I always tried to get more bang for my buck, so if a CD had a bunch of songs, I'd buy it (did anyone else do this lol?).

Haha, ya, I totally did that. This was before listening stations so all you had to go on was if you'd heard them before or if someone said they were good, and then how cool the album cover was and how long it looked for the price.

At what age did you guys start listening to hip hop? Did somebody push you towards hip hop?

In the early 1980s popping and locking was very popular, so electro was introduced early, and from there, older kids got into hip hop. My cousins would put on a tape and we'd try to break dance in the living room. I didn't start buying stuff myself until 6th grade though, and I didn't have much money, but most of my extra money went to music.

I think my first rap tape was Whodini - Back in Black. I used to love "Funky Beat".

Oh shit, I had that too, but I think I bought it later in high school. But still on cassette.

I originally had Mecca & The Soul Brother in my top ten, but then it would have really been safe.

Your lack of obscure, eccentric rap albums in your top ten makes you a bad hip hopper Des.

Shame.

Atleast he gave us "Soul on Ice". He will never top that, and never even come close.

Hey Rasassination was a sick album.

The only problem was that it was follow up to a historic, all time effort.

We're doing Top 10s? Hmm, I'll have to cook one up.

Then you missed the Young Guru interview where he said he was working on it and heard most of it.

Don't. Don't do this kamspy. Don't.

EDIT: You know, no matter how I look at it, I just don't see how Gibbs signing with Jeezy was a good play. Jeezy is having a hell of a time staying relevant right now. That trap sound is on it's way out.

The hood still loves Jeezy. All he needs is one single and he's back. Look at Rick Ross. He was popular, got kinda lukewarm and bounced back higher then ever. I don't know if Jeezy is going to do the amount of work Ross did to step his game up. Officer Ross really put a ton of effort into improving his craft. You don't see that very often in this sub genre of hip hop.

As for Gibbs on Jeezy's label=

Hopefully. At least that's what Curren$y used the majors for.

@ Kampsy: I thought I was alone in noticing how much different/better officer ricky has gotten. Dude just improves his flow, makes a better rhyme. Jeezy on the other hand, has made the same song for a looooong ass time.

I remember going to the store in 6th grade to get the "Whoomp there it is" tape and getting 95 South's "Whoot there it is" on accident. That really bummed me out.

Why have I never heard of Funky DL? Im now just listening to "Classic was the day" and this is just pure win. Whats better than jazz and rap?!
Click to expand...

from my tastes: nothing. be sure to check out nujabes, uyama hiroto, sound providers....there's a great thread for instrumental and jazz rap about.

First hiphop song I ever heard? They Reminisce Over You. My pops said it was his favorite song from back in the day.

one of my first as well, still one of the best ever.

Then, after that, Game can release his R.I.P. Osama Bin Laden track he's had stashed off in his archive of R.I.P. tracks for the past 4 years.
Click to expand...

haha, this is sad. its like when KRS-1 says he has a diss track every year for every top 10 artist just to stay on his game, i wonder if Game has a R.I.P. track for every rapper/celebrity/etc going, and sometimes says "FUCK! how long is clint eastwood gonna live anyway?! verse 2 is dope, but it's not gonna be as relevant if people stop fuckin' with Tivo by then..."

Pretty sure that's a song off the upcoming Yelawolf album that Tech got salty about and leaked with his partners on it.

Maybe someone could clarify, but I'm pretty sure it's part of Yela's paid, retail album and Tech didn't foot the production or studio bills on it. Kinda weak/desperate of him to leak his version of it...

Download at your own moral peril. If it pops up on Yela's twitter I'll download it.

Grind Date is pretty amazing. Though the Bonz Malone rants get a little tiring sometimes, lol

Yeah from what I read and figured, Yela's camp thought it was going to be a yela, twista, tech 9, busta song. And then Tech threw a bunch of his weed carriers on the track at which point someone whose job it is to make mountains out of molehills thought it might make yela look bad to be on a track occupied by a bunch of guys nobody outside of tech himself has heard of.

Shiiiiit people are getting Goblin. Leak should go wide soon.

EDIT: Or they're not? I dunno, there are definitely pictures from people with the final CD out there, but all the leaks are the ones tyler put out on purpose that just have Celine Dion and Shaq on them :lol

Uh oh, a leak might affect album sales, they could end up selling 3 copies instead of 7.

They certainly seem to be confident in their fan base spending their lunch money on this album.

Think you're underestimating OF here and the popularity of people supporting a group they'd love to see grow.

Hahahaha there aren't any people with the physical copy either. Tyler faked the whole thing himself on 4chan.

I don't know how sales will be but they do have a ton of hype, could end up pretty damn successful. If Goblin and the Blackendwhite rerelease both tank I'll agree with you that they won't sell. For now I don't really care, I just want to hear the fuckawesome music.
