new scarface tracks are good
man the devin album was shitty - way worse than the last one, which i didnt even like that much in the first place
― joe 40oz (deej), Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, looking forward to Face. am I crazy for anticipating Jadakiss more than any other album of the next couple months?
i'm usually not this guy but it's gotten pretty bad here in the second half of the year. if i see one more B.o.B. or CHarles Hamilton freestyle or fucking joe budden inter-video I'm just gonna stop paying attention all together. this is ridiculous.
seriously. people freaking out about Joe Budden in 2008, what the fuck. and all the blog rappers on the cover of the new XXL.
― some dude, Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:49 (fifteen years ago) link
all the blog rappers on the cover of the new XXL
funniest/stupidest thing I've ever seen. these dudes are the new model. get put on blogs, release a mixtape or two. have a marketable face/style. DON'T come out with an album. probably more profitable than the last one, I'm sure Wale has made a good amount of money in the past year.
the devin album is just so easy to listen to. it's not that great but i mean it's something
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:57 (fifteen years ago) link
not a mixtape or two, a new mixtape every 6 days. i'm kinda surprised by just how many of these guys already have major label deals, though. not that that means they'll actually release an album.
― some dude, Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:01 (fifteen years ago) link
Thing is, who has time to listen to all that shit?
― Whiney G. Torture Garden (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link
which ones have major label deals?
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Like it's cute how the fader gets excited about every time B.O.B. updates his myspace or whatever, but really I never know what songs to check out anymore.
― Whiney G. Torture Garden (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:13 (fifteen years ago) link
I feel like a crotchety old man about it, "Can't you just release an ALBUM so I can listen to it?"
― Whiney G. Torture Garden (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:14 (fifteen years ago) link
But, you know to anyone who's trying to keep up with El Guincho, Nachtmystium, Torche, Sebastien Grangier, Quiet Village, Devin The Dude and Ne-Yo all at the same time, these constant blog streams are just white noise that you start tuning out.

for what it's worth the ONLY person who cares about joe budden in 2008 is the dude who runs nah right

"DON'T come out with an album"
yep - its better to have people imagine what your album will be like rather than actually hear it.

my roommate has been telling me to check out the charles hamilton mixtape with the cover that looks like illmatic but i haven't gotten around to it. dude sounds alright i guess
btw BoB has an EP on itunes most of which is good also he only has one prominent mixtape which i linked to in the thread i started about him
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:20 (fifteen years ago) link
if you are watching any video posted on nah right or its cousin blogs you are a sucker and should be looking inward with disappointment not outward~
on the good side the album by The Knux sounds really cool but i don't even know when it comes out
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:21 (fifteen years ago) link
id be willing to check the knux albumit might be the first rap record that makes me feel old
― joe 40oz (deej), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:23 (fifteen years ago) link
I mean, I guess making albums costs money and freestyling over "A Milli" and having bloggerstans go OMG EVENT!!! is free.
― Whiney G. Torture Garden (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:23 (fifteen years ago) link
i like knux ok
im surprised rock mags like spin aren't jumping at the chance to anoint the knux as the next outkast
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:24 (fifteen years ago) link
a funny poll would be which rapper in 2008 have you not heard anything buy but are the most sick of?
i'd go with "mickey factz"
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:25 (fifteen years ago) link

Charles Hamilton's signed to Interscope, Wale's signed to Interscope, Asher Roth's signed to SRC/Universal, plus obv. the more mainstream guys on that cover (Ace Hood, B.O.B., Cory Gunz) have deals too.

that would be a good poll. i'd vote for Charles Hamilton.

XXL really shoulda just gone for broke and put Tyga and Shwayze on there too.

should the poll just be the 10 people on the xxl covers?
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:35 (fifteen years ago) link
btw ace hood's album is going to drop in 2 weeks and do V.I.C numbers
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:37 (fifteen years ago) link
I still think that dude is kind of good or at least well above most of the other Rappers from Florida whose first, biggest and/or only hit featured T-Pain but yeah, that album can't really be worth hearing, can it.
― some dude, Thursday, 30 October 2008 16:44 (fifteen years ago) link
im holding out hope that "cash flow" would rise on the hot 100 so ace could get something close to the beats/guests on the first ross album since he's pretty entrenched in the khaled camp cuz i think that would turn out to be a pretty listenable album

Eminem sans emotional baggage/"poor" aspects personality w/Jay-Z: The Indie-Friendly Years flow plus CollegeHumor.com vibe = pretty much a no brainer for mid level sales figures without much outlay.
He'll never make a "Shake It Like A White Girl" though, mainly because he's fucking shit.

BIOGRAPHY
Hip hop hasn’t evolved drastically in some time, and with all the new comers making catchy and infectious records for a quick ring tone sell, there’s a lack of creativity in hip hop and the focus is more about how many units can be sold. Every generation a few new artist’s come forth with something to set a pace for a whole new sound and vibe–this time around, the midwest delivers another innovative artist to break down barriers and set trends.
K.i.D CuDi’s music can only be described as the next level of music in our generation and for generations to come. Cudi (originally from Cleveland, Ohio, but spent the last 3 years living in Brooklyn) fuses alternative rock, hip hop and occasionally R & B, to form feel good and emotionally conscious records. His content is filled with witty explanations about himself and his lifes journeys, with a twist of story telling scenerios.His first single “Day N Nite” is nothing more than a conscious awareness record about his faults and how he deals with them. “I’m sure everyone has been in at least one or two of the scenerios I mentioned in “Day N Night”. It was a record designed to let the people out there know—hey, we all have issues. But there’s ways to get through and there’s always a brighter day ahead filled with answers to the toughest situations; we all get lonely sometimes, its life.” With every record, especially “Day N Nite”, CuDi vows to put his heart into each record, so after hearing each song you can feel like you actually know him. “People like records they can relate to, even if you can’t relate to something I speak about, you’ll at least understand my mind, I won’t lose anyone. Even if they haven’t walked in my shoes, they’ll feel me for me.”

Then came Soulja Boy Tell Em. I asked him, “What historical figure do you most hate?” He was stumped. I said, "Others have said Hitler, bin Laden, the slave masters..." He said, "Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we'd still be in Africa." My jaw, at this point, was on the ground."We wouldn't be here," he continued, having no idea how far in it he'd stepped, "to get this ice and tattoos."
