'We On the Go!!' off that Slum Village is amazing. I don't really know how Elzhi could skip a project like this. He would've ripped some of these beats...

My favorite song off it. Pretty good album overall.

 

[HiResDes]

I don't think it was a matter of him skipping the project

Yeah and honestly as amazing as he is technically I don't think he's a great song maker. I don't get all of worshipping in here.
He's Reks tier in my opinion.

 

[Esch]

He's not. But SV without him and Dilla is kinda weird.

Not a matter of skipping. Elzhi left SV specifically due to (alleged) shady manager shit. SV's manager (who is Young RJ's dad iirc) is allegedly funny with the money. Elzhi got his own manager which led to SV throwing a fit, thus the breakup.

The ironic thing is that Elzhi's career has literally gone nowhere ever since he left. He released the Elmatic project which was dope, got a lot of buzz...and he hasn't done shit since. At one point he was teasing a Madlib project and talking with Alchemist but nothing materialized...outside of a Kickstarter.

It doesn't seem like he's cool with the other Detroit dudes either (Black Milk, House Shoes, Royce, etc). Shit is sad. Dude is one of the most impressive technical rapper in the game, from a city with multiple great producers and connections.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Ah, ok, thanks for that. Interesting stuff... and pretty sad, I agree.

 

[codhand]

Young Thug "Paradise"

got taken down already, was pretty good though.

 

[T Dollarz]

Really been feeling the Slum Village album. Sucks that there's no Elzhi, but meh, still a solid project nonetheless.

 

[HiResDes]

It still sounds like Slum Village to me, which is what's most important in my opinion.

Damn, that's shitty. Not even a huge Elzhi fan personally, but a shame that business stuff pushed him out of SV.

Agreed, carries their sound and vibe well enough.

 

[Detox]

New skyzoo is dope too.

The snippets sounded good gonna check it out.

I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since this album:

I think that's also why you stopped hearing Black Milk and Young RJ together until this Slum album. It's a shame because Young RJ was a beast on the boards, but he kind of faded away, at least on my radar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf_KXE_MVnc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMSe6jRuslc

Oh shit new Slum Village. Will be copping tonight.

Thoughts on the new Skyzoo?

Christian Rich ft. Sinead Harnett, Gold Link & Secaina Hudson – Compromise

:60 with Kendrick Lamar. Apparently it's his birthday today, and they throw a bunch of questions at him. Pretty good.

Vince Staples - XXL Freshmen Freestyle. Best one thus far.

shenmue was never good tho

days later, and these swagerless ilk cant bring me down

And Kanye could never rap but here we are. :francis:

awww shit

- j-games no normal person wants out in plain sight

here for this

SMH at that vitriol being sent Shenmue 3's way for them using a kickstarter to secure the funding. Good on Sony, everything they did was a great mobilization of the industry to bring this project to life.

concern trolling runs deep, but its mostly just people not wanting to eat crow about relevancy/interest and not owning either of the formats that matter this gen
basically poor life decisions all around

You told me we would be together forever.

i don'f even fuck with amiibos that heavy and ima need a KK slider

http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/796-kanye-west-is-going-to-brick-and-its-going-to-hurt/

if it actually did, i bet that would result in MBDTF2 so it's a win-win

ugh

2pac birthday today.

Makaveli R.I.P

RIP, totally missed it though

When you're thirsty for Shenmue more than any other game. But you don't play games no more, just talk about then on gaf. Ruin your own excitement because you can't pass up a chance for fleeting kneejerk cynicism bruhs.

Real fans delivered, so that's all that matters.

Troy Ave sounding mad defensive on the breakfast club

Troy Ave sounding mad defensive on the breakfast club

The fact that Troy Ave is on the Breakfast Club is proof of everything that's been said about him since his album reset the Kreyshawn limbo bar of failure. There are rappers who get more downloads of the mixtapte off DatPiff that won't ever meet Fonzworth Bentley at a celebrity car wash, much less get on international radio. Troy Ave is the biggest fucking industry plant in the history of the game and the world stood up, pull down its collective pants and shat on his entire life, his family and his entire future. Troy Ave's kids are going to be telling their school chums that their dad is in jail, just to save the embarrassment. Fuck a Troy Ave.

Kanye West at E3 with a Persona badge

I need Esch and PD on this

 

[Fjordson]

I didn't read all of that Pitchfork article, but I can easily see it happening. Kanye's recent tracks have been weak and he'd probably rather be doing fashion shit anyway at this point.

This is great, though. Dude must be as hyped as I am that P5 is apparently getting a Western release this year.

P5, MGS V and Fallout 4 in the next six months. As Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones once said, Life Is Good.

KANYE WENT TO E3 TODAY WHAT THE FUCK

I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TODAY AGAIN BUT DECIDED NOT TO

NO

 

[Cheddahz]

I hope Kanye thinks Rise is the best girl

 

[Nibel]

CHEDDAHZ

 

[Courage]

Awaiting Kanye's game for next E3.

 

[WanderingWind]

I feel like this board would implode if it was revealed that Ye was working on a couple of tracks for Persona 5.

 

[enzo_gt]

I really can't imagine Kanye gaming. I mean, he likes games, it's what got him to music of course and he's down with doing little cheap flash stuff to throw out there, but I can't imagine what he plays. Super convoluted and bombastic Kojima games? Artsy fartsy indie titles? Shitty rough-around-the-edges-but-that-was-a-cool-mechanic eurojank? Exotic JRPGs laden with cultural themes?

Probably just NBA Live with Don C.

 

[Esch]

Most rappers like games. I'm gonna guess Kanye likes a combination of fighting games and sidescrolling indie platformers. Maybe final fantasy.

 

[Fjordson]

I think Kanye's a Japanese guy. JRPG's, Platinum games, etc.

 

[Eos]

people saying he was checking out halo/battlefront

 

[WanderingWind]

...y'all, he's rich. He is playing games that won't even be announced until next E3. He's already platinumed TLG last week.

 

[Courage]

people saying he was checking out halo/battlefront

Yeah, he was there for Hololens.

[injurai]

Young Thug was pretty tight on that Jamie XX track.

 

[MuddyDonut]

Kanye should just do one track for persona. That would make this E3 untouchable.

Yep

Do you imagine Kanye a lot? What type of meals do you think he enjoys.

 

[Cheddahz]

Kanye playing Uncharted 4 right now

 

[Fjordson]

We know he enjoys the occasional croissant.

 

[enzo_gt]

for real tho Persona on the badge but it shows up nowhere at E3

amazon slippin' on adding it to their E3 deal list too SMFH

Huh. How did I just see that Geto Boys are trying to Kickstart a new album

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/getoboys/geto-boys-new-album-habeas-corpus/description

Some really tempting rewards left...

Pledge $10,000
CUSTOM-DESIGNED GETO BOYS CASKET

The Geto Boys will buy your box (casket), design an image for your box, and commission a dope artist to paint a mural of the Geto Boys covering your entire carbon steel box (Includes a custom engraved Geto Boys signature plate).

You will also receive a custom embroidered Geto Boys autographed pillow designed by Willie D, Scarface, and Bushwick Bill to lay your head on so that you can rest in peace for all eternity. This is that true once in a lifetime gift that you can give to yourself or a loved one who is a die-hard Geto Boys fan. Sounds a bit morbid? Not if you consider the fact that death is the most certain thing in the world that all of us will someday experience. Since you're guaranteed to die anyway, why not go out like you lived - in style? You don't have to be suicidal, or crazy to make your own funeral arrangements; we made ours.
