oh we talkin wu huh

YRN2

snuggles what is your favorite migos track

http://hiphop-n-more.com/2015/06/method-man-the-meth-lab-album-cover-track-list/

Seriously?[/I] I heard Meth say he wanted to give Staten Island MCs a chance to shine on the album but still...seriously? Why not do that as a mixtape and release an album your fans actually want to hear...

welp, better get used to this hanz on kid *sigh*
here's hoping for blackout 3!

This was supposed to be a mixtape but when he signed to Tommy Boy, they wanted to put this out as a retail release for whatever reason.

fuck, Tommy Boy still at that fuckery decades later

sigh. Tommy Boy...

His return album should be an event. Wasting that moment with no name features and wack production doesn't make sense. Dude has the clout and money to get some good production and features.

for real, this is so obviously a mixtape, watch them pretend it don't count

Lol. It's Streetlife season brehs.

Tommy ain't my motherfucking boy

Cmon meth

Tommy Boy though :/.

Best thing to come out of that dead weight label besides Naughty By Nature was House of Pain.

fixed for my peoples breh

I don't know brehs. Why even get mad... It's Wu in 2015. It's gonna suck. It's gonna have no name NY rappers all over and some shit dated production.

This is life.

there's moments in certain tracks, is the thing. but as a collective with RZA at the head? nah, i can't, past Better Tomorrow. i just can't.

Spoiler

i'll totally read whatever book/comic dude does next tho

Yup. Anybody having any expectations for that camp is delusional at this point.

you said that bout shenmue 3 tho fam
and here we are

Own it/ Wu-Tang forever was the last great Wu-tang

song

I'm not joking.

the fuckouttahere coli smiley isn't pointing far enough for me to use in reply to this

Only track I'm gonna listen to.

yeah, that's the one i'm hoping for too

terrible album art

we've seen worse..this would be progress for a KRIT cover these days

if you're a wu fan and don't like :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAVQ2zycawo

you're smoking big ol' crack rocks

see my go-to here is House of Flying Daggers but that's a good one too

Wu Tang ran their course after The W. Ghostface was the real MVP when Wu was doing struggle songs about logical darts and shit.

Yeah, Ghost was consistent for a long time after the Wu's prime as a group. And I liked Cuban Linx 2, but it's been rough lately. Even Ghost is kinda going through the motions.

Honestly, the Ghost decline started with Fishscale. It was a good album, but the raps that came out of that album was embarrassing for Ghost standards. Since then, it's been off and on with his music. I did enjoy his R and B album though.

yeah im startin to join ya'll in wanting a straight/non-themed ghost album. and ya'll ride for Ghostini but not Apollo Kids?

Fuck waiting for vinyl releases, I just bought Summertime '06

alternatively: fuck buying physical releases in 2015 that ain't vinyl

 

[Coolluck]

Kendrick's Alright is representative of my thoughts on TPAB. A great concept that doesn't have the content to back it up properly. However, that's personal taste. Anyone who loves this isn't wrong by any means.

 

[Fjordson]

I liked Apollo Kids. Had some nice tracks on it. And I enjoyed the first Twelve Reasons well enough, but now after a second Twelve Reasons, 36 Seasons and Sour Soul I'd like him to switch it up a bit.

I kinda like Alright for some reason, but yeah album on the whole is no bueno.

Thanks for clarifying, I thought I was objectively wrong for a second.

 

[RP912]

The problem with the Alright video was that it was too much of nothing. So much fluff that takes away from the overall theme of the song/video. The video should have started with TDE rapping in the car, followed by Alright. The extra shit with dudes running around, snippets of his poem, and Kendrick making weird toilet faces was overkill. Reminds me of a old Michael Jackson/Janet Jackson video with 10 minutes of extra shit and 3 minutes of the song.


Should have aired the video on fox before The Simpsons.

 

[EloquentM]

I liked the video and I'm pretty critical of the album. That being said I really like alright.

 

[codhand]

amazon, apple/ beats, pandora, etc., no one wants to adopt .flac, or promote lossless as an option but bandcamp. i love vinyl but i'll take any lossless version that gives me domain over the track files.

I don't need FLAC, but even 320 kbps mp3 can be hard to get which is pretty annoying. Why Amazon can't even get to 320 mp3 is beyond me (last I checked they sold like 250 vbr).

you know? i would normally say this, but sometimes...you just gotta buy the album to support something great

feel like you're overthinking tbh

so theres a disc one only option?

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah, no arguing here

i respect ya'll audiophiles but on my system with or without headphones, anything in the vicinity of 320 works for me. weren't CD's in the day like 192? i don't usually got time for flac

 

[codhand]

id settle for 320

CDs were never 192Kbps, which just refers to the number of times the wave cycle is sampled from the original

not being nerdy just saying

Maybe...but it just seems like a bit too much though...

 

[codhand]

buying shit just to support is good too

 

[RP912]

I want to get into vinyl so badly.

I remember my uncle (RIP) wanted me to buy his dj equipment and vinyl for 500... I wish I could have took him up on that offer.

 

[CRS]

I hope y'all bought Summertime '06

I was going to but not anymore after this:

I'm talking about the people who like Iggy. They know they're wrong.

omg @ that write up, gtfoh. j-live sounds almost asleep. still like the track ok, but this is a weird collab, MMG mustve thrown some money at it

 

[Dereck]

Keith in 2015

I won't count the project out but I can't say that I'm anymore than a little interested.

 

[codhand]

mmg is like we neeed a new, left field collab like that madlib and freddie gibbs, whatda we got? l'orange has kool keith's cell phone? whelp.

 

[Fjordson]

Where's my L'orange x Blu album.

Kendrick Lamar - Alright (Video)

I just can't fuck with this song when he is using an inferior slashed up Rick Ross beat.

that shit at 2:09 sounds real nice though

 

[CRS]

Honestly, though? Not even that wrong, imo.

Both of your opinions are wrong.

Hopsin x MMG

might be too raw for the game tbh

 

[PhoenixDark]

Where's my L'orange x Blu album.

this

that jereiamiah jay dude is aite but I need a better rapper to ride those smooth ass beats. But of course yall know we're just cogs in the Blu Cycle.

1. Learn Blu is releasing a long anticipated project

2. First released track is cool but nothing mind blowing

3. Track list is dope

4. Album releases and is unmastered and/or average, bad, middling, etc

5. Realizing our young could-have-been-GOAT probably sucked somebody's dick to pay for those snare drums+a hit of coke

 

[CRS]

I wouldn't mind a L'Orange and one of Mac Miller's alias joint project.


Blu probably doesn't even do coke. He's too busy in the desert doing peyote taking bites out of cacti.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

I just can't fuck with this song when he is using an inferior slashed up Rick Ross beat.

Alright and Presidential share one single vocal sample, which in Alright is at a different pitch and tempo. Literally everything else about the track is different.

 

[Syph Medwes]

well that escalated quickly lol

Lmfaao goddamn. It's so true. Shit would sound like a cell phone recording.

Blu is one of my favourite modern rappers out there, maybe my favourite, but the amount of undelivered potential based on earlier releases is staggering.

 

[Tokubetsu]

tried to find a weak song on summertime '06 and couldn't find one lol

[Cheddahz]

i started digging mac miller's stuff whenever he dropped watching movies with the sound off and yeah, i really don't think there is a bad song on the vince staples album (though i didn't dig the second disc at first, before after a few listens, it just works)
