Sorry to double post but this post just had me wondering, does anyone here feel like the region that they are from prevents them from enjoying music from other places? Personally i'm from London England and like all kinds of American hip hop although southern is my main preference but I dunno. Maybe if I was geographically attached to somewhere in USA i'd feel differently about the matter.

It's a bit broader. I think it has more to do with the kinda rap you were "raised" on. Plenty of dudes on the west who were raised on NYC boom bap, and prefer it to this day etc etc.

As long as it's in English then I can enjoy it. I've heard some other rap in different languages and besides the beats it kind of hard to appreciate something you can't even understand.

I'd say not really, in regards to my personal taste. But definitely in regards to what sort of hip-hop you'll hear on the radio. Living in GA for over 10 years now, they play like the same 5 guys all the time and that's it.

Yeah that seems fair. Don't think i'm very comfortable with the idea of people feeling excluded from some stuff but I can appreciate that certain things will only appeal to some people from the region itself like say Hyphy for the Bay or Bounce for New Orleans.

DZA is a pretty great beat picker so I was hoping for original compositions on this. Hollywood Smoke Hogan just reminded me that ASAP Rocky needs to stop fucking around with pulling songs from free mixtapes and just drop the goddamn Pretty Flacko Remix with Waka Flocka Flame already. That Curren$y/Alchemist should be nice, i've actually been really looking forward to that Spitta and Harry Fraud project that he announced recently though as I think Curren$y's style is going to match Fraud's beats so well.

?? With the praise of Gucci Mane and Waka in this thread, you want to ask "Wtf does this even mean" like Cyhi is a rapper who doesn't make sense like the 2 rappers I just mentioned


Like I said you got to have been or be from the ATL to know what this song is mostly talking about.

BTW-

CDC- Centers for Disease and Prevention
1600 Clifton Road Northeast Atlanta, GA

Just getting some straightening. I'm not salty though its all good, just like in most hip-hop circles those with a difference of opinion are called "haters"
Click to expand...

I didn't call you a hater, I called you seem salty because you're defending a mediocre song against criticism, because it's about and I guess you're from ATL.

As if posting a link to the CDC will have light bulbs flashing over people's heads. Oooooh that's what he meant.

Relax and chill. Twinkle twinkle.

I respect Peter Rosenberg's opinions nearly all the time, dude is a hip hop head fighting the good fight on mainstream radio. BUT I just heard this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckvqejMlkik&feature=player_embedded#!

Ok, there's no doubt Ross is a consistent rapper who dropped the blueprint for modern mainstream hip hop with Teflon Don. Maybe he's the best mainstream rapper - in fact I'll go so far as to say he is. But to label him the best rapper period right now...c'mon son.

But the main offense: the Ghostface comparison. No, we're not going there son.

Yo what the fuck Rosenberg. I have mad respect for Rosenberg too, but since when did he start giving accolades that high to rappers who aren't from NYC. Sounds like dude just heard Teflon Don or something.

Ross Era.. SMH. No doubt he's one of the hottest out, if not the hottest, but c'mon son.

The link to CDC is educating those who don't know, in case we see a post saying "CDC? man Cyhi be making up shizzzz" . thats all. Hater was me generally speaking not directed to you.

What releases are considered definitive Jay Electronica? I hate wading through a bunch of stuff to try and get into artists.

Unfortunately nothing is definitive with Jay Elec-yarmulke but checking out his What The Fuck Is A Jay Electronica release probably won't hurt. Also Victory because that has both Exhibits B and C on.

Thanks I'll go find it.


-Titty boi is on Mercy? Big Sean was enough for me to turn my hype from 11 to 10. Still hope it's ridiculous.

Pusha T better be heads and shoulders above every head on that track, lyrically. Son's reputation is on the line right now.

For some reason I read this as Hit Squad and was excited as fuck thinking we were getting a mix full of EPMD, redman, das efx, keith murray, and k-solo (lol).
When I reread it I cried a little inside.


speaking of, I just read that blackout 3 is supposed to be coming out this year. I fucking hope so.
