Brahs, this Common album is the truth. Don't know if it's better or worse than his last album but it complements it very well. Such diverse production, Common is on point on every song, and every feature is well chosen and pulls its weight.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Im getting into old school and/or undergroud hip/hop and i need some suggestions. If i had to choose between lyrics and the beat itd be 60/40 in favor of lyrics.

Im also hearing good things about some dude named cannibus. Where should i start with him?

I dont like illmatic(i dont like the production values/beats) and i dont like enter the 36 chambers.

Suicide is always an option.

Spoiler

Don't ban me mods.

 

[HiResDes]

I thought you liked yeezus/808?

why must you always hate the ye.

don't be afraid to let yeezus into your life.

I love yeezy was driving and trying to reply to the Kingdom Come, BP3, and MCHG discussion

 

[Tokubetsu]

I like the Mustard jams on it but "1AM" is probably my favorite song on there.

 

[PhoenixDark]

YG just exists on those beats. Dude can barely rap, shit is frustrating. It's like listening to Freeway expecting him to say the right word to rhyme but instead he says some shit that doesn't make any damn sense.

 

[enzo_gt]

We're closing in on OT11. Who's doing it? Should be someone who hasn't done a thread already.

 

[Esch]

Sometimes I forgot that I wasn't the only one who loved YG's album and think it's one of the years best.

Shit is a fun ass album. Like I said dude if it hadn't made album of the year lists from a lot of 'plebey' sources people would be perfectly ok with it. Too much hype I guess.

Brahs, this Common album is the truth. Don't know if it's better or worse than his last album but it complements it very well. Such diverse production, Common is on point on every song, and every feature is well chosen and pulls its weight.

I think I like it slightly better.

 

[wenis]

You all still talking about that tepid glass of water known as YG?

I watch you guys while I'm working.

 

[Syph Medwes]

It's a weak year as of right now...but regardless I agree. Poor man's GKMC: ignorant version; really enjoyable to listen to.

Ah, I need to listen to it.

YG's album is borinnggg.
"HEY HEY HEY HEY"

It's better if only because it isn't a sterile album that people only remember because of Drake

YG Album is a solid 7/10 tbh.

Lot of bangers and I still go back to it.

Probably like it more because I took the trash songs off of it

.
Beats sound the same after a while too. I'll take dudes like Skeme and polyester over YG.

 

[enzo_gt]

Blue Sky, Celebrate, Ghetto Dreams, Lovin I Lost, etc. are sterile?

I mean, the only reason I can find for calling those sterile is perhaps the production, which is very much in the same vein on Nobody's Smiling, with a bit rougher beats but lacking some of the uptempo/happy stuff.

 

[HiResDes]

I don't remember Commons last album at all sterile is definitely pretty spot on.

I agree on the sterile statement..... like it felt like a cocaine 80's easy listening RnB album starring Common

We're closing in on OT11. Who's doing it? Should be someone who hasn't done a thread already.

Just got my member status back, if I had any idea how to make an OT I'd do it. Best left to the people who know how

Maccadonna should do it

 

[Esch]

I agree on the sterile comment, and I'm gonna lay that at No ID'S feet. Dude makes nice, but ultimately uninspiring, edge less beats. Justice League suffer from the same mediocrity.

Honestly, I can't do an OT well enough. Couldn't do our great thread justice.

 

[HiResDes]

Anyway since someone was talking about it being a weak year, here is my top ten:

1. Ratking - So It Goes
2. Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Cocaine Pinata
3. Antwon - Heavy Hearted in Doldrums
4. Isaiah Rashad - Cilvia
5. Open Mike Eagle - Dark Comedy
6. Cyhi The Prince - Black Hystori
7. goldlink - God Complex
8. RVMIRXZ - Pharaohs
9. Alchemist & evidence - Step Brothers
10. Big Momma - The Plague

... Neon Icon on the outside looking in

YG dropped a good EP after you cut it down to like five tracks.

[enzo_gt]

Nah, y'all wildin'. Actually, more likely that y'all let the beef come in the way of y'all caring for the album. Almost guaranteed even. I didn't care for that beef because it was some nonsense in the first place.

Oh and Sweet is super dope off the album too.

...

Too low, easily Top 3.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I actually thought Common's album was enjoyable. The Drake beef distracted most folks from realizing it was a good album.

I actually fxed with it heavy and then it totally went in the bushes after a couple of months. I really liked it! but it's just not... that memorable.

 

[The Return of]

Obviously it's not a bad album, but it just exists in a plane where people place things and forget about forever

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Lol, I can agree it's not memorable. I pretty much forgot it existed till somebody mentioned Common

 

[wenis]

Common? The actor? released a hip.hop record? who woulda knew.

[HiResDes]

[PhoenixDark]

I'd still smash Sharon Stone.

 

[overcast]

No comment on modern day Stone. Whew from Total Recall though.

 

[enzo_gt]

Sharon Stone could get it tonight.
