[terrible!]

I don't want to sound like a Japanophile, but I really love J-Hip Hop, but I'm talking more of the instrumental stuff, here's a sample of what I'm talking about:

And

I love instrumentals.

[NESK]

helgen, i feel ya. i been trying to find some loop junktion for a minute but i cant get my hands on it.

[Arcane]

Is that Nomak joint off Calm? Been a while since I listened to the album but I know it was really dope. Also Himuki had a great album last year, well worth checking out. Samon Kawamura album is really dope, other jap shit to check from 2008 is Kondor and Shingo Suzuki.

I usually don't like people beastin over all these japanese producers as a lot of them actually aren't that interesting, just keeping to the same formula as good ones which is different from a lot of western world hiphop and therefore gets hyped. Some of them are really dope though.

Talking instrumentals my favorite this year must be Fat Jon though. That shit is dope as hell.

Also, the newly leaked Ludacris joint produced by Preem is dope. That Everybody hates Chris ain't half bad either. He might actually come correct on this one.

Some random more or less dope shizz:

Idle Warship - Black snake moan

The Clipse - Road to til the casket drops (intro) ... from their upcoming mixtape

Alchemist, Kid Cudi, Blu & Evidence - Therapy

Alchemist, Pusha T, Snoop & Jada - Loose your life ... this video is fucking off the hook

Evidence & Defari - Don't hate ... yet another video from The Layover

B-Real & Young De - Don't you dare laugh ... where the fuck did this come from?

[NESK]

arcane, if you got any full albums form any jap producer you mentions, especially shingo and samon, id love it if you could pm me them.

or if you got stuff with mcs thats just as good, ill go for that too.

That's cause it's a solid record. Nothing more, nothing less.

i got up on samon kawamura not too long ago. translations and unfold are dope albums.

fat jon's repaint tomorrow is a great instrumental joint. i love these beats:

i just got 2 of his older albums but haven't listened yet.

i'm currently playing Count Bass D's L7 and Cyne's Pretty Dark Things. both are solid.

[Appleseed]

I don't usually keep full albums, but if anyone wants Japanese recommends pm me. Most of my stuff is up on Soulseek. Much better stuff out there than Loop Junktion- Life Art Vision, TAK, Y.O.G. if you want jazzy ish.

[NESK]

ahh man. i got so much stuff to sort through as is, im gonna get back to you on this when im feindin.

[SamG]

alchemist working with Kid Cudi hurts my heart

[terrible!]

Thats what I thought too, but I decided to wait until i listen to the track first.....which I haven't.

[SamG]

damn, and i thought that birthday girl song was kaka

I just previewed Luda's new joint. Premier hooked Luda up!!!! Overall, the album is pretty solid from what I heard.

[dandandan]

anyone check that new kanye and luda? shits got leaked as usual

[Arcane]

Getting the new Luda right now. Track produced by Preem is actually very nice

[homeboy]

Got Kanye's album this morning. If you like Love locked down then you'll be blown away from by the Album. It sounds like no hiphop or R&B album on the shelves. Kanye has really produced something unique here, this album is an instant classic. Sales are going to be mad as the album will also attract those who generally don't listen to rap. I love the drums playing in every single song.

[terrible!]

I thought it was trash.

Dont think so. The four tracks that are worth listening to again are streetlights, coldest winter, say you will, and heartless. The other tracks are blehh.

even for the meh tracks i thought that the drums kicked ass for the entire album... i just get this feeling when i listen to kanye sing that even i can sing better than him

[terrible!]

Luda put out the album that Jay-Z should put out but keeps refusing to.

[Leeacto]

Kanye's album is solid.

So is Luda's.

I like Kanye's mainly because it's mostly not rapping. Moreso him just "making music" how he want. A little over the top w/ the Vocal Machine thing, but I do like the 80s sounding beats.

Luda put out the album that Jay-Z should put out but keeps refusing to.

This is the first Luda album I've actually heard. pretty decent i think. Def like how Jay starts his verse like MC Shan

[mike lowrey]

the fuck, did kanye swallow Autotune? while there might be some good production there, it still sounds like a mess of badly sung vocals which are covered up shitty effects. I praised Graduation when it came out and still think it was dope regardless of a few misteps, but this is just fucking brutal. I don't think I can even skim it through a second time. I'm sure it will sell like mad but he still fell off BAD.

Ludacris sounds alright, digging the Primo track, and the last one was dope.
