Sorry for disgusting you, Kyle. Are you feeling all right now, though?

American Hunger is descent, quite long though.

Josh, you should check out Brotha Lynch Hung.

The new Jay-Z is pretty good. The beats are all the usual Diddy stuff, which gives it a good concept through out. The track with Lil Wayne is unlistenable; I don't know what they were thinking. Besides that all the tracks are good to listen to, but there is nothing standout in them.

murs sounds like louis logic

[QUOTE=Honest Abel;15496551]Sorry for disgusting you, Kyle. Are you feeling all right now, though?[/QUOTE]Yeah I'm getting there thanks.

I've been listening to loads of Dre/NWA stuff recently. How come nobody makes rap in this style anymore? Anyone know if there's gonna be a new Dre album?

Detox should be coming out in June '08.

Bet it's wack, though.

[i]I'm not talking about lowriders and blunts and all that anymore… I mean, that's played. As a matter of fact, I'm tired of hearing other people talk about it, to tell you the truth… I had to come up with something different but still keep it hardcore, so what I decided to do was make my album one story about one person and just do the record through a character's eyes, and everybody that appears on my album is going to be a character, so it's basically going to be a hip-hop musical.[/i]

Mm, I like both The Chronic/2001 but I don't have high expectations for Detox to be honest. But let's hope the best.

I feel the same.

Hopefully he gets better guest rappers than he did on 2001.

Haha yeah he is. I don't like his solo material though to be honest, although that Dre diss he did, "Real Muthaphuckking G's", is incredible.

old album cover he was a she-thang"

The irony of that song is hilarious.

What's this song that I'm thinking about... has a host of guests on it (a lot, each with their verse), was released recently, I think it has had two music videos, chorus is sung by a female (sounds like Missy Elliot).

Guests start off slow, and then break into something faster.

Ah yeah, cool.

Love that intro with those kids.

does anyone have the new Saul Williams? I got it, but havent listened to it all the way through yet. so far, some of the tracks sound pretty good, others not so much

It's really, really, insane.

Anyone listen to Black Star? Mos Def and Talib Kweli?

I'm getting into rap, or hip hop or whatever.

Black Star is one of the best hiphop albums. I've got [I]Black on Both Sides[/I] by Mos Def and it's pretty good, most Talib stuff is ok, nothing too special.

This is kind of related (Matt reminded me). Have you guys seen Dave Chappelle's Block Party? The performances (not to mention the whole movie) are amazing. Definitely have to suggest that to anyone into hip hop.

I've been listening to a lot of The Roots, Outkast, Strange Fruit Project, and the Black Star album lately.

Would anyone by chance have some recommendations for more hip hop for me? It would be appreciated. I listen to a little bit of gangsta rap but I'm liking the hip hop sound at the moment.

And no that movie never appealed to me before but now that I'm getting into the music a bit I might need to see it.

Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Main Source, A Tribe Called Quest, Organized Konfusion, Aceyalone, Common Sense, DJ Edan's mix-tapes, INI, Masta Ace's newer work, Marco Polo's new CD, and if you are into lyrics I'd check out Ras Kass. I can upload some stuff for you if you'd like.

I have to go out and suggest Jedi Mind Tricks, hah.

Anyone like the new Saul Williams? It's insane.

I forget who it was, but whoever sent me the rep comment with Sole & The Skyrider Band in it, thanks so much.

Just what I was looking for.

:)

Yeah, they're great. Check out A Tribe Called Quest if you haven't yet.

Oh and Ghoul Hunter, actually I'm downloading the Block Party DVD at the moment. I have high expectations for it.

You won't be disappointed :)

That was poopie. He made a thread about it in A&I. I received it as well, but haven't given it a good listen yet.

Got myself the Chronic. I can't say it's love at first hearing, but there are a few fine tunes on there.

You heard 2001? It's far superior (i'm going to get murdered for saying this).

I've only heard the popular tracks off it.

[QUOTE=badtaste;15518029]I've only heard the popular tracks off it.[/QUOTE]

Which are the good songs of it. Except maybe What's The Difference, which is pretty good too.

I don't like the guest rappers on 2001.

I got in trouble for having 2001 in my bookbag back in 7th grade. (strict Catholic school)

:eek:

:eek:

But it's really not. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like [I]2001[/I] and all but there's no way it's better than [I]The Chronic[/I].

It took me years to finally realize The Chronic was better than 2001.

Lil' Ghetto Boy.....fuuuuugg

[QUOTE]I didn't think there was much difference, it's just Snoop, Nate Dogg and whoever else was in Dre's house at the time on both. [/QUOTE]
but Snoop was in Dre's house less on [I]2001[/I] :(

Whether it's the Chronic or 2001, the point is he's still D.R.E. and he's still got no love for police.

Time to give The Chronic another spin.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;15520710]but Snoop was in Dre's house less on [I]2001[/I] :([/QUOTE]

Snoop fan?

I still prefer 2001 to the Chronic. Both are pretty sweet though.

Chronic lacks breakdowns, you see.

[QUOTE]Snoop fan?[/QUOTE]
[I]Doggystyle[/I] is so good. Except for a couple of songs, I think I prefer it to [I]The Chronic[/I].
