Lmao at people in there talking about 'an underground hip hop topic' . Shit would be too funny. Its funny to watch p4k style hipsters and dudes still salty about the fall of backpack shit vent their frustrations

these days you could argue yeezus is underground

 

[MuddyDonut]

Its essentially an Asap Bone Thugs track with the real deal.

 

[Esch]

If it moves 325k first week and is made by Kanye West, how can it be underground?

Kanye could drop a straight drone album and it would be mainstream

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Wacka Flocka of this Murder Something track....

lawd...

Am I wrong for thinking this shit was going to be an actual trap album? Never judge a book by it's cover and all that shit.

What album?

And is it not trap?

 

[Detox]

So the Just Blaze interview on Breakfast Club Blaze says he has Jay Elec's album on his phone...

Just setting up the excuse for the leak that someone hacked or he forgot his phone. Electronica too busy fighting Satan (Jay) over history (his album).

He went in ! Didn't think Ferg's album would be this cold.

I lurk this thread.. a lot. But, it's not that I am afraid on being called out, I am just here to get the occasional link on new stuff that comes out. Don't have much time on my hands to get involved in debates.

I've only posted some of my music before, and maybe a video or two.

waiting for the Balam Acab / Yeezy collab album. Make it a double album too, conceptual.

 

[The Return of]

If any rapper responds to that Kendrick verse with just a song instead of putting together a great album I am never listening to them again. So please post those tracks here so I can make my list.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

What album?

And is it not trap?

Asap Ferg's album.

I don't know why I was thinking that it was going to sound like typical trap shit. It's really not bad.

 

[The Return of]

I remember when Ferg verse came out for that one Rocky song and I defended him. People wanted to torch me like a witch. Now yall streaming his album.

it's cool tho

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Been listening to mainly trap lately. Going through Guccis tapes and so much of his music bangs. Anywhere else I should be checking? Aces Ignorant mixes are helping to find shit.

It's alright man I liked Ferg since I heard him on Kissing Pink too.

He's still terrible

This isn't so bad though.

i know what you mean, i'm just saying i can count on one hand the number of times a modern artist or group that popular has dropped a more deliberately left field album

when i think about 1997 underground hip-hop it wasn't as different to its mainstream counter part as Yeezus is from the current mainstream, it was still all sample based for example,

you had Trackmasters, who were "mainstream" basically by sampling more popular dance records than the average underground group, but the gulf of style within the genre is much wider now

Listen to this Ferg album. Its something.

The bad guy from Donkey Kong

Edit: Im on it Muddy

 

[Esch]

Im just stunned that yall heard shabba and decided to cop the full thing.

Gross.

 

[enzo_gt]

Ferg has been talking about the rest of the album being far from trap for a while.

Gonna check out the stream to give dude a shot.

 

[TheKaeptain]

A wild Bone Thugs appears

This track

... what?

 

[The Return of]

He's still terrible

#LIKECOOKIESCHIPSAHOY

Not trying to hear it bro. Eat your chips ahoy with pride

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Just Blaze & Bauuer ft/ Jay - Z : Higher

The song is old, but Nabil just dropped a video for it. The end is crazy.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

... what?

Asap Ferg album stream. There's a Bone Thugs track on there.

Sorry for my vague half-post, I thought we were still doing that.

 

[MuddyDonut]

Just finished it. First impression?
Loweryourexpectations/10
Some fun here, a lot of the singing tracks are awful.
Waka did great and this Bone Thugs sounds off, but still enjoyable overall. Starts off strong (first 4 tracks) then falls off a cliff until Waka comes and then it's over.

[thabiz]

[Rastafarian42]

(Waits for L jokes)

 

[Face it Tiger..]

This Ferg album is damned good.

 

[MuddyDonut]

oooooooooOOOOOOOOO

 

[TheKaeptain]

This Ferg album...

 

[PhoenixDark]

pitchfork are comparing kendricks verse to nicki's on monster.

unintentional ether

Why? Nicki had the best verse on that album.

 

[Rastafarian42]

oooooooooOOOOOOOOO

I'M THE HOOD POPE CHAIN HANG LOW RED RUBIES IN THE GOLD

 

[Esch]

The Coli super slow for anyone else? is shit crashing over this?

 

[J10]

How do you guys feel about Joe Budden as an artist? Do you think he's good?

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I like him. GAFHop doesn't

 

[iavi]

This Ferg album is so fucking goofy. But I love it. CHIPSAHOY and SHABBASHABBARANKS were just precursors. It's all so clear now.

 

[Esch]

How do you guys feel about Joe Budden as an artist? Do you think he's good?

Good rapper, garbage artist/human being.

Also guys i'm diving into this Ferg album. If it's bad, i'm snitching on MuddyDonut to the INS.

 

[J10]

What's the distinction between artists and rappers? Aren't all rappers artists? Wouldn't a good rapper be a good artist?

 

[wenis]

(Waits for L jokes)

Coles head looks like an ice cream cone... or inspector gadgets evil twin.

 

[Esch]

What's the distinction between artists and rappers? Aren't all rappers artists?

His bars, flow, basically his technical rapping ability are pretty good. It's undeniable. He's basically a battle rapper.

His actual music is pretty boring from just about every perspective. He didn't even get good beats like Royce used to back in the day. As far as subject material and songwriting... Gross. Not for me. Too self pitying/whiny.


yo i can't front the production on this Ferg album is flames so far. I'm kinda feeling like this is fresher than LongLive lmao

 

[CountBlack]

So anyone checking that new Trinidad James mixtape?

Haven't listened to it.. probably won't but here's a link.

Not necessarily. People can rap technically well but can't make good songs or albums. Rapping skills don't always mean someone can make good music. Talib Kweli for example, the guy can rhyme no doubt, but he struggles to make solid albums and songs.
