I'll be honest, I have no loving idea who this guy is, but apparently after a few years of the mixtape game he'll be putting out an LP sometime this year.

cool, what i've heard off of SiC so far is good.

so this is something i never pictured coming out of my mouth but is it just me or is can a drummer get some... pretty decent? it definitely has its share of stinkers (the slaughterhouse, kid cudi & slash features to name a few) but tracks like if you want to, knockin, jump down, and raw poo poo are fun bangers. album isn't special or anything, but it's impressive, enough at least

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 :argh:, fire away.

Well it's weezy's best album since TCII.

I like it.

e: To elaborate a little. this album's biggest problem is definitely wayne's verse structure and not just because of lines like "what goes around comes around like a hula hoop" or "i'm a monster, exorcisms - tote tools like mechanics, mechanisms", i mean that's been weezy's thing for quite a while now and i can dig his clever punchlines. that being said 90% of this album are bars like that and it's a little tiresome after a while. not enough to ruin the album though.

standout tracks: Megaman, Interlude, Abortion, So Special, I Like The View

e2: why the gently caress is shyne on this poo poo?

Is it really news to anyone that Wayne doesn't give a poo poo anymore? Wayne hasn't given a poo poo since TCIII dropped. The only poo poo he's put out worth listening to since 2008 is the No Ceilings mixtape.

TCIV may not break any ground or even be at all impressive, really, but it's still a much better offering from him when compared to poo poo like Rebirth, I Am Not A Human Being and Sorry 4 The Wait.

Tupac is just a stupider 50 Cent. Tupac was too busy going to art school and dancing early in his career, so had to pretend to be a superthug when he was actually getting real money and got shot by real thugs (and wasn't talented/smart enough to have a career w/o that thug image). 50 Cent actually WAS a "thug", but quit doing that poo poo when he was actually making money. He only started poo poo with people he KNEW wouldn't do poo poo back and now gets to live however the gently caress he wants in a mansion. I'm pretty sure he also sold more than Tupac and therefore was more popular and better than (although Eminem is better than both, because he sold even more). Now the national stage is theirs, and Tupac is dead. Check And Mate.

As for when the last time I heard a Tupac song anywhere was, I'd say outside of "California Love" his music isn't really played much anymore I'm ever at. That song was still getting some play 2 or so years ago though (in that it wasn't surprising to hear it in a set).

First time posting in this thread (which is a great thread). Thought I'd actually take the time to contribute. This is a Seattle area rapper who recently released a new mixtape for free. Here is the review that sold me on it.


This is a pretty good summary. His music is not that complex or technically proficient, but he has some hilarious punchlines and his music seems pretty original to me. You should check it out and give it a chance, because his music really grew on me. Hopefully someone gets some enjoyment out of his music besides me.

Sorry for the poo poo post but i didn't really like return of 4eva. krit wuz here is really good though and i'm not exactly sure why i like one and not the other. maybe return is a bit more production-centric than it is rapping or something.

I wouldn't agree that he's gotten better at all. I think he's gotten worse in every conceivable facet of rapping, personally. I thought that it was an awesome question, and also I was thinking "where did this kind of mainstream scrutiny of hip-hop come from." Maybe I didn't make that clear.

He's better because he sells more records and makes more money than before.
