good hip hop

[DüM]

I understand what he's saying but I thought it was weak, especially that line. I've never liked Styles though.

[ktothe]

This Roots album is so paranoid, and I dont just mean the lyrics. The production is fucking intense. Listening to it is like a coke come down. I cant chill out to this...

Im going to have to give it a good week of rotation to fully absorb it. So far none of the tracks have come close to 'Rising Down'.

New CNN ft. Clipse:

[mike lowrey]

anyone peeped this?

sounds very dope, will have to check the whole album. few tracks here.

[Number(N)ine]

That new game joint, 911 is a Joke, is straight raw.

Sounds like it came right out of DOC's No One Can Do It Better.

[ktothe]

I agree but I wasnt going to post anything because

a.I still havent come to terms with the fact I like a lot of Games new stuff

b.A lot of people here havent come to terms with the fact that Games new stuff is pretty good

[Number(N)ine]

3 tracks leaked over the past month, all fire!

I have to agree that I have never been a huge fan of Game's, I liked a few of his songs here and there. But 911 is a Joke is an ill track, does anyone know who produced the beat?

[ktothe]

No but its just Deep Cover with some extra shit.

[Harry Sledge]

The Game track is ok.

Alchemist is back!

Jadakiss - From Now Til Then

[ktothe]

Al never left. More like Jada is back...and its about time. Heres to hoping this album is more than one good single.

[Harry Sledge]

Al never left.

Suppose I shoulda said how I prefer his Free Agents/1st Infantry production style over what I've heard on Prodigy's new albums.

I'm late...I've only just heard this track!

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

I'm kind of feeling the new Prodigy record.

[Arcane]

The leaked and shelved J Dilla record from his time at MCA is pretty dope. Some of the production isn't that interesting but I'm one of few who actually like it when Dilla rhyme so I'm feeling it. Anyone up on this?

Gotta recommend this article about the two scotts who played the whole music industry. Strangely I've never heard of them before...

I'm already bored with it

GET BACK TO THE BOOKS!

But forrillz I'm still "eh" on that album...ROTM is a much more interesting listen to me...at least right now. I do, however, think "ABC" embodies what everyone has been saying about the album being dark and paranoid and unfiltered P-double.

Finally, a new album from Kurupt. He was consitantly the dopest rapper in the West for a long time then just sorta fell off. His new track a change in direction and a vastly different change in flow. But he came correct on a beautiful Pete Rock track, check it out:

[ilovefriedchicken]

i dont know if its been mentioned or not but cunninlynguists is really good.

My god...are you serious? +Rep for acknowledging Kurupt. That dude shits on pretty much all of the West Coast cats (though he's originally from Philly)...heads usually sleep on him when talking about who's the nicest on the West. Fuck a Snoop or Xzibit or Game or any backpack crap...Kurupt went waaaay passed that shit by "New York, New York."

[Arcane]

I'm really feeling the new Idle Warship track. Looking forward to an album.

The new Kurupt joint is pretty crazy as well. Pretty strange to hear him with a flow like that but he comes correct.

[ktothe]

The new Bun B is...well, Bun B - So, UGK it hurts.

Im halfway through the new 7l and Esoteric and its crazy nice. Both 7l and Eso have succesfully out doomed, doom. He's rapping about Gigantor and starwars and shit. Real stream of thought flow, and he of course, still sounds like a bootleg Jay so its sorta nice. If Jigga nerded out for an entire album, this would be it. Interesting production and a multitude of flows from Eso.

I cracked a smile as soon as Elzhi started to spit. Thats pretty much what happens whenver I hear this dude. Royce is also nice as hell...This is just good music.

...been bumpin' that Jay Electronica tune Nas' is talkin' about for a minute now.

@ktothe

Feelin' that Motown 25 joint.

[NESK]

yo what happened with suge knight this week? some dude at work was saying he got bucked down.

[ktothe]

I dont know...I heard he got jawed or something?

Just wanted to post this:

Old School type TI - I wasnt sure if the previous convo about him was positive or negative so...*shrug*

Also...

...Im just going to let you listen to it. Just as warning thought, its as dope as you would assume. Are we hearing some of Only Built 2?

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

yo what happened with suge knight this week? some dude at work was saying he got bucked down.

At first I heard someone cold knocked him out on some one punch shit, but then when I read the full report on TMZ (full disclosure) with the pics and all, turned out fool hit him in the BACK of the head with an "impliment retrieved from his trunk" (Read: Tire Iron)

That left me slightly dissapointed.

[DüM]

dude didn't use no damn tire iron

the actual dude who snuffed him was on youtube talking about how he'll make a vid discussing the whole thing, stated clearly he didn't use a weapon tho

[heBAY]

you can't trust nobody these days.

[DüM]

for those who haven't seen it.
