What is Dork Rap? Is this a new genre? Because I like the intentions and the meaning behind it.
Anyway, Onyx is so sick.

but turn my swag on was so baddddd
like when it'd come on in def jam rapstar i'd pass the mic, i know he has better tracks than that
oh but ya'll can enjoy shabazz palaces though huh
man yeah, that's the perfect vibe for it, been meaning to find it on wax
oh yeah, there's huge crossover with "i don't fuck with radio/mainstream/rap most black folk listen to but i fucks with (x)" here, no doubt

if the rapgenius page of connotations is longer than the wiki on a kingdom hearts game's plot, you're in the right direction

Might actually be with this opinion, just scared to admit it.

jokes aside, it might be more up your alley - the beatnik-y vibe isn't here, it's something else entirely. adored Black Up, Lese Majesty or whatever was a slow burn too
Are you suggesting that looping a blue note record is the same as what shabazz is doing?
It's 2016 brehs. There's no controversy over Soulja Boy's influence on marketing, release strategy and using the internet to your advantage. Even musically dude expanded and conquered a market that led to a trillion wannabes to this day.
Your favourite rapper today tried to make a song like his at some point. Unless you're a Wu stan and your heroes died years prior to Crank Dat.

Definitely guys like Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West! I mean, their works are annotated to death!
Discography wise I'd agree. Production wise Aesop always had Blockhead, and Aesop is almost as good himself. He's picked up a lot over the years.
Busdriver though has always had a strong identity, and I think he's come into his own more so recently than ever before. The album's feel more like albums and less like mixtapes. It's probably helped by the fact he is now self-producing or collaborating on production these days.

TIP just dropped a new cut. Money Talk. That beat is clean and TIP sounds energized.
Dunno, he's being slack with it.
Anyway look like Thugga got new teeth or did he always have that shiny set under the grills??
Young Thug - Worth It (music video) First video from Slime Season 3.
Young Thug - F Cancer feat Quavo of Migos (music video)
It is a crime the fact that they have never worked together on a track.
His teeth were super jacked before he got them fixed. 🔨

i just said nah to stormy, but given the cast & how out there this shit is, it's entirely possible to like both efforts
especially since many would't even have known about the latter without connections to the former
okay but scale back a bit and look at dudes who don't have entire insane forums built around them as cults of personality
use joe buddens as a median point, if that helps
just a matter of time, let's further this fantasy with all the producers who nas has turned down work with were just being saved for this project
it's actually called penance and it's meant to forgive the wounds caused by collabos with t-swift, ginuwine, j cole and the like

Even though I wasn't crazy about 2, I'll admit I'm hungry for more. How was I'm UP or whatever it was he dropped a couple weeks ago. Got totally overshadowed by EVOL for me.
Killer Mike is the best, man. Such a loveable dude. And unlike other smart dumb rappers like Nas, Talib etc. he actually is knowledgeable and critical, not just on a superficial "stay woke" level. I can't imagine any other "conscious" rapper being able to conduct a conversation with Sanders like Mike did recently in that interview series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCnrQZbqIQU&list=PLkRT6sInhvHVb96gl-uxn2LxBqEL4Iv9A&index=1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCnrQZbqIQU&list=PLkRT6sInhvHVb96gl-uxn2LxBqEL4Iv9A&index=1
He is great. There are always going to be those "stay woke" shallow cats, but some of them are just doing it because it's the thing to do. I don't think anyone serious drinks that kool aid more than a few years when they are young. But it pays the bills.

Killer Mike has an oped on CNN today.
Killer Mike: Free speech -- unless it's rap?
Dude could be the mayor of ATL if he wanted it.
Not until I get RTJ3 he won't.
It was solid. The best songs on it are the ones we've already heard though.

yeah, Mike really outshines most of these dudes, and makes my tolerance for the lupes even less
i honestly didn't know dude much outside of dungeon family shit until RAP music, been on his shit since...as someone who read the source too much inna day, it's downright refreshing to not cringe when an MC is asked about some shit with depth
First time I heard him as a kid was on OutKast's The Whole World, heh:

That was great, thanks for posting. Killer Mike just gets more and more likeable the more I see of him, in and out of rap. His verse on "Early" gives me chills.
Ah man. Its time for Nas to come back.. man Life is good was/is good. Haven't actually heard it in a while. Need to give it another spin.
Wait is this a French Montana tape? Come out of the bushes new wave fans. I know we got a lot of you.
Holy shit it's literally PD's wet dream 💀

How are Nas and Talib Smart dumb, honestly? I agree that I wouldn't consult either rapper on high minded political issues (same goes for Killer Mike, honestly), but Illmatic just seemed to delve into the realities of living in low income housing and situations that only come with years of experience. And Talib's verses on Black Star are really illuminating on multiple levels.
I feel these rappers are less about politics, and more about human experience. Killer Mike I think knows what he knows best about, and talks about it as such.

Nas is high all the time and comes off really bad in interviewers. Only sober interviews Ive seen with him are one with Wendy Williams and one with Tavis Smiley.
Im not sure about Kweli. The dude is nobody's fool and on twitter at least, he mostly just trolls racists, lol. But maybe he said some dumb shit I dont know about?
Superb!! Great tracks on there, won't go down as a true classic like Barter 6 or Slime Season 2 for me. Last track with his sisters on is forgettable. F Cancer, My Boys and Breadwinners are the stand out tracks. You may as well cop the album, it's exactly the same running time as EVOL, 41 minutes.
Fuck Yeah!!! The Boss Don Bigavell, Max B is my FUCKING GUY!!! Bring me some of them prison raps, Max!!
Right here, breh!!!

I liked a few tracks but I don't see myself going back to it. Will probably give the 'final' version a listen whenever that releases.

okay i love kanye was cute, goin in on this section then
Real Friends (track 12) and 30 Hours (15) are my two favourites. But other than those...not really.
Irish going out of his way to use the old tracklist that doesn't start with Ultra Light Beams into FSMH
