He speaks like with southern drawl but he's from NY. Also his production is on point and his lyrics compliment it nicely.

Too bad he spelled "Yelawolf" wrong on that single art he made. Sick song though. Did it cost him to get a Yela feature? or are they friends through the business?

I can't make decisions for myself, how does this thread feel about Hopsin? The dude can rap but his persona is terrible and horrorcore pretty much sucks and has no replay value.

For reference:

Hopsin is sick. He isn't even horrorcore really. Check any interview with him and you'll see he is a nice, modest guy. Also from a technical standpoint, he can really rap. "How you like me now" is an absurd display of his flow.

I've been to countless shows (although I'm still pretty young,) and even though some older rappers don't always "bring it," I appreciate that I was able to see some of these guys before they passed away. I was lucky enough to see Eyedea, and when he performed, it was mostly some alternative rock/rap poo poo that I wasn't particularly loving, but I am so grateful that I was able to see and talk to him before he passed.

In regards to GZA, I saw him this summer, and he was performing in the blazing sun, sweating his rear end off. He still did his thing; he performed well, and most importantly, he didn't have a million hypemen out on stage drowning him out. Also at least when he does a show, he still performs, unlike some members of the clan who just get Cappadonna to jump on stage and finish every verse...

I fully believe that GZA is an artist you should see if you get the chance. Especially for $20.

Redman and Methodman are still kings though. One of the best performances I have ever seen.

Figure this is the best place to ask:

I picked up a used copy of 808s and Heartbreak in the summer, and a few days ago it finally registered that "poo poo" in the cut with Lil Wayne is censored. I then went through the album and I couldn't fine a single other instance of a swear word. I was pissed that I accidentally bought an edited version of the album, but after looking online, I'm a little confused.

Is there only a clean version of 808s and Heartbreak?



Edit: I actually think its cool if the album was clean originally, I just don't want to realize I have an edited version and half the lyrics are wrong.

That's what happened to me for Slum Village's Detroit Deli. Then I found the dirty version. Fackin Itunes.

speaking for myself Doomtree just doesn't show up on my radar at all because they aren't ever mentioned on any of the sites I read on the regular (which focus on either mainstream/general interest stuff or down south poo poo). I checked out that Dessa album that was mentioned in here a couple pages ago and it was pretty straight, though I agree with hai that it's not really a rap record.

as for what's been good lately, I dunno really, nothing has had me particularly fired up. I mean yeah TM103 and the new Rick Ross tape are both pretty decent but nothing really stuck in my head and demanded a rewind. really the only song I've wanted to play over and over again is this Chuck Inglish instrumental off that tape I keep bigging up:

These guys are the next Roots. I saw them at Webster last year and they killed it. I highly suggest you guys get this album (It's free if you google it, but due to too many downloads they can't give it out for free on bandcamp anymore). Also head over to their tumblr to check out their other work.

Definitely listen to both Pilot Talks and the Smokee Robinson Mixtape. There are some meaaaaan tracks on there. I have also nothing but good things to say about Fast Times at Ridgemond Fly. I haven't really enjoyed Convert Coup and his more recent stuff though. Sometimes his flow gets old and boring.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nngSuIt8UFU - not as technical as the original but I think Danny makes up for it with personality. Yea he might rap a bit too much about his dick on XXX but he did release music before that. Best Of The Hybrid (an unofficial compilation I think) off DatPiff has a huge variety of DB tracks. I will also vouch for Detroit State of Mind pts 1 &4 (only ones I have lol).

Curren$y brings it live, but by the end of the show you'll never want to hear the phrase "Jet Life" again. He plays material from all over his catalog though, and his catalog is huge. I gotta respect that.

Schoolboy Q's album as a whole I'm not sure about. It's so over the top in some places that I'm CERTAIN it's not supposed to be taken seriously (almost like a parody or mockery) but it's still really good regardless. And Oxy Music is more about selling than personal use, or so I gather.

And Wale used to be pretty good, but he changed up his style and kept messing around so much that he seems to have lost everything that made him interesting before. His first few mixtapes were really nice, but now I just can't stand him.

Mixtape About Nothing is still in rotation, but ever since that song with Lady Gaga... just not feeling him.

His deleted wiki entry seems to shed some light:


At the time I remember it being BMF related but I can't find anything to support that, but does anyone else find it strange that he only served 11 days? In all likelihood it was because he had a good lawyer or they couldn't pin anything to him, but generally when you're found in the vicinity of 400k of coke there's a federal problem.

I don't really get why you wouldn't categorize FlyLo or Donuts as Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop is a culture, not just a genre, and I find that FlyLo and Dilla are more hip-hop than weird electronica. Each to their own I guess.

In other news, I can't stop saying "I don't like" is public all the time. That first poo poo that Pusha T comes in with, "SoHo, Tribeca, Three Hoes, Trifecta," has been stuck in my head all week long. Fire.
