other day Big Ghostface was naming MC's who like ODB had no father to their style - dropped 2Pac and a few other names, i'd have to do some digging to find the exact tweet

made me wonder who else ya'll think falls under this bracket, like a style with next to zero prior influence? kinda tricky, especially these days i'd think

 

[CRS]

Big Sean, obviously.

boi

 

[IrishNinja]

right, i mean as the inventor of the supah dupah style© that's kinda obvious, guess i meant besides him

 

[illadelph]

nothing's original under the sun, but Danny was fresh as fuck to me when I heard XXX for the first time

 

[Rastafarian42]

TBH you could say Face fathered 2pac's style.

 

[enzo_gt]

Young Jeezy
KiD CuDi
Andre 3000
Eminem

Totally, although funnily enough I'd link ODB and Danny Brown together. Not in exact sound, but their tracks have a similar sense of humor and stylistic abrasiveness.

 

[Dereck]

Armand Hammer - B.E.T.

It's worked out pretty good before.

Also fuck U2. That baldy prick, the edge, called the cops on me because my car was parked near his house one night, just because it was a piece of shit it's suspicious. Cops pull up when I'm in the backseat with this fine ass girl doing my thing.

Luckily the cops were pretty cool. Turns out they hated U2 as well.

Cunts.

*editor's note: absolutely none of that ever happened

Cacos - i'm picking up my copy tomorrow, half-off trade + gamestop discount card meant it was a little over $20. between my interest in the DLC & wanting to replay the game again on day (on extreme survival mode, at least for a stage or two haha) and not have it run like butt like it does on my ps triple makes it worth that for me

 

[Discotheque]

that's blessed i would have been honored to be cockblocked by the edge. what a wack name tho. i really like u2 up to the 90s tho.

tho tho

 

[overcast]

OTXI brehs. Made the wall of shame. Let's do this shit. We got King Kendrick, Rock, and Ye dropping this year. Thread is gonna be the place to be.

Let's pay tribute to the dudes who dropped the best albums of the year tho.

And of course the GOAT(s):

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

RE: Shabazz Palaces

There's a special zone that great albums find themselves in where your first impression isn't something specific, or clear, or even coherent. Nothing about the production or lyrics or content at all. It's just...fuuuuuuuck. Like, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. It keeps you out of the past (reference building) and future (noting observations to flesh out) and plants you firmly in the present. One of my favorite things in the whole word is just being trapped in that zone with an album and being completely swallowed up by its presence. All of my personal favorites can transport me there.

Lese Majesty is all up in that zone. First listen had me completely engaged in the album moment by moment. The production changes so gradually, with such fluidity and the entire record is so cohesive that you just lose yourself in it. It's insane.

Quick example with another great record: every once in a while during Pinata you stop and think about how dope Madlib is, right? And how long he's been dope, how varied the dudes he's worked with have been, how smooth he always is. And Gibbs being a monster and killing tracks and knowing exactly how to approach any given beats nooks and crannies. Pinata is a fantastic album, but Pinata can't drag me out of my own mind. Lese Majesty did that shit with ease. Beautiful album.

PS: the effortlessness of its transitions and how quick they execute ideas and move on reminds me a lot of The Avalanches in the best way possible. In and out, always pushing forward. Flirting briefly with darker, scaled down moments before moving back into these lush multi layered all angle attacks. Just amazing.

 

[overcast]

Man, Pickles, how you going to do that to me after I make my post? Write some well written, poetic impression of an album.

 

[CoolOff]

Awww yes, first time in an OT from the get go.

nah asap rocky definitely borrowed that bones thug/houston type flow

 

[Remark]

Just jumping in here to say every album release as of now in 2014 has been trash on a multitude of levels besides Riff Raff's album and this year won't get better until Earl and Joey Badass drop their albums.

Stay Positive!

[Zeus Molecules]

Young Jeezy
KiD CuDi
Andre 3000
Eminem

eminem style was fathered by Redman though?

Cudi is a child of Kanye as well

TBH you could say Face fathered 2pac's style.

you can say the same for face and Biggie as well

 

[Tokubetsu]

Them thugs of bones, I know them.

 

[Koozek]

Slum Village, brehs. Slum. Village. Pretty much the most fatherless bunch. Who spat like T3 and Baatin in 1995, huh? Who!? Tell me.

Lol. Saviours of Hip Hop, Earl and Joey Badass.

Riff Raff, Joey Badass and Earl. The holy trinity of Rap.

Crunchy Black is one of the most original dudes to ever do it

I think the new Shabazz Palaces album was made inside a spaceship.

 

[Kwixotik]

I love Doris. Still go back to it a lot actually. It's really good.

I'm 99% sure it's alien music. Like 45 minutes of another galaxy's Illmatic just dropped onto Earth and made its way online/into stores.

I'm getting a PS4 in early September, but I already bought LOU Remaster (took advantage of the trade in + coupon). So, we can play a bit, unless we'll all be playing Destiny.

Are you going to get someone and eat their ass out later for the first time or something?
