Hmmm. So I was thinking about CRS's idea, and a few others came into my head, and I'm thinking of getting a domain name and just messing around with some stuff. Anyone got any suggestions?

My initial thought was hiphopessentials.com, but it's taken. I could go with .net or something, but I thought I'd throw it out and see if anyone else has ideas.

EDIT: musthavehiphop.com is available. I quite like that.

How about hiphopchain.com and we can connect the albums with chains?

Taken :(.

Going to grab musthavehiphop.com now, and can grab some more later.

What about like, a system that has the top 50 albums, and people can choose to upvote an album ahead of the one above it, or keep it the same. Then clicking on the album or something would provide a bunch of info, and could like chain off from there somehow?

What's the quality like on the LP's? I was a little disappointed by the CD's, but if the records are good I'd probably pick some up.

Dunno yet. Have to go back to work right now. Will give them a thorough listen later tonight/tomorrow. Don't have an a great record player though.

I think there should be two separate uses of the site. The first can be nothing but information and the other can be the voting/rating of the albums.

If there could be an interactive "hip-hop tree", that would be awesome.

I have this question, what album would you consider the root of hip-hop? You could only choose one.

I meant more along the lines of the packaging and case and stuff, I mean, shit I don't even own a record player.

The way I'm thinking would kind of merge the two. A hip hop tree might be hard to do, if only because working all that information out would be hard as hell.

I couldn't really answer the root of hip hop, I don't know nearly enough on the subject, so I'll just go with Finally Famous.

This is fucking dope. Yeezy on fire. Now where is that new New God Flow track?

Lupe Fiasco - Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]

The video made me like the song more. I'm now really hyped for Food & Liquor II. Fuck yall that are hating. Coolest nigga what! Hustler for life!
Agree that the video made me like it more, but I'm still not hyped for F&L2. I can't put faith in Lupe again. Also he and Chief Keef are the same person now.

I still don't like the sample. When the sample is so recognizable, it kind of kills the effect for me. Just feels like a freestyle. Lupe definitely went in though.

Fuck that noise, get Clams back on the boards A$AP.

Cartoon and Cereal is a damn good song. I must say. Weird Kendrick is the shit.
i love that one as got used to it. Kendrick got hooks i tell you that.
Gunplay is pretty damn good on that track too.
Cosigning all of this. It's grown on me, and I definitely think Kendricks ability to make hooks will take him further than others.

GAF, where to start with Gunplay? What's his best project? (sure it's been answered a hundred times, but y'all have a hard on for dude so I'm guessing y'all won't mind answering again)

Ace, you ever do a Ross or Wu mix?

Also, how hard is it to cut parts out of songs? I'm trying to figure out Audacity in order to cut out the talking parts of Rich Boy's Get that Paper track...but I think I'm using the wrong shit.
