When Wale wants to be smooth, he knows exactly how to do it.

I think I have said it in this thread before, but I don't know what Drake will do without 40 if 40's health ever prevents him from producing.

This track introduced me to J Cole, re-affirmed my opnion Kweli gets slept on, and that Jay is a beast lyrically.

IDK, Drake can do the R&B thing for the rest of his career with The Weeknd and I'd be fine with that.

Also Boi-1da is right up there with Noah in terms of his chemistry with Drake imo.

I saw Big K.R.I.T. posted earlier but this song is one of my favorites of the year.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

That Cole World album was a bitch to find. Screw going about getting my music legally . I did buy it though and it didn't disappoint.

Personally I don't think it's as good as The Warm Up or Friday Night Lights, but it's still solid. The tracks I keep going back to so far are Nobody's Perfect, Mr. Nice Watch and Breakdown. Overall I'd say Lost Ones is my favorite song. I don't like the tweaks he made to the album version of it, but they don't ruin the song.

If I had to give the album a rating, I'd probably give it a 3/5. Not great or a classic like I hoped, but not terrible either. IMO there isn't a bad song on the album, although some songs are weaker than others of course. On the negative side there's a little bit of repetitiveness lyrically and while there isn't a bad song, I'm not sure there's a standout song. Cole still needs that track like Over or Black & Yellow that really puts him over the top. I also wish there were a few more songs similar to Lost Ones or (going back to the mixtapes) Can I Live or Dreams where it's more of a story he's telling than something like Cole World - "150 bitches in the club staring at me".

Anyways, I'm glad the album has finally released. Like I said, it didn't disappoint me and was worth the money. Now the greedy side of me wants a new mixtape as well. You know Cole has some leftovers he's sitting on. I'm also interested to see what direction he goes in with the second album and if it'll be coming out in a year or the more common 2 years. The main thing I want to see is if he'll keep producing all of his tracks. He made some really nice beats for the album, but I kinda want to see him on something different produced by someone like Kanye, Premier, Just Blaze or maybe even Dre.

Two Canadian artists on one track.

Sorry for the radio edit. Canada is funny like that.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Yeah speaking of Drake, I won't lie, I'm really looking forward to his album. I haven't been a major fan but I feel he's making "The Leap" and getting a lot better. That tracklist for Take Care looks really nice as well.
