good hip hop

[baskew]

what label did LB go to? i remember them being pretty upset about how atlantic(i think) handled their last. which i would agree with since i didnt even know it was out, and i consider myself a fan.

they resigned with ABB.

My friends listen to them. I find what I've heard pretty boring.

dont you know, theyve been putting out an album every year for the past 4. good luck on ever hearing it though. for real though, the latest news is that tip and common are doing a record once they stop touring for finding forever. but dont start biting your nails because tip hasnt actually gotten anything officially released beyond a single since amplified.

the album he did for arista got the sampler released and then it was shelved because it sucked. ill attest to that because i bought it and threw it away after one listen. the tribe album keeps hitting hiatus because theres some drama between phife/tip/ali and they apparently dont work together well despite the fact that they are starving and need to get some shit out if the plan on not working at mcdonalds soon.

its probably just as well because reunion albums always end up not coming out due to people not being able to rekindle any chemistry after hating eachother for so many years. think NWA, tribe, digable, organized. all ther legendary crews have supposedly been reuniting since forever now.

[mike lowrey]

Getback sounds dope as fuck. didn't realize they got a joint produced by 9th as well.

you at the bar, its hot in this club, so why you got your leather coat on dog, come on? take that coaaaattt offf niiigggaaaaaa

[NESK]

the new atmosphere ep is really nice. probly my favorite thing that came out this summer.

[brightbill]

Clipse "Flashing Lights" is real good... made me realize I'd forgotten just how fucking amazing the "We Got It 4 Cheap" series is.

And hunt down "We Got The Remix" as well...

My personal favorite off there, Diplo track.

Cool.. I don't listen to a lot of hip hop just rock mostly and other stuff so I don't know they've been putting out albums. Any places I can get them?

sorry, i was being facetious. theyve been claiming to be working on albums for the past four years, but nothing has come out. youll have to keep waiting.

jeezy is still the truth [YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH]

[NESK]

"im serious, nigga, i got money"

possibly greatest adlib ever.

[domdomdomdom]

didn't realize they got a joint produced by 9th as well.

hmm? did 9th leave little brother or something? dont really get to read through this thread at all, way too much to cover without time, so spare me if its been said already

[NESK]

9th is still affiliated, but he sint an offical member. i beleive majority of the beats on new album are outsoureced to the justus leauge B team, who are all decent either way.

anyone feeling the new aesop album? i likey.

[mrjuby]

my first aesop album. i like it. someone has a line from "fumes" as their sig in sufu. can't remember who.

[domdomdomdom]

its good, better than the last two to me.

[NESK]

i really liked fast cars, thought it was his best thing yet. and especially gooc because aesops style is so dense that a full lp can be way too much. thats how i felt about bazooka tooth at least. but none shall pass is really smooth. maybe its cause he doesnt have as much jarring production as bazooka, but i find this smoother to listen to all the way through. and hes finding a good balance between abstract and coherent that makes it alot better as background music.

i guess i really just loved labor days, i loved what blockhead did with the production on that record (and what he did on none shall pass consequentially). i probably dont appreciate either FCDFK or bazooka tooth as much as i would because of that, not that i dont like el-p.

[NESK]

you see the video he did for fast cars? i was really digging that one. but i feel you, alot of people hold labour days as a masterpiece and i think its mostly the beats, cause his rhymes were too abstract on that record for me to get really into it. id leave the room to take a shit or whatever and come back and he have gone from the table of elements to kabuki ninjas adjacent to the rearveiw in like 42 seconds. i cant really vibe on that.

haha i think his abstract lyrics are one of his most defining traits as an mc. there are times, especially over el-p's production, that i couldnt even understand what he said until i read it

and no i didnt see that mv. dont really watch music videos too much, but ill check it out

[djmainevent]

the novelty is you get all the danger of being involved with black culture but you dont have to be around black people while you enjoy it!!!!!!!!

out of curiosity and nothing more or less, what's that supposed to mean?
