good hip hop

[benriya]

Marley hooked Rae up with Pyrex Vision. If only it was longer.

Agreed. Pyrex Vision is the best song off the album, yet so short.

The downgrading and desecration of art on all levels can be seen as a means of turning the clarity of the collective consciousness into mere noise and blur.

[Augustus]

LOL you take this too seriously.

[villain]

from the album sampler I heard I thought it would some good headphone music but it doesn't sound the same

[kaws&effect]

lol @ recent posts

smh @ blueprint 3

so phony

[ktothe]

What was phony about BP3?

[NESK]

needs more blog hype/auto-tune/neon sneaker.

[mike lowrey]

What was phony about BP3?

the production felt a bit half-assed, his lyrics a bit generic at times, poor coherence all together...it just doesn't flow imo.

what I think is phony though, is claiming death of autotune while resorting to so many gimmicks. . rihanna chorus, played out vocal effects (A Star is Born, Haters), crappy Swizz beatz track, weak feats, and Young Forever? come on...

I'm not hating on anyone for liking the album, but it just doesn't work for me. first Jay album in 13 years I wont be buying.

[NESK]

that mayer hawthorne record sounds awesome. not hip hop, but stones throw put it out.

[JL77]

Not sure if anyone has talked about the Diz Gibran album that he put out a few months ago. You can listen to it in its entirety here: http://diznmoon.com/

Some really good tracks on there.

half the album's lyrical content is about dreams you dummy

i think it's a great album. cudi has a style all his own that's refreshing to hear, and coupled with the progressive production team behind it all it's the most interesting release i've heard in a while..

[heflys]

Yeah, I find myself pleased with Cudi's shit; eventhough I hated most of Kanye's latest album. Haven't really heard Jay-z's shit, and Raekwon's album is good, but not a classic. I guess I'll listen to it some more.

Wu-Tang Clan “Triumph†(1997)

DIRECTOR’S COMMENTARY: “It was the first million dollar rap video. When Steve Rifkind asked me, I said, ‘Are you sure about this record? There’s no chorus!’ He says “Trust me, its gonna be the biggest record of the year. Only Wu-Tang could pull this off.’ So, I set up the video—Joseph Kahn was my cinematographer. I hear that they want eleven Suburbans—they each want their own. They each also want $50,000 worth of gear, and they told me all their designers. So first day, these guys are walking in one at a time, and each guy walks into the dressing room, and walks out with plastic bags filled with all the clothes. I called Steve like, ‘They’re stealing all the clothes!’ He’s like, ‘Don’t worry, let them have it.’â€

“It’s a five day shoot, and it’s crazy. The greatest fuckin’ experience, they’re eating mushrooms the whole time. Ol’ Dirty never shows up. I was like, Oh my god, this is fucking insane! The most fun I ever had. After shooting ends, they all leave to go on tour in Europe, but Ghost never would travel, because he had diabetes. So he checks into a hotel, and they said, ‘Yo Ghost, you watch Brett, and watch over that edit, man. White devil could fuck it up!†So, we’re in the edit room, and we call the group on speakerphone. And it’s the funniest thing, this is embedded in my memory. They’re all on the phone like, ‘White muthafuckin’ devil, man, tryin’ to rob us motherfucker!’ And Ghost is looking at me while on speakerphone, just winking at me like, I love you man! [laughs].â€

“So three days into the edit, I get a call that Ghost had had been kicked out of like eleven hotels, and I’m like, ‘Why were you kicked out?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t know man, I got fucked up, and I just start breaking shit. Can you come get me? I got no place to stay.’ So I let him stay at my house. Suddenly my phone rings, and it’s Steve Rifkind, ‘Whats going on?’ I go, ‘Nothing, I’m just bringing Ghost over my house ’cause he got kicked out of the hotel.’ Then there’s silence on the other end of the phone. I say, ‘Whats wrong?’ He goes, ‘I gotta call you back.’ Five days later, he calls me up and goes, ‘Are you okay? Oh my God, you scared the shit outta me, man. How can you let this guy stay at your house? I don’t even let these guys know where I live!’ I go, ‘What do you mean? He’s the nicest guy in the world.’ He goes, ‘You don’t know what Ghostface has? He hallucinates, he hears voices like kill your mom, kill your mom. He has to be medicated because he has homicidal thoughts.’ So a month goes by, and I would edit all day, and Ghost would just chill at my house until we finished. A month later, I’m with my girlfriend in the backyard, and the cat starts going fucking crazy and starts digging into the dirt. We dig up a bucket of fried chicken. Ghost buried a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the backyard. How fuckin’ freaky is that?â€
