I'll make up for the above with some actual good music; disclaimer, mixtape dump incoming:

You can call Shabazz Palaces a lot of things, but I don't think you could call it boring. The production alone is very, dynamic. Boring is your biggest criticism? Kinda funny coming from GAF-Hops biggest Atmosphere stan...

Which is an understandable criticism. SP is on that artsy new age experimental rap shit, not for everyone. I just don't think calling production like this (or this, boring, isn't a sincere arguement. It's dynamic, even when you look at it objectively, and dynamic by definition is the very opposite of boring/tedious. These beats go places and seldom end where they began.
blargh idk why I'm responding like this. Siddx comments don't usually urk me anymore.
OT: beach house leak! fucking gooooood
and on the shabazz tip, i dig the dude. his rapping is kind of ehhh, but i can definitely dig his preference when it comes to production. he can do some ill stuff you usually only see in other genres. bringing that mentality to rap i hope will have some positive implications.

Wow, I'm just now seeing cole too. Guess he blends in just like his album.. jokes jokes.
Just listened to the Public Enemy album...not sure what I think of it. This might be way too old-school for my tastes. I'll listen to it some more later.
I wasn't able to make my speakers have the volume I usually have it at today so i'm hoping there are aspects of the production I simply didn't get to enjoy as much (drum, bass, etc.) The lyricism isn't bad at all.
I feel like the production might be better though if I try and listen again so we'll see what happens.
I was a fan of the Beastie Boys so i'd figure i'd enjoy this album. This might be a case of me needing to listen to it again. It's happened to me before with listening to albums so I won't dismiss it just yet.

I'll prob check out Mos Def and Black Star later too.
They aren't really old-school though obviously....
Good choice tho, Black Star's debut is great.
Yeah those and Mobb Deep. I've been trying to catch up with my music recently.
The sad thing is that my iPhone can only hold about 14 gb of data. I love to put music on it to play in my car.
Damn also De La Soul....
On the bright side I already got some great wu-tang stuff, biggie, 2pac, dizzee rascal, deltron 3030, madvillain, and a bunch of other cool stuff.
It is hard to see me but my roommate is the guy in the blue soccer jersey. SXSW was too awesome. We also mosh pit with SchoolBoy Q when he jumped in the crowd performing "Hands on the Wheel." Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy put on the best performances right now in hip hop.

That is a difficult ass choice. I feel like Mos' debut is a classic and a fair bit stronger.
Tough choice. Black on Both Sides for me.
Black on both sides it is then.
Also, I listened to Public Enemy's album again. It's a really good album but considering what i've already listened to it's not an album I think i'll keep on my iPhone to listen to. I'd still reccommend any hip-hop fan or anyone looking to get into the genre to listen to it for its importance and influence but for me there are other albums i'd much rather listen to for leisure.
Still good.

Rumors going around that Diddy and Jay-Z are discussing a buyout deal for Jay Electronica and his album

Why? So Diddy can just shelve the album and force Elec to do some poppy shit that probably won't get released anyway? Elec needs to just setup a fucking bandcamp page, put the album up for 10 dollars and let me buy it already, jesus christ. Hell, I'm sure Stones Throw or Rhymesayers would take him. I'd like to give you 10-15 dollars Jay Electronica. I've been willing to for at least three years now. Why won't you let me?

Mos just works fucking well on Oh No beats.
It's "The Pain" off Dr. No's Ethiopium for anybody wondering btw.
I know a couple days late but I was checking out all the SXSW performances from a couple days ago and I found the winner for the Goobiest Goober Award.
XV Performing with his giant green JanSport backpack.
smh, I know it's part of his gimmick but really.

To be fair, Diddy put out Janelle Monae's album without a generic pop hit. If he's truly trying to take Elec's contract, I'd imagine he just wants to release the album and eat off the 360 deal set up.

French to start name dropping dead russian authors inbetween bars of coke raps.
Do these rumors originate in SOHH and KTT ?
