The new J5 isn't here yet ... :(

I think a lot of people just downloaded it.

When is it out again? A couple of weeks? Been really diggin' [I]Power In Numbers[/I] recently.

I really wouldn't get your hopes up too high.

>_>

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Colossus are ****ing good.[/QUOTE]
yeah they are, i love when jazz and hip hop are mixed together, beautiful combination when done right or jazz and electronica, downtempo type stuff

I'm still gonna get the new J5 stuff even though you've been slating it a bit.

Also, sample at the end of Sway's [I]This is My Demo[/I] is the best sample ever.

"I am going to Buckingham Palace to eat champagne with the Queen."
"How will you get there?"
"I will get naked, jump in the river, swim and don't stop until I see white people."

Stones Throw is absolutely ****ing ridiculous. Charizma! Peanut Butter Wolf! Madlib! Quasimoto! Dilla!

that said, [I]The Further Adventures of Lord Quas[/I] is absolute head music. **** is nuts.

Yea I like Quasimoto a lot, but I tend to like him better when he is featured in a song.

lil flips- i need mine is really good

its the only album i have from him, that i havent listened to, but ive had it for like a month, its really good

Ok so I just posted up my review of Sway's album. Think I might wait a few more days ,read through it and then edit it a bit more though.

I had an idea of what to listen to after Wu Tang ended but now I totally forgot.

Anyone else underwhelmed by the new Roots CD? I never found them to be that great to begin with, but Black Thought just seems to get worse and worse.

oh it's already out? Yeah i'm the same...they're not that great to me either, just ok...i'll have to cop that and see for myself

Ah I just listened to 36 Chambers again. It's still good stuff. Anyways, do any of you lot do open micing or anything like that. There's a decent club near me which has some decent artists who've performed (Mike Skinner came down last year, but more local fame like Sway can be met there every now and again and lots of other grime acts chill there), I sometimes go and watch though not a whole lot as it can get pretty rough round there so I have to go with a group. I don't mic either really, I can do lyrics alright but my voice just isn't suited to rap.

But anyway, do any of you guys do it?

It has been leaked. I personally like the album. Not really a contender for hiphop-album of the year (that'd be Cunninglynguists' A Piece Of Strange) but nice nonetheless. It's better than The Tipping Point, and I liked that album as well. The Roots have yet to put out an album I really don't like... :)

Ooh I want to hear the new Cunninglynguists.

Any of you guys like Cut Chemist? People call him DJ Shadow's understudy. Edan and Mr Lif are featured on his album.

I thought Piece of Strange was released last year? Or did it just leak way back then? Haven't heard the Roots leak, I'll see if I can get it today. :)

Cut Chemist is good, he's always done right by Jurassic 5. Like I said in alt/indie, digging the song "What's the Altitude."

Definantly look into Cut Chemist some more.

I grabbed the new Roots leak but havent listened yet.

Got some songs off [I]In My Mind[/I], and they're tickling my fancy. I don't think it'll be as good as [I]In Search of..[/I] but I bet it's better than [I]Fly or Die[/I]. "Big White Spaceship" is where it's at.

I got the Pharrell and Roots leaks today. Yessssssss.

Busta Rhymes: what the hell went wrong?

Too many guest spots. Although, if every track was just Busta, I don't think that would've helped all that much either.

Edit: And I generally like to give Busta the benefit of the doubt.

He did a song with Sean Paul. Downhill from there.

yeah really, "touch it" was the only thing i kinda liked as far as a single, the rest is garbage, like rc said, too many guests spots, if it's one thing i hate more, it's people who spot on albums in which they have no business being on, it just ruins the record, it's like if i want to hear other people rap, i'll go listen to them, i didn't come to hear a group i came to hear BUSTA, it annoys me especially when you know that artist is talented, but they got to bring their whole crew on their record and it just makes it 10x worse, seems like that's how things are though...it's like...can one artist just come out pure, solo, by themselves and only that person to the point where you can see some growth, depth and or development? it starts to get a little frustrating...also hate when the rapping is good, then like outta the blue someone is trying to get all "emotional" and the whole flow is like gone, just singing (mind you this isn't some regular old singer either, it's a friend of a friend doing a favor, yet they sound like crap!) LOL let me end my rant, i could go on and on, sorry

Drop me your emailadress and I'll send it to you. And yes, the album is definitely 2006, it was released somewhere in january of february though.

Does anybody here dig Christina Aguilera's new song Ain't No Other Man? It's produced by DJ Premier and I actually like it, never thought I'd say that from a song of hers.

I really need to get that. The only Outkast albums I have are Speakerboxx/Love Below, and Stankonia, and already they're one of my favorite groups.
