feck with the tape, the song with Wale is dope
I feck with Yeezus, it was different far from awful.
J Cole was dope for me, replay value decent beats and lyrics too.
Drake got frisbeed I can't even force liking him, kept like 5 tracks Jay was garbage too, few decent tracks, album carried by production
Album of the year? It's nearly December and just this week I've been giving R.A. the Rugged Man's 'Legends Never Die' another listen, 6-7 months after its release. That's got to be one of the best, in my opinion.
This is annoying me, what's the track playing in the background at the beginning of this interview?
This dude...
Cant wait more Isaiah Rashad, everything I heard from TDE been good so far and looking forward to Schoolboy Q album dropping early next year.
As for best album of this year, I dunno, most of what I heard has been disappointing. Maybe I need to lower my expectations I dont think I can remember a full album I was really into.
Jay Z's was really poor I cant listen to his lyrics anymore, he's name dropping in every song and he just sounds out of touch I cringe everytime I hear him say trill.
Yeezus had a couple of songs but most of it is just too out there for me, Kanye experiments too much his ego is fecking it all up.
Im not a fan of drake but he had a few alright tracks on that album, same for danny brown.
Ive not even bothered with Eminems album, I know i wont like it, I havnt liked any of his albums since the first marshall mathers Lp, too much shouting.
Once you make it in this game, the hardest thing to do is stay relevant. All these middle aged multi-millionaires aint got nothing to tell me anymore, thats why Dre will never put Detox out.

Anyone know? It kicks in at about 1:34?
Dope song. TDE just have a great vibe going on as a whole as well as the individual artists. Hope they keep it up as in the next few years as they should really become a big(ish) label.
Better than Eminems version which is his best song on the complete MMLP2 album, way better use of the sample. Maybe wrong to post this in the "commercial" hip-hop thread though.
The Jiggaman has ranked all his albums from best to worst.

While checking out the 20/20 Experience I ran into this remix. Pretty late but Cole's addressing 'Control' at last and it's in a pretty cool manner.
I'm not sure a Justin Timberlake track was the best place to respond to Control. Kendrick has a verse on Busta Rhyme's upcoming project and he hinted on Twitter that there'd be a response.
To be fair it was more refreshing than boring line of responses on the same beat Control was on, that were lined hours/day after Control was leaked. It was boring to say the least at some point and very little of those tracks were any decent.
FFS Cole responded by saying he'd consider smacking his girl for having Control as a ringtone?
Was that the response?
People are pissed but nobody has yet to touch Kendrick, in my opinion.
Not produced by the man but a good feature from Large Professor (on a spree of his music) -

Anyone listened to the Angel Haze album? As a casual rap fan, I think its really good.
De La Soul have put their back catalogue up, for free, for 25 hours (but it started yesterday) http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/13/de-la-soul-download-3-feet-high-anniversary/
Still waiting on my email with the download links but might be worth a go

His tape with Mac Miller is great.
Going to see Danny Brown tomorrow, should be good. Vic Mensa is supporting.
Sounds like Black Milk.
I saw then in London on Friday night. Both gave really energetic performances. Was a lot of fun!
Haha ta f*ck being changed to feck.
That new Cudi dropped today, it's good listening

Great performance I thought. Would definitely go see Danny Brown again.
I really liked Old. 25 Bucks being my favourite
I've been bumping Migos for a month now.

Went to Eminem concert yesterday. Action Bronson opened. Pretty dope. Didn't think Em had such elaborate stage gimmicks.
Nothing wrong with that at all, new mixtape sounds good.I've been bumping Migos for a month now.

What was Action Bronson like? He's playing here in a few weeks and I'm wondering if it's worth the 20 squid.
Action Bronson puts on excellent live performances. Stay at the front, he might let you get a hit off his blunt.
Rick Ross' album is beyond terrible. I actually forgot I was listening to it. Jesus, shite isn't the word.
Lupe Fiasco - Around My Way
Not so commercial ,maybe because he's to positive.

I think its quality personally. Rick Ross picks the best beats in rap.
I don't think you would classify it commercial hip hop but anyone here listen to Mic Righteous?
He's mad. Walked into the crowd all the way through the stadium. Drank beer with the crowd, smoked weed. He's got NO HYPE man which was refreshing to me. I loved his show but you need to dig his music first to appreciate Bam Bam
