Anyone here listen to Jon Connor? Just peeped this track
http://theglorificationofgangster.bandcamp.com/track/the-heist-jon-connor-prod-elite

Pretty dope, any thing else I should listen to from him?

 

[reKon]

Jon Connor always goes nuts on his freestyles. 2dopeboyz has usually posted them

 

[siddx]

This Fox News bullshit with Common is pissing me off. Some straight up racist ass bullshit right there. If he was a white country singer they wouldn't be saying a fucking thing.

 

[SUPREME1]

Seriously?

softer than P tattooing G-Unit on his hand.
In other news, another Game single ft. Trey Songz on the same day as the Red Nation video is out with those shirts biting Roc Nation :lol *sigh* Will not link to it though, because it's featuring fucking Trey Songz. Who's probably even worse than Ne-Yo. Game, how do you even fuck up a Justin Timberlake feature?

G-Unit gave Prodigy $1,000,000.00 (minus Hav's cut and taxes)... and a porsche.

Daily Show last night was amazing, showing GWB honoring Johnny Cash, and one of those fox cunts defending Nugent screaming on stage that Obama and Hillary could suck on his shotgun or some crazy shit, and then that same cunt saying Common's lyrics are about killing cops.

Indeed, it's just so pathetic, how fucking hypocritical can you get?

Considering how these stupid ass rappers blow through their money, a million bucks is about a weeks worth of spending money.

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah, as usual, Daily Show nailed it.

the only good to come out of this week's bullshit is that i hope more people watch Def Poetry Jam, such a great show if you can get into that kinda thing - lotta good hip-hop performances too.

Errr, what's wrong with Ne-Yo? he has some pretty decent R&B albums.

 

[Baby Milo]

Well, he still hasn't made an entire album about being butt hurt over a video chick.

He will

soon enough

 

[IrishNinja]

Huh?

you heard.

 

[enzo_gt]

G-Unit gave Prodigy $1,000,000.00 (minus Hav's cut and taxes)... and a porsche.

They didn't even release an album did they? And they got out of the deal through a clause in their contract too? Bad investment in retrospect I think.

Errr, what's wrong with Ne-Yo? he has some pretty decent R&B albums.

Singlehandedly ruined L.A.X. Personal beef.

...in retrospect, Game kinda fucked up the West coast for mainstream rap, didn't he?

Well when you think about i- no.. no get these terrible thoughts out of my head.

And about that Common freestyle, I thought it was pretty good, but yeah Hip-Hop won't catch a break for anything because of it's young age. You guys should expect this kind of shit, especially from Fox News, not like this is the first time this has happened. Not until 10-20 years down the line when dubstep or whatever becomes the next big thing for youth. If it happens. Going into university and hearing people discovering the existence of dubstep and claiming its the next big thing makes me scratch my head, but I digress.

EDIT: Just saw the Daily Show piece. "And a happy birthday to rapper Ice-T" *facepalm* :lol

 

[KAL2006]

Someone said that Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was ghostwritten(I believe) and that she has a real bad attitude. I would read back to confirm, but damn you guys typed like 5 pages while I was asleep yesterday.

really I have always thought Hill wrote her own shit, I recently heardthis song of hers and those lyrics are great

Blood Money, and beats by Havoc and Alchemist for Banks, 50, Yayo etc.

 

[siddx]

Put em in their place was a great track. Album itself was pretty average though, better than Amerika's Nightmare though.

 

[enzo_gt]

Blood Money, and beats by Havoc and Alchemist for Banks, 50, Yayo etc.

I remember the single, never knew the album actually came out though on the label. How well did it do sales wise?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Listened to Big Sean's Finally Famous Famous Vol. 3.

I'm ashamed for missing out on him. His earlier mixtapes suck, though.

 

[kamspy]

No idea. But I bought the CD, and I wasn't buying or following music on the internet at the time, so the marketing penetration had to be pretty decent.

 

[hawt]

Seriously, dude! Reading through the comments on this article from NBC New York makes me wanna shoot myself in the face.

Also; funny that you mention country music...

SMH!

exactly. all falls down, adam lived in theory, etc - her unplugged shit was really good, and far as i know, that was all her. she's awesome.

ps LOL "REAL AMUHRICA" shit is like a proud badge of stupidity everytime it's used.

I can't find any solid numbers but everything indicates it did around 400K, way below what was expected although it did come out right as the music industry was really hitting it's collapse.

 

[enzo_gt]

I think 400k is damn decent by todays standards. Solidifies some sort of future interest to keep the career and momentum rolling, and it's not like Mobb Deep has problems selling out shows.

They're free agents now right? You know what shit would be hilarious? If Mobb Deep signed to GOOD Music. The hip hop world would completely implode on itself. One of the most amusing hip hop "what if" scenarios I can imagine.

 

[kamspy]

If yall want to get into some current Mobb shit, Prodigy's Return of the Mac, produced entirely by the Alchemist in Prodigy's "dark days" where he was drinking and doing what the fuck ever. So you get that starving artist bonus on all the lyrics. It's a really good album, but it's a product of a bad time.

Mac 10 Handle

This was a year after he got that mil, so he was probably consuming a pretty good amount of congac and blow.

400K is indeed excellent by today's standards, unfortunately this was when everything coming out of G-Unit records was supposed to sell a million at least. Mobb Deep just happened to come out just as everything began to go to hell for G-Unit and the industry in general, but in 50's mind, G-Unit was still on top of the game and the album should have gone platinum.

 

[overcast]

This fucking pissed me off. I was watching that last night. Common is A COP KILLERRR!!! GTFO of here.

 

[kamspy]

Right now I'm much more interested in a Prodigy album then a Mobb Deep album. No disrespect to Hav, but having him rap on every song is starting to sound like work. Especially when you've got a beast like P right there.

 

[siddx]

Thats because Havoc is a below average rapper.

 

[kamspy]

Thats because Havoc is a below average rapper.

Yeah, but we don't say that. We imply it. The Mobb is legendary. Havoc has earned it.

 

[enzo_gt]

P just put out an EP didn't he, right out of jail? But he's focused on a Mobb Deep project regardless. To be honest, I really only like Mobb Deep because of that extra little mile P goes on tracks in comparison to Havoc. Not that the Havoc bits are underwhelming but the P bits are more like the icing on the cake.

I have a bit more time now to listen to some music, so I 'loaded up Goblin despite being an Odd Future hater and need one other tape/album to listen to. Anything super essential I missed in 2010 with some good production and raps? Now that I've caught up on K.R.I.T. And Lamar.

 

[siddx]

Yeah, but we don't say that. We imply it. The Mobb is legendary. Havoc has earned it.

He gets mad respect for his production, but I hate his style of rapping. It always sounds like every few lines he realizes he's having trouble thinking of a word that rhymes so he just writes anything and moves on to the next bar.

 

[IrishNinja]

ill say it: Havoc sucks, and needs to stop running his mouth. infamous credit be damned.

Do you just ignore the lists that Siddx and I do every month?


...In related news, I've been bumping that Trouble mixtape as much as anything and I'm not even ashamed to admit it.

[siddx]

Enzo, this is the best I can do, the three mixtape mixtapes I threw together a while back. It's 60+ songs from a variety of mixtapes over the last year. See which you like and then seek out the full mixtape from that artist.

Nah I get shit from there frequently, but only consume as much as I have time for. So I'm not ready to dig up everything in 2010 to see what I need.

siddx make yourself useful and repost the links to that individual track compilation you made.

EDIT: Good man. Beat me to it. Thanks.

Nope. What am I in for? Who's it by? Is this some west coast cartographer turned rapper's album?

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.

So I've listened to it a couple times and let it sink in for a few days, and yeah, it's really good.
I can't find any other information on this Focus... dude anywhere though.

 

[Nabs]

Damn, just put on the news and this dude Tyler damn near started a riot in Boston. I think a cop got hurt.

Dude was hopping across rooftops on Newbury Street.

YEAH! I was walking with my friends and saw a store with "OFWGKTA sold out!" and was like wtf? Then I heard a friend say "This rapper name Tyler almost started a riot" and it all made sense

 

[TheOddOne]

I can't find any other information on this Focus... dude anywhere though.

He was signed on Dr. Dre's label as a producer. He left after not getting used for years.

He produced The Game's "Where I'm From" (featuring Nate Dogg) and more recently Busta Rhymes's "Respect My Conglomerate" (feat. Lil Wayne & Jadakiss).

[Double D]

Oh wow I didn't even realize you were talking about 2010...Did you ever check out Niggaz With Latitude?

I've been listening to this a whole lot more lately. What I love about it most is that I went into it hungry for more Deacon the Villain, and I've come away with a huge appreciation for Sheisty Khrist. You can get lost in his flow a little bit, but after a few listens everything just kind of popped out for me like I've just figured out some crazy math equation or something.

Just listen to Sheisty's verse on this song a couple times.
