Man, what the fuck is up with all these albums dropping that I want so soon? All the records I'm buying in Nov (some of which I already got on pre-order):
Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon II: Legend of Mr. Rager
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Yelawolf - Trunk Muzik 0-60
Curren$y - Pilot Talk II
Gangrene - Gutter Water

Most of them dropping on the same god damn day. It's like Novemeber doesn't have any other Tuesdays save the 9th and the 23rd and instead of dropping on the 9th, they're all gonna drop on the 23rd. Got the Sawblade EP coming too.


EDIT: More fire for the bullshit rapper hate? Pitchfork gave Flockaveli an 8:

in the album biz, you either get pushed back (which will happen for a few of those due to 0 buzz) or sent out to die.

I'm probably late to the party, but OddFuture is the new shit. I'm just digging into their work, and its all top notch. This shit is amazing.

Cudi has all the buzz he's going to get and
Yelawolf - Trunk Muzik 0-60
Curren$y - Pilot Talk II
Gangrene - Gutter Water

won't even approach going gold. They'll be lucky to go wood in the hood. ;) Might as well have them on the same shelf as Kanye on day 1.

I sort of like Yelawolf's corny self, and I didn't even know his debut record was about to drop.

He's not going to do very well, I think.

Box Chevy is one of the greatest songs to play in the car ever made.

Curren$y's best shit was his mixtapes rapping over old beats. That's how I first discovered him after his track over Breakadawn. His current shit is like wtf. Michael Knight duh duhduhhdudhuhduhdhduhdh

I'm not really up to speed with these things, but does the dude have any buzz at all?

Yela has a shitload of buzz coming off his BET performance as well as a Fader cover story. Maybe not mainstream buzz, but definitely buzz in the "still buys music" community.

Just saw Curren$y play here in Orlando. He played a hot show for sure. Has anyone else seen him live?

Saw him last week here with Big KRIT and Smoke DZA. Really good show. I think if they all got money behind them from a label, they could be major. But it actually think they are loving the game right now.

All I ask is if you are going to rap about bullshit, at least do it well.
Nelly, Wiz Khalifa, Game, E40...they all rap about bullshit. But they do it well. Content wise it's not much different from Gucci Mane. Money, bitches, drugs, guns, parties, repeated over and over and over. But they do it in an interesting or at the very least, aurally pleasing method. For instance E40 has a unique and interesting flow.
Click to expand...
E-40 is great, but I was just thinking about this - great in a club or social setting, but that's about it. There's nothing high-brow about it, 40 Water flows real smooth about hustling and bitches and - that's it. One friend called it gangster rap without the gangster part, which doesn't quite fit, but I don't like calling it bullshit music, either. Hyphy will have to do, but since I'm not from the Bay, no one knows what the hell I'm talking about! Just hip-hop I suppose.

Still, 2010's Revenue Retrievin' was pretty good. Both shifts.

I'll have to watch the video later, but I sampled the album on Amazon and I might just be a convert to this. Not to mention it's only $6.49 for a digital download of the whole album! That's impulse buy territory right there.

Def Jam seems to be confident in Big KRIT, I think he'll get some support. Currency....he seems pretty chill doing his own thing and making the money he's making. Pilot Talk hasn't sold well, but considering it's an independent album 70k isn't bad right?

Meanwhile, new Blu interview. His Warner album is out early next year. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

No news on Blu and Exile, so I guess it's a 2011 release as well.

Where'd you get 70k from? But yea, that's not bad. Curren$y is fine doing what he's doing right now. I can see Wiz doing really well in the future (Especially in a post prop 19 California :lol ) and he was smart about building a loyal base before going completely major.

That explains why J had a line about how Hammer lost all his money on a GOOD Friday track :lol

And Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused
I lost thirty mil, so I spent another thirty
'Cause unlike Hammer, thirty million can't hurt me.


Truth hurts, Hammer?

saw someone throw that number out on SOHH, assumed it was digital+physical because the physical copies didn't do well.

I'm surprised GAF hasn't given this guy any love.

Perhaps one of the most slept-on, under-rated cats in hip-hop. Anyone looking for something new, fresh, unique -- Sans the vulgarity and constant use of the 'N' word, give this shit a spin. Certified dopeness.

Did anyone else see the MTV Made episode with Homeboy Sandman? I did. I tried to look up the kid on it afterward. Couldn't find anything.

Just wanted to say that:

bob-vs-bobby-ray.jpg


is a great mixtape. It's a shame his debut album was a bit ... too poppy.

Edit: WanderingWind is right. Add-2 is the shit. I've been bumping his mixtape for far much longer than I thought I would. :lol
