[DominoKid]

Will Jay Elec get out of that Rothschild ass and make an album?

if he's smart, no.

 

[HiResDes]

THE RESURGENCE OF THA PHONK IS STILL GOING DOWN:

 

[bowery]

Dingus is exciting to watch in 2014, so did fraud peak already or is he still going to be exciting

Rawss ruining the Bound 2 beat


This is such a Kanye-ass Kanye song, not sure why people are trying to rap over this beat. They all end up looking foolish.

 

[enzo_gt]

Jack Thriller hosting High Stakes. Alongside Drake and Shaq I guess. SMH @ UW, not only jacking an entire card worth of URL match ups, but now jacking their hosts too (Star previously too).

UW FaceOff: Hitman Holla vs. O-Red.
"That was a whole GrindTime round where you didn't say shit!"
"Bring me the water, Red!"

Rick Ross - Bound 2 Freestyle.
...
I couldn't make it 20s.

50 Cent - This is Murder Not Music. This is one of those frustrating beats that you feel is about to go somewhere but it doesn't. This must be a freestyle, but I like the first half anyways.

Bishop Lamont - The Preformation mixtape; for the one person on GAF-Hop I forget that still cares about Bishop Lamont.

Im downloading that Bishop Lamont tape

 

[CountBlack]

Yea didn't finish the Rozaaay track either.

50 song isn't bad, he always sounds really salty for some reason.

 

[overcast]

Genuinely curios, are 50's headphones better than Beats?

I'm not buying either or anything.

 

[enzo_gt]

Just Blaze & Mysto and Pizzi - 1 UP

Just Blaze >>>

While the beat itself is dope, I can't help but cringe every time I hear a retro Mario soundbyte anywhere. From ringtones to text tones to anywhere. It's so overdone and just corny in any context.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Is Just Blaze making an album of dance music? Or just playing sets of it and dropping songs now and then?

 

[iavi]

What's happenin', Gaf-hop. I feel like I haven't fucked with you fellas (or gaf, really) in a good second.

And I have to start the new year off with: Finally Famous is a good album. I JUST listened to that shit all the way through, then back again. Then again. That shit's not bad at all. 10 2 10 would have been my beat of the year had I heard that shit last year.

 

[HiResDes]

Finally Famous is not good. How you come back and make such an offensive post

 

[Dereck]

You start off the year praising Finally Famous, and then 10 2 10?

 

[iavi]

Finally Famous is not good. How you come back and make such an offensive post

Naah. That production, though. Sean doesn't do a good third of it justice, but he carries well enough on it overall for me to call it good. You foolin'

You start off the year praising Finally Famous, and then 10 2 10?

you definitely foolin'. That beat is raw FLAME~

squiggly and everything

Sean delivers on that one too. He ain't saying anything special, but that funky ass delivery on it works.

 

[HiResDes]

You've been away too long, you don't even know what's good anymore.

 

[iavi]

You've been away too long, you don't even know what's good anymore.

Hahaha

No lie though, since I've slowed on following GAF my actually know n know of all the new shit dropping has faded considerably as fuck. I haven't even been keeping up with my own crate digging. Shit's rough.

 

[HiResDes]

The beats on this Dretti Franks are crazy, this mixtape is so awesome to chill to and basically put on as background music....Will be in my daily rotation. Anyway I was thinking if anyone else is staying in tonight we could do a year in review of sorts in the Gaf-Hop plug room. Any takers?

 

[Kastrioti]

THE RESURGENCE OF THA PHONK IS STILL GOING DOWN:

This goes hard thanks for the link. Is Dretti Franks the producer or what? These mixtapes with all these dudes flowing on them get me confused with who is actually the main dude behind the project.

Either way shit bumps.

2014 I'm gonna make some money from constructions jobs and me and my cousin are talking about making getting into beats and flows and getting the necessary equipment. I know I got the voice for it, and if I take the time lyrically I have a wide range of shit I can talk about. Been really thinking about it as a nice side hobby to have outside of my focus on work.

Finally Famous is an underrated classic of a pop-rap album. The tail end of it is so good. So Much More, What Goes Around, 100 Keys. Gets undeserved hate, so many fantastic songs.

Its ten times better than Hall of Fame.

EDIT: Forgot Livin This Life. Dream killed that song.

 

[wenis]

I'm finally back online in 2014... spent all last night dancing and drinking. this morning was a lot of other fun activities... 2014 off to the best start so far.

happy new years guys.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Sean is easily the worst part of Finally Famous. Almost makes it unlistenable.

I can't listen to it at all, as good as some of the beats are.
His voice, flow, lyricism is.... shite.

 

[Esch]

I like big sean but putting his name in the same sentence with classic is egregious no matter what qualifiers you're using

Big Willy Style,Country Grammar, Take Care thats a pop rap classic. Finally Famous? Naw

 

[MuddyDonut]

Can't believe I just found out about Spark Master Tape the other day. Dude is a beast, I expect great things from him.

This song, Jesus Christ...

fuck yeahhhh

 

[jWILL253]

So guys... I rap and stuff. I'm writing this song to a beat by Flawless Tracks called "Friends with Benefits". I just want your opinion on the quality of this beat.

http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=12609340&q=hi&newref=1 - forgive the tags

Also, I'm putting together an album called "Out of Respect". Or at least, I'm writing the songs for it. Hopefully, once I join the Hip-Hop club at my community college, I'll get some studio time. So yeah...

 

[Discotheque]

finally famous fucking sucks yo. but i think 10 2 10 is kinda hilarious. quite entertaining.

chief keef's album was better.

It's some nice soulful shit, the loop is clean, drums are nice. Needs to be mastered obviously but that's to be expected, since most stuff on this level isn't engineered or mastered.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Wow this new 50 song is pretty good?

Sucker for Pumps is a pop rap classic. If it counts.

That and the Overdoz are pop rap classics to me.

[Face it Tiger..]

Waitin for this
First few songs fell flat but rest are good.

 

[Cudder]

HRD check this out. If he actually got interest from labels, that shit blows my mind man. Finally got some background info on the kid. I have to go back and listen to all of his tapes and see which one I like best to put in my top 10. How many did he drop this year? Like 10?

That said, here's Bones' new tape, DEADBOY.

 

[HiResDes]

GREAT DAY IN HIP-HOP FOR ME

 

[Zeus Molecules]

This might of slipped between the cracks because it was dropped on Christms but Fab's Soul Tape 3 is Fire bruhs. The whole Trilogy is underrated if I'm being honest.

I think when its all said and done this year a lot of "vets" dropped really good albums and the new school guys kind of fell back for some reason. Part of me feels once again this is just the result of Lord Finesse trying to get cash from Mac Miller and rapper having to consolidate cash to pay for samples on damn near everything.

 

[Grzi]

People still sleeping on roundups months later

And I ALWAYS fuck with your roundups my dude, I download almost everything, not sure how I missed him :/

 

[jordisok]

My habit of being out of the loop for months then just binging on tapes continues, just got round to this

Real nice, doesn't really blow me away but will definitely be getting more plays.

 

[Esch]

Any of you degenerates listen to Coke Boys IV yet? Coppin now

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order?

How many Harry Fraud beats on there?

 

[Dereck]

What I'm witnessing right now is so comical. Del has not released one great project since 2000. I think he has released like 5-6 projects in the last 10 years that have been middle of the road. He just dropped an album today and I'm thinking, why would I listen to this album?



I probably will, but when I heard that this dropped I really just laughed about it. If you guys aren't aware, dude released like 6 indie rap albums/collaborations since 2000.

 

[Esch]

How many Harry Fraud beats on there?

Two that I know of. Will listen when I get home.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Genuinely curios, are 50's headphones better than Beats?

I'm not buying either or anything.

Better than Beats, but priced in the same neighborhood, so pretty expensive. I think the best artist-related headphones to come out were the Soul headphones by Luda. They didn't sell worth a damn, but they were great. They now have dropped Luda's affiliation and the prices have dropped big time.

Today I am turning back the clock with some Black Moon. Damn, they were a good group. Well, they had a hot album and hot B-sides.

 

[Detox]

Just to add I think Young Guru said RZA's headphones were good as well.
