i keep forgetting to listen to that rhymefest album again...i liked it alright, i should give it another go...i liked it more than the lupe album, which didn't age well for me.

im telling you, if you can still get into mid-90s nyc rap, the AZ album is fucking golden. "the format" is my rap single of the year.

― max (maxreax), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the Rhymefest album was pretty high on my year-end list when I first heard it, but I think I lost my copy and it wasn't so great that I'm going to bother to get another copy or keep it on any lists on the basis of a handful of listens from months ago. but I just got the Lupe album pretty recently so it's still sounding fresh to my ears.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

thx max,

i keep forgetting abt that AZ album! i gotta get that.

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i know no one will care since i was like the only person that liked Mos Def's last album, but apparently he's up for a grammy?! and he's been working on an album that's supposed to come out in january called Tru3 Magic.

I discovered g-funk via the Menace II Society soundtrack and I can't get enough of it.

― max (maxreax), Thursday, 7 December 2006 22:34 (seventeen years ago) link

to be fair the whole "Urban/Alternative" category is tailor made for bullshit noone likes like the last Mos Def album

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Thursday, 7 December 2006 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

welcome to 1992

i recently got the first bone thugs album. in highschool i was "above" listening to commercial/gangster rap, but that shit is so good. kicking myself now.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i heard that new mos def song...yuck.

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost jaxon i was just bumping creepin' on a come up! that fucking EP rules...i forgot how wierd those dudes were "will i die of muuuuurdah? of bloody muuuuuuurdah?"

Mos Def's out 12.19, isn't it?

"answering the musical question: what would it sound like if HR from Bad Brains got hella stoned, then mumbled a bunch of garbage over the Liquid Swords beat?"

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:27 (seventeen years ago) link

bone thugz are fucking great, STILL. krazie's verse on "ridin dirty" MADE that fuckin song. and NOTORIOUS THUGS is still one of biggie's greatest tracks.

― max (maxreax), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck a Hot97 for not having show playlists on their site. Was anyone listening to Funkmaster Flex last night? There was something he played I really liked - it was right before he played the two Justin Timberlake singles back to back? I can't say much else about it except that it sounded like a Southern rapper over a beat that didn't sound Southern.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

do you remember any words? the hook?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

It was something I only heard the last minute of as I was getting in the car but the beat was fantastic.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

just got a leak of the new nas.

wow. i can't wait to hear what y'all think about "Who Killed It?"

nas is crazy as fuck.

mostly though, so far, this is great!

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

so far, this might be my fav nas since "it was written"

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

or "lost tapes" if that "counts"

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I just listened to Rhymefest today and it's great!

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

by great I mean fun and accomplished and diverse, it's not like he's T.I. or Chingo Bling or anything

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i just DLed the new Nas too, but i've never really cared about him since Illmatic (which i bought on it's first day in highschool - geez, hype has been strong even then)

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

and Snoop's new one is kinda meh. decent but nothing amazing.

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

really what i've been listening to a lot is a slsk 12 cd comp of Jay Dee produced tracks called "Soulful Genius (Library of a Legend)". there's a Slum Village track called "Who We Are" that's absolutely bonkers. i guess it's on their "Prequel to a Classic" release which i have no idea what it is.

listening to Thug Motivation 101 one last time before i delete it. this guy is laughably terrible

― amon (amon), Saturday, 9 December 2006 07:48 (seventeen years ago) link

you mean 102?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 13:00 (seventeen years ago) link

The Lil Weezyana mixtape is one of my favourite things of the year. Best gay rapper alive!

― Tim F (Tim F), Saturday, 9 December 2006 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Lil Wayne: gay rapper?

http://www.knox.edu/Images/_News/news_media/img/2006/colbert_stephen-1ss.jpg

...or the gayest rapper?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

no i mean 101. i like the first track, and go crazy, my hood, get ya mind right, trap or die. the rest is total crap. not even gonna bother with 102

― amon (amon), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i feel you, i didn't really like the stuff on 101 either.

Hip Hop Is Dead is pretty good so far, but WTF is up with "Who Killed It"!? I have no idea what kind of voice Nas is trying to there but it's more embarrassing than all the tracks with 'Scarlett' on Street's Disciple put together.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

similiarly, "the whirlwind of beef, I inhale it" makes me want to vomit more than any of the gross sex rhymes on the last album.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

also Nas WHY OH WHY do we have to hear your wifey's horrible horrible speaking voice on your albums? that shit is more nails-on-a-chalkboard than, well, her singing voice.

so this'll be his "retirement" album

― amon (amon), Saturday, 9 December 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

im liking "hip hop is dead"; i had forgotten how good nas can be when he wants to. theres a lot less self-indulgence on this album it seems like. the track with jay is almost as good as i could have hoped.

― max (maxreax), Saturday, 9 December 2006 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Lil Crappy rhymes like a dude with his nipples pierced. Money in the bank is the best song on the album and it is lukewarm at best. This guy is a candidate to be the all time best wal mart greeter in the history of Wal mart.

whoever said that about 'Lil Crappy' OTM

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I think he's supposed to be like a Humphrey Bogart type film noir detective on Who Killed It.

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

'who killed it' is seriously unlistenable like is nas trying out for a voice spot on animaniacs or something

im gonna start a new thread to list rappers who rhyme like a dude with his nipples pierced

― and what (ooo), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

lol @ 'the whirlwind of beef i inhale it' too - good to see im not the only dude who got screwfaced on that line

― and what (ooo), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

someone with photoshop skills needs to work that line and a picture of Nas into a Wendy's ad

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 11 December 2006 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

It worked for Tone Loc.

But if that's what you have to do to work with Kim Fields, so be it.
