The Hip Hop Thread

[Max Power]

Imagine being one of those people who hates Kanye.

[simon]

Kanye.

Also, what the fuck is B.o.B upto with this 'the world is flat' bollocks?

[Reg]

I'm going to have to find a way to use 'You have interrupted my creative process' on someone.

I love the disparity between the insulting ones and then ones like this:

17th I think you dress cool I wish I was skinny and tall

[Bernanke]

Kanye release fuckery keeps on delivering:

[simon]

#FingersInTheBootyAssBitch is a cracking hashtag, it must be said.

[Bernanke]

[wullie]

Used to be that you had to watch daytime TV to see idiots air their dirty laundry in public.

[Manc]

I'll let Amber Rose arse fuck me with her toes.

[Bernanke]

Gonna kill any discussion before it even begins by saying fuck Drake.

Then we can talk about how Nas murdered the March Madness beat:

[Baz]

No even gon click the link (too drunk) but anyone saying fuck drake better be careful.

[simon]

The new Drake track is typically him. And typically really good.

[Baz]

They're the same thing.

His part on "Work" by Rihanna ruins it though. Too slow for that track.

[Baz]

Logic tickets have been ordered.

Going with someone who doesn't like rap music or even know a single Logic song or even who he is.

[simon]

[five time]

Been out of the loop for a while. What albums from this and last year should I be listening to?

Had Tetsuo and Youth recommended to me but it seems like something I'd have to be in the mood for, if that makes sense. Definitely give it a few more listens before it gets binned off though.

"Donuts" is ten years old today. That's made me feel my age a bit.

This obviously also means that it's almost ten years since he died as well.

[Max Power]

Genius.

Throwback to when Gobstopper was my ringtone for about three years.

[simon]

I only listened to Donuts for the first time a few months back.

It's really cool. It was also weird hearing so many 'familiar' beats because of others resampling the stuff on the album.



Definitely my favourite track from it.

[CJay]

So I guess Swish / Waves / Untitled isn't going to leak?

[wullie]

It will, but by the point nobody will know which file to download.

[Bernanke]

So I guess Swish / Waves / Untitled isn't going to leak?

It's now called TLOP.

[CJay]

Oh yeah, I hope that's a MBDTF style shortening rather than what it will actually be referred to as. Anyway, it's out tomorrow..when?

[Reg]

Yeah it's an acronym, the tweet afterwards said something about guessing the album title.

Not sure of the exact time.

[Bernanke]

"Final" tracklist.

[Josh]

It's a shame No More Parties In LA is missing

[Waffdon]

MBDTF on until the GOAT drops this

[phonics]

Wolves

[Bernanke]

Fuck off, Wolves CDQ is the holy grail.

[Amigo]

A three year wait for 10 tracks? Really?

[Alex]

Yeezus was ten tracks, we waited about three years for that I think.

[phonics]

Kanye has this thing about low track albums. I remember Pusha T telling Kanye to back off when he wanted My Name Is My Name to be 9 tracks long.

[Reg]

A three year wait for 10 tracks? Really?

He's been designing trainers.

MNIMN would've been better if it was 9 tracks tho.

[Baz]

Wolves

+1

[phonics]

Lies. He wanted all the uplifting ones gone to make a super dark album but I felt those were some of the best on the whole thing.

[Manc]

Drake's verse on Work is the fella at his best. Summer Sixteen is bit of a let down.

[wullie]

The Stars In Their Eyes Ma$e track is a particular favourite of mine.

[Bernanke]

That's the actual cover. It's on his twitter.

[wullie]

I bet it cost him a shitload too. I prefer the Yeezus cover.

[CJay]

That's really bizarre.

[Bernanke]

Does this album deserve its own thread?

[CJay]

It's bigger than gravitational waves. And Adam Johnson being a nonce.

[Reg]

Does anyone know if it will be on iTunes and/or Spotify? Or is it annoyingly Tidal-only?

[phonics]

Tidal and iTunes. It'll leak within minutes anyway.

Someone post a link when they have one. I won't tell if you won't.

[Alex]

He needs to get a fucking wriggle on and stick this up on iTunes.

[Alex]

I've been playing old Kanye in preparation, currently got "808's & Heartbreak" on. When you think about it, the influence that album had on the musical landscape is staggering.

[CJay]

Plz just put it on iTunes. I want it for driving to Belfast tomorrow.

[phonics]

Ultra Magentic Beams is just a Chance The Rapper Song

The second song sucks for 2 and a half minutes.

You can watch it here but the stream SUCKS:

[Bernanke]

I'm watching a restream of the Tidal stream on Twitch.

http://www.twitch.tv/krunkyxo

Beat on Famous was crazy.

[CJay]

Does anybody actually wear that trash?
