that's kinda what defines us tho, isnt it? melting pot of violence and international ass is pretty much what i'dve written on the statue, it's a good sell

well ok, but you can't take potshots at them for identity issues when ours are ending in bodybags, burned businesses etc.


ed: Pac - Floyd is a joke fight and all the heads know

ed: Pac - Floyd is a joke fight and all the heads know

ehh i think most would be happy to see something other than money - UD 12 but i wouldn't say it's a joke fight necessarily, just not at all the most exciting one this year

 

[Baroquemantic]

Ka - The Night's Gambit
Shabazz Palaces - Black Up
Danny Brown - XXX
Billy Woods - Today I Wrote Nothing
Killer Mike - RAP Music
Run The Jewels - RTJ2
Freddie Gibbs - Piñata
Curren$y - Covert Coup
Lil Ugly Mane - Mista Thug Isolation

My eccentric pick:
ASAP Ferg - Trap Lord

These are all albums from recent years that I thought were fantastic. Let us know what you think.

GKMC
Now. Today. This second. ASAP.

Blu & Exile - Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them
Drake - Nothing Was the Same

Run The Jewels 1 and 2, for sure. RAP Music if you want more Killer Mike.

Procciate it. Will give all of this a listen.

it's been a joke fight since definitely like late 09 early '10 when Pac's movement really started declining. nah, i'm not trying to watch Floyd smother for 12 and tap man with right hands over and over again.

It had a chance of being a decent fight in like late 08 early 09. there's no way he wins this fight apart from corruption.

This fight is all about free good food and laughs. I didn't know people were actually expecting anything out of it.

Undercard fights are bought out too. Lol this whole event is a contract of falls and fake wins. May and pac readying their Scrooge mc duck vaults.

worst album cover of all time or the best?

ain't no realistic punchers chance and there never has been. floyd has a great chin, even when he takes a big one (which is rare) he recovers very very well.

Pacquiao hasn't cold clocked someone clean out since 2009, and that was Ricky Hatton. He's an accumulation/bleeding/ref stop guy above 130lb.

I might watch it if i'm bored.

 

[Koozek]

Revisiting KING by TI, shit was great, still holds up very very well.

Oh yeah, I know what I'm going to listen to again, right now. Thanks!

Btw, I'm still pumping the Kanye beat tape from the other day all day. So dope. Some of the beats remind me of my early ones from back in the days (in a good way) Very playful and sample heavy.

 

[wenis]

un-ironically the worst, but also the best.

 

[overcast]

Hopefully no one wins. I want a bunch of women to jump on stage and take out Floyd while Manny's exiled bastard son takes takes him out.

Oh? I didn't know about Manny ditching his son.

Man I love this thread. And everyone that posts here is awesome. I've discovered so much good music these last several days from artists I've never heard of until this week. I've been so out of the loop with music these last few years it's ridiculous. Still haven't even listened to GKMC, Yeezus, or any of the big releases (let alone the smaller ones) these past few years outside of a few tracks.

Any recommendations for some 'essentials' from over the past couple years would be appreciated.

Kendrick Lamar - GKMC, Section 80
Danny Brown - XXX
Kanye West - Yeezus
Lil Ugly Mane - Mista Thug Isolation
Shabazz Palaces - Black Up
Tiron & Ayomari - A Sucker For Pumps
Schoolboy Q - Habits and Contradictions
Run the Jewels - 1, 2
Currensy - Pilot Talk, Covert Coup, and Cigarette Boats
Freddie Gibbs - Pinata
ASAP Rocky - LiveLoveASAP

I think that's what I got right now. Omission or two probably.

 

[DagsJT]

Only 5 tracks in but "In Case I Don't Make It" by Has-Lo is so good.

I'd also add Big KRIT's Krit Wuz Here & Returnof4eva, Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap, Pusha T's Wraith of Caine, Kendrick Lamar's Section.80, Ab-Soul Control System, Nas Life is Good, Vince Staples Stolen Youth & Shyne Coldtrain Vol.1, 100s IVRY (if you want some funked out rap shit) Mick Jenkins The Water(s) and The Alchemist Russian Roulette.

I actually envision this fight to be similar to the Mayweather/Hatton fight with Pac being overly aggressive forcing Mayweather to up his usual work rate and picking him apart.

see i'd be down for that
not gonna pay a dime to see it, but still

also esh - when was the last time floyd took a big hit? it's been a minute

 

[big ander]

I thought it was "with my wolves" for a solid week at least

Between paid mixtapes from this year I'd say Barter 6 > If You're Reading This. Mainly for production, kinda can't get enough of these beats. London's tracks are 4 for 4 and wheezy brings it most of the time.

i haven't watched him since ortiz, but ortiz for all his faults can hit pretty hard and floyd took it well.

 

[Fjordson]

Man I'm basically on an island with the If You're Reading This love. That's one of the best releases I've heard this year. Need my breh DominoKid to back me up here.

Mosley hit him with with a big one and he buckled and the last really clean hit was Maidana.

I agree, Barter 6 is better, but only slightly...Both around the 7 range for me, might give Barter a light 8 just out of Thug stannery.

Yeah it's just you and every blog, and about 20 Gaf-Hop posters, a total island

 

[Fjordson]

Haha I dunno, I remember some harsh reviews in the OT but maybe I'm misremembering.

Blogs you could be right, I don't really follow any though.

nah it's good. solid release aside from those partynextdoor interludes.

 

[Esch]

I actually envision this fight to be similar to the Mayweather/Hatton fight with Pac being overly aggressive forcing Mayweather to up his usual work rate and picking him apart.

Pac is going to do what he always does, flurry ineffectual combos that land on guards for the judges and occasionally look to counter from mid range bouncing in and out, maybe with a right hook or left straight. He's not really a guy with a big playbook.

Mayweather will basically just walk him down, hit him with right hands all night, and then clinch and infight using his better body strength. It's gonna be boring.

Yeah the PND crooning :lol there are some solo PND tracks I like, but overall meh.

Gotdamn this is a long list of albums now. Just what I was hoping for.

 

[enzo_gt]

Kevin Gates - I Don't Get Tired (Official Remix).

Black Milk - If There's A Hell Below instrumentals.

Snippet of Metro Boomin x Travi$ Scott x Meek Mill song called Check.

Yeah I agree another thing I see Mayweather doing is a lot of potshots.

 

[Koozek]

Black Milk - If There's A Hell Below instrumentals.

Ohh, yeah. Exactly what I wanted. I don't like his rapping as much.

 

[HabeeNo]

Mayweather by UD

And it's going to be boring as hell

 

[codhand]

reminiscing on the descrambler days

 

[Tokubetsu]

Kevin Gates - I Don't Get Tired (Official Remix).

This is good.

 

[DominoKid]

i just wish Floyd would let his emotions/ego get the best of him for once and clap Manny up instead of out teching him.

i fucking hate Manny and his stanbase.

Finally checking out Barter 6

Check is kinda great. These features are kinda terrible.

I also like the beat on Constantly Hating, but the Birdman feature...

 

[Az]

Just hoping for a clear winner.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Finished Piñata. Great album. The only song I kinda wasn't feeling was Knicks.

Spoiler

Guess I don't care for them in music or sports.

That Jodeci at the end had me weak. He didn't sound that bad though.

Onto this Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music

Ka - Night's Gambit is another one that gets a lot of justified love here, you should check that out too edit: I see it's already been rec'd. well, listen to it twice

also, Spark Master Tape - The #SWOUP Serengeti. just do it

Finally checking out Barter 6

Check is kinda great. These features are kinda terrible.

that or Dome might be my favorite off the tape. I love how the production is super toned down to let Thugger operate. His vocal range, for lack of a better term, is super well expressed on Barter 6
