[Andrew Korenchkin]

we all the know the goat is the beastie boys

Paul's Boutique IMO is still one of the most groundbreaking rap albums production wise. So many samples and done in such a creative way.

 

[HiiiLife]

Sorry. Too much thugger.

 

[HiiiLife]

Yeah, come to think of it, there is probably not a trifecta.

Don't forget nappy roots.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Don't forget nappy roots.

Ya see?

Forget I said anything, LOL

Gibbs needs to hurry up and beat this case so I can throw on Shadow of a Doubt again without feeling strange.

Sia ft. Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest

 

[Anth0ny]

mmlp2 and recovery are underrated

 

[Syntsui]

Sia ft. Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest

Sia keeps killing it, great song.

Edit: Kendrick phoned in as usual whenever he features on a big artist song.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

mmlp2 and recovery are underrated

Both seem well received enough.

Speaking of my earlier conversation with Dereck...

Which rappers do you feel that, despite their talents and ability to spit amazing rhymes and verses, have not really made good albums? Also, these rappers are ones you actually like.

 

[Dereck]

Ludacris

 

[Hitta93]

Big Sean.

I like him as a person.

 

[Hitta93]

Wale and J. Cole can be some good options depending on who you ask.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Ludacris

Good one. Top example for me, which is a shame since I love his flow and delivery.

 

[IrishNinja]

mmlp2 and recovery are underrated

outside of certain internet circles, they're kinda rated too high id argue

Ludacris

yeah that's a good one, he tends to have a lot of fat on his albums
whereas you have dudes like busta, LL etc who are absolute legends & have numerous good to great albums, but i don't know if either has a classic

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Busta Rhymes definitely qualifies. Great Rapper but doesn't have a classic.

Of course, there are terrific rapper like Chino XL whose albums are mediocre as fuck. Chino's beats are awful.

 

[IrishNinja]

oh, i mean, cannibus, jadakiss (styles too), numerous other names go here for dudes that heads used to namedrop constantly but also never put anything together more interesting than a mixtape of their guest features

 

[Dereck]

Throw Fabolous in there too

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Canibus had Jack the Ripper and Mic Club, both 9/10 albums, but he also has tons of bad albums like his debut and the horrendous C! I like his 1000 bars, too.

 

[Syntsui]

J Cole. Really like his music and FHD almost got there, but he still doesn't have a great album. His mixtapes are tho.

Drake opening a Houston strip club lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooo

Tonight is a different take on how it should be done in Houston. Treat yourself don't cheat yourself. Where the women are on a pedestal and the surroundings are unforgettable. The Ballet pop up tonight for HAW. Grand opening early 2017. 😇 #HelloWorld

😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄

 

[FZZ]

[Hitta93]

A Gangster and a Gentleman very underrated.

Great choice.

I pray for your ignorance.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Texas is awesome.

 

[HiResDes]

Just sayin'.

He'd rather use the word faggot

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Speaking of feminism in Rap, I find Young Thug's fashion sense to be a welcome change and really cool.

 

[Koozek]

not as worried about Big Boi - what's 3 stacks last good verse, pink matter? i honestly dont recall



after Compton i'm pretty okay with letting him stay out the game like's wanted since the late 80s

Where have you been the last weeks? The Hello track on Badu's mixtape, his solo track on Frank's album, and now the opener on Travis' album.

Frfr, though, the Compton album somehow ended up being one of my favorites last year because of how one of my best friends (my best friends *thuggavoice*), who's a huge Dre stan, and I bumped it from start to finish at every one of our parties last summer during the after-hour sessions and it always was a blaaassst. But outside of those special occasions, yeah, it's irrelevant.

Yeah, I commend him for the rule-bending. There was an article about that a few days ago:
http://www.salon.com/2016/09/02/you...rappers-gender-bending-style-matters_partner/

Though if you think about OutKast and Cee-Lo did that shit 20 years ago already too.

Sia ft. Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest

Sia is great, but the Kendrick verse is nothing. I'm trying to remember a good pop song plus rapper verse and it's hard. I liked Gucci's verse on that Mariah Carey song a few years back because it seemed liked he was calling Eminem a nerd. Also Redman maybe? These always seem to be low effort.

well I mean, i'm not sure what else a rapper can do on a pop song that's meant to be inoffensive from all angles.

song sucks to me.

 

[Detox]

 

[Discotheque]

I see what Diddy and Jay were doing. Kendrick tho...wtf.

 

[Koozek]

Is the Diddy one real?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

That's actually cool, though.

 

[Discotheque]

Ah. Outfit makes more sense now haha

So true, almost always garbage.

 

[Koozek]

That Diddy one is shopped or for a costume ball or something, right?

Lol, what does a dude who raps about bitches and hos wearing a dress have to do with feminism?

I assume he meant to say femininity not feminism.
