Thread for hip-hop news, hype, discussion, etc...

Positivity only. If you don't like an artist or a song don't be a dick about it.

I'll start by saying that Kendrick is a fucking boss. This Untitled Unmastered is some fucking heat.
 
Also, I just found this funky ass collab album with Dam Funk from Stones Throw records and Snoop Dogg, titled "7 Days of Funk" idk how I missed it when it came out.
 
Kendrick is overrated. TBAB and Untitled Unmastered are both just think piece baits for shit head music 20 something year old "critics" who think they are progressive and have good taste.

Also There is nothing that makes this thread official.
 
What yall think of Tyler & A$AP Rocky? Seems like an unlikely friendship but "What The Fuck Right Now" was fire, the music video was fucky but they were just having fun

He's definitely good but I wouldn't consider him anywhere near legend. Sometimes his lyrics and punchlines get repetitive IMO.

I used to be a die hard fan, but his raps aren't good anymore. Yes, they flow, but the rhymes don't make you drop your jaw. He uses the same lines too, like "hit you with a beretta" at least 4 times in the new album. Shit like "my mind is gone", "let me bring it back". I really wish logic wrote a song with just hard bars, few pauses, or switching the rhyme pattern. Much love tho

Who's your favorite rapper? I agree with everyone on your list except for Kendrick.

I listen to so much hip hop, I couldn't just have one favourite. I have like 15 different rappers I listen to regularly but always gotta listen to different stuff.

I agree, his "older" stuff was crazier than what he's doing now. I feel like now he just tries to rap with lyrics that allow him to use that same style he's been using, and that's making some of his bars a little stale. I still think he's tight though

Kendrick is probably the worst on that list, sellout rapper. Section.80 was the last good Kendrick, but it wasn't even that good.

You can't even say that. TPAB is the most anti-pop/sellout hip-hop album I've heard in a while. Even if you don't like kendrick you gotta agree that he has the best delivery.
 
Listen to this shit. Found it on Reddit this morning. Mix of hip hop/ambient sort of music. The words are meh but the production...oh my god the production.

Did you listen to pimp a butterfly? There were some real ass songs on there like the blacker the berry and how much a dollar cost. If anything he's the best on that list.

Didn't listen to any songs off that album, heard "I" and instantly boycotted Kendrick. That whole TDE group pretty lame.

Well yeah that song is about himself it's not a good song at all but the rest of that album is real and raw as hell

IMO Kendrick and J Cole come off as 12 year old girls. Not that I don't respect their take on rap or their skill set. But back to the thread gotta say I enjoy most kinds of rap always good to mix it up lately been listening to old wiz and bone thugs.

love hate relationship with Rich the kids music, he usually sounds like he's just yelling really fast, but I fuck with some of it sometimes. His verse on Migo Gang X Slaughter Gang is crazy

I don't think I have good taste. I just like music. Idk why everyone has to be so critical of everything. I think Kendrick is decent lyricist but not great by any standards, but his beat selection and content is excellent. The combination of the three make him one of the best out right now. You can't ignore the majority opinion of an album like TPAB and say it's garbage when there was huge backing for it in Compton and all of Cali, as well as many other artists praising it. I myself don't find it to be an extremely listenable album, more of a "think piece" as you put it, but the singles on it are fuckin jammin. King Kunta and Alright are real good songs IMO and the whole album works together wonderfully with the continued skit ending with the 10 min "Mortal Man" track and the commentary on solidarity and unity in the black community.

Kanye sucks ass
Click to expand...

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion man

You can't deny his production talents are off the charts. "Ain't No Love (Heart of The City)" by Jay-Z is, I think. one of the best beats ever. Not to mention his artistic vision in creating 808's and Heartbreak YEARS before that sound really came about. I mean, T-Pain was auto-tuning but not very similar to the electronic influence that Kanye brought about. Not to mention the resurgence of the soul samples on and after The College Dropout. Yeah he sucks as a person and is an egotistical idiot but his impact on hip-hop has been massive.

Kendrick, J.Cole, Kanye, Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, and Travis Scott all terrible.

That's just silly.

13648112:Fred_Bear said:
According to this kid if you dont like kanye youre not a real hip hop fan
Click to expand...

That's just false.

There are clearly no real hip-hop fans in this thread because it's just a bunch of shit-talking and hate, which is not what hip-hop is about. As well as the fact that nobody mentioned an artist that isn't featured heavily in the mainstream right now, nor any classic rap or anything they thought was interesting in hip-hop right now.

Anybody even know who DJ Kool Herc is? lol ... 1540 Sedgwick Ave? Kool G Rap? Afrika Bambaataa?

Here's a link to KRS-ONE's lecture on the beginning of hip-hop, very cool stuff.

Also a super sick "city cypher" that Complex is doing, hopefully they start doing more. Bringing artists from the same city together to freestyle over live instrumentation. Fergie goes in on some real shit.

Yeah I have a similar opinion on Logic as a few people in here. I really fucked with Young Sinatra because his sound was new and he went in hard lyrically, but as he keeps putting stuff out he hasn't really experimented with anything new and I got sort of bored with "The Incredible True Story" also for some reason just really didn't like the whole space concept idk why because I am usually pretty stoked on well done concept albums.
 

found this NY rapper named Wiki. Really good with an interesting style. I can see him making an appearance in the underground world at least. Maybe even break through to pop culture sometime.
