On bfk? Not even.

I haven't listened to BFK yet, still waiting to pay my damn internet bill. Broke.

H&C is still my album of the year thus far.

I have still yet to think about my aoty. Honestly I don't even have a soty yet.

I have still yet to think about my aoty. Honestly I don't even have a soty yet.

SOTY is difficult to think of to be honest, so is verse of the year. Going to need to think about those two for a while.

 

[cdyhybrid]

SOTY is between New God Flow and Hip Hop for me right now.

 

[Complex Shadow]

SOTY is between New God Flow and Hip Hop for me right now.

I would prob go dose of dopeness just because I was waiting for that song to come out for ever.


Did dose of dopness come out this year or last?

 

[OG Kush]

Do people still not burn CDs? My car hasn't got any Mp3 jack or usb input etc so still gotta use the CDs.
SOTY would be Hip Hop for me right now.

 

[Esch]

soty is showroom or oh hail no can't decide

 

[RJT]

Song of the Year is going to be Hip-Hop to me. I played that song so many times...

Other contenders (in no particular order):
Kendrick - Cartoons & Cereals
Ab-Soul ft. Danny Brown - Terrorist Threats
Kanye & Friends - Clique
Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music / Big Beast
El-P - Tougher Colder Killer
Schoolboy Q & Asap - Hands on the Wheel

 

[MuddyDonut]

That's a pretty good list. Similar to mine if I were to do one.

SOTY = Pyramids.

That second half is the smoothest shit I've ever heard. Vibe to that hardcore whenever I hear it.

J-Zone must be lurking: 20 Great Rap Songs Under 2 Minutes.

“Niggas wanna get up and rap and rap and rap and rap, man, fuck that!” – Ol’ Dirty Bastard

A note to rappers: Buy a stopwatch. Unless you’re Too $hort croaking a prostitute with a load of sperm, nobody wants to hear you rap for more than three minutes. The true indicator of good music is the rewind button. While revisiting Ras Kass’ “Nature of the Threat,” a thought occurred to me: Valiant effort, superior concept, but how and why the hell does the 5-plus minute rap song (sans the extended posse cut) even exist? If you can’t say it in under four minutes, break it up into parts or turn it into a movie. Nobody’s taking a sax solo, there’s no vamp – it’s just beats, rhymes, choruses and (rarely) cuts. Now that we know the length of the rap listener’s attention span is akin to Greg Oden’s NBA spotlight, it’s a safe bet to proclaim that it’s time to strictly enforce the 3:00 rule on rap records.

holy shit at the polka sample on #14

That and Forrest Gump are definitely contenders if we're not limiting to hip-hop. I also forget to mention "Queen's Story" by Nas. That shit cray.

 

[spindashing]

I can't wait for gaf hop to ignore Des's list and ask for new music.

YESSSSSS

love you des

Actually, I'm ready for this wrapup. I don't have anything in my backlog.

F&L 2 debuted with 90,000 copies sold. Lasers sold over 200,000 first week.

Can't wait for Lasers II.

I think 90,000 is normal Lupe numbers not counting Lasers, no?

 

[The Return of]

I think 90,000 is normal Lupe numbers not counting Lasers, no?

nope. Lupe albums sold quite well before Lasers.

Edit: Actually checking now, The Cool was over 100k while F&L1 was in 90k as well.

Welcome my dude. Ill check em out later after work.

SOTY = New God Flow.
AOTY = Potentially the new Ghost LP if it drops this year. So far its Life is Good.

RJT, Terrorist Threats dont belong on that list.

 

[soul creator]

also

 

[soul creator]

oops

 

[CRS]

Even though the song itself is really old, SotY is Clams Casino's "I'm God". he reñeased it this year so it should count.

 

[RJT]

RJT, Terrorist Threats dont belong on that list.

Maybe it's just me, but I love the mix of Ab-Soul's conspiracy raps and Danny Brown's crazyness. Plus, that beat is great.

Ab's second verse is particularly awesome:

"Dear Barack
I know you just a puppet but I’m giving you props
You lying to the public like it ain’t nothing
And I just love it, I hope it don’t stop
I don’t give a damn, nigga bang that block
I don’t give a fuck, nigga bang that Glock
I seen an image of Hitler in the picture
When the twin towers dropped
Peep the concept
You’ve got progress, you’ve got congress
We protest in hopes they confess
Just proceed on your conquest"

Also, EXTRA PIIIIIIILLLLLS!

 

[Bishman]

Don't sleep on this album GAF!

Solid considering the situation Lupe is in with virtually ZERO marketing. If Lupe was independent he'd be cakin'.

Speaking of Gunplay, you can hear a part of a new track here, it sounds pretty dope, it uses the same sample as this.

 

[Complex Shadow]

Lmao... Dude gets tossed like a train just hit him at one stage.

Kinda makes me feel sorry gunplay. But then I remember he's gunplay.
