Wait why are Vince and Earl being compared? Pretty different styles there. Both are "underground" acts but they are not very lake in tone or theme.

Staples easily over Earl for me. Not that every song is great, but way more hits than misses. And the production is perfect. No I.D. blessed this one.

Yup. I'm all for throwing RZA in the bushes, which is what they have seemingly done. But jesus...Ghost can't call up Apollo Brown? Oh No and Alchemist give beats to bums DAILY, the Wu can't hit them up? Chalk it up to being so far out of touch with modern shit that you essentially become paralyzed. I wonder if Ghost has even heard Apollo's (officially sanctioned) version of 12 Reasons To Die lol...

i mean, dude hooked up with BBNG...someone in his camp had to know something

Lets keep these tyga impressions coming

let's not

LEAVE THUGGER ALONE!!

don't worry fam, give it another year or so and everyone will

i realize im probably missing something but three people on gaf have that exact avatar.

and it's not like the diaper one, where they waited for you to stop using it.

yeah i think ive seen them all too, PD stay gettin swaggerjacked

MJ is above squabbling over pleb fashion. He doesn't work for the clothing the clothing works for him. He wears denim and blazers like expensive robes. Ya'll not even prepared for the freedom and comfortability.

I probably make more than Troy Ave with my minimum wage all things considered.

Look at this Immortal Technique ass nigga over here

COast to COast should be his next album title *huff

Bars on Both Sides

There is nothing good on this page.

A bunch of people including myself lost a bet in the Game Of Thrones spoilers thread. This is the punishment, for a month.

They are much more comparable than Weeknd and Frank Ocean...not that different stylistically at all actually...There's a reason they often collab
 
No I.D., DJ Dahi, and Clams Casino absolutely laced this Vince Staples album. Top to bottom, front to back enjoyable. A few of the hooks dip into KRIT-esque mind numbing territory, but the vibe overall is strong enough to push past that when it happens. Really good album, and thankfully he kept it to an hour even though it's a double disc.

Wait, Clams is on this album? I guess I'm gonna have to check it out.

IDK what it is about Staples but something in either his voice or delivery just doesn't sit right with me from everything I've heard from him. I always get the patented "yeah he can spit but where's the charisma at?" feeling from him.

Eh, this Vince album seems to be more dark and cavernous than his other stuff. I think it's apt.

Well both of them have very dark tones and introspective but yeah there subject matter is different.

I agree that this album is certainly dark enough and definitely introspective. I just get the "written in the corner of a dark room alone" vibe from Earl and more of a depressing/dark gangster vibe from Vince. Vince carries himself in a more street way for lack of a better word. Earl's title fits well because when I do listen to it I feel like sitting alone and drowning in it.
they can't all be seans/travis fam
Lmao

No artist is exactly the same but they have more in common than many of the rappers we compare in here.


What child on earth sounds like Vince lmfao.

this is what happens when you fux with sales-age

It's not like Smart, Conscious (groans), Important Rap has always been marginal to the mass-market. In 1998, Lauryn Hill dropped a whole album about heartbreak, self-assertion, intimacy, spirituality, bougie Negro conspiracy theories, and whatnot. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill has four hit records off a 16-track listing.

Where are the so-called enlightened breakout singles of yesteryear? In 2003, even Talib Kweli had "Get By"!

ain't no one got time for that in the peterboy era


YOU HEAR HOW FAST HE RAPPIN THO FAM
