Listening to 'Power of the Dollar' again. I'm pretty sure this is a classic, or near to it brehs.
IMO, 50 Cent really owes some of his career to getting shot. Shit changed his voice so much, made him more unique and distinctive. Without it he basically sounds like a lost LOX member with much better songwriting skills.

Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, cancels tour after being denied entry to US
This can't be for that Guantanamo video can it?

Is that Maliah?
Mos Def owes back child support allegedly. That's why he got denied entry to the US.
Apparently, Trinidad James shot a video in Brooklyn 4 blocks away from Nostrand and Gates named Def Jam with all his jewelry on. I guess this is his way of squashing rumors that he's scared of Maino.
That has to be one of the worst mixtape (or album or whatever it is) covers I've ever seen
I wish he never got his cock sucked on stage. A year later every interviewer still asks about it. Entertaining otherwise.

James Fauntleroy released an acoustic EP? When the hell did this happen.
You better post that up playboy. Dude was showing hints of this on the last C80 EP.

XXL Freshmen Freestyle: Lil Bibby. ResidentSleeper
Radio Days: 10 classic, on-air freestyles with Tim Westwood. I knew Tim's legacy was deep but damn he's had damn near everyone on there.

Thanks for the link. I just heard bout it on his twitter.
Beyonce ft. Nathaniel & Busta Rhymes Partition (DJ Rob Dinero Remix). Busta low key has some of the best ad libs in the game.
Yeah, song of the summer. Seems more and more like a sneak diss to Maino. The way he emphasizes NEW YORK in the beginning sort of gives me this idea too.
As far as discographies go, The Roots, Beastie Boys, and Outkast have released nothing but good material.....hell, Tribe, De La, and Gang Starr come to mind as well
DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's five-album run as a group is perfect to me, though slept on by most heads
It gets a lot trickier when it comes to solo artists....I feel like it's easier to go in a bad direction when you're on your own; you don't always have your boys to keep you in check.
2Pac and Kanye have never made a bad albums, and Ghostface's discography is really strong as others have mentioned.

Wow. I couldn't disagree more.
Spearkerboxxx was terrrrrrible. I don't even count it. Love Below is way superior if you take it for what it is.
But on to the topic, Yeah I would say EPMD, Public Enemy, Outkast, are the ones for me. Honorable mentions to Kanye, Redman, Eminem, and Cube.
Also, glad to have you back round here siddix.
yeah geez it's like, get your dick sucked during a live performance one friggin time, and people just won't shut up about it, i mean,
Yeah that's why he was working with Yayo for a while. Danny could make it on a major if he were promoted the right way.
People that dabble in electronic music need to peep the new Darq E Freaker tracks, WOW - https://soundcloud.com/darqefreaker/minger-out-on-numbers/s-macc0

I got so excited about this line up because I thought it was going to be the same for the LA festival. Checked the site, Imagine dragons and fucking John Mayer are headlining here. What the fuck.

Ab-Soul - "Stigmata ft. Action Bronson & Asaad"
This is off of his new album These Days. First impression is it's a little better than the last couple tracks (Dub sac & Tree of Life), but still pretty boring.
Digging this track after one listen. Waiting for a preorder for the album on amazon or the TDE store still.

New Soulo aint bad. Wished he would've went over the beat Soulo, didn't need the Asaad feature (whoever that is). Bronson wasn't bad either tho
The new Ab-Soul is pretty boring. Soul's delivery and the production makes me yawn. SMH at putting the yawks on that to try and make it go.

Man.. House Rules might be Slaughterhouse' worst project yet. I think they've actively regressed. Just so unmemorable. They need to stay away from soul samples altogether, the songs always get drawn out because they force all 4 members on the same song. When you have that sort of situation, it sort of further minimizes the inter-group competition.
The production is forgettable and exactly what you'd expect (in a bad way), the hooks are lackluster, the slow tempo songs just get you bored. Slaughterhouse is their best when they're aggressive or making party song, fuck whoever put it in their head that they needed to make everything introspective. They even have a struggle song on there called Struggle.

I don't hate this tape at all, but agree with you for the most part. All their high tempo songs are WORLDs better then anything on this tape.
Just out of curiousity, which Slaughterhouse tune is your favorite? Mine is Onslaught 2.

LA:
If you go to the site it has John Mayer as a headliner bruh.

Goes back and forth between:
Move On (Remix)
Not Tonight
Onslaught
Slaughterhouse
I might edge Move On. Legitimately one of my faovurite hip-hop songs made in the past decade. Not usually into mellow stuff either.
Well, Budweiser tweeted that, check the link.

That LA Made In America lineup is straight up garbage. Disgusting. If anyone in this city chooses MIA over FYF they should be put down.

Graduation as teh best Ye album...nah.
My personal preference, I love the production on it. For me it was the perfect Kanye album.
Yep. SSLP was Eminem's best IMO, but MMLP comes close. Soulja Girl?

I listened to SSLP and MMLP back to back the other day. Still fun, albeit dated, listens.
Ohhh, I get it now. Yeah, well I personally really enjoy Eminem's first two albums. The rest are all just eh to me. Actually, Infinite was pretty good too.
Tried already, just couldn't get into it. I didn't really dig the style he was going for on it, kind of how I feel about Yeezus.

Speaking of dated listens. I listened to Reasonable Doubt yesterday....just kidding(mostly) about it being dated just wanted to mess with Esch.
The chorus on "Can't Knock The Hustle" is ultra 90's, and I don't mean that in any sort of good way. The scarface inspired skits are pretty cringeworthy too, but besides that it aged pretty well.
