enjoying it at the moment. some really pretty pop songs.
of course TDE never disappoints. #1 label in the game right now.

yes, "Basedworld Paradise".

mastered version of B.M.W. 2 (SpaceGhostPurrp's latest tape) is dropping this month on iTunes. will give it another chance when that happens.

wow weird. I do like it. It's pretty different.

Just Pre-ordered. TDE are on automatic fuck-with-it for me right now.

Mac Miller on the boards?

Speaking of TDE... does anyone else think Ab-Soul is a joke?
Every head I know seems to think he's great but I can't stand him and believe me, I've tried.

Yeah, I have that Longterm Mentality album and ... Wow. Snore. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with soft tracks or tracks that built, or just plain mellow rap, but that mufuh's boring as shit.

Wait, what's TDE?

Should I feel dumb?

Probably at least a little bit. Sigh.

Control System is so good. so nah.

Longterm Mentality sucks. check out Control System.

He has the corniest lines though... I mean some of his lyrics make me groan out loud... I also hate his "I watch Youtube videos about 911/Illuminati conspiracy theories and think I know what's really going on" politics.

Yeah, I listened to that album a total of ONE time from start to finish and now it only comes on as a function of the shuffle option.

I am very picky about my political hip hop. I mean, rarely are the semi-educated "philosophical" emcees the ones who have compelling political identities. Surprisingly, I feel that the Kanye's, Raekwons, RZA's, the Jiggas-- of the world, along with obvious choices like Dead Prez-- end up being the ones with more sincere political opinions, and it's usually because they understand social dynamics and grew up in areas where race was a handicap from birth.

Much as I think Sole can shred, he will never know what the fuck he's shredding about.

fickle hip hop? blah!! you fucking white boys are crazy!!!

half of this shit you waste yr time on is.

So between the "what are you listening to?" and "louder's hip hop" thread I've come to realize that in that past few years recently music has entirely passed me by, and I have no idea half the time who people are talking about, where as 5 years ago even if I didn't like it, I had heard it.

so if louder dies would we post pics of Kaynes nee caps and extract (Kaynes) DNA off of Kim's bruised lips and do a Jurassic Park what if? maybe in 2035 we can all fuck Kim's cunt and feel "Hell of a Life" super and download it as an app while only available to those 13 under? or we could taste every pussy juice Lil Wayne has ever injested unintentionaly for free. it would be like an app of a photo of crusty white and black vagina with a receipe like purchaser of purple dank juice with the option of herpies or AIDS. mutherfucking AIDS!!!!!

AIDS!!! your gonna die of AIDS!!!

i said i would troll this thread till i die and i'm keeping my word.

btw: i think you guys are virgins. PUNK ASS BITCH!!!!

last year he had some cringeworthy features, he prolly wrote those verses in 5 mins while he was in the bathroom or something. :confused: Control System does have some really great lyrics though. he doesn't even talk about all the 3rd eye bullshit as much as people think on that album. "The Book of Soul" actually made me weep.

and he's delivered some great features lately. i think his next album is going to surprise many people who've doubted him.

I thought the pfork review was weird. See, they nailed on the reissue stuff, but then seemed to miss the new album so much. And I think maybe the problem is that by packaging them together, it creates this problem. You're forced to "compare" an undoubted classic that you've had 20 years to listen to, get familiar with, and love even more against an album you've had about a week to listen to.

Reviews are so mixed on the new one. I love it hard though. I've been on such a Mobb Deep kick since it came out. I listened to the 94 Sessions yesterday and Murda Muzik last night.

I think the 94 Sessions are interesting, but to me not really something I'd reach for on the regular. It's like, a cool piece of history and shows just how much work went into the final album. Something like "Give Up The Goods" was fully realized right? But it wasn't amazing until that beat was matched up w/ the lyrics.

Anyway, I'm rambling, but I love the new album. I don't know why I seem to be hearing things diff than a lot of other folks. But I hear a victory lap. I hear a celebration. There's so many tracks on there that are the "oh no wait THIS ONE is my favorite!" y'know?
