Hey, I'm new. I registered a while ago, but I think this is my first post.
Musical Tastes
1. Historically, beast coast, but now I don't commit.
2. Is high-pitched-soul-sample-rap a subgenre? If yes, that's it. If not, I don't really have one.
3. In no particular order: Biggie, Ghostface, Nas, LL Cool J, Jay-Z. Boring, I know. It's probably not entirely accurate anymore, but that's my default list from my youth.
4. That changes frequently. Right now, in no particular order: Transit, The Lawrence Arms, Tinashe, Spraynard, Texas Is The Reason.
5. AOTY 2014: YG-May Krazy Life, AOTY 2015: J. Cole - Forest Hills Drive or Fashawn - The Ecology.
6. The last Hip Hop album (unless you insist on calling him a singer) I listened to is Fetty Wap's album.
7. I've always liked Ja Rule. I don't really care what backpackers think though, a hot song is a hot song. As for the second question, Canibus always put me to sleep before I could really listen to anything he released.
8. Let's make this easy and pick Kanye: 1. Late Registration, 2. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, 3. College Dropout, 4. Graduation, 5. Yeezus, 6. 808s & Heartbreak.
GAF-Hop Discusses
1. I really like the diversity. When I was a teenager, distribution tools and promotional platforms were more limited, which meant only a certain type of artist was really successful (not saying the others weren't around if you looked for them). That has changed and I think that is a good thing. What I don't like is that, in some cases, the quality of "songwriting" (with that I don't mean the verses) and production, has gone down a bit.
2. Ghostface, because of his consistency. I also really like GZA and Inspectah Deck. But in the end I like them all.
3. Jay-Z (although Illmatic is better than any Jay Z album), Biggie, Young Thug
4. YG's next album.
5. Fresh Prince, Eminem (I guess).
6. Like groceries?
7. Both, with balsamico dressing.
8. No. I think most of his music has been horrible since the Eminem Show, and I wasn't a big fan at that time either. Not saying he's a bad rapper.
9. Right now, Lorde's probably my favorite. Finest? Now that you ask I realize that I only know how most current pop artists sound, not look.
10. It was all good just a week ago.
By the way, is there a thread to introduce yourself?
