High minds think alike.

If you can't find a link, I'll hook you up.

Already downloading, but thanks anyways.

I've probably listened to Erase Me 30 times in the last week, so I'm pretty psyched to give this a listen.

Love the new Lupe track, will be a good radio single imo, love the sample.

Anybody check out the new N.E.R.D album? I'm on track #5 and so far I'm digging it.

Forgot about this. I heard it leaked a few days ago too. Gonna go download that.

I've been in need of some new music, so now I have 2 albums to hold me down until November 22nd or whenever the new Kanye album leaks. I'm guessing within the next week or so.

Been meaning to mention that I love the new Lupe song. I really hope it blows up because I think Atlantic's plan was to have the album drop in 5 months and if this single gets big, then they'll push it up a few months. Fingers crossed on that.

I got that same face after hearing Kanye use the word "Ethiopian" for the 50-11th time....Like 17.89 percent of his verses use that damn word...

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Ok, Cudi album isn't that great after the first listen. I really liked the first album....this isn't as good.

Love this beat though:

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I agree. I don't hate it, I'll listen to it, but I like his first album more. A lot more. Maybe that'll change, but that's how I feel for now.

Erase Me is easily my favorite track right now, which is disappointing because I've been listening to that song for the last month or so. If I had to pick another one, I really like "Scott Mescudi vs. The World", which kicks off the album.

Might give the new NERD a look tonight. I really liked Seeing Sounds, but I never had the ambition to check out anything outside of that album. I really need some new music though, so I think I'll give that a look.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

^ Yeah that's one of the songs I like as well. There are songs I do like on this album, I just feel it would've been a lot better if he cut some of these tracks. MOTM 1 had only 12 tracks, this one has 17. There's about 4-5 I feel just aren't that good.

After a second listen....

I like: Scott Mescudi vs The World, Mr. Rager, The End, Erase Me (Didn't like it when it first came out but it's grown on me), These Worries, GHOST!

I don't mind: REVOFEV, Marijuana, Mojo So Dope, Ashin' Kusher, MANIAC, All Along

I don't like: The Mood, Trapped In My Mind, Don't Play This Song, We Aite, Wild'n Cuz I'm Young

As for the N.E.R.D. album, it's pretty good but like the Cudi album there's 5 songs I don't like and will probably end up getting rid of. I like N.E.R.D. but for some reason I can't get into their albums. This one does have some good tracks though.

I like: Hypnotize U, I've Seen The Light, God Bless Us All, Nothing On You, Hot-n-Fun

I don't mind: Party People, Victory, It's In The Air

I don't like: Help Me, Perfect Defect, Life As A Fish, I Wanna Jam, Sacred Temple, The Man

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Hey guys im an aspiring artist trying to get some exposure, so if you feel like it head over to my music page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Noah-H...9257405?ref=ts

I only have 3 songs up, 2 of which i recorded on my phone, but im working on a demo with a local DJ so wish me luck.

Other than that, I'm not sure if I liked Lu's new single. It just seems to me like he's losing his MC touch. I listened to the tightrope wondamix, and thought "ok this is some solid work, not his style lyrically though."

then i heard his new song, and thought "Wow he is really changing." I really hope he gets back to what he was doing with his stuff like food and liquor.

I'm noticing the same. Switched up his flow. The cadence is simpler now. Noticed it on Shining Down and on I'm Beamin'. Then I heard his verse on Past My Shades and loved it. And when he released Go To Sleep, I was like "OK this is what I was waiting for."

The Show Goes On isn't lyrically amazing but hopefully the familiar sample will appeal to the radio listeners enough hype the album to a degree that Atlantic wants.

Fiyah.

BTW this is supposed to be a reference track for Puffy (I know, I laughed too), but I say screw that. Jermaine needs to keep this for himself. This is a #1 single right here if it gets mastered and maybe adds another verse.
