Out of Lupe, Ye and Cole? Meh, your choice but IMO you're missing out on some good stuff.

Yeah i'll be getting all 3. Lupe is a must, Kanye made some awesome stuff on his first two albums and i've heard good things from Cole but not actually listened to much of his stuff. I'll buy Lupe like i always do and possibly download the other two though...

All 3 are must buys/downloads for me. The 3 of those guys are probably 3 of my top 5 favorite artists. And you should definitely give J. Cole a listen. IMO he's the best out of the XXL Freshmen.

Speaking of albums, Thank Me Later has gone platinum in Canada. Don't think it will be too long before it does the same in the States as well.

Yeah. J. Cole bores me to tears. While Lupe hasn't done anything I liked since Food & Liquor.

Late but Drake is garbage. I don't think he is fake, but I am not a fan of his style. He is not a lyricist by any means, and from everything I have heard, the only tracks I have liked have been "Say Whats Real" and his verse on "Forever." I just don't think he is a good rapper and don't like R&B. Plus, being on Young Money is just another reason for me to hate him. Also, tbh, I like more Ja tracks than Drake tracks.

I think every Kanye album has been worse than the last, so I don't expect anything from him anymore.

Love Lupe.

Everything I have heard from J Cole has been allright i guess, I still need to look into him more, but I do regret not going to a free concert he had at my school last semester.

Late Registration definitely wasn't worse than College Dropout, at least IMO. Graduation I'll admit was a bit of a step down but still a really solid album and better than half the **** rappers put out nowadays.

808's doesn't count since that wasn't a hip-hop/rap album, lol.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

This fall might be loaded with some amazing hip-hop. Kanye, Lupe and J. Cole could all be dropping their albums around the same time. My ears would be having orgasms.

Get The Warm Up right now. I listen to that **** almost daily. The song Lights Please is what got Jay to sign him to Roc Nation.

Just listened to this. It's actually a lot better than I expected. I'm curious to see how his album is gonna be like.

To me...College Dropout is a classic. Late Registration is reallyyy dope, but didn't have the same impact on me or hip hop IMO, maybe if not just because we had already heard from Kanye. Graduation pretty big step down, 808's another step down.

Personally I don't think Kanye has the raw rapping talent anymore, he's gone too pop. I'm sure his new album will sound a lot like Graduation

Shut It Down is the best track on Drake's album. Everything else...heard it all before.

My favorite track is Light Up. I also like Unforgettable, Fireworks, Miss Me and Shut It Down off the top of my head.

How much of this is new stuff? I've seen most of those tracks scattered around places. Does his album have a firm release date yet?
