I've only heard Beacon and the other single. Beats are interesting. I like em. Dessa verses are listenable almost as a novelty. But then the other MCs just come in and put me to sleep. Really bland voices and deliveries. It's just not my genre. I'm not really hating, just not participating. The Cecil Otter picture, well, that really caught me off guard last night.

fair enough. what about his picture caught you off guard, though?

That Cecil track on the website (Rebel Yellow) is pretty dope. But heres a shocker...I actually agree with kam to some degree, a lot of the rappers on doomtree are a little bland imo. Great production, some incredible writers, but as rappers, quite a few of them are dull.

really? doomtree is more of a collective than an actual group.. this is their second "crew" record. dessa's solo stuff is great (as you know), POS' entire catalogue is mindblowing, cecil's record (rebel yellow) rules, SIMS newest (bad time zoo, which came out earlier this year) is incredible. check 'em out.

I didn't mean to say it was [I]all[/I] about image. I fucks with Danny Brown and Tyler pretty hard.

I did YT POS- Never Better and it's pretty dope.

EDIT: Just YT'd some more POS. Sometimes he raps like he has a side part.

Scarface's discography is so fucking good. I've been on a scarface binge recently. Made, Emeritus, The Fix, Last of a dying breed, and of course Diary and Untouchable. Not to mention all the geto boys albums.

Which brings me to the question, Blackace, how familiar are you with scarface's work? Cause I would love a Scarface centric set sometime.

I like Scarface a good amount, hes not my fav or anything. Funny story: the spring break house that my buddies and I rented out the past two years was one of his vacation spots, apparently he rented out that house a lot.

Good list. I really need to check out No Kings asap.

To kamp, I don't think it matters how somebody looks when they rap. They can be the corniest looking motherfucker, but if they can spit I don't care. Also, Dessa is pretty attractive but I think I speak for others when I say nobody would listen to her if she wasn't great at making music.

Yeah, it was posted in the last OT. It's fantastic stuff, too bad Jay passed on it.

Dammit, I was late as usual :p

Maybe someone else could get in touch with this guy and pick up the beats. They really scream Jay-Z to me, but I'd hate to see them go without being used.

Really? I still think the best tracks Big Sean has ever done were his Mike Posner collabs (Smoke N Drive, etc.) and Posner's mixtapes from 09 were pretty good.
Click to expand...
I don't love Posner, but as a Dukie I got to see him live a bunch before he blew up; I feel like you always kinda root for a dude that you've seen get big right in front of you.

The new mixtape is pretty good, not sure how I feel about his covers though. And all the features are pretty great. I mean, Elzhi even gets on a track.

I love Dessa, and I love Castor the Twin, but there's no way I'd put a retreaded album in my top ten...



Edit: Speaking of the Geto Boyz, I hope everyone played Chuckie ten times in a row last Halloween.

I feel it is worthy of it. The way they did the production is fantastic.

Totally valid point; myself, I'm pretty liberal with personal rankings. IE if a mixtape (even if it has jacked beats) for whatever reason falls into my favorite/most listened to pile of music from a year, I'm gonna give it a nod. And Dessa doesn't get enough love as it is.

That being said.... If Common doesn't disappoint shes probably getting dropped, I already have her represented in No Kings.

Sweet pussy pie, you are a good man.



Dessa's album, despite being a "retread" is still better than the majority of horseshit that will end upon top 5 lists like Take Care and WTT. And even if it's a remix album, the songs are significantly different enough that they are in some cases practically brand new songs.

I don't disagree, I just think the past year has been inconspicuously great, although I must say Onra's new album sounds like more of a retread than Castor, The Twin. *Eyes Shinobi*
