I know you said you're new here so I don't want to be a dick but do people go into rock music threads and say like "Sup guys I like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin discuss"

Hahaha, This is fair. Idk I glanced into the thread and just saw lots of youtube links and not a lot of actual discussion, I was hoping to have some sort of specific debate (e.g. Here's why x is a better candidate) but in retrospect your point is 100% valid.

Is your list much more obscure, or are mine just so obvious to the point of not being much to discuss?

36 Seasons and PRhyme are both streaming via NPR. 36 Seasons is great so far but I haven't had a chance to listen to PRhyme. Dat tracklist tho

I took the other approach. It's good so far but not entirely what I was expecting. I've never heard a lot of Royce though so this is going to be a first. So far my impression is that he's talented, but not overly interesting tbh.

Nah, Royce is plenty interesting, Death Is Certain, Street Hop and Success Is Certain are all great albums in their own right, he's got some excellent tracks.

try intermittently clicking on the youtube links in the thread until you hear something you like. explore artist. i don't think listening to huge sermons about why x is good should make a god drat difference to anyone's actual taste. you have 71 pages. go.

I guess it's just a personal preference thing. I'd agree he's got great tracks, but nothing about him overly capture my ear.

For the most part I know what I like, and I didn't come into the thread to sift through months old posts. Sorry if that's out of line.
Nothing in the last few pages I haven't heard except some ok mashups, so I don't really wanna go through pages of stuff I've listened to.


I guess I'll just lurk awhile.

Edit: I am listening to monster again now though so that can't be a bad ting

I definitely agree with you on Royce. He has skills for days but I've never really felt his songs. Some of his older tapes weren't bad but I feel like ever since Slaughterhouse formed they've all just tried to out rap eachother and most of their songs just feel flat. Maybe I'm completely off base but I still think the best song Royce ever wrote was The Message.

I saw them live though and it was awesome. Except Crooked I couldn't get across the border.

Yeah. Tbh I think it's cause I tend to enjoy larger-than-life characters in my rappers, and Royce doesn't really do that for me. drat if he can't ride a beat though.

I woulda been bummed about that show, he's the best member imo. The only similar experience I've ever had was buying a ticket to a show to see Kendrick, who then cancelled for the All-Star NBA game. They announced Odd Future to replace him...who weren't let in the country because they "incite riots". :what:

I was just hoping for a semi-obscure reference cause my actual digging has been slack lately. Every rapper I've heard of/like would be a stupidly big list, so I'll go with some stuff I've been enjoying recently:

My most played artists recently have been Redman, E-40, Lucki Ecks, MF DOOM and Ludacris.

For those of you who like AOTP and related stuff, V-Zilla and Lawrence Arnell just released an album on Thursday called "The Monster & Mr. Arnell"

It is pretty darn good overall (with a weak track or two) and most of the beats are boom-bap style.

Genie of the Lamp and Thizelle Washington are awesome as well have the 'hits' on 'em. His output was all of pretty high quality, so go older if you're looking more laid back west coast beats and the later catalog for the party songs.

Ross has always been about his production for me. His first album was fire, then it was all poo poo until Mastermind which has more than a few good tracks.

The new Montana of 300 project is out.

I was hoping for more stuff where he just does a single verse through the whole song (like Wayne used to do) but most of the stuff just has the regular hook/verse structure.
His hooks are alright, but generic. Listen to the new SD album instead if that's what you want - it's a great album.

Deeper Than Rap was really really good and Teflon Don had the second best Rick Ross track ever. I never actually listened to Mastermind though.

Bones going full Future on Unknown

also the mix on this tape is pretty bad so far, Team Sesh are usually great for production but this one sounds bad so far (mix wise)

huh, guess it was only the first few tracks, mix gets better.

not the best bones tape, pretty weak imo
