Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I honestly, truly, can't see how Andre isn't universally considered the best rapper of all time.

Because the greatest rapper of all time was born on December 4th.

This is nice. Hopefully the full project drops today as announced.

I'm with you man. Been thinking about it a lot the past few weeks to be honest. I honestly think it's the absence of new Outkast material in the last decade or so combined with the fact that I think he's been killin other rappers on their tracks when he's featured. Regardless, he's up there with Eminem as the best alive to me.

I think this holds my favorite Andre verse.

Coincidentally it is also one of my favorite Big Boi verses.

Another Kanye interview. But wait! It's actually good and not completely filled with fashion nonsense and all that ****.

And Mr. Carter ranks his albums from best to worst:

His thoughts:

"1. Reasonable Doubt (Classic)
2. The Blueprint (Classic)
3. The Black Album (Classic)
4. Vol. 2 (Classic)
5. American Gangster (4 1/2, cohesive)
6. Magna Carta (****wit, Tom Ford, Oceans, Beach, On the Run, Grail)
7. Vol. 1 (Sunshine kills this album…****… Streets, Where I’m from, You Must Love Me…)
8. BP3 (Sorry critics, it’s good. Empire (Gave Frank a run for his money))
9. Dynasty (Intro alone…)
10. Vol. 3 (Pimp C verse alone… oh, So Ghetto)
11. BP2 (Too many songs. ****ing Guru and Hip Hop, ha)
12. Kingdom Come (First game back, don’t shoot me)"

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I'm pretty good with his list. I'd probably drop Volume 3 to the bottom though. Other than "Big Pimpin" and "Do It Again", the album was horrible. Luckily, I got that one with those 12 CDs for a penny offers they used to have back in the day. Lol.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Whats going on peoples? Quick question, are we allowed to merge in our own music endeavors as far as promotion in here? Is it cool for me to put up a description of what I do and a link to a website? Good look in advance. One.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Lol @ MCHG being better than BP2. Jay list is pretty bad IMHO.

I agree. Very overrated album IMHO.

Black Album is a distant #1 for me, followed by The Blueprint, American Gangster, Reasonable Doubt, then Blueprint III. Idk why but I really enjoyed that album.

Glad that even Jay acknowledges how bad Kingdom Come was.
