Oh, weird. Yeah I googled "Plainsong sample" and saw it come up as this but I guess that's a different beat. Some of the sounds are pretty similar though

it's a pretty dope album. i think silicon valley rejuvenated my love for smokin and drinkin. but still the first half is better.
xxx is >>>
That post about him eating ass/getting his ass eaten was one of the best things I've read in ages, true or not. (Drake)

Old is overall a pretty decent project, but yeah in retrospect I agree that XXX makes it look kinda weak. Hard to live up to a classic. Good luck Kendrick.
But I'd put more stock in Kendrick since I think he's more internally driven while Danny seems more about trying to please his audience, as evidenced in his twitter meltdowns over a perceived lack of love.

Ahh cool I thought you meant like ghostwrite. lol
Your right meth was the 5th guy back then but I knew dudes who would put Pac on their list even then based on his "authenticity"
yep I got to agree with you but man Rae's rep hardly even exist now outside of NYC, WU Heads, and Rap Nerds. Like I said as nice as he was he never had the persona to popular outside of those 3 circles. Even RZA and GZA who aren't mainstream at all were able to expand into different markets.
On another note I am not surprised Fat Joe is part of a pyramid scheme. If you can sell crack and promote violence without an ounce of a guilty conscience you can definitely sell false hope without one.

when you put it like that it's almost surprising we don't see this more often than dudes staying broke & workin on they conspiracy theory game

Old is a good album. It's just not a classic album, you know, like XXX.
I agree with Snuggles: good luck Kendrick.

still don't feel like XXX is a classic but im in the minority around here
Old wasn't memorable to me.
Old would be a pretty awesome followup to a classic if side B was non existent. In truth, music with abrupt stylistic changes in the middle of a piece is rarely going to be good, like a post 2008 Kanye beat. It can't be helped. It's jarring. It ruins the flow of the album. It's lazy composition. Things should flow, like a river or a 5 series. And you definitely shouldn't make bad EDM part of your rap album.

He's the third rapper to do it jada and juelz already sold out. So I'm pretty sure this shit is a trend. Keep in mind I am almost 100% sure some country singers out there have jumped on this before. It stinks of something small town preacher scam artist would hire a artist to go to a few towns to do.
Man I've heard the rumor Trick is STD Sick for years so I'm not surprised

see juelz needs to get whatever paper he can cause he strikes me as the kinda dude i wouldn't hire to guard an empty barn
jada though....i mean after his last few team-ups, i guess i'm not surprised either. mixtape $ & street cred prolly get you a 20 pack of chicken mcnuggets but only when they left em under the lamp too long & the lead cook forgave him for the mariah features

Oh I have, I love XXX but I think Old is better. Either way, Danny Brown is one of my favorites.
I know you're baiting Enzo, but this is true. Although I think Yeezus might be the most well produced hip hop album of the aughts
You got it backwards.

kind of. 808s and yeezus are the best things kanye has ever made.

XXX might be the better album but I still think danny/fools gold made the right call with Old. As long as djs etc like him, he'll eat because that entire second half is blendable into their sets or remixable. Which was probably the intention.
I gotta say I do like drinkin n smokin Smokin n drinkin, but a whole half an album dedicated to edm rap party songs and none bested Blueberry for me. Also it's real awkward when Danny goes into that random emo bit on drinking and smoking that doesn't fit the vibe.
You had the first half of the album to talk about that shit man, why you gotta put that in this song?

He's just being real man. Like when you come out the bathroom and hit the bar for drink #3. All compassion leaves your face and empathy leaves your face. You think "wow I'm a piece of shit haha" but you spot the girl you're about to fuck in the parking lot and you realize that this is what it means to be human.
Speaking of Danny Brown, I'm trying to kill time right now in the Detroit airport do I'm gonna ramble. I've only met one person from Detroit and he was a random on the street in the town I went to college. He came up to bum a cig (which I didn't have) and then followed me around for like 30 mins telling me his life story before finally trying to get me to buy drugs from him. I said no but asked him if he knew about Danny Brown (he had never heard of him) and he was like "Nah I don't like rap, I only listen to skrillex" (actual quote). Overall disappointing encounter.
It's always weird people-watching at the airport. So many slightly different looking doppelgangers of people I know.
Edit: just saw a dude on a segway unicycle.. what is the world coming to?

Why do I want what some shady random dude is peddling?
And he talked enough about Detroit I figured he might know some music.
