Billy's got that DOOM spark.
Elucid goes more into the Def Jux territory for sure.
Breh, when I first turned on Armand Hammer and I heard this line:
So goth I was born black
Son trapped within a crux that endorsed crack
Dirt nap before 21 be the forecast
I was like whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this nikka here
Flow was straight ass.

I was just listening to this again last night and almost made a post about it. Might be top 5 of the year for me (and climbing). Top to bottom quality. I'm surprised you weren't feeling his flow at first, I like how he goes back and forth between a tight low key style and commanding Ludacris bravado. Production is dope all the way through too.

Woods is pretty much all about lyrics. I think his flow is serviceable, and for a rapper who's all about lyrics, that's fine enough.

Unconventional flows stay divisive in this thread

Oops.
Perusing this thread at work, saw the post and assumed. Given the strength of the lyric, thought it was him. I don't know much about Elucid yet but given the collaboration I'm not expecting weak lyrics.
Just the way it should be.
Word it's always been this way
If you like flow changes like that, you should enjoy Azizi Gibson, too, then, in case you don't know already.

Yeah, that's been one of my favorites this year for a little while now.
Probably #1 AOTY for me.

Yeah...I used to think this too until it all "clicked"
I hope we get a Breakfast Club interview out of this, for one additional step of pettiness in the Hot97 "beef."
Drake brings out Cam, Juelz, J. Cole, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, T.I., at MSG. More shots at Hot97.
Nardwuar vs. Lil Yachty.
Nardwuar vs. James Brown from the video vault.
Gonna check it out.

People still say this about DOOM

Weird. Doom doesn't seem like that type of rapper.

Yup. When I first heard Doom back around 03, I loved the beats but didn't really catch the rhymes and thought his flow was out there.
Then I really sat down with Operation Doomsday and it all fell in place.
Discovering Doom (and then Madlib through Madvillainy) when I was 14 or so was mind-blowing. I don't like his type of flow anymore, though.
New Jeremih got a bit lost between all the new stuff recently, but been listening for 2 days straight again. So on-point.

More like Three Six mafia than bone; a lot of their beats either use actual snippets or instruments from old 3-6 beats.. they also take rhyme patterns from 3-6 songs, and sample 3-6 choruses. Basically took the late 90's 3-6 sound and ran with it for 200+ songs.
Bone is far more melodic with how they rap. Even the members of the group that don't sing still change notes while rapping; the rappers from 3-6 stayed more monotone or dual-tone.

I still gotta give that album a serious listen. I wasn't really feeling Doom's debut, preferring his later stuff.
Given how much I also love the late 80s era, there is the Zed Love X stuff to check out. Gas Face....great song. The Cactus Album is a blast.

Was about to post this. I've been meaning to listen to Preacher's son.
Nice! Gonna check out his album on Soundcloud.
EDIT: Man, this is butter-smooth so far. How come no one mentioned this last year?

Speaking of Future, listened to Monster in full last night. Whew! That was fucking GOOD.
I know I might get shit for this, but for modern rappers, Future may have my favorite flow overall.
Jesus I love these gifs.
Going thru a couple of their tracks and Its a nice sound. Don't know if I got the patience for 200+ tracks tho lol.
Hahahahaha

This guy is dead ass one of the most annoying personalities i've ever seen interviewed by Nard or anyone else. Christ.
lol, copped their discography 2 weeks back when Des posted their new EP and have had it on random enough times since that I've probably heard most of it.
I work with headphones on and it's good music to sort of zone out to.
Cold Turkey and south side suicide are fucking tight. I'll be sure check the rest of the eps out after work.
Dude. Been listening to pretty much nothing else besides Future when I'm on-the-go. Only recently listened to Monster for the first time. Started with WATTBA, then went back to DS2, then Purple Reign and EVOL. It's funny how I went from not even understanding Future last summer when DS2 dropped (not talking about understanding what he says, but "getting it") to absolutely loving it months later. I get in a zone now when I'm listening to him, especially when it's late at night and I'm sitting on the train home. Whew.

Yeah, he's terrific, and I'm glad I've never crossed back when it comes to actually buckling down and getting away from merely A Tribe Called Quest and....that's about it.
Yeah, I definitely chalk it up to being pretty close minded with Hip-Hop. For the longest time I was insanely limited with my love of Rap, pretty much swearing by ATCQ and listening to very little else (like Digable Planets, a few Outkast albums, some establised East Coast classics, and that's about it). I think I've listened to at least 200 Hip Hop albums and it's not even been a year. I think Kendrick was the guy who helped me get into Hip-Hop the way I am now.
Unlike Metal in which I've always listened to religiously since 2003, Hip-Hop always went in spades for me, but only until recently did I call myself a burgeoning Hip-Hop head. I'm loving the fuck out of the journey so far, and I love watching my tastes in the genre as a whole expand every day.

Both GKMC and TPAB are two of the greatest albums I've ever heard.
Ain't trying to fuel the fanboy war but Section.80 and GKMC are two of my favorite hip hop albums in a very very long time.
Very curious where Kdots music will go after TPAB.
Maybe one day, I'll keep listening.
Nah.
On Future, he's good in spurts. The hype is real though.
But who doeeeeeeeeeee sway

Section.80 I thought was a tad weaker than the two, but still insanely good. Definitely give it a high 8/low 9. Both TPAB and GKMC are 10/10 in my book.
The hype will be astronomical when Kendrick announces his next full length LP. It's interesting to see just how he will respond with his new material.
Hey remember Fetty Wack? Me neither.
Facts
Gkmc > s80 > tpab
Hope he's done with the jazz stuff and moves onto something else
