I think I like The Roots' Game Theory about as much as I like Things Fall Apart, which is to say, some songs are excellent, most do nothing for me.

Yeah I know what you mean.

Theres only a couple on the Roots Game Theory that stand out to me, but those that do, are ****ing marvelous.
Things Fall Apart was pretty cool.

I'm totally digging Deltron 3030 right now though.

I really need someone to send me [i]Illmatic[/i]. For some reason I can never get it on slsk.

[quote=we love lime]I'm totally digging Deltron 3030 right now though.[/quote]

Towards the end of the album it starts getting kind of boring, but I really like it.

"Kick Push" was pretty far from the best stuff Lupe had on the initial leak. Just a step up from the heredouz Mike Shinoda produced track. Although Lupe does pretty good on the track, the production is just so ugh. Haven't heard the retail leak. Just gonna buy it on Tue. I like the new tracks he's done, though.

And yeah, to the person who was asking about Papoose, he's alright, above average flow. With some solid beats, he'll make a worthwhile major label debut. Hopefully it won't go to his head.

It's so Intelligent.
Most of MF Dooms stuff I don't get.

I have Occult Hymn and The Doomilation Bootleg
And I don't get what's going on at on.

I agree... After a while Dels flow gets sort of repative, you sorta know how everything is going to be said.



What do you guys think of Method Man?

Not a fan of Method Man' music really.

Huge MF Doom fan, got heaps of stuff.

Method Man not so much, but his song on 36 Chambers is ace.

I already have Illmatic. What other Nas should I download?

I'd say [I]Stillmatic[/I], but it's the only other full Nas album I have. Getting a second recommendation would probably be advisable.

I don't like MF Doom, his voice puts me to sleep. His work with Danger Mouse is good, mainly because Danger Mouse is good. The rest of his albums are kind of stale, with the low being [I]Madvilliany[/I]. I'd say I dislike Madlib more than Doom though.
I still don't get his relation to MF Grimm.

I saw him play live last year, he was awesome. I generally like all of the Wu-Tang guys.

MF Doom is pretty cool, he doesn't put me asleep, I just never know what he's talking about.

You guys are nuts, Doom is one of the best things going on right now.

Have you heard the King Gedorah album, [i]Take Me To Your Leader[/i]?

I've been listening a lot to The Beastie Boys album Paul's Boutique. The Dust Brothers production is mindblowing on that record. Can anyone tell me what other Beasties records I should be checking out?

[QUOTE=Rams;13275066]I still don't get his relation to MF Grimm.[/QUOTE]

I think he's just a friend or something. Did anyone hear check out that 3 disc album he put out? I was always curious about that, but never quite found out what the deal was.

Doom & Grimm have made an album or EP together, but the MF's in their names stand for something completely different:

With Doom it's either Metal Fingers (when he's producing) or Metal Face (when he's rapping). With Grimm I remember it being Master of Flows or something (correct me if I'm wrong).

They've been having beef for quite some time now though. I think Doom dissed him somewhere on DangerDoom (or maybe Mm...Food). Grimm has dissed Doom already on several occasions, making whole songs about it. Too bad, I liked it when they made music together.

MF Doom is really great, but agreed on not following his lyrics sometimes.

Hello Nasty because Intergalactic is one of the best songs ever.

Has anyone here heard Rap Phenomenon 2? It's this 2003 mixtape where 3 dj's put Tupac's vocals over beats from modern rap songs. I personally think it's amazing, mainly because the big problem I have with Tupac is that alot of his beats are so lame. You should definitely check it out.

Lol.

Brendas got a Baby over 50-Cent's Candy Shop.

What will the world do next?

haha, I thought you were serious, so I listened to the beginning of every song only to realize you were joking.

[quote=Robert Crumb;13276705]Did anyone hear check out that 3 disc album he put out? I was always curious about that, but never quite found out what the deal was.[/quote]I just picked up that album. I'm about to spin it for the first time. I'll let you know how it goes.

The deal is just as you said it. It's a triple album, hip hop's first. Apparently there are no filler tracks, and there don't appear to be any skits. In fact, most of the tracks are longer than 3 minutes. This is going to have to be really impressive in order to not utterly fail because of its length. We shall soon see.

[QUOTE=Quirky Turkey;13275672]Can anyone tell me what other Beasties records I should be checking out?[/QUOTE]Hmmm, depends what you're after.

For varied styles/genres - Ill Comunication
For pure Hip Hopage - To The Five Boroughs

Once you've checked those, then I'd suggest Hello Nasty. Although it's got great songs, there are some pretty weak tracks on there too.

[i]Paul's Boutique[/i] is the only interesting Beastie Boys album.

In other news, this Grimm record is good as f[size=2]u[/size]ck so far. Only 57 more tracks to go.

What does everyone think of the new Roots album? I think several songs could qualify as classics and I haven't even listened to it in it's entirety yet. It's probably the best Roots album I've heard.

Who likes Big Moe? A-lot of his songs can be mediocre but there a few songs ("Bar Baby", "City of Syrup", "Purple Stuff"..etc) that are infectiously catchy.

hey do any of you kids have slsk?
i dont know anyone with alot of good rap on there.

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh;13277359]Hello Nasty because Intergalactic is one of the best songs ever.[/QUOTE]Man, that song owns, as does the video. I remember being introduced to The Beasties via Jim Shearer on MTV2. He was hosting like best of The Beasties video countdown. Sabotage was at one, I think Intergalatic was 3 or 4.

It's the worst Roots album. Black Thought is as unimaginative and unoriginal as ever. The beats are pretty good, but they didn't have many memorable hooks outside the single and felt like a lame duck backing Thought. The CD is also very top heavy, with nothing really memorable once "In The Music" finishes failing. They should go back to trying to make hits than making profound albums with a less than profound lead man.


Why do Da Backwudz rip off Nelly on "I'll Do"? When should anyone have to rip off Nelly?

^Yeah dude, i've seen the roots perform on leno, conan, and carson and all 3 performances sucked. The music is so generic this time around, im very dissapointed.

JonM hows that MF Grimm triple album? I'm really interested to hear the verdict on it. What's it called btw?

[quote=sgrevs;13280127]JonM hows that MF Grimm triple album? I'm really interested to hear the verdict on it. What's it called btw?[/quote]It's called [i]American Hunger[/i]. I've only heard the first disc, but it is [i]great[/i]. Really, really, really good.
