Re: The Official Rap Thread part 2

[dmize]

I got both Gifted and Freddie Gibbs ESGN last night.

And Clams Casino is pretty dope. Harry Fraud, Mike Will and CC are 3 of my favorite new school producers.

Have you heard '88' yet? The references he makes to MJ and basketball is insane.... I had to use rapgenius to fully appreciate his lyricism.

Checked out some of it last night. And that 88 track was probably my favorite that I heard. Intro was cool too.

"these rappers is Sam Bowie to me
I was a Bowie student
It wasnt really nothin
Thats why I kicked it and blew(blue) grass like a Boise Punter"

last line was nice. And Sam Bowie has been a punchline for rappers for the past 30 years

edit: "I ball for real: y'all niggas is Sam Bowie
And with the third pick, I made the earth sick" - Jay-Z

"look here, you Sam Bowie
Scram scoobie" - the Goat killa Cam

"Damn moolies, chain of command's ran through me
You and your man uzi, +Slow Down+ like Brand Nubie
Can't do me, grant to me, like a man groupie
If that's the number one pick, then he Sam Bowie" - Joe Budden

never gets old

And who will be the first rapper to reference Aaron Hernandez. I would say either Budden or Wale.

Who even buys Drake's Crap?

you should get banned for this post

[El Gunner]

Yeah if the album doesn't leak. Nothing Was The Same will sell around one mil in its first week.

Joey Badass new mixtape dropped.    

Haven't listened to it yet, but I know it will be insane.  

download here:

[EarlyPrototype]

"It's raw poverty I kicks philosophies
Not because I rock Soccer tees"

"I can subtract one with the gun that's true trigonometry"

"Shawty ask what I'm holdin', teasin' 'em
Knowing the magnum blast squeeze magnesium"

"From lookin' up to niggas, to lookin' up niggas meetin' 'em
Meetings with 'em, give 'em a high pitch like curveballs and helium
Young scorcher trying to evolve like Charmeleon
Million, yeah nigga, just tryna get a million"

Some lines from first three tracks. He is easily up there with greatest lyricists ever. Only 18. Will go down top 5 all time. Bold prediction, but it will happen.  

[dmize]

Great mixtape, not sure if it's better than 1999 but it's right there. Gotta give it more listens.





too many good tracks

[EarlyPrototype]

Yeh 1999 is slightly better.

Btw just downloaded Magna Carter.

Album is f***ng trash tbh. Amazing production on a couple of songs but it lacks any direction, emotion or visionary whatsoever.

At least Yeezus was cohesive and structured.

Same bars he's been spitting since Reasonable Doubt and it might be time for him to call it a day. He literally sounded like a featured artist on most of the songs and he got renegaded by JT and FO on the 4 songs with any replay value whatsoever.

Only track I haven't deleted was Somewhere in America.

Twerk Miley Miley Twerk

In other news I freaking love that Versace song featuring Drake.

[dmize]

I generally can't stand Jay Z and would love very much to trash the album, but I can't. It's better than I expected, a 3.5/5 off first listen maybe could end up a 4/5 after a few listens. Easily better than that Yeezus weedplate. Production is ridiculous(that beat switch on Picasso for ex). Lyrically he's basically run out of things to say, but he's still spittin on some tracks. He's just inconsistent as hell.

Holy Grail
Picasso
Fvckwithmeyouknowigotit(beat is insane cant wait to hear it in the car, he had to throw Rick Ross on there tho smh)
Oceans
F.U.T.W
Somewhereinamerica
Heaven
Nickels and Dimes

are all dope

[EarlyPrototype]

Come on Gil... it is much better than trash and Yeezus.

I didn't expect anything less from production which is great. Love JT AND F.ocean's hooks.

Massively let down by BBC....


Expected a little more from the album, but still gets a 7-7.5/10

Not trash, it's just solid but I agree

But who can blame him, he's on top of the rap game with little challange left, platinum the second the album gets sold

gil time to come out of the closet, who r u in KTT, i see where u got ur smiley

[EarlyPrototype]

Dmize you heard 'Trap Door'? Alchemist's production......

[dmize]

Yeah crazy beat

been listening to 95 til Infinity on repeat

And yeah BBC pretty much sucked. Hated the beat, an Nas even though it wasn't a full verse, was disappointing.

[EarlyPrototype]

Eminem says it has been a long time since he has been impressed as much as Big Sean's new album 'Hall of Fame'. Drops next month.

LoL yeah. Versace is very catchy song. Migos just makes it a little weak. Drizzy's verse is dope.

[dmize]

Migos are dope. Versace just happens to be catchy, but it's one of their worst tracks.

Migos are southern dudes who actually got some lyrics, I've been playing Y.R.N. for a couple months now.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.... What the hell are you talking about bro? Same bars as Reasonable Doubt? He doesn't rap the same at all

[MarcoReus]

magna carter is an overhyped mess.... never been a fan of jay z and im glad. yeezus was different and not for all (i didnt like it though)

j coles born sinner is the best rap album to come out in the last few months.

has anyone heard joey bada$$'s summer knights?

I downloaded the Bada$$ mixtape to see what the hype was about.. Listened to like 3 tracks and had to stop, not my kind of rap I guess

I may try and give it a full listen soon though

[MarcoReus]

did you like the 1999 mixtape?

i like his style cause it reminds me of a young nas who is one of my favourites

Never heard it before...

[Gil]

Badass just bites of 90's rappers. Not my cup of tea either.

Anyone listened to Acid Rap by Chance the Rapper? Clearly an industry plant but I thought the project was great. Probably the best rap album so far this year along with Mac Miller's.

Oh and Doris by Earl Sweatshirt is out next month or whatever. Not a fan at all from the last time I heard anything from him because he seemed awkward, lacked charisma and was over-lyrical-miracle-spiritual......But he's still only like 19 or whatever. Has potential.

Oh and A$ap Rocky is probably my favorite rapper to listen to atm. Slowly becoming a huge fan.

Yeh it's pretty damn good. Also 1999 is easily mixtape of 2012.

Swagg. Once you appreciate his lyricism, you will fully appreciate his talent.

[MarcoReus]

i really liked the long live a$ap album, one of the better ones this year. i wasnt disappointed at j coles album, it delivered as ive always been a huge fan since friday night lights.

i hope drakes new stuff is good too, he doesnt always make the best songs but his mixtape so far gone made me a fan and was easily the best mixtape that came out in 09. take care and thank me later were alright

any one big on kendrick lamar? his album was crazy

in on everything you just mentioned. kendrick's album is definitely my favorite one of recent times, i'm still bumping most of the stuff of that now.

speaking of kendrick, friend of mine sent me this:
