Two average albums you mean.

you're an average album

Musicians are artists and most of them don't make nearly as much as even the average athlete. Artists offer a reflection on life and put out a tangible product, which can be purchased and used within one's home.

to play devil's advocate: what about sports aren't a tangible product that can be used within one's home? some dudes put up banners/etc and their whole social life revolves around people banding together to watch a game

still glad i never saw that politically incorrect ep...i love mos but most days he can get back with blackstar or FOH

so I'm listening to this ghostface bullets wallet Bootleg.... and I now understand why ghost held a grudge over motherfuckers not clearing samples and shit. This would of a been a classic the way he had it planned......

welp, looking more into this one tonight

In unrelated Kanye News...

Ever since that Trillmatic video came out I've been listening to Method Man sooo much.

Even though he's one of my favorite Wu-Tang Members (Toss up between him and RZA) I always seem to forget how amazing he is as a rapper. [/URL]

meth is crazy consistent for me, prolly in my top 5 list

Gafhop OT X : scary urban black people music

Or

Gafhop OT X : exposing racist gaffers since 2008

Gafhop OT X: ITS NOT EVEN MUSIC

The hell happened to Jitters anyway?

I am right here.



Big Baby Gandhi's album is more serious than I expected it to be.

Gambino's album is much better than Camp, but he still has ways to go. Love that Telegraph Ave song.

Kitty has green hair now.

Can you name any others besides Kendrick? I go back and forth between the two's verses on that song but overall the coldness of Pusha's baby scheme wins me over.

Really can't see anyone saying Sean/2Chainz/Liva/Chris Brown/Jeezy/Cossom/Rowland stole the show.

Ross outshines Pusha.

Big Baby Gandhi's voice is more irritating than I remember and is pretty much the only thing that keeps me from really liking it.

Its easier to talk about sports and get emotional than it is to talk about your life and get emotional. Also Its sort of a reality barometer in my opinion. The more somebody denies the reality of a game/team the more you can get a feel for their decision making ability.

Yeah Mos embarassed himself but it was a long time coming if you had saw mos before. I remember a show he was on there with Cornel West (who isn't above feeling himself intellectually way to much either) and cornel had to walk all of mos statements back to the point they made some sense. Hitchens who is a snob regardless of how smart he was just saw easy prey and tore him apart. Like Mos was talking from a POV that doesn't trust the government (especially republicans) but in the end of the day without evidence it was just as rational as birthers crying about Obama.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Yeah I'm still bitter about that. I was excited as fuck for that album and waited forever for it only to find out years later Dre pissed off DOC which led to the whole album dying. I even picked up DOC's version he made to spite Dre thinking maybe it was the album I was waiting for just under DOC's name for some reason.

A lot of the album was the stuff DOC wrote for Dre and Cube...
 
when's the GAF-Hop album of the year release date cutoff? I feel like I need to hurry up and release my shit to be eligible.

lol

Got pics Jitters? More Kitty is needed in this thread, right guys?

I really under-appreciated Shad's Flying Colours. Great album. He manages to be a conscious rapper without the corn. Plus hes got that flow/delivery like Eminem that is so listenable. It could get even hip hop's biggest hater to become a fan. Love flows like that. Progress is track of the year contender.

Starlito is the rapper that's pushing all the right buttons for me currently. Something like Gibbs when I first heard him.

Oh, and I was listening to midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik the other day and I think it's still my favorite Gibbs project. I love almost everything he makes but he has yet to surpass that album for me.

Scust @ jiggas choice of singles for MCHG. Tom Ford? I can understand On the Run for next next year at least because rap and rnb collabs are kinda hot right now.... but nope. Should have gone with Crown and/or Fuckwithme.
 
Yeah I'd go with that as being the only example off of the album really. But most of the features? Nah.

In retrospect, MNIMN has really come down a few rankings in my AotY list because of said features.

The Big Sean and 2 Chainz features come to mind immediately as the bad ones wish it was Kanye on there like it was announced. Wonder how different his album will be I remember Push saying its not going to have any features.

Lol he didnt battle big. They made a couple subs at each other and got irritated when they saw each other at parties. It was never that serious.

Meh, Nas like Jay has had little ego driven spats/subliminal back and forths with plenty of emcees. Cam, 50, Pac, Prodigy, Mega, whatever man. I dont read a lot of stories about Nas doing lots face to face battling/old school freestyle type stuff. That's never been his wave. He's an observer and a writer when it comes down to it.

Yet they were close friends and competed musically. Nas has never been a battle type, he was cool with everyone.

That's my GOAT

I was talking about Busta but I'll agree with what you said about Nas. It's probably due to the fact that Large Pro got him in the studio when he was still a kid. Nas skipped the battling grind phase people like say Jay and DMX went through.

Joke post? Noreaga threw a flower pot at his bitch ass.Prodigy, cam and others have had plenty of words about his character. In interviews and wax.

Edit: lmao at nas and big being close personal friends.

Nah, he just doesn't have that talent. It has nothing to with how he was 'raised' lmao, some people can flow off the dome some cant.
 
We gonna discuss greedy/jealous Queens dudes throwing words at Nas? Everyone knows Prodigy is a bitch...

And yes, Nas and Big were friends.

What, she has become more and more unattractive in every picture. This is also assuming she was even attractive to begin with.

Were Cam and 50, etc all greedy and jealous? No, Nas was running his mouth trying to tell rappers that were hotter than him what their music should be about.

Where's this evidence of Nas and Big being friends? Because after everyone dies people scale back the shit they were saying about each other and say some shit like that.

He did a freestyle over that Paid in Full beat tho

Written performed for radio.

I honestly dont even see how anyone could form that opinion. That is almost as bad as saying ICP is the only real rap group.
