Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Is there any links to old mixtapes of Big L?

Besides being the punchline king (IMO), Big L is also the freestyle king:

Slaughterhouse album has leaked. I'm preparing myself for disappointment judging by what's leaked so far.

Not always a fan of new Game music, but love the ode to Bone Thugs in this one.

NSFW just in case.

Eminem is so corny. Should have just let them handle the album. How are you going to make an album with big name producers and come away with some of their weakest beats.

I can already tell without listen that I'm not going to like it.

Yeah even with very lyrical artists, there is so much you can do with wack beats. There is probably alot of people who dont even listen to a song if they dont like the beat.

You're not really 29, are you? Your Youtube profile says you are.

Lyricism doesn't necessarily equate to good music. At least not for me anyway. I know others on here feel differently.

Rewinding a bit, Easy E doesn't get the proper love he deserves for what he could do. He went IN on tracks.

Agreed, lyrics with a wack beat is better off being just poetry.

A good beat would even make 2 Chainz sound good.

Exactly. Alot of tracks could have been so much better if the beat was better.

Alot of times a wack beat will cloud good lyrics. Exactly with 2 Chainz. If the beat is hot, the song is listenable. Heck, I still listen to One Day At a Time feat Jadakiss because I like the beat.
