lol Ghost
lol Outkast
once any one of those artists step up to Pusha T's level i'll show some respect, but so far
*yawn*
Let's be real. Neither of those groups made an album that stands up to HHNF. None.

my Outkast mix proves that Big Boi still makes Outkast musicnews bump
No Quik, no West...and Neptunes too high
Has nothing to do with Pusha T sucking sweaty nuts.

my past 17 year old self is offended.
Cool place tho right? Went there a while back to visit my peoples. Saw Sydney, and checked out the great barrier reef in Cairns. Lots of porn everywhere for some reason.
My brother tricked me into eating koala jerkey there, asshole.
Ah yeah, it's aight. No hip hop culture for the most bit so it's a tad disappointing not having anyone to discuss it with. Expensive as fuck though lol. Sydney's nice, til you go out west
Ditto.

Ya boy has been eating BBQ meat, mac n cheese, and slamming Mike's Hard Lemonade all day. All while thinking of the bullshit I saw in this thread that made me want to call Comcast and cancel my internet to make it stop. Let me kick some knowledge

Raekwon and Ghostface have been rapping about the general same subject matter (stick ups, ballys, fuck boys, ninjas, etc) for decades. But any true hip hop fan, or Wu head, or general stand up dude will tell you they are NOT "one dimensional/note" rappers, and here's why: Raekwon and Ghostface have the most vivid, ridiculous word play and storytelling in hip hop. Sure others may go farther to the left, but no one tells a story quite like these two. There's a reason Quentin Tarantino and other filmmakers love the Wu in general, but especially Ghost n Rae: their stories are crazy, their word play is inspired, and they're funny as hell while also seeming to have credibility to their claims.
If I'm going to listen to coke rap, I want to either hear something new or something done so interestingly that it feels new.

This is a basic hip hop coke/gangsta track. Trading verses of multi-sylable rhyme play with violent imagery that are interchangeable
Ghostface Killah - Shaky Dog

A stick em up tale, something that has been done a billion times. Yet Ghostface's insane imagery separates it from the typical coke rap shit. You not only know what's happening in the story, but get various details that have nothing to do with the robbery/story. Ghost notes the smell of food on the block, how every character looks, their tics and characteristics, what the room looks like, etc. No one does that shit in hip hop better.
This is the difference between Ghost/Rae and Pusha T, who is just a punchline rapper. All he does is remake the same "I'm better/cooler than you" songs over and over, telling us how hard he is. Wake me up when he weaves an interesting story, and manages to do it multiple times over YEARS.

Live From The Underground is pretty good. My one issue are the real simple "repeat title of the track for 4 or 6 bar" hooks Krit often falls back on. Becomes tiring in the 2nd half of the album. Krit's solid, production's solid, and features are solid.

Is it better than Cole World and Radioactive? lol.
But seriously is it better than Return of 4eva?

Krit needs a hook guy..
Better. More banging production, better features, a little less introspection and a little more soul.

nope, Dessa dropped that on her fb, in a recent interview p.o.s. said he was like 98% done while also saying his collab ep with Astronautalis was done. I expected Dessa to drop first, but I guess her album will be a nov/dec release.
anyone heard anything on Chico and the Man? I havent been staying up on all this shit lately
