sorry to bump the last few days of shit, i always have to get caught up: rapgenuis site is a trip, bookmarked "the long way home" to give it a go later, as well as that Tribe documentary, cause im hungry for anything ATCQ i can get these days (link's dead though, sadly).

yeah, Def Jam's kinda been fucking Meth for a while now, i wasnt as big on what i heard off Blackout! 2 as the original, but he's still got some strong albums in him, i think. i dont know that id say Rae is/should be the new head of the Wu but i do appreciate the direction he's trying for, even seeing them fuck with lesser artists is better than irrelevancy/going hungry.
that said...i hope RZA comes hard on Liquid Swords 2 and delivers the kind of sound most of us here seem to be looking for, cause i gotta agree, his wu wednesday stuff hasn't been great.
It was tight. The rappers before were average to garbage but once Wiz jumped on stage the place went nuts and then he jus kept doind good song after good song. Also so much weed, it was a beautiful harmony of weed smoke billowing off the crowd the whole performance.peterb0y said:
Im digging into old music again, here's a gem from a very overlooked album:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwdWf2az-2A
Chops f/ Phil Da Agony, Ras Kass, & Talib Kweli.
I wish Chops were a more active producer... I like his underground stuff better than his southern stuff.
-------
EDIT:
one more thing that's on my mind:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz9pWUoOSss
the newest Swollen Members song, which is a group I absolutely loved when they released Balance.
Balance is a fucking underground classic, I consider it a plateau on the levels of a 3rd eye Vision type of record that underground rappers wish they could achieve but prolly never will.
off the strength of Balance I have never slept on a SM album, even tho they have all been either above average to straight up terrible (Heavy & Armed to the Teeth... :barf
. I guess theyre like my underground version of Mobb Deep or something...
If you have never heard Balance;

I didn't like the dude off the bat because of that verse. Not that it was bad, but it annoyed me because he was feeling himself too much. Heard his toca tuesday freestyle, though, dude can spit.
So I listened to Mood Muzik 4 in its entirety straight, and then Free Agent straight a few hours later.
Mood Muzik 4 is really, really, thick you could say? Budden lays the shit on heavy, but I'm liking what I hear. But, I'm not feeling Free Agent so much. I don't know what it is but I love me some Joell but some of these songs aren't that great or don't come together well or something. Maybe I gotta give it a few more spins. Am I the only one who feels its pretty underwhelming?

I love that verse simply for that line. Makes me lol every time. Pusha T holds the crown for best verse though.
Acid08 said:
Love that track
I gotta go with La Petite Mort or Loneliness as my favorites though.
Oh and while we are on the subject, I gotta know, am I the only one who gets agitated when Kno's verse on I wish I was dead comes on? The beat is amazing, tonedeff drops an amazing verse...and then Kno comes on and just drops a straight dogshit verse that should never have made it out of his notebook.

Same and I'm about the biggest Kno apologist you might meet. I let it slide simply because the beat is so fucking amazing and Tonedeff's verse is just out of this world. I wonder if he recorded it before Tone layed his verse down and just didn't feel like doing a new one? Kno is more than capable of laying down some metaphorical shit so it's weird to hear him get so fucking lazy on what is one of my favorite beats/tracks on the album.
That beat deserved a "Things I Dream" level verse:

Tokubetsu said:
I just can't imagine letting something like that slip through. The only reason I let all my shitty verses and fuck ups slide on what i've recorded was the fact I had next to no time to record and therefor had no time to redo anything at all (16 tracks in 10 hours? yeah...) Well that and I suck to begin with. But it just stands out like a sore thumb of ass in a sea of brilliance on kno's album.
What a shame.

Dammit. I wish I'd known about this earlier, I thought it was something you guys just started! Ah well, I'l toss my verse up separately.
I'm so split on that line, his delivery of it is sick, but it just seems slightly cheesy when you think about it. But soo good to listen to.LOZLINK said:
Even though I'm not down with CyHi as a whole, that "I keep bitches by the twos, n*gga Noah's Ark" line is great. His delivery is pretty damn good.

Kno's thinking behind that verse was to not only tell the story he was presenting, but rap it the way he felt he would if he were in that kind of condition, hence the sort of droll delivery. He's said that he's well aware it isn't for everyone and knew it wouldn't be when he recorded it, but wanted to go a little beyond providing the narrative by also being in-character, so to speak, while he recorded it.
thoughts on the new redman album? I think its okay, its got some bangers

I mean Kanye's album is good and everything, but it can't stack up IMO. Death Is Silent is just insanely tight in every sense of the word.

Asian version of Wiz's "Black And Yellow"
:lol :lol I can't tell if it is supposed to be a parody or what.

What? Everyone here is praising it as the second coming so I'm gonna check it out once exams are over :lolTokubetsu said:

Best version of Black & Yellow I've heard thus far is the West Coast one ft. Snoop & Game.
Also that J. Reyez dude is muchos shit at rapping. I've seen his videos before, dude's nothing special.
