good hip hop

[Arcane]

I see where you're coming from. That's what I thought after the first listen but it kinda grew on me. Also I'm a big fan of Skillz. Not saying it's a great record though but I was expecting garbage.

[terrible!]

I'll listen to it a few more times but thats been my opinion on all of his LP's except for his first. Anything else good? I'm going to get into that Elzhi the morning.

[SamG]

Reks new album is worth a listen, i had little prior knowledge of the dude but i was impressed.

[Arcane]

^Only heard the track with a Preemo beat. Rest anything like it?

There's also supposed to be a new Dave Ghetto album out, haven't heard it but Dave Ghetto is usually nice. Buff1 is dropping a new one on the 12th, should be bonkers

[Arcane]

Fuck me sideways, this shit is sweet! Haven't played it that much yet but it's quality jazzy beats and smooth rhymes. Just check the youtube links, kick back and chill... Fonk 112 damn nice

damn thats some bass on a couple of tracks. GF is some Irish dude, right? will have to check the album.

wasn't really blown away by Elzhi, its an ok album but can't really say anything stuck at least on the first listen.

just listening to Pete Philly & Perquisite, this shit is pretty solid.

also, incase it went unnoticed, Phonte of Little Brother recently made an album with remakes of some 80's hits such as Take on Me and Africa. sounds pretty dreadful but hilarious and entertaining at the same time.

i want to hear that phonte. where to listen?

First track reminded me of ol' nights listening to late night radio hip hop...second track, I thought you went for this;

[esoteric]

Did anybody get a chance to check out Murs' Sweet Lord? Or am I just late?

Makes me a bit excited for his new album.

that new Nas album was a disgrace.

[terrible!]

Listen again...

[Arcane]

Damn, some tracks off S1's new joint is pretty nice. I most def fuck with the Everyone clap. Lifesavas and Tanya Morgan provide the rhymes... Phonte track is nice as well

[SamG]

best producer on the mic bar none.

can't wait to hear this.

Edit: S'alrite on first listen. Standout tracks, funnily enough, are the 2 which got leaked, The Entrance and The Hardest.

This shit went under my radar...the beat is bananas and has SP on it...(on the topic of producers who rap...)

Bonus over some south shit (methinks it's off the new Weezy album):

embarassing wayne: part x

[NESK]

yo i still havnt heard the new nas, but ill say his shorts game is fucked up.

[terrible!]

Esco shorts where the ish 10 years ago. Esco shorts, Avirex hoodie, jordans on my feet make my cypher complete.

Yo that's wild cause my boy just sent me that video and I bugged out. I had this on an OLD DUck Down promo vhs that has all types of footy as well as pretty much all of the Black Moon, Smif n Wessun, and Fab 5 videos...I think it stopped off at Heltah Skeltah's "Operation Lockdown"...but the clip that was on there (just being Ruck's first 8-12 bars...until it cuts off) got mucho rewinds as a 16 year old.

[Arcane]

Hands down, Buff1 released what is probably the best hiphop record in 2008 thus far. He had a great record last year which was sadly overlooked but this shit is superior. This guy knows how to pick beats and he knows how to rip em to pieces.

Video for one of the best tracks.

I've been listening to the Reks album for a couple of days now and love it
