    Ah, that's how you spell "nahmean."

    Apparently it's a leaked nude of him. Dunno how real it is.

    Rap Genius did an interview with Big Ghost a few months ago. He's really on the ball when it comes to talking about rap. Of course he does it in his own language, namsayin.

    I love the way he says he doesn't hate Drake or Wiz, and then two lines later he says if he ever sees them in public he's gonna "slap em into the next dimension b".

    I could stay reading his stuff all night. It's addictive.

    Here's another one of him with a City jacket on. He really gets around the teams. No loyalty at all.

    Yeah i only got that one a few minutes after the others, couldn't get a url that worked.

    It shows how fake he is if he has to support a new team every second day, im waiting for him to whack out the arsenal and liverpool jerseys next.

    To be fair it's just a marketing ploy. He has absolutely no interest in any of them. When he gets pictured with Rio at Old Trafford and it's put up on Facebook it opens him up to a whole new area of fans, mainly those in Asia.

    He can't really keep it up though picking a new team every few days.

    The picture quality is brutal. Probably taken on a phone. I've only heard of it because of that blog so it could well be fake.

    Actually I just saw a tweet from Azealia Banks where she's mouthing off to TI and she brings up the picture. Great tweet from her it has to be said.

    Yeah but its not like theyre saying their life long die hard fans or anything. If I was out in America and someone gave me a xyz jersey going to their match id wear it just for the sake of it. If they were claiming to be big fans though then they are fools.

    Ah here that's Snoop though. He can get away with anything he wants to do.

    Them videos were brilliant.

    My favourite was probably him giving the shout out to the real Ronaldo. I'd say he was as high as **** at this stage and they could only do one take. He fairly messed up his words ha.

    Loads of rappers do it, Snoop does it at most of his European concerts. He wore a Shamrock Rovers jersey a few years ago and some people (Pats fans I'm guessing) weren't too impressed. In Glasgow he wore a Rangers jersey and a Celtic jersey at the same show. In Manchester he wears a United jersey, in London he wears a Chelsea jersey, etc.

    Game wore an Irish rugby jersey at one of his first shows here.

    What Drake is doing isn't any different, he just seems to like visiting the clubs/stadiums and meeting the players when he's in the UK. If someone wants him to make a promo appearance at Man City he's not going to turn around and say he can't, he's a die hard United fan. He doesn't care, he doesn't watch Premiership football when he's home, it's all just for promo.

    Look at every rapper in the US with basketball - in the same week a rapper can wear jerseys/merchandise for Lakers, Heat, Bulls, Knicks and nothing would be said.

    I came across a very interesting letter today. It's from an anonymous source but it appears to blow the whistle on the whole gangsta rap genre. There are no names mentioned. It is basically saying that a group of music insiders met and decided to invest more heavily in marketing gangsta rap. They wanted to promote criminal behaviour so that more people would be sent to the private prisons in which they had a stake.

    I know it sounds very suspicious but it wouldn't really surprise me. It's known as the prison industrial complex. A lot of people stand to make a lot of money on the back of prison expansions and more people being incarcerated. It's not as prevalent as it's bigger brother, the military industrial complex, but it still goes on and it's just as worrying.

    It'll be interesting to see if anything more comes of this. Especially who the people were in the room, that's if the whole thing is real.

    The second part is where the conspiracy kicks in. I agree with the first part Gangsta rap was clearly marketed very well. I think there were several more real things they did to screw up urban (minority) areas like flooding it with drugs and guns and corrupt police.

    1991?

    After the rise and fall of NWA and Ice-T and others? Just before the Chronic and Snoop and Pac and a few others but I think Gangsta rap was already well on the way to becoming more mainstream and popular before this apparent meeting.

    This was pretty much hip hop at its greatest. A stage full of the best golden era artists at the time and every one of them spits a class verse.

    And when the presenter, Ed Lover drops the "thanks to the brother that through the butterfinger" line the crowd goes wild.

    Hiphopdx have a good interview with Brother Ali at da moment, worth a read if ur into him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    I posted a few weeks ago about Freddie Gibbs and Rick Ross and how Gibbs doesn't like him at all. Well I saw this article on hiphopdx today and in it Gangsta Gibbs says he might be taking a shot at Ross on his upcoming mixtape.

    I know Gibbs is on Jeezy's label and they hate each other but as I pointed out before Gibbs has been saying this for a good while now, long before he was with Jeezy at all. It has probably just given the spark to light a potential feud.

    I hope that Gibbs disses Ross and that Ross tries to come back with something. I think Gibbs would eat him alive on a track.

    any raggae fans here ?

    just being pm'ing boom bap about a possible reggae thread here on the hip hop forum, yes i know its a completely different genre but theres no raggae thread on boards and its hippidy hop like the title describing the hip hop forum on the music forum.

    just want to see if theres any raggae fans floating about here?

    songs like this by the likes of the marleys where theirs clear bars being rapped.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    Having a Reggae thread makes sense, A Funk, Soul etc thread would be good too depending on support.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,342 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    There's already a forum for funk/soul ^

    Yeah i'm a big reggae fan, had Legend by bob marley on repeat for the past 2 summers, been listening to some peter tosh and some Eddie grant lately. Been listening to UB40 for as long as i can remember, my da has all their albums, big fan of them.

    I'd be in favour of a reggae thread. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    But all my Funk was gotten through Hip-Hop so that is why a thread on it would make sense, although a generic sample thread would make more sense maybe I dunno.

    Funk was not something I would kinda hear around Dublin, whereas at least some reggae was always kinda here and there vaguely.

    Andre 3000 to shoot Jimi Hendrix Biopic "All Is By My Side" here in Ireland

    I might have to go for a spot of celeb-hunting during the summer.

    According to this site the locations being used for the shoot are:
    IFTN understands that locations pencilled in to be used include Bray Head Hotel; the John Player Cigarette Factory on South Circular Road; Bray itself; a number of nightclubs in Bray, Dun Laoghaire and various other locations around Dublin.

    Hopefully they can convince him to pop down to Kilkenny and play a gig.

    Ghostface was featured in the New York Times crossword puzzle the other day.

    20 Across: Rapper who came to prominence as a member of the Wu-Tang Clan.

    There was space for 15 letters. You'd have been able to fit RZA, GZA, U-God and ODB in there as an answer. I'd say the people doing it must have been fairly pissed off. Almost none of them would have gotten it.

    While I'm on the topic of answers to questions, this is a peach of a clip from a Teen Jeopardy episode in America. It's probably the saddest answer anyone has ever given on a quiz show. 150k views as of now. He'll be getting some stick in school about it no doubt.

    Lil Boosie has somehow managed to escape the death penalty and further jail time over the murder of a guy a few years back. I was certain he was going away. The chap is nuts. He'll probably be back in jail in a few months again on drugs or gun possession. He's not quite as good at escaping charges as John Gotti was but he's getting there.

    fairly good interview from 50 and dj drama, they cover a lot of things. current hip hop, mixtapes, jay, snoop,nas, game with westside story and there beef, niki, lil wayne, meek mills numbers etc

    it was a live stream in the build up to 50s next mixtape "the lost tapes" so its fairly long.

    50 says his album is coming out july 3rd with or without label support. This is going to be 50 v interscope all over again, i dont think he'l come july 3rd but this will prob heat up a bit , so much tension between 50 and the label, jimmy iovine in particular for a years now.

    similiar to lupe's case with his label in ways, growing trend of rappers on majors going against them.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    Interscope is simultaneously the best and worst label consistently for the last several years now.

    50. Game. Letting Rakim and Busta go. Letting pretty much all of Aftermath 1.0 go. Cutting pretty much all of Shady 1.0
    Royce and Ortiz essentially re-signing up as part of Slaughtahouse, Crooked had some buzz around Aftermath too.

    Just a weird weird label/superlabel/collection of labels or whatever the hell you call it.

    Also Interscope's dropping of Freddie Gibbs was terrible as well. The guy has so much talent. Can't understand how Eminem didn't want him there.

    Wouldn't agree with that at all, he's no where near as relevant as he once was that's a cert but to suggest he's not relevant at all is a bit naive.

    He's had several songs from his big 10 mixtape enter the billboard chart, that is something rarely seing from an artist , to have that much momentum with a mixtape with no label backing etc behind it is pretty impressive and not that of an artist who's not relevant. He was on a fair few hits last year too so your wrong in saying that unless you just hate him lol.

    Agree with Conor on interscope but that's just the way this label works, they seem to have no real loyalty towards most of there artists, that's why I feared Lamar going to aftermath but hopefully things will work out for him their !

    I don't know why they do it, but yeah they definitely don't seem to back many artists at once.

    TDE are still around, so they seemed to have learned from others before them.

    I have heard of him, but not his music.

    I can't recommend him enough. He is unlike any other rapper that I've heard in years. He is a gangster rapper from Gary, Indiana. Just up the road from Chicago. He raps with a double time flow. It seems like he's not breathing on some songs. It's the craziest flow I've heard. Just makes every song great.

    Here he is going over a class, '93 Til. The second verse is brilliant.



    Here's one produced by Madlib. It's a teaser for an upcoming album from the two of them. They're going by the name MadGibbs.

    Again Freddie rips it up. The beat is beastly but Gibbs destroys it.



    This is his best song. He doesn't rap fast on this at all but he's still on form. Just a fantastic song with a Just Blaze beat as well.



    He has a few mixtapes out. I'd recommend "The Miseducation of..." and "Midwest...". They're his best. He released them after he got released from Interscope. He has production from some top producers like Just Blaze above.

    These mixtapes got him recognised by XXL and he was on their '10 Freshman List. No mean feat for someone who was going it on their own completely at that stage.

    He's with Young Jeezy's label now. Hopefully that works out for him. He put out a mixtape a while back. It's pretty good. He has that album with Madlib coming out and he has his own album coming out as well and a few others in the pipeline. All of them should be immense.

    Oh and he dropped a few hints last month that he might be taking a few shots at Rick Ross on his next mixtape, which is dropping on the 28th of this month. I can't wait for it. Hopefully he wrecks Ross. He hasn't been his biggest fan for a while now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    +1 on Gibbs

    He is top notch , havnt listened to him since his move to young jeezys label but his older stuff is unreal. Great storyteller , the shady roster was full to the brim at the time but very ignorant behaviour from eminem tbh, Gibbs talent didn't deserve that treatment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    Gangster rapper….double time flow…..jeezy

    But despite these things, I will try to give him a listen.

    Nah Jeezy only came along in the last year or so. All of his material up until then is top notch.

    And he's a proper gangster rapper, not like Rick Ross. He has been there, done everything and gotten out of that lifestyle.

    I reckon you'll like him. If you don't then there's something wrong with you :P.
