Sev pm'd me and reminded me about making a new thread. :p

as for the Ross album, the single featuring Hov is REALLY nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ7TMCYqrOc, and the cover art is awesome. definitely looking forward to it.

noisereductions 01.25.2014 01:18 PM

yeah i like that cover art.

dood did you watch that Rocky interview I linked in the old thread?

louder 01.25.2014 01:42 PM

no, not yet.. thanks for the reminder, gonna watch it soon.

btw.. the Grammy awards will be held tomorrow. Kendrick is nominated for album of the year, his competition is Daft Punk, Taylor Swift, Macklemore and someone named Sarra Barellies. crossing my fingers.

Ok, is it me, or is Macklemore just the biggest fucking douche bag in the goddamn world? I swear, there's something about him (his face, lyrics, and popularity mostly) that just make me want to break his goddamn face.

I happen to know some young women who fancy themselves neo-hippies, and can't have a conversation without mentioning the evils of factory farming and Monsanto, and despite being very intelligent people, they fucking LOVE this guy. It's because he sings about how:

• gay people should be treated no differently than straight people (but is careful to state that he himself is not gay)
• NIKE shoes are bad (because people will steal them from you?)
• He said "fuck you" to a record deal, and released a record himself (which was immediately available on iTunes, Spotify, and in record stores nationwide, with a video on VH1 and a single on popular radio as soon as it was released.... Hmm)

I think he's writing songs that are manipulating those desperate to appear socially conscious young Americans by writing songs that scream "I'm socially conscious!!" It should be noted that his fans, from my perspective, tend to be white, privileged, non hip-hop fans who hate Kanye West, but have never heard "Who Will Survive in America."

Kendrick absolutely needs to destroy this guy. His song about "I've been through drug addiction and I'm honest!!" is particularly intolerable.

noisereductions 01.25.2014 02:56 PM

I haven't overthought it. I just think Macklemore's music is boring.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 01.25.2014 06:00 PM

MC Tree new shit. Talib Kweli new shit. Apparently Outkast reunion is legit with several upcoming tour dates announced.. Possible new Bone Thugz?? New Swizz Beatz soon.. The Roots working on a new release.. Kool Keith got something new coming out next month.. 2014 is already going fantastic for hip-hop..

noisereductions 01.25.2014 06:43 PM

man suchfriends, Bone Thugs is one group I could never get into.

New Roots would be nice. I love that they show no signs of ever slowing down, even w/ the Fallon gig keeping them busy.

Oh - new Young Money in March y'all.

Bone was a particular rap for a particular moment, but it was a great moment, I think in 1995 a lot of gangsta rappers caught that Holy Ghost and started God-rapping. Bone Thugs was the pinnacle of that style, rapping about street shit yet from a faith-based perspective. Plus, barbershop raps isn't for everybody either. However, these ninjaz already saw you comin..

noisereductions 01.25.2014 08:04 PM

it wasn't the faith man. I can respect that. It's just the nursey-rhyme style rapping. Could never feel it. Always sounded corny to me. No disrespect. Just didn't do shiz for me.

Kendrick is actually nominated for 7 awards. i believe he will win.. but then again, with those peeps you can never know.

louder 01.25.2014 11:29 PM

the media overhyped the hell out of that "Control" verse though. i can't blame Kendrick cuz he wasn't even expecting it to be such a big deal. oh well, it's pretty much gone and forgotten.

Hate's a pretty strong word. I tend to not be a Hater. ;)

I'll let you know if I think of anything.

louder 01.27.2014 02:46 AM

Kendrick was nominated for 7 awards but didn't win anything. fuck that bullshit.

louder 01.27.2014 03:42 AM

Macklemore = Pitbull/Flo-Rida for nerds. nobody actually knows his verses, people only listen to him because of the singers who are featured on his choruses.

plus i found some old tweets that expose him as a phony:

louder 01.27.2014 08:02 AM

Macklemore.. conscious rap for people who don't listen to conscious rap.

"YO MAN THERE ARE DEEP MESSAGES IN HIS SONGS.. SOMETHING ABOUT HOMOSEXUALS I THINK".

louder 01.27.2014 08:04 AM

this pisses me off so much: http://instagram.com/p/jqXYYAwK_y/

"It's weird and sucks that I robbed you. I was gonna say that during the speech, but then.."

yeah right, you fucking liar.

he wants people to be like "OMG Macklemore is so humble!", dude is so fake.

noisereductions 01.27.2014 10:30 AM

so Kendrick 0 - Mackelmore 4?

This is probably why I've never watched the Grammys and don't plan to start anytime soon.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 01.27.2014 12:13 PM

Duh its the Grammy's they suck. But really, what rappers actually want a Grammy? I agree with rob's sentiment that hip-hop is supposed to be somewhat more counterculture than mainstream music, so if rappers really want some street cred they should scoff the Grammy's..

Rob Instigator 01.27.2014 12:28 PM

Seattle hip hop has always been aimed more at being funny and danceable. SWASS????

Rob Instigator 01.27.2014 01:33 PM

90% of hip hop buying public is white folks

thank you. people were posting that to FB to show how great a guy Macklemore supposedly is. how are people so stupid they can't see through this shit? or is Macklemore so stupid he actually thinks his own actions are humble?

Kendrick, if you haven't responded yet, I have a draft for you: "Bro... isn't your attempt at humility undermined by your decision to post your text on social media in an awkward, self-congratulatory way?"

lulz.

T-Swift is far more listenable than Mackelmore.

Rob Instigator 01.27.2014 05:31 PM

fuck that shit. at least macklemore is funny. T Swift is fucking trite pop-lite bullshit

Derek 01.27.2014 06:26 PM

Rob only listens to REAL MUSIC YO.

noisereductions 01.27.2014 06:44 PM

lol whatever. Cute girl singing catchy songs. I'm good w/ that.
