I wish y'all young cats would get better goddamn names man. Pac, Nas, Big, Guru, etc. Those are good names. This shit they go by now is horrible... Earl Sweatshirt? Get the fuck right out of here, you sound like some goddamn dude dickriding a position handed down to a mentally challenged relative of the Queen of England with that shit.

Dame might be the most fascinating character in Hip-Hop. Chris Rock needs to produce a comedy show based on him.

All sorts of a felony in his waist
But who are you? She only loves me when I'm naked



Big Body Bes, one of the GOAT hype men. I need an album of him just talking shit, no rap.

Big Body Bes, one of the GOAT hype men. I need an album of him just talking shit, no rap.

Honestly, the GOAT hype man was Nate Dogg. He just did it on another level.  His hooks saved so many shit rappers it isn't even funny (I'm looking at you, Warren G)

RIP Dogg   

[Phoenix Dark]

Nate Dogg wasn't really a hype man. I'm talking about hype men like Flavor Flav.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Nate Dogg wasn't really a hype man. I'm talking about hype men like Flavor Flav.

He actually was. And he started that way. He just transcended the game Jordan style and did something nobody has ever seen before.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

I wouldn't call him a hype man myself, but I see where you're coming from.

At the end he wasn't, he was a main draw. But when Snoop got together his whole family and friends when Dre got him locked up Nate started by hyping the fans. Then the minute he told Dre "hey man I got hooks" and Dre said "show me" dre put him on what was a shitty "Regulators" track and made it an instant party classic....shit was ON from then on out.


Source: I was there.

Edit: I should point out he came out on The Chronic first, but Regulators was already in the can.

213 niccas, 2-1-3.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

He was giving the chance on The Chronic with Deez Nuts, at least that's the earliest record I heard him in.

I'm agreeing with you, if that wasn't clear.

Actually regulators was recorded first but it took the legendary shithead Warren G about 2 years to get enough decent cuts to make an album. I mean I like the guy but he wasn't really thug and trying to pull it off was painful.

It would be like PD in a room with Ray Lewis and Dez Bryant. 

BTW the dude could hook anything. He could create a hook that would sell millions describing how you wipe your ass. Not even kidding. Pure Genius rhymer.

See, there you go. I would have had Betrayal by gang starr in there but i forgot about it. impossible to sum up the shit you like in 10 songs

I was being sarcastic, I love ya bro.

It's because you're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and not only wants to know what's going on, but has strong opinions on what went on even though you didn't see it.

Ironic you say that as I was being sarcastic. So therefore if I'm black Donny, you're gaypending Black Donny who dresses like 40 year old white businesscacs sans matching socks

You are allowed to laugh when you can name somebody better, we'll wait.

[Courage]

you're probably right, Kanye most likely pissed someone off. Still I'm surprised such a cac-classic like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was snubbed.

My peer-reviewed cac data gathering and research indicates that the people who vote for grammies are mostly old ass caucasoids that are into stuff like The Beatles and Bruce Springsteen, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Cactasy is slanted toward the type of white person that stans for Radiohead, Animal Collective in the 00's, owns all apple products, and possibly played a glut of Sega and Nintendo-developed videogames in childhood and adolescent periods. I'd estimate this subgroup of democrat-voting but not too liberal to actually be a socialist cac to be anywhere between 17-28 years old at this point.

As far as actual rapping? BDK and Rakim for starters. Dozens of others as well

[Phoenix Dark]

nah weeknd lost me with Kiss Land, which is like the stereotypical major label album that eschews the previous sound for a cleaner, boring one.

Mixtape wise the first one is the best, but all three are dope. The third is the second best imo. At the end of the day he looks like what I thought he'd look like: the type of dude who would drug and rape a chick.

Dude lost me at Echoes. I hated on Thursday when it dropped but that project imo was sonically more adventurous than any of his efforts since.

wait at or after? Cause Montreal is a pretty great song
same with XO/The Host
not to mention Initiation

[Phoenix Dark]

Yea Thursday has an interesting, different sound; more downtempo overall plus some acoustic stuff. The Birds II is probably my favorite Weeknd track as well. I don't like the mixtape as much as HOB but it's still solid.

Echoes moved in the darker direction I wanted (production wise). I also feel like it's a showcase of his voice moreso than the other projects; he proves he can actually sing.

Too bad Abel burned bridges with Geoff Barrow...I'd love to see a collab between them. Dude sounds like a legit asshole IRL, hence why his initial producers bailed. Luckily they made nice recently.

respect

and yea the portishead thing was questionable at best
but given the weeknd seemingly mending bridges with the right producers the past year, im quite optimistic for his next album
definitely willing to give him a pass for kiss land (which while i liked, was definitely not up to the level of the mixtapes)

[Phoenix Dark]

Yea I'm more than willing to give him a pass. He gave me three dope mixtapes, I can't hate. Also I like his recent singles. Often was super dope, I like Earned It, etc.

[Syph]

yea i was pleasantly surprised to see often has 36+ million views
pretty crazy rise thanks to that 50 shades exposure

[toku]

I actually liked Kissland (The Town is so good) but yeah, those mixtapes were definitely his highest highs so far. I don't really like earned it but I love Where You Belong. I get why people have totally thrown him into the bushes post HoB though. By the end of "Knowing" the one long night theme was kinda played but I can't hate him for making a much longer career out of it than I expected.

Who woulda known him not signing with Drake was smart. My sisters friends love him now which is crazy.

I liked Blue Chips and a some of his throwaways, but I was kinda lukewarm on Bronson til I saw him live. He disappeared for like five, ten in the middle of his set while 9-24-11 beat played on loop before emerging from the back of the venue into the audience, walked through the floor, vanished again. A few minutes later he appeared on the mezzanine, walked down the aisle and then his fat ass climbed over the barrier and rapped on the balcony for a minute. Went through the other exit and disappeared once more before doing the same thing on the second level of the mezzanine a minute later. Amazing. 
Also dude looked like he was maybe 5'5", so those bodyslam youtubes are extra impressive to me now.

[seagrams hotsauce]

I really like the new Earl. His non-Nyquil delivery is a relief, he's not leaning on Tyler's spotty production, and he's rapping as well as he did on EARL without the shock-factor corniness. It's still really dense and almost taxing sonically, but that works so much better now that the other shit I've listed is there to compliment it.

[Beezy]

Bronson threw two 42" LCDs, 3 iPads, and an Xbox One into the crowd. And a bit later he threw about 30-50 sandwiches. The first one he threw wasn't taped, so it unraveled and hit some girl in the face.

[sarslip]

Terminal 5, nice, that's a large venue to sell out twice for any act.

None. I heard he threw one fan on Tuesday night though.

you dropped a dud breh

be glad your personality has taken you further than rap

I love the musical interlude. All those tracks are the best on the album until Easy Rider shows up.

not a commercial dud anyway, and actually not a critical dud either



dude just sold out Terminal 5 two nights in a row after a sold-out release party.  He's popping on the radio in ny and with the ny fan base, which should be his primary goal as a ny rapper anyway.

that said twitter tirades are never a good look.

[Phoenix Dark]

Sort of reminds me of some reactions to TPAB in terms of realizing a whole lot of people have no frame of reference for music beyond contemporary rap. Not all the rock stuff works but lord knows City Boy Blues is one of the best tracks of 2015. The Addict track is top 5 Bronson.

My Mr. Wonderful complaint is that despite the production diversity he raps the same on every track. He has switched up his flow before, like on Contemporary Man...but here it's just NY rap flows over everything, even when it doesn't fit.

At the end of the day Bronson has given me so much free shit that I can't diss him. He wants $9 after all that free shit? I'd be a jerkoff not to buy it.

[sarslip]

i mean, at least not according to what he said in interviews.  the opposite was true, spending nights making sure drum EQs were perfect was his example, also being present for all studio work this time around....

i rank it below BC1-2 and Rare, i like when artists try new things.  also, i would ditch Only In America for Big League,

[Mr. Nobody]

Nah, Chef BoyarBronson undercooked this one a bit. Terry's the only song I'm going back to while the rest is either "ok but nothing new nor is it even a good rendition of the same formula" or "neat but I'll probably never listen to this again"

Even Big Body wasn't as funny this time around.

I'm good. He's given us better work for free.

what a fuckin loser lol

"This is in the Bahamas, that is Keegan Bradley in the blue shirt, yes, Brady is in khaki shorts, and yes, MJ not only talks trash but *calls fouls* in pick-up ball at age 52.

I can't hear exactly what he says, but first there's an "and-one," in then he suggests his defender look up "Michael Jordan's career" on YouTube. You know, so he can figure out how to play better D against the greatest ever."

tom brady goat tho

actually that's awesome, and he hit pure net on that butta soft fadaway, kid prolly will go home and youtube mj

As a Quik stan and Dre hater that shit is like medicine to me.

tho i do think 2001 holds up better than the blueprint

[close]

[sarslip]

dre would basically have drum patterns programed on the mpc 2000, and they would get turned into beats through "studio magic"

Scott Storch former Root, deserves a lot of the credit for C.2001's sound. 

[Am_I_Anonymous]

2001 held up terribly IMO, especially in comparison to something like TBP.

Pause 4 Porno , way too many tracks.

OG Chronic > 2001

Yeah OG Chronic is better but some of the shit on 2001 ain't bad.  Can't make a hoe a housewife is still tight.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Problem with eminem is it was too much too soon. Dre shouldn't have released so many of his albums within that first 5 year period he was out. He definitely is one of the best MC's of all time, but by now he's so played out you rarely hear anybody play him anymore.

[sarslip]

Bunch of beats i made

Yeah, I think it's well known that Em's music and antics age like milk.
