Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

So I can't compare, but all I can say is it's all No ID produced and Common comes through. I'm not even sure there's a bad song.

You had me right there. he last time they worked together was One Day it'll All Make Sense....aka my favorite Common album.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

The only other instrumental albums i enjoy are Madlib's various projects, but his vibe is a completely different animal than DJ Shadow.

Well his Shades of Blue album where he got access to Blue Note Records catalog and reworked it might be close. Couple bits from that:

I'm partial to the Beat Konducta series though.

Thanks. I really liked what I've heard from Madlib in my limited experience (Madvilliany and random other stuff). I also checked out Donuts and that was pretty good.

No takers?

J. Dilla
Prefuse 73
Nujabes
Madlib

That would be a good place to start.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

That 103 is kinda tough.

Common's joint is tougher.

The Roots' album is the toughest.

Either way, it's good way to close out 2011. Now if I can only get that Outkast Gangsta Grillz to come out like I've been wishing for the last 3 years and either a solo album from Three Stacks or a new Outkast album altogether, then I'm good lol.

Man, I swear.

You have been talking about the Gangsta Grillz mixtape, the 3000 solo, and the new Outkast joint for all these years to the point where I was anxiously waiting for them all to drop myself. These albums are never dropping and I hate you for getting my hopes up and thinking they would.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I just now saw that Nas and Common are putting out a joint album. Already can't wait for that to drop.

Hell yes. It's grown into a great tape to me.


That video was nice too.

Haven't enjoyed a project from Lupe Fiasco since Food & Liquor.
