I really like that new ASAP Rocky the more and more I listen to it. It's good for a onetime thing, it's different. I think the disjointed feeling actually contributes to me liking it. Those initial verses and the beat changes in the second half. Can't wait for the next album.

I liked the new rocky, Id have preferred a verse from juicy j, but I think the change in beat is a preview for a different song.

I'm sure a lot of you guys probably haven't heard it, and Spark is dead, so might as well share it here too since it's one of my favourite Spark feature-verses.

not cool man, you had me really worried for a second. Spark already holds out too much every moment with every song. He's the number one "wow this is an awesome beat/flow he's got going on right now...oh it's already over/switched up." offender in rap for me right now.

As someone from Boston "best Boston MC" means less than nothing

On that note I find out about Michael Christmas a week and he's not bad which could put him in the running for "best Boston emcee ever"

http://soundcloud.com/swellybeats/duck-duck-goose-ft-rome

The tape he released earlier this year is actually pretty good

Best Boston mc is Mr. Lif. Alternately Guru who iirc was actually born in Boston if you wanna count him since he never claimed it.

Nah It's really gotta be Reks, Edo G, or Big Shug for best Boston rapper. I legitimately don't know if I would ever even think about Mt Lif again if you hadn't mentioned him. Termonology is pretty good too.

Boston is pretty awful for rap though. I guess guys in the 90s used to hate rapping in Boston because the crowds were way too rowdy and would get in fights with the rappers. I forget if it was Biggie or someone else but I know a rapper got the Diddy Steve Stoute champagne bottle to the head treatment at their own show and rappers pretty much boycotted doing shows in Boston. City still stinks for rap shows and rappers. And related, Benzino apparently had a lot of pull with Boston gangs and was significantly responsible with the crime rate drop in the 90s when BPD cracked down on crime

I've not listened to Big Shug but Reks, Edo G, and Termonology are all great, as is Slaine. Edo G has been around for a long time.

Yeah all those guys are in that same vein of holding onto that DJ Premier sound (and working with him) which is kind of cool I just don't really listen to it

I guess I should fix what I said about Boston being awful for rappers. XXL came out with a list of 15 up and coming Boston rappers last year that I just found but I haven't bothered listening to it and I don't really hear about anyone with any sort of movement

Slaine's album "The Boston Project" is a fairly good intro, the entire album is collabs with other Boston rappers.

I won't claim to know Boston rap very well though, aside from that album and the rappers I mentioned specifically I can't say I've listened to much.

That Game ft. Gibbs & Bobby Schmurda is great. They all rap really aggresively and it goes well with the beat. Games albums aren't really ever anything amazing but they always deliver a few solid tracks with a bunch of big name features on them.

gently caress that. The Documentary is a modern classic, and Doctor's Advocate is really really solid. Both are top 15-20 west coast albums from the last decade. Everything since then has been varying shades of disappointing, but like Braw said he always comes through with a couple bangers. Ali Bomaye, cmon

I like some Game but also think he's the biggest dickrider in the world. I guess he has no self-esteem and requires constant validation from his peers so he mentions them nonstop. If I were Kanye or Jay I would feel uncomfortable with how much Game talked about me, it's weird.
