The Hip Hop Thread - Part 3

[Kickin Goals]

Given it a few listens now and I am just not feeling it. Personally think Ye is average i’d say his worst album yet.

 

[EBUS]

While it lacks the special feel that other Kanye releases have, its still a very nice listen.

Kanye said he had another album done but scrapped it and made this after the TMZ incident.

 

[Keith Ape]

Solid album.

The only weak point is the start of "I thought about killing you" which came across as trying to sound deep like something written by an angsty teen on Myspace back in the day. However, the start of his verse when he comes in with "I called up my loved ones, I called up my cousins, I called up the muslims" I almost threw my phone across the room in excitement.

Best songs are Wouldn't Leave and Ghost Town

Slick Rick and Raekwon last night was pretty memorable. Was anyone there or all too busy listening to Kardashian?

Hows the 90s treating you?

Well, thanks. It was a pretty diverse crowd age-wise so if you didn't go because you thought it was for old men, you missed out. Plenty of youngsters who knew their s**t and were rapping along to 80s and 90s classics. I went with my 18 year old daughter and she had a great time.

I’m only messing with you, I actually like raekwon quite a bit. He’s not on “kardashians” level though.

Ye is fine, but can't help but feel that almost all of the tracks have been done by him in the past, and better.

Gone back to back where the peaks have been non-kanye - chance/ultralight, 070 shake/ghost town. Give me No Mistakes w/ Charlie and that Hey Young World sample too. Violent Crimes is a rapper's cliche, but how detailed it is and just completely unaware is pretty off-putting tbh.

He's not going to put out anything bad, but I'd like to see him just get back to a complete, carefully constructed LP instead of trying to mythologise his artistry with two-week productions or multiple revisions.

Black Thought's EP is more deserving of your attention.

He did it again. I really enjoyed KSG on first few listens. I didn't even initially enjoy ye that much.

As a project, DAYTONA/ye/KIDS SEE GHOST is bloody strong. Hopefully Nas and Teyana can finish it off strong. Got a good feeling about Nas featuring Kanye production.

You sound like a cool dad.

My old prefers The Animals and Steve Earle.

My kids were exposed to plenty of 80s and 90s hiphop growing up but I also fed them plenty of other genres as well (even stuff I don't personally like but recognise as good music). The daughter that went to the concert with me is actually more into folky stuff but she loves Uncle Ricky. My youngest is a much bigger hiphop fan and once she turns 18, I'll go with her to whoever is hot and touring in 2020.

Ye is 50% boring singing

[Richard Cranium]

Didn’t have time for a full listen. Heard two good tracks and one s**t one. Promising.

 

[Carl Hooper]

flow is so off on most of these slow beats

so much over producing

I thought this too.

Listening to the new Jay Rock album now and enjoying this much more.

Sad to lose him so young, especially since it seemed like he was turning his life around.

However, when he first started blowing up I gave his music a go and it just didn't appeal to me at all. Also, seems he was a pretty shitty person (allegedly)

No great loss really.

 

[Carl Hooper]

he beat his pregnant gf, made terrible soundcloud rap music, punched his fans, pretended to be woke...

but i still don't wish murder on someone..

hope his fam is alright
