Chuck D >>>

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Yup. Just gave Kendrick Lamar another try. He still sucks

Lol

 

[Purple Cheeto]

So, I worked a bunch of OT and will be able to afford a PS4, but the games that are bundled with it aren't really anything I want to play. Should I buy one any way or wait and hope I can afford one later?

 

[Ferny]

I can't say I like rap much aside from outkast (is that consid r red rap?) But I checked out Lamar on Spotify and enjoyed it

Outkast is considered rap. Their last album was weird, but still Andre 3000 is arguably one of the top 10 rappers to ever do it.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

The fact that your measuring stick for rap is Q-Tip...tells me everything I need to know. Although that album was excellent.

If you are basing Kendrick on his latest album, I can see why you think what you do, but GKMC was a damn near classic album.

QTip and A Tribe Called Quest has had a bigger impact on rap than anyone. Just ask pharrell, Kanye, or common. 3 very different artists who have attribute Tip as their biggest influence. You just gotta ignore The Love Movement for the most part...

If you don't see anything you are going to play in the next nine months, you already answered your question.

I'm not saying Q-Tip isn't a great rapper. The dude can spit. But so can Talib. I just wouldn't put his work up there with someone like Nas or even a Rakim whom I would say is more akin to Q than maybe Nas would be.

 

[eznark]

Rap peaked with Coast II Coast

 

[Ferny]

Nope. Totally serious post. The Low End Theory was fan-fucking-tastic, but they are not on that level in my opinion.

Last rap concert I went to Nas opened for A Tribe Called Quest, not the other way around.

Tribe is the George Washington of Mount Rushmore.

 

[Ferny]

So now you base rankings by who opens for whom?

Okay.

 

[BigAT]

Not even a single Kurtis Blow mention, fools.

 

[Ferny]

I always figured you were a Big Daddy Kane kind of guy, AT.

buy it now!

you'll force yourself to enjoy something for it!

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Okay.

I base rankings off who I feels the greatest of all time.

1. A Tribe Called Quest
2. The Beatles

You should watch that tribe documentary, the most universally respected artist amongst artists is Q-Tip.

 

[eznark]

Give how rapidly you make people fire you, I suggest not purchasing anything you had to work overtime for.

I picked up NBA 2k15 for cheap today on amazon

Yeah dude don't be so quick to dismiss Q-Tip. Forget about his later more mainstream stuff tho.

Edit: Dammit, that was supposed to go through a while ago, stupid internet here is fucked.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

You're from Chicago, right?

No, South Florida. What does that have to do with anything?

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

So the other day, I'm listening to the classic rap station on xm, and la di da di by slick Rick came on. Goddamn, how many rap songs sampled various parts of this song? I don't think any part of this song has not been sampled. Anyway, because of this fact, this song is the GOAT. Thank you and good day.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Slick Rick sounds like he's yawning while rapping. And I love it.

 

[Ferny]

I never dismissed Q-Tip, I said he & he alone isn't enough to be the measuring stick for rap....again, in my opinion.

No, South Florida. What does that have to do with anything?

Nothing at all, just was wondering.

Spoiler

Michael Redd was so broken in that game

[Purple Cheeto]

Madden and Batman because my PC is poop.

buy it now!

Maybe I should just buy games I would actually enjoy.

Every time Slick Rick comes on Backspin it makes me appreciate how much Rap has evolved.

 

[Ferny]

Slick Rick was the best story teller in RAP.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Slick Rick was the best story teller in RAP.

So, slick Rick was the Bob Dylan of rap?

Arguing about rap is a real good way to pick out people who have bad opinions on alot of things.

 

[brentech]

is GQ still playing the season?

lost in the shuffle

 

[TheCrow]

I just listen to gravediggaz, wu-tang and odb songs put on shuffle. Occasionally a random ranchera will play to mix things up. My music taste is impeccable.

Have you ever heard ranchera mixed with dubstep? AMAZING

 

[Jarate]

Ya'll just need to listen to Prog Rock, shit is top tier music

I had a weird physical reaction to what I heard. Somewhat akin to anger mixed with absolute disgust.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Are you a big fan of Coheed and Cambria and their 9th grade science fiction story lyrics?

lol yeah it's actually terrible.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Chris Brown has a song called "Bitches n Marijuana" lol I should really make my own playlist instead of just listening to the default hip hop one.

At some point i went through and added alot of songs manually into spotify from just looking through my ipod or phone or wherever else i had music. Took a long as time but it was worth it.

 

[Jarate]

Coheed and Cambria is basically a poor mans rush listened to high schoolers

I listen to good shit like Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso

That's what I started doing as soon as I heard that Chris Brown song. Is there a way to add a whole album or do I have to add each song individually?

I just remember him saying he was burnt out or something like that. I'll send him a message.

I knew a lot of cute girls who were into them back in HS. I didn't actually listen to them until much later. The lyrics are kind of bad.
