Hip-Hop 2010

horsebox09

New Fat Joe album is out, and its actually well worth checking out, I'd say its easily his best album in over a decade

"Im Gone" is the best Primo beat I've heard in a while

Rjd2

Just out of curiosity has anybody heard the Jammer, Klashnekoff or Giggs album?

ghostface ste

Just saw Rhymefest - El Che dropped last month, anyone have a listen yet?

Orizio

Yes, pretty weak.

Boom_Bap

It's not a great album from Rhymefest, although One Hand Pushup is pretty good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdcgUhmhml8

You can hear most of the album on youtube, he's releasing a video for every track, he's about 5 or 6 in so far.

Some interesting stuff coming out, i even see a new Big L record in there. Also looking forward to the Camu Tao album.

Boom_Bap

New Ras Kass double album called A.D.I.D.A.S. has been released. I was expecting a lot of trash mixed with a few decent songs. But it's the opposite, some really good songs and a few ropey ones. As mentioned on another thread, trim the fat and take it down to a standard album and you would have something special. The stuff with Rhettmatic really stands out.
Ras drops some serious lines on this album. Guest spots are really good as well, standouts are Skillz, Evidence and Jean Grae.


EDIT: Chino is on fire on Scenario 2012, actually everyone on it excels, great posse cut although it pales in comaprison to the original

Yeah dl'd the album, pretty average i have to say. Gonna check out the Rass Kass one there.

Will be lookin forward to the Black Milk album and think Evidence may have new album out this year but cant see any release date yet

Rjd2

Erm did anyone know Metaform has dropped a new album?:eek:

I only found out when looking up Blue Sky Black Death who incidentally has released a track from his new album...

Orizio

Listened to the new Metaform ages ago. Pretty dull.

Yeah, I looked up some reviews earlier, their wasn't much buzz about it really. I'l give it a shot some of the days, but I am prepared for the worst, shame as I liked his last album lots.

Crooklyn

Since we're half a year in already, I'll heads up the drops some of you might have missed out on.

Freddie Gibbs - Str8 Killa, No Filla
Dope all around, if you ain't heard 'bout the man from Gary, Indiana - make sure you check out either his pre-album EP or the actual album. Soulsoothing beats usually laces his flow correct, but he can go hard in most directions. Usually gangsta to the core, rapping about drugdealing, the ghettolife, bitches, poverty - ah, the basic principles which makes the genre what it is.

Rick Ross - Teflon Don
By now, this should already have gotten all the mentions it deserves right here in this post - but it's a worthy mention nonetheless. Great production as always when you mention this guy, he correctly admitted to this summer being his around May already. The fact that his features has more flowtime on the mic than he has could be seen as something negative if you'd want to get specific about representation and it actually being his own album, but since it's all high-grade stuff from top-echelon rappers, for hip-hop in general that's a positive.

Big Boi - Sir Luscious Left-Foot; The Son Of Chico Dusty
The long-awaited solo-debut by Andre's partner in crime. Not a day overdue if you ask me. The production goes hard, venturing into most lanes but still staying true to his homegrown ways. Everything from partyanthems, smoke-a-thon odes and some of that introvertive stuff. Definitely a mainstay in my iPod for the remainder of the year.

French Montana - None Specifically
Now, this cat I hope ya'll heard of. Started off his career from a different angle, releasing street DVD's to promote himself while incorporating interviews and freestyles straight from the hood with other, already famous rappers. Having sold around a million DVD's (unverified, self-proclaimed) under his Cocaine City-imprint, he had made certain to have his name ring bells all around the underground scene, as well as a creative way of furthering his already extensive list of contacts in the industry. Signed a solo-deal with Akon's Konvict-label not long after his partner in crime (for real doe) Max B got jailed for 75-years for an attempted robbery which left a guy dead at a motel a few years ago. Claiming to have appeals in place, we'll see how that goes for him. They made a perfect rap-marriage with their equally interesting styles, albeit different. French would in my eyes be considered Max' hypeman, but now that Max' out the picture, we'll see if French can carry his own weight. Usually sampling old soulmaterial, his songs are always a smooth listen. As far as his lyrical talent goes, it's not that great, but with the proper feats and production, this guy's all fire. Set to release a debut-album, and another co-venture with Three 6 Mafia. Until then, make sure you look up any of his numerous mixtapes which would easily outshine a lot of albums.

I've given the new Blue Sky Black Death album a few spins, its not as immediate as Late Night Cinema which is a stunning piece of work, but given time it is a grower.

Here is the video for the first single Carl Sagan...

I got it myself there last week its fairly decent, really enjoying the tune, that features chali 2na, called mean streak. Its an EL-P beat from his most recent megamix.

Just read a piece on this, PM and his manager basically made a decision to delay the release. They where waiting on vocals from guests to be delivered and they arrived late, and then they wanted to add some extra bits and pieces. With the original release dates, they felt the project would have been rushed.

new raekwon song and video its an emotional tribute to odb and i like it big time

watch out for the new micheal jackson album its supposed to be huge, here's a track ft jay z that was leaked not sure if its on the album, but he has a song he recored with 50 cent (what a odd combo) before he past away and its meant to be quailty and its defeintly on the album along with a feature from akon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS1VO7gSK-8

mufcboy1999

intersting jay z interview claims take over was 100 times better than either, i dont agree at all.

worthy of a thread takeover vs either with a poll? i think jay is just plain ignorant here about it, he also imithes eminem killed him on renegade and talks prodigy of mobb deep.

There was one of the producers from Recovery saying that he is working with Em saying that there will be new stuff from him by the end of the year. Can yfind the link now......but after reading that, the track with Royce pops up fueling rumours.
