The Hip Hop Thread - Part 2

[sixteenstraws]

Heard about the Flatbush Zombies about a week ago and I can't stop listening.

yep, D.R.U.G.S is fantastic

 

[Burzum]

Received a text saying that the Rick Ross tour was cancelled.

Don't like that fat heck any more.

 

[Robbo92]

Inicud will be the best hip hop album since Kanye's Graduation.

 

[chargers 09]

Inicud will be the best hip hop album since Kanye's Graduation.

I hope your joking. Kanye West has no claim to releasing one of the best albums.

 

[Robbo92]

I hope your joking. Kanye West has no claim to releasing one of the best albums.

He very much does. The production on Graduation is first class. Kanye might not have the lyrics of other hip hop artists, but what he puts together is brilliant. Alot of people judge Kanye by his character and forget about the music.

Not sure if serious. You realise how important production is in hip hop?

 

[Delroy]

Of course but there are many albums with good production and good lyrics.

Not that I even have a problem with Kanye, just that its odd for you to put it as the best album of the last five years while conceding it has a major flaw.

 

[Robbo92]

In terms of production though I think Kanye is top of the game.

 

[getthefooty]

There is absolutely no chance in hell The Graduation is the best album since 2007. And yes, I understand production is important.

Have you listened to it?

I'm doing so right now. Really enjoying it, smooth as. Some absolutely quality beats and cool lyrics. This guy is ******* talented.

 

[Delroy]

yeh halfway through first listen. been distracted with boring s**t, but some really quality stuff. 'Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst' has a great vibe.

 

[Robbo92]

And I wouldn't say Kanye's lyrics are a major flaw. But they aren't the greatest going around. I struggle to find hip hop album since as good as Graduation though. Channel Orange is brilliant but I'm not so sure.

 

[Delroy]

fair enough dude. what about OBFCL 2 ?

I havent listened to graduation for a long time, so i cant really judge...

Not real big on Wu-Tang.
I do like Undun by The Roots though, I do like Tyler and Earl as well.

Yeah, not sure you actually know what hip hop is. It's definitely not Channel Orange, apart from like 1 verse from Andre.

10 better albums than Graduation since 2007:
The Preface
Below the Heavens (few months before Graduation)
The Renaissance
When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint that s**t Gold
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Part II
How I Got Over
Gas Mask
W.A.R
Untitled
Oneirology

GKMC is so good

 

[Burzum]

Kendrick and Gucci

What a day.

 

[j0rdy1]

Talking Kanye West would say Watch the Throne is better then Graduation even if it is a collab so yeah there has been much better albums even by himself.

 

[getthefooty]

Even MBDTF is arguably better than Graduation.

 

[Burzum]

Graduation's best tracks are as good as any he's done but the worst tracks on there are probably the worst he's done.

 

[sixteenstraws]

Kendrick and Gucci

What a day.

plus the Mr MFN Exquire tape that came out a couple days. good week.

Kendrick coming to Australia at the end of the year!

 

[simba_]

I don't give a damn about Kanye's production as that is pop and has no place in the hip hop thread...

this is what I consider a guilty pleasure which is what people probably consider him.
