You can't trust someone who treats everyone like shit; Dame doesn't have many legit friends if any. He treated Jay like a product, which was beneficial for awhile but once Jay became Jay it was only a matter of time before Dame was out.
It's crazy how a lot of old head execs are back in the game. Lyor is doing big things, Liles is back, Steve Rifkin is too, etc. Meanwhile Dame is pretty much done. There was a time when he could have had Spitta, Wiz, Mos Def, and Jay Electronica. Nobody signed with him and now his music career is pretty much over.

What's this mean for pilot talk 3 then?
The Game releasing an album that's title is a portmanteau of a Jay-Z album title and a Mobb Deep album title

Maybe A$AP will be the ones to shut out Trinidad Jame$ from having the song of the summer two years in a row?

Dame responded lmao
on Lyor:
Don't give him an interview, that's what he wants. He's using this to gain interest. Just last week he did a youtube video about Jay/Solange and got 300k views, I'd bet this is him trying to rebuild himself.

Yall peep this Master P and Mannie Fresh beef?
I don't know what's wrong with this star wars alien looking dude Mannie Fresh but dissing Master P is one of the dumbest things I could ever think of. What a horrible horrible idea.
P's response from the No Limit site
I guess every old head woke up in June and decided to act like a fucking asshole.
EDIT: :whew: @ TI rapping along to Say Hello

Anyone else listen to to the Shots Fired Fired podcast? Never posted about it before, but I think a lot of folks would enjoy it. Nocando, Jeff Weiss, and usually a guest every week. Some topic only episodes but I like those. Vibe is a lot like GAF-Hop in general tbh, laid back, some nerdery, and a lot of general fuckery. Some episodes that might go over well here:
Ratking
Qbert
Isaiah Rashad
El-P
Ty$
Peanut Butter Wolf
Roc Marciano
On Jay-Z
Bonobo
On Battle Rap w/ Dizaster and Cadalack Ron

This is awesome, good looking out Snugs
First song that's really dope from the album (if it's from the album?).. Need a new Ferg album.
This looks good, gonna check it out.
Favorite albums of the year:
Freddie Gibbs/Madlib - Piñata
Ratking - So It Goes
Isaiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo
Goldlink - The God Complex
Some other decent/good ones, but these are the ones I loved. I also haven't listened to a few of the releases enough, or at all (Cyhi).
I really like a good half of Neon Icon. Could have done without like 4-5 of the songs, and I personally didn't need two versions of "How to be the Man" on here. Riff knows how to make a hit track, and some of the production on here is just crazy. Inconsistent is all. Kokayne love is the only bit I don't get.
A lot of it will be great summer music though.

Just heard Nas was going to be on a remix of Wiz Khalifa's "We Dem Boyz" . I'm actually a little disappointed.
Here's the original if you've been lucky enough to have never heard it before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX6K7waag5Q&feature=kp

It's chill, but not boring unless you need that high octane Hopsin rap all the time
Liles book is amazing. Seriously, if you get the chance to read it then go ahead because it's inspirational.

Flex is corny for this. Who is he to speak on this? Dude has a litany of pointless rants in the past few years. He's past his prime and is not someone that can talk down on others. Dame put a lot of people on and gave brothers opportunities they would not have. Flex is on some super industry shit right now and it's funny. I hope the Breakfast Club has Dame on to tell his side of the story.
With that said, Dame should've adapted a bit better. However, he's still eating off hip-hop. Flex was really disrespectful in his rant and hopefully Dame checks him at some point.
How is it boring? I mean, I know it's a fairly laid back album in general, not really about bangers or anything but I don't really get how it's boring.
It's like.. 75% filler and there are only 3 (maximum) good songs on the entire thing.
Ooo I'll check some of these out.

That shit secures my place as the most influential poster here. I told dudes from day one it was dope, and predicted people would catch the wave. Now everybody fucks with it.
wat.son
I don't get what he's bitching about. This happens all the time, and sometimes just mean the fit wasn't right. It's not always personal, nor are you guaranteed a spot.Danny Brown is getting upset on Twitter (...once again), though I guess he does have a point
Naw, i'm still sticking to how i felt about this one. Cool beats but missing a big 'x' factor on the rap side. Dude just sounds and raps in a really unremarkable way.

Rashad is just cornflakes status.
sayin, so sensatiiiv
I get that his frustration would be that if you asked for a feature from him, it was obviously because he would fit.
The guys who just get thrown on tracks for pure marketing, like 2 chainz or Future are obvious. There is no thought behind about making the song better. Its just putting anyone who is hot at the moment onto a track.
But when you ask Danny or say any other dude who isn't just about commercial appeal, you would think it was already decided that he fits.
I'm gonna keep it real, if he wasn't a TDE affiliate someone and just the bandcamp artist that he sounds like trying to come up, someone like PhoenixDark would probably have ignored or passed on him, because he really isn't memorable enough so far to make it on his own. The only person who i can see as REALLY being honest about how much they like him is HiResDes because he'll fuck with soundcloud tier artists based on their merit.
But for me, enzo is right; couple of cool songs, but the lion's share is forgettable.
Just because the artist is a fit, doesn't necessarily mean the verse ends up being a fit, especially if you're not a one dimensional rapper or have one style. Maybe Danny came goofier than they wanted, or he came with more mellow delivery.
It's regular stuff. I get being disappointed, but nothing to get your panties in a bunch about. Danny seems to be aggravated that his career is going nowhere despite being associated with people blowing up like Q and Rocky. Dude is mad frustrated with being indie.

That's what I'm saying. Cornflakes are alright. Not what you ever really want to eat, but if they're in the cupboard and a bowl is clean, cool.
