/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

Been relistening to Pharoahe Monch's discography. I'd easily put him in my top 5, hes such a skilled mc, great songwriter, one of the best/most iconic flows, and his beats are great. His discography is fucking solid. The only album that isn't a classic is W.A.R, and even that one is still great.

>>53703854
never thought i'd see the album posted on /mu/.

one of my fav 90's g funk albums, along with his 1995 album

it sucks that it took his death to get me to pay attention, but i've been digging into The Jacka recently, and his stuff's phenomenal.

>*Things you don't understand
Jay-Z... I've made shitstorms about this. His music is fine, but he has no amazing skills as a rapper, and really isn't the gangsta everybody makes him out to be. Plus I've never really like anything Roc-A-Fella had to offer, maybe one of you could shed some light on why you enjoy him so much. As far as a business in music standpoint, I think Dre has him beat

>*Unpopular Opinions
Maaan Too $hort is one of the greatest rappers to ever do it. His flow is on point and his realism is hilarious and dope. He once said in an interview "I could have been a better dictionary rapper than half the East coast abstract artists, but I wasn't going to do that, I was going to bring it to Oakland real" and I respect that. Imo he blows Biggie out the fucking water on "The World Is Filled", granted it's not Biggies best track and the beat is made for Short but still.

Oh yeah he's awesome, I really need to listen to him more.

>>53704086
Oh yeah it's awesome, it is a classic though, I'm sure somebody's posted it here.

Love this album to death but have never understood the concept (if there is one) anyone care to enlighten me?

>>53704231
I agree on Too Short, the dude is the underrated pioneer of pimp rap, mad respect. I love his track "Nasty Rhymes" its an underrated cut off his record Gettin' It.

>>53704236
I haven't listened to it enough to pick up on a concept (which is a shame).

It does seem massively influential to early 00s and mid 00s hip hop. Atlanta was about to change to that real stanky crunk/trap rap with Lil Jon and TI and all them as was Memphis and New Orleans soooo, that's just where I see it in retrospect

>>53704373
Not only was it Pimp rap, but the whole independent, cassette pushin culture he started for the Bay area and hip hop around the nation. That might not seem important to some of you, but the Bay Area underground of the 90s is terrifyingly huge and a lot of it can be credited to him

>>53704086

The Eminem Show, probably. The Marshall Mathers LP's a close second though. I think the quality of the tracks on MMLP's better but there's more tracks that I like on TES.

>>53703854
1. Lil Terror - It's Whatever. Great Memphis rap album so far.

2. The 90's ofc, but 2010's is pretty close.

3. Either NY or Detroit

4. Idc to be honest.

5. Danny Brown's new material, Kendrick Lamar's new LP, Cannibal Ox's new LP, Jay Rock's, Freddie Gibbs', Meow The Jewels, Earl Sweatshirt's new album, and jenny death ofc.

6. The hype surrounding iLoveMakonnen. The guy, apart from a very succesful single with Drake and a couple good songs has literally nothing to offer, it makes Big Sean as an actually talented guy, which it isn't, Also I can't get the admiration for Eminem. Yeah the guy has a lot of technical skill, but he keeps making shit song after shit song and he still being praised as a deep and thoughtful rapper.

7. Young Thug is an amazing rapper. Yeah he doesn't give away food for thought like Lupe Fiasco or isn't really original, but nigga got skillz maaaaan.

8.Top 3 (all time):
MF DOOM
Biggie

Bonus (cuz fuck you):

>>53705624
That's my favorite too, i think it's some of his best stuff although MMLP is more consistent. But some tracks on Eminem show like Till I Collapse or When the Music Stops are actually great

i'm listening to this big sean album it seems ok so far, i've heard most of these songs already tho

>>53705716
>what did you think of new drake?
quite enjoying it, there is still filler but it's 100x less obnoxious than the filler on his earlier albums, plus there are no obviously shoehorned in features
his typical bragging lyrics also sound far better and come across as genuine confidence as opposed to insecurity if that makes sense

been trying to find / dl a bunch of albums from a houston flowchart and i am barely finding any of them online, and it's making me sad. in the search i found an article saying the dallas hip-hop scene was better and i laughed, still sad though nonetheless.

>>53705954

>No beefs but the whole iggy azalea/Macklemore "are whites stealing our music" "what is hip hop" conversation is kinda interesting

I think (now this is just assumptions and what I've from Twitter and shit like that so I can be totally off base) Iggy just doesn't give a shit about hip hop culture and she's purely in it for the money. She's exploiting something I guess. I can see why people don't like that.
Now I'm not a fan of Mackelmore (music wise) I don't think he's doing anything wrong. He's just seems kind of dopey and "why can't everyone get along" when he talks about cops and shit like that I dunno.

I guess it boils down to people don't like it when people are "black" only when it's convenient

>>53706343

>>53706381
Now that's what I'm talking about

>>53705858
My view on the album is if Ye was on acid during The College Dropout era. I like it a lot and I'm looking forward to what else Chance has in store but that's what it reminds me of.

Don't let his voice/peppered laughs put you off though. If you give it a couple of listens it'll grow on you

>>53706263

>What have you been listening to recently?
Drake's new mixtape. I really like it. He's still got his emotional side there, but it's not interrupting the main event.

Kid Cudi is one of the best rappers to ever do it. Not influential, just really good. Indicud was good

Modern trap and its artists are the worst thing to happen to hiphop ever. Everything Post-Gucci Mane is just ignorant, unoriginal shit. Literally all of them are just unoriginal, fakes, talking about shit they never did. Chief Keef just a mommas boy, never killed no one. In the 90's with all the mafiosa albums coming out, they would paint a picture with their lyrics with a dope beat produced by RZA or DJ Premo. Now its all fake shit talking about fake shit with a shit producer

Listen to Das Racist's 3 releases (Shut Up Dude, Sit Down Man, and Relax) first, if you haven't already. Before you move on to pure, unfiltered Victor Vazquez, I'd suggest listening to Kool & Kass' tape Peaceful Solutions as well; they're not as good a pairing as Kool and Heems, but it's a chill tape. Then, check out WORD OK, his solo album from last year. It's his most concise solo project, and it's got varied but cohesive instrumentals, as well as some great features (aside from the usual Greedhead/Mishka folks, Talib Kweli and Del appear). It's companion/outtake compilation NOT OK is also good, but not essential.

After that, if you've been drawn in, check out his numbered tapes (19, 63, and 51). They can get spotty, but if you like Kool's style and delivery they'll hit the spot. If you are really in love after those, he's got some pretty weird older material, namely THE ELECTRIC KOOL AD ACID TEST, which is pre-Das Racist.

honestly one of my favorites, shame that it's mostly written off as a meme on here, it's genuinely interesting and pretty emotional at parts.

does anyone have any recs for something similar to this?

Went to see Cage live in Vancouver for the first time last night and the final opening act was rad as fuck haha. He got hit with a beer can and went and stomped the guy who threw it in the face. Did not expect that from Gorgeous Geordie. His video is sick.

>>53707232
I feel like he's got kind of a Drake complex going on - he gives us his sensitive side, but then right around the corner puts on his tough guy face (i'm not going to say to compensate, but some might..) and it just comes off as sounding like he's trying too hard. i really liked his newest tape, but their was some cringe on it.

Shit, meant to say east coast but King Tee is making me reconsider.
>>53707535
Now I fucked up

>>53707326
shut up dude is good, too many filler tracks imo. their rapping and chemistry improved on SDM and the production they managed to get was real impressive. relax was kinda disappointing for me, it's like they forgot to make a rap album
looking forward to the new heems, i'll be paying for it too

>>53707476
SHUT THE FUCK UP PEEP BEEP I'M BACK TONIGHT TO RUIN UR NIGHT

>Good luck ruining my night when you're dead, kiddo

I'm reconsidering my opinion on Drake after reading this.

>>53707589
Admittedly the songs themselves aren't the sole reason why I think Relax is their best release. I love the whole concept to it, like they're attack the idea of the 'debut album' by suddenly repeating their choruses into the ground (even more so than usual) and talking way more about money over beats that are way louder and more aggressive. It's like the whole album was designed to be befuddling to DR fans, rap listeners, and any who hadn't heard them before Relax. Kool puts it best, I think, in the album's opening verse:

"Negro please, I know I'm an idiot
But I got a schtick and I'mma use it a little bit
I'm not too sure if I should clue in the little kids
Or if I'm too clueless to move with the bigger fish
Why it gotta be those two and not some other shit?"

>>53707720
Did you get King Tee off my flowchart or nah, did you say you didn't listen to much south or west? I cant remember

I updated it yet again with 4 more albums, but I think it's really going to stop there for now.

unless I want to include the Bloods and Crips album lol, I just might

>*What have you been listening to recently?
I mostly listen to old school hip-hop. When I don't I'll listen to Odd Future, Drake, Kanye, I think I might like Nicki Minaj, A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown, Captain Murphy, Jeremiah Jae, Joey Bada$$, Death Grips and B L A C K I E.

>*Favorite decade?
90's. Always
>*Favorite region?
It's a hard decision. But East Coast

>*Most interesting beefs for you?
I liked the whole beef that happened after NWA slowly disbanded. First it was Ice Cube, Then Dr. Dre.

>*Upcoming releases you're excited for
Captain Murphy, Drake, Earl Sweatshirt, maybe Tyler the Creator's.

>*Things you don't understand
Why did Birdman keep delaying Lil Wayne's Carter 5?
Is Earl really going to leave Odd Future? I can't see them as a group without him.
Has Kanye given up on rapping? All he does is sing now.

>*Unpopular Opinions
Chance the rapper's voice is really annoying. That's all.

lol cba for the hate actually, i got my pop-rap fix already, how u doing?

>>53707811
i hadn't thought of the album like that before, i'll revisit it.

>>53707863
I didn't listen to much South. I found out about King Tee a while ago off some other recs.
Your charts are breddy nice too.

>>53707863
You should try to work Suga Free - Street Gospel on there

>>53707881
give into the Nicki hype. She's absolute fire on guest verses and she has quite a few great solo songs (Lookin Ass, Chiraq, Roman in Moscow)

>>53707881
>Why did Birdman keep delaying Lil Wayne's Carter 5?
he only cares about making young thug & rich homie quan superstars now

>Is Earl really going to leave Odd Future? I can't see them as a group without him.
odd future as anything more than group of friends ceased to exist a long time ago

>Has Kanye given up on rapping? All he does is sing now.
i'm sure he's slowly moving away from it, but he'll probably never give up on it entirely

>>53704045
monch is my favourite rapper, his flow is so great Eminem bit it for his whole career.
i

Tetsuo & Youth vs B4.Da.$$?
I personally loved both albums, but give Lupe the edge. My brother, a NY rap lover, thought Joey had the better album. Lupe just goes in though. Would love to what people think about these two albums.

Also, not an avid Drake fan but is his new mixtape any good?

>>53713445
Eminem got his flow from Masta Ace, not Monch

>>53713837
i think both albums are masterpieces, i just liked b4da$$ more.

>implying "Gangsta Gangsta" isn't the most funky song ever put wax in the history of the music industry

>>53713866
nah he got it from monch

>>53713837
Lupe by far

Joeys record gets dull pretty quickly

anybody got a sour soul lank?

It was a retrospective reading I got onto through some rap genius info.

But anon, don't you mean (Not Just) Knee Deep?

>>53715073
And no that would be Pinky Ring

Is there any good horrorcore that doesn't have boring old-school production?

I liked Dr. Octagonecolygist and 6 Feet Deep, but I feel like there should be something better.

>What have you been listening to recently?

Drake's new mixtape/album, The Low End Theory, 3 Feet High and Rising, Smell the Da.i.s.y.

The 90's because there's the most there. But this decade has had some dope shit and is still going, so, who knows.

Busta Rhymes is far better than Jay Z and DMX, and had Biggie not died in his primes Busta Bus would probably be better than Biggie.
