The Hip Hop/Rap Thread - Part 1

[the last son]

Not a fan of born sinner. Haven't liked a full Cole effort since Friday night lights

 

[StarLord]

Anybody else listening to Yeezus?"Blood on the Leaves" is my favorite song so far.

I ****** love it.

'New Slaves' sounds so different compared to those recorded videos from the projections he did.

 

[chamber-music]

Loving Lupe Fiasco's Animal Pharm. Sounds like he is back on form.

I like Yeezus. I like that Kanye doesn't just put out the same stuff and is genuinely interested in bringing something new each album.

 

[henzINNIT]

Yeezus gave me a headache. I like Black Skinhead but I'm gonna give it a few more spins before I pass judgement on the album.

Born Sinner is great. Cole really delivered on this one.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah i dont like Yeezus that much. Black Skinhead was cool, New Slaves was alright, and Hold my Liquor really seems like it will grow on me. But other than that I was unimpressed. Maybe it needs a few more listens

 

[craigdbfan]

Really, really enjoying Yeezus. I keep replaying Guilt Trip.

The best part about this album are definitely the beats.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm loving Black Skinhead. Though, I'm not going to insult anyone's intelligence by pretending that I listened to it for any other reason than just really liking how it sounded in the Wolf of Wall Street trailer.

 

[kaypain]

who is NOAH CULTURE?






I'm really digging this

 

[the last son]

Yeesus was trash. I listened to about 20 minutes got bored and turned it off.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Really, really enjoying Yeezus. I keep replaying Guilt Trip.

The best part about this album are definitely the beats.

Agreed on all counts

 

[henzINNIT]

New Eminem verse on a Tony Touch project.... god he's so horrible now.

 

[chamber-music]

Favourite lyric from Kanye's new album "hurry up with my damn croissant"

 

[Charlie Boy]

I love the album, Bound 2 is most likely my favorite track.

 

[the last son]

Really feeling that Bruno Mars Treasure video.

 

[the last son]

nas just spit verse on let nas down remix

 

[Mr. Dent]

I like Born Sinner more than Friday Night Lights.

imo The Warm Up > Born Sinner > Friday Night Lights > Cole World

I love the album, Bound 2 is most likely my favorite track.

Well it is a old school Kanye track...

My favorite is probably New Slaves. I loved the whole album though as well. I can appreciate the different sound and in terms of lyricism every track is up there with his best stuff.

nas just spit verse on let nas down remix

Made Nas Proud

 

[Mr. Dent]

I really liked The Gifted. A definite step up from Ambition but it's still not Wale's best effort. I liked Folarin a lot more. Gifted started out strong, sort of mingled along in the middle, and then finished alright (although Black Heroes is my favorite track on the whole album).

Hopefully Wale will finally bring his best for an album on The Album About Nothing.

 

[MadVillainy]

best album released recently imo was Run the Jewels by Killer Mike and El-P. I strongly recommend it. Production and rhymes are very good. AND it's legally free

 

[Dr. Evil]

Maybe it's just me, but everytime I see Cee Lo Green on TV, I wonder "what the hell happened to the rest of the Goodie Mob?"

 

[MadVillainy]

they have a new album coming out in August

 

[chamber-music]

I posted about Goodie Mob's new stuff on previous page.

 

[KenK]

Full Agreement!

 

[Sun_Down]

Anybody else listening to Yeezus?"Blood on the Leaves" is my favorite song so far.

I'm borderline obsessed with this album. Hold My Liquor is probably my favorite. Bound 2, Blood on the Leaves and New Slaves are also standout tracks.

 

[The Apocalypse]

New Eminem verse on a Tony Touch project.... god he's so horrible now.

That was record in 2010....

Yeezus was alright but really it's the beats that saved it. Lyrically, it's one of Kanye's worst ever. "I am a god, So hurry up with my damn massage. And a French ass restaurant, hurry up with my damn croissant.". C'mon REALLY?

Born Sinner put me to sleep as per usual with most J-Cole. I certainly think Sideline Story was much better. Rise and Shine + God's Gift was such fire back to back. No song off Born Sinner stood out to me.

Here's to hoping J's album is good. I've been listening to it on Hot97 and it's been pretty good so far.

 

[craigdbfan]

I for one really enjoyed both Yeezus and Born Sinner.

The other album that I'm really having a good time with right now is Albert Einstein by The Alchemist and Prodigy.
