The fact that someone put Goblin on the same level as illmatic makes me want to never frequent this thread again.

not a snob at all, but cmon son. Illmatic is perfection, can't say the same as goblin. Solid album, but in no way on the same level as hip hop greats. Red Flame>Goblin

There are more than a couple gaffers here who believe It Was Written > Illmatic. Just so you know.

 

[overcast]

Goblin is really good stuff. Doesn't touch Illmatic though.
Damn, the Cole track was pulled before I could listen to it.
When does noyork drop?

Of course I realize that, there's also a gaffer who believes Wu tang Forever>36 chambers who's also the best drunk poster ever.

 

[Kusagari]

The beat on that Cole track is insane. Great song.

Damn.. I'll just download it.
Edit: Shit you're right. Cole is great.

One was raw, the other is a mature Wu.....Give me Wu4Ever any day, sunshine. 6kisses#

 

[Net_Wrecker]

That new J. Cole is SO much better than Disgusting. I don't know what he was thinking with that track.

Seriously. Apparently this is another random cole track, not off the album. Hopefully the album is like this, but even better.

Shinobi that you?

 

[CRS]

Oh shit. The Return of (Wu)4Eva > 36 Chambers.

 

[DaMan121]

Is it me, or is J Cole channeling Kanye in his last two tracks..

#FREE SHINOBIS
for real, cant be much longer now can it?

 

[BlackBeltBambi]

Shinobi that you?

Thank you, but no honey. 6Kisses sweetie# Anyway, Is J.Cole doing all the production for his debut album? Or does he have fellow dudes from the rock lacing him with beats, like Kanye? I wouldn't mind J.Cole on a Just Blaze beat.

Elzhi tape is bananas. The live instrumentation, while some may dislike it, was a great way to differentiate it from the original. I love the instrumental interludes, I got fucking chills when that Represent intro kicked in on the track before it. I like how he didn't just set out to copy it lyrically, he re imagined each song...... One Love is a perfect example of this.

The complaints I have:
- Where is One Time 4 Your Mind?!?
- Detroit State of Mind beat is slightly off as someone said earlier. This makes it probably the weakest track IMO.
- Royce feature was kind of embarrassing. Some people can write songs, others just write bars.... Royce is the latter. Generic and uninspired.

Overall, one of the best releases of the year. THIS is how you pay homage. I can see a bunch of shitty rappers right now trying to remake The Chronic and 36 Chambers and failing miserably...

 

[kamspy]

We will see how you feel in two weeks. You are high off that new CD smell.

We all have been there at one time or another.

For sure. I'll cop to that.

Seriously. Apparently this is another random cole track, not off the album. Hopefully the album is like this, but even better.

Farewell, Enchanted, 2face, The Autograph, were all dangerously close to making the album cut. Also this song is probably going to be on the album:

That should give you an idea of what to expect.

Probably my favorite track on "Hail Mary Mallon" gets a video:

'Garfield':

[RPS37]

Nero – Skew It On The Bar-B Freestyle

Omen – Colorful Noose (prod. Voli)

Also, this free album came out today

Focus - Music of the Misinterpretted [bandcamp link so it's streamable]

 

[hawt]

Ugggh! The Elmatic that got dropped is 128kbps? I can't listen to this shit. This is some stone age shit.

Completely killed my hype.

The link from Elzhi's website is 320kbps.

My favorite right now is Grubstake. I just love the back and forth they do. So sick.

It only occurred to me last night that Elzhi is the dude from Slum Village. That's where I know the name from.

Also:

FRANK FUCKING OCEAN GODDAM SON

 

[tsurugi no mai]

FRANK FUCKING OCEAN GODDAM SON

Frank Ocean and The Weeknd are bringing R&B (ish) back.

 

[IrishNinja]

RPS37 - streaming that Focus - Music of the Misinterpretted now, shit's nice so far...thanks man! vocals sound slightly familiar (in a good way) and production's good by me too.

 

[base shagohod]

What the fuck is needledrop

some blogger. just a coincidence then that you used the same exact phrase as him when commenting on the album.

[kamspy]

So....is MCC coming out right after Weekend at Burnie's?

 

[DominoKid]

who knows.

he's still got the mixtape w/ DJ Drama. the mixtape w/ Chuck English. and Pilot Talk 3 coming out this year.

so no shortage of Spitta in the coming months.

i hope he does a mixtape or EP w/ Trademark. they compliment each other well.

 

[HiResDes]

Trademark is almost as monotonous as Cham...Awful

Not gonna lie, but lately, you've been pissing me off HiRes. I feel like you do this shit now just to be different. *folds arms* Mayer Hawthorne over Ocean? Really bruh? This is coming from someone who owns that Novel EP with cowboys too. I'm throwing you off the building.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

No love for I Am?

Sometimes I'll post shit just to fuck with ya'll, but I'm dead serious on this...

I like Frank Ocean, but jeez I thought that mixtape only had like 4 or 5 bangers on it...Novel and Mayer Hawthorne have a couple of releases under their belt and each one has like 8 or 9 bangers on it.

Also...DANKNESS (Listen to the understated lyrics, figure out what makes that shit genius).

 

[DominoKid]

MH freaked the Chromeo song real nice.

I feel like I need to be sipping on a classy beverage listening to this.

what else has he put out since A Strange Arrangement?

 

[HiResDes]

...You've Got the Makings of a Lover is so dank from the new release

Also the ScienZe track with Ayomari is so momentous, JEEZ!

...Novel's Legato Blues Summer > Nostalgia Ultra

Kam what you know about this

 

[siddx]

Legato Summer Blues was indeed good stuff. But I am not a huge fan of RnB in general.

 

[kamspy]

Kam what you know about this

if it's on that mixtape I skipped it when I went through the streams. pretty dope sound.
