Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Anyone listen to the new Roots album?

its Outsanding. I'm keeping my streak alive with a physical copy of the CD come Tuesday. I have every single Roots album on CD, including Organix which took me FOREVER to find. Now if i could find that Square Roots EP.....

The singers that the Roots got for that album are horrible, I don't know what they were thinking with the choices that were made.

Here's a gem

Nothin On You ft Bruno Mars by Lupe(original version)

B.o.B. version > Lupe version.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

It sounds like Lupe's version of this song may have been a work in progress. It was too simple. Which is probably why B.o.B snatched it and made it what it is.

Speaking of athletes pretending to be rappers... You ever heard the kobe bryant song feat 50 cent? No? Well, here you go. I'm not positive who the other guy is, some say its capone others says its broady boy?

There's another version, but I think this one is the original beat. I think the other one is remixed with a different beat since the vocals don't sound right.

Kobe has some serious DMX flow in him. But since I'm a big Kobe guy I pretend like this never happened LOL.

I'm loving the track thank me now, that dude just summed up my last two on that last verse.

Uhh, shallow n-gga but deep enough to have gone swimming
I think I'm spending all my time with the wrong women
I think I have a chance at love but knowing me I miss it
cause me dedicating my time just isn't realistic
man the good girls went silent on me
they got a boyfriend or left for college on me
and all the bad ones I used to hit her friends now
that make me wish I had a little less mileage on me
but do I ever come up in discussion over double pump latte's
and low fat muffin's, do I?
Or is missing what we had outta the question
I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson
I got flows for the Marilyn Monroe's who's there before it all
I guess thats how it goes
they hear about your cons or focus on your pro's
and love you for who you are from the bottom of their soul
but those same ones from your area will grow
into women that are ready to get married at hello
because of what they allow
where are they all now
I know there somewhere watching so I'm trying to make them proud
searching for the meaning
you'll find it next to me
and tell me that I'm the finest I guess we finally get to see
I'm feeling like Nas who am I to disagree
they say that doors open up as soon as you find the missing key
it's probably why I'm in this b-tch shining
jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment
I rep the ATF in case you need to be reminded
and the bandwagons full you can try and run behind it
I'm sorry poolside drinking
margarita rounds
shout out to my city though I hardly be in town
I'm the black sheep if Chris Farley where's the crown
and I know life is just a game in which the cards are facing down
I'm in the World where things are taken, never given
how long they choose to love you will never be your decision
and I'm aware this could be the last time you listen
so while I'm still in this position...

You YOU...can thank me now!

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I hope the studio version of this new Cudi song comes out soon. I got the hook stuck in my head right now.

That's fine...I just can't pretend to like Eminem. I'd rather be honest and say I don't like something than agree just because...

Oh and Kid Cudi...lol

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Just got back from the Janelle Monae/Lupe Fiasco/Erykah Badu show at the Greek Theater. Erykah was alright but I'm not too big on her. I was mainly there for Janelle and Lupe(who I saw for the 8th time).

I got to my seats in the middle of Janelle's second song and I was pretty far back which was pretty disappointing. I didn't get to fully enjoy her performance from a distance, so after she got off stage, I went back to the box office with the help of a very nice usher to upgrade my tickets to the pit area.

Luckily for me, 90% of the people were there for Erykah so there were only a couple dozen people in the pit during Lupe's set and I was the only one down there who knew all his songs. During Hi Definition, he noticed me going word for word with him and for the last part of the second verse, he directed all his attention to me and as the verse ended, he held out his hand, I slapped it and he goes right back into the song.

As a hip hop fan, I can't think of a better feeling than your favorite artist recognizing your appreciation for his/her music and acknowledges it by singling you out from everybody else to rap/sing along with them. Then high fiving you! ^_^

Needless to say, I am incredibly ecstatic I decided to do something about my mediocre seats.



After the show, we went to go eat Chinese food and the fortune in my fortune cookie read "The respect of influential people will soon be yours." I'm going to frame my wristband and that fortune.

Great night, overall. My only regret is that I didn't upgrade my tickets before Janelle Monae's set. I would have loved to be right there for it. There's always next time.
