokes about and you just went and threw that in there like it was cool. No. Bad Frank.

Frank was wasted completely. That track sucks and you should feel bad about that and pay me every time you even think to say such nonsense. Babies die in heaven when you make such stupid declarations.

The hook on Made It In America gets worse with every listen to me.

New Day is the dark horse.


In other news, Wale is MTV's #10 Hottest MC...

...lol.

Didn't his album sell like, 20k copies? How is Wale on any list like that? Him and New Lupe need to start a rap group dedicated to stupid fucking haircuts.

Because MMG, I guess.

Sales aren't everything though. You could probably put Gucci on some of these lists at different periods of times and I wouldn't expect more than 20k from him either. With the way this is looking, Tyga at #3, Meek Mill is a shoe-in for #2 and they probably have Mac Miller at #1.

Not gonna lie though, I fucks with Gudda Gudda and Tyga's verses on I'm On /gafhopconfessions

I think you guys miss the point with baby jesus. I don't think he's preaching religion with it, just using the imagery for the vibe of the song. "big santa clause" probably didn't have the same ring to it.

I dunno. That song just chills me out of anything. I'm far from religious and I never took it as a religious thing.

EDIT: Been revisiting Ambition. If GAF HOP is wrong about anything, it's Wale. Who else can take the label required Lloyd feature and actually make lemonade out of it?

I don't care that it may or may not be religious. I'm religious. That shit's just corny.

And I like Wale when he's doing Seinfeld stuff. Maybe Ambition is good. I wouldn't know, tbh.
 
Also... I'm working on this remix project, chopping up pop and putting acapellas over them. Heres on track I finished, lemme know what you guys think- and also lemme know if theres any tracks you want me to sample.

awesome stuff man, made that song even chill, fits good. I'll try to think of some tracks.

My favorite track is still Gotta Have It.

Ambition sold somewhere around 300K which is like 10000x more than what his first album sold.

lol no lie, when you first posted that track way back, I was going to troll and say Gudda Gudda and Tyga had the best verses, but deep down I actually did like their verses.
 
Holy shit has that beat been stuck in my head forever. Not to mention the frickin intro.
Just thought I'd quote that track from a while back, I remember hearing it when it was first posted and loved the intro but couldn't remember when it had been posted.
2 hours of going through posts and clicking every soundcloud/hulkshare link in this thread later and I finally found it.

Wale has no swag. He's like tofu, inject some Rozay into him today and he's got that flavour, but yesterday he had the fruity backpacker flavour all up in his blood.

No I.D. should executive produce WTT2 so we get the WTT they initially spoke of. That Otis/New Day/Murder To Excellence shit. I feel like a lot of people's complaints for WTT circle around it containing a lot of poppy-er tracks, and less, I don't know, rap-number-crunching you could say. Some lyrical flexing onto subjects that aren't on-top-of-the-pedestal rap.

Now I'm obviously biased, but I thought WTT had a ton of memorably good verses. I still wouldn't call it a poppy album, but the remnants of the original WTT project all seem the most promising. I'd love for an album of New Day/Murder To Excellence stuff, that's what I wanted out of WTT. And although I listened to WTT last year more than any other album, I still was and am disappointed with it. It's like a best-of of the WTT sessions, which is great, but not what I wanted either. I didn't expect them to dial up the ratio of fun songs to the rest that much from the initial reports of what they were gonna focus on.

tl;dr: Dear Ye and Jay, give me an album of Never Let Me Down. kthxbai

Also, the Kanye portion of the GAF-Hop cycle is just people complaining about Kanye and then complaining that complaining about Kanye is a topic of discussion. Kanye stans left the equation long ago, and y'all are self perpetuating this shit. Y'all are on track for complete Big Sean saturation by 2013. Boiii.

Nothing can fix the biggest problem with WTT, which is Jay-Z's braindead slobbering zombie verses. They're undead. No-Life King.

looking at that Hov, Ye, Wayne, Drake, Em, Nicki & Ross are locks.
and from the rest it'd be hard for me to say the rest of them had a hotter 2011 than Meek Mill, Big Sean or Wale so there's 10 right there off the bat.

i suspect that MTV might double up on a few of the spots to get TI and Jeezy in.

Oh yeah I remember this. I remember saying there's no way Red Cafe, Maino, Lloyd Banks, Jim Jones, French Montana, Jadakiss or Fabulous could POSSIBLY be argued for any degree of hotness right now.

Yea, I agree. Whenever New Day ends, I feel like I wake up out of a trance.
I get chills at the end of Ye's verse on New Day. Am I the only one? Please say I'm not the only one. That shit stings. Both of those verses are some of the best on the album.

I don't know, I thought Jay had some of the best verses on WTT since his Black Album era.

Ni**as in Paris verse (dat flow)
Otis (dat flow)
Illest Motherfucker Alive (Jay rode this beat like nothing else; okay this is my bias for the song speaking)
Murder (fit very well in the context and theme of the song, let's pretend his Excellence verse didn't happen [SHHH SHHH])
New Day
That's My Bitch (was great back when it leaked, still great)

Overall though, yeah I guess it's fairly inconsistent. My view of WTT has warped considerably since it came out. I'm done with 'expectations' with Jay. He's as versatile as he wants to be. Whatever the mood or feeling is for a song when it's made reflects the quality, not the skill at all really.

New Day is really underrated. My biggest beef with WTT is that it's sort of... try hard? I feel like Black Album and Graduation had songs that just WERE badass because of their wordplay and overall cleverness. Sometimes I feel like WTT is trying to beat me over the head with how "swagged out" it's trying to be.

That said, NiP is so goddamn good and I've listened to the album once a week since it came out.

Big 10 is really good. It almost made my top 10 last year. Stop Crying is one of the best songs of last year.

siddx, if your favorite album is an Atmosphere album I gotta know; how hard was it to tell your dad that you're a sheep fucker?

I'd be offended but I don't even know what this means. Is it nonsensical insult month?
If you love gucci so much was it hard to tell your dad you eat lentils out of belly buttons?
