I've seen some clips from Tiller's Summer Jam performance it was looking terrible. Dude's speaking voice is very different from his singing one, and he was mostly just talking the words to his songs out.

It def wasn't groundbreaking. The venue at red rocks did him more favors than anything and yeah Colorado broads are fine

Yikes, Still Brazy is gonna flop. Expected to sell 30K/40KSPS. MKL did 60K first week.
Holy shit this sounds great. Really have high expectations for this.
I was wondering the same earlier. Should be a decent drop off from Oxy. It'll be less commercial (it seems like), a less hyped release (Oxy was built towards for a few years) and sales of actual albums are wayyy down + dropping quicker.
Basically I would get ready for a Top Dawg meltdown on Twitter. Should tour well though.

In regards to concerts, I for some reason want to see Meek Mill in concert, of all of the rappers I would potentially see in concert. Anybody ever seen him in concert?
I mostly go to metal shows. The few rap concerts I have been to are a weird assortment: I went to a Watch the Throne show, saw Run The Jewels, GoldLink, G-Eazy (actually really damn fun live even if his records aren't very good), and caught Kendrick on his most recent tour.

Groovy Tony is prime Q
I hope the best for him considering H&C is one of my fav albums this decade...but I can't help but feel we got a "LA we got a work to do" tweet coming soon regarding sales lol
And let's see if he actually has a better album than YG this go around...Still Brazy was such a fun listen...

Concerts are usually hit or miss for me, but I did love BTBAM live; that fucking blew my mind. Oddly enough, I feel that Jazz and Classical concerts are my favorite of them all. Definitely a little stuffy at times, though. I'm usually on my damn feet when I listen to Classical Music at home.

Q should be fine. he's at least got some buzz off of That Part
of course. no hits on it aside from the Drake track. and that shouldve been out a lot sooner so it'd actually be a hit when the album released. this release was a fumble.

Is YG's Drake song even on the radio? That song is terrible, easily the worst track on the album.
Surprised he got a release date without a decent radio single.

I revisited Oxymoron a while back but it just does nothing for me aside from Hoover Street, Prescription/Oxymoron, Break The Bank, and Man of The Year (and Yay Yay, if that counts). Most of the album is just so blehhh. I thought I overreacted initially, but nah that album's a disappointment.
Groovy Tony is great though, and that snippet sounds like prime Q indeed. We'll see.

Lmao I wouldn't doubt it at this point he already complained about the Groovy tony sales.
Agreed and expecting the new album to be very good based off the singles so far.
The Game ft. Jeremih - All Eyez (Prod. by Scott Storch).
Belly ft. The Weeknd, 2 Chainz & Yo Gotti - Might Not (Remix). Much better than the original.

Last year i went to Wu-Tang (well kind of...Method Man and RZA and a few more weren' there, lol) and this wednesday it's time for Cypress Hill in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Should be awesome. Years ago i went to their show in my hometown and it was fantastic.
Agreed. I think anyone here finds it weird as hell that these allegations would appear a year after, but who knows.
Wasn't it said there was camera footage though?

To be fair, I actually think this is the best thing to do. Looking back at the stuff I listen to now, and the material at hand, I wouldn't let my children listen to Parental Advisory rap albums even if they're 13 years old.

lmao Vince Staples is great
"I didn't give a fuck about fuckin hip-hop when Toy Story 2 came out. What? RAP? Fuck out my face. Woody, Buzz (vs.) Wu-Tang Clan..... Nah. Woody and Buzz. My Mom wasn't letting me listen to rap music when I was 7, she loves me."

this kid is honestly the most realest dude in rap right now. a man of the people.

God damn dude....now this is one fucking great list of albums to pick.
1. The Cold Vein (9/10)-Genius album. Brilliant lyrics. Evocative and amazing soundscapes. Masterpiece.
2. Dr. Octagonecologyst (9/10)-Still one of the most unique albums in rap. Production is fantastic and Kool Keith is at his apex in terms of nonsensical rhyming and unique imagery.
3. Deltron 3030 (9/10)-Funnily enough, I used to not like this album very much, but it grew on me. Few albums in rap are as fun to listen to, even though the concept itself (like most concept albums) is stretched a bit thin.
4. Viktor Vaughn (?)-I like this one, but I don't have a decisive rating on it.
5. The Unseen (5/10)-Probably the only album on this list I never really got into. It's definitely unique and I recommend it to anyone, you will probably get more out of it than I.

yeah that one's not bad, but if it would've been madvillain or even mmm...food id've ranked it higher

I really respect EL-P but Company Flow's debut.....never could get through it. Too lo-fi for me, and lo-fi rap usually lacks the necessary production for me to enjoy the album.
The only, and I mean the only issue I have with Dr. Octagonecologyst is with Keith. Keith is one of the primary reasons why the album is so interesting, however.
He's championed this extremely sporadic flow. He doesn't rap that way on the entire album. Songs like Halfshark, Blue Flowers and Wild & Crazy demonstrate what he can sound like when his flow is more rock solid.
Songs like No Awareness and Technical Difficulties though, on some occasions I love those songs and on some occasions they're a little overwhelming just because it sounds like Keith is just saying whatever in whatever pattern he wants to. No Awareness is scatterbrained as fuck and I don't know what the fuck he's talking about. That's not a problem at all, I really like the parts that just sound kooky and unexpected, lines like "ever since Presidents......Lyndon...B, Jerry, John, George and Carter like Optimus Diesel reflects auto starter". Deltron does the same thing yeah, but his flow is more conventional.
The extraterrestrial lunatic personality is what makes No Awareness and most of the album work. So that gives the album an undoubted unique edge.

Dope cinematic, crime rap. Think biz has posted his previous stuff in here, this one is damn good.
Oh damn, this is the hardest one yet. Deltron was one of the first underground albums I ever heard so I'm a bit biased & Del is one of my favourite MC's ever but...
1. Deltron 3030
2. Dr. Octagon
3. Cold Vein
4. Viktor Vaughn
5. The Unseen
Love all of them, though. Especially the top two. Automator's production was so good back then and I love the story concepts of Deltron and Dr. Octagon.

Still is. Deltron Event 2 underwhelming is 100% on Del. Automator brought heat.
True true. Damn that shit was disappointing. Though not entirely surprising, I always get nervous when shit takes forever to come together like that.
It's like that Doom and Ghost album. Have a feeling it'll be disappointing if it ever makes it out.

Did anyone else actually like Blade of the Ronin from Can Ox? Album was insanely underwhelming.

I don't even want to hear DoomStarks anymore. Ghost lost more than a few steps, and who even knows what Doom can do these days. The perfect time for that album would've been like a decade ago.
