it's kinda apples to oranges anyway. Ja's career took a nosedive relatively shortly after he peaked and he'll never have a comeback. 50 has just been slowly fizzling out since the Ross beef, but even after that he had a handful of fun songs every year for a while

Huh, I actually think it goes by pretty quick, and I have a pretty low attention span/tolerance for anything that's long. Different strokes I suppose

What would it say about me if I don't? I ain't Dufus here, breh. If I don't like it it doesn't mean I'm a contrarian fucktard.

I'd never accuse you of that, what kind of monster do you take me for? It would basically just mean you have a criminal lack of waviness

jk, I just mean if you don't like this you're probably not a big fan of the classic g-funk LA sound, which I can't relate to

I've started to think that his being all nudity happy isn't really much of a shock thing so much as it is dude has just got a Euro vibe to him. He loves the fashion world and that's primarily based over there...

toku is the album worth checking out? I heard it was trash but this song is top ten 2016

PlayDat · « **Reply #4148 on:** June 25, 2016, 09:02:21 PM »

I know it's not saying much, but Troy Ave and Schoolboy Q have both cited 50 Cent as a big influence.

Growing up, I lived with a cousin who was a hardcore G-Unit stan in the early 00s so the music does have some sentimental value to me as weird as that sounds.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #4149 on:** June 25, 2016, 09:16:03 PM »

I'll give you Q, but citing Troy Ave in any discussion automatically disqualifies your point

As as a huge fan of Trap Lord it was disappointing to me. Psycho, Let it Bang, New Level and Uzi Gang are the best tracks. Swipe Life is alright but kinda lesser than those. Yammy Gang about the same spot. It's a weird (corny) album that plays to none of the strengths that made TL great ant some times it works (shit like psycho) but it mostly fails.

definitely agree on the nudity, don't think it was meant to be shock at all

yeah, i can't imagine there are no legal consequences for just putting in nude cgi's of other celebs? maybe you call it parody and nothing happens?

Been on a DOOM kick recently and realized that I hadn't listened to KMD's catalog properly.

Mr. Hood was pretty good (as good as you can expect an album made by rookie teenagers in the early '90s to be).

But Black Bastards tho

It's tough for me to fully describe the savagery of this album. The Sub Roc beats with ZLX's rhymes make this an underground classic. I think it surprised me so much because it was such a diversion from the previous record. I mean, within the first couple minutes, ZLX is talking about his brand new .38 that's about to collect the rent for the month. The glorification of drugs, alcohol and robbery make this such a dark album, especially for young fellas (but, for some reason, makes me love it more).

This is also the project that I can start to see DOOM's emergence in the lyrics, specifically talking about his self-perception as a 'maniacal villain.' I can only imagine the influence this group could have made on hip hop had Sub Roc not been killed.

Sorry to rant on an album that's over two decades old, but this shit had an profound impact on me.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

I know the original masters of this album still exist somewhere waiting for a proper remaster...I just know it

That album also has one of the GOAT MF Grimm verses on it.

btw Sweet Premium Wine is such a great example for why the album needs a proper remaster.

I started off with the UNESCO page (I'm not 100% sure why I was there at this point). Next thing I know I have all these tabs open.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_heritage_of_mankind
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_nuclear_explosion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Treaty

There's also a general space law page which I came across later.

I liked the name of the Compton scattering page, but it's named after the scientist rather than the city.

This is definitely Q's most creative album. I'd have to sit with it before making definitive statements about his entire catalog but this is certainly better than Oxymoron.

John Muir whewww. I been shitting on Adrian Younge for years but this is an amazing beat. I see he co-produced it with Sounwave. Speaking of which this entire album is a reminder of how solid TDE's in-house production is. Sounwave, Tae Beast, Willie B...all did their thing.

Knowing Younge, he probably sent in some flamboyant triple time jazz shit then Soundwave turned around, chopped it and had the snares make sense/hit consistently. Sprinkle in his mixing magic on top.

here we go

you right, daps to Sounwave

I remember giving some of that album a spin when it came out, not a fan. I like some Younge, he's a cool guy but usually his ear doesn't translate to hip hop. Not a coincidence that most of the memorable samples of his shit speed it up (Picasso Baby especially).
