Probably in my top 5-10 albums this year. Self-produced except a few tracks from Alchemist and others.

Cassidy speaks on a rap battle with Meek. Would love to see this happen.

Just thinking about the potential between the two camps...

Anyone know any rappers somewhat similar to Kid Cudi? Or any albums similar to Man on the Moon?

Other than the general Kanye Crew or Lupe.

According to Spotify...

I know all with the exception of Deadmus and Chiddy Bang

#hope

Snow and MGMT on the list tho hmm

, one has to wonder lol.

by Guest Mon Dec 03, 2012 10:20 am

I'm a big Chiddy Bang fan, but not a huge Kid Cudi fan. Not sure what that means, although I feel like you should check out: Decline, Dream Chasin', I Can't Stop (freestyle), All Things Go, Silver Screen and Now u Know - all by Chiddy Bang.

You don't know who Deadmau5 is? Well.. he's certainly not a rap artist.

I remember thinking this song was oh so cool, back during my college days Rolling Eyes

This dude always comes correct and I can feel his emotions through my computer screen.

I got caught with 50 cent hype in high school (not to say that he wasn't good at one point). That music just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I am still a Styles P fan - he actually raps about emotional stuff - but when it's only being hard to be hard, I just have no interest in that these days. I know "Get Rich or Die Tryin' " was a good album, but I can't even rock to it anymore; something just changed in me.

^ What about Power of the Dollar?

:bow:

I'm probably one of the biggest 50 haters you'll find but Power of the Dollar and GRODT are both classics to me. Everything after that with the exceptions of a couple tracks off The Massacre are trash. Game >>>>

And My Buddy is dope to me, the whole album was pretty good too. "G'd up" is one of the best Dre beats ever imo.

by adnyana179 Thu Dec 06, 2012 3:54 am

Downloading the album now. It's been a real good 6 months for rap releases.

by dmize Thu Dec 06, 2012 4:51 am

^ Yeah I like it a lot. Most of the beats have a "holy" theme but they all sound good. There's a couple skippable tracks but so far it's a solid 4/5. Another good album from him.

by adnyana179 Thu Dec 06, 2012 2:23 pm

He gets criticism for all the features, but I don't feel they take away from his albums at all. He's held his own throughout his mixtapes anyway.

by dmize Fri Dec 07, 2012 6:06 am

The sample from Sudden Impact(Dirty Harry movie) on "Scared Now" :bow:

by adnyana179 Fri Dec 07, 2012 8:25 am

Classic K.R.I.T. sound

Just downloaded the mixtape not long ago. Will give it a proper listen tomorrow.

iTunes bonus that dropped a few days ago.

Just now listening to Nas' album. I LOVE EVERY SONG IN IT! Shocked

It sounds a lot like traditional rap music. No bollocks whatsoever. Had to get it ffs. Already a classic imo Shocked

First time I've gotten a rap album in 5 years. Think I'm going to check out Kendrick Lamar's as well.

by Blue Barrett Fri Dec 14, 2012 5:22 pm

Oh and btw, Lil Wayne needs to take notes from Nas ffs.

by MJ Fri Dec 14, 2012 5:35 pm

Everyone should take notes from Nas :coffee:

More like he needs to retire.

Carter I, II are classics, 3 was alright, everything after was meh.

This is the Wayne I want to hear again:

which won't ever happen

The introvert of the clan returned with an album this week. Still haven't heard it in full yet, but a few picks so far.

I wouldn't say I love every track on there. IMO "Summer on Smash" is the weakest, but still a decent track.

Going to see Kendrick next Thursday at the Enmore in Sydney. Should be a great show.

Classic LL. That "Ratchet" track was off, but this is him in his zone.
