Obie Trice's Bottoms Up is great. Pleasently surprised that he hasn't missed a step in his seperation from Shady.

Can't wait to get my hands on that album.

Unfortunately, the song I was looking forward to the most was the most disappointing IMO....."Richard" ft Eminem

Without sounding like a dick (no pun), what did you expect from that song title, especially after the past year of awful Eminem material?

I like the beat tbh.

Well since Eminem did do a good job with his Hell:The Sequel with Royce, I was hoping that at the very least his flow would be entertaining but he was completely lazy on this song.

"Black Up" is a great album.

I thought Eminem was almost uniformly awful throughout Hell: The Sequel. The only song I like on that is The Reunion.

"Theraflu" is even nastier

I liked Reunion, Welcome2Hell, Fast Lane, and A Kiss the most because his flow was a lot more fluid on that then it was on Recovery plus him and Royce Da 5'9 play off of each other well imo.

Yeah, I hate to say it, as Eminem is my favorite emcee of all time, but his last couple of guest verses are annoying as hell. He just keeps rapping about fast food and nonsense and is always yelling. I hope he doesn't ruin the Slaughterhouse album.

Indeed. Sick of hearing him being stingy at the drive-through. I expect to hear "Perhaps I ran them punchlines into the ground" on his next album.

Lol too true but I honestly think that if he fused the good qualities that Hell:The Sequel, Recovery, and Relapse had he'd atleast make a solid album for this point in his career.

Yeah there's still talent there, just hope he manages to pull together the good without adopting another frustrating bad or two along the way. I actually liked Relapse and Recovery, they're nowhere near as bad as Encore where he was lazy. I'm kinda hoping he decides to produce the bulk of his next lp, as it may inspire greater artistry.

 

[ComicChick]

surprisingly i really like the K'Naan/Nelly Furtado song Is There Anybody Out There

 

[MadVillainy]

I think Mercy is kinda meh/bad. Especially considered all the talen on the label and the song itself

Also the new TI song "Love this Life" isnt good to me either and Im a fan of his

 

[chamber-music]

I like Shabazz Palaces as well. Black Up is great.

I got into Asap Rocky associate SpaceGhostPurrp recentley. No Evidence and Lustful as great.

^^Looks like it will be good.

 

[CrypticOne]

Anyone listen to Jon Connor? He released a mixtape today over Eminem beats. So dope.

I agree, in fact I'm gonna ignore that project until the album drops. I don't imagine there's any other way to listen to a group compilation album. Singles couldn't possibly convey all the personalities in a satisfactory way.

I love SpaceGhostPurrp.I've been listening to him for like a year or 2 now.

I just watched The Tribe Documentary Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest and I had no idea Q-Tip and Phife don't really get along that well.

I'm willing to bet that Eminem's guest verses on the Slaughterhouse album will be dirty. You can say that he's garbage, but at least he demonstrates master lyricism and cohesive thoughts with his rhymes. He still does so much that other rapper cannot duplicate.

As far as now, I'm feeling ASAP Rocky. 'Goldie' feels like a spring/summer anthem.

Yeah, Eminem is still better than most of the stuff that's out today. But all his guest appearances have sucked to me and the songs would've been better without him on it. All he's been rapping about is fast food and Target and Payless. He's saying nothing. Yeah, his wordplay is crazy, but its annoying.

I've been bumping ASAP too. His songs Wassup and Demons are great. Can't get enough of those.
