King was my fav TI tbh.

King was T.I.'s Beats, Rhymes and Life.

Has the last few drops of godly in him, but a lot of filler IMO.

I think all of TI's albums have filler to varying degrees, King was no different. But he had his highest highs on that album.

 

[Blackace]

TI is another artist who doesn't really have a classic like Luda and Busta to me

 

[kamspy]

Mine are mostly on Trap Muzik. Lot of it was personal. Be Easy, Doin' My Job, etc. Plus best bangers in 24s and Rubber Band Man IMO.

24s will be a timeless club and car subwoofer song. Shit bangs on another level.

Someone really needs to try my Mitch Kupchak theory. The lyrics fit too well. Thank the kush for me figuring this out. It just made perfect sense after the Mike D hire. You can relate every bar almost to that of a sad Lakers fan.

Yeah. I like a lot of T.I's output but I don't think I'd ever label any of his albums a classic.

 

[kamspy]

Oh, and to you new breed of Album vs Mixtape fangirls; you really don't consider Section.80, Covert Coup, Control System, HnC and Trap God albums?

Yeah. I like a lot of T.I's output but I don't think I'd ever label any of his albums a classic.

A lot of what they do for me is what I was doing at the time. I wouldn't say they'd be "universal" hip hop classics. Hate to sound corny, but in the streets when those albums came out, it was like a double dose of dope boy illmatic.

 

[Detox]

Very excited to listen to those albums, sounds like they give off similar vibes to Jeezy

TI puts out bangers without a doubt but he puts out some bunk too

My rule is if it feels like an album, its an album.

Is that what you're asking? Similar sounding albums to Jeezy?

 

[Quake1028]

Wait, Eminem hate too? You guys murder my soul daily.

 

[kamspy]

I hope you don't consider this T.I. filler Ace. This is my favorite lane TI use to roll in.

No worries, Recon will be here soon to gargle his nuts.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Yep. Pretty sure most of the mixtapes we get these days have production budgets that rival albums from ten years ago.

Wiz Khalifa ft. The Weeknd "Remember You"

Nah, most ppl like him, or at least his older stuff. I love Kam but he goes full tin-foil hat when Em comes up.

 

[Quake1028]

OK, good. I love Em but even I don't mess with Relapse and only some of Recovery.

[kamspy]

Think he's looking for that detail you get in Jeezy and old T.I. that it's not fake at all. It's stuff you wouldn't notice, but both of them really add some detail in there you wouldn't know unless you'd been there. Of course I'm not talking about the baller shit, just the struggle and making money best way you know how.

Dat photographic trap rap that Jeezy and old T.I. do best.

EDIT: Motivation is a GREAT choice Peterboy. Another one of my favorite T.I. joints. I'm skimming the albums I mentioned now and am having a hard time having filler, but thank's to a recent kush break I'm really enjoying myself!

Get over it not everyone likes the same stuff

I love Em tho

I know. It was a joke.

 

[kamspy]

It's not tin foil if it's true. I've laid it out in a logical way that any reasonable human would force to accept if they accept mathematics. Don't feel like digging up one of the posts though.

 

[Quake1028]

With all the Busta talk lately, how is Genesis? I have that CD for some reason. Don't think I've ever given it a listen. Even worth it?

 

[kamspy]

Spotify a playlist of all Busta's singles and some features and you've got his only great album.

 

[kamspy]

My rule is if it feels like an album, its an album.

HnC is an album. It irks the shit out of me when Ace says Schoolboy has no album! lol

Those Weeknd albums? Well, they were albums. He's not making a debut. A follow up album to a concept triple album.

 

[PBY]

I actually don't really like Busta all that much (I think he raps about NOTHING and lacks charisma), but I really don't think so. Its pretty hard to go through an entire Busta album imho.

Relapse > Recovery.

I have seen your maths with the Wale album

Eh, I just can't get over all the accent stuff he does on Relapse. Maybe I am remembering it to be worse than it was, but damn was I disappointed in that album.

 

[PBY]

^I actually came to love Relapse.

I have seen your maths with the Wale album

The track-by-track guide to getting brain courtesy of Ambition? yeah that was pretty great.

Someone needs to go post that in the Girl Age thread.

 

[MuddyDonut]

Heems is so inconsistent. He's great in a group dynamic but overall his solo shit sucks. He just gets high and puts in 0 effort most times.

How did you feel about Nehru jackets?
Plus how's the sound quality on his new release?

 

[kamspy]

I have seen your maths with the Wale album

That's applied science. I went 3 for 3 with that theory before I got with a new girl kinda steady (though she began as test subject 3).

Also, noticed you said there's no classic Luda. I consider Back for the First Time a true, universal classic. No doubt. Then he went Nas (without going broke and losing the respect of all your peers who aren't stans).

 

[Glass Rebel]

Danny tells better stories, makes superior concept albums and songs, has a more distinct rapping style, a better sense of humor, larger subject variety than Guilty. There is pretty much no area in which he's a better rapper or artist than Danny Brown.

And im not even a stan.

XXX was good, he is pretty funny (I still laugh at I fire up the blunt and it tastes like Gumbo / hit the trees hard like George in the Jungle) just being unique and distinct doesn't make him any more appealing to me. At the end of the day I want to listen to some good songs and Danny more than not gets in the way of my enjoyment. Pac Blood is one of the few songs that I can listen more than a few times because he doesn't sound like a strangled puppy. He can spit some Ghostface or Biggie shit and I still wouldn't consider him better, a rapper's voice is his instrument and Danny's wasn't tuned in years.

Guilty might be basic but he still goes hard every time he gets the chance and gets you pumped up. To me, he just complements the songs perfectly, like the beat was made specifically with him in mind. He just makes fun music that doesn't have to sound complicated. I mean, we can walk technique and storytelling abilities all day but I just don't think that Danny makes any of that sound all that great.

 

[kamspy]

I kinda consider Danny as like a new Redman. Styles aren't exactly the same, but they are similar in enough way for me to make the connection first time I heard him. Danny goes more personal at times. I'd like to think Redman is always Redman though, and all his crazy shit on his albums is just how he lives.

If I could trade lives with any rapper in their prime, it'd probably be Redman. That guy understands how to live.

The track-by-track guide to getting brain courtesy of Ambition? yeah that was pretty great.

I prefer Relapse as well but I've always liked murderous em over my life is terrible em.

I like Chicken and Beer from Luda the best..

Opening track on Back for the First time is one of the best opening tracks ever.

Plus, it had Stick em Up. That wrapped it up for me.

But yeah, Chicken and Beer was his It Was Written.

Listen to the Detroit State of Mind 3 and 4 tapes. There'll be the Danny you can enjoy. He didn't even have his current style back then.

I do wish he would go back to his gutter style more often, but lately I think he's thrown it away.

 

[enzo_gt]

New Wale is nice. Looks like he's trying to find his identity again.

is action bronson tomorrow a sure thing?

Nah. Wale's gonna be a split-personality rapper now, ala BOB. His albums are gonna have that MMG sheen, but his mixtapes are gonna be the less commercial stuff.

just bought Food and Liquor II, haven't heard anything except Bitch Bad which I liked. Not a Lupe fan by any means. Let's see..

This is exactly it. While Jeezy is talking about trapping he doesn't leave out anything and essentially turns it into what motivates him, what makes him passionate about what he does. The highs, the lows, regrets, mistakes are all there and he doesn't bullshit, make excuses or twist his way around them, he keeps it 100 all the time. I'm certain that he realises this and once his music clicks with you, motivation and passion are universal themes that you can apply to your life no matter what you do for a living. I've never had music speak to me like that, the adlibs almost hark back to traditional folk / tribal music where they are just making freeform sounds as part of the main song.

I actually might. First time I heard him was on that track on Jay Stay Paid or Contra with Elzhi and I thought he was just some hypeman having fun :lol
