The Hip Hop/Rap Thread

the last months ive been hooked on dialated people's new album 20/20. It's so nice, got awesome beats and i love the songs themselvs. Only bad thing is that it's short (49min, which isnt short itself but marathon was much longer =D).

Bubba sparxx has a few good songs too.

I saw Dave Chappelles Block party and it reminded me why i like hip-hop, especially one song, Mos def feat Talib Kweli - Definition. None of that silly "gangsta" thing, just keeping it real and pure rhymes.
Thank you Chappelle.

So uh 50cents Curtis is out and so is Kanye Wests Graduation.
Curtis is much better then The Massacre but 50 still can't (and probably won't) top Get rich or die trying. There are some great beats, Fire (produced by Dre) is off the freaking chain and I must admit Ayo technology got me hooked.

On the other hand Graduation is a step down from Late registration. In no way is it bad, it's just that Late Registration was really good and had a couple of smash tracks and it's just hard to do another one that can get to that level. Graduation is a lot slower CD, with mellow beats and overall slower rapping. No skits either which is kinda of a nice change.

Eminem is just a master man, listened to Peep show on the buss yesterday, and i busted out laughing when he said "let me shit on your chest, the pee comes out just guzzle it down guzzle it down". Hall of fame lyrics right there.

Most amazing jew boots

Bumping this because of



They are back! The album kinda continues with the dark and heavy beats AND lyrics! It just sounds meaner... at least the first half. The beats gradually become easier and softer and the dark synths dont jump right at you. The lyrics are pretty much spot-on and touch on mostly politics but also some other topics in the media today eg the environment. A couple of guest artists, mos def and talib kweli drop in to do their thing, but there are also some new guys. Kweli does some of his finest spitting here imo.

The only thing that's lacking is a big track to end the album on.. Rising up is good and all but it's.. don't know lacks that final punch to end it.

The roots are still fresh baby!

I dont mind the autotune.
Heartless is cool and love lockdown is cool production wise but coldest winter and the new spacesong is garbage.

I give Kanye props for trying something new though, another good thing is that ladies will love this album so it's good for ass taxing!!

yeah i ment Anyway lol, all those beeps and shit reminds of starwars guns. He has nice flow in it but i dont like the beat or the lyrics. but... damn now that i relistened to it, it has grown on me. And that will probably be the same with the whole album, ill hate it but keep playing it.

Also if you guys havent heard the ColdplayXjay-z mashup mixtape Viva La Hove get it now!!!!
Viva La Hova !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously Mike Boogie mix Jay-z and coldplay together in a way that is so retarded (good retarded) that makes it look like Coldplay make their tracks for Jay-z.
This puts anything else to shame, I dunno how many people that read this thread but if you are glancing at dis shit GO GET IT.

808s and heartbreak is out, and damnit I love it. More hiphop then i expected and it's damn catchy. You have to listen to it in full and not in singles. I dislike some songs, street lights and the last freestyle, but the rest are nice, the beats are made for hiphop and im waiting for a bunch of remixes.
Mad props to Mr. West for trying to step out of his comfort zone.
