Tyler is one of the top 5 worst producers of the year. It's the one thing that stops me from being a fan, he can't make a decent beat to save his life.

Wow, really? I think he is an average rapper, but I'll still listen to his stuff for the production. It's unique at least.

I think the only beat of his I REALLY like is Bastard. The piano...I have a weakness for them

Im the opposite- I think Tyler's a good rapper who goes on pretty bad beats; on the Game's album and on Pusha's album, when he goes over good beats, he sounds so much better.

 

[Esch]

I don't get how Section 80 is r&b heavy at all

I find his production straight up appalling. Just some amateur hour bullshit. Tyler has lots of charisma and although lyrically he's an average rapper, he has lots of potential, a great voice, and he draws you in when he raps. He should never ever produce another beat in his life though.

 

[Beezy]

Didn't care much for Section 80 on my first listen either, but it became one of my favorite albums this year after my 2nd listen. I really can't explain why.

I can co-sign that.

 

[Detox]

You are comparing two very different things. One is a producer who works solo with largely digital equipment to create beats. The other is a collection of musicians who make songs with live instruments. Both are amazing artists.

Damn for all this time I thought Kno used a live band to produce for Oneirology that is the only way I could explain the step-up in production he has had recently. I guess I should have looked it up.

 

[siddx]

I would love to see Tyler over some of that sparse grimy neptunes shit, like a Grindin' type beat, or that Awesome Awesome beat they gave Buddy.

I'm pretty sure he just used a guitarist on some tracks. Other than that it was all him.

 

[Esch]

i'm sad this isnt gonna make more top 10 lists this year

Tyler would sound amazing over some dalek/Cannibal Ox type shit.

 

[iavi]

Going through my backlog, I just finished a listen through Danny Brown's XXX. What a good ass fucking release. He's not all that great a lyricist, and his shit doesn't get you to thinking or anything like that, but he doesn't even pretend as if that's the case. The dude just entertains with frequently hilarious lines, and a style that actually throws me off. He manages to sound like three or four different dudes throughout the whole album. For fucking real, I had to keep checking if I was hearing a feature... I wasn't.

Also, I gotta go ahead and co-sign Siddx's Tyler comment. I can't stand any of OF's production, save for Frank, really. Tyler's shit is the epitome of 'garageband.' Left Brain's alright at times, and Jet Age needs to chill the fuck out and actually compose a coherent track. I don't even know who produces for Frank.

It's on my top 10, probably even my top 5.

I've been listening to it a lot recently. This shit's pretty great:

Apathy-Check to Check

 

[siddx]

The Villain makes me want to punch a motherfucker in the face. Love that track. Hype as fuck.
And I dedicate this to you is one of the songs you use as evidence that you can write a song about girls without it being a generic "girl you so fine I wanna buy you a gucci bag" bullshit.

Yep, great track. Speaking of production, this album's a top ranker for the year. Preem had a nice contribution on that track with celph titled. The Recipe beat sounds like some sega genesis Shinobi shit. With Xzibit going over it.

I said a while back, Stop What Ya Doing is probably the best beat Premier has made in years.

 

[Esch]

I've actually liked a few tracks he's thrown down on recently. That, born in the trap, and i'm very interested in the stuff he's doing with the orchestra, reminded me of a more noodly version of this which is something i want more of:

NAS CYCLE IN FULL FORCE GO

So I've been listening to Well Done from Action Bronson and Statik Selektah since last night and I like it a lot more than Dr. Lecter. Is it safe to say that this is the best album from a white rapper this year? Who else put something out? MGK (lol), Mac Miller (lol x2), Yelawolf, and Rittz?

Grieves, Dessa, Apathy off the top of my head; there are a ton

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

.....uh....Eminem.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Oh and Drake's khaki/eggnog colored ass put out an album.

 

[Detox]

ESCO LET'S GO

I apologise it is on Tumblr but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere else but he fucking kills it.

Mary J. Blige // Feel Inside [Feat. Nas]

This just got an awesome video
DJ Premier "Regeneration ft Nas

 

[Beezy]

.....uh....Eminem.

Bad Meets Evil The Sequel? That was a collab album though. Even so, I still prefer Well Done over it.

Haha

I don't know any of these people. Guess I should pay more attention to this thread.

 

[IrishNinja]

that apathy shit was good? fuck. that and section 80 i gotta get to finally.

@ tyler - i like dude, earl too from what ive heard of him. but while we're bashing his production work who did the beat for yonkers?

 

[Detox]

I don't know if this is old but this is Nas with S1 (the guy who produced Power, Murder to Excellence and Best Thing I never had), apparently this was taken at No I.D.'s house. Life is Good is going to be amazing

Anyway S1 got his own group Strange Fruit Project and they released their latest album recently on Bandcamp. I haven't got it yet but check it out

Dizaster bodied DNA, surprised it was that easy...

I only watched half of it, but Dizaster was stumbling and saying some cheesy shit. I admittedly got bored around the 30-40 minute mark. But up to that point, i would of given it to DNA. His line about wheelchairs and Drake/Degrassi had me rolling.

 

[HiResDes]

Yeah I was wrong, only had watched the first round...Which was ugly.

 

[DominoKid]

yo this Jet Life album is fire.

I thought Earl did all if not. Most of the beats for OF. Before he got shipped to where ever

well the whole calling it an r&b album thing struck me as so fucking wrong and confusing i felt no need to correct. like it makes no sense to me

yo this Jet Life album is fire.

YA YA YA, thanks for letting me know.

Just finished writing the verse, practicing it now. Well record probably tomorrow or sunday. That beat is awesome but hard to spit to in my style, gotta practice some

Earl doesn't make beats.
