Time for my contribution of music that I still like to play times (Hopefully I don't repeat what anyone said in the past few pages but if I do then that proves how dope it is)

water-street.jpg


Water Street by Sweatshop Union

The latest album by this Canadian Hip-hop group that tell it like it is. Should definitely give this a listen very soulful and insightful.

Stereotype by Blitz the Ambassador

Found this Ghanian/American dude from one of my youtube subs. Pretty amazing if you're into those more rap albums where the live orchestration is what really fuels the experience.

While You Were Sleeping by Canto I

This album is like progressive Hip-hop perfection. These two dudes simply mesh together so well. Might have to play it over to get some things but still good.

And I Love H.E.R. by Danny!

I hate how this dude gets slept on so hard cause he definitely deserves more recognition. I know someone else mentioned him a few pages back but this one if my fav just because I like conceptual albums that flow track after track. Give it a listen as well.

Yeah, I do agree with that. The chorus was on point, but the content was a little meh. But I still think it's worth posting for the simple fact that it's something new for Lu which seems like a genuine rarity these days.

Idk if someone posted it already but Kid Cudi's album got pushed to Sept. 28th. G.O.O.D. Music day? Kanye's is the only album that has a chance of dropping the 14th.

Anyway, revisiting one of my favourite albums from my childhood:

Wasn't there someone in the previous thread that for some godforsaken reason was trying to defend soulja boy, saying that his rhyming and beats have gotten a lot better?

QN5 just dropped the art for my second most anticipated album of 2010:

KZwed.jpg


Kno's (CunninLynguists) Death Is Silent. Dropping October 12th. Entirely produced by him, this a bit of a return to the mic album as he's only had a total of four verses on the last 4 CL albums. The record’s concept involves the inevitability of death and its impact on love, life, family and friends.

We'll see, but good for them to realize his talent and that he now will be able to reach out to a bigger audience (and then get hated on for selling out :lol)

I'm listening to Power 93.9 online.. hahah pretty good station.

Doesn't beat K104 though http://www.k104fm.com/

I was asking for some good streams/stations in the other thread but as usual was ignored, so thanks for the info.

IDK why I didn't like it, but I wasn't feeling it either. I youtubed the track last night, and just was rather bored. I'm a big Lupe fan in general, and his two albums are two of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. Yet this just did nothing for me. I listened once, and don't feel compelled to listen again.

Speaking of Lupe though WTF is the deal with this guy and his album? I know he switched from the 3 and out thing with Lupe E.N.D. and has contractual obligations for more stuff. I know he's got the album Lasers to drop, but why do I feel like that was done like a year ago, and this shit still isn't out? Can Hip-Hop GAF explain to be WTF the hold up is here?

Lupe hates leaks and thinks album sales can still make you rich.

It's not 1998, and if it were, backpack rap still wouldn't get you rich. :lol

Lupe thinks Food and Liquor would have gone platinum if a million people didn't download it. It's a bad argument and it really seems to drive his entire focus towards music. Which is odd considering how anti-mainstream he strives to be, yet is so obsessed with album sales.

If he wanted to release music he'd go indie. Instead he'll let his label dick him around just so he can look bigger than he is.

Lupe made my favorite album of all time, but he's been on some straight garbage shit lately. Glad somebody (formerly) in his own camp called him out for being a complete shithead to his fans. Canceling a mixtape because your previous one leaked early? What a total bitch move.
