The Hip Hop/Rap Thread - Part 1

[MadVillainy]

Speaking of Jay-Z, how much do you guys wanna bet that sometime next year (probably Summer) that Jay Z and Kanye will drop Watch the Throne 2 or whatever they call it. There have been rumors of them working on it for a bit.

Both Jay and Ye dropped their respective albums this year with little warning or hype. Jay bragged on twitter about "new rules." Recently Beyonce dropped her album with no hype or announcement.

I can really see them just dropping the album one day next year

Best album of the year? I'm going with J Cole.

 

[DirtyHarry]

I don't know how I missed Big KRIT's "King Remembered in Time" but yeah, album of the year for me.

Edit: yeah its a mixtape but who cares lol.

Probably my favourite too. I honestly enjoyed Eminem's new album quite a bit as well, after months of writing him off. With a couple of duds shaved off the tracklist it'd have been a contender.


What are people looking forward to in 2014?

Really hoping Bishop Lamont's "The Reformation" actually releases this year. I've been listening to him for years but still haven't had a single album I can own.

Quite optimistic about a new Slaughterhouse album. They seem to be aware just how badly the last one turned out, and from the bits and piece I've heard it sounds like they've gotten back on track.

Not sure what Nas has going on this year, but I expect at least a "20th Year" re-release of Illmatic. New album, Lost Tapes 2? I'd take it all.

 

[Assassin32]

New music video from Northern California rapper Shaun P. Proud to say I directed this video.

I've been listening to a lot of Chance The Rapper lately.

Bishop Lamont dropped a street album like last week, call The (P)reformation. Check it out. But yeah, I can't wait for his debut.

Not really looking forward to the new Slaughterhouse after that last album.

Guys i made a music video to the song power by Kanye West (SUPERHERO THEME)

don't post videos with profanity. thanks

 

[Slick]

Anybody listen too that Schoolboy Q - Break the Bank. Yeah he killed it and Alchemist on the beat toot:

 

[sweetre15]

I'm honestly looking forward to SchoolBoy Q's Oxymoron album the most. On his own tracks Schoolboy seems to be killing it but I sometimes question why he resorts to that lazy sounding flow when he's a feature lately

right I was listening to his whole Setback mixtape as well as the Black Hippy on repeat. I'm looking forward to get his album although it does seem his flow does sound chill on the verge of lazy at times.

I'm listening to "Cocoa Butter Kisses" with Twista right now.

 

[RockSP]

New Pharoahe Monche joint "Bad Mother (bleep)er"...

Damn...I still need to get his last album.

 

[Captain Croatia]

No one talkin' 'bout how Kendrick killed it with Imagine Dragons?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^That SNL performance was amazing. All them dudes goin HAM on the drums, powerful stuff

50 hasnt been good since Get rich or die trying. Seems like the start of rappers careers are always their best music because of their hunger, then with success they just write any dumb lyrics that come to mind just to make a buck.

Coming next Tuesday

http://hiphop-n-more.com/2012/07/50-cent-new-day-feat-dr-dre-alicia-keys-single-artwork/

GRODT is one of my favorite albums, but 50 hasn't been good/decent in while imo. His flow has been off and his beat selection has be limited to amateur producers/wack beats. I don't know but I have a good feeling about this song. I hope it's produced by Dre and I hope of this album 50 collabs with more artists

 

[Hypestyle]

i'll have to check out black milk..
so much of what comes out nowadays is "mixtape/internet exclusive", I can scarcely keep up with what's an official album and what's not. Not to mention the fact that most of what I consider progressive/alternative rap isn't on the radio anymore.

 

[Maximus One]

Bought the new Weerd Science ep, Red Light Juliet: Broadcast 2 off bandcamp last week. Amazing little album

 

[Mr. Dent]

Don't know how I slept on ASAP Rocky this long, kid is dope. Stalley too.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ferg is my fav of the ASAP crew. I listen to Trap Lord at least once a week.
