interesting. john robinson is solid (sometimes a bit too much like nas tbh), so hopefully good producers make him shine more than mf doom did... who is this man was pretty mediocre on the production end.

btw, that Pax & Pry album is really f*cking good... i'm gonna review that tomorrow.

I'll check it out. I spoke with another DJ at the station about getting Blu and Exile in for a performance. He said that he recently interviewed Blu so he might be able to help me make it happen.

GZA is performing Liquid Swords to open up this festival in April..

Yeah, I can't wait.

Been listening to so much instrumental stuff lately, ie Madlib, Flying Lotus, Prefuse 73. Such great stuff.

you check out the new prefuse yet? it's not as good as his earlier stuff imo, but amazing cover art.

I haven't yet but I will soon.

I'm putting together a freestyle battle/ performance called Rap Leagues. It's going to be sick. I'm planning on it being a 32 man tournament. The performers are going to be The Five One, Rosetta Stoned, Panacea, Substantial, and maybe Louis Logic. I'm going to try and ger Blu and Exile because they will be in town.

I'm so excited for this ****.

Also, check out the video from Cake and Kisses party I went to last Thursday:

consider yourself a lottery winna

R&B and Hip Hop is my life so if you don't really live it there isn't much you can say about it!

yay, think we persuaded MX to trial a hip hop forum. You better all post!

New DOOM is awesome, btw.

yeah that's pretty dope i think so as well

edit: about the hiphop forum

i'm not really liking it too much... it's more of the same imo. not really worth the wait.

doubt hip-hop forum will be made but here's hopin

a while back someone posted an Erykah Badu remix with Pharoahe Monch which was really good.

anyone got a proper link other than youtube? can't seem to find it anywhere else

this thread it had clout, but the new forum after a new description should be a little better this time around

been listening to pharoahe monch a lot again recently, the guy rules :thumb:

binging KMD

i cant stop listening to guilty simp's latest (ode to the ghetto) and that new pax & pry joint i reviewed. perfect for spring.

I know I'm bringing up old sh1t but I must say this list is a classic.
Just add early A Tribe Called Quest, Leaders Of The New School and Black Sheep and that's early 90's GOLD.

it's good to bump old school recs every couple pages, so new lurkers can check them out.

man, i really wish doom didn't take years to release this blah stuff

I still need to hear it.

My freestyle competition is coming together nicely!

Going to have performances by Rosetta Stoned, The Five One, and G-5 Clive.

i finally got labor days by aesop rock today after hearing you guys mention it all the time, and its really really good. i think no regrets is the best song on it after a couple of listens but this whole album is really cool

born into this leaked
is boring
not surprised

new rap/hip-hop sucks

[QUOTE=SugarCoatedSour;17129269]new rap/hip-hop sucks[/QUOTE]

as my earlier post clearly shows...........

I hear what you guys are saying about the new DOOM, i guess his style is pretty lazy and he's hardly treading any new ground. But I still think it's decent, and cool to hear new stuff from him anyways. Really just want Madvillain 2 or Ghost/DOOM albums now.

I'm either really out of touch with new hip hop or this year has been weak. Any tips for decent '09 hip hop albums?

Usually the first couple months are when hiphop hibernates.

But... there's some good **** so far... check the reviews site Hip-hop section for some recs. Mainly, Pax & Pry, POS, Platinum Pied Pipers (soul).

lol eliminator likes the cult

Anyone like People Under The Stairs?

Of course. PUTS are quality as ****.

This song kills:

Are you from Atlanta, or do you just like Atlanta Hip Hop. I'm guessing it is the first, but where do you find out about all of it?

I just like Atlanta hip-hop. I discovered SMKA and Proton and which both have sick mixtapes and then just went from there.

Oh ok. I had never heard of either till you posted them up here, and both are good.

My favorite are SMKA, Proton, Hollyweerd, and Grip Plyaz.

hey I've been out of the hip/hop scene for a bit now

what's some recent stuff that I need to hear

black milk, guilty simpson, elzhi, the roots from 2008.

POS, pax & pry 2009.

midwest ftw -atmosuck
