I think the most hilarious thing would be if KRIT drops a LASERS on us next week. I would laugh so hard...then cry uncontrollably.

Or even worse. A Radioactive.

 

[OG Kush]

Guys on friday I came back from a 5 day trip to Amsterdam... My God you guys don't realise how fucking amazing that place is. I was literally in depression or just like this funk for 2 days after. Finally got back to normal yesterday. maybe it was like a "weed hangover" because we smoked so much but I felt something missing when i came back.
Such a beautiful place, best city to walk around in and cycle. Amazing architecture, streets, everything. Beautiful weed, beautiful women and a beautiful city.
Top-class food as-well. Even got some shrooms there as well. I'm seriosuly in love with this place, everyones so chill. Just on a different wavelength. I havent even phoned my dealer back here, it just doesn't feel right not being able to have a weed shop on every street, where I can smoke in peace, play pool, eat amazing food.
edit: i swear GAF was meant to resize these?!

Seriously wish I took more pics though.

Or even worse. A Radioactive.

Radioactive was better than LASERS, with less expectations, IMO. But yeah, still appropriate analogy either way lol.

 

[kamspy]

Yeah, there is a damn good EP to be trimmed out of Radioactive.

 

[T Dollarz]

I'd say I liked about half of what Radioactive had to offer. Half of it was the dope Yela that I love and he came hard as fuck. Other half was indeed comparable to Lasers. So I agree with Kamspy, you could make a solid EP out of it. But come on, Lasers was on a different level of shit.

Lasers was about a 6/10, IMO. It wasnt offensively bad, but it had "different" production and was just too obviously trying for mainstream appeal.

 

[Macca]

Oh I really enjoyed it. But only because of Yela's charisma for a lot of it. I don't think KRIT could pull that off.

Yela's voice and flow is unique enough to carry questionable production and direction. KRIT is a mix of everything we have heard before. He doesnt it phenomenally well, but it isnt unique enough to stand out from said bad production and direction.

The Kanye question is dangerous. Whenever an innocuous poster comes in and lists any one permutation of Kanye lists the thread goes off on a wild tangent.

Every time someone drops a Kanye albums list a steel chair is thrown in the middle of GAF-Hop

Young Guru on Niggas in Paris vs Niggas in Poorest
He speaks so well, definitely up there with Quik when he talks about hip-hop. Those two can talk about hiphop all day long and I will listen.

Agreed. Guru is one of my favourite people in hip-hop period.

This only happens when CD or LR are put below something else. Rightly so, that poster deserves to be ridiculed for having outlandishly bad taste.

I've listened to the Rack City remix waaaay more than I ever expected to listen to anything from Tyga. Having actual MCs on it helps a lot.

I kind of want to try splice that Yela verse into the Rack City remix. Then it'd be super hot.

Oh, and Kams, what should I have on the Nas cycle? Just the same stuff as the sonic cycle?

I'd say something like:

Rumblings of a new album.

Rumblings of good producers being on it

Great street single released mad early. See Thieves Theme and Nasty

Then, much like the Sonic Cycle, the unwanted friends show up. Justice League, Khaled, Alex da Kidd, etc.

Real first single. Probably some bullshit here. Life is Good feat. Kesha prod by Diplo

Album drops. Everyone tries to like it. We all want Nas to win. Within a couple weeks only people left listening are the delusional fanatics.

Cycle repeats in a few years. It's never failed.

I was gonna suggest it earlier but thought it'd be too mean:

To be fair, Diplo is capable of some good shit. He produced the "best" feamle singer track on Radioactive (Animal) and the new track he did with Usher is the best song I've heard from Usher since 03/04 but yea, I don't want him on a Nas album.

That can be done. It'll probably be a bit later than the OT goes up though.

Khaled gave Nas the best song he's done in like the past 3-4 years.

Gettin’ in from the airport

The only thing missing at this point,
Is bonified chillin’ time with you
I can’t stand the times when I’m alone at night and I feel your side of the bed and it’s cold
I’m wide awake I don’t know the time cause I’m too busy texting you on my phone
Sayin…

I want you girl and I need your body right here
Won’t you teleport 2 me
I want you girl and I need your body right here
Won’t you teleport 2 me

Right here, right here
Wont you teleport 2 me

Can we ban Cudi from the next thread? Please?


Oh and hush the Diplo talk, cause you need new ears if you can't hear that this beat is crazy

 

[Macca]

Diplo is a damn good producer, but is he really wanted on a Nas album?

 

[kamspy]

Love Diplo when he does hip hop. Just not with Nas.

Didn't mean that as a knock on him. Just the inevitable Nas missteps.

 

[kamspy]

Perfect example of a Nas misstep. From his last album:

http://youtu.be/u2de0RBcqiE

Best Diplo track...ever!

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

So would the 'perfect' Nas album sound... well... exactly like the album he dropped 15 years ago?
Progression...?
Not saying Nas should go pop and get Diplo or whatever but branching out his sound could only help at this point

 

[Macca]

Need more Nas over No ID.

No. It should sound exactly like the album he dropped 18 years ago.

New video from Pep Love: Hiphop My Friend


Album drops March, 6th

 

[kamspy]

Preem, Pete Rock, Alchemist, Kanye, Havoc, No ID, The Roots.

Fill out about 14 tracks with them. Use good ole Salaam Remi on the filler tracks. No pop single. WTT didn't need one.

Get a good quality control executive producer to oversee the shit too. Nas is incapable on his own.

Get his album produced by Premiere, No ID, and a few others. Nas always seems to at least be competent-great on the mic, his ear for production was/is horrible. I swear Premiere is always saying he is ready to go when Nas is. Hopefully when he leaves Def Jam we can get a premiere/nas joint.

Heck, I wouldn't mind some Ye producing, as long as it wasn't MBDTF fuckery Ye.

Hey, I'm just here to prove you wrong. Enjoy your day!

Heh, that's what I meant! No sane person would turn down another Illmatic but I just find it slightly disconcerting the way people tend to box artists in and never want them to change or grow, ever.

No. People want quality albums. When an artist changes for the worse(Nas, Kanye), they are more vocal for wanting an album like a previous one. Although I wouldnt say Nas has changed much, only his ear for production has gotten pretty awful.

WTT was one giant pop single.

There is no other type of Ye anymore.

 

[Complex Shadow]

dunno about banning him. but he got pretty damn lazy, pretty damn fast. and hes not even smoking anymore. dude needs to smoke more or stop makin music.

Executive Producer and Mixed by DJ Quik.

WTT was one giant pop single.

Name a track other than Lift Off.

Nas would wreck something like Otis.

Nas on a So Appalled type track would work well. Heck, I'd have loved to have seen him on that track.

Welp, guess No ID co-produced that track. That explains it.

i might be the only one who actively dislikes that track. Even when I play MBDTF(Which is rare) I always skip that and the Ross track.

 

[Macca]

Looking at the credits for MBDTF, the only tracks he doesn't go completely overboard on are the ones coproduced with ID.

No ID is the only person Ye probably still respects, artistically.
