The Hip-Hop Thread

I thought Birdman and Lil Wayne were an item tho? Is it some petty shit?

They were, but at the end of the day it seems Birdman favors money over any, and everything. One glimpse at the way the Hot Boyz went awry, Mannie Fresh packed his shit and went South (quite literally), and artist in general having a problem with the company, and it ain't hard to tell were Baby stands on the matter.

Kanye is the GOAT

I'm just now getting into Logic this dude not bad I've been sleeping on him

Kanye x Drake Collab
What a Time to Watch the Throne, as Rosenberg said I think
Les go guys

Anyone saw T.I just dip from the Eric Andre show? lol

Kanye West da bes.

1. Birdman vs Suge Knight
2. Is Fetty Wop now passe
3. Do we have Lil B to thank for the mumble rappers?
4. Why did Future stand the test of time, for the past five years?
5. Lil Uzi Vert vs Desiigner

I heard this song, and it made mi wonder how this Mumble Era stacks up to the Jerkin' Era...

So ya hear that playboi carti? HUH?!

Complex's Everyday Struggles / Joe Budden & DJ Akademiks

I love this show...these two should have came together long ago...its awesome watching these dudes (the lady included) banter about stuff...

@superstay:

I loved that show especially how Joe Clowns Akademics in almost every debate.

I can't stand Akedemiks sometimes, he is the biggest Drake stand I've seen on YouTube. Granted Buden is a Stand of Drake but he knows where to draw the line.

I loved how he predicted DAMN would not make over 400,00 sales and then it proceeded to surpass More Life. Those push ups were golden

I just want another Apathy solo album or a Demigodz album.

@beast_mode999:

Yeah, I love the surprising chemistry between them...they both seem like they wouldn't get along enough to co-host...the two perspectives that they bring to discussions, it's funny to watch.

And, it was awesome watching Ak do those push-ups...

I'm currently loving Playboy Carti, Post Malone and X

@superstay:

I have no clue why he would bet DAMN A KENDRICK LAMAR ALBUM would sell under 400,000 copies. And the list of "Classics" he named were really just decent albums other than MBDTF.

@just_banter: Shizzy Sixx? Didn't know he was still alive. Lmao, you know what happened to his videos?

@necronn-: Stopped doing anime raps, and then the time between the releases of his normal tracks starting getting longer and longer. This was 3 months or so ago, so he's still doing stuff.

It's complete fire as well.

I mean his comedy videos. I thought he was funny as hell. The only one still up is his 9/11 story.

@necronn-: Only ever watched his anime ones tbh. I didn't even know he did comedy videos

So, if we had to rename this melody-focused, vibe-based, new style of rap (mumble rap) into its own legitimate genre...what should we name it.....

@beast_mode999: Well, we know Ak stans Drake hard, and K.Dot isn't Drake. So, of course he wouldn't full those big numbers...lol

d^_^b

LOL, this song is awesome.....

=====================================================

On a side note, I feel like we're witnessing the development of a new musical genre. Modern hip hop artist are kind of moving this 'mumble rap' sound into a new direction. In hindsight, I think we may be witnessing a exodus from hip hop and into a new area...

I miss the Based God...

Anyone in this thread onto Stormzy? Not a grime guy myself but the big man Stormz is class

So everyone including me is using Gucci Gang as the butt of all jokes now.

He is extremely popular in the U.K right now. I started off on a Grime wave in my early teens, I went U.S side and now I'm coming back into it a bit. I think Stormzy is nice, but some of it is right place right time, and Shut Up just blew up.

I am a pretty big fan of Wiley tbh. I thought the Godfather was an excellent album and I also dig alot of his older projects. Very close behind is someone called President T, who in Grime terms is something very different (A northern, midlands inflextion, slower more delibrate rhymes, laced with punchlines). I first heard him on Joe Bloggs off the Godfather actually and have been bumping his music ever since.

I also like JME (Seen him). Big Narstie, Delvin (Espicially in the past), Ghetts (Seen him), Proff Green (Seen him) and a few others.

UK Drill is exploding right now, any of you guys listened to some?

Oddisee got da beats:

Mah boi deserves some attention

Plain Jane is so dope

Jadakiss and Fabolous got an album out.

Classic Hip Hop And R & B

Yea Giggs mostly. And contray to popular belief, that Roadman shaq song is a drill song, rather than a Grime song.

Was Raekwon's Immobilarity A Bad Album ? I Thought It Was Pretty Good Myself.

How do I get rid of Migos...

Saw Giggs at Parklife, f***ing sick!

Shit I need to go the UK... we have zero good drill rappers still in the game that I know of.

Shit man that's cool as frack

@giliad_: I might have asked before but are you

@laflux: Pyro? Sorry lad but I'm not into it. What do you mean?

No I meant if you where the alt of a user called @pyrogram :P

@laflux: Oh nah... I'm sounder though :) (@darkseid1006) is my alt

Eminem is dropping a new album

The fact that it does feature Yelawulf, any of Slaughterhouse or his new signees is beyond disappointing. In fact that track list is disappointing as heck too. Let's hope this double disc theory is true

That Tracklist For Eminem's Revival Looks Terrible. It Better Be A Double Disc Album Otherwise I Will Skip This Crap. I Mean His First Single "Walk On Water" Was Such A Lackluster Track IMO. Sort Of Let Me Down With Slim Shady.

Yea. None of the features wowed me. Ngl it seems a little pop rappy, nothing inherently wrong with that, but yea......
