Hip Hop '11

[CrowleyHead]

It would be all the more frustrating if she wasn't the only actually talented member of White Girl Mob.

I know I'm going to be alone here, but she's a pretty good freestyler, and when she goes into the old-school Juvenile flow in her little dorky yelp, I'm like "AWWWWW!" It's a combination of admiration and patronizing.

 

[Sick Boy]

Just checked in here and the order of the day is V-Nasty and Riff Raff? Just to get this straight, when we're talking about Riff Raff we're talking about that should've-been-aborted clown that was on From G's To Gents right? We're talking about this guy right? Just checking, dissensus.

No idea, what's "From G's To Gents"? I still haven't listened to the compilation, because I downloaded it at work and it was a .rar and I didn't have anything suitable installed to deal with said format and I lost interest. Is he shit then?

I almost didn't bother with this 50 Cent compilation because he was so shit on that Gucci track on Writings on The Wall 2, but it's actually got some good stuff on it.

 

[gumdrops]

can you good ppl recommend me some good new/recent mixtapes?

watch the throne is a proper 'event' album though event albums are often just a bit shit. i liked HAM and otis but some of the other beats ive heard are weak. will see what the albums like though. kanye already did dubstep on his last album btw (ie all of the lights). edit - i just listened to WTT - it has a few good beats but mostly its pretty soft til the hiddden/extra tracks which is a bit dissapointing.

i dont mind screaming/hysterical rapping over insanely loud and noisy beats. eg - dmx, mop, bonecrusher/lil jon etc.

''Lift Off (ft. Beyonce) – I almost aint wanna even comment on this shit son…. I dont even kno what to say bout it yo. This shit sounds like the anthem the fairies in Ferngully would use to go to war against evil humans to or some shit b. This shit is like Shia LeBeouf in song form yo. Lissenin to this shit is like havin ya ears penetrated by a million microscopic dicks namsayin. Shit sounds like niggas doin aerobics on a magical cloud of daisies. How many meadows did Kanye cartwheel across before he decided to make this beat? Seriously yo…. Jus how many lily pads did the nigga skip across the pond on before he got inspired to make some shit like this?''

 

[gumdrops]

that game song is good. glad premier is still doing some stuff outside of his comfort zone (well with rappers outside his comfort zone, not like the beat is anything new for him). i cant tell if that guy talking about kanye thinks getting inspired by lily pads is a good thing or not. best songs on WTT - otis, ham, primetime, niggas in paris, welcome to the jungle. actually thats quite a few isnt it.

I enjoy it on a very immature level.

The parody titles in this are great.

The Game track IS great but he sounds like Nas on it. I don't suppose that's a bad thing, though.

 

[gumdrops]

will always love the wu and raekwon but do feel hes sort of just repeating himself at this point. i can barely tell his verses apart now. though saying that i do kind of respect that in spite of that he is still writing stuff that eludes me. new wu tang album is actually enjoyable imo. mainly produced by fizzy womack so its just hardcore wu-tang. its got a pretty normal sound for them but thats prob whats needed after 8 diagrams and if im honest, album wise, they havent really had a proper totally wu sounding album in years anyway.

"This shit sounds like two niggas hang glidin over the ocean together at sunset holdin hands son." is the highlight imo.

new Danny Brown album, for free.

Haven't listened to it yet, hope it isn't too hipsterish on the production side.

Been listening to some of ''The Hybrid'' - some of the lyrics on it are so... gritty? REAL?

''My old auntie, kinda like an alcoholic / drinkin' since a teen, shitting blood in the toilet''



the whole of that second verse in ''Drinks on Me'' completely bypassed me (about the blight of alcohol on the streets). The first verse even is completely different to what you'd usually hear from a rapper. Seducing a drunk girl but talking about how ''daddy wasn't around'' and that's why it's eas(ier) for him. It sounds like a straightforward party n drink tune if you don't listen to what he's saying.

I feel like Danny could make a classic he just needs the right beats. ''ReUp'' and ''Drinks On Me'' stuck out a mile for me on ''The Hybrid'' (and ''The Hybrid'' and ''The Rain'' on the cutting room floor comp). He's got an individual style/delivery (he can push it too far for my tastes sometimes), vivid imagery, something to say...

 

[Corpsey]

just listened to the first two tracks and had to turn it off. could someone please go through it all and tell me which tracks on it feature Danny NOT doing the comedy voice at the top of his voice?

 

[Sick Boy]

Anyone know a good place to buy current rap singles on wav or 320 kbps? What I need is the equivalent of a Boomkat for rap. Does this even exist?

new Main Attrakionz album: http://goo.gl/oMV8j

some pretty good stuff

 

[smokeyrobinson]

Game - Born In The Trap is so dyno, nas vibes are smokiiinnng

 

[CrowleyHead]

Corpsey, you need to give XXX another shot.

This album is fucked. FUCKED. I can't describe it well but there's something incredible about how WRONG it is. I'll use actual words later.

 

[Corpsey]

Yeah, my kneejerk reaction was wrong. (Weird.)

Favourite tracks so far: Detroit 187, Lie4 (''I got that income tax swag!''), Pop Song, Party All The Time, DNA... actually the highlights are stacking up.

Has anyone got the production credits? I know ''Pop Song'', ''Party All The Time'' and ''Pac Blood'' are all produced by Brandun Deshay (who made ''Stapleton'' by Earl).


this one sounds very Main Attrak/Squadda-B-ish.

Seems like a fucking good album, actually, especially for free.

 

[Corpsey]

''Life4'' sounds almost dubsteppy, makes me want to hear Danny over this


or somethin'

''Bruiser Brigade'' also displays Danny's grime influence (his love of Dizzee etc.)...

''UK niggas up in the pubs, they watchin them soccer games / we drunk as fuck, nigga! we bumping waka flame (BAOW BAOW BAOW!)''

He's on one of their other tracks (can't recall which one off the top of my head) so I'd guess this is them. Looking forward to listening but damn, stuff comes out at such a rate of knots it's hard to keep up.

 

[outraygeous]

I swear I nearly punched someone when Monopoly came on.

Anyway, very good album but not as many quotable s so far as the hybrid
