Too close to snipe you
Truth told I like you
Too bold to type you
Too rich to fight you
Calm down, you light skin

BRUH

I really like No Mistakes and Violent Crimes a lot. Yikes and Wouldn't Leave are pretty good too. I didn't like Ghost Town, kinda disappointed, but I knew they would be hit or miss. I still feel like out of the 7 songs on the collab album, I'll only like 3 of them, but I'll really like them, and 1 will be one of my favorite songs of the year. The rest will be trash. So it goes.

Also, for people thinking he was going to address the nonsense, the full extent of it is:

Spoiler

They said build your own, I said How Sway
I said slavery a choice, they said How Ye
Just imagine if they caught me on a wild day
Now I'm on 50 blogs getting 50 calls

And then about how Kim reacted...so not really at all. I was kinda intrigued after the hat line on Pusha's album, I wanted to see how he would spin that, but more than anything, I think he thinks his messaging is off, which I think is true to a degree, but far from the only issue there.

I don't think any of us would ever think that Ye is a good lyricist but he's always good for a few funny lines:

"All these thots on Christian Mingle, that's what almost got Tristan single."

& a few lines later:

I love your titties, 'cause they prove
I can focus on two things at once

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

The Curren$y and Black Thought/9th Wonder EP's both have enough bangers to counterbalance Kanye's (now derivative) schtick.

His "album" isn't bad, but it feels too sonically similar to The Life of Pablo for my taste. We'll see how the Nas album goes, although if it is anything like Poppa Was Playa (I think he produced that joint) or Still Dreamin' then I'm good.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

So with this decade of hip-hop coming to a close relatively soon, where do you guys rank it compared to the 90s and 00s?

I'm starting to realize how much music tastes has to do with associating certain periods of your life and being 31 now, I definitely don't seek out the kinds of songs I was listening to in the 00s. When I've tried, I just haven't been able to get into anything probably since 2012-14. I'm just not down with the "mumble rap" and am meh on Drake.

With that said, I think I'd rank it:

- 00s
- 90s
- 10s

I'm sure my ranking is reflective of my age and my adolescence/early 20s being in the late 90s-mid 00s, but I'm curious on how others would rank them. I love the best of the 90s and would maybe even rank the best (Pac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z) over the best of the 00s, but I have a wider-range of 00s songs on my playlists than 90s.

I'm in my mid 40's so I would definitely rank it:

90's
00's
10's

There's some good music that's come out in the last month or so, Royce, Black Thought, Pusha, Roc Marciano

Illmatic is only 9 tracks when you exclude the intro....

Update on the Pusha T/Drake beef: What did I say about the industry protecting Drake? Now, J. Prince is claiming that Drake has that "Ether" on deck but he won't let Drake push the button cause it'll "ruin" the careers of Push & 'Ye.....

Come on, if that off the wall **** 'Ye said a few weeks ago did no harm then whatever Drake has up his sleeve probably won't.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Ain’t gonna be no response from Drake because J.Prince said it’s done.

And when Prince says something is done, it’s done.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Drake with the "You're lucky they were holding me back" defense. Lame as ****. "Career ending" smh, what a bunch of nonsense.

I respect J. Prince's legacy and name in Hip - Hop but this is the most bull**** reason to dead a beef.

Drake has nothing to comeback with, so hide behind Prince (claiming Drake does have "Ether," sureee) & 'Ye saying to end the back - and - forth.

The DEHH crew is back at it again with the reviews.

Here's their review of Kanye West's EP (I'm gonna be honest. If a project have 5-7 tracks (Minus Skits) in it, it's an EP) "Ye".

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Apparently Wayne and Birdman settled out of court for $10 mil so there's nothing holding back The Carter V anymore...

I don't know how to feel. Wayne is and will always be my favorite, but I don't know what to expect from this.

And in Evel Kanyeevel's world,

The production on this Curren$y Harry Fraud tape is just so clean. 14 Packs...oh my that bassline. Whole tape is 23 minutes, not a bad song on it.

Kanye sounds much better on Kids See Ghosts than he did on his own project. My guy Cudi with the clutch hums, Reborn is great. Another Push verse as well on the first song, I'm sick of uncredited features man, making me chase down album credits, who do I look like? Even the song titles were wrong at first.

I consider R&B to be under the umbrella of hip-hop so...

Jorja's new album yesterday. Listen to it because she sounds like this:

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Waited all day for this Nas tape...finally hits last night. Listening to it first thing this morning and this man is spitting alternative facts on the first song, I don't know what to do. It's weird because he's dispelling myths in most bars, and then propping them up in others. It's too early for this. Love Diddy though.

Slick Rick sample is great on the second song. Don't feel the same about the sample on White Label, just too busy at times. Dream and Nas sound great on Everything, I wish Kanye wasn't on it. Adam and Eve is dope.

Daytona > KSG > Nasir >>>> Ye

Not really a big fan of Jay and Bey's collaboration stuff but Beyonce killed Friends.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Sad news in the Hip-Hop/rap world, fellas:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2018/06/18/xxxtentacion-dead-20-year-old-rapper-shot-and-killed-south-florida/712155002/

Sad to see another young, talented artist gunned down in cold blood. The art form has seen way, way too much of this bull****, man.

My condolences to his family and friends.....
