That's a great OP Alan. Does Jay Rock plan on putting out an album any time soon or is he just gonna keep owning dudes on their own songs for a while still?

Sonically that Boldy James album sounds a lot like the other big album Alchemist did last year, Prodigy's Albert Einstein. I liked both of those a lot.

Lloyd Banks had a decent tape not too long ago called F.N.O. you might want to check out.

40 lbs to freedom posted:ive noticed the new soul album just makes me want to listen to whatever style of rap hes trying to emulate. like 30 seconds into twact i turn it off and put on YG and the end of just have fun makes me turn on migos instead. stigmata just makes me wish i was listening to bronson, etc. tree of life and hunnid stacks are the only songs i listen to anymore. And Hunnid Stacks sounds like a Q song and Twact makes me wish E-40 came on. I still like it overall but I fully agree

Hey I liked Shabazz, just posted about it in the old thread  Also I really enjoyed that Common album and the production. Does he have similar poo poo in his back catalog?

There's some rappers I don't like because of their voice or their flows but usually I can see why others would like them. Big Sean seems like he has an idea how to rap, but the results make it seem like writes his lyrics as huge run-on sentences and he just kinda puts emphasis on certain words and calls it a day. Boring as gently caress and ruins any song he's on.

Getting around to listening to that Alex Wiley tape and it's real good, drat. Some of the dreamier production is great.

thathonkey posted:Just occurred to me that I like this song on its own but would always skip it when listening to the album (despite it being on "the good half") which reminded me how bad the track sequencing on CP is. Also they should have cut like ~7 tracks. I'm like the only dude I know who likes almost every track based off what I'm reading. "Uno" to "Shame" are all great, though sometimes I'll skip "Knicks" but it's a good smoking song.

Just in time, this is great What are SGP's best tapes? I've heard BMW 2 and Blackland Radio but neither stood out much and they also sound super lovely/muddy

Cool, thanks about the SGP. I think the main issue is I listen to most of my new music on public transport so it can get loud and the low mixing quality and volume on most of SGP's stuff makes it hard to find a melody or whatever. It's like how listening to Gucci at low volumes takes a lot of the punch out since you don't get the bass. I was just kinda hoping there'd be like, Yung Simmie type stuff that's still decent quality while maintaining a similar sound. Same with Denzel.

I'll put Blackland back on tonight when I sesh and see if I like it better. I think I have that link someone posted a while back that had tons and tons of old Memphis mixtapes so I'll dig around that some too. Also I already am familiar with LUM, thanks

Looks like the dude has a lot of tapes so is there anything worth picking up out of that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36ESxYaGfh4 also thanks to alan (?) for the Hurt Everybody rec, it's really good

I don't recognize the beat or flow. It's either new or from his pre-Patriarch/Cliff of Death output, which I've (regrettably) never checked out

Am I crazy or do most songs on the KRIT tape sound like they weren't mixed very well? The drums come out fine on most and the vocals are okay but everything else is mixed too low

UoI posted:I've never heard of this dood before but I really like this song. Is there more stuff of his I should listen to? If you're talking about Deniro, check out Patriarch I-II, Cliff of Death EP and his new EP from this year, Rebirth. He's got a style of his own. That's a cool song but Duru sounds way better on his other tracks with Farrar imo Also the beat on Yung Lean's song Volt is incredible

Baram posted:That's how I feel about it too. I think I've been spoiled by mixtapes like Flatbush & UA where it's more like a free album with no dj. The Gunplay tape is good but out of a little over 40 minutes there's probably at least. 5+ minutes of the DJ talking over it / running records back. It doesn't help that most of the time the DJ is mixed louder so you've got the song going and this dude breaks your eardrums yelling about how you're listening to a Gunplay song on the Gunplay mixtaped titled "Gunplay" at least Drama usually lets dudes do their thing
