Why is it called carter 6?

because it's going to be better than Tha Carter 5

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I always thought MF Doom hiring Doombots to perform in his place was the most comic book villainous thing I've seen in rap, but grooming a new boy toy to take the place of your old one with a sequel to his as of yet unreleased album (who's now turned on you) is next level.

What about making Bobby Shmurda dance for you?

We're gonna play Pitbull's greatest hits album at your funeral just for making this post

 

[CoolOff]

Given that you won't understand the lyrics

And if I do?

It's pretty good. A bit same-y but whatever.

Haha well if you do I'm so sorry..
Nah he has good funny punchlines on the hard tracks, but when he tries to sing it's wack

So are Americans finally giving UK Grime a chance now? Only AFTER the US artists realise its a force that you can't ignore.. psh I've come here before trying to talk grime but no one bothered for it, now Kanye, Drake , Virgil etc backing your ears perk up. Ah oh well, atleast its getting some worldwide exposure now.

Musically its quite different, it came out UK electronic genres like garage, 2step, drum n bass, dub, jungle. As there are a lot of dance music elements in Grime, there are many club nights here that play instrumental grime. Quite big in the "UK Bass" scene as we all it here. Here's some classic grime instrumentals a lot of people use to have on their phones back in the day and bang on the bus! Many freestyles were spit to these, but please note Grime is not just "UK rap".:

Would love a Grime thread, that included the recent upsuruge in modern grime instrumental and vocal aswell but don't the thread would really get much activity.

Before clicking I knew the first link would be Ghetto Kyote, such an awesome beat.
But yeah, I love grime, and I really think more people should give it a shot. there's three albums I always recommend to hip hop fans because they're a great transition from one genre to another, at least I like to think so. I'll post a few sample tracks for every album if anyone is interested.

Kano - Home Sweet Home (of course lol)

Ghetto - Freedom of Speech (he goes by Ghetts these days)

(this track uses the same sample as Biggie's Ten Crack Commandments, a pretty incredible flip)

I appreciate the lyrical skills of a lot of Grime artists. They mostly got mad rap skills. I've always found Grime to be a bit too fast for me. There should be a Grime thread though. Myself, I prefer the slower, more hip-hop sounds that people like K Koke brought. And P-Money is a great rapper.

So there's a Kaytranada Gibbs project coming out in may, Holy shit!

 

[Ohnonono]

I swear to god Gibbs is untouchable right now. Dude is sprinting a fucking marathon. I eats.

Freddie Gibbs - My Dope House

This is straight up fire.

 

[Esch]

After reading the great Esch write up of PT3 and the comparison he made to the black album I had a crazy thought.

Jay told Dame to make another Hov.... Well he did and in the end the New Hov hated Dame too.

It's even weirder when you listen to the album more and realise Life I Chose is a rewrite of Rap Game / Crack Game and hell, might even be named after this under the radar cut

Ikey - Green Card (EP)

This is dope as fuck.
2015 is shitting all over 2014 already.

Shit knocks so hard it cracked my lens. Gibbs owes me some new specs

 

[MuddyDonut]

Man can't wait to listen to all of this shit.

 

[Ohnonono]

Got Pilot Talk 3 cause of GAF hype. A bit faded after lunch (whoop desk job) and it is murdering me in all the right ways.

 

[Courage]

Mick Jenkins - Alchemy (prod. Lee Bannon)

Incredible track. New mixtape of his, Wave, coming soon it seems like.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Tory Lanez - In For It

If you fucked with Lost Cause, then this new shit will be up your alley.

Wale's new album debuted at #1 with 100k

Not sure if those numbers are good for him or not

That's excellent for him, actually. Most rappers with way more buzz aren't touching that.

Mick Jenkins - Alchemy (prod. Lee Bannon)

how big is this guy brehs?

Trees and Truths in April 2013, heard virtually nothing from him, then August last year Water drops, he's got Statik Selektah beats, Joey Bada$$ features, and now he's doing SXSW, getting Nardwuar interviews and working with Alchemist

e: jk on the Alchemist bit, read that title wrong

meh will wait for his #TidalExclusive.

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

he's on Cinematic so even if he was it's not like that'd mean much aclaugh

he's definitely getting a substantial push though. difference in production value between his last tape and the one before it is huge

 

[Tokubetsu]

Trap Lord aging well brehs. I'm cool with calling it and saying it will go down as the best thing to come out of A$AP Mob. Low key I see Ferg having a longer career in entertainment (rap or otherwise) than Rocky.
