Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Kanye at his absolute worst in this one, just horrible. I mean you have 12 bars....TWELVE...on the whole 6 minute song...and can't come up with anything better than rhyming misogyny with whatever he rhymes it with (misogyny again? can't tell...either way, completely predictable and horrible sounding). Name drops a couple of his favorite clothing lines and rhymes them with whatever word he can think of that sounds similar no matter if that means the verse goes completely AWOL. "Captain krunchy"....come on, a 7 year old can do better than this.

Can we just admit Kanye sucks at rapping?

/***** rant. edit: h.ater is censored, LOL

Someone turn down Big Seans vocals for lords sake. And what other song is this beat so similar to? Same sample I guess, but way too obvious. Not bad otherwise.

He's had some songs where he's killed it too, I think it's more of he ucks when he doesn't try to rap, which seems to be almost every time.

J. Cole kills it again, the dude is in a class of his own, can't wait til the mixtape/album. The mixtape is scheduled to have 18-19 track on them, two of which are freestyles which is pretty sick. IDK I think he might be my favorite rapper at the moment, more so than LUPE, but when those two finally get on a track with each other it's gonna be magic.

BTW, it might've been from here but there's a video of him talking to fans like two days ago and he previews 2 songs that didn't make the cut for his mixtape, and the two he cut could've been on most hip-hop albums, the dude is sick

Yeah, I think Cole is my favorite in the game right now too.

As much as I love Kanye, he's too inconsistent. Sometimes he'll do something like Dark Fantasy, Gorgeous, Hell of a Life where he actually puts together some nice verses, but then he'll do some of those G.O.O.D. Friday tracks where his verses aren't so great.

Cole on the other hand is on some Dylan from Chappelle's Show/Making The Band cause he just spits hot fire every time. I honestly don't think I've ever heard a bad J. Cole track yet. Can't wait for the new mixtape this Friday.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Right now it's all about Lupe and J. Cole for me. Loving everything I'm hearing out of J. Cole and the mixtape should be nice.

same. Those two are my most common choices for hiphop at the moment. Can't wait for more of both to be released!!

So....word is that the Kanye album could be leaking today/tonight.

It better not be the massive disappointment that was Cudi's, which I haven't even had the ambition to listen to a second time.

I'm both excited and scared, if that makes sense.

Just judging from the tracks that have already come out these past few months, it shouldn't be.

Agreed about Cudi's album. I haven't really listened to it much since it leaked. I like a few songs, but yeah that album was a failure IMO.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Well the Kanye leak was a fail today (should be leaking some time this week though), but this kinda makes up for that:
