It’s not that serious… we clearly have different tastes.
I'm just not feeling Kanye anymore and haven't in a while. The last song of his that I actually liked was "no church in the wild".
I’m a beat head. Kanye’s beats are boring af.
He's gotten to weird to even pay attention to what he's saying... He's like Bret Favre (from a Bears man) he's got some great stuff, classics even... but towards the end he was just throwing up balls while Nas is like Brady, timeless!
That's cool, tells what you look for.
ye is still in my top producers of all time list.
He played “GD Anthem” in Chicago at his last listening party, so he’s clearly trolling. Random meme sample at the end of Remote Control for some reason.
There’s a lot more out there than that though. In fact, there’s so much out there now(easier to make and release music than ever - people record albums in their houses now), that it’s daunting to even know where to start or how to keep up IMO.
I’ll check those out. Joyner Lucas has some strong “feel something” songs. I’ll give it up to him on that.
We were doing pretty much the opposite of what you’re accusing. Lol. I don’t stick up for anyone at any cost and pretend everything they do is the greatest. I stay out of the majority of the Kanye convo because I don’t have anything good to say about him, but I realize other people like him. But I did start this thread because I was tired of seeing the Kanye thread name every time I wanted to talk hip hop.
Seen Spice 1 and MC8. We just had Mac Mall out here last month and having Brotha Lynch in a few weeks. Love my underground west coast as well as my east coast stuff. Btw you posted Kool G Rap last night, he’s my #1 most underrated ever.
Who’s defending him at any cost? I legitimately like his music. Most agree on his early stuff, up to MBDTF.
You know how many people don't know about Spice 1?? Him and MC8! Did they do a show? Love the underground stuff!
That's the thing about hip hop... The best ones connect with you because of who they are, especially if they actually represent what they rap about and represent their craft. That's why in the 80/90s you could like BDP, NWA, EPMD, UTFO, PE, Kid and Play, Fresh Prince, Tribe or De La... They all did their thing even when it was different, but you could still connect with them. I ain't mad at anybody if they like Ye, he just not my thing.
Yeah, I was excited for new Nas as always, and I liked the album but I don’t think I really hyped it like that - and I don’t remember anyone else doing so either.
No I didn't see them together, they have done shows together though. Yeah I don't expect many outside of the west coast to know Spice 1, let alone someone like C-BO. I missed Mac Mall , 'My Opinion' one of my all timers. but heard the show was good. A real good friend of mine is the main hip hop promoter in Denver, he's from south central, LA so we get all the west coast people all the time, on a different note Can't wait to hear how much he paid Slick Rick. Eiht was here Aug 5th, I missed that one too, but he likes coming here, so I'll catch him next time. I was disappointed with him though in his new one with Conway, 'Honcho'
How was Jada? I might have a chance to get him out here if he's not asking something crazy, but he just might be. If he's performing good, I'm gonna have to put the good word in for him, because he's on my list to see.
Newsflash after the show... what ever you are paying Jada and the LOX, it just doubled. If you do nothing else, watch the vs... He/Lox bodied Dipset... His flow is like a hoopty with nice rims!! Straight up Trus and Vos!!
