good hip hop

[NESK]

puff was on brodway = softbatch.

[ktothe]

Puff is a grimey dude, apparently. Whats up with the Crip connection rumors. Or was it bloods?

Jadakiss did a bunch of good solo shit on Kiss the Game Goodbye, that was raw Jadakiss. Then after the album everyone was talking about how Kiss can only do street music, he is so one dimensional. So that's why Kiss of Death sounded like Jadakiss was trying to prove something that he didnt have to.

I overall like SP better than Jada too, but if you were to totally disagree with that statement, I couldn't tell you that you're wrong.

There was a Ghost by the door? didnt know that, i stopped downloading mixtapes tho cause they were fuckin' my computer up

On Vol. 3 didnt Ghost do Ghetto Children? It was kind of a Carribean song? That was alright

What was the mixtape where he did all those freestyles to Can I live (Man of The Men) and he did one called Soldiers Song? that was a stupidly ill mixtape

No that was RR 4...I think he was on two songs there. That comp sucked a whole lotta balls. RR 3 had some mean joints on it (I think 3-5 were Lox-related...one SP solo and one full-on Lox track).

Ghost By The Door was done by DJ Drama. It was an official SP tape though...he hosted and there were 90% new songs. The only gripe is the cutting and the yelling over the songs that Drama or his boy does...it's a Gangsta Grillz edition tape so you get that Lil Jon "GANGSTA GRIZILLLLLZZZZZ" sample all over teh songs.

Ghost In The Machine was the mixtape you were talking about...with "The MC" and "Can I Live" and all of that crazy shit. That shit is probably one of the best mixtapes I've ever heard just for mood alone. It was the perfect Fall-Winter vibe. "The Key" and this other joint where they sample one of those famous 80's songs are insane.

anyone need 8 diagrams?

pm me

^^ lame.

I recommend you (as in everyone) check out that new Caltroit album. Theres some pretty hard production on it, with lyrics to match. Its pretty raw.

EDIT: Oh lord...just got to the track "Goatit". Bishop Lamonte destroys it. His flow is ridiculous and he makes it sound so effortless.

yo i forget what blog it was but someone posted some "all natural" tracks and this guy/these guys are pretty ill

anyone else heard of or listen to??

[heBAY]

^^ from Chicago? Back when I was on my underground indie hip hop shit (before it became known as "backpacker" rap)...I had their first 12" with three joints...one had the dude rhymin' about comic book characters over a beat made from the old Spiderman tv theme. I thought it was pretty fresh back then.

No idea what they sound like now...

[brightbill]

So, why not - what do you all have for top hip hop releases of the year? Mine looks like:

1. Graduation

2. Kala

3. American Gangster

4. Underground Kingz

5. Desire

6. 8 Diagrams

7. Big Doe Rehab

8. Totally Flossed Out EP

9. Renaissance Child

10. Who Am I?

Other good releases: Dirty Acres, Razah's Ladder, Da Drought 3, Beneath The Heavens, Public Enemy #1, Perseverance, The Cool

Still haven't gotten enough of a feel for Ear Drum or Getback to judge.

I dunno about gang connections, but Puff definitely isn't afraid to mix it up. Check out how many times he's been sued for assault and shit - notably w/Steve Stoute and the recent case where some dude claims Puff punched him in the face at the club.

And as for Saigon, I actually saw him Saturday night at The Black Door, a bar in NYC that is next door to Baseline Studios, which is owned by Just Blaze and presumably where Saigon records. They were having a private party in the back and judging from the crowd I can only assume it had something to do with his record being finished.

didnt you know the new shit is to retire before you put out a commercial record then come out of retirement with a debut album. come on, get your indutry politrix 101 on. this shit is standard for newjacks nowadays. by his second album hes gonna be on some 'doin it like i used to' vibe where he takes it all the way back to spring 2008.

[ktothe]

While this probably doesnt belong here I figure this would be the best place to get a response.

If anyone owns an original pressing (i dont think it was repressed) of The Nonces first album I'd give my left testical for it. Seriously, if you own it, and want to give it up PM me a price i'll probably pay it.

[brightbill]

I liked Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo more myself, but PM sent.

[Jon's_Coffee_Shop]

Wassup y'all? I have trouble finding this soul album by Lenny Williams:

Cause I Love You: The Best of Lenny Williams

Yes, this is a Hip Hop thread, but I figured most people who listen to good Hip Hop have some sort of knowledge of the samples that their favorite tracks come from. I need this album in my life and if anyone has it, kindly hook this up. Thanks.

[ktothe]

The new atmos is free, why would you buy it?

[mrjuby]

i think sean_ is talking about "sad clown bad winter 11"

you can get "strtictly leakage" here. its free.

yo yo yo is mounds better than that new bangers ..

I saw him live in the summer in Bk , the new material was horrid , and he's performance was sooo much weaker than the first 5 times i caught him live ..

[Latent_Genius]

Mood Muzik =

Joe is one of my favorite mc's at the moment, I like how focused and sincere he sounds. some very dope tracks here.

Yeah he's focused with more personal music , instead of the cliche party song jump off , but he's still the same mediocre rapper he was back in 2000 ...

[mike lowrey]

Joe Budden on radio with some other cats. dude gets heated, spits a verse and walks out: http://videos.onsmash.com/v/Qd8VBaMVl8phfqVV
