Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I will say this. I've actually seen a TM103 ad while on Worldstar, so this time might be the time.

Going to have to give that 2 Chainz a spin when I get back home.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Although the Lupe album was a disappointment, Words I Never Said is one of the best songs of the year IMO.

From production to lyrics, he nailed it 100%. Still bump that song daily.

Pusha is getting stale to me, don't get me wrong, I've always been a fan and he has bars but this "white" rapping is getting a little old.

I still bump Letting Go, Words I Never Said, The Show Goes On, Til I Get There, and surprisingly I Don't Wanna Care Right Now regularly and 2Ways, All Black, and State Run Radio occasionally.

While the album was a letdown, it still is probably my favorite of the year just edging out the two big collabos. But, I'm a gigantic Fiasco fan.

With all this Ambition talk, I should probably point out that I've never heard a Wale album. Who would you all compare him to? Is he like a B.o.B.? Where should I start as far as good albums to check out?

I still bump Break the Chain too.

I'm not good on comparions, but Wale definitely had his own lane. If you never listened to Wale before, 100 Miles and Running would be a good place to start, then Mixtape about Nothing. Those are my two favorite mixtapes from him. I would start there. But no, he's nothing like B.O.B. I know that lol

Man, Biggie mastered the art of blowing up and still being ill.

He blew up, made Diddy club songs and still dropped a classic double LP.

I don't think anyone has done it quite like Big, but I maintain had his life not ended prematurely his career would have mirrored Jay-Z's (who is garbage now).

IDK about the 2nd part but yeah he definitely mastered it.

However, had Pun not passed away, HE WOULDVE TAKEN OVER!

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Luckly, Mr. Glover already raps about ****ing bitches, so if his rap career jumps off like his comedy career then nothing should change course.

He raps about way more than just that lol. There is true meaning in his music.

November could be a good music month:

Drake (Take Care)/ Gambino (Camp) - 15th
Yelawolf (Radioactive) - 21st
Common (The Dreamer/The Believer) - 22nd

Then you got The Roots on Dec. 6th

Out of those you have 3 of 4 that should be good with Yelawolf being the wildcard.

And really, with Wale you can't go wrong. I'd say start at any point, but just give them all a listen. Make sure you check out songs like "Contemplate", "Even if its Wrong", "The Kramer", "The War" etc. Wale really can't be compared to others because he just brings something differen't. To me, he is(was?) more of a poet becoming a rapper than say a rapper who does poems.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

As for Wale, start a little before, but, end at this;



Various verses after that mixtape have been good, but few and far in between.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

^ More about Nothing was an amazing mixtape, and his best work to date imo.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Thank Me Later was damn near Wayne-free with the exception of Miss Me, but why can't it be the same with this album?

I know that, I'm just saying if they try to change him (which I doubt it, but reasons why are probably not TOS-safe) it won't be a drastic change.
