one month passes...

Rhymefest WTF?

― The Reverend (Rodney J. Greene), Thursday, 15 February 2007 04:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Is there anything new that's good in hip-hop right now? I'm not being rhetorical, but it's been a while since I've heard anything.

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Thursday, 15 February 2007 05:21 (seventeen years ago) link

TVT's Hyphy Hitz comp is really good. A few odd singles I've been into: UGK "The Game Belongs to Me"; Trick Daddy "Tuck Ya Ice"; Mike Jones "Mr. Jones"; Wes Fif "Haters Everywhere".

That UGK song is really great.

yeah it seems like after the glut of 4th quarter releases, there's barely been a single major label or high profile rap release in the first couple months of 2007. mostly people dropping singles and mixtapes to gear up for albums in March or later. i'm kind of using the lull to dig back into older shit. this thread was way better than the rolling snap thread on the real ILM though.

i had a dream about a new mike jones video featuring kanye in an mf doom-style mask. wtf??

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Thursday, 15 February 2007 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

it started out sampling some children's song but then went into the lil jon beat from the heineken commercial.

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Thursday, 15 February 2007 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

actually it only covered half of kanye's face, so i guess it was more like mfantom of the opera.

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Thursday, 15 February 2007 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

i also missed amon's "beef" upthread

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Thursday, 15 February 2007 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

kanye rapping about women is really annoying. see: throw some d's remix

One of These Things (Is Not Like The Others)
Words and Music by Joe Raposo and Jon Stone

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

― and what (ooo), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

As do Nas & Kanye. As much as I hate to say it, KRS sounds like an asshat.

― The Reverend shines like a lighthouse (Rodney J. Greene), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:56 (seventeen years ago) link

KRS-One hasn't been on a hit single this decade. Easy.

― White Collar Boxer (DomPassantino), Thursday, 15 February 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

the just blaze beat on the juelz santana nike song (or at least the one that was used on a nike commercial) is pretty boss, altho not particularly ground-breaking

― max (maxreax), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Saw a video by MIMS last night. I have never encountered such a talented and idiosyncratic individual in my life.

― rappist (HGULTRUISLIM), Sunday, 18 February 2007 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

The rapping is a lot moving to me. Many hit the songs from Rakim have excited it and the dance has rendered me. I cannot imagine living without to play these impressive tracks of dry blow of the same stimulant in cold mine jeep.

J-Kwon has rendered it a lot tipsy with its cold song. Deej from ILX says to me approximately a lot, better tracks from the dirty south. Black people will play this music and this is the music that I will always play in order.

― pablo (Pablo), Sunday, 18 February 2007 10:30 (seventeen years ago) link

why is everyone so crazy about this plodding Juelz/Blaze bullshit?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Sunday, 18 February 2007 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd kill to have Juelz NOT on it with his "SO GLORIOUS...(uh)...VICTORIOUS" bullshit, but I'll roll with Just Blaze as long he's on the bombastic triumphalism thing.

― and what (ooo), Sunday, 18 February 2007 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh I wanna hear that, then. I used to love Black Sheep.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Monday, 19 February 2007 00:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i've been saying that black sheep is good!
o-dub clowned me when i told him

― deej (deej), Monday, 19 February 2007 00:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i tried to search for where i mentioned it before but apparently some indie band released an album called 'black sheep' last year making it impossible to find anything :-/

― deej (deej), Monday, 19 February 2007 01:04 (seventeen years ago) link

any chi-ali cameos?

high voicemail inspired memory/reading/freestyle blend how tech facility wrx when your flows are stacked or however youd put it, speed timeshifting with feeling yourself's feelings, you cld almost take it as poetry or spoken word without any of the corny baggage. wayne's on point never out of his element on fire & i spoze i understand why he half-feels jim jones & how he can pull that off w his resigned appreciation of whatever's clever, working w fat joe crack & not giving a fuck about haters-- tho i don't rilly know much abt the region it seems like more thoughtful motherfuckers like bg aren't so upset with him anymore even tho he got out of the hood w/baby before it got too hard (i remember that 2003 bg album with that heroin shootem up song and that "fuck you"-sample song, bg knowing already he's out of the real jam)(it seems like wayne wasn't as exposed to the harshness of those that akshully fell out with CM, eg lil turk/even juve, the unsure groundwork of his career back then despite his real maturity & already developed resigned sense of girl-loving social irony that he's famous for (then utp partytime, now rodeo, getting more angst when he was on the slim track slow motion)& then the masses of folkz i don't really know abt who are probably broke (even tho i don't really know about any of that history. like i've never heard kilo-g or soulja rags, that dude from chicago only in 03 and, embarrassingly in 2004 i almost bought a pair of birdmans *:^/)

― luriqa criptscorp (HGULTRUISLIM), Monday, 19 February 2007 05:10 (seventeen years ago) link

the dres track on the Handsome Boy M.S. album was probably the best thing on it (that or Jack Johnson!).

― m1cc1o (m1cc1o), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

or maybe the Dating Game skit

what happened to mista lawnge

― amon (amon), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw BS at the Ottobar in like 2002 and it was both Dres and Mista Lawnge, pure nostalgia set but they ripped it. Dres sounded good on the "Where Are They Now" remix, not surprised that the new album is good but i dunno if i'll get around to checking it out.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

lol when i was at billboard awards summer 05 i ended up getting trashed on free drinks watching this weirdo reality tv group named fatty koo murdering like 3 songs & me and this crotchety old dude are sitting up at the bar bitching about all this wack bullshit nowadays & laughing at these fruity dorks up on stage & then the tribe called quest tribute starts and dude has to go up & give out an award and i realize its dres from black sheep

― and what (ooo), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

at the after-party that night lil mo asked me wasnt dancing & pulled me onto the dancefloor (nobody ever believes me on this one but im pretty she was e'd up or something)

― and what (ooo), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

no I always believed that story

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

lol @ the name fatty koo, btw

― deej (deej), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw BS at the Ottobar in like 2002

i missed that and the slick rick show goddamit

do u remember when m.o.p. played there lol

― amon (amon), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

actually it was m.o.p. & cormega. apparently club "security" was shitting their pants that night

and now the rap shows are at sonar. the end.

― amon (amon), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:28 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the Black Sheep show wasn't too crowded or hectic but I've never seen the Ottobar staff more freaked out than at the big local rap showcase in '05 where the Bossman/Mullyman beef jumped off. I guess when most of your clientele is 90 lb. indie rockers your security detail is easily shook.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

is there where i admit i go to those free scion shows??? big daddy kane next week!!!

― and what (ooo), Monday, 19 February 2007 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

haha yeah there've been a few of those that I've been tempted to check out but haven't -- don't you have to sign up for a mailing list or some other shady shit to get in?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 19 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

why does every other city get big daddy kane and chicago gets talib kweli
