Tinashe tho

 

[Courage]

oh my goooooddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[IrishNinja]

fuck forgot about des pushing ratking, grabbing now

If you want to think of madlib as an individual artist why not dig into his solo career? Shades of Blue is cool.

^this
thing is madlib is for me a dude like DJ shadow - you can't grab a complete works collection cause you'll just get lost & end up listening to entroducing again & again till someone points out another highlight

 

[CountBlack]

Tinashe tho

She could not return my texts foreverrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Dereck]

The Unseen is up there. My opinion of which album being better (Madvillainy or The Unseen), changes like every year.

 

[IrishNinja]

^gonna have to revisit Unseen

tonight is Joey Bada$$ - 1999
Mayhem Lauren
Flab
Lil Herb
Maffew Ragazino
then Ratking

coming off Rass Kass, that primo De La & PTSD, it's been a fantastic day of catching up on quality shit, largely brought to me by GAF-hop®

 

[Tokubetsu]

Glad to see more people on that Tinashe bandwagon

fuck forgot about des pushing ratking, grabbing now

Funny you mention DJ Shadow since he has no other real highlights and I LIKE Private Press. Endtroducing is basically the illmatic of sampling and he's never even come close to it again. Like not even in the same galaxy close.

Do it Irish. Up there with piñata for me.

Tinashe is too fine, I was in awe when she came out during Hemsworth. Bet they had sex a few times, Hemsworth is the type of dude to catch feelings though.

I was cooking breakfast to this this morning

good wake up shit.

 

[bumbillbee]

I know pitchfork's rap reviews offer nothing but entertainment value but this 7.7 Ab-Soul review i'm crying

 

[Kwixotik]

I was cooking breakfast to this this morning

good wake up shit.

That is up there for coolest album art of all time

 

[J10]

Tinashe tho

What does she do? She raps? Is she any good?

 

[DominoKid]

I know pitchfork's rap reviews offer nothing but entertainment value but this 7.7 Ab-Soul review i'm crying

XXL called it a "lyrical masterpiece" and gave it an XL.

i want to hear the album the reviewers got cause it cant be the same thing.

 

[Discotheque]

rnb

 

[CountBlack]

She sings and looks pretty.

This is wack.

Maybe you need the autographed CD-R for the real lyrical experience...

This is good. The psych rock one is also solid. The first two beat konductas too (the indian one and I think some movie themed one?)

 

[HiResDes]

The Alex G album is my most coveted this year. I'm drunk though

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

In hip-hop crossover events, Cashmere Cat produced this debut single from someone who I guess is a friend of his.

Ryn Weaver - OctoHate

I mean who else could it be with all these happy ass percussions and strings.

 

[cacophony]

this absoul album somehow more boring than oxymoron

 

[Syph Medwes]

this absoul album somehow more boring than oxymoron

"These Days..., the one album this year that will make you beg to listen to Oxymoron instead"

Spoiler

nothing really wrong with oxy in the first place though

 

[IrishNinja]

posted it to no fanfare before, thought some of ya'll boom-bap/dustheads might dig it

Illa Ghee - "90" (prod. by Large Professor)

 

[big ander]

I really really like both of those but they just haven't gone over the edge to like 4-stars yet. one or two listens of either would prolly put them there.

I was definitely right on this, chose to play so it goes before sleeping tonight and I'm at Eat and it's amazing. All fell into place

The Alex G album is my most coveted this year. I'm drunk though

coveted meaning...best? cause I am right there with that. so glad alex g's day's arrived

 

[HiResDes]

Coveted just means most valued. It's already helping me through a dark time.

50 Cent on Power 106 Big Boy in the Morning

50 Cent Explains Why He Messes with Schoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar

50 comes with some real talk as usual, and regardless of his previous albums he will always be considered IMO one of the most influential MCs ever - on the mic with GRODT and in business.

What he says at the end is a straight shot at Drake and a few other artists:

"Em grew up in the culture, he lived it, so I can't be mad at that - I only have a problem with someone faking or creating a facade."

Started from the bottom now we here.

 

[MuddyDonut]

The Lana is so mediocre, I cringe whenever I read someone fawning over it.

Really boring, can't really get into it.

 

[IrishNinja]

I'm about a dollar, what the fuck is 50 Cents

who (besides esh) knew hov was a prophet too

 

[enzo_gt]

Daylyt says he's battling another TDE member next month and is also now a part of Shady Records.

Surreal. I bet it's Jay Rock, but apparently Daylyt and Kendrick have been cool for a long ass time.

 

[Detox]

It's cool try to air out 50 while he was on Columbia and then retire when you see the tsunami coming on Aftermath. Only talk numbers when you finally made it to number 1.

what were you sippin on? i finally got my kegerator hooked up, got this on tap atm.

I posted it as well. The drums had me at hello.

Hence why nas didn't have much to say in the diss to 50....since he knew the damage was already done.

 

[Cheddahz]

yo, same. can't wait till next month, cause my copy of his record shows up and i get to see him live

Agreed, The last one over the wall tbh.

 

[ThanksVision]

yeah I am more than on board with that alex g album. thanks for the rec ander

htdw album feels like this year's anxiety except less boisterous. good stuff imo

 

[spindashing]

Brehs in here realizing the beauty that is Tinashe, I tip my hat to you.

 

[thabiz]

that p-money/buckshot album was terrible.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Don't Body Yaself was a dope diss though. 50's problem was that he already named Jay and Nas as the only rappers (other than him) who could kill someone in 8 bars. So when he dissed both of them I remember thinking oh man, 50 is gonna go all out. Yet instead he treated them like irrelevant rappers only worthy of a couple sly lines. Meh.

For all his bravado 50 is kind of pussy. He made up with Nas this year but still talks shit about Jay. Yet he'll never throw his full hat in the ring with a real diss.

Idk why he keeps going in at Hov. I thought they made peace a while back.

50's whole career been on some "How to Rob" shit. He only got the upper hand with ja because he sabotaged his own career with putting so much malice in destroying 50's career. The problem with 50 is that the tactics he was doing during his top reign became his tomb. Dude quick to practice 48 laws of power tactics but miss a chapter or two on his own defenses.

 

[Esch]

I think the way Jay bowed out right as 50 was about to explode and then came back and maintained his position. He's basically just a sore loser, all there is to it. Low key, I also think 50 has always been a fan of Jay music (note all the time's he's flipped his lines back at him) and has probably seen him as his biggest rival, since Em is more of like a teammate to him.

Note here that 50 is throwing up an antiquated version of the Roc symbol; with only the index and thumbs up. This was more popular during the Streets is Watching era 96-98; only a fan would know that.

I always kinda liked the tension when 50 was actually putting out music. Taking sly shots, just cause you can never struck me as bitter when he was consistently producing music that was selling.


Nowadays, when you get dropped, and put out a sub-par project that doesn't sell, it just strikes me as bitter.

 

[T Dollarz]

Alex G album is chill, real chill. Just what I needed on my way into work.

 

[RP912]

What was the best album out of the g-unit camp?


My pick is hunger for more. Banks was a beast back in the days. I remember bumping the hell out of his best of mixtape.
