thathonkey posted:It's just popular to hate on Drake. Dude still makes a gently caress ton of money and always will Personally, I just hate on anyone lame enough to use the words "lil" "young" or "thug" in their rap names with a very small number of exceptions. I'm sorry but if you can't be creative enough to come up with an interesting rap name you're probably not creative enough to make rap about anything non-trivial either.

I legitimately like quite a wide variety of rap (including some of the stuff I was insulting) I just think it's hilarious how sensitive people get about the stuff they like and uptight they get about the stuff they don't like. Try being harder or more gangsta or something I guess, maybe wear an extra "I LOVE MY HATERS" tshirt today, you'll feel better about that a random person on the internet insulted your favorite rapper (Lil' Young Thug) For reals though smoke some weed and chill the gently caress out and listen to whatever rap you like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPTX-oj1rYE vvvv you clearly care quite a lot  vvvvv(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

John Brown posted:What...the...gently caress? I know everyone has their own taste but if you're gonna post some revolutionary rap poo poo at least do something worthwhile. Because if I wanted to post something everyone in this thread was already familiar with I'd post Immortal Technique or Lupe Fiasco. That said I was not familiar with Reflection Eternal, and I really like it, I'll have to pick up the album. Maybe Hasan Salaam is more your speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UUxvj-7MvE I'm not a huge fan of the album this track appears on but the track itself is pretty good. I cannot for the life of me find a track that was dropped last summer with a Palestinian rapper. I want to say TeamBackPack was promoting it but can't find it.

I'm not expecting a positive response to this from most of you, but AOTP is coming out with their new album on the 22nd of this month and just released a new song off of it last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccW8UNYOtm8 Apathy probably has the best verse on the track, but then again, he usually does.

The Polish Pirate posted:No DJ at all. It was a 4-piece known as The Social Experiment or something. No one else was on the mic at all except Chance, but there were some guitar and trumpet solos where Chance just danced around and got the crowd pumped up. Live music hip-hop is tons of fun, and Chance is exactly the kind of rapper I'd want to hear with it.

meso posted:So the new AOTP (Army of the Pharaohs) has leaked and even though I will be copping this album once it's released next week I decided I'd give it a listen so long, I had been waiting anxiously, being a massive fan of the group. Ritual of Battle is one of the best collaborative albums of recent times in my opinion, so I was keen to see how In Death Reborn was going to be. The singles which were released on Youtube already were pretty good, granted I have mixed feelings on aspects of Curse of the Pharaohs. Yeah I'm a really big AOTP fan and I'm pretty excited about the album. I agree with you that Celph does better on collaborative tracks--I love his style but on all his solo albums there's only a few tracks I'm really feeling.

alansmithee posted:His style doesn't really work over long periods imo. The impact of his bombastic punchline style gets really dulled if he's not just around in short bursts but in that lane he's amazing. I haven't really got into much of the AOTP stuff, but I really dug all the old Demigodz stuff a bunch (Apathy should've been a star Yeah, I would really like to see another Apathy album where he mostly uses the style that he uses for AOTP and Snowgoons stuff. Honkey Kong wasn't too bad but I feel like he can do so much better--he's able to paint scenes with his lyrics better than just about any other rapper I've heard. I love all the old Demigodz stuff and still listen to it, though some of it I'm not sure has aged very well. Them, Styles of Beyond, and Doe Rakers (and all the cross-collabs they did with each other) were a lot of fun. Kenshin fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Apr 17, 2014 |

Thirstin Howl III has also done collabs with various AOTP and Snowgoons associated acts. Good stuff. As alansmithee has already noted, The Gatalog is a good sort of "repository" of early Demigodz stuff (with a Celph Titled focus) that also incorporates various tracks from AOTP that Celph is on as well as various early Celph tracks often featuring Doe Rakers, Styles of Beyond, as well as rappers he knew back in Florida that haven't really made it (DutchMassive and Majik Most come to mind). Also, it isn't labeled as a Demigodz album, but in 2007 Celph Titled and Apathy released an album called "No Place Like Chrome" that is worth checking out. And for something completely different, Apathy, Ryu, and Scoop DeVille did a really strange album in 2009 that barely qualifies as rap, it's really more of a... strange R&B thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwi5iZ39bHU Kenshin fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Apr 18, 2014 |

Latest AOTP album, "In Death Reborn" is out today. I'll let Celph Titled sum it up for you: "My gun won the cannabis cup for havin' the best smoke." If you already like AOTP/JMT/LCN then you're going to really enjoy this album. It won't convert those who don't like that style, though.

On the topic of the data-mining mentioned in the last page (with largest vocabulary in songs) I'd really like to see what the difference is for artists' most recent ~35,000 words rather than their first. Obviously it isn't a measure of an artist's success or even skills, but it is interesting data and I'm curious to see how rappers' vocabulary changes throughout their careers.

I really like Hopsin and Tech N9ne but I loving hate Juggalos and ICP. That said I guess it doesn't bother me that they share some of their fanbase or perform at the GotJ because it is a business, and they make a not-insignificant amount of money from those fanbases as well.

I really like the video (it's pretty funny, these guys don't take themselves too seriously) and the track itself makes me excited for the upcoming ¡MURSDAY! album--they're really good at weaving their flows together, rather than just being one verse per rapper.

Ollie Gates and KOD were eh and All 6's & 7's was ok but him trying to break into the mainstream seemed very forced and heavy handed.
