Also just remembered to check out Ferrari Boyz at some point, good times yo. honestly that's the best joint on there too but if you don't like Frank Ocean then there's nothing there it's not really a particularly good CnS. Overall I don't have much of an opinion on the actual Watch the Throne. I listened to it while falling asleep the other night, the production was nice. If you were expecting fantastic raps you were dreaming since Kanye has never really made it above competent imo and Jay-Z could have stayed mostly retired since he's only made a handful of good songs in the past five years.

I think the problem with Watch the Throne is that everyone was apparently expecting the second coming of jesus with this album or something, so theres no way it could live up to that. Personally I had no idea the album was coming out and I was very pleasantly surprised with it. As many have said, the production is great. There's some great samples, great beats and good lyrics, you just have to skip past the straight filler stuff(New Day, Welcome to the Jungle, Made in America come to mind). The Joy, Gotta Have it, Why I Love You are some of the best tracks Ive heard as of late though, they even tricked me into enjoying a song with Beyonce.

I don't like skits but I can deal with them as long as they are separate tracks so I can skip 'em.

I think it can be broken down like this Awesome/Great Songs: No Church In The Wild Niggas in Paris Gotta Have It The Joy Good Songs: Otis Why I Love You Illest Motherfucker Alive Primetime Decent or Worse: New Day Welcome to the Jungle Murder To Excellence Who Gon Stop Me Pop Songs Which Shall Not Be Ranked: Lift Off Again the production is mostly excellent all the way across but in terms of what I actually want to listen to after hearing the album a lot. I think New Day is cool but ultimately is trying to be the "deep/meaningful" song with substance but comes off kind of forced and same thing with Murder but worse. H*A*M hangs out in Lex Luger Limbo because it's one of my favorites but I feel like I'm very alone in that opinion and I think I'm just excited to hear Ye/Jay on a Luger beat

Judging by the recent posts here, I might be barking up the wrong tree, but I'm looking for some less-mainstream hip hop that has the same sound and feel as stuff like Kanye or Doomtree. Most of the names that I saw dropped lately (Ferrari Boyz, Royce) have, in my opinion, a really flat sound. The beat is the same throughout the entire song and there's nothing to really keep my interest, musically. And then the lyrics and videos are just guns and money, ad nauseum. It gets old pretty fast. Other things I like: Eminem, Tech N9ne, Childish Gambino (hipster alert?), some Dre and Jay-Z. Or if you want to take this opportunity to tell me how wrong I am  , fire away.

Focusing on producers since that seems to be what you're looking for, my top rec for you is the Block Beattaz, especially their work with G-Side, which I've hyped in this thread before. They're one of the most creative production teams working today and ST 2 Lettaz is one hell of a rapper (Clova is alright too). The ONE... Cohesive album which came out in January was all Block Beattaz production, with another on the way in November. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a84r6be3p0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y7Xk_SQ4mA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yBrkXvQZdI Polow da Don is a pretty talented producer, but he tends to go for the pop money more than hip-hop; he's probably best known for his work on Rich Boy's debut. The songs with Ms. Keri have rap verses so they count as at least rap'n'b. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9LvtiwbnGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrej0HfjMoE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwG6vD2vP8A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNvbS0XUZWU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BoWi1AcFk8 DJ Burn One has pretty much settled into his country-funk-rap-tune-producer groove. Definitely influenced by Pimp C but he does his own (dope) thing. Check out Joints for a gang of talented rappers over his beats and The Ashtray for clean instrumentals. He also used to use Mick Vegas as his producer pseudonym. Big K.R.I.T also does his thing, of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpdX14zmQtI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvBKD3dGnF8 Drumma Boy makes some crazy-rear end beats but there's a good chance the artists he usually works with aren't your thing ANYWAY here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr0Sb8gS6CA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vp-3mHS2Wc (the part where the beat flips into reverse on Photo Shoot owns) The Doo Do Chasers posted:I totally forgot about that song.

Rapping about supreme mathematics and poo poo can be laughably bad at times but the production really is top notch, almost psychedelic in a way. It's one of the only rap albums I can listen to on mushrooms, for what its worth.

Like seriously, he must think nobody's actually gonna listen to this because he essentially is going back on like 6 years of work. Unless he's thinking he's already locked in under the ATCQ "people aren't actually listening to what I'm saying" conscious tag. Either way that was surprisingly good. Also in case anyone hasn't checked either of them out, new One Be Lo album/mixape is really good (although I think the production's a bit weaker than his last couple of albums, likely due to not as much Decompoze work) and the Kendrick Lamar "Section 80" is probably the best thing I've heard that came out this year. I also listened to the most recent Serengeti album for anyone who cares about him, and it's yet more proof that "Noodle-Arm Whimsy" was a fluke. There's actually a couple tracks that aren't horrible but some of his rhymes are really awkward and there's not as much humor there to balance it imo.
