Anyone here like Talib Kweli?

[foreverendeared]

he used to rap with Pharoahe Monch back in the day didn't he?

[Cocaine]

You're mixing him up with Prince Po'. Talib used to rap with Mos Def.

ahh ok thanks. i just dabble in hip-hop so yeah

[Dies Irae]

the ugly truth is so good

[Apocalyptic Raids]

new GZA track http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=23162

[Time]

that was good, I thought the production was a bit too repetitive though. i expect the new album to be great

[Dies Irae]

the beat is kind of boring

it would've been cool he developed the beat a little more instead of just having that same one

it's a good song though

[Happymeal]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6oMAHl9PNU

dunno how late i am, but this is going to get really, really hyped

[Surf]

Like everyone else said, the beat to that GZA track is a bit ****. Rap's good though.

So after being disappointed in Nas's latest, I went back through his catalogue.

I forgot how good God's Son was.

[Time]

I'm into a lot of solo albums from great hip hop producers right now, like J Dilla and Madlib. Soon I'm gonna try to get Beat Konducta Vol 1-2, the Jackson Conti album, Oh No - Dr. No's Oxperiment, and maybe Flying Lotus - L.A. Any other good producers I should check out?

Rock the Bells was surreal.

Highlights of the day: A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, De La Soul, Methodman and Redman, and Murs. Wale killed it, too.

And Supernatural is a sick host.

What do you all think of the new Murs/9th Wonder album?

I need to let it sink in some more.

[ATM2]

The new Devin the Dude mixtape is sick.

[JonG]

People Under the Stairs isn't headlining?

pff

And GZA's new album Pro Tools honestly doesn't sound promising so far in my eyes :(

His delivery isn't as raw as it was on Liquid Swords.

[Time]

I'm sure youve all heard this already but this is a track from the upcoming doom+ghostface collab: http://www.lexrecords.com/Angeles.mp3

btw, is chrome children worth d/ling?

[ATM2]

Sweet, thanks man.

Chrome Children is alright, a lot of it is forgettable. I'd say get Vol.1 and see what you think. Vol. 2 is slightly weaker.

Any fans of 40 Winks or Blockhead?

Or maybe the beat just sucked, because gza's rapping alone can't save a track. he's got good flow, but it sounds like he's chewing gum when he raps.

[Interstate]

Listening to GZA's Pro Tools for the second time at the moment. The beats are pretty good but GZA sounds bored when he's rapping. Really put me off.

[Delay Pedal Boy]

Blockhead is good, though I haven't heard Music by Cavelight or whatever it's called, just his production with Aes and Downtown Science

[ATM]

I'm also really liking Oh No's production on The Disrupt.

[horseypie]

Just got The Cool Kids - Bake Sale and it's great, back to the old skool.

that is a pretty cool album, ive listened to it a fair few times the last couple of days

i got black star today, this album is epic. it's made me go and get the rest of mos def's stuff and im really digging it

Oh man that's awesome. Hit us up with the interview when it's done.

[Iai]

Ask him what kind of friendly rivalry he has with his brother, and what kind of influence his dad had on him.

[Time]

ask him how he got into all the world music he samples on Dr. No's Oxperiment

[sgrevs]

Yeah but Doom is so lazy or slow or something, he's taking ages to release it for whatever reason.

[enjoimx]

yeah, but i mean he's all over the place with vik vaughn, king gheedora, madvillain, dangerdoom, and guest appearances, making beats and producing, so its a wonder he ever realeases anything

he used to be. he hasn't done anything new since like 2004, except for sending imposters to play live shows for him.

I'm not too keen on any UK hip-hop and I'm from here. fcfabric & Reindeer are pretty good though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

De La Soul doesn't do much for me.

Anyone into Atmosphere?

[EnigmaticENG]

I thought there early stuff was hit (really hit) or miss (ho-hum), but their new album is the shiznit.

[thunderzstruck]

yeah i love atmosphere. ive seen him live quite a few times.

I don't like his new album really at all. Good albums by him are Lucy Ford Eps, Strictly Leakage, and Sad Clown bad Summer EP

[soundcheck]

I didn't like the new one at first either but it has really really grown on me after a few listens.

Overcast! is such a good album.

[New Dirt Ghost]

Travel away to a common ground as I take you airborne with respect. I Bow before I send you this knowledge that makes you fly without a drink. Read more to keep your heads from disease get ready to flap your wings for departure. Kill that noise you put out and prepare for the arrival of the books I wrote with feathers. Count peddles that you pluck down to know which life is and what lives. Let me cook up a recipe and write words similar to forgiveness. Boil two eggs and knock out all the messages out the door. Count the number of sins and bottle them up. Stew up some math soup without plastic to close the top of the bowl. In the near future I’ll add soup cans with no hesitation. Noodles on my breath recycle to go far. On the top of your slow odd head I see trash. Even a mountain can inhale a train across the track getting away. The fresh new wheel threw away the square that peaked with a problem. Snow fell in the air steer clear from the child’s ball winter spin the water catch your seed from falling off the boat. Freeze the water before evaporation. This method leaves ice to grow at the speed of a snail. Whether a free man works for green to make captain is his own business. As a father release not the leader from the tree. Follow the bark you hear son jump rope to relieve stress. Tie your exercise with the speaking of this holy chapter. Another ghost shouted a word in the suite. Play out the sweet face again. The white candy caused a scar when I began reading the dictionary. The subject and noun trick battled my teeth in the end. Evil will fool your last action with a smile. Laugh and giggle are verbs in this sentence competition.

[soundcheck]

What's that?

[thunderzstruck]

its 430am, do you know where your heads at!

i have been digging strictly leakage lately. Crewed up is such a cool song, and I was at a hiphop festival with atmosphere headlining last spring and everyone in that song came together to play that as the encore

I'm not a huge hip-hop aficionado but I honestly don't think I will ever see a better hip hop show.

Favourite cut had to have been Royce 5'9's "Boom", both of them killed it.

i blame it on gravity

[HighandDriving]

They played that song. Was so good.

Nice man, I envy you.

[Interstate]

i don't like rev vol 1 but i love vol.2. yet to hear the 3rd world.

Revolutionary Vol. 2 is great. Vol. 1 has it's moments though. I haven't listened to 3rd World that much, from what I've listened to it's kinda of on the bad side.

[schiggy]

i am so totally diging that new song with ludacris and chris brown. whats it called? i like it.

So apparently Clipse enjoyed playing here that they are going to come back and play the radio station I work at :D :D :D

[sgrevs]

Dude that's so freaking awesome. Clipse are definitely up there with my favourite hip-hop artists.

[ATM]

I started work last night at a cool station, WPFW 89.3

They play a lot of jazz, but also have a cool hip hop show every night.

I'm interning for a late night jazz show, and right before mine is the hip hop show. They were playing Aceyalone, RJD2, Madlib, Wu Tang, and Quasimoto. And this is a legit, widely broadcast station.

Pretty badass.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

gorilla zoe was at the mall here this past saturday passing out free cds it was pretty cool

[Time]

i listen to WPFW on the occasion

[ATM]

Nice, you should listen at 11pm on Tuesday nights :D

You think so? It's definitely better than his last one.

Meh he's alright.

I like Moka Only a lot though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

New T.I. is disappointing.
I don't think it's any worse than King.

[horseypie]

It's the first T.I. album ive got but i think its pretty good

there are some really good tracks (Live Your Life, Whats Up, What Happenin, Swagga like us) and his beats are good

[ATM]

T.I. has some good singles, but he's pretty boring overall. That guy cant write an interesting rhyme to save his life.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Just got back from interviewing Messiah J (the Expert was otherwise engaged) and it was awesome. The reviews site will have an exclusive stream of 5 tracks from the new album (out October 17) from Friday onwards, so I'd be really grateful if you guys could stop by and check it out since they deserve all the publicity they can get.

Never heard of this guy... checked out some samples, and it's not bad. Thanks... really heavily Aesop influenced and doesn't have the typical british "wot wot" hiphop vibe.

On another note, the new Heltah Skeltah is disappointing :(

[Rams]

The new Murs album is good.

[ATM]

Sweet, I just brought it home from the station to review it.

[Rams]

It drags on a bit for the last 3 or 4 songs, but the rest is pretty much gold. I'd say it's easily his best solo effort without 9th Wonder, although I don't think that means that much.

Eh, I could never really dig murs or 9th wonder. Too west coast for me :-/

Although, speaking of west coast, the new Blu and Mainframe joint is sick... it's called Johnson & Jonson I believe. Check it out.

Digging new Madlib, pretty rad stuff as usual.

I still don't like None Shall Pass but I think it has a lot to do with not being able to understand a word he says.

[kingsoby1]

You're gonna review the upcoming album I assume?

[Jaded]

I still don't like None Shall Pass but I think it has a lot to do with not being able to understand a word he says.
He's easier to understand on None Shall Pass than the other ones, at least for me. The beats are some of the sickest on any of his albums imo.

You guys should all check out this underground rapper called X-Raided. I started listening to him about 6 years ago. He's pretty popular in the underground crowd and places on the Independent Album charts when he drops a cd.

More info + music: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=30088170

Also, I just posted him as an artist as well as all of his albums in the last 2 days here on Sputnik.

X-Raided i personally dont really like, i find hes highly overrated people give him more love then he deserves , hes in jail for 1st degree murder... hes been recording from jail (secretly...via unknown source) for like the last decade almost and thus his vocals (from the phone) sound like garbagio, hes a horrorcore rapper too... i dunno id rather take Brotha Lynch Hung over X...

How's BSBD and Grae? I was looking forward to that. Where do you find new hiphop releases? I use hiphopdx.net, but the reviews there kinda suck.

I mean, he only did like two cds over the phone before a guard started letting him use legit recording equipment. His newest song Incarceraided is sick. Slick production too.

Thats actually pretty sweet. I've always liked Royce's songs that I've heard but never actually checked out any of his albums.

[Scarlet_SUICIDE]

haha funny you mention hiphopdx. its a good site , Shake (aka m.S) is a buddie of mine hes a really cool dude , hiphopdx is a good place to find out about new artists (hip-hop) and its good for the occassional free download
i use alota things to find new artists mostly i just know what im looking for (iv been a fan of u.g. hip-hop since like co-flow funcrusher (the days when mainstream and u.g. really shifted and became two different genres) late 90s... so i have the ear to the know , i also used to work for goodvibe recordings.. so i still get some inner source news

if you want some recommendations feel free to ask... i got a great u.g. hip-hop collection... and ya that new BSBD & Jean is very good.. i suggest picking it up jean is a beast and blue skys production is always fantastic.. "razah's ladder" is another good BSBD project

[kingsoby1]

yeah, i welcome pretty much every recommendation... got into hiphop a ton over the past year or two and have been trying to beef up the sputnik hiphop reviews section. Check some of my ratings on the review site... really into progressive production styles (el-p, madlib, bsbd) and i'm more of a beats guy than mc. of course, a bad mc can def ruin it for me. i've heard a majority of the popular ug stuff (co-flow rocks btw).

razah's ladder is really tight, but ive been really diggin on Gutta - "Heads Will Roll" lately. BSBD produced everything but the first track, and all of their beats are killer... too bad it's not cohesive in the slightest. it's as if bsbd made all the beats then threw them at gutta and said "peace".

this bsbd and grae is solid so far... although i read somewhere that grae is really pissed off about it (since it's a remix of jeanius). grae's pretty much the only femme rapper that's okay imo.

[Correction]

haha funny you mention hiphopdx. its a good site

not at all. they overrate shitty underground rappers or faggy backpackers
