the 1st or 2nd one? 2nd is >>>> imo

anyone heard the new prodigy tape yet

i dunno whatever is linked upthread

xpost

it certainly says more about me than it does prodigy that i'm most excited about french montana being on like 1/4 of the tracks

Anyone heard the Juvenile tape? Was pretty excited cos I loved 'Power' from the end of last year, but back to back tracks with large chunks of Fugees 'Ready Or Not', Anita Baker 'Sweet Love' and Berlin 'Take My Breath Away' chased me screaming from my computer tbh

This Ka album is great. The production is especially gorgeous. Loving "Every..."

I kind of dig the new Cadence Weapon track but I really just wish there was something a bit more like Afterparty Babies which was a great album.

Or some of the grimier stuff off of Breaking Kayfabe

trap back is pretty great imo, mike will is incredible, he manages to use the trap sound template, add subtle details & make it his own sound.

Well, who knows if this is a one-off track with Grimes production or a hint of what's to come on his next (forthcoming?) album (or even an actual track from it?). I don't mind him going in a different direction, I just hate "rap sucks nowadays; let's go back to 1988!" tracks on principle.

that dude dj's like every after-party in montreal these days and plays lots of very goony rap music

i came from nothing 2 is great but haiti slang is probably the worst choice possible to open the tape with

Oh, Rollie has great taste in rap music. And usually makes pretty fine rap music himself.

???

he posted pretty regularly from like '03 to '06, i guess that was before your time?

i guess so. he is like momus of the goon squad then?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I would not necessarily say that

what was his name?

he posted as, get this, Rollie Pemberton

it was a different time

lol

good post, but for the record, the answer to "what was his name?" is always "l0u1s jagg3r"

rollie always seemed like a cool dude

i like rollie. never been too into his music personally. but 'oliver square' is kind of fun for being about how tough edmonton is

dunno rollie from here but he was big in the philaflava game.. nice dude

I think "Oliver Square" is fairly tongue-in-cheek, considering I'm from Edmonton, as well (although Rollie now resides in Montreal... they all leave, I tell you!).

Great tune, though.

ha, I had no idea about the rollie pemberton/cadence weapon connection

White people have ruined Jay-Z for me.

Yeah, I guess it's weird, but if I were talking about Rev's music (which like, I should at some point because it is fucking glorious stuff, etc. etc.) I wouldn't use his real name - I guess in this case his board name is his music-making name, but I tend to distinguish people from musical persona.

Or like. pre-Heartland, I'm pretty sure that Owen's music was still 'Final Fantasy' for me?

didn't Owen have to re-release his first two records because lol naming yrself after a huge franchise?

oh, i guess i imagined that happening. bad brain.

from westwood interview:

I seem to recall we were taken to several strip clubs when we were there.

Yeah, strip clubs are important. A lot of big records come out of the strip clubs. A lot of the records are made for the strip clubs and then they become hits from there. It's how the hit records are broken.

That makes strip clubs the rap equivalent of the Zane Lowe show!

Er, I wouldn't say that man, they're not corny.

Corny?

Did I say that? Must be this telephone (2). But at those clubs, there's a different attitude. Over here you wouldn't want to admit you went to a strip club. But over there strips clubs are proper nights of entertainment. One of the most incredible places I've been to is King of Diamonds in Miami. It's legendary in the game. It's the most hood experience you can possibly imagine.

What's it like?

It's in a massive warehouse, like a Tesco megastore, and the poles go right up into the rafters. And these girls will go 40ft in the air, do amazing acrobatics. People change their dollars into stacks (3) and will spend so much that the strippers have these guys going around with brooms and enormous boxes and they sweep all the notes in. On his birthday Rick Ross spent a million dollars in there. It's nothing for Lil Wayne to go there every Monday and spend $30,000 just throwing dollars up in the air. It's an incredible experience. And then halfway through the night they put up a boxing ring and the strippers fight each other. They put on gloves and headshields and be fighting naked and people will be betting thousands of dollars.I've been hood places from the Tunnel Club in New York to hood spots in Miami, hood spots in Jamaica, hood spots in Africa … but this one is the ultimate experience.

goon crew fap?

SMH at so many parts of that, especially the lol britisher bits. Z*ne L*we should never be mentioned on a rap thread.

it's Westwood tbf

so Jeezy is in town for All-Star weekend doing two small shows. neither of his events are in my price range (note: actually both are, but they're beyond the price I'm WILLING TO SPEND for 50 minutes of rapping). tomorrow's is $200. ugh. he's not coming here on his tour either.

Oh well...kinda thing being wall to wall with as many people as would be there during All-Star weekend would give me claustrophobia anyway.

I saw Cormega live last night. really awesome. He has the most devoted fans (all men btw)

it wasnt a huge crowd but it wasn't sparsely attended either, but like everyone there knew almost every word. It was really awesome

really awesome really awesome sorry i kind of rocked out afterwards & am having a rough hangovergangover
