Good songs thanks. Been a while since i listened some Evidence, i always loved his nonchalant flow it fits on every type of beat.

You probably already know this classic. Guru cameo and Alchemist on the prod

NYC rap suits best this time of the year

I think Mobb Deep - Hell On Earth is the best album but i share other songs instead

Not a rap album per se, but Silk Sonic's debut album is legit.

Very short at about 30 minutes, but it's high quality and has instant replay value.

Listened to it with my kids as I was taking them to school. Jam session.

Nas got inspired when he heard Ye calling him the GOAT and came thru to snatch album of the year in the clutch

album titled Magic

A good album tbh. Better than his previous effort

Has a similar sound to his I am/Stillmatic period. Most songs show glimpse of Nas prime, only tracks 5-6 are a bit weaker. With him you never have to worry about bars and flow anyways, he will always deliver. His problem was always in the poor choice of instrumentals which make most of his later work somewhat boring.

by El Gunner Sat Dec 25, 2021 1:03 pm

i get you about instrumental choices, even if it's not as big a deal for me with the way he raps... but i feel like Hit-boy has improved on each album with his all-round production throughout these last 3 albums they've worked on together. This one in particular sounds very crisp and confident. Even for track 5 and 6 (i also found them a bit meh on first listen like you) but just listen to them more and more and they'll grow on you, and you'll find that they add variety to the overall album listen instead of detracting from it.

by Warrior Sat Dec 25, 2021 2:18 pm

Will listen a second time for sure, that's how i pick songs to enter my iPod and i feel like there is some interesting material here. There are weaker/misfit songs in almost every album those tracks are not particularly bothering me. I just think they represent well the boring side of Nas. Listenable but forgettable.

Nas delivery is flawless technically but he ain't the most charismatic MC so instrumentals have more importance when i listen to Nas than any other rap legend. His artistic choices the last 20 years have been bizarre. Compared to Illmatic for example, where his texts take all the place as it should but it's so well supported by the beats, like few grains of salt in a soup gives it much more flavor.

For me the goat MC is Prodigy but then he had perfect chemistry with Havoc, it helps

i mean he had to do something because J. Cole took over the best rapper title with just two features so far this year.

So far this year we've had Denzel Curry, Earthgang and Pusha T dropping some great albums The Offical Rap Thread Part 3 - Page 23 1f64c

Can't wait for Kendrick.

by El Gunner Sat Apr 23, 2022 7:27 pm

didn't listen to Earthgang yet... kinda skeptical after their last album which i didn't like. Still need to listen to Pusha as well, but i know that's gunna rule regardless.

Denzel Curry was nice indeed, especially the first half of the album.

by El Gunner Fri Apr 29, 2022 11:20 am

probably my favourite from the album... Pharrell went crazy with some of these beats

Future's album is great if you like Future. One dude who never changes his style and I'm perfectly fine with it.

by El Gunner Sun May 01, 2022 10:26 am

not really a fan of his music, but a fan of his style and the comedic toxic masculinity culture he has spurred on.

Only album of his I like is Honest.

Listened to the album today in the gym. Liked it alot. Always loved Push albumbs.

by Hapless_Hans Tue May 03, 2022 9:12 am

I went to see a couple of guys called Armand Hammer on Sunday.
It was nice, even though they apparently had missed their original flight and got into the venue only when the show was already supposed to start. So then I had to leave when the show was still going as I had to get up early.

Does anyone know them? Opener was a kid named Fly Anakin whom I liked too.
