What else were they expecting? Did no one listen to the ham remix? Or any other Busta feature?GodfatherX said:
Speaking of Busta, I just listened to The Big Bang for the first time the other day and really liked it. One of the best songs

XV's new tape is all kinds of awesome. I normally dont like most of his stuff and his voice gets annoying after a while but for atleast now this shit is great
U.F.C beat is ridiculous and xv's punchlines are on point

There's actually Busta Rhymes fans on these forums? Kind of surprising....
I think he's really underrated( based off what I've seen of course) and no one brings him up ever about great verses, nice to see some praise about him though.

About the Busta love I just think his voice and flow is so unique and I don't about the US guys but I just can't associate him with NY and that might have something to do with him not being regarded with the greats at least in the mainstream. He doesn't seem to have a clique he's just Busta Rhymes who drops hot verses on collabros. Just to say I love his music so I'm not hating.
Lauryn Hill Coachella 2011 she really needs to come back and show Nicki Minaj whats up and teach Drake how to sing and MC at the same time.

It's funny because I'm so much of a hip hop fiend + nerd that I didn't even think twice about the comment.

best to enjoy it while it lasts, coz if the trend continues then their next record is going to be terrible all over again
that first track you put up is fuckin dope.
Is the rest of their shit like this? They're subject matter is not as laid back as what I'm into recently. but still sounds good.
anyone here listen to any Binary Star? They have a few good tracks, not a big fan of their whole album, but when they're good, they're very good.

those 2 tracks are my favorite of theirs. Kind of the style I'm into nowadays. mellow old school beats. my music is a bit stale right now though, anyone have any recommendations for me?

Sorry bout the East Coast. They've pretty much fallen off as a whole. :/
kamspy said:
yeah, I pretty much have resorted to alot of my old school taste to keep myself satisfied right now. I haven't exactly been keeping up with the music as I used to, but I don't hear much out of NY right now and when I do it's still the same gangstar bullshit that they were talking about 10 years ago. We need an artist like Kanye, Lupe, etc.

He'll take it like a man go to the same prison that Scarface is in and they'll do a classic album together. Favor for a Favor and In between us are classics, Nas & Face > Nas & AZ.

I'm not a Drake hater. I just hate Drake collabos. I think the Boi-1da and Drake collabo on the Pimp C album forever tainted my appreciation that could possibly come from anything they do. Aside from Drake solo albums. I'm on record a few times here saying I really dug Thank Me Later.

I recently rediscovered Foxy Brown and her album Ill Na Na from 1996. The track The Promise must be on of the best songs of the 90's.

Unless I am misreading something I see nothing about yela getting "murked". Tech is saying Shady records is acting like a bitch and not wanting 9 guys all blabbering away on one song and wants it cut down to the 4 guys whose names are actually known rather than a giant clusterfuck of a song.
I only say that because the general music megathread got locked. I'd like to think we're specific enough of a sub-GAF to last from now 'til infinity.Blackace said:
EDIT: And yeah, that first new Swollen Members track is pretty tight. Madchild had a battle with meth (he looks like he's over 40 years old now) recently, so it's good to see he's rapping again. And it's good to see that it's good because some of their recent stuff was absolute shit.
their music is very bi-polar, as two of their albums, Heavy & Armed to the Teeth, are probably some of the worst albums you will ever listen to,h0pper said:
that is, in comparison to their debut album, Balance, which is an underground classic by every and all means.

their sophomore album, Bad Dreams, is pretty ok but a disappointing followup.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyXAPC10Vs0
the apology record to Heavy, Black Magic, is pretty good too albeit lyrically nonsensical

and if you like Binary Star, I will always and forever recommend One Be Lo - SONOGRAM whenever I have an excuse to do so.
easily one of the top 5, probably top 3, hiphop album to come out circia 2000-2009

Detox said:If Nas fucks his next album up I'm going to switch. Nas + Premier album and then a tour together will be fucking amazing.
Hell I would have no problem with Nas getting his poppy singles while doing 4-5 tracks with Premo for the album. Just make a good album. But I doubt it's gonna happen.

i just recently discovered Binary Star, and i like them quite a lot. best name for a rap group ever too. "two emcees who revolve around each other, and that's how we shine", or something like that 
Too bad they don't really have any other material. Check out One Be Lo- Sonogram. I know I just recommended it, but it's damn good. I would like anybody to check it out.astroturfing said:i just recently discovered Binary Star, and i like them quite a lot. best name for a rap group ever too.
