Brooklynati, Troubadour, The Ecstatic, and Self Explanatory >>>>>>>>>>> Everything this year. Padded Room was dope as shit lyrically though, and the Slaughterhouse release is going to be bananas. BTW this new leaked track off Chamber Music with Inspectah Deck, Masta Ace, and U-God is straight fucking fire. Kill Too Hard is what it's called.
back to the feature is nuts. also for the people who dont like budden as much as i do, I love joe's lyrics because a lot of it deals with stress caused by the people around you and bad decisions, i love that shit and imo no one does it better than him right now.
Speaking of Masta Ace...yall probably too young to appreciate this song back when i was freshman in high school, but damn this is the joint....sick ass album all the way around, brings back the memories of my teenage years Masta Ace - The I.N.C. Ride (video, better sound)
Genius video from Gangrene (Alchemist & Oh No). I've heard about 3/4 of the album and the shit is dope. The Alchemist & Ohno - Under Siege HQ
People never get the Scott Caan and Alchemist connection. This is crazy throwback shit right here. Funny as hell too. Whooliganz - Put your handz up
Co-Sign on Back To The Feature. I actually like Budden, I just wasn't a big fan of the production on Padded Room. Lyrically Though? Without a doubt he is one of the best in the game right now.
I haven't read through this thread but I've seen a few of my favorites mentioned (Alchemist, Masta Ace, Royce Da 5'9). Some songs I think are sick: Alchemist: -Best of both worlds Masta Ace: -Beautiful (CD - A Long Hot Summer) -Good Ol Love (CD - A Long Hot Summer) -Do It Man (ft. Big Noyd) (CD - A Long Hot Summer) -Unfriendly game (football related ;) (CD - Disposable Arts) -Take a Walk (CD - Disposable Arts) -Don't Understand (CD - Disposable Arts) Royce Da 5'9: -Wet my whistle (ft. Sara Stokes) ---------- I don't think you can go wrong with these either: Anything Talib Kweli...old or new Roscoe (CD - Young Roscoe Philaphornia) - 5 Seconds Roscoe (CD - Young Roscoe Philaphornia) - Smooth Sailin' (SICK SHIT IMO) Roscoe (CD - Young Roscoe Philaphornia) - Head to Toe (SICK SHIT IMO) Roscoe (CD - Young Roscoe Philaphornia) - Young Roscoe Roscoe (CD - Young Roscoe Philaphornia) - What I Look Like Roscoe (CD - Young Roscoe Philaphornia) - Get Low DMP (Nottz Presents DMP) - Call the Ambulance DMP (Nottz Presents DMP) - Mr. Smiff-N-Wessun DMP (Nottz Presents DMP) - Durte Muzik DMP (Nottz Presents DMP) - My South Game (FT ROYCE DA59) (SICK SHIT IMO) DMP (Nottz Presents DMP) - OHHH!!! (SICK SHIT IMO) Wordsworth (CD - Mirror Music) - UNITY (SICK SHIT IMO) Wordsworth (CD- Mirror Music) - Evolution (SICK SHIT IMO) Dead Prez (RBG) - Hell Yeah (Pimp the System), Original or w/ Jay Z. Dead Prez (RBG) - Walk Like a Warrior Dead Prez (RBG) - D.O.W.N. Dead Prez (RBG) - W-4 (SICK SHIT IMO) Dead Prez (RBG) - I Have a Dream, Too Guerilla Black - Letter to BIG - SICK SHIT Guerilla Black - I don't give a fuck Guerilla Black - Okaay - SICK SHIT Guerilla Black - Go Hard - SICK SHIT Styles - See what I see - SICK SHIT Styles - Can you Believe It - SICK SHIT Styles - I'm Black - SICK SHIT Styles - My Brother (old) - SICK SHIT Styles - Real Shit - SICK SHIT ------------- Lil' Keke, Young Redd, Paul Wall - Take Me As I Am DJ Khaled - Before the Solution (ft. Beanie...sick Beanie, Pooh Bear)...sick sick sick 2 Pistols ft. T-Pain - She got It Ace Hood - Lollipop Blade Icewood - My Life Bone Thugs N' Harmony - Streets (ft. Will.I.Am & Game) Bone Thugs N' Harmony - Candy Paint Daz Dillinger - Get Drunk Freeway - Spit that Shit Freeway - Walk with Me (ft. Busta & Jada) My mind is drawing a blank when I know it shouldn't, but also the song Raise It Up is pretty sick (older) and I Can't Hear You (either Mobb or Big Noyd/Mobb) ------------ A bunch of shit from: Pooh Bear Freeway Beanie The Roots Young Buck AZ Bun B Chamillionaire El Dorado Red Jadakiss Busta Guerilla Black Lil Scrappy Lil Wayne (Presidential, Best of Me freestyle, Hustla Musik, Best Rapper Alive) Mobb Deep Saigon Slim Thug Snoop Styles TI The Game Xzibit Big L Talib Kweli The Last Emperor (a few songs) Real selective list, I know....I will say this though. If you can't appreciate AZ, Talib Kweli, Styles P, Saigon, Guerilla Black, Freeway, The Roots, Pooh Bear, Royce Da 5'9, Roscoe, Mobb Deep, Masta Ace, BIG, and a few others - It will be worthless arguing with me.
Hilarious to see a rich La kid like Scott Caan wearing the bandana acting like hes all hard!!! with the snowboarding in the backgorund.....LOL....Alchemist looks young as hell in that video
Chamillionaire ft. Z-Ro - Denzel Washington http://audio.chamillionaire.com/fanbuild/chamillionaire/denzel.zip
This B.o.B. vs. Bobby Ray tape is great. He is a crazy talent. Not an overwhelming MC but he can play guitar and he isn't a bad singer. Dude is a triple threat.
Scott will fuck someone up, though. I've seen him tried twice and both times resulted in a serious beatdown.
Same. Being a huge Nas fan the beat make it just a great track to me, since Nas hasn't had the best ear for beats.
other than Jay these are the 2 best rappers Drake has worked with Drake,Phonte & eLZhi-Think Good Thoughts (prod. by 9th wonder) http://www.zshare.net/audio/61785864eae0c46b/
Reflection Eternal video for Back Again http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=59255085
yea I'm not a big drake fan (damn near every kid I graduated high school with is) so I had no idea about this until I saw it on nahright
I also rarely check out mixtapes. My policy when it comes to new shit USUALLY is if its not on the itunes store its not worth listening to.
The Roots perform their upcoming single on fallon http://nahright.com/news/2009/06/25/video-the-roots-how-i-got-over-live-on-jimmy-fallon/#comments
Awhile ago I linked a leaked version of Lushlife's next album Cassette City well he pushed it back due to the leak and made changes including adding a verse by eLZhi to his song In Soft Focus dl it here http://www.zshare.net/audio/618507901e4c7527/
So I had someone relay a beat cd to a semi-known up and coming west coast MC. Just got a call from said MC to meet up tomorrow and discuss some shit. Needless to say I'm fuckin pumped.
needless to say irush wants an email about who this MC is as soon as you can give out the info. i need details and congrats
I'll hit you up when I can drop some more info. I'm tight lipped right now for fear that if I talk about it too much, it won't go well.
i do like drake i just dont get what all the fuss is about. He uses autotune and got famous off a song made for girls. He's a solid rapper but already overrated. I just had someone via facebook tell me he is top 3 in rap right now. I'll take Wale and Blu over him all day as far as freshmen go
You all need to check out this album. Its fucking DOPE. Album is called "Ground Original 2: No Sell Out" by DJ J-S1. Its got a sick line-up. Chino Kills this shit Chino XL, Sean Price & Killah Priest - Murder (Prod: DJ JS-1)
