lokithelion Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Is MF DOOM involved in Doomtree? If so I'm all over it. No but he's better than P.O.S Fuck DOOM. He lipsynchs live. I was so bummed when I saw him live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I may just be really stoned, but I'm listening to Ninjasonik - The Mix #1 and within the first ten minutes I've heard two of the same songs used in a Girl Talk album. The bass line from 'Gimme Some Lovin' and 'Walk it Out.' Were those samples on the most recent GT album (which came out a year after The Mix) or did Ninjasonik bite their shit?[/quoteIf it's a mixtape there is a good chance he's just covering the beat. In hip hop mixtapes its common to jack beats from other songs and freestyle over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar11 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 the new Wale album is fucking great. my choice for hip hop album of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingbuzzo Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The new 50 Cent cd is actually pretty good, depending on your tolerance/like of old hardcore gangsta' rap and horrorcore as it's got some elements of it. Eminem's verse on the song "Psycho" is great. I'm thinking Em's been listening to a lot of old Detroit records lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewbr0 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 No but he's better than P.O.S Just listened to the song in that video...holy shit. Is this on a record somewhere? Also, it looks like the neighborhood I lived in (Bushwick.) Really stoked on this now. Edit: AND there's a Flipper poster on the wall! That rules. Edit pt. 2: Here's the link if anybody else wants to download that song. http://bln.kr/1AS~/ thanks man, have been looking for an mp3 rip of this for a few weeks now.

mcm1610 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 new Wyclef Jean is fucking amazing. Dude's rapping again and it's absolute fire. Technically it's an EP, but it's 16 tracks put together with the help of DJ Drama, only Drama doesn't shout stupid shit over the whole thing and Cyndi Lauper is on it and kills. Weird, but super surprise. DJ Drama as in... Drama from the Rob Dyrdek shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesupervillain Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 the new Wale album is fucking great. my choice for hip hop album of the year. Is this the dude that has an album full of Seinfeld lyrics/ samples? Yep, but it's more of a mixtape, not an album. Also, if you can stand listening to rhymes about selling coke in every song, the new Clipse album comes out next month and should be incredible.

jayeffscene Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 So, dumb question probably, but what's the difference between an album and a mixtape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'm guessing a mixtape is more random and less focused. Usually has bits and pieces from other peoples records. Just a guess though. I don't know the official definition. Side note: I have a friend that LOVES Ol' Dirty. He's tried to get me to listen to if for years now and for some reason I never got around to it. Finally sat down and listened to Nigga Please. Man, he was right, this record rules.

monk0nuggets Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 This morning I'm listening to B.I.G.'s "Life After Death". I don't know why it's taken me so long to sit and listen to some of these records. I've been missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehoffa Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Gotta' check out the first ODB album, Return to the 36 Chambers: the Dirty Version. Way better than Nigga Please. Nigga please is more of a party album what with the Neptunes production and whatnot. As for Clipse, I'm a little worried about the next record, as it's a bunch of different producers instead of all Neptunes like their previous records. As for the definition of a mixtape: these are releases that DJ's do where they piece together verses from the hottest rappers over the hottest beats (past and present). They usually have exclusive verses, although sometimes an especially good one will end up on an album if an MC deems it worthy. They're just a way to keep an MC's name out there in a highly competitive genre without annoying major label red tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I actually listened to Return... after Nigga Please and didn't like it as much. Nigga Please show cases just how nutty the dude was and I think that's what I like the most about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Not sure why, but I felt compelled to download Lil Wayne's new mixtape the other day. This idea came to me as I was listening to Blues Traveler. Not sure what to think of myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 How is it? Blues Traveler is awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It's alright. I hate Lil Wayne, but like some of the songs he sampled, so it's kind of 50/50 on me. I can agree with Blues Traveler, though, hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adammuzzy Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Also, if you can stand listening to rhymes about selling coke in every song, the new Clipse album comes out next month and should be incredible. i think young jeezy tops anyone as far as coke references to songs ratio.

immigrationproblem Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 When MC's do mixtapes it tends to be them just floating some ideas around. Kanye has done three mixtapes he calls Freshmen Adjustment 1, 2 & 3. On those you'll find some verses or choruses put to different beats or vice versa. I would definitely recommend them, if you're into Kanye. Lupe Fiasco had some really cool mixtapes also, he re-did six songs from Demon Days by the Gorillaz in a mixtape called "A Ryhming Ape" or it's the third in his First and Fifteenth mixtapes. hiphopdx.com is an incredible resource for mixtapes! I check it all the time, and they have some pretty cool reviews. It's like punknews for hip hop (and like punknews I don't bother reading the comments section!) As far as recommending some hip hop, this is what I listen to: Blue Scholars...Great hip hop from Seattle, they include a lot of politics, I listen to them all the time! Dyme Def...from Seattle, read about them on Hiphopdx, they sample a lot of stuff Emilio Rojas...from New York, I read about him on Hiphopdx Grayskul...I can't remember anything about them, just that I have it and like it Saul Williams...This guy is great if you like weird or interesting beats and music, his latest was produced mostly by Trent Reznor. Ghostface Killah...what is there to say about Tony Starks that hasn't been said? Jurassic 5...I'd be upset if there was a hip hop discussion without mentioning J5 Blackalicious...I actually just heard these guys, I'd heard a ton of great stuff and it's really good. K'naan...I love this guy, he's from Somalia and uses that well: "I make 50 Cent look like Limp Bizkit, it's true!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immigrationproblem Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I just went looking for my Blue Scholars record to put it on and I don't know how I forgot to mention Def Jux records. I have a triple LP set from them I bought a few years ago that has some incredible music on it! They're similar to Rhymesayers but not as big. Some recommended artists from DJX: S.A.
