It's been a while since I've posted something relevant so here's this. I recently went through Cyhi's latest mixtape (Ivy League Club) and it was good - decent at worst. Here's what I thought was the strongest track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E5hbDzFOo0

Also, to confirm what's already been said - 2 Chainz's album was pretty much poo poo. This is sad news because I wanted him to be something but oh well. Here's what I thought was the best track from the first listen but it's mostly because of the beat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aywfvacW-_I

Why the gently caress is Boi-1da biting Lex Luger? He's talented enough to not have to do that, or so I thought?

EDIT: Actually I wrote that last sentence before I finished the album. Drumma Boy is doing that same clustered Lex Luger snare or whatever the gently caress. poo poo is annoying.

Main Attrakionz / Green Ova put out a big 20+ song tape on their bandcamp today. The bad part is they want $20 bucks for it. The good part is that it all sounds really good. The beats range from really sparse and spacey to Luger-esque bangers.

2 Chainz is fascinating even if I think he's kind of boring as a rapper.

even though he explained why, I was still laughing my rear end off at how nervous 2chainz was holding nardwuar's macaroni and glitter looking knuckle piece

The beginning of every Nardwuar interview is great, you can tell the interviewee is like "why the gently caress did my agent do this to me" and then 30 seconds later Nardwuar pulls out some crazy record from the beginning of their career and they're into it.

So that would make Juicy J a great rapper. YEAH, BITCH! <in my Jesse Pinkman voice>

But seriously, I'd love Nardwuar to interview heads of state at this point. His research is insane and his presentation is awesome.

BTW were you in Sandpeople when they did the track with Sean P? I was going back and listening to all their old albums, some of that poo poo is really really good. What's up with them nowdays?

haha

yeah man we smoked tough with him in our basement, I actually dropped a remix of that track on a tour mixtape a couple years ago

everybody sorta does their own thing now, most of us are old and busy with jobs / wifey / grinding etc

the young bucks are still p active, and I know dudes are dropping the occasional project here and there, Al-One, Gold, Sapient and Iame are recently the most active on makin actual albums but Illmac and Only are doing the occasional guest verse and battles and poo poo...as for a new crew project :confused: who knows

im bout to drop a tape in advance of an undetermined LP, but just got a career type job so we will see about the timeline on that poo poo - thanks for givin a gently caress lol

My favorite Nardwuar moment was watching his interview with Danny Brown, thinking "someone should really piece together all of Danny's laughs from that interview" only to find someone already had.

It's kinda depressing to see him chat with rappers who take themselves dead seriously.

The two sound really good together and that beat is nice.

The JJ DOOM album is streaming on pfork. A few songs in and the production is nice and trippy. Doom's sounding good but it always takes me a couple of listens to separate the best Doom verses from the mediocre ones.

VV song's pretty good. I LOVE the power metal cover Busta decided he needed.

Nice that's two good tracks from that album so far, can't wait to hear the rest...it should drop within the next month or two. About time, it was originally supposed to be released over a year ago.

DaVinci released another track called "Long Way From Home" about a month ago, that I haven't seen posted yet. It's not going to be on the new album, though:

original:
http://soundcloud.com/swtbrds/long-way-from-home-prod-by-2

remix:
http://soundcloud.com/swtbrds/davinci-long-way-from-home-paper-son-remix

I like both, but I think the remix is the better one.

And to whoever hasn't checked out DaVinci yet, do it, he's underrated as hell in my opinion. If you like those songs, check out his other albums too: The Day the Turf Stood Still (2010), Feast or Famine (2011), and Butter and Gunz (2007). I think Butter and Gunz is his weakest one, but it still has several good songs.

Also gotta plug this one song that he did with Big KRIT because it's the poo poo and Big KRIT and DaVinci are also the poo poo and should do more tracks together:

~Classic Hamilton~ There are more parts to the interview. He got so so wild, he cancelled on the Combat Jack podcast the same day. If you aren't listening to the Combat Jack podcast, you missing it. Also, Nas used ghostwriters on his Untitled (N word) album. Nas stay losing. People are trying to downplay it and say everyone gets help but I'm going to say boo to all that.

One could argue that Nas's claim of hip hop being dead was with things such as lyrical content and censorship from labels and orgs. I could be wrong but I'm not so sure that his "hip hop is dead" tirade had anything against ghostwriters. EVERYBODY uses them - as you stated.
