Ok Thanks that's all i needed to hear

"Kid Cudi Announces Departure from G.O.O.D. Music"

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Damn Cudi. Well I haven't liked any of his stuff since Legend of Mr. Rager and even that had to grow on me. He's really become something I dislike what happened to songs like "Simple As" or "Solo Dolo?"

Now I'm listening to Immortal or that Wzrd album and I think "WTF" lol. And this is coming from a guy who actually enjoyed Kanye's lil departure on 808's.

Just in case that anyone listening(on Wikipedia don't hate me please) Something Else is the upcoming fourteenth studio album by American rapper Tech N9ne. The album is set to be released on June 25, 2013 by Strange MusicThe album was first announced on February 8, 2013, on the Strange Music blog.[2] On the preview on the Strange Music blog Tech N9ne spoke about what to expect from the album, saying "The beats sound nothing like anything you’ve ever heard me on. The features that I’m going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it’s a very human album. What I mean by that is that it’s contradictory. On one song I say, ‘The saint is ours’, like we’re in the saint’s corner and then I have another song called ‘I’m Not A Saint’. It’s so beautiful because the King, the Clown, and the G are still present on this album. There’s no apologies in what I’m saying. I don’t mind that it contradicts itself because that’s what people do. The album is everywhere. It feels like it’s Hell, Purgatory and Heaven all over again. I’m telling stories that I’ve never told – that I was afraid to tell on some songs. It’s super personal and I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder again. It’s always been there, but it’s getting bigger having to prove to fans and critics that we ain’t goin’ nowhere.”[2] On March 14, 2013, Strange Music released The Independent Powerhouse Sampler, it featured snippets of songs from the album titled "Fortune Force Field", "So Dope", "Thizzles", “Meant To Happen”, “Dwamn” and a full song titled "B.I.T.C.H." featuring T-Pain.[3] In March 2013, during an interview with The Arizona Daily Wildcat Tech N9ne revealed that the album will be divided into three separate parts titled Fire, Water and Earth.[4]Guest appearances:The album will feature several of Tech N9ne's Strange Music label mates including Ces Cru[5], Krizz Kaliko[5], ¡Mayday![5], Rittz[5] and Stevie Stone[5]. Other confirmed guests for the album include B.O.B.[6], Big K.R.I.T.[6], Cee-Lo Green[6], Game[6], T-Pain[7] and Info Gates.[5] Tech attempted to get Corey Taylor to record vocals for one of the albums songs, however Corey was unable to appear due to timing issues. Tech has given consideration to trying to get James Hetfield to appear on the song instead

Confirmed tracks:
"B.I.T.C.H." (featuring T-Pain)[7]
"Colorado" (featuring B.O.B., Ces Cru, Info Gates, Krizz Kaliko, ¡Mayday!, Rittz & Stevie Stone)[5]
"Dwamn"[3]

I could never get into Cudi, like ever.

Only song I bump is Day and Night, and not even his version, but Trey Songz iteration.

I forgot he was still rapping. I knew him more for playing Domingo on "How To Make It In America" than any of his stuff.

Most boring Rapper alive as far as I can remember.

The Best Rapper Alive: Every Year Since 1979

Rap fans—that is to say, people who are passionate and informed about the culture—tend to get into arguments with other rap fans. Debates are often sparked when one mischievous soul declaims their Favorite Rapper. Your favorite rapper is a personal preference, one that requires the most subjective defenses. If you’re rooting for the rookie of the year or a washed up veteran experiencing a career resurgence or someone no one has heard of as your favorite, then so be it. The choice is yours. (Got too many favorites to pick one? Here's a test: If you logged onto Complex.com and saw that three new singles from your three favorite rappers had just dropped, whomever's song you listened to first is your favorite rapper.)

The favorite rapper discussion is cool and all, but the coveted distinction in hip-hop is still being named the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). The GOAT discussion is reserved for the chosen few; no rookies or new jacks qualify. It’s strictly for the catalog artists, people who have shifted the culture in previously unmoveable ways, artists whose music has permeated and resonated over an extended period of time. It’s rap’s imaginary Hall of Fame, existing only within the abstract conversations we have about it. Since it has to consider the entire canon of hip-hop, the discussion ought to be reserved for more refined debate among only the most informed parties.

But there is one debate that every rap fan not only loves to have, but ought to have. A debate that considers both the short-term and long-term implications of an artist’s impact. A debate that pits a rapper in their prime against any and all competitors. A debate that gawks at the cultural landscape and plucks out the one who stands alone: The debate about who is the Best Rapper Alive. Being the BRA is sort of like being the MVP—even though rap doesn’t follow a rigid cultural calendar quite like major sports seasons—because it only requires looking at the current crop of active artists and picking a winner. You can confidently declare the Best Rapper Alive in 2013 without having to consider previous decades, the same way you can say LeBron is this year’s MVP even though you’ve never seen Jerry West play.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Going to be some upset people over that list.

**JODYE** · 04-04-2013, 12:59 PM

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Ehh, if people get upset, then it just means they can't think for themselves.

Every list is subjective and most of the time based completely off of other lists already made. I usually just ignore the "best ever" talk.
