^ That video's hilarious


back to the discussion, I'd take East coast every day of the week.

West Coast is where it's at, California Love Muther Fudga.

New Lupe's great after one spin. Anyone here heard it yet?

I've only heard Superstar but I really like it.

Lupe isn't for me.

I just bought Hieruspecs - Tiger Dancing, any fans?

yes

yeah, I'm about halfway through, and I'm really surprised.

I expected it to be pretty solid, nothing great, but I'm really liking it a lot.

Mm after like 2 and a half listens so far now, I'm... yeah... not like dissapointed, because don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad album but... There's not much news going on. And I haven't really listened to the concept part of it but that seems kinda lame too + It's too long for Lupe to handle. But thank god it doesn't have a ****ing 15 minutes shout out part again.

yeah, it definitely is too long, but all the individual songs are very good.

So far, I'm enjoying it about the same way I enjoyed Food and Liquor, all of it's good, but it's just not a great overall. I'm loving "Dumb it Down" though.

I feel like Lupe is doing a lot of experimentation in the genre. He aint hit the right key yet, but he gets a few really sick tracks out of whatever he puts out. I'm definitely willing to stick around and see when he hits that mark.

Well here's hoping the third time's a charm, because from what I hear his next album is his last.

On another note, has anyone heard the Grinehouse Opera remix of Jay-Z's American Gangster album?

^ This page talks about it a bit

Haven't heard the new Jay-Z yet, but I'm rabid for Black Album remixes so I'll check er out.


Just got Buck 65's newest.

New Lupe is mildly dope. He has some sweet ideas floating around but I dunno sometimes it just doesn't seem to connect. May be a grower.

MF Doom, Nas and Kool Keith are my top three of seeing next year.

I'm seeing Dr. Octagon and Aceyalone at Big Day Out, and Busdriver and Blackalicious at Falls Festival, gonna be sweet.

awesome^

Of the extremely small amount of hip-hop I've heard this year, I like Pharoahe Monch's Desire the most (I don't even own it though). I still want to hear the new stuff from Wu-Tang, Ghostface, UGK and Little Brother

I'd probably go with UGK. New Scarface was good, and Wu was pretty good. Still haven't heard new Ghost

I like Dalek's album the most because I am a fag.

Still need to get the new UGK.

This year was the year that I started seriously getting into rap and hip hop after not really liking it for a while, so I wasn't listening to much new stuff. I'm mostly into the Wu-tang Clan and all their solo efforts, and I'm into Common, the Roots, MF Doom, Nas, and Talib Kweli. So if anyone wants to recommend me anything I'd like some more hip hop. I've actually just been inspired to download Desire.

I don't feel it's necessary to make a thread for this so I'll just ask it in here, I need some names of good hiphop artists and groups, specifically ones with good basslines. Thanks.

This is pretty good.

Oh yeah I remembered something else I wanted to ask. I really like Common, he has good flow and lyrics and his stuff is just really uplifting. Could someone recommend me some other artists that have that uplifting, old school type feel?

Weird, I've never heard of EPMD. I looked them up and they seemed like something I'd like, thanks. Anyone else got suggestions?

Little Brother remind me of Common. Some people might also say Talib Kweli, but in my opinion he's only good in small doses and none of his albums can be sat through entirely. People Under the Stairs have a feel good old school vibe, too. And check out Exit by k-os. Í don't like Common much, though, but I think all the one I've mentioned have something similar to him, except it's stuff I like.

edit: and yeah epmd are great

Thanks man. I think I'm gonna buy GetBack when I go out to buy a **** load of albums with my Christmas money.

You gots to chill.

Time, check out some De La Soul, the Pharcyde, Black Sheep, Jeru the Damaja, Binary Star, Cyne, and Count Bass D.
