Which is funny because that song is almost all Gunplay and Kendrick's verses. Meek Mill coming in third, a bit back.

Well that was certainly..... something.
Yep. Thought that too. Seems like they just wanted a posse cut on the album, and put that ahead of making a good song.
It seems like he's been working with just about everyone lately even though he has yet to announce anything.

Tell me about it. He was in with most of Odd Future too recently:
and then Earl went in for some separate solo sessions.
Worth noting that Chad Hugo is in there producing too, so they will actually be Neptunes beats.
I'd love them two to drop another Clones-esque compilation.
I agree with this.
Mayhem Lauren's joint drops tomorrow.
Can't agree with that

you ever watched Code Guess? This is sort of like it.
Yea, Stalley bores the shit outta me. I agree with Toku, they need to use Gunplay more, I still bump Bogota Rich. Jump Out is fucking amazing.
Edit: Also how much better would the MMG album be without Stalley, I've seriously grown to hate the guy.
How many people have listened on Self Made 2? Haven't seen much talk about it...

I haven't heard it yet but MMG kind of bores me these days aside from Gunplay obviously.
Meek Mill has fun songs and Rick Ross has been improving but I feel burnt out on it. As expected Power Circle is the Gunplay and Kendrick song.

2 Chainz makes that song.
And also I know Chris Brown would win but honestly I would love to see him get his ass beat by somebody...anybody.

Chris Brown would win against a chair or a chick with a giant forehead giving him an easy target. Anyone else is whooping on him.
Doesn't drake have several inches and quite a bit of weight on him? Clearly he'd be the one doing the hair pulling and scratching while chris brown did the pinching and crying.

ahahahahahaha holy shit how have I not seen this before? It's like when one of those disney shows have a "fight scene" with some 13 year old kid doing karate chops and shit.
Id put my money on c breezy in a fight honestly, and thats not just cause im a huge hater of drizzy drake. Judging from their behavior i'd have to. Say what you will about c breezy being a puss or whatever for hitting rihanna, but he seems significantly more physically aggressive than Drake ever has, and that includes his cousins and crew (whom i recall running up on frank). In fact how the whole fight went down tells the tale of the tape. C breezy went right up there and got in drake's panties and the guy sicced his entourage on chris. that tells you all you need to know about who would be the aggressor in a fight. Size minutiae tend to matter less in a fight between two unskilled people anyway, ill throw my money down on the guy with the willingness to hurt in a contest between non-athletes.
That's hilarious.
I'm sorry, but Kendrick is on another level. Gunplay comes close, everyone else is meh.
Hey bros. I know this question might be out there and random as shit but I'm going to have some balls and admit it. I haven't really dived deep into rap. Granted growing up under my Mom Dukes roof. I was beatin' in the head with nothing but Gospel music. My Mom (Black) is an hardcore fundamental Christian. My Pops (white and Puerto Rican) was more into the hip hop, latino music. My parents were seperate growing up. So anything not Gospel music my Mom kept out her house. I'm 24 and recently now that I have been of age and made choices for myself and totally eliminated all that religious nonsense.
I want to get into some hip hop. The real meat of hip hop. Not the modern mainstream. Granted I got into this type of hip hop because I was surrounded by it through the peeps I hang with. So I'm familiar with mainstream shit like Drake (my avatar), Kanye, Jay-Z, B.o.B., Lil Wayne, Big K.R.I.T. and I recently picked up some serious hip hop legends like Biggie Smalls first album and Big Pun first album. I've been nodding to both of their albums for a minute now.
Listening to 808s & Heartbreak right now. I'm really liking this album by him.
All in all. I wanted to know if you guys can give me some recommendations for underground or past underground hip hop artists work that was on some beast mode and not some of the weak sauce shit that happens when these hip hop artists go mainstream.
Any help would be appreciated. Trying to be diverse as possible. I like all genres. Be country, hip hop, pop, R&B, jazz, songwriter, alternative, classic rock, etc.
I love music.
Thanks, homies.

The anime series? No, but I remember wanting to check it out when I first heard of it.
Is it good? How is it similar?
On a related note I'm watching The Tatami Galaxy for the first time and I'm floored at how beautiful the art in each episode is.
It
Illmatic by Nas, and Liquid Swords by GZA. Both are among the best hip hop albums ever.
Breh, even I can't make fun of a dude that has admitted his hip hop virginity. Lose the drake and cop this knowledge. Forget the underground, you still havent touched the mainstream greats
Good luck, and i hope you realize the error of your YMCMB sinful ways.

This is a damn good starter list
I actually think dude would take more readily to the naughties underground hits like Blu & Exile, Madvillain/DOOM, Atmosphere, Nujabes, Mos Def/Talib type shit way faster, but it seems like he wants to know the essence of hip hop, so I figured id keep it to a regional sampler and throw in my personal favorite (liquid swords).
I actually found Liquid Swords easier to get into than 36 chambers. The atmosphere is just so thick, and it brings the whole album together.
Thats usually the steps I take to introduce people to hip hop. Here are the classics, tell me which ones you like and I'll have more for you. I probably would throw in Tribe Called Quest as well to get them a taste of that area of rap.
In fact imma gonna do that right now.
ecurbj
Tribe Called Quest : Low End Theory
36 chambers is as close to being "mainstream" as early wu can be. It's just a fun album all the way through. Liquid swords is a headphones late night getting drunk experience. You need to be engrossed in liquid swords, but 36 can just be in the background.
Liquid Swords was my first full hip hop album i listened to and it is still my favorite. Its just got the best atmosphere, the lyrics, the thematic elements. Its so good, so cohesive. I still find new parts to digest and enjoy even after having listened so many times.
really there was no way the GZA could have ever topped or honestly made an album almost as good because its just so well done.
EDIT YES, IM AN IDIOT DOWNLOAD THIS IMMEDIATELY ECURBJ
