...Well to be honest I was lying about Toro Y Moi, I forgot how much I used to listen to him back when he was still making prototypical chillwave music...But then the genre got so watered down that I avoided listening to it much...And before long I forgot I even had it.

@ Siddx maybe my tastes are really changing for the worse. I've been listening to so much jazz and folk music lately LOL

The jazz I can get with (unless its that aimless bullshit that just sounds like a bunch of heroin addicts playing around with instruments while out of their mind high.)
But folk music...man, don't make us take your hiphopgaf card away.

 

[K.Jack]

Battle rap is cool as hell when it stays on the stage and off the CDs.

I'm still listening to OF. Never really got into the older tapes until now. Still don't get the rampant love. I don't want to come off like I think he's bad, he's just not touching Tyler, Earl, Mike G or even rapping Frank Ocean. Honestly I put Hodgy and Domo on the same level. The Radical mixtape has some great songs. For some reason I always just ignored it. Splatter might be Tyler's best 'just spittin' song. Earl also owns Rich Boys Drop beat on that tape better than anyone else I've heard.

Really refreshing collective.

Come on now, Mike G has never spit a verse better than Hodgy, and they've done tracks together. And Domo is just ass. Wtf is wrong with you?

Lots of people say this but its just how it evolved.

If you call that evolution, I want off of this planet.

seriously? what kind of reply is this? Do I have to link you the dictionary definition or are you just an asshole trying to call me out for no reason?

 

[siddx]

...Everlast?

Gotta be honest, I can't stand folk music everlast, I'm glad he returned to straight up hip hop on that La Coka Nostra album.

speaking of ill bill, anyone get that Heavy Metal Kings album by him and Vinnie Paz? I seem to remember some talk about it. How was it? Ill Bill is so hit or miss for me and I'm not a big Paz fan but when Bill is on, he is fucking fire.

I'm talking about Freak Folk

lol wtf is freak folk?

 

[WanderingWind]

Nobody could, outside of a brief moment in 1998, between September and November.

It's K.Jack, he's like the lifelong benchwarmer of teamhiphop.

I didn't get it but none of the tracks I've heard, especially production wise, were doing it for me. If you're in the mood for some Ill Bill though, I really enjoyed last years Kill Devil Hills with DJ Muggs. Great production throughout:

Everlast feature too!

 

[HiResDes]

lol wtf is freak folk?

Basically shit like this

 

[siddx]

Yeah I though that Devil Hills album was alright.
I was still high off of Hour Of Reprisal, which I thought was genius, so I didn't get into Devil Hills as much as I probably should have.

 

[siddx]

Basically shit like this

What in the blue fucking hell....lol damnit HiRes

 

[Acid08]

I'm Dracula bitch.

 

[CRS]

Basically shit like this

So what makes that "freak" folk?

Also, that's really good. Will look them up.

 

[HiResDes]

Freak folk draws from traditional folk music and uses mainly acoustic instrumentation, but introduces elements of avant-garde music, baroque pop and psychedelic folk, often featuring uncommon sounds, themes, and vocal styles.

 

[IrishNinja]

FEELIN ME SOME FREAK FOLK

Also, Gravediggaz making a new album?

awesome, im down for some real horrorcore shit.

Fucking RZA go make a album with the OG Wu members.

again, ive granted myself the RZA-stan crown of this thread, and frankly, if his mind's not there, i dont want him on it. if shaolin vs wu-tang didnt wake him up, let him keep making kung-fu flicks in china and writing books, cause im sure both are more enjoyable than another half-hearted 8 diagrams.

 

[PhoenixDark]

RZA is done, who cares about Gravediggaz in 2011?

 

[Acid08]

RZA is doing all the production on Liquid Swords 2 so.....there's that.

Ahh okay. Man, so many artists, old and new, I still haven't listened to. Hopefully I'll get around to it sometime soon.

 

[IrishNinja]

like 3 of us on this page, anyway? why ya'll got me on ignore and shit

speaking of: yeah, an update of any kind on Liquid Swords 2 would be really nice.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Keep telling yourself it will be even half as good as LQ1 or that it will even actually happen.

 

[Acid08]

FUCK YOU MAN I NEED THIS.

GZA will probably just record himself farting into a microphone.

don't get your hopes up son, it'll be a disaster.

 

[Cedric]

I don't understand how anyone could be hyped for Liquid Swords 2, GZA is an old man far past his prime. His last album was boring as fuck and that Paper Plates diss was a snooze-fest. He might still have some dope lyrics but his flow and voice are so monotone and not in a good way (see Guru).

edit: You know what, I think he's currently the worst member of the Wu... Probably tied with INS, funny how the tables have turned.

Did you guys listen to 8 Diagrams? HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAH.

so basically Blu?

i kid, i kid

 

[IrishNinja]

catchin' feelings on this page, fam. dont be squashing my wu-dreams here: some of ya'll are too big for me to be throwing off buildings, but please believe, i will trip you.

 

[DominoKid]

</thatargument>

 

[siddx]

i kid, i kid

Actually....yes

 

[HiResDes]

Definitely not aimless bullshit

...And that wraps up my non-hip hop related posts.

 

[CRS]

Taking it back tonight.
Another song from Laws' Yesterday's Future mixtape which should come out today (Tuesday).
Momma Miss America

Goddamn, sometimes wiki leads me to the most interesting shit.

I had no idea that before Alchemist produced (and before he was called Alchemist) he went by Mudfoot and was in a group with Scott Caan (the actor, he was in Ocean's 11, son of James Caan). The group was called The Whooliganz, and were briefly part of the Soul Assassins Collective. They released one album before splitting up.

Their first single


Also just read that the dude who shot 50 cent 9 times was a close friend and bodyguard of Mike Tyson. Don't know if thats true or complete bullshit.

Didn't the album get shelved too? ALC looked so young here. Probably sitll in high school here. He went to NYU around 97 right? Thats how he ended up linking with NYC cats and meeting Prodigy etc. I wonder if they're all still friends? I know Evidence has talked about reading lines with DiCaprio before

Wiki says he got hooked up with Mobb Deep through DJ Muggs. Muggs took alc under his wing seeing a talent for making beats, and then introduced him to Prodigy who was so impressed with his production he had him produce on every album after that.

Prodigy use to think Alc was a fed. True story.

i dunno if i put that down to just a funny story or prodigy being stupid

 

[Detox]

[Throavium]

Nocando is one of the few Battle Rappers whose put out a good LP, check Jimmy the Lock.

Both. Ballerina P has some dark secrets.

just got back from voting Uncle Luke for miami mayor. feels good, man.

fuck it: i had a provisional job offer from metro dade fire dept a few years back, and then the state froze the funding - less than a year after my medic internship with them, where we learned the county had a 3+ year surplus...but FL is saying that damn near doubling property tax in the last decade or so wasn't enough? some shady shit going down, and frankly, any dude with that many big-booty-ho's pay-per-view specials can a) fundraise like a motherfucker and b) has his priorities straight.

if/when he loses, i'm gonna blame his lack of a verse on classic tracks like "can a n*gga get a table dance" cause that was just lazy.

 

[Esch]

yeah, so i just nabbed XV- no heroes. not bad. I like dude, he has a good synergy with seven and i'm partial to hip hop from the midbest(represent) so it's nice to see someone with actual talent come out of somewhere besides detroit and actually get some rec for it.

 

[HiResDes]

I think this remix is the best thing to come out of that mixtape...[

I should go vote- but I prob won't, too lazy...

edit: what does gaf hop think of this guy, btw:
http://flavela.com/?p=7799

I knew about him before the Pharell cosign- my mom's secretary at work is related to him. Apparently he's rich as fuck. He didn't go to college, his dad just built him an incredible studio at home. Hes okay, but he managed to make Wiz softer. My gf is visiting during his release party, so well prob check it out.

 

[Esch]

good stuff, but i personally love this over a good set of speakers... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJYFypK1XhI

insight into the mind of Wale on 106&Park

"Guys, I'm here too! Make sure you get me in the picture."

"Look at this nigga Pill. Why Ross dont hug me in public???"

"Yeah! I'm in the group! Let me try and look hard right now."

Ross: "Heh heh heh. Where Wale? Oh yeah. I ate him. BAWSE!"

 

[TheOddOne]

Am I the only guy laughing at Wale's pants? I'm in tears.

 

[effzee]

Can't stand 106 but that female host. Roxy? Oh my.
