Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I just thought it was so random hearing KD on the tape..

Wasn't expecting that at all

He even cursed

After the USA training camp thing I was kinda shook. I always believed KD was one of those few people who didn't curse for some reason.

About to listen to that Wale tape. Should be good stuff since I really liked Attention Deficit.

Drake's regrets on Thank Me Later (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/164...03/drake.jhtml):

One of the most ambitious tracks on Drake's Thank Me Later is The-Dream duet "Shut It Down," a sweeping number about seduction that clocks in at nearly seven minutes. Unfortunately for Drake, an unfinished version of the song leaked three months before the release of his debut album.

The final product is a slow-grinding effort that comes to a climax with a Drake rap after the pair croon throughout their respective verses. A second leak, "Darlin' " featuring Lil Wayne, and the "9 AM in Dallas" freestyle, an urgent battle-style rap — both of which were recorded after Thank Me Later's deadline — are pretty much the only faults Drake found with his debut.

"The saddest part to me is that I would have made '9 AM in Dallas' the intro for the album, but I did it the day of mastering, which is crazy, so it couldn't make the album," Drake told MTV News. "That's probably my greatest upset, was the fact that it couldn't be on the physical disc and be a part of that album. 'Darlin' ' was a loss just because it was never mixed, and every time I hear it in the club, you can never really hear the words. I think the words are the best part of that song. I think Wayne painted such a vivid picture. I tried to come in and add my little two cents at the end.

"Most of the music made it," he continued. "Most of the music we held for a long time, and the stuff that did leak, it was pretty good references. It wasn't anything I was too upset about. 'Shut It Down' leaking early was painful. I think it could have been a bigger record had it not been out there so long. And 'Fall for Your Type' I wish was on there, but I have other plans for that record, so it's gonna be good."

Despite records leaking and the Toronto lyricist's album arriving online before its June 15 due date, Drake told MTV News on the day of Thank Me Later's release that he never considered changing his plans for putting the project out.

"They tried to force me into a situation — I'm not sure if it was the label — [but] somebody tried to force me into a situation and drop the album June 9," Drake said. "I really was like, 'June 9 isn't enough time to let them digest all the leaked music. If they got the music already, let's let them listen to it. Let's give them that two weeks to ride around to it and talk to their friends about it.' 'Cause that way, when they show up to the store, there's no pressure — you know what you're buying. You're just going to support an artist you love and music you believe in."

I like what he said at the end about letting everyone listen to the leaks and then deciding whether they want to buy it or not, instead of tripping out about them.

Uhhh no if I got the music 2 weeks early, then there's no reason for me to go and buy the SAMETHING I JUST got for free lol.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Damn! This Wale is HOT! I had only heard him on the Chrisette Michelle "Fragile" remix and he killed that. This is my first real taste and this mixtape goes hard. My favorite track is "The Breeze" with Khalifa.

LMFAO at the slutty looking white girl, eye ****ing Bangz because he's such a dope rapper and all. My computer is on mute so I couldn't hear, but the chick with the headphones and in the picture frame is actually smoking hot

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Wale's mixtape is just plain awesome. The Problem is my favorite track just a great way to start everything out. The spoken word straight into the track is sick.

So many hidden metaphors that I don't know if I am going to be able to enjoy most of them.
