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?

As the resident Em stan, gotta say this is a good list
Also major daps for putting Deja Vu first, too often a slept on song. No Apologies is definitely up there as well.

Would also add Stay Wide Awake, Syllables, and Difficult

The Lucky Moose is the man for listing Fresh Prince as the most underrated emcee

his comedic storytelling is only rivaled by Slick Rick the Ruler AKA MC Ricky D

Damn it you're right. I was so sure. I guess it's Fashawn then. I do think it's not nearly as good as Boy Meets World, but it kind of hit me at the right moment. That's just me though, I'm not trying to convince anyone it's the actual AOTY. I also really liked Oddisee's album and Fetty Wap's album. Also, I missed a lot of albums this year.

I think so, or he is/was at least one of the best in that regard. I think his word pool was always interesting. He's not the greatest, but he was always solid and he had moments of greatness, which is what a lot of people forget (or don't know) imo.

Maybe bc I've never heard any of these songs before - but SS2 sounds like a masterpiece to me.

Feel like its hitting way harder than 1.

Track 19, damn.

Exact, I'm fucking impressed. Maybe because I was expecting a bunch of B Tier throwaway junk. I thought "there's no way he will release something good this late, specially after Barter 6 and SS".

Then I hit play...

Yeah I don't know about the Fashawn man, you seem chill though, if you ever want a personalized list of recs from this year I could probably help you out. Otherwise I'm still doing the rapups for some reason, links are in the OP, and although he's a senile fuck ThaBiz is always listening to some new cool shit mostly.

Gold Slugs is a great tune. Very catchy.

But this Slime Season 2 is the truth. Absolute fire!!

Young Thug 2015 (as it stands, only heard SS2 once so far)

1. Barter 6 (I'm more familiar with it)
2. Slime Season 2
3. Slime Season (I expected a lot more from this. Not so many bangers especially considering the amount of tracks on it).

Slime Season 2 is kind of a slog. Verses can be the make/break for Thugger songs and there's not much memorable stuff on here in general. Don't Know is probably the closest thing. I was vibing to the start of the album but then it sort of became a bit droning. Dunno where I'd rank it besides both Slime Seasons fall far below Barter 6.

Big Boi is pretty unnecessary on Big Grams. Expected as much since he's always been super limited in terms of delivery, but the project is kind of meh-to-okay? Some sweet clips of production and hooks/singing here and there but not much that sticks something serious.
