The Story of 'Fuck Tha Police', a Noisey minidoc. Got interviews with Yella, Cube, gangbangers that new the members, cops from the NWA era etc. Gives a great perspective on how bad it really was.

It's sort of an 'equal but opposite' backlash. MGS4 was hyped as second coming, turned out to be 2/3rds cutscene. MGSV was hyped as second coming, turned out to be 2/3rds gameplay. People raging on it either way, from different camps. As a pure game, on gameplay alone, MGSV is way better than MGS4 in every way and has like 60+ hours of gameplay rather than 10.
Anyway. This thread is awesome. Gonna jump on some stuff eg Toro Y Moi.

Yes. It's great.
Pretty sad tbh. Macklemore brought them all in for a reason, to try and get more "cred". Jigga, kendrick, ross, etc have all worked with veterans in the industry and have given them countless shout outs, among other things. I mean, they don't have to owe you anything... he's just happy he got that check.
Nice, I'll check this out. I still bump some tracks from Blue Dreams and Lean 2.
I'm a huge MGS fan, but, man, I realized how stuff like this really doesn't work for me anymore and is legit embarassing:

Rolled my eyes hard.
Still looking forward to playing it in a few weeks when I finally have the time.
lmao. Honestly, it's surprisingly light on that type of weirdness overall. And Quiet is actually a decent character past that and one other goofy scene I've seen.

I respect him as a legend but this is fuckboy shit. Hov had Biz Markie on Girls Girls Girls. Hov brought out Kane at the Barclay's. Kendrick has MC Eiht on GKMC and has done tracks with E 40. I agree legends don't often get the respect they deserve but don't throw your people under the bush because they didn't give you a handout.
I give Macklemore props but let's be real. He wasn't sitting around one day and then said hey, I want to do a record with Caz. This feels like him once again reaching for credibility, or pre-emptively defending himself from criticism by trotting out a legend. How can he be accused of appropriation when he's rocking with the creators of the genre, basically. I'm not mad - hell I blame our pathetic society more. IE those who sit around looking for something to be triggered or offended by, those who don't know what "appropriation" means, folks who write asinine think pieces on Why You Should Be Offended By This, people who act like a 16 year old actress' opinions on racial issues are deep insightful shit, etc. Caclemore is acting like a young quarterback who has been sacked too many times. He's panicking and trying to avoid the next hit. But that makes things worse.
He'll never get respect or props from black people so he should just say fuck it and do his own thing. And when he wins that Grammy over Kendrick again he should say thank you and sit the fuck down.

Tried to tell you breh. Everyone involved just looks silly.

Been on a No Limit kick...I'm going to start posting reviews of albums from the discography starting with Master P's debut album "Get Away Clean".
As someone who's never really delved into No Limit, this interests me

Folks like to clown because of the lack of quality control in the late 90s, but No Limit had some solid albums in the mid 90s.
Doesn't seem like that big of a stretch but it is.
Trust me...the hatred towards the label is undeserved when P was more loyal to his artists than any other exec in music. Plus there were some hidden gems that folks need to peep out of the catalog. Dudes were more than no named rappers with a good production crew.
Indeed. P took advantage of the game in the 90s by getting that god tier percentage deal from Priority, selling his albums for cheap while folks were selling double disc albums for almost 30 bucks, and had a word of mouth approach in order to save funding on promotion. Dude was a genius.
maybe..but seems like something is happening soon
Shameful
Smh...Kendrick...ABANDONED SHIP!

All that needs to be said. Dudes gonna have the nerve to whine when this shit bricks too.
This is fucking pathetic, how come no one in the industry call this guy out? He is destroying his artists' chance to even have a career.
Dope!

Must have gone to the Dame Dash School of Business.
Smh...I'm just in awe at the fact that TDE are so obtuse towards their management, it's not even funny. Imagine Lil wayne dropping "The Block is Hot" single, only to find out that Baby was like "naw playbowy...we dropping Turk next week and we'll have a voting contest on The Box of when you are going to be dropping your solo album".
This fucking management man...
This fucking management man...
Holy fuck. Dangeroo Kipawoo gonna announce a TDE Patreon soon.
That is what happened at cash money.

I'd love to see Ab-Soul's album fail on Kickstarter
Not in the beginning during the late 90s though. Around that time the Hot Boys were ultra hot. We all know by now that Baby will throw your shit in the bushes with the quickness.
1,000 tier=
Ab Soul will battle rap bidders on the intro of his upcoming album.
I am more respected it's obvious.

At this point I wouldn't be stunned if 90059 sells <12k first week. These Days did 14k first week without a decent single; he at least had a fanbase that he fed well a couple years ago.
Meanwhile Kendrick got the spotlight tonight on Colbert and might also drop a video (Wesley's Theory, w/Ice Cube and George Clinton according to reports). That will be the second video Kendrick has dropped during Jay Rock's "launch window." Pathetic management.
