I like Rap. I like Max B.
I know lots of people who don't like rap. They don't like Max B. They haven't even heard of Max B.
Anecdotal for sure, but what are you basing that on Luka? Is he big in Australia?

that is what Nas does good - but so rarely,
when he ups the tempo and uses that quicker flow - sounds dope, nice beat too
his slower stuff just goes way off target . . . .
Webbie is fuckin' ace. But you have to ignore the annoying Lil Phat verses that ruin the songs. I think Boosie said his album won't be a classic 'cos Lil Phat is all over it.
I disagree with you about the Huzzah remix - last two verses are fire anyway.

Webbie has been disgustingly good this past year or so. Yeah, Boosie's Boosie, and that's cool and all, but fucking WEBBIE.

Recommend Webbie tapes please.
Recent Rap Records Report:
Evidence - Cats and Dogs : production and lyricism can't really be faulted but on the whole this album bored me. I would have loved it five/six years ago, though. Best tune = ''Where You Come From'' produced by Alchemist featuring Lil Fame.
Styles P - Master of Ceremonies : I started out quite liking this album but quickly become bored by it and ended up almost hating it. There's a couple of good tunes (''How I Fly'', ''We Don't Play'' (featuring Lloyd Banks)... that's all I can remember) and a couple of really shit tunes, too. The production is hit-and-miss. Styles does come with some quotables and is obviously a good rapper but there's something about his whole style/persona I find unappealing. Kiss is much better IMO (even though in many respects he's completely identical).
Danny Brown + Black Milk - Black and Brown : Full disclosure - I've only listened to this one and a half times. I'm disappointed. Then again, I didn't really like ''XXX'' when I first heard it. But this is much more traditional, boom-bap/''Donuts''-ish stuff, pretty boring IMO. Maybe its just me but it seems that Danny's drowned out a bit by Black Milk's beats. Listening to this just conjured up visions of backpack wearing graffiti buffs nodding approvingly and saying ''I'm glad he's doing REAL hip-hop now''.
Z-Ro - Meth : Full disclosure - I've not even listened to this once, properly. I would recommend seeking it out, though (on Youtube or whatever) because it seems like quite a good album. He's singing on it - crooning, really. He sounds like a combination of Nate Dogg, Bone Thugs N Harmony and R Kelly on a lot of this (particularly ''Pigs Feet'' which contains a line about ''never being a rape artist before but you make me want to take your shit'' HMMM). The production is all laid-back west-coast via Houston stuff, quite high quality. Oh, and there's a Luger-style banger on there which is of interest because he says stuff like ''Fuck the whole world for no reason'' on it, which is really taking the nihilism of Brick Squad to its logical conclusion.
Future - Streetz Calling : You've guessed it - I haven't listened to this properly, either. But what I've heard is good, so I reckon its a tape worth getting hold of. I know someone else on this thread (DannyL?) recommended this tape and has probably already said this but the way he uses autotune is actually quite appropriate to the sort of synthetic, trance-y beats he (and a lot of other southern rappers) raps over. There's some clever metaphor in there about human emotion being not quite stifled by the creation of an artificial Gangsta persona - because the autotune simultaneously makes him seem robotic AND forlorn.
RANDOM HITS

First post
idk if this got any love, but its fire. the other cyphers are good too but damn shady kills it

i saw earlier that someone was saying that wale was shit in MMG, and theyre half right. he just doesnt thrive on the luger beats. watch how he absolutely wipes the floor on black & yellow (though i think the song is technically '10, but i heard on No Days Off from this year). what ive heard from ambition is very promising
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lPNUEndHm1E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
and some more detroit badassery. love black milk's late 90s throwback beats

Also via Steady Bloggin' - I am lovin' Sewer Greats 3, largely for the RIDICULOUS chopped and screwed version of "Wet the Bed". Brings out a cheesy song's sensual and hallucinogenic potential. Also the only remix I've ever heard that makes Al Green sound like Squarepusher.

Towering inferno of Wet Jamz is right.
THis is probably in the wrong thread but ... 'nahmean?

This tape continues to blow my mind. There's a Waka remix on there, where he's incredibly low in the mix, and buried under washes of synth. Sounds like The Knife or someting similar. At last, a Waka record for girls!
I disagree about the Danny Brown, Corpesy. I think guy is lyrically on fire right now, and the beats aren't as retrogressive as I feared, from your post. I haven't finished listening to it yet though, 'cos I keep on rewinding the aforementioned "Wet the Bed". This track via The Fader somehow seems emblematic of hip hop right now:

I know that rappers going on about taking drugs is nothing new, but there seems a craziness and humour there, a psychedelic turn almost that fits amazingly with the electronic beats, Danny Brown being the best example.
