I still like Diamond D. His last album from last year wasn't too bad.

<soundbombing ii>

this has a great eminem song on it

"A brainiac, with a cranium packed, full of more uranium
Than a maniac Saudi Arabian"

and especially the delivery of

"Give me eleven Excedrin my head'll spin
Medicine'll get me revvin like a 747 jet engine"

are just dope

is my favorite line

2/10. Weak bait.

No bait. I have no idea where people stand on this track. Shit made my ears bleed though.

Hmmm

I completely forgot about Robb Bank$ new album, and I think it's solid. I just forgot about it

Em's track on here always makes me wonder: Where would his career be now had he signed to Rawkus or Duckdown instead of Aftermath? Would he have been the mythical albino lyrical miracle to never leave the underground? An Internet legend never to see mainstream success?

Damn this sounds fire as hell just from reading it.

Speaking of label-signing what if's

Percy Miller says he almost got Em, Nas, and Tip on No Limit

I'm inclined to call Duck Tales but...

Think of all the RP912 posts we could have had...


Also, Lol at this

History shows that Em, Tip and Nas all went on to do great things on their own, but imagine what would’ve happened if they signed with Master P.

Young Thug is a terrible rapper a lot of people on the internet pretend to like to they can fit in with other people who don't even really fuck with him like that.

I was gonna go in on Pharrell's music IQ getting annihilated...but tbh does that shit even matter. Most of my favorite producers can't read music or write it. But at least my faves wouldn't pretend like they know how to read music and then take that L like Skateboard P.

Yeah that makes him look bad plus the way the lawyer tied in his XXL magazine interview into the questions about being able to tell the difference between chord progressions and the Marvin Gaye inspirations. It was evident he had no legal standing in the case.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Ease up PD, he just wasn't comfortable.

You can't ask a man to explain chord progressions and time signatures if he ain't comfortable.

 

[Syntsui]

Displaying ignorance on this matter should be the only way to help him out in this case, couldn't this be on purpose?

 

[DominoKid]

Nah i just think P really dont know shit about chords. Thsts probably where Chad helped the most.

 

[Storm Chamber]

This is the most plausible scenario.

Everybody should be able to read sheet music.

damn that Pharrell deposition is cringeworthy. I didn't expect anything more really.

Listening to Documentary 2 and I'm surprised Game hasn't reduced his name dropping. I mean I kind of understand him doing that in Doc1 but why keep doing that now? FFS its really annoying.

I heard Rob Markman (decent music journalist from mtv) argue now everyone name drops so holding it against Game is unfair; plus Game created a trend and deserves credit.

In reality Game name drops significantly more than any rapper you can think of, to the point it takes my attention away from the actual music. There's a difference between using a name reference as a minor reference and doing what Game does lol.

 

[MoodyFog]

So I've been sleeping this Dave East guy it seems, his tape is good

Maybe GOOD Music Artist CyHi Da Prince freestylin on Sway

He's a glorified groupie breh. Those features aren't gonna pay for themselves

man that was painful to watch

 

[enzo_gt]

Doesn't deserve a full review but Doc 2.5 is better than Doc 2. Overall still relatively forgettable, but songs like Crenshaw and Gang Bang Anyway shit on anything on Doc 2. The production is a pretty big step up from the jump, at least it seems like that initially, but is more familiar than you'd like most of the time. Mostly struggle features all around besides those in the songs mentioned above (even Jay Rock brought it), but most noticeably the Nas and Quik features are super underwhelming. The beat on the Quik song was straight though, just various levels of cheese and boring material layered atop it.

Like Father Like Son 2 isn't bad.. but it shouldn't have had a sequel and is nowhere as good as the original.

 

[AJLma]

Ya'll really believe Pharrell doesn't know basic music theory? He holds back laughter when the lawyer asks him if he can read musical notes.

He's doing exactly what he's supposed to do at a bullshit deposition, which is give them as little as possible. Nothing awkward or embarrassing about this at all.

 

[Syph Medwes]

So what does the definitive Documentary 2.1 actually look like
Combined but filtered down to ~12 songs

Don't Trip
Bitch You Ain't Shit
The Documentary 2
100
Just Another Day
LA

Crenshaw/80s
Gang Bang Anyway
The Ghetto
From Adam
Quiks Groove
Like Father Like Son 2

Still wouldn't recommend this combined album to anyone, though.

Kind of surprised at the responses, really.

It's like...do yall really think Birdman has no idea about/nothing to do with the troubles of his label just because he said so on camera?

But Pharrell is a nice guy, he could never lie like Birdman

 

[Syntsui]

Some of you guys are gullible as fuck. Pharrell doesn't know shit about music, 50 Cent is as broke as a hobo, Birdman has no clue about what caused the Lil Wayne's situation. Keep believing official bullshit spit to fit their interests.

One of these things is not like the others.

 

[Trey]

Game the Ditto of the rap game, but Docu 2 is still a fun product. All I'm taking off the otherwise forgettable 2.5 is the Nas joint, in which you have to discern whose verse is whose.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I mean it's fully believable that Pharell doesn't know music theory like that.

It's not like going through rigorous classical training is prerequisite for being a great hip-hop/hip-pop producer.
