I like to think that I know a lot about the history of hip-hop, but at the end of the day I just love beats and rhymes. I fell in love with hip-hop when I heard what people were doing with words, I remember being amazed that people could do that (i.e. 16 bars of 8 syllable rhyme schemes), and it's a lot easier for me to talk about how incredible it is that 'MC Y' or 'Producer X' did 'Thing Z' than the sociopolitical undertones of why it exists in the first place.

What were some of the things you discovered that suprised you?

e: also a little bummed about Akrobatik, hope he pulls through. i'll listen to some Perceptionists today because that will help

I mean I never knew who started the MC thing, and I found it was DJ Kool Herc. I then learned about "breaks" and what the "break" contributed to hip hop (it's also where b-boys and b-girls comes from along with "break"dancing).

Pretty much this, 16 Year Old me was completely fascinated by that 7 Minute Freestyle with him and Jay-Z.

Also, PL3DGE leaked and it's about everything I expected out of Killer Mike, which means I'll still buy it first day. I will say the Ready, Set, Go Remix will remain in rotation for awhile longer and That's Life 2 is one of my favorite tracks that I've heard this year.

Just skip over the boring ones consisting of west coast/east coast stuff and get him the best freestyle ones. Like that nearly 40 minute freestyle at the end of June 27th. I like Southside Still Holding a lot too. And obviously 3 In The Mornin' Pt. 2

It blew my mind when I found out that the June 27th beat was originally a Kris Kross song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKVxZAV_qhg

also I always post this whenever Screw tapes come up:Ten Screw Tapes even though my personal favorite, Endonesia, isn't on there.

and if any Screw heads are looking for good recentish stuff I gotta recommend OG Ron C again since his Real Takeover (sponsored datpiff link) feels the most like a real Screw tape out of anything I've listened to in a long time with the mix of artists and blending between songs. It's worth it just for Devin, Snoop, and 3 Stacks chopped not slopped on What A Job which is top 5 of the last decade for me

is anyone interested in the new Lil B mixtape that's droppin' in a few days? i can't wait now that i'm finally caught up with all his work. it's called Bitch Mob: Respect The Bitch Vol. 1. there's a bunch of tracks on youtube he's been posting up and it actually sounds really good. i'm a big fan of his though so i may just be biased, but it really sounds like he's taking on a completely different style for this album, and it's a full on project with a few other rappers he's good with. here's some links for you guys:

Aloe used to rap. There was this song on his first solo album and he had a project called Emanon with Exile.

If you look on some Blu mixtapes/EPs you'll find tracks with Aloe like Party of Two (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPfw7eRPRWQ) where you could tell Aloe was gonna blow up, and then there was that whole HBO show to confirm it. Here's another track where Aloe raps that's pretty good, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_4mmkSTSiQ

I've got an interesting challenge that's surprisingly hard for me. I have a friend who challenged me to "find him a rapper that goes harder than Eminem". While this sounds easy enough, he's not exactly what I would call a true rap fan. He's completely submerged in top 40 stuff so I can't give him a lot of the better rap I have because I think it'll go unappreciated. All I can think of off the top of my head that'll satisfy him is a bunch of old Three 6 mixtapes or maybe Kendrick Lamar since he's current. Any ideas?

Just now catching up with the thread but I think Tech N9ne or Royce would stand the best chance of convincing him. But as Caveman said, you're most likely just wasting your time.

Yeah, Gangland & Messiah were supposed to be released already.

I'd really rather not know. He's one of the sad losses of potential in the rap game other than what albums Lauryn Hill and/or the Fugees could've put out. I really enjoyed Godfather Buried Alive and then by the time he comes out of jail for some reason his voice and style and everything are all total utter horror.

I'm pretty sure they're delayed or something, because I see no signs of them being released. Going by how utterly bizarre and crap the supposed singles were, it's something better left buried for all concerned. I mean, for most rappers, even crappy weird ones like Lil B or Waka Flocka Flame, there are still people that consider themselves fans of their music even if they're just saying it ironically. I didn't see any signs of that with the new Shyne stuff, it's just so weird and crappy that people can't even pretend to like it. Too horrible to be played on the radio or be underground. The new Shyne stuff wasn't "so bad it's good" or "so bad you could pretend to like it for laughs" it was just...bad.

At least the Yelawolf Shady debut seems to be proceeding well.
