paying $70 for a nas ablum is the musical equivalent to paying an ugly girl to give you a mediocre blowjob.

Hahaha, holy fuck. We need a GAF-Hop quotes twitter account.

New Lupe track doesnt know what it wants to be. Not feelin' it. and his sanctimonious shit is getting on my nerves now.

I felt that it wanted to be a pop song about how the truncation of lyrics and thought in today's music causes a disassociation between what words mean and how they're used. He chose to grasp for a mainstream audience (the derivative beat and simple hook) while simultaneously criticizing the format and its effect on culture.

 

[Jay Sosa]

You actually select the size... yeah I bought it. Now to dream that I get one of the 500 signed copies.

Oh and if you just want the t-shirt you can order just the tee and the album for $35.

Oh that's nice. I'm rooting for you to get one, you seem to be the only Nas stan left

You mean like Kendrick Lamar did all over Section 80 to much better effect?

 

[kamspy]

SGP stealin his swag from lord infamous.

80% of modern hip hop is swagger jacking Lord Infamous.

 

[K.Jack]

It's grown on me but yea. Domo and Q DZA on his shit for real. Everyone always says Hodgy is OF's most improved but it's Domo IMO. His last tape sucked because of beat selection but he's been killing it. His verse on Rella is some just stupid shit, it's crazy. I love the way he comes in too.

SPLINTER CELL CREEPIN' IN THIS BITCH
YOU COULDN'T FEEL THE STEALTH

For so long, Hodgy was the most consistent, but then from nowhere Domo came up out of the hyperbolic time chamber slapping bitches and droppin sick, aggressive verses.

 

[Lhexh]

Cause you're racist? It's cool, so is Kampsy. We accept him despite his self hate.

No I like vanilla ice

 

[kamspy]

Fuck whitey. My mom use to make fun of me for my Apache CD when I was a kid.

 

[PBY]

fuck you detox for posting that nas set. now i have to buy it lol

 

[cacophony]

i be that pretty muthafucka

 

[Esch]

swag rappers are pause central

 

[Dereck]

I don't know if anyone here listens to Domo Genesis, but he just announced that he's doing an album with The Alchemist.

[siddx]

I appreciate Alc doing tracks with lesser known potentially up and coming artists, but I wish he'd get his talents onto bigger profile albums as well.

 

[K.Jack]

I need that Alc + Bronsonelli album man. I need that shit in my veins.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I just say I wish Domo Genesis picked better beats for his last tape and what happens? He's doing a release with Alchemist. Fuck yes.

 

[MThanded]

I need that Alc + Bronsonelli album man. I need that shit in my veins.

We need the Harry Fraud x Bronson album.

 

[HiResDes]

We need more Bronson.

 

[iavi]

I just say I wish Domo Genesis picked better beats for his last tape and what happens? He's doing a release with Alchemist. Fuck yes.

Alc loves his weed rappers.

Your boy is hyped as hell, though.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Anything with Alch doing the production is golden in my eyes. Dat boy can do no wrong.

 

[enzo_gt]

The first portion of Popular Culture is so good. The rest has it's moments, but isn't solid IMO.

Everything up to The Kick is gold.

 

[wenis]

I just say I wish Domo Genesis picked better beats for his last tape and what happens? He's doing a release with Alchemist. Fuck yes.

Domo is about to come out from behind and fuck the rest of OF over... where the fuck is Hodgy at?

 

[Acid08]

Domo is about to come out from behind and fuck the rest of OF over... where the fuck is Hodgy at?

New MellowHype this year. His group with Domo, MellowHigh, is supposedly releasing a tape and album this year.

 

[Esch]

Alc/ASAP ep would be so piff

 

[IrishNinja]

okay so i just caught Killer Mike's "Reagan"....goddamn. can someone get him in the room with Lupe next time dude wants to get on Fox or something? im usually terrified when non Technique/etc educated dudes talk politics, that shit was refreshing

I always wondered why I couldnt relate to that dude now I know why.

[PhoenixDark]

R.A.P. Music is the album Lupe wishes he was talented enough to make

 

[Esch]

shit.

 

[Novid]

So Lana Del Rey has shot a video. Cool cool.
It's for the single National Anthem. Cool cool.
In the video she plays Jackie O and ASAP Rocky plays JFK. Cool coo........ WTF!

Damn these two about to have some competition:

That's true and cold, that hit my heart directly man.

 

[Esch]

That's true and cold, that hit my heart directly man.

sorry, dont mean to hurt you. our generation in general is fucked by dads not being around because of work, or just not caring, or divorce. Lots of issues there.

haha, it didn't really hurt. I don't really care about my dad at all, but yeah, I agree.

 

[iavi]

I just discovered Who Sampled. Oh god.

 

[IrishNinja]

man, what was that Nas or whatever forum that Soul Creator (think it was) posted that one shot from that had me dying, a buncha stans and this one dude calls them out like "GODDAMN YALL NEED A FUCKIN FATHER FIGURE, SHIT"

I just discovered Who Sampled. Oh god.

sites like this are fascinating, but they're also why Kno and dudes are taking crazy shit these days arent they?

 

[CRS]

I just discovered Who Sampled. Oh god.

:O Have fun. Speaking of Alchemist, go through the list of samples he used. Specifically the work he did on Covert Coup. I think it was PD that posted that Robbin Thompson link. Such a great fucking cut.

 

[CRS]

Nardwuar vs. Asher Roth

Holy shit, Nardwuar vs. Metta World Peace

 

[Esch]

Kno is mad because he didnt clear his samples like a good boy and feels entitled enough to cry about it.

 

[cacophony]

Holy shit, Nardwuar vs. Metta World Peace

Damn it's hard to listen to him, he sounds like he's about to pass out

How come these aren't on Nardwuar's channel?

My brother showed me this earlier today. Dude definitely must be from Chicago, he sounds like Kanye on a few bars...

New Lupe is alright. I need to listen to it a couple more times to know for sure.

 

[IrishNinja]

Kno is mad because he didnt clear his samples like a good boy and feels entitled enough to cry about it.

counter-argument: stop snitchin'

Spoiler

i think he/others just miss that era when shit like that could fly...i wonder if brazen mtherfuckers like puffy ever got clearances

 

[kamspy]

Kno's beats are pretty good, but they lack funk. You can tell a white person made them.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Kno should either learn to re-create samples or stop relying so heavily on them. He's dope as fuck, but if money is such a problem he needs to do something else, b. Or, you know, get shit cleared before using it.

 

[Esch]

Kno's beats are pretty good, but they lack funk. You can tell a white person made them.

I strongly disagree, i find a lot of kno's shit to have that bounce. just not everyone. Think Hard as they Come.

i dont think ive met any white guy that dislikes being white as much as you

 

[The Return of]

hahaha, do you feel this way about A Piece of Strange beats as well? A lot of people here like Oreology as their best project, but I actually kind of prefer the beats on APOS more. Completely different tone on the beats though.

i dont think ive met any white guy that dislikes being white as much as you

He's light skinned.

How is 'Death is Silent', anyways? Never got around to it...
