[Syphon Filter]

why would i want more tracks and spoil dam near half the album?

 

[Discotheque]

i'm going to a party in a bit. what's the chances that Lil Uzi Vert Tour Life won't kill the mood when I play it on their spotify lol.

 

[overcast]

Q's verse is the highlight of the album so far

Not a surprise tbh.

everytime somebody posts a tweet of dangeroodookiepookiepaawagasg I'm here thinking "this muthafucka still aint fired?!"

Yeah he's the head of the label, never gonna happen. He got lucky.

SZA: I get to put my album out?

Top: April Fools!

Well that's confirmation that Q is dropping this year too.

 

[Cesare Borgia]

yeah, he's the head of the label. but I'm sure kendrick has the power to oust him too. he's too loyal to this fool.

It's Top's company, he's not being ousted. He put the money up in the beginning and had them all sleeping on coaches in the beginning.

Damn shame what they're doing to SZA. Easily the most interesting artist on the label. I hope she signs with GOOD Music next.

Gee I don't know, how exciting and invigorating is a song that goes "Push me to the edge all my friends are dead"?

 

[Discotheque]

that's rhetorical. I'm assuming this is gonna be a banger and go well....

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Q's verse is the highlight of the album so far

That verse would be the highlight of most albums released this year tbh.

But I'm also not surprised in this case.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Ring The Alarm off Joey's album is dope.

 

[brokenbeans]

Who is Daddy Mikey and why is he stealing bars from UK rapper Nines?

Nines - can't blame me

Not surprised, I am waiting till next Friday though to hear it. Is kendrick really out next Friday too?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Damn, the creator of the Roland T-808 Died today.

Favorite artists and albums that primarily used the Roland T-808?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Is kendrick really out next Friday too?

yep.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I'm trying not to think about May because I graduate soon and that sucks ass, but....yay it's so close.

 

[Kwixotik]

I just watched a butt naked man taze himself and put a lit lightbulb in his asshole with Daveed Diggs standing directly behind me. Clipping up next. That is all.

Damn, all we had for our show's opener was an over-excited middle aged man dancing along to songs he made years ago.

 

[torre_avenue]

New Jay Rock album coming out this year as well.

So likely it's going to be SZA, Q, Jay Rock, and one of their new signees.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Oh good, another album I can forget exists after listening to it once. Hooray.

 

[HiiiLife]

sus

 

[torre_avenue]

Oh good, another album I can forget exists after listening to it once. Hooray.

Damn, Andrew, this kind of savagery was not expected from you.

What did Jay Rock do to you?

Did you like it even though the hood didn't love it?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I dunno, I liked 9005, but I forget it exists 99 percent of the time. Albums like that exist all the time.

I'm in heaven but got a backlog.

 

[Tokubetsu]

shoulda saw the way she look me in my eyeeeeeee

 

[Bounceounce]

Read the lyrics to Humble, terrible, just terrible.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Still listening to Soul Food, man Ceelo is so great on this.

What's his best body of work?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Ooh,Soul Food. Glad you like it, such a great album.

 

[HiiiLife]

Read the lyrics to Humble, terrible, just terrible.

But he's our savior.

 

[Bounceounce]

But he's our savior.

Man, seeing people who hate trap/"mumble rap" rocking to this song is just horrible, Kendrick's flow is nowhere near up to par with the best of them (for this sort of music) and his lyrics aren't fun or clever, they're even more gibberish than they seemingly mock "mumble rap" for being.
Where's the coherency?

 

[Moonkid]

An entire song with him rapping with like this is too much for me imo. May like it more in the album but for now it's not on rotation.

On an unrelated note, Scrap or Die sounds like Danny Brown rapping over a song off Hotline Miami, shit is amazing.

Scrap or Die is such a great satire of Jeezy.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Man, it's a satire? You learn something new everyday.

 

[Moonkid]

Scrap or Die is such a great satire of Jeezy.

Haha just checked out the genius page, that is pretty clever - the album as a whole is really.

 

[HiResDes]

Man, it's a satire? You learn something new everyday.

He imitates Jeezys voice, the song is called Scrap or Die and his cadence is reminiscent of Trap or Die at points... I never visited a rap genius page like this shit should be obvious.

What about those of us who listen to trap and also fuck with Humble? 🤔🤔🤔

 

[Bounceounce]

Nothing, doesn't really conflict with anything I was saying.

 

[Dereck]

Where's the Kendrick tracklist damn it

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

After Blank Face I am definitely ready for more Q. It is goddamn quick to release another album barely a year after it though. Hopefully he isn't rushing it. Touring in between and all.

Also looking forward to new Jay Rock as long as it's not that weird shit he pulled with his voice on tracks like Easy Bake and The Ways. That's not how I want to hear Rock.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

idk, I'm really fucking with Humble. Like it way more than Backseat Freestyle.

 

[thabiz]

Quelle.
Koreatown.
Porter Ray.

Besides that it's been a pretty meh year as far as MC's are concerned. Most of the heat has been instrumental stuff. I'll save that for another thread tho since this is a beats free zone in here. Shout out to Dereck.

There's a new Bugseed and Onra tape out, both are OK, I like Bugseed's more.

Since you prompted it, I'll just post instrumental projects from this year that were decent.

Onra - Chinoiseries Pt​.​3

Tuamie - Holy Ghost Spirituals

Jeremiah Jae - Smoke Ride Chill

Karriem Riggins - Headnod Suite (Madlib/J Dilla-like)

Baker's Dozen: Daedelus

bugseed - E.S.T.

Eric Lau - Examples

Damu The Fudgemunk - Vignettes

Paul White - Everything You've Forgotten (more Plunderphonics than Instrumentals)

Elusive - Cosmic Web

This is everything that I've ran through at least 1-2 times that I've rated 3 stars or more on RYM.

 

[thabiz]

Check out mutual intentions #2. Bsd.u dropped a good tape. Cohenbeats was pretty good with a couple of killer features. Killer bees new one is fire. Nolan the ninja dropped a god flip tape. Kiefer from mndsgn's live trio dropped a really cool hip hop lounge tape.

 

[Dereck]

Thanks, forgot about Cohenbeats, had a nice Jeremiah Jae verse on it, I'll make note of the other stuff

 

[HiResDes]

Damn forgot about Porter Ray that's definitely up there for me too.

To add to this, Chris Calor's(TDE) beat tape is nice as hell

Oh and dereck, this is flames.

 

[Helmholtz]

There's a new Lupe track, I don't really listen to him but maybe someone here would, it's okay

 

[Nabs]

I haven't messed with Lupe for like.. 10 years, but the last two songs have been pretty good.

 

[HiResDes]

Been listening to that Due Rent I posted more and it's definitely something that I feel is gonna keep growing on me. AIn't gonna lie the new Sandman is dope too.


Edit: Scienze gotta new album out too, but haven't finished listening

 

[Tokubetsu]

Agree but if you follow his snap i think he's just in a good headspace now. Getting off the lean really helped his work ethic.

You're now in the sunken place.
