New Hip Hop!!

[Lex Diamonds]

When Bronson dropped Bird On A Wire as his encore in London back in December I just stopped dancing and leaned on the barrier. I don't condone that shit. Action noticed and looked kinda hurt... I told him don't worry bro I still love you.

[Helvete]

That's cold, Padster. Cold.

[pshabi]

He is part of the problem in terms of the majority of people thinking rap is dumb, ignorant, shitty music with no real cultural roots.

His beats suck donkey cock.

I've never heard him drop what could be described as a decent bar... quote some?


Riff has had some sick beats handed to him. Nice nice beats.

[Micodin]

Riff has had some sick beats handed to him. Nice nice beats.

I concur. He pays top dollar for them, but they're dope.

People think rap is dumb, ignorant, shitty music, because like yourself right here, they are judgmental and care too much about the way someone else looks or off or just hearing one thing. just like some people i know that say the beastie boys suck because all they know is fight for your right and intergalactic, when they are much more than that.

hes part of what is pushing rap forward imo. the rap game is saturated with the same old bullsht. there are very few new artists that come out these days that are worth anything, and thats because so much of it has been done before then and has done much better. Thats what makes Bronson so good, hes on his own shit. ALL these dudes fuck with Riff for a reason.

people who think rap shitty have thought and will continue to think it regardless of riff. for the select few that think that BECAUSE of riff, they are judging a book by its cover.

don't go listen to those on some bullshit labtop speakers. give them their proper listens if your going to talk head about it.

if you listen to all of those with an open mind you'll find 1. those beats are all dope and 2. that hes saying some shit that makes you think twice and rewind that shit. hes not the basic rap format that people have been trying to recreate (unsuccessfully for the most part). hes on his own level.



the hate he gets is ironic, he gets hated on for the way he looks and how he comes across, which in the rap game mostly populated by african americans who had to face the same shit for so many years. now because hes on his own shit and hes different he gets hated on. it would be one thing if he was just playing a character or joking on shit, but what you see is who he is.

[Lex Diamonds]

First one I went to listen to he's just shouting "chain wetter than a pool" over some Sega Master System type backing track... not for me.

And I've already heard Larry Bird, Versace Python and Hot Shots Part Deux a few times. I just don't get it man. The beats that aren't absolutely terrible are just OK, nothing more.

And his appearance/persona is kinda charming. If he had talent it would set him apart from the crop nicely.

[checkyourprez]

yeah the first two were def trap beats. after that they vary.



the only thing i can say about him (without seeming more like i stan that i already am, i realize this) is that in the beginning i did kinda think of him as a joke. like who is the guy kidding. some stuff was catchy. but the more i listened to it the more i dug it. yeah there are some bad songs, but hes putting them out at a prolific rate in the last year, like 90 tracks hes put out. plus he is definitely improved from his early stuff.

basically don't not give him a chance because you might think hes a joke or whatever, hes just doing his own shit. world would be a better place if their were less followers and more trendsetters ya know what i mean.

[Lex Diamonds]

I can respect that. If he ever releases something I like then I'll admit it, too. For now though he's setting trends that I'd rather just weren't there.

[Guy Incognito]

some good talk in here. I have heard a handful of Riff Raff tracks and i dont really get it. The old fart in me thinks its just so removed from what i think hip hop should be but i suppose thats because i am an old fart, it just feels contrived rather than natural.

[checkyourprez]

pretty funny youtube comment with some truth behind it by some black dude on one of his videos...

"shit if all white people were like this they'd be real niggas instead of bein pretend thugs... riff raff is the eminem of his genre his not a killer or an upset all the time type of nigga.. hes laid back chill partying tpye shit havin fun jokin doin funny whiteboy shit.. every black person has a white friend like riff whos genuinely just off the wall funny as hell always drugged out jackass type shit"



off the controversal rap subject known as riff raff for a second......


U-God recently put out an album towards the end of July if anyone is interested in a more traditional hip hop sound...

fire ft. scotty wotty and method man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihKjjh0UO9w) scotty wotty is dope imo and can only be found in recorded form on the last 2 u-god albums. former crackhead but dude whose always been down from what ive read.

riff raff - obtuse angle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPBs8coSGzY)

sorry crunk at a festival on my street and duh riff got me. kinda tech'noey beat.

"Carpal tunnel cars and tunnels, the summer cold, tundra
Be prepared to bundle stomach crunches and lunges
Lunches in dungeons, thunder from down under, disgruntle
Longevity, lunar eclipses, gypsy style travel
Trapezoid travel bags, terrified tandems
Can't fathom my phenom, my python venomous,
Dennis the menace dimensions
Ignorant Lima beans the size of time machines
We diced on ice on devices made by Nike, night lights
Made from carbon.
Copy Swiss rockets, my pitches, side of lockets of necklace
Of orphans eating porridge outside of the queen's fortress
Who can afford portions but refuse to purchase
Soul components for the young and unfortunate"


wuuuut


that whole verse was ill tho


on some outside the box shit. like not comparing to rakim just like entertainment wise. ill.

really enjoyed all of them.

After seeing neato i have a bit more time for RR.

Wasnt sure about the dirt nasty track at first but the line about the tabasco was a good un.

Wolf tits. What a name. track was ok.

[Lex Diamonds]

Yeah, I think Neato's the only track I'd actually listen to without the video. Still, they're all funny as fuck...

CYP that verse looks kinda ill, but some of it is too disjointed to make sense... I get it's music to be fucked up to but I don't really do drugs and clubs like that anymore.

Also, I can't fuck with that beat. Imagine cruising with that bumping out the whip... naaah.

This.

[pshabi]

Obtuse angle blows. If I'm bumping riff in the whip I'm thinking more along these lines:

I can tell stories (http://youtu.be/4EdViQm0J74)

ROTY (http://youtu.be/1RrKXSyC1II)

NonStop (http://youtu.be/qzUnZjUqF8E)

Shit like that amongst others.

[checkyourprez]

obtuse angle is a dope song. not for bumping in the whip. more for doing some drugs and fucking with glow sticks or some shit.


but thats riff, you can't put him in a box like that.

Time is a fucking awesome song, but you wouldn't bump that in the whip either. same thing with electric shark (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDLQYdvEMlE) they're good songs, just different.


like hes got so much shit in the past couple years, theres stuff i've still never heard. the ROTY song was new to me, and dope.

rap game james franco (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlydTf5bJdo)

[Lex Diamonds]

I still can't decide whether he thinks he's good or not.

[checkyourprez]

i dont think he looks at himself in those terms. im sure he has confidence in his style (which is no doubt all his own). he just does him tho.


in some interview where the host was on some reverse racism and going at him for how he looked he was just kinda like this is why i dont mess with humans. (paraphrasing) but basically he was like im about making money, girls, drugs, and having fun.

like if your not with that or want to hate take it elsewhere basically, life is too short for all that in his, and my opinion.

[Micodin]

I used to like RiFF RaFF but after seeing him live I've changed my position.

I like him in small does like Three Loco and guest apperiences. But, I can't get into a whole mixtape like I used to.

But... Action Bronson & Danny Brown touring together??? Show of the year for me!

[pshabi]

That is gonna be a dope ass show. Danny is funny as hell.

I'm ashamed to admit, but I am just now (like 2 weeks ago)giving Action a proper listen. I like that track off Saaab stories with wiz (amongst several others.) Hope the dude keeps blowing up.

Marty Jannetty!

The SAAAB STORIES stuff was a bit disappointing considering it was him and Harry Fraud, two of my favorite artists atm, it wasn't bad at all, just didn't live up to the hype (my own hype I suppose). He has much better work out there in my opinion, Blue Chips is a must listen.


I think I'm going to try and catch the 2 High 2 Die tour in Saratoga, its a friday so I should be able to make it down.

[Micodin]

Strictly 4 My Jeeps was the best song off of Saaab Stories because it was that NYC rap shit. That wavy shit Fraud does works well with French but with Bronson it gets boring after a couple joints.

Bronson has classic records with Tommy Mas, Party Supplies, Alchemist and even Static Selektah. If he never works with Fraud again I'd be happy. I prefer listening to Action ride on breakbeats and flipped samples than the hollow shit Fraud makes.

I've seen Bronson twice and he's great. I haven't had a chance to see Danny Brown yet so I'm amped. My current two favorite rappers on the same bill. I'll be at the Philly show for sure and maybe the Boston show because it'll be on my friends birthday.

[pshabi]

Jeeps is that NY shit for real! Reminds me of Made You Look. Good shit.

[Micodin]

Jeeps is that NY shit for real! Reminds me of Made You Look. Good shit.

Every Sunday in my Tuesday leather.

[Lex Diamonds]

It's weird to imagine that some people are hearing Saaab Stories as their first experience of Bronson. It just doesn't do him or his style any justice at all.

[Micodin]

It's mostly Vice's fault. It was supposed to be a free LP like his other one producer projects and then the label got involved because of the buzz Jeeps was getting. Vice wouldn't clear the samples and shortened it to a EP.

The entire project as a whole was probably pretty dope. But when label heads get involved that usually fucks things up.

Hopefully the OG version of Saab Stories (without the extra fucking a) leaks at some point.

Dope song. Great verses by Kendrick and Jay Elec. But verse of the year is stretching it.

I'm going to the Philly and Boston shows of the Danny Brown & Action Bronson 2 High 2 Die tour if anyone wants to link up.

hence my quotations. it was alright but everyone he named dropped in that song minus pusha t, and i guess big krit arent even really that good of rappers. they are all mainstream no less.

even if he was going that route and wanted to go head hunting go at Jay or Wayne.


but dudes like bronson, roc marcy etc are lightyears ahead rapping. kids good, but kids head is getting big imo.


thats dope your going to that show, twice no less. still crossing my fingers the saratoga show gets back on the tour but i doubt it.

Yeah, I think it's good for hip hop. Get people hyped about music is good. I know his intentions were good because he has to know that he could get murked by anyone he named (or didn't name).

new juicy j - stay trippy dropped today

i like it. although the album is somewhat one dimensional. making money, fuckin yo bitch, drinkin lean, smoking swishers. im cool with all that but you know.


bounce it ft. wale and trey songz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgSH3LPfo6g) lead single, kinda has that vibe, but its catchy

smokin rolling ft. pimp C (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TidpFbBqGU)

wax (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS4skhEj020) uses the i get high sample from the styles p song from back in the day.



overall even thought the subject matter is a bit monotonous, juicy is still a good rapper with a unique voice (which counts for something in my book, it is a rappers "instrument" after all).

[checkyourprez]

new the lox - summer's too hot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR7J8HFICx8)


always nice to hear the lox. pretty good stuff. lab top speakers don't do the beat justice.

[checkyourprez]

Big Sean put out a new album last week. He is certainly is one of the new age of rappers, but one I can actually stand. Unique voice helps with that, and as Guru said, its mostly the voice.

Toyota Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jdj5kKZZCg) this beat is real dope

Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOXp8dV_vCs) one of the singles. more radio friendly, catchy song.

First Chain ft. Nas and Kid Cudi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRnedmmp-84)

Switch up ft. Common (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eQ4zzJv120)

and of course the Control song with Jay Elec and Kendrick, where Kendrick puts all commercial rappers on notice is also on the album.


This wont be everyone's cup of tea, but its decent for what it is.

[Lex Diamonds]

I mean, the first three at least used to be good but Rozay? No excuse for that.

[checkyourprez]

i listen to everything. i used to be a hip hop snob but that shits dumb.

all those dudes put out good music, not all is good but doesn't mean they can't be listened to. and just because your not feeling it, doesn't make it not good.


i also don't continue to add to this thread for your benefit alone. im sure there are people out there who do like this stuff. i try and keep what i post pretty diverse. but i don't know if you realized but rakim, slick rick, mf doom etc aren't really pumping out new music these days.


when the new wu album comes out, ill be posting that stuff, same with the necro and kool g rap album and the action bronson and party supplies fueled blue chips 2.


speaking of party supplies he put out a good album (Tough Love) recently, hes not a hip hop producer by trade. which blows my mind he laced bronson with such heat for blue chips. so these aren't hiphop that im about to post but it is good 80s sounding snything, electro, poppy type stuff.

Think you missed what I was saying (you posted rappers from the 90s and earlier like that's all I'm into)... I wasn't talking about when it was made or the era it represents or whatever... I was saying the music you're listening to is shit. Like, there's literally millions of better tracks out there.

[checkyourprez]

and im saying its not shit. haha like what dont you get about that?


you are not the be all end all of whats good music. i've seen you post stuff i consider shit but i dont care to really say anything about it bc im not pretentious about what other people chose to listen to.

new shit that i like i post. some people feel it, some dont. its whatever.

some new singles..

Willie the Kid - Glasses of Water (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAtMee-zHLg) good shit here, nice fresh prince sample.

Not 100% sure about Yo Gotti but i listened to it about an hour ago and its still in my head.

[checkyourprez]

appreciate the fact you take the time to listen to stuff i post guy. and even in that last post you proved my point, you really liked one, didnt like one, and were surprised and found one catchy enough to still be thinking about it.


the rick ross stuff, yo gotti types that i post i know are not the most lyrical and can put out some bad stuff. but in the end music is just like movies if you are entertained by it then why not just allow yourself to enjoy it for what it is.

Napoleon dynamite and the godfather are very different movies and invoke different feelings but they are both good in their own ways. i dont have to compare Napolean to the godfather, i can just enjoy them both. no different than with two rappers who dont have much in common besides both being rappers.

Madlib is obvi a legend and I fux with Freddie Gibbs.


I like what I'm hearing. The two are putting out an album together, the guests look insane. With Madlibs beats, which you know are always on point, and the guests, this looks very promising...

Piñata is scheduled for February 4, 2014 on Madlib Invazion. The album will feature Raekwon, Scarface, Danny Brown, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Joey Bada$$, Ab Soul, BJ The Chicago Kid, Meech of Flatbush Zombies, Casey Veggies, Mac Miller, Polyester the Saint, G-Wiz.

wow.

Looks like Madlib will also be in Europe for a couple dates the next 2 months. Go see him if you can.

Also, can someone point me in the direction of where you get a lot of this stuff, is it just a case of going on you tube and knowing about the artists or are there websites that tip you off on this stuff?

[checkyourprez]

to be honest i get a lot of stuff from my sirius xm radio. they have 3 really good rap stations. its well worth the subscription overall.

[Micodin]

I go to Nahright.com a lot.

My Facebook friends and I usually trade songs by posting them on each other's feeds.

I got my fiend into Danny Brown a while back and he got me on to Action Bronson before Dr. Lecter dropped.

got tickets to see Rakim in ruff buff at the end if November. really looking forward to seeing the GOD mc.

Roc Marci - The Pimpire Strikes Back (http://www.audiomack.com/album/xclusiveszone/the-pimpire-strikes-back)

mixtape leadup to his new album. Roc might be tops in the game right now.

[Micodin]

Roc might be tops in the game right now.

Come on, Kid. Ain't nobody really outside of the Tri-state area really checking for Roc. I think his new tape is good and all that but his buzz isn't clicking like Boldy James, Freddie Gibbs, and every other coke rapper out there.

If you've been keeping up with the Boldy and Alc record and the shit Gibbs and Madlib have been doing than you know deep down in your heart that Roc is not on the starting 5. Maybe a 6th man. Maybe...

[checkyourprez]

naaah bro. i been on boldy since i heard jimbo like 2/3 years ago. and freddie too, ive got the madlib stuff and some other tapes. i really like them both.


but roc, is on another level then them and almost everyone else. all the real rap heads in my area and on some of the other forums i visit praise him like he is legit the best rapper out. now im not going to go quite on that limb, but he is defiantly slaying shit with his slickness and lyrics.


that was just a mixtape for his upcoming album. but it was def polished enough to stand as an actual lp.

The problem with Pimpire (I can't believe I Just typed that) and almost all of Roc's shit is that it's that you get the same old same old every record. The formula never changes. Every song has a soul sample loop and the same tempo.

It just gets boring to me. I cherry picked a couple of songs off it and put it in my playlist but I can't listen to the entire record front to back. Compare that to a Blue Chips 2 where you have (in my opinion) creativity going on. Different tempos, odd choices for samples, all kinds of crazy shit.

I think Roc is nice with it. But, he's still sitting the pine until his formula changes up a little bit.

[Lex Diamonds]

Don't get how anyone could think Boldy & Gibbs are better than Roc Marc. 3 ill rappers but Roc is on a different level.

[Micodin]

Don't get how anyone could think Boldy & Gibbs are better than Roc Marc. 3 ill rappers but Roc is on a different level.

I personally think Gibbs especially has more flair and personality than Roc. Roc is nice but his monotone raps are sounding the same record after record.

I like what I like. I don't have to explain myself to you Lil Debbie mofos.

Roc Marciano - Marci Beaucoup


is out as of yesterday.

hes got a guest on basically every track. something he said he wanted to do to big up people he likes working with. which i can appreciate. as opposed to a lot of these commercial rappers who just get all other commercial rappers on every song on that chance that one of them is a hit.

[Micodin]

Sorry CYP, not feeling it. From the interview I read he had a lot of features on this LP to showcase his production. I applaud the fact he produced the entire album. I'd love for him to drop the instrumentals for this record. But it's too busy of LP for me to get my head around. Two tracks with Knowledge the Pirate? Maffew Ragazino? Come on, son. Your rolodex has to be better than that.

I fuck with 4,5,6, (feat. Action Bronson) and Trying to Come Up (feat. Boldy James)

If I was a Pitchfork reviewer I'd give it a 6.9 or some shit.

I saw Jody's album got pushed back. He gave some reasons on twitter, but I wonder if it's cause it sucks? The couple of tracks he has released recently were sub par. How to Be the Man, the track with Debbie, and the other one from last week were not his best. The third one really sucked.

i think you're really selling him short dog. like he legit throws creative bars together and a lot of the production he gets is good.

the hologram panda album is legit nice front to back. obviously some songs being better than others.

i don't look at him like a rapper, that needs to do things a certain way or he can't be taken seriously. i see him just as an entertainer. the music hes making is enjoyable.

Let Me Drive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG-qC4lxFE8) this is another new track of his. man i would honestly rather bump this than a lot of shit real talk.

[pshabi]

The beat on that is nice, but there is 1 verse! I'm getting sick of that formula from him. 1 long intro chorus, 1 short verse, 1 break, long outro chorus.

And please keep "lobster tail" out of all future bars.

yeah, i was surprised at only the one verse, and the placement. maybe if it was in the middle of the song it makes it come off better but regardless thats something i would listen to again.

i like that he does his own hooks and they come off good as opposed to eminem who does his own hooks and they come off pretty shitty usually.



i will also concede he does have some repeating lines in his raps, lobster tail, candy paint, bring out the rice, versace anything, some others. but again it doesn't bother me.

[Micodin]

To each his own. I'm good. I won't even cop his shit on Pirate Bay. My time is limited and I just can't fit in everything.

I'm over all this Versace swag rap bullshit. I can't relate. I could give a shit about iced out chains, sneakers, cars, molly, etc.

I recently just listened to Mac Miller's new shit because my homeboy was trying to put me on. Now, that guy can rap. He murders that Clams Casino joint.

Anyways, I'm prob just old and set in my ways. I enjoyed some or Mr. RaFF's old shit, some of the Three Loco shit, the old Bronson colabs. The new over produced shit I'm not feeling.

I still think he won't sell over 50 stacks in the first week.

Steady rotation right now is...

Step Brothers, Bronson, Schoolboy Q, and my own shit (shameless self promoting).

Anyhoo, I love you fucks.

[pshabi]

Schoolboy seems to be heading in the overproduced, commercial direction. Mac Miller can spit. Anytime I hear him I'm like, man, that was a dope 16! I just haven't got into the catalog at all. If there is one. (I legit have no idea).

[Micodin]

I only have "Watching Movies with the Sound Off".

It's supposed to be a more serious grown up hip-hop record and less of his frat-boy bullshit.

Anything from T.D.E. nowadays is going to be top notch. The songs I've heard off of Oxymoron is far from overproduced, commercial direction.

Collard Greens? Dope.

Brake the Bank produced by Alchemist. Dope.

I'm sure there will be some radio friendly cuts, but it's no MikeWillMadeIt bullshit.

Here's some shit I can't stop playing recently. Some new, some old.


Soulo & Bam (http://youtu.be/7gSt7WzpfZs)

Gambino fire, awesome vid (http://youtu.be/tG35R8F2j8k)

Bino again - sick video again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExVtrghW5Y4)

TDE's answer to Frank Ocean (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3YzYRgrIRU)

I've been getting more into King Krule- his album is fucking amazing, although not all hip-hop. Here's a remix he did for Angel Haze. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgejmc4TulI)

STILL bumping this. Saw Chance live when I was in SF, amazing show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mtA9GvpzwU)

[Micodin]

The Piñata instrumentals are in serious rotation right now.

Blue Chips 2 until Mr. Wonderful drops.

[Lex Diamonds]

I can't listen to Blue Chips 2 anymore; I think I over-indulged when it came out (...for about 3 months) then I saw the tour and now I feel like that chapter's done. I have been finding myself going back to Bon Appetit more and more... I think some of the shit off there is his most creative lyrically. This track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNsK3tQ1-1U) alone is better than Saaab Stories and Well Done put together.

[Micodin]

I took a break from Blue Chips 2 after the tour and was on the Mac Miller, Earl, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, Pusha T, and some old Clipse wave for a while.

I don't fuck with Well-Done or Saab Stories much. Even Bronson has gone on record not liking Saab. Something to do with the label not willing to clear a bunch of the samples and asking for more radio tunes i.e.: The Rockers. Then they failed on promoting it.

I think the Blue Chips series is where he's at his comfort level now a days. I heard Party Supplies has a bunch of beats on Mr. Wonderful.

Dr. Lecter is classic status tho.

Personally I like the remix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pne-f8TZ0co) better.

[Lex Diamonds]

Nahhh man! That original beat is a fuckin' thing of beauty...

[Micodin]

Haha. The original and the remix is by the same producer.

I like the OG and it's in my early AB playlist. But, that organ sample is ill.

[Lex Diamonds]

No worries, lemme know what you're feeling man.

[Guy Incognito]

this threads dried up a bit. i need something new to listen to.

[Micodin]

The new Run the Jewels joint is ill as fuck. You can find it on their website, free download.

My favourite song, right now.

[Micodin]

New Kendrick. (https://soundcloud.com/topdawgent/i-1)

Not sure how I feel about it. Personally I think Yauch went harder over this sample on Year and a Day...

[camo]

Can anyone recommend me some choice 90's Hip Hop in the vein as Binary Star? You know, samples, no gangster nonsense..

Thanks!

FIRE.

[Lex Diamonds]

I love the concepts they come up with and the features they get but for some reason the production just aint hitting with me. Sounds like some weak 2008 club music.

[Micodin]

I couldn't disagree more! EL-P is killing it so far with this record. He's 3 for 3 for what they've released imo. The beats are meaner and louder than their last RtJ and solo records.

I can't wait to see them live next month! It should be a killer show!

[Micodin]

And that Vince Staples "Hell Can Wait" EP?

Wooooooooooooo! Call the fire marshall. That shit is on fire!

[Lex Diamonds]

To be fair I have always disliked El-P's music. I tried really hard to like him when I'll Sleep When You're Dead dropped and everyone on the rap internet raved about it but he's always just been some corny wannabe who takes himself too seriously to me.

Mind blown!

Seen em live at the start of the year. So fun. I loved it, they loved it, we all loved it!

Spun Funcrusher Plus for the first time in a long time the other day. Not new, but still sicker than most.

[Lex Diamonds]

So, you've never listened to Company Flow?

Mind blown!
Company Flow was nothing like El-P's solo stuff or RTJ. C'mon son.

Regardless, I still never liked El-P as a rapper. Same way I don't like Atmosphere, Das Racist or a bunch of others people rate. The odd song is nice but they just don't appeal to me somehow.

[camo]

And like Ryan. We're Dunn.

he's always just been some corny wannabe who takes himself too seriously to me.

I've always seen him as being super dry. The only thing that made me think otherwise was some cringeworthy argument he and copywrite had on a tour bus over some litter. Shits hard to watch.

Btw Tuned Mass Damper has been my ringtone for nigh on 3 years now. Such a beat.

So you're saying you have listened to the classic Funcrusher Plus, his solo stuff (also classic) and RtJ (classic) and you're not a fan? C'mon son. Then why do you continue to listen? Life is too short.

Anyhoo, you like what you like. As long as I don't have to listen, go nuts.

ps. his production on Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music can't be fucked with. I don't care what you say. He deserves a star on the walk of fame for that shit.

pps. Atmosphere and Das Racist (RIP) are nowheres near the lane EL-P is in. Their names shouldn't be in the same sentence as his. Listen to his 16 in Piss Test. Dude murders it.

pppppppps. I went to the Company Flow reunion show and El-P sounded like El-P and they all went hard.

ppppppppppppppppppppps. I'm bored, EL can stick up for himself. I have no dogs in this race.

I don't care for Atmosphere but I think Heems is a genius.

In similar news…I wish Despot would just release a fuckin' album already.

He's been working on it forever now. Ratatat is producing the entire record.

Yeah, I'm not too happy about that. I was hoping for something a little more 90's.

[pshabi]

Wtf how did I miss this Action Bronson Easy Rider shit. Was it really not mentioned here? I just typed him into Spotify search and found it. Can't stop listening.

For some reason my phone isn't copy/pasting YouTube links but damn, worth a listen!

[pshabi]

Cot Damn those late two verses and the guitar solo in the outro. Best track I've heard in years.

[Micodin]

New Hail Mary Mallon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRGz1b9M9u0)!

Yes!!!

Got to listen to this on a long car ride the other day. Pretty good.

[abbott]

to many beers
https://soundcloud.com/gratedchocolate/ipa

[pshabi]

Any idea on when Mr wonderful is supposed to drop?

[Lex Diamonds]

Early '15.

[abbott]

sorry, too many beers, I deleted that shit

[Michelle*s_Farm]

Wow, what a wild song and video. Death Grips' new track "Inanimate Sensation" (http://youtu.be/r5GCn1BKkxg)

[Lex Diamonds]

I found this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq9ZH_hDFe4) shitty video on my laptop from the first time I saw Bam Bam in 2012. He performed an exclusive preview of It's Me off of Blue Chips 2 like a year before it was released... I spent months trying to find a studio recording of that shit. He also jumped in the crowd and started a conga line but that's pretty much expected.

[Lex Diamonds]

Someone else's (better) video of the same shit here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-fElqj2cD0&list=PLCVWWPBUOh2spCO4nLSuucqjlFHyyhpzj&index=5).

[abbott]

been a Action Bronson fan for a while ... since that video where he does kung fue on that piece of shit....

dont seem to find much of his shit on the shelf in my small town

[Micodin]

Mr. Wonderful tracklist:

1. Brand New Car

10. Only In America
11. Galactic Love

13. Easy Rider

Featuring: Chance the Rapper, Party Supplies, Meyhem Lauren, Big Body Bes and Chauncy Sherod.

[pshabi]

Bronson's Actin Crazy is dope.

[Lex Diamonds]

Bronson's Actin Crazy is dope.
Co-sign, it's a great record. To me it's one of his more personal songs even though he keeps the content ridiculous. That chorus is ill.

[Micodin]

The beat is fucking huge! I can't wait to hear the sonics of this record. Easy Rider and Actin Crazy sound nothing like each other. But both are great records. He rarely raps on wack beats. This record will be HUGE!

[pshabi]

I agree! I listened to it on blast in the car on the way to dinner last night. Can't wait for this album. Is there a definitive date?

[Micodin]

March 24, 2015.

[Lex Diamonds]

New A$AP album is pretty decent. The two album closers Everyday (https://youtu.be/UtZBA1bVbcs) (dat Rod Stewart sample) and Back Home (https://youtu.be/mGPUWwXDD6U) (with mighty Mos) are the highlights for me- looks like they wanted the LP to end on a strong note.

Alchemist's new beat tape Israeli Salad (http://www.okayplayer.com/news/alchemist-israeli-salad-instrumental-lp-mp3.html) is super nice too. Inspired by a trip to Israel 4 years ago and only just surfacing now, it's an atmospheric, polished reminder that Alchemist is one of the greatest to ever produce hip-hop music.

If you haven't already, listen to the Badbadnotgood x Ghostface album Sour Soul (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI5rbMDrL3I). I went to see them perform live together a couple weeks ago and Ghost fits the lounge band leader, blues/jazz frontman role perfectly. The Canadian band backed him exxcellently on a trip through his whole back catalogue and even tackled tracks like Shimmy Shimmy Ya, Kick In The Door and The World Is Yours while Ghost did his best NYC greats karaoke.

Although it came out the same time as Mr Wonderful, Earl (https://youtu.be/O1HjpJ1BHso)'s new album got totally slept on here. Thought I should mention it as he is one of, if not the greatest poetic lyricist in hip-hop right now.

[Micodin]

I agree with sleeping on his album. I copped it the day it dropped. Listened to it on the way home from NYC to Maine about 4 times. Haven't been back to it since.

L$D is fave track off of ALLA. I agree about Everyday. Shit it tight.

I've been mostly listening to Jamie xx and Hudson Mowhake's new LP's.

I'm looking forward to Vince Staples debut LP a lot.

[Lex Diamonds]

Vince is literally the only person on the XXL Freshmen cover that I'm aware of and listen to. Does that mean I'm old now? Album will be nice regardless.

L$D is a big track. Definitely going for that Gambino, Weeknd, Frank vibe with that one. In fact, the more I listen to it the more I think ALLA is a perfect impression/compilation of all the styles out in hip-hop right now seen through Rocky's eyes. And he makes them all really, really mysoginistic.

[Micodin]

And he makes them all really, really mysoginistic.

To the point it turns me off sometimes.

[Guy Incognito]

ok so this isnt technically new hip hop but its best here. I think you lot will love it. if you struggling with it, at least check it out from 3:55 onwards. Hip hop history orchestra!!!

[Micodin]

Anyone following the Meek and Drake back and forth?

I thought Back to Back was the strongest so far.

[Micodin]

Compton.

[Lex Diamonds]

Round-up:

Drake killed Meek, Popa Wu embarrassed himself, Gangrene & Mick Jenkins released dope shit, Dre dropped flames, the NWA movie completely rewrote their history and Sean P Da God died which is absolutely devastating.

[Micodin]

Gangrene, Compton, Retarded Alligator Beats, CZARFACE, House of Bricks, Ratatat, DonMonique, and my own shit for the past little while.
