Yeah, the flights to South America do seem expensive. Probably going to be a country in south-east Asia.
my brehs had a blast in istanbul...
This bangs but it's kinda disappointing after SDS and his song with Soul. Those were venturing in a real west coast underground sound. It's still crazy how much this dude improved in just two years.
Also are we sure this isn't a reference track for an ASAP Rocky song? LOL.
Been going almost every year to visit family so I'm sick of it. Need somewhere different.

Titus Andronicus is performing Monday night at the Stone Fox, if you're still in town. Edley's BBQ, Burger Up, and The Tin Angel are some of my favorite eateries. Also, Mike's or Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams for the best cream around.
thanks good info

All of them if you're digging his style, but I still think Deeper Than Rap is his "best." I don't really care for his latest at all but my good friend who is more of a miami boy than me loves it to death.
Flying Lotus needs to produce for more people outside of Cali. Or people outside of Cali should hit up FlyLo more. Whichever gives me more FlyLo.

You don't like Teflon Don?
DTR is a nice starting point but remember, nearly all of the "for the ladies" tracks are trash. To me the best Ross is the smooth mafioso shit over lush production (Rich Off Cocaine, Amsterdam). DTR has many tracks like that.

No, I definitely like TFD but I remember digging a DTR a lot more. I remember spending a lot of time with Deeper Than Rap.

Forreal. Dude gets on some positive/introspective tip for a few tracks. It really threw me off.

Quoted for truthness.
Where the hell is Malice? Isnt he a born again christian and against rap or something?
Congrats to Ace. Really hope it works out for you man.
IDK when Clipse left Jive after Hell Hath No Fury, they rushed (in comparison to HHNF) to put out Til The Casket Drops and it didn't meet the same critical acclaim. Honestly I don't understand why they didn't have Pharrell do all the production after HHNF was the amazing album it was. He always gives Clipse his best stuff. Then after that I think Ye talked to Pusha and Pusha left to do his solo and left Malice behind and Malice found God at the same time and left the game, but keeps saying he will come back. Apparently he has a tape coming out in June.
What's crazier is Pusha has been signed to GOOD for three years. I wonder how he will do in numbers. I think his biggest problem is he can't carry a song, even if he can kill a verse. His verse on Don't Like is the most memorable/quotable, his verse on Mercy was crazy and he looked super lyrical next to everyone else, his verses on New God Flow were two of his best ever, Trouble on My Mind was a really good song, Millions is a great song and IMO didn't even need Ross, it's the first Pusha only song I would've sat through... Numbers on the Boards is missing SOMETHING.
Ye did the best job he could to set Pusha up to be a success and taking an old star and making him new again but if Pusha does Meek Mill numbers, I'd consider that a flop, considering he had 3 years to build himself. Pusha is an amazing rapper with a cool demeanor, but he's a coke rapper, and every rapper is a coke rapper now.
edit - oh god here is a horrible no malice song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ0K4NAMm2s
Pusha's solo career would be a lot more interesting if it was Pusha, Ye, and Pharrell... Ye and Pharrell collabing would blow minds and Pusha is a perfect medium that wouldn't make it an overload of either style.

Pusha has the same problem Talib and Inspectah Deck has. PheonixPause touched on this a while ago, they shine on verses but have a hard time holding a song down by themselves. Im a Kweli fan and even I can see it.
Thats why Pusha was so good on The Clipse albums. Not very hopeful for a solo album all by himself. He needs someone else on his songs to break the track up. Even if its one verse on, one verse off I think it would benefit him hugely.

To me Teflon Don is a near perfect mainstream rap album; the only bad track is the horrible Diddy song. It really defined that trap sound of the time (and still today to an extent) with a mixture of smooth shit you don't hear much anymore, like that 90s esque single with Ne-O.
Tears of Joy is one of the best "I made it" tracks in years IMO
(no) malice was gonna be signed with push, but wanted to find god, incidentally he is christian rap, but it's probably the best christian rap ever
I like all the clipse albums, even the last one.
ross has no classic albums. he did improve drastically over the course of his career, but generally he is good for to one or two bangers and some well polished filler

Shit was so good even Wayne dropped a good verse on it. Best hiphop fusion album, far better than Best of Both Worlds etc.
Pusha is a dumbass for shooting a video to Numbers On The Boards and if it's his single, making it his single.
That song is going nowhere fam, you need all the broad appeal you can get. Pump out those bangers, folks aren't tryna hear that range. Just do the same dopeboy rap everyone primarily knows you for.

I agree, not on the Wayne part, but it was a great album nonetheless. Not a classic in my opinion though.
Enzo nails it. Is it the single though? I thought it was just the street single or whatever. Its a great song, but not the kind of single that will get the kind of people who actually buy albums to pay for your shit.
Whatever it is, the budget money for the video should've gone elsewhere.
Pusha's solo output the last year is diverse and impressive, honestly. Exodus, Blocka, Millions, Numbers on the Board all sound completely different and they are all good. It's just that in none of them, you can't imagine him being anyone's favorite rapper. I've never gotten that feeling from a rapper before. Pusha comes off as a talented and hardworking weed carrier.
In the Clipse, however, it was the opposite. It's weird.
