Will listen once I get home but let me guess...nothing like their old work right?

I am still hoping at least 1 track will sound something like the style they both used to rap in.

Same. I spent half of the time wondering where to download, but I guess it's good in that it doesn't have a timer that you have to wait to expire before you download.

I like I'm on Everything more than Fast Lane, actually... Eminem sounds more "Shady" if you know what I mean.

Also I love that Nikkiya track. Never heard of homegirl before but she can sing...

12 Minute Freestyle
Bad Meets Evil
Nuttin' To Do
Renegades
Rock City
Scary Movies
She's the One
What The Beat (feat. Method Man)

Those I guess.

And I like the new track. I love back and forth verses, and this EP is looking to deliver in that aspect.

You might never know. Lupe might do a gospel track one of these days.

It's from Gemini/GemStones/Demarco Castle's Troubles of the World. I'm not sure if that album ever got released or anything, though.

Bad blood between Lupe and Gem?

Nah. I think they're cool. It's just that GemStones dropped his whole "hard" persona and went to the Church. He does gospel music now. Gem was one of my favorite MCs ever since Lupe brought him out there.

His version of Free Chilly is fire even though it's short. Free Chilly is just one of those beats on an album that I wish an artist did more with.

The Die will always be one of my favorite contributions from Gemini. Fuck that GemStones name.

Wikipedia says it's from F&Fth: Part VI. Seems wrong though. Never knew there was a part VI.

Gemini got dropped from F&Fth before though, no? I thought that was a cause of his departure.

Yeah, The Die was pretty beast. And I may be wrong, I just looked up Part VI and it does exist. It has Free Chilly and We On amongst other Gemini tracks.

Yeah, he was dropped from 1st&15th along with Matthew Santos. The only person still in 1st&15th with Lupe is Sarah Green. The story is different from person to person, but Lupe himself said that there was no bad blood between any of them and I think Matthew Santos himself confirmed that he was cool with Lupe. We haven't heard a lot from Gem though.

EDIT:
WAIT!

I still don't get why Lupe gutted the label. He referenced it a couple of times in his song, but always comes off as a egotistical douche.

Post more back and forth song verses plz. That shit is like crack for me.

EDIT: Nardwuar vs. Curren$y Pt.2

Not feeling I'm On Everything as much as I'd like. The crazy flow on Fast Lane is better IMO.

Holy shit:
Nardwuar: I once interviewed Marilyn Manson, and he said he had sex 11 times a day.
Curren$y: *gat damn face*
Narduwar: Are you anywhere near there?
Curren$y: ...like.. with another person?

I'm dying here. Holy shit this is the funniest Nardwuar vid yet. He also did one with Tech N9Ne recently.

Don't like the new Em/Royce. The beat is annoying, the hook is annoying, and I wish they kept rapping how they did in the first verse for the whole song.

I remember discovering this on YouTube like a year ago, took me totally by surprise. Such a dope collabo. Kanye and Common's Southside is also another back and forth song I love.

Of course nothing tops Black Star to me personally. I hope Kendrick Lamar's and J.Cole's forthcoming mixtape has some of this style.

Supposedly, but if it does drop this it probably won't be till the end of year with Kendrick about to come out with Section.80 and J.Cole about to drop the album single in a few weeks (days?). I did hear this a few weeks ago and I hadn't heard it before, now I'm super hyped.

If we're talking Dipset, Crunk Muzik, Dipset anthem and Santana's Town.

So glad they're back together. Hope they don't fuck around with Luger and put some more of those AraabMuzik beats on. Everything Dipset is hype. Gonna hit up that Gunz N Butta next too when I get a chance.

Listen to Stop it 5, Always Made It, and Salute and tell me he isn't a good producer.

Granted, "Hip Hop GAF" probably won't like him because all his beats don't sound like they're from before 2000. #shotsfired

Not sure if you guys know, but these lame rappers are the ones who are asking Lex Luger himself for beats that sound like BMF/Hard in the paint.

There was actually an article with him and asking why does all of his beats sound the same and he said that he'd give rappers beats that sound different from his usual and they'd say they don't want it and they want something like BMF.

I'll try to find the whole article and paste it

Right here. On the second page.

On the criticism that all his beats sound the same said:
“It is [true], in a way. But every interview I do, I try to tell them that it’s a lot more than that [‘B.M.F.’ sound]. When I’m sending out 40 beats a day to one artist, out of those 40 he might pick two just because they sound like ‘B.M.F.’ or ‘Hard In The Paint,’ and he feels like that’s his hit. I think that’s a big problem in music right now. Everybody is like, ‘Oh, he’s hot right now. I’m going to try and get something that sounds like him.’ And that’s what I feel like a lot of artists did to me because Waka was really the biggest thing at one time. So they wanted that ‘Hard In The Paint’ sound. And I was just the man behind that, so they reached out to me. So when I sent them other types of music, they were like ‘What is this?’ I want ‘B.M.F.’ or ‘Hard In The Paint. Don’t send me this.’ So what I try to do now is, I try and hold the ‘B.M.F.’ and ‘Hard In The Paint’ sound to myself. I won’t send that out. I’ll send the pop music or the R&B out to the major artists so they have to do it.”

“But certain artists just want ‘Hard In The Paint’ and ‘B.M.F.’ The thing that kills me is it’s the big artists that have five and six albums already out, asking me for what I made a year ago. I was at the airport, someone was calling me, and I didn’t know who it was, so I picked it up like, ‘Yeah, what’s up? This is Lex Luger.’ And they was like, ‘Yeah, this is Chingy.’ I was like, ‘Who? Chingy?’ I couldn’t believe that man. [Laughs.] He called me like, ‘I need some beats man. I want to go back in.’ And I wasn’t like, ‘Nah. Chingy, I don’t want to work with you.’ I was like, ‘Alright, cool.’ He was like, ‘I want that ‘Hard In The Paint.’ Give me something just like ‘Hard In The Paint.’’ I was like, ‘Bruh, I can’t do it.’ A lot of people like that call me though. I get that all the time. Busta Rhymes called me the other day. Sean Garrett said he wanted a hit for the club. They’ll call me and be like, ‘I need that hit to bring me back.’”

Glad you like my list! I'm still down for some recommendations haha
Click to expand...

Never posted in this thread before, but saw your earlier list and can give you some recommendations. We have pretty similar taste in artists. Used to be heavily into Hip Hop about 5-10 years ago when a good amount these artists were hitting their stride. You may know some of this stuff, not sure. I'll try to bless you with some knowledge though!

First...saw you recommending Crown City Rockers. Did you know their group was originally called Mission:? They changed names when Moe Pope left the group (saw you recommended his music as well). They have a good amount of material under this name. One of my favorite tracks from them, a b-side:

Mission: - Soul Chips

When Moe Pope left Mission:, he linked up with Insight (I can get into Insight more thoroughly if you want, but a lot of your recommendations are Insight groups/pseudonyms if you weren't aware) in Boston for the group Electric (fka Electric Company). Grab the Electric album "Life's a Struggle" if you haven't heard it before. One of the tracks:

Electric - Respect Life

Afterwards, Moe Pope and a few of the MC's from Electric formed the offshoot group Project Move. Here's one of the tracks I enjoyed from their album:

Project Move - Butterfly Theory

Also, Raashan Ahmad, MC from Mission: and Crown City Rockers has solo material out you'd like...all in the same vein.

Hope that gets you started! If you like any of that I've got plenty more to recommend.

Preciate it, I have no problems at all with Lex Luger ever since I read that article, but more problems with these rappers/producers who just go for that type of style. You'd think they'd be the ones who want to start trends and not follow them.
