Not really actually.
Despite being born and raised in London, I've always been way more into American hip-hop.
Unless we can count DOOM and Slick Rick as British hip-hop :lol

Depends on the song, but he does make fun of a lot of rap cliches. He's the shit and funny.
i hate to take attention away from the perpetually-pressed-and-bothered Recon (), but i'm listening to this Danny Brown dude right now and...
he's strange and i'm not even completely sure if i should be taking him seriously, but it's making him interesting for me so far.
soon you will come to know..

You know there were days when i called XXX very superior over Hybrid, but nowadays Hybrid has grown on me so much, it all depends on my mood on which I prefer.
Hype.
dat extreme Danny stan bias
It's good, but c'mon son.
Also, you ninjas be sleepin' on that Juan Epstein. So much great knowledge dropped there.

I didn't like XXX but I might give it another go now that i've warmed up to his voice and volume.

Got any Canadian artists/tracks I should know? Interested to compare them with British ones if this is true.
That OVO and that XO.

I'd put XXX up in my top albums list. I like weird shit so maybe that's why.
Can't. stop. bumping. that Ethelwulf.
Gatdamn that's my type of shit.
The Hybrid really is such a strong fucking album though.
XXX was my #1.5 from 2011 (tied with Bronson's Well Done), but I still find it hard to choose it over The Hybrid (which was my #1 for 2010 btw).

ok, i just finished listening to XXX and wow
it was smooth the whole way through. i don't think i hated a track on it.
my ONLY complaint (and this is such a super small thing) is that it's too long. 22 tracks is a lot of music for one album for me, so i was encountering some listening fatigue towards the end.
in PopGAF (hey Recon boo
) the albums we get are usually a bit shorter. i don't know how long hip-hop albums typically are, so this is probably either an unusual case, or i just need to build up some stamina.
anyway, two thumbs up!

Shad, Classified, K-OS are the big, most popular names, on top of Weeknd and Drake.
Then you have people like Belly and such far below.
Hip-Hop albums vary a ton. Usually anywhere from 10-20 is normal.ok, i just finished listening to XXX and wow

I personally find closer to the lower end of the spectrum is better and makes for far more consistent albums. A lot of rappers try to shove 20 tracks at you and it only emphasizes the mediocrity more than the high points.

I'd say the average is about 16 songs. I don't like rap albums with a lot of songs either, but that is why XXX gets more love from me.ok, i just finished listening to XXX and wow

XXX is the perfect length IMO (normal version). 45-55 minutes is the sweet spot. Anything longer than that, it better be an absolute classic.

I think a lot of the bigger albums died a bit with the 90s. Doesn't feel as common but then again, 20+ track mixtapes have kinda become the norm.
Yeah Saukrates is pretty dope. Didn't know he still made music though.
I don't think I've heard anything from dude in nearly a decade.
EDIT: From his wiki now it says he was on I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman, makes sense, I thought it sounded like dude. I absolutely love that song.
They did exist, even though it was for only 3 songs.CRS would have been the greatest hip hop group of all time
EDIT: God damn it stupid tabs. Anyway, I call first and last post in this thread!

Found this work of art in a little shop here in Saigon. Had to buy that motherfucker right up and take it home. Still needs a frame but I had to hang it up first to see it's pimpness in my apartment.
try this shit again

hahaha, I just noticed that Grzi got banned for that post, damn
i like the Neptunes production but i just cannot make myself like Robin Thicke on anything
he's like a semi-kinda-wannabe Justin Timberlake
yes, i'm still bitter about Justin leaving the music game to do acting
Oh look, Irishninja being a dumbass again. Shocking!

XXX is one of my favorite hip hop albums. And not just from last year...
But I agree with the 45~ min sweetspot and know that a lot of hip hop albums could have benefited from some cut tracks.

i shall elaborate
point the first: perhaps i simply desire a wu album so greatly, the thought of another not sharing this inclination left me bereft; lacking a proper outlet for this melancholy, i targeted mine brother: which is to say, myself. i apologize to us both.
point the second: ghostdini was straight booty, that track where he shot fabulous in the ass was aight tho
point the third: while i wasn't always blessed by our pop-gaf brethren either, they're good people - so while i'll go out with you to the sea, i just don't know about all this salt.
may this post find you in good health~
1.Last two wu albums sucked. So applying the Lupe principle, we shall not desire another one no matter how good the first couple were.
2. That was pure sarcasm/joke/troll. Although, I liked Ghostdini well enough.
3. I find 1 or 2 people from Pop gaf ok, like a our friend satch. I think the rest of that thread is a plague to all mankind. Similar to Pony-Gaf. Also, Mumei has twisted my words and called me homophobic because of the PD comment. Not in as many words, but he heavily implied in during several PM's that were had between us even though I explained my joke, and though in bad taste, it was simply a joke. So, fuck him and his precious thread.
Sure, I hear him and Dre are collaborating. Jay Electronica is gonna drop a few features and Andre 3K is gonna play guitar on every track too.
