the new Bone Thugs is considerably weakened by Bizzy's absence btw but they're good on Li'l Eazy's "This Ain't a Game"

is the Kramer thread funny now? last time I checked it yesterday it was just the usual dogpile of shrill ILE 'debate'.

I have successfully used this thread to avoid work for three hours now

np: DJ Skee, Tears of a Clown mixtape, not as good as Cali Untouchables but still pretty great

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

hey is that kidz in the hall thing any good?

the cover makes me think its some throwback to case of the PTA leaders of the new school, but i dunno. something seems suspect abt it.

― M@tt He1geson: Sassy and I Don't Care Who Knows It (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't heard it, I don't know if "they're ivy league" is the best press hook though

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

“dykes to watch out for”

(i don’t know how to make that into a hip-hop related joke, perhaps you guys can help?)

― RdotCummings (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

naledge did a track w/ cornel west

― anticon jemima (ooo), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I still just can't believe there's a rap group called 'kidz in the hall'

Inland Empire Untouchables: If Cerritos Wants Beef Vol. 1

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

no mention of the method man album? its pretty great surprisingly, if you delete a quarter of the tracks

― titchyschneider (titchyschneider), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I really, really love Method Man's style, but the best thing he did this year was his verse on the Masta Killa album on "Iron God Chamber"

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Is the Killer Mike worth picking up?

I hear things.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

it has some of meths best songs in a long time. i like it. its just good to hear him back again, not paying too much attention to making radio hits, and rhyming over erick sermon and rza beats. there just arent enough of those beats.

what are the hip hop albums of the year? i find it hard picking enough as even the albums with some of the best songs of 2006 were drowned in filler and middling material. i liked the e40 album but its just too long. but since thats not unique to that album its maybe unfair to single him out.

― titchyschneider (titchyschneider), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I went looking for independent explanation of the Lil Wayne/Birdman thing (i'd forgotten I'd seen that picture already) and found this instead.

If true then I want to rescue Lil Wayne from Birdman, it's hard not to suspect Birdman would be a pretty gross lover.

Not that I'd rescue Wayne for myself. Lex can go there I guess.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

no thanks! i want to know more about the tomkat nature of wayne & trina though.

can i assume from the evidence of the past gazillion posts that all you hip hop heads know the lil wayne/birdman thing inside out, but nothing about rasheeda? :(

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 21:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry Lex, I was giving you options not dissing!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost to titchy

I have the Method Man album, I haven't really gotten around to properly listening to it. It gave it one distracted listen when I got it, then kinda forgot about it.

As far as best rap albums of the year go, I'd say T.I./Ghostface/Pitbull/Xzibit/Shawnna/E-40 in roughly that order. I haven't heard the Clipse/Game/Snoop cds yet, though.

― Rodney... (R. J. Greene), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, XXL comments. Fun times.

lmao fuck this shit how many yall ride weezy dick his flow is lazy his punches are weak. and on top of that this fucka kissing birdman and shit i mean on d lips so fuck all d bullshit weezy bi-sexual lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

THIS NIGGA HAVE TOO MANY EMOTHINS!!!

Is anyone besides Noz looking forward to the new UGK? I liked "The Game Belongs to Me," but it's hard to see this being a brilliant filler-free double album. It'll be interesting to hear the songs with Big Daddy Kane and Dizzee Rascal.

― clotpoll (Clotpoll), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm looking forward to it, but haven't heard anything from it.

― RODNEY HAVE TOO MANY EMOTHINS!!! (R. J. Greene), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 23:57 (seventeen years ago) link

i heard the ukg/kane/kool g rap collabo. they really shouldnt have bothered.

simon reynolds on hip hop being 'bereft' -

― titchyschneider (titchyschneider), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 12:50 (seventeen years ago) link

no less an authority on rap than simon reynolds! and i see he came to this conclusion by... reading tom breihan's blog amd watching a few minutes of BET! fuck, that settles it then

― anticon jemima (ooo), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 13:39 (seventeen years ago) link

if you guys keep up this tired John-Ethan point-counterpoint bullshit I'm gonna make Frank and Chuck come in here and discuss Lady Sov (my fav rap full-length I've heard from this year: feminem-devoid-of-emonem beats 10 stay-the-course hustles with an extra 8-11 tracks of redundant bullshit. She's no MC Lyte yet, but neither is Young Dro).

― Zwan (miccio), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

and you know Chuck with flat-blast this thread with some ctrl-v's in two seconds flat.

― Zwan (miccio), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 14:32 (seventeen years ago) link

will, not with. and apologies to everybody who thinks rap and novelty don't mix.

― Zwan (miccio), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Lady Sov needs to get over being Lady Sov. Not that I didn't like the novelty, but it was certainly better over an EP.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

and yeah, I don't know how anybody who pushes that grime "scenius over genius" bullshit like Simon could settle for a top 20 countdown to tell him if a genre is empty.

x-post there's enough hooks to make it work for one full-length/best-of, but newer tracks like that "remember-when" one do make me worry she's gonna run out of themes fast.

― Zwan (miccio), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

i think when reviewing the LS album the conclusion i came to is that i'm not against levity/novelty in rap ("White & Nerdy" = one of my top 10 hip hop singles this year), but i'm still gonna be selective and subjective about what kind of levity/novelty i want to listen to (xp)

haha yeah sorry Al, I forgot you're just against white British women in rap.
