Jay Electronica posted this on his tumblr earlier today: http://eyeofelectronica.tumblr.com/...-of-nobilty-the It's a rough cut from Act II, but holy poo poo... I don't think there's anyone who's even on his level right now. I just keep replaying the song over and over again. Now I just have to wait for Act II to come out...

i just went and listened to 'damage' and that beat is kinda nasty but his flow is only unique in that it is kinda bad and like a half second off, whereas everyone elses is on time and mostly good

I thought this same thing, thought he was some lost Sunz of Man member or something. I don't think he's offensive (and most the production I heard from the admittedly small sample I listened to was really good) but he's kinda bland.

New David Banner song that sounds absolutely nothing like David Banner (he's not yelling). Its pretty corny, but I appreciate the consciousness of it. I wish more people would follow Killer Mike's model of political and conscious raps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5UcFdY-u0U

I don't know I like Mike and usually like Banner but did not enjoy the corniness of that song, enjoyed it even less with the video. It doesn't help that the things he is teaching/preaching against aren't really valid things to be culture warring against.

I've been listening to some do or die greatest hits recently and god drat these boys have exceptional flows. I think I like them more than bone thugs. Anyway, I'm looking for some more of that smooth g-funk fast rapping flavor. I'm about to check me out some early twista, should I get anything else? edit:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYsaNkQhJ6o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9oNHudoubc smoke sumthin bitch fucked around with this message at Sep 17, 2011 around 01:16 |

Warren is a pretty weak recommendation. You want to be looking for Crucial Conflict and Speedknot Mobstz. The later to a lesser degree they dont often do the quick flow as often as The others even they they have Twsita. But definitely Crucial Conflict. This is all anyone listened to i Chicago util they hopped on the Souths nuts when P blew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMHl92_mn6w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fg2NRCB9Sc EDIT: Bone is objectively better than all of those. They made it gangster as gently caress to start harmonizing your bars even though they all had crazy flows anyway. Also, they went in on the south like...instantly. And simultaenously went in on both Crucial, DoD and Twista. Basically anyone that sounded at all similar even if they were actually doing it longer than them. Bone is underrated. Hella.

ive said a million times how big a Bone fanatic I was and to some extent still am, so I'll just say I agree with you there Senate, in lieu of babbling on forever about how incredible Krayzie is.. anyways, I can't listen to Hay without immediately expecting Do Or Die to kick in with Po Pimp afterwards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzwfyPLZHb8 and then Bones Days Of Our Lives, because I was good at making mixtapes in middle school http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GVbeTdDRs4 these 3 songs are forever connected in my brain and I will always be high on the bus to school when I hear them

Anyway, I'm looking for some more of that smooth g-funk fast rapping flavor. I'm about to check me out some early twista, should I get anything else? Nice Do or Die is sick. As for g-funk, try some Bay Area stuff, especially from the 90s (called mobb music for anyone who doesn't know, it's similar to g-funk. Here's a quick description). Some examples: Guce and RBL Posse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2W3...feature=related NOH Mafia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlLz...feature=related Cougnut, Dirty Dame, and UNLV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmQxwAckd14 51.50: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flFeF6Jnp-o Spice 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbSD2L9oQUc 2-11 and 11-5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQWC...feature=related Sacramento is good for g-funk too: Brotha Lynch Hung: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ylK...feature=related X-Raided: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnqe...feature=related And speaking of Do or Die here's some stuff by the other much lesser known Do or Die, which was from San Francisco. They've only ever released one album, but it had some pretty good tracks on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh9J...n_order&list=UL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt27...n_order&list=UL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na3iZjH7B8U Rah! fucked around with this message at Sep 17, 2011 around 09:55 |

I gotta agree that Bone's way better than Crucial Conflict or Do Or Die if that whole staccato thing is what you're looking for. I used to hate that Hay song, and my friend got that album and always wanted to loving play it and it was lame as hell and still is. I'd actually put Twista below all of them, just for the fact that he always seemed more gimmicky than the others, like he was forever the token "fast rapping dude" whenever someone wanted a fast rapper (although that might just be my bias). Also E.1999 is still one of my fav all-time albums. Has held up a lot better than I would've expected to, poo poo is still menacing as gently caress. Original Crossroads is also about 10x better than the remake, for anyone who actually hasn't heard it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=234aK1Mpc0I alansmithee fucked around with this message at Sep 17, 2011 around 13:59 |

DoesSouthernplayalisticadillacmuzik go without saying? For fast-rapping g-funk, I can't think of many better albums. But I'm sure everyone here already knows it backwards and forwards. So I'll throw out Tech N9ne's old stuff, before the horrorcore/juggalo style, where he kinda sounds like he's jacking Bone-thugz style a bit.

Its hard to believe there isn't a PNW Em out there To be fair even though there are some hosed up towns and suburbs in the Pacific Northwest, the big cities (where most rappers come from) are all relatively safe for violent crime by US standards (meaning their ghetto poo poo is at a relative minimum), except for Tacoma. That's probably one reason why when compared to many other US cities/regions they don't have as many rappers who aren't on some kind of conscious type of poo poo, or rapping about coffee and snow (i like Blue Scholars, but it's kind of funny when they mention "the hood", seeing as they're from Seattle, and especially in said coffee and snow song). But of course that's assuming that good rappers only come from hosed up areas...which may be true to some extent, but only some. It might help explain the state of the PNW's rap scene though. Here's some gangster PNW poo poo by Tr3 Nut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQPz...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMOi...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqcK...feature=related Rah! fucked around with this message at Sep 19, 2011 around 02:27 |

There's plenty of ghetto poo poo in WA outside Tacoma but you're right that there's only a few major population centers that are ghetto. Most of the cities are pretty safe except for maybe a few neighborhoods here and there. There's a LOT of ghetto rear end smaller cities/towns though especially in the south end of the state. quote:Its weird since we're so close to each other and probably have the same percentage of black people in the city. Its a shame all the NW is famous for is pure poo poo like Sandpeople or Blue Scholars or Macklemore. Haha yeah I wasn't really trying to use the Blue Scholars as an example but they totally fit my Seattle rap stereotype so I felt obligated. Rah's post is pretty spot on though, in that WA has plenty of ghetto but its all small cities/towns & not the major population centers that are ghetto. (except Tacoma & a few others) which is probably why we don't get many good rappers & the good ones we get are likely to be white & inclined to rap about coffee. Also probably why my favorite Seattle rapper is a 21 year old white kid who goes to UW. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9MpwzM13MI Drunken Lullabies fucked around with this message at Sep 18, 2011 around 21:41 |

Hey Portlands had a ton of extremely pointless gang violence the past year or so. Not to mention we have projects now! Ugh. On a different note you guys got me listening to Bone Thugs again. East 199 and Creepin on Ah Come Up are sooo good I can't believe its been years since I've listened to em Edit: Oh yeah Portland had a lot of surprisingly not awful jerkin music for a while.
