This is really good.
>>60261842
Or...
>>60261867
I liked this better than The Water[s] desu.
>>60261867
Shitty cover art though.
>>60261867
it didn't leave much of an impression on me
>>60261893
I disagree but Im too lazy to say why
>>60262121
Fair enough. I'm too lazy to figure out if there is even any point to this music discussion.
>>60261842
i can tell you kilt is better than sincerely yours
Anyone wanna hear the first song i ever made? I promise its good
What's the best Redman album?

I suspect you're shilling your own music, but I'll listen to it anyway.
>>60262486
are these beats from 2010
>>60262455
This is alright. They flow pretty well, even if I can't understand what they're saying. Just wish the sound quality were better.
>>60262490
Song's from the 90's...
>>60262486
I don't get what people see in Chief Keef, musically.
What do you guys think of Immortal Technique, overall?
>Hardmode: Don't talk about his fanbase
>>60262455

Here's a 320kbps version.

>>60262486
the remix to Gucci's classic Atlanta Zoo is actually good
>>60262623
I think it's more the mixing than the kbps
Regardless, thanks for the link
What album has the coolest cover art?
>pic slightly related
>>60262723
Pretty fucking good. Good album, too.
36 Chambers' art is good in a similar way.
>>60262766
I don't really like it desu. Here's another one I like.
What do you guys think of PND?
>>60262937
>I don't really like it
Please tell me if you're talking about Gravediggaz or 36 Chambers' art so i know what to be angry about

watch this without cringing. just try it
>>60262486
all these are dope
>>60262335
I like Whut? and Dare Iz a Dark side about equally. The former is just great bars with Redman's trademark style, the latter goes in a more absurd direction reminiscent of Danny Brown. I'd say listen his first three albums in order as well as some of his features. Whut? is the most essential album if you're digging into his artistry.
>>60261842
I made this one. This is pretty much all street and party rap. The other one has a lot of alternative stuff in it, most of which i'm not very familiar with. But in terms of who is/was really relevant on a street/party level, I think mine does a good job.
>>60263527
I did, I enjoyed it. I like his VHS style videos, even if it is getting a bit repetitive at this point.
It also helps that I'm not an asshole who goes out of their way to try and feel superior to other people
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2sfs9r30ag
gentle reminder that hip hop is objectively terrible music made by and for unintelligent people
>>60263527
>>60263642
>Music Video General
Just listen to the song, only argument against Bones are his videos.
Who are the number one unsigned rappers and why are they Lil B and Chance the Rapper?
>>60263154
>>60263399
>>60263654
stop promoting all these white rappers, theyre mediocre at best
A Tribe Called Quest is objectively the best hip hop group of all time and nothing could ever change that, prove me wrong.
>inb4 phife dawg
>inb4 "corny rhymes"
>>60263770
number one group for releasing the same fucking music over and over
I do love them though.
>>60263770
>Gang Starr
>>60263746
This tape was shit, and Lil B doesn't make good music. If by "unsigned" you mean signed to a minor label, then Freddie Gibbs.
>>60263696
my argument is 1, this 90s 3 6 mafia revival got old after 2012. 2, His need to other himself from the rest of hip hop by adding in screamo is lame as hell. and 3, his lyrics are just corny. drug addicted white teenager boo hoo.
>>60263757
white American rappers > black rappers > asian rappers > british rappers > Indian rappers
>>60263811
pfffHAHAHAHAHAHHA
>>60263826

I know hip hop fans are retarded, but you are even more retarded than most

Bedtime Hayden, Bones tries to hard thats why he sucks. Very uninspired.

His own independent label.
>>60264630

>>60262622
GOAT Spiritual rapper. Still waiting on his next album though. I don't think there was a song from him I didn't really like.
>>60263014
It's pretty good. I just dont like the fact they recycled tracks from their EP. The beats sound very Arabic at some points.
>>60263154
>>60263399
They have potential but almost always squander it and end up releasing shit mixtapes with one good song on them. This also applies to Suicideboys (which as I've said before and will say again, Greygods is STILL their magnum opus).
>>60265146
>GOAT Spiritual rapper
That's Jay Electronica.
What does /hhg/ think of Tech N9ne?
I like slug christ a lot and can't find anything too similar do the hardcore hip-hop heads have recs for me
>>60265308
Jay raps about conspiracies and religion?
>>60265389
Hit or miss. Sickology was a good album. But the only released this year was crap
>>60265389
I defend him because I listened to him when I was a kid. I genuinely think he's underrated though. All his recent shit is garbage, he sold out hardcore, but Welcome to Strangeland, Everready and Absolute Power are really good.
>>60263838
Cool
>>60265389
Love his music but Special Effects was a major let down. Looking forward to Strangeulation 2 though.
>>60263826
Lil B is the best off the top unarguable. He freestyles on all of his mixtapes
>>60262335
Muddy waters at the moment but the first three albums are each interchangeably excellent.
>>60265653
That would explain why they suck. Maybe he should try quality over quantity.
HEY HIP HOP GENERAL
I'm looking for examples of hip hop songs where rappers explain that escaping poor economic conditions was their reason they made the decision to pursue a career in the music industry
>>60265389

Listening to this for the first time in a long time, and damn it's so good. Every time I'm reminded of just how great it is. I miss this Kanye, it's so different from now...
that Never Let Me Down...so good.
>>60266078
Listened to it yesterday, it's not good. There are a few good songs and some really shit songs.
>>60263953
there are some other good white rappers, they just arent popular and are still only niche at best
>>60266038
screw has a giant catalog, over 200 tapes, plus there are solo albums from dozens of suc members
what'd you guys think of Bad Neighbor? it could have been better, a couple songs I'm not a fan of. Drive In is fucking amazing though, I wish that the vocals were mixed better.
also is Anderson .Paak gonna be the next big thing? I really hope so Venice is fantastic
>>60264298
Swap Dilla for RZA and you are 100% correct
>>60266169
Thanks, there's too much new music to listen to everything. If you haven't listened to Coke Zoo yet, it's shit as well.

Can anybody recommend me some good grime albums? I wanna get into it after hearing Wiley.
hey guys, i come here to lurk but don't post often.
i trust your opinions more than the soundcloud guys, could you tell me what you think of this beat i made?
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/04lysx66cdju0rc/just_say_no.mp3
i've only been making beats for about two months now, and if you listen to it in quicktime or something other than itunes it sounds better. you can also manually turn down the volume in itunes by selecting the file > file> get info> options> and then turn the volume down manually until the bass doesn't clip.
i don't know why itunes sucks so bad at equalization.

I don't know why so many people here think that, RTJ2 was a pretty good album, I haven't heard their first one but the second was great.
>>60270678
I think after they started to get a bit meme happy with all of their corny christmas card pics and cat remixes anon started to turn.
>>60270700
I can get that, didn't listen to Meow The Jewels and never followed any of their social network so all I've heard/seen is their albums.
So, is there a difference between "rap" and "hip-hop"?

Reminder to check out The Private Press. It's no Endtroducing..., but it is really really good. Can't vouch for the other albums, though.
Definitely check out his set in the boiler room, although it ain't hiphop.
Ty Dolla Sign is quietly putting together the best r&b album of the year. The song with Kendrick and James Fauntleroy he just put out is great

>>60275328
Because it's not hip-hop and 99.9999999% of it is just shitty roadmanz shouting about beating people up in really boring, uninteresting ways, while rhyming the same word or phrase over and over.

You know another thing, it seems like most of the would-be hip hop tracks just take cues from Beck's Loser. Did Beck ever do other songs like that or did he just make whiteboy lazy rap in one track and then leave it to other people.

You gotta give Something Else another chance. It has filler like all his projects but the first dozen or so songs blew me away. Most everything before Dwamm was just damn good.

Is there a way to get in touch with producers online that are willing to partner up for a song or two? Looking to start a small hip hop career and would love it if I had an actual producer to wok with. Just someone to make two or three beats and master two or three songs. Thanks!
