Got a request, I'm not in the best state of mind right now for various reasons and need some uplifting, stay on your grind, don't give a fuck songs or albums with some ridiculous hooks. Just some shit to get me uplifted out of this mind fuckery going on right now.
Thanks guys.

They are about the same age, you just heard Bun alot sooner.
I think one thing really going against Bun is that he is married to a very vocal wife. Has 2 kids by marriage and with that came grandkids. He is focused on that but at the same time trying to act like he matters in rap. Can't really do both. The rap game moves too fast for you to take a bunch of time out being a family man.
Not a diss to Bun, just the truth. You look around one day and the game has passed you by. All about what is important to you.
I remember when Drake was calling him self Sweet Jones, a nickname Pimp C used. Man people got mad around here. Bun jumped to his defense because of Rap A Lot ties, he lost alot of respect during that incident. I think Drake was seeing it as a tribute, but fans weren't down with that at all.

Slim Thug - Boss Basics
This was right after he signed with the Neptunes but before the retail album dropped. A lot of the material on this tape was meant for the album but leaked too early. IMO, this is Slim Thug's TM101.

Was gonna suggest this too, but I got worried cause I don't remember anyone in GAF-Hop particularly liking that album but that's a 10/10 Em track for me.

Not sure about uplifting.. But DMX's One More Road to Cross was my anthem for grinding
The album did have some standout songs. Too bad the rest of it was shit.
I agree with it being a fantastic Em song.

If you could slap one artist in the face with a sock filled with quarters? Jay-Z motherfucker studied all the classics for Reasonable Doubt and he knows how to make them.

Most significant hip hop album to you (note not best or greatest, just most significant)? Illmatic made me listen to hiphop seriously. Before it I would just listen to whatever was on the charts without really appreciating the music. Made me dig up a lot of classics from the past.
Best thing about hip hop? Lyricism, Story telling, flow and beats when they go crazy and sound ridiculously good or just plain funky and soulful.
Worst thing? Misogynistic and homophobic shit just gets harder to listen to the older I get, and when people with no talent make it big which is then used as ammo by ignorant haters to bring down the whole of hiphop
Shittiest thing you've ever done? Nothing really comes to mind either I'm too much of a nice guy or I just have never perceived my actions as being shitty.

First Hip Hop Album? Not really sure. I was 100% into shitty Slipknot/Linkin Park music in middle school. I vividly remember the night I realized hip hop wasn't complete shit. I was pretending to be asleep in my room at 3am watching MTV music videos. They played Kick, Push by Lupe Fiasco and Do for Love by 2pac. The next day I started looking into Pac's music on Youtube, eventually downloaded one of his albums (don't remember which) and that was probably my first.

Favorite Drink? Coca-Cola. As far as alcohol, been drinking a lot of wine and gin/juice lately. Also enjoy Amaretto/Coke, Bailey's (and similar drinks), and whiskey.
Play any sports? Masturbation?
How was your high school life? Shitty/unremarkable. I spent most of my time at home alone and didn't have a consistent friend group (jumped to another group every year). College is fucking awesome though.
Bad habits? I stay up really, really late for no reason. Too much Vyvanse, caffeine. Regularly have phases where I socially withdraw myself and alienate people.

Most significant hip hop album to you (note not best or greatest, just most significant)? To me personally? Probably Food & Liquor and Man on the Moon because they got me really interested in newer hip hop instead of just sticking to older stuff like I did for a few years. Not going to defend Cudi as a lyricist though.
Best thing about hip hop? So many different subgenres, that there's almost always some rap that I'm in the mood for. Best thing right now? I know the forum's opinion of ASAP Rocky is divided (I love LiveLoveA$AP personally), but I hope that Houston influence spreads a little bit.

Drake sounds like a little boy on that song. Isn't he supposed to be an actor? Why is he so unconvincing? and what is the point in those little segments about finding that girl who's dabbling with people in the underworld or whatever? It's a fucking strip club song! The video doesn't need a goddamn story, it just needs to look something like the uncensored P Poppin video with Ludacris which i can't link because apparently youtube don't play that shit unless you have an account.
Sucha missed opportunity. Someone said something similar: theres no need for a story in this song. This needed to be one of those x-rated videos with 100 strippers n shit. "to be continued" who even cares about that shit?!

Can anyone suggest a good way to organize my music collection? Right now it's all over the place, fucked up file names like "track 01" etc etc. I thought this would be a good thread to ask...
Here is what I'm looking at.
-100 or so CD's
-8 gig ipod mini on it's deathbed
I am using my Droid 2 for all music playing outside of the house now (car, work, exercise) I have plenty of good music on it, but have a ton of stuff like "track 01" or "XCBV" from burned CD's before itunes just looked up the names or from copying music from my ps3.
is there a program that will do the work of identifying and labeling the unlabeled stuff? If not, is there an efficient way to edit the files? I can use Shazaam to identify them I guess.
Should I just burn all of the CD's to my pc, then copy to my phone? Is there a good program for this or just itunes? What is a good bit rate to use?

Dude, awesome video. I love typography videos, and making a Wu-Tang just makes it better. Nice work
I was in a similar situation a few years back, and I ended up just sucking it up and editing everything manually through iTunes, and then highlighting all the songs, and selecting "Convert ID3 Tags" using ID3 version 2.3. It makes all the changes you made in iTunes to the file itself as well. It takes forever, but the OCD part of me felt so good when it was all fixed and super well organized. It was great. But then I just decided to delete everything and start over, but that was mainly because whenever I had my library set to shuffle I was hitting next 9/10 times, but that's besides the point. I'd say do it by hand as I did, less of a chance of something getting royally fucked up.
As far as using an Android phone as a portable player (had a Droid X before my iP4s), I bought an app on the market called "iSyncr" and used that to sync my Droid X with an iTunes playlist. The app did it in a pretty weird way, not actually integrating with iTunes, but it got the job done.
Basically you're just gonna have to bite the bullet and do it manually. There is a free program called MP3Tag that I use sometimes, it indexes Amazon and some other sites to get album art and track info, and you can run albums through that if you know what they are.
Just be careful when you're using it, because if the track listings don't match up when you do it, it'll mess up the tags.
As far as media players go, I like Zune's interface the best but next to nothing works with it. I have an iPod so I'm essentially forced into using iTunes. It's a leaky, slow, piece of shit, but I've learned to work with it.
As far as bitrates go, that mostly depends on your equipment and your ears. For really bass-heavy or complex tracks I prefer 320kbps+, but 95% of the time 256kpbs is ok.
Audiogalaxy is the app I always recommend when people mention smartphones, specifically Android devices. You can stream your entire music collection to your phone and best part is it's free.
On my phone, I use Audiogalaxy for my library/downloads, Spotify for new music, and Last.fm when I don't know what to listen to.

that song is so perfect when you are in that kind of mood
Almost a third of the album got crazy amounts of radio play so I can see how that could have affected people's view of the album.

Age? 33, like jeebus
Where do you live? miami, FL
Where are you from? MIA, but i'm picking up my travels again this year
How'd you end up where you are? mostly grew up here & ATL; graduated college and spent a year out in the midwest, then stayed with an indian chick in the bay area, then wandered back here.
First Hip Hop Album? either House of Pain or Eric B. & Rakim: follow the leader, because of those columbia house cassette deals you could kinda rip off in the day.
Top 5 movies? The Good, the bad & the ugly, Braveheart, Fight Club, The 36th chamber of shaolin (at the moment), either Die Hard or Ghostbusters.
Top 5 Video games? Earthbound, Shenmue 2, Zombies at my Neighbors, Katamari Damacy, and uh...prolly MGS3. can we make it 10? i really wanna put some of the Souls and Yakuza shit up there.
What did you read last? comic: Daredevil, book: Vagabonding, though im sleeping on this dog whisperer one and it shows, the way this little guy is acting.
What did you watch last? Walking Dead, Game of Thrones marathon with my chick. random documentaries on netflix.
Favorite non hip hop album? either MJ or Nujabes, hard to narrow down.
Favorite Drink? [strike[lemonade was a popular drink, and it still is[/s] i mostly fuck with water or beer
Play any sports? Boxing, though i haven't competed since college. I dig soccer but can't get a pickup game going lately.
How was your high school life? all-guy catholic school. i tried making up for shit on the weekends, but i'm not gonna front: there was way more mario kart than pussy.
Bad habits? i'm cheap (especially when im trying to plan a trip, etc), prolly talk too much when im mad drunk/high
Employment? gov't
Hobbies? video games (apparently talking about them online too), comics, music, drinking with friends
If you could slap one artist in the face with a sock filled with quarters? maybe Khaled, but Chris Brown is a pretty good vote too
Why'd you end up on gaf? i was actually all over Kotaku for years (i know...), was shopping around for a new home when it was way past bad over there and really dug some of the gaming side talk.
Other threads you frequent? Jazz-hop, Nagoshi-age, buy/sell thread (some crazy deals up in there!), Adventure Time, random gaming and OT shit
Threads you avoid like the plague? pop gaf, sports gaf, those hot-button ones in OT that you just know are gonna be graveyards when a mod shows up (but ill rubberneck like crazy)
Most significant hip hop album to you (note not best or greatest, just most significant)? 36 chambers, just so many quotables and what was being done both thematically and with this supergroup of varying styles...me and my boys were all over that in the day, i clearly still am
Best thing about hip hop? the ability to move people at parties, or say some really deep shit, or both if you want - it's way more versatile than people allow it to be most times
Worst thing? homophobia's a good one here, i'll add gimmicks/trends and the NFL model of radio dominance where there's more money on the table sometimes but it goes to fewer artists
Shittiest thing you've ever done? i snitched once as a kid with fucked up ideas, never again. dudes forgave me but i kinda didn't.

How'd you end up where you are? mostly grew up here & ATL; graduated college and spent a year out in the midwest, then stayed with an indian chick in the bay area, then wandered back here.
First Hip Hop Album? either House of Pain or Eric B. & Rakim: follow the leader, because of those columbia house cassette deals you could kinda rip off in the day.
Top 5 movies? The Good, the bad & the ugly, Braveheart, Fight Club, The 36th chamber of shaolin (at the moment), either Die Hard or Ghostbusters.
Top 5 Video games? Earthbound, Shenmue 2, Zombies at my Neighbors, Katamari Damacy, and uh...prolly MGS3. can we make it 10? i really wanna put some of the Souls and Yakuza shit up there.
What did you read last? comic: Daredevil, book: Vagabonding, though im sleeping on this dog whisperer one and it shows, the way this little guy is acting.
What did you watch last? Walking Dead, Game of Thrones marathon with my chick. random documentaries on netflix.
Favorite non hip hop album? either MJ or Nujabes, hard to narrow down.
Favorite Drink? [strike[lemonade was a popular drink, and it still is[/s] i mostly fuck with water or beer
Play any sports? Boxing, though i haven't competed since college. I dig soccer but can't get a pickup game going lately.
How was your high school life? all-guy catholic school. i tried making up for shit on the weekends, but i'm not gonna front: there was way more mario kart than pussy.
Bad habits? i'm cheap (especially when im trying to plan a trip, etc), prolly talk too much when im mad drunk/high
Employment? gov't
Hobbies? video games (apparently talking about them online too), comics, music, drinking with friends
If you could slap one artist in the face with a sock filled with quarters? maybe Khaled, but Chris Brown is a pretty good vote too
Why'd you end up on gaf? i was actually all over Kotaku for years (i know...), was shopping around for a new home when it was way past bad over there and really dug some of the gaming side talk.
Other threads you frequent? Jazz-hop, Nagoshi-age, buy/sell thread (some crazy deals up in there!), Adventure Time, random gaming and OT shit
Threads you avoid like the plague? pop gaf, sports gaf, those hot-button ones in OT that you just know are gonna be graveyards when a mod shows up (but ill rubberneck like crazy)
Most significant hip hop album to you (note not best or greatest, just most significant)? 36 chambers, just so many quotables and what was being done both thematically and with this supergroup of varying styles...me and my boys were all over that in the day, i clearly still am
Best thing about hip hop? the ability to move people at parties, or say some really deep shit, or both if you want - it's way more versatile than people allow it to be most times
Worst thing? homophobia's a good one here, i'll add gimmicks/trends and the NFL model of radio dominance where there's more money on the table sometimes but it goes to fewer artists
Shittiest thing you've ever done? i snitched once as a kid with fucked up ideas, never again. dudes forgave me but i kinda didn't.

What happened to these type of music videos? Now every fucking thing is about art, purple, and fucking techno beats with rappers trying to be political. It really feels like everyone is just trying to be someone or something they aren't. /end rant

The music videos that I really wish would come back are Busta's crazy ones.
