Big Ghost (NSFW).

EDIT:

Another dope Chicago rapper/producer.

Butter, Burnout, and Tell You are my personal favorites so far.

I'm gonna go ahead and recommend Chance The Rapper if you haven't already listened to him. You can download his two mixtapes, 10 Day and Acid Rap, for free.

Also, ScHoolboy Q. He's got bangers for days. Search for his mixtapes Setbacks and Habits & Contradictions, and his album Oxymoron, which just released in February

Kanye's GQ cover story

He's also got a new record—maybe even a full-on pop record, though he hasn't decided yet. He knows he is no longer the most popular man in rap. "Currently that spot is taken," West says. "Let's be honest—he got last summer."

Who?

"You know. There's only one person."

Drake?

"Yeah. He got last summer. And I'd never given it up till last summer." Now he's thinking about taking it back. "It's a real question for me. Do I want to?"

What does that mean in terms of putting the new record together? Do you want the pendulum to swing back and do something more pop, like Twisted Fantasy or Graduation?

I think just my usual pattern is like that. It's like a pendulum. The pendulum gains momentum by swinging in the other direction. Even lyrically, I think about certain lines that I say on my new single, which is called "All Day," that usually Jay would say, but Jay's not on there. So I say, All day, *****, it's Ye, *****. Shopping for the winter, it's just May, *****. Ball so hard, man, this **** cray, *****. You ain't getting money unless you got eight figures. Right? Jay would have said that. And then eventually I would have came in with, like, whatever I come in with. But the balance of a meal is that when people walk in, they want water first. People definitely weren't getting water first on Yeezus. I do fight with myself to say, "Keep fighting." But also, you know, you can't win every single fight. It's a long war, and if you're out there trying to, like, blow up every single building, you won't win the war.

What about the new record? How far away is that?

I don't know, man. I hope I can get one of these songs out in the next couple of weeks, just to have something up and running. But I think most likely September. I go back and forth. Like, should it be September or should it be October? Should it be November? When Beyoncé was working on her last album, she took a while. I was thinking it could somehow come out in June, like Yeezus, and just kill it for the summer. But then I'm like, I have to work on Adidas and be with my child.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Good Kendrick interview here. Really hope he releases that new album and saves this year.

One thing about good kid that struck me is the undercurrent of the album. In every song, no matter where you are, no matter where you’re going, there’s so much tension because you feel like you might die, you might get arrested. Every song things keep getting more and more out of control even when it’s just you and your boys in the van.
That’s how I felt from actual happenings around us and in the stories that you hear. I remember one situation where I was at my partner Yo’s house. We finna to go to the barber shop. The barbershop is right across the street from Rosecrans. He said, “Alright. I’ma post right here for a second.” I go in the shop and called him and said, “The shop is open right now. It ain’t too many people on the line, might as well come over here and get your cut real quick.” He was like, “I finna walk down.”

He was on the corner with a group of the homies, so as he’s walking back to the barber shop, boom, you hear the car. The same spot that he was at three or four minute ago, somebody just came through and hit the whole block and killed one of our partners. ‘Til this day he be like, “Man, those three or four minutes saved my life when you told me to come to the barbershop.”

That’s how we grew up thinking, any given minute something can happen. That wasn’t me purposely trying to do my album like that, that just comes from the music reflecting the lifestyle. I sat back and listened to it and said, “Damn, it does feel like that.”

That’s not the same murder you describe on "m.A.A.d city?"
Nah that’s a whole other situation.

Which is also not the same murder as when your uncle got murdered.
No, that was another situation.

You’ve seen a lot of it.
Man, if I could’ve got my whole album, it would’ve been 30 songs, three discs. I had to narrow it down to 12. A lot of records will never see the pavement, good stuff.

With good kid, I know you planned the cover and the title for years in advance. Do you have album art in mind for this album? Do you have a title?
I’m flirting with ideas. Like, I said once the decision making is done then boom. That’s when everything else opens up.

It’s definitely not United States of A.L.A.R.M.? [Laughs.]
No! [Laughs.] You know what? That was so clever, too. That is a nice title, I don’t know what it’s about but it sounds clean. [Laughs.] And it got the acronym. I was like, “Okay!” Somebody playing hardball. Salute to them.
