i think hardaway is closer to Lucci than Quan. It sounds an awful lot like "key to the streets" which was massive last year
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 23:54 (six years ago) link
two years ago?
It was still pretty big last year, at the very least. Wouldn't you say that Lucci is influenced by Quan though? Their styles of emoting are pretty similar, and Type of Way is the first song I can remember that did it like that (remember when Quan and Future were beefing because people thought he was biting Future at the time, though? lol!). His new album is a hundred times better than the new Quan is either way.

Really enjoying the Cardi album. Interesting that the collabos with Kehlani and SZA are among the best tracks on the album. Why aren't there more collaborations like this between female artists - queen bee faceoffs excepted? Somewhat surprisingly, the Lil Xan album also sounded good on a first skim.

Holy shit there's a new Husalah album
― stormzy daniels (voodoo chili), Friday, 6 April 2018 13:26 (six years ago) link
yeah and it's better than what i expected.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it a lot more than the e-40 & b-legit on the first listen.
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Friday, 6 April 2018 14:13 (six years ago) link
the e-40 & b-legit is boring, sadly.
― ANU (sisilafami), Friday, 6 April 2018 15:48 (six years ago) link
I'm about 1/2 of the way through it and it sounds good to me, but im good with them just trading bars over sparse beats.

Man that Cardi B album is impressive
― Evan R, Friday, 6 April 2018 21:03 (six years ago) link
that album hits all the expected notes of a well-made contemporary pop-rap album but it leaves me entirely cold

it's sort of like the opposite of impressive to me. i would say it's very... competent
― J0rdan S., Friday, 6 April 2018 21:12 (six years ago) link
It's impressive in a Fetty Wap s/t "Damn, this really does live up to the singles" kinda way. Competent is way underselling what she pulls off here.
It's not profound or anything, but it's much more personal and well-rounded than it could've been. She does a good job playing off her persona while showing there's a real human under it. Kinda works on a Bruno Mars, pure entertainment level mostly, but her performance really sells "Thru The Phone"

Oh damn that CRASHprez!!!!! Best thing I've heard from him yet

the famous dex album is pretty good too, i don't like the single though.

Watching the Roxanne Shante biopic on Netflix, pretty well done, feels like a good moment for it with Cardi blowing up
Anyone check out Dr. Octagon? It's (surprise) kind of a mess but Keith sounds more engaged than I've heard in a long time

husalah album is a so good. seems like there's some depth in there to unpack as well.

"Protect Your Soul" is dope
this prob goes on the wiki-entries-written-by-fans-thread:
James "Husalah" Ratliff (born May 13, 1979), is from Pittsburg, California. He began his career with the Pittsburg group the Mob Figaz, whose first album, C-Bo's Mob Figaz, was released in 1999. Like his close-friend, The Jacka,who was killed on a street corner, may he rest in peace, were part of Mob Figaz, and will go down as bay area legends.

I've seen this comparison a few times and wish I hadn't, cause they left me expecting hype/energy levels that never materialized.
― Simon H., Saturday, 7 April 2018 11:03 (six years ago) link
It's not the same song, but I think it's great and it's her personalityMeek is a shouter, she's more yapping like Shante
Anyway I'm not even supposed to be the goon that likes this but it's a good album! I played it and the Dr. Octagon a couple times yesterday
