New Kanye this Friday bounce

by M99 Sat 7 Aug 2021 - 12:28

My god, everything that has come out of DONDA is incredible. So hyped for the album. Imagine if he cancels it like Wolves.

by LeVersacci Sat 7 Aug 2021 - 13:09

Just hope it's not ass like Ye & Jesus is king.

by El Gunner Sat 7 Aug 2021 - 13:22

Kanye is such a troll man... turns his album drops into stretched out rollouts and performance art and of course we just go along for the ride because it's Kanye

@M99 i think you mean Yandhi, Wolves was a track on Life of Pablo.
@Lev can't use the word "ass" to describe anything Kanye Clubber

but i get what you mean ye and Jesus is King felt unfinished and not fully developed. Although "I Thought About Killing You" and "Yikes" will go down as new-Kanye classics

Nas new album is so good holy shit :bow:

by El Gunner Tue 10 Aug 2021 - 17:20

yup... album of the year so far

by Warrior Tue 10 Aug 2021 - 17:58

Excellent lyricism as usual but the instrumentals were bad for the most part. A few good songs but overall a forgettable album which is often the case with him.

Nas is a tremendous rapper with lots of skills, somehow only his first 2 albums are classics

by El Gunner Tue 10 Aug 2021 - 19:02

probably true about his first two being his only two album classics, but he is still the GOAT lyricist and always has 2 or 3 outstanding songs from every album he has ever released even if the albums aren't all-timers.

like this one

actually NASIR might be a classic to me too, i love every track on that album. One of Kanye's Wyoming produced albums, incredible quality, only the last song on the album is a bit timid.

by Warrior Tue 10 Aug 2021 - 19:32

Yes he always manage to put a few decent songs to save his albums. Overall i like Nas

The song you posted i could not finish it, Nas verse is fine, it's the others the problem. I don't like such whimpery.

Nas at his best when he just unloads rhymes on a simple beat imo. But i'm aware to be stuck in a time machine when it comes to rap

This accent is perfect for spitting bars

For me, the best album so far in 2021 is Dave's.

Him releasing Psychodrama and We Are All Alone In This Together back to back is an incredible achievement for his age.

by El Gunner Thu 12 Aug 2021 - 12:54

@Warrior if you like that accent listen to Skepta... my favourite British rapper. Also everyone else check out Loyle Carner, he's a more soulful, contemplative rapper.

@M99 didn't find Psychodrama that interesting, but i'm halfway through We're All Alone in this together and it sounds better so far. Verdansk might be song of the year.

by Warrior Sat 14 Aug 2021 - 0:59

Dave's albums are fine. He got good songs and some songs i find boring, the talent is undeniable.

I listen Skepta's albums and it's precisely what i was searching for. But i like Loyle Carner more. Got a pure flow and better choice of instrumentals. Gives a Nujabes vibe in his first album imo he should be more known.

This is great

by El Gunner Sat 14 Aug 2021 - 11:40

glad to hear you like him... definitely deserves a bigger following. Ottolenghi is my favourite song of his

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I55oZGIewkg

if you like his instrumental choices check out producer Tom Misch, they are frequent collaborators

by M99 Sat 14 Aug 2021 - 23:54

I think Aitch is overrated but this is really good.

by Vibe Sun 15 Aug 2021 - 9:43

I don't know much about rap nowadays but that Rain song was great.

Probably more down to the other rapper rather than Aitch but he was decent too.

by M99 Sun 15 Aug 2021 - 16:24

This is the best Aitch feature.

i know he is mostly an RnB singer but i figured his biggest fans would be in this thread too...

Happy 5 years "Blonde" by Frank Ocean!!! Remember to put it on repeat today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzS3WG6__G4

by LeVersacci Fri 20 Aug 2021 - 13:52

Played the shit out of Blonde & Channel Orange.

Can’t believe it’s been 5 years without a new album smh.

by M99 Fri 20 Aug 2021 - 17:13

Five years since Frank Ocean, four since Kendrick smh.

YNW Melly's album is really good. Such a shame the guy is a murderer. Emo rap is cursed. Lil Peep dead, XXX dead, Juice Wrld dead, Melly life imprisonment or death penalty. Uzi Vert the only one surviving.

by El Gunner Fri 20 Aug 2021 - 20:57

King Kenny just posted on IG that he is working on his last TDE project. Absolute scenes if he comes out of nowhere and drops before Drake, Kanye and Rocky.

by LeVersacci Sun 29 Aug 2021 - 14:52

Just seen Donda is out. Double album??

Will listen to it later.

by El Gunner Sun 29 Aug 2021 - 15:10

nah just one long thing... only a clean version so far, we'll see if he drops an explicit version

by RealGunner Sun 29 Aug 2021 - 15:39

Can't believe i never heard 'laugh now cry later' before

Has to be one of Drake's worst ever songs. It's awful man. Gives no hope to his album at all
