But he's gonna do it so he can make his mama proud.

He's got more bars than a playground

You don't understand, he could have played ball (foot, basket or base) but his heart is in his music.

He may or may not have sold drugs but he definitely was around people who definitely may or may not have too!

okay so the come-up track template is juicy, what's the "nobody loves me/i'm gonna eat some worms" one? for some reason i always think of back then by mike jones

Anybody heard of Earthgang, giving me early Outkast vibes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SfyPN0QWrYM

Feeling their release from last year, don't know how I never heard of them:



.,.These guy's are dope as fuck

diggin this



Wu Tang mashed with some songs from Final Fantasy VI

hitting this up next cause i don't know any better

Man 50 had bars on GRoDT
And "Many Men" is still hard as fuck

Esch, Rastafarian and Caco's top ten lists are the sanest ones in gaf-hop so far. HRD's the most ridiculous simply because he listed Banco as #1. Saying Sir Michael Rocks dropped the best rap album of the year is like saying Memphis Bleek dropped the best rap album of the year. Pure madness.

I'd rather listen to Banco in reverse with Gambino featuring every track than Days Before Radio. Rasta and caco lost on that one.

Lmao, goddamn.

Irish, I don't think we'll get Ye/Kendrick. I'm pretty sure Kendrick wasn't even close to ready but the label wanted him to drop it badly. The camp was saying it'll be out this year, but Kendrick himself said he had like 6 or so songs done. When "I" was poorly recieved they backed out.

I'm playing Shadows of Mordor right now thanks to steam family share and if y'all wanted to buy it, don't until it hits $20. Combat is fun but shit is all over the place. They threw AssCreed and Batman in the blender to make a smoothie and the smoothie ain't bad but it's still a little chunky you know? Coulda used another minute or two in the mix. There is also no mode like in batman where you can just counter and ruin orcs lives. Game loses like 4 pts just for that fuckery.

You can already tell the sequel is gonna be fire though.

everything good in gaming got delayed till 2015 so i guess it's only fair
Gonna be a good year.

Re: Shadow Of Mordor:
Having a really good time with it, but traversal, world/enviornment, side quests and combat are much better in the Arkham series. I am also a fan of Bat.

honestly, I really wanted to enjoy some Travi$ Thott / Days Before Recyclebin but it just comes off as a wasteman's amalgamation of everything kanye 2008-2011 rapped by someone with no charisma and i end up being like, might as well listen to kanye.

My biggest problem with it right now is the world is too cluttered. You can't engage with any orcs without a captain rolling up. I'm still kinda early though but right now it's really easy to end up in a fight with like 3 captains and 4 platoons of orcs. You're trying to do some sidequest and all of a sudden you're Legolas in the Two Towers scene with no back up.

Days Before Rodeo has like twice the keepers of Banco lol what are y'all on

Guilt Trip was almost on WTT. Man, thank god that track turned into what it did on Yeezus. One of the best songs Ye has ever made.

The Weeknd ft. Ty Dolla $ign & Belly - King of the Fall (Remix). Just as meh as the original. Lol @ Belly though, haven't heard of this dude in a decade.

Joe Budden - Ordinary Love Shit Pt. 4 (Keep Running). It's okay, it's what you'd expect a Part 4 of a song to sound like from Joe Budden.

Apparently at least one unreleased Jay Z x DMX x Ja Rule song exists somewhere.

The Documentary revived the west coast temporarily, sure. It remains to be seen whether GKMC has a similar short term impact or whether the west coast is here to stay beyond the typical "one guy who's hot" set up.

The Love Below did everything Kanye stans claim 808s did, on a far bigger scale. Whereas The Documentary is a standard post 90s west coast album (it might as well be The Chronic 2001, Pt II), The Love Below was quite a transformative album. It's like a Prince rap album. Which is why I'm baffled when people try to act like Kanye birthed a "style" that was quite dominant on a global scale five years earlier. The very same artists who cite 808s always cite Andre 3000 as an influence. Drake, Cole, Kendrick, KRIT, etc etc etc.
I fail to see how The Love Below gets credit for what 808s did, or what this alleged bigger scale influence was because it certainly wasn't present in the dominant hip-hop culture at the time. Temporally it makes no sense. You're just saying the same stuff a different way; you can snatch credit up from under Andre 3000 too if you go with that line of reasoning. Read what I said again.

fuck, that'd be cool to find

as for 808's/Love Below: again i dont really follow sales-age, i get where 808's birthed dudes like drizzy...i guess Love Below strikes me as being on another level though, in terms of being one of the biggest crossover records since...The Score? i mean, yes you'd hear Love Lockdown all kinds of places, but 10 years back i couldn't turn on an easy listening station without hearing Hey Ya. shit defined pervasive.

yeah, I really liked it at first but the repetition got to me. the free-running isn't nearly as fun as AC to me; combat isn't quite as good as Batman.

BUT yes. the inevitable sequel should be great.

Speaking of bangers, I was out at the bars this weekend and i heard this new single by a local Saint Louis Legend and I couldn't help vibing to it. It's definitely trap/wubstep influenced almost like a Wild For the Night but also kinda has a three-six mafia vibe or something like a Danny Brown edm banger. I know i shouldn't fuck with this but its just so hype over subs

I'll probably pick it up on steam sales.
 
Nah I think lotr combat is better than batman's. The bow and arrow mid-combo really mixes things up for me

Best assassins creed game since 2. It lives and dies by that nemesis system tho, if you're not feeling that the game itself becomes Ehhhh because the story missions are wack

I play it with lotr soundtrack in background and it makes the battles....whooo hype as fuck. Big problem though is later on you get ridiculously powerful. you're like Aragorn with God mode and can take out a whole stronghold like it's a joke
