I'm assuming you're talking about that Q track? I like Farrar's version better from what little we've heard of Q's version.
Also, I can't believe we're seriously getting hologram performances from dead artists. This is crazy, like we in da future or something.

August Burns Red is putting out a new album in a month (not hip hop) and BMTH's (not hip hop) album dropped earlier this year so no it hasn't sucked for music yet. Hip Hop has been a bit stale so far for me except for Rockies album, nothing has hooked me yet. Still waiting for Schoolboys album.

I listened to Setbacks in full at the gym again tonight. I haven't done that in awhile.
Other than a handful of songs, Q is so boring on this. His rhymes aren't tight at all, his flow is much more basic, the beats are definitely all TDE and at the time that wasn't something to write home about... and his subject matter hasn't changed much but he is definitely more focused. Here some of what he says sounds corny. Now, I believe it.
Kamikaze is a GOAT song. One of his best. Figg get the Money is really good. Other than that it's a pretty boring album IMO. If this was all I knew about Q, he'd be one boring dude.
I'm happy to see Bodega BAMZ on the Rock the Bells lineup. I wish it wasn't at the Meadowlands and still at Jones Beach. I hate festivals so I wouldn't go regardless but I'd consider it at Jones Beach.

Pretty much how I felt about it as well and it the tempo was so samey on every beat.
My favorite song on it was Fuck Ya Hip-hop which was a bonus song. Underrated Q song without a doubt

Hov x Rae, for some reason, makes me excited. I have no idea if it will actually happen but the idea of old NY rappers getting together to make music makes me happy.
An album with Wu, Jay, MOP, Boot Camp Clik, Mobb Deep, Nas. With RZA, Pete Rock, Premo, Alchemist, MOP, Havoc, Statik Selektah and company doing production... goddamn.
Yeah, this song is dope. He sounds like a west coast 50 on this. Setbacks is definitely more 50, for better or worse. It also sounds way more west coast in terms of beats.

I dont know about those holograms man. Could be interesting, but seems like whoring out their names to me.
Wtf at Chase and Status playing RTB, I mean I like their music but its not exactly hip hop.

I just have a dream that an album of songs like this could be made, somehow.
The Worst - Onyx & Wu-Tang
Onyx are super underrated.

yeah it only took em until way past their sell-by date to realize they could probably get over pretty well if they started working together. imagine if NY rappers in their prime were cartel'd up like that YMCMB/MMG/WTB shit.

i really only fucked with Onyx on Bacdafukup or whatever it was, was anything past that good?
this really wouldn'tve worked for the most part like many here would want it to, between egos and silly shit. i cherish Wu, Def Squad & other supergroup albums we got for just that reason.

It wouldn't have been NY rap if they didn't have their egos. That's part of what makes NY great. The fact that French Montana and Dipset have such a deep hatred for each other still makes me happy.
Both of their next albums were even better. All We Got Iz Us is a classic IMO.

I feel the same man. On the one hand Im like that shit isn't right. But then Im still thinking Id wanna see it in person.
money > egos.
always and forever.
thats why them dudes end up broke, hungry and hating.
Yup. Y'all can keep Drizzy. Our gift to y'all. No, please, I insist.
Some are, most aren't. But he had frequent appearances on the Canadian version of TRL for a while and was one of the more frequent hosts of another show called Going Coastal, along with having his own segment from time to time (which is what the online intervews are). I certainly remember him and I wasn't deep into music or anything until recent years. Can't forget the theme song!
Oh god.. where is this headed.

true, but...counterpoint: the dudes that stay around just for $ like we're pointing at now often don't do half as much for me as what say Tribe was able to put out (even when their label was screwing them outta $) consistently for years doe
mooooooooooooooooose kinda said it; better or worse that ego shit was part of the music..i don't wanna co-sign primadonna shit but still
ahaha my dude just wants to see me go in...alright then

Fuck you Esch.
I was like Charles Hamilton playing Sonic when I was like 5 or 6 years old.
I've seen Going Coastal mentioned in Nard's old videos from the early 90s.
Glad to see him using the internet to his advantage. Especially with hitting the SXSW musical acts which always have a big internet following.
Questlove expecting crazy musical references and still getting trumped was awesome.
Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings (Fanmade Kanye Doc)
pretty cool.
really excited to see him on SNL this weekend. i really hope he puts the new song (i'm assuming) out on Friday.

That lineup is straight buttcheese
I love seeing some of those guys lives but every single year? Come on
And Cudi again? Dude was awful last year. Cole would have been light years better on the lineup.

Imagine if he did theraflu and mercy or new god flow or something, the internet would freak the fuck out. Plus i love all those songs so win win for me.
I'd be pissed if he did Cold. But then part of me wonders... What if he does it with that extended intro? That sample flip was so dope, would have made the album version 10x better
Doubt it tho.

i see you tryin real hard Dr Dhalsim so ima break something down for you right quick
i get that ownership is a new concept for ya'll down in the shallow end of the river ganges or wherever
but in this culture it's usually frowned upon to speak on things you know not about
somethin to think on next time ya getting ya eyebrows threaded n whatever
He def will. Apparently he played half the album at a random clothing boutique last night, and tomorrow night he's performing again.

The beat on Farrar's version is way more subtle.

it wouldn't have worked with that q hook, hence the louder drums and sample. yesterday i was clamoring for a mashup with deniro farrar's verses on there but i just realized how strange that would sound.
i would be maaaaaaaaaaaad. i'm not trying to sit through 84 mins of shit skits and commercials to see 6 mins of old songs.
getting real mad and then coming at me on some race shit, i see you for you now
