Area Codes is the definitive booty call song and is somewhat topical with Nate Dogg's recent passing! (otherwise it was actually gonna be Late Nite Tip which got pushed to number two on the playlist) also that Tweet album has some great Timbaland beats I think I'm actually about to buy the Euro CDS of Oops (Oh My) off Amazon marketplace bc I can't find rips of the remixes with Fabolous and Bubba Sparxxx anywhere online

real hip-hop as opposed to imaginary hip-hop (like that Child Rebel Soldier album, haha) it is a goofy term w/ a nebulous meaning but I think as applies to Gangsta Gibbs it could be taken to mean "grittier than Drake" speaking of albums that never came out (though this one was actually recorded) has anyone ever come across Lady Luck's shelved Def Jam debut, Turn My Mic On?

Cool video, I'd definately check Gibbs live if he ever came down to Miami and poo poo. Gangsta Gibbs (and P.O.C.) and KRIT are really the only rappers I'm still checking for in 2011- that singles list for the last decade kind of depressed me and poo poo. Real hip hop. I haven't heard TDE- why don't you post some tracks/vids and educate us?

alansmithee posted:Why did you choose to lead in with a Deltron 3030 song? Because how Virus sounds appeals to more people in the fan base I'm dealing with. I completely agree, he's kind of burnt out but he keeps chugging on producing music every day or else according to him he get's "real irritated" when he doesn't and it's taken a lot of steam out of his style. He also made mention of how every time he tries to get a little experimental his fan base hates it so he has to expand his sound in small doses. I think he just needs to get hooked up with a good producer again so he can concentrate more on writing his raps. Maybe I'm alone on this one, but he also needs to work with Aesop again. Those two would sound phenomenally better together than if he finally ends up doing the project with Doom. Subject change, does anyone have any locals they want to promote? I'm still sorting through the ones here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and I have to deal with poo poo like this on a constant basis because of the site I work for. Somebody save me.

Uhh, you guys are obviously confused real hip-hop isn't Gibbs (he only raps about bitches and guns). Real hip-hop is The Roots and poo poo like that. And idk what TDE is, but I've heard some stuff by Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. They decent (think Schoolboy Q recently put out an album, could be wrong though) but I think Kendrick Lamar is by far the best out of the whole Black Hippie group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgASe3CIw9E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHQZrMOt-1E

I think he just needs to get hooked up with a good producer again so he can concentrate more on writing his raps. Yeah, I had assumed that was why. But I think that also goes to a lot of his problem. I think he doesn't have much of a fanbase. Most the "rap dudes" still think I Wish My Brother George Was Here is his best album, but he got known off Deltron 3030. The people still checking for him would probably like him to experiment a bit (and might even get some more fans, depending on his direction). I do agree that working with someone would probably be helpful, update his sound or something. Another MC/producer would be cool I think, since I generally like his production, just needs something extra or w/e. And I don't know about Aesop (I'd like to see what he's actually doing, only thing I can remember recently is some joke track he did) but I think the chance Del has of doing anything with Doom isn't much greater than mine. Doom had that Ghost thing that never happened which would've done decently, as well as Madvillain 2 which had a few tracks already done and would probably sell ridiculous amounts (for an indie release) and hasn't done poo poo with either.

dethkon posted:I haven't heard TDE- why don't you post some tracks/vids and educate us? Yeah like the dude before me said, TDE is Kendrick Lamar's record label Top Dawg Entertainment. They're all pretty fire but Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul are my favorite. If you haven't heard Schoolboy Q's debut (FREE) album Setbacks, it's definitely worth a download (link http://www.2dopeboyz.com/2011/01/27/schoolboy-q-setbacks-album-nodj/).

How much power would a label have to push a project through if both artists are on the same label? For anyone who hasn't heard the Del/Aesop awesomeness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7vSzgDhF3Y Seconding Kendrick Lamar being awesome, especially Monster, but I haven't heard much about him since "Look Out For Detox" came out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-i6tnkxWX0 A Day in the Life (ft. RZA, the mars volta, and ag) I just remembered this song the other day and I've been listening to it a ton. Is the production typical of this group (Handsome Boy Modeling School, I guess? It seems like they do a bunch of non-rap stuff, like a Jack Johnson song or something), cause I love it and the weird alien-sounding chorus. Oh and there's some random skit or something at the end everyone should ignore.

I, Phantom is in my opinion a modern classic. This is my favourite jam off of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqR6M_2TY4Y&feature=related I also really like that end of the world posse track towards the end of the album too with Jean Grae and El Dash and poo poo, Jean Grae murders her verse. "Wish I woulda done more sin get a strap-on and run up in some women" or something to that effect.

Saw Wiz Khalifa on Letterman last night, he looks like a young Morgan Freeman. Back to the C&S conversation I picked up Michael Watts remix of Krit Wuz Here and I love it, gonna check out some Cham and Paul Wall later.

Everything Lif does, not including Mo-Mega, is a classic to me. The dude is just dope straight up and down. His old school, grimy flow get me going every single time (pause?). Get Emergency Rations, Sleepyheads, and I Heard it Today, as well as I, Phantom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9MA8rHsAXM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqR6M_2TY4Y Wait until the end with just the beat and sampled vocals. Perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWWLqfJXOzs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDYBX5VLj_E

There's like 2 or 3 bad songs, but the rest is real quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTMnE4ooL1o But I've always thought he was real nice, although I know some people don't like his voice. Also I'd say he's one of the few rappers who can actually do political poo poo without sounding stupid.
