I posted this in The Wire thread, but figured it'd probably reach a lot more like-minded people here. Michael K. Williams revealed his Omar playlist to Vulture.


For the Spotify guys, here's the link: Michael K. Williams's Omar Playlist

Finishing it up now. Its pretty good. I feel great shame in not really checking out Lauryn Hill before now. The Unplugged tracks are amazing.

I agree. From the business standpoint, I see nothing but dollar signs and another 50 Cent prototype.

50 and this scrub are incomparable though. Chief Keef isn't worth a black mark on the record. He will never put up 50 numbers.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

You're aware that Jojo dissed Keef and Dirk and tried to run up on Lil Reese, Graphik?

Not saying it was the "right" thing to do (Lil Reese will be arrested soon if he's not killed first), just explaining why things happened the way they did. Keef's laughing tweet shouldn't have stirred up as much controversy as it has.

And Keef's Twitter was hacked according to one of his latest tweets.

Okay, come on now. He was hot before Kanye remixed his song.

Young people these days.

No one puts up the numbers 50 cent did with Get Rich or Die Tryin' these days. 50 couldn't have done those number if him being shot 9 times wasn't promoted like crazy.

Based off the I Don't Like single and the hype around his persona. Chief Keef would move just as many units as Nas, Ross, or 2 Chainz did their first week.

So yeah, in today's market his album would be considered a success. Expect Interscope to pump that out soon.

You really think he'd put up elite numbers for rap albums in todays market? I just don't see it.

Totally agree no one puts up 50 numbers even if the 50 saga started today brand new, he knows that and knew that and made money in other avenues with the money he made. Smart cat.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Even with good CD sales, how do you successfully market a violent and violence-breeding musician to venues that typically like to stay away from violence erupting at their place of business? Or maybe I'm generalizing too much.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Been bumping Liquid Swords in the car the past week or so. I feel ashamed thats the only GZA album I have. How are his others compared to Liquid Swords? Same quality?

Nothing he's put out without RZA has been as good as Liquid Swords. Personally, my second favorite album of his is Pro Tools, and I've heard it was recorded in less than a month.

You're right. The names I listed were an exaggeration. I still think he would move enough units for Interscrope to consider the album a success.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

You are one of the most ignorant posters I've ever come across. I pray for you that you get in touch w/ reality and find a positive male figure so you don't continue to support the trash that you do.

Tapatalk really needs an ignore button.

lol

Please get back to work then.

Haha, that's a good one.

Sorry I haven't been on here frequently as of lately. I swore into the Task Force, protecting Lil B at all costs is a full time job.

Thank you for your service.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

So, what's the verdict on Rejex?

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Not a Big Sean fan, but I had the 1st track(Higher) on heavy rotation earlier. I dont know, but I really like the beat. Might have to hear the rest of the tape tomorrow.

What would you consider a success? As far as first week numbers go.
