Wash your hands of this whole year. Time to find a new one and focus on you for a bit. No reason to keep taking that L.

yeah, you're right. thanks man.

 

[Syph Medwes]

Stakes is High, the song, is one of the best tracks from the 90s. From any genre of music. That shit bangs hard.

Dilla baby

You know what helps getting over a girl?

Another girl.

Docs prescription.

yes

Wash your hands of this whole year. Time to find a new one and focus on you for a bit. No reason to keep taking that L.

also good advice
better yet, don't find a new one, find new many

Watch how fast she snaps back to you when you start chatting up another girl.

#WATCH

nothing could be more true
better yet, use it to your advantage when that old girl starts asking questions

How y'all feel about this Lupe I know you'll be honest in here.

It's pretty mediocre to me breh beats and lyrics are cool but musically.... eh.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

People really losing their minds over Mural? It's basically Failure extended to 9 minutes with nothing interesting happening musically.

Nah Lupe. Nah.

only listened to it once but it didn't really move me in any way. some decent tracks and a few bad ones. way too long as well.

meh.

 

[Esch]

yeah, you're right. thanks man.

Time to put down the 808s and heartbreak and pick up some CEO music. Lift weights, drink liquor that gives you hangovers, meet new people, learn new things

Enjoy life cb

 

[Snuggles]

Now that we on the topic of love

There is a girl in my classes I have a thing for. I want to just approach her, introduce myself, and ask to have coffee/supper. My friends have been telling me to start with small talk though and work my way up. Thoughts?

Leer at her from the corner of the room until she starts picking up your vibes.

yeah that mural shit didn't do it for me at all. the album had some tracks i like which is more than i can say for his last 2 efforts. but he just has certain artistic proclivities that i haven't meshed with since i was like 16.

5/10.

That Em effect works. It works I tells ya!

Stay latched to shit you loved when you were a kid and you sink right down with it.

 

[EloquentM]

8/10, but it's a little lengthy

meh.

I'm almost done with it. Lupe has finally ascended the dregs and has met mediocrity.

[Syph Medwes]

I STILL can't stop listening to Days Before Rodeo
However
I never actually listened to Owl Pharoah
Is it worth it or will I be disappointed?

It's well worth the listen a lot jams on it but I thought DBR was better.

 

[Esch]

MBDTF

That's gender studies major music b. has its place, but not what you need right now.

 

[Courage]

 

[EloquentM]

no

 

[Esch]

Hey remember when I told you guys TDE were all Hov stans and y'all got mad?

Check mate.

 

[Syph Medwes]

shit

 

[Net_Wrecker]

This Lupe album feels like something Lupe fans will hail as a return to form, but I just can't get with it. I've moved on. His flow, the rhymes, the beats...none of this is for me anymore.

Nope/10

 

[Tokubetsu]

fuck this

 

[EloquentM]

alright
meh
nope
NOPE
fuck no

it goes from ok to wtf real fast.

 

[DominoKid]

em and lu in the top 5

yeah control system will be the anomaly in his discog.

 

[Crud]

Ab soul is so fucking weak.

 

[wenis]

Flab soul just only got out of high school right?

That explains it.

 

[Discotheque]

Hey remember when I told you guys TDE were all Hov stans and y'all got mad?

Check mate.

i've known that since TDE were youngins doing those youtube interviews. Ab Soul and Kendrick especially think really highly of him.

 

[Syph Medwes]

em and lu in the top 5

yeah control system will be the anomaly in his discog.

where would you put him

 

[EloquentM]

where would you put him

This is why GOAT lists should only contain deceased artists.

 

[Vorheez]

Leer at her from the corner of the room until she starts picking up your vibes.

Easiest way is usually the best way, thanks Snuggles

 

[Esch]

where would you put him

Em? Somewhere in the 20s I think.

Lupe is only for Lupe stans at this point and this was about as good as its gonna get I think.

 

[DominoKid]

where would you put him

maybe 20-25 if i thought about it that far. lupe wouldn't even come up.

 

[EloquentM]

maybe 20-25 if i thought about it that far. lupe wouldn't even come up.

Man, I forgot about lupe fiasco until I saw that album today, and after this album I'm feeling like I won't remember him tomorrow. but that's okay.

 

[RBK]

Em? Somewhere in the 20s I think.

I'm not the biggest fan of Em, but I'll think you'll be hard-pressed to find 20 MCs better than him, let alone 10.

 

[Esch]

I don't do lists really, but I could do it easily. Don't really care for his material at all and while I acknowledge his technical skill, lots of dudes have that.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I'm stopping in to say I'm ashamed that I just discovered Mick Jenkins today. Probably one of the most unique rappers I've come across in a while.



So good.

Careful, you'll get us shut down.

 

[Syph Medwes]

aight just keeping everyone accountable lol
you never know with the hyperbole in here
was scared of "immortal technique top 5, em's only good album was infinite" sort of answers

sidenote: I think an interesting list would be ranking top 20 rappers and top 20 albums, and adding the scores together. For example, something like Paid in Full would be super high but I can't see Eric B. and Rakim being in many peoples' top 10 lists. (not that they necessarily shouldn't be though)

vibes man

 

[Storm Chamber]

If you don't like Stakes is High (the album) I can't fux with you.

isnt it too "dusty" for these cool kids

 

[studyguy]

High School is some real shit.

Yeah Mick Jenkins came out of no where and dropped an amazing album.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Hov stans are so basic.

 

[injurai]

this is like "political backing"

youngins pay attention in 2016 if you're not understanding

 

[Coreda]

Check out Blowout Comb too! It's the other Digable Planets album.

If you want to get avant garde, check out Madlib's Shades of Blue. Mostly instrumentals, but there's hardly a dull, dry moment from the whole album. Slim's Return is my favourite track from it.

This is the stuff. Quality picks. If only more albums were available online directly in FLAC.

 

[EloquentM]

Lupe stand writing off legitimate opinions in favor of tired ass songs.

 

[wenis]

That Lupe thread is rap god all over again.

And I did listen to that lupe album. It was like single ply tissue paper on my tush. Uncomfortable as hell and I could buy better for myself, but I guess this'll do for some people.

 

[Esch]

I'm happy Madlib had a comeback. There was a definite moment when him and DOOM were both kinda seen as casualties of drug use output wise (shrooms in Madlibs case?). Love to hear him work with someone like Isaiah Rashad.

Spoiler

too bad for Doom though
