Quality album.:cool:
Oddisee--People Hear What They See

http://mellomusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/people-hear-what-they-see

This album is excellent, I had high expectations for this as I think that Oddisee is an outstanding producer.

It's surpassed my expectations as the production is exquisite, and the rapping is also really excellent for a guy who is primarily a beat maker.

......and that is all after one listen.

I will be listening to this a few more times.....but my instinct tells me this could be my album of the year.

FTR. I am a Lil Wayne fan but only pre-Nov 09. The last quality piece of work he put out was the No Ceilings mixtape. Since then only the very occasional track gets in my playlist.
"Right above it" feat Drake it for example

hold up now, you criticised modern hip hop in general and said the majority of it is bad, but you're saying lil wayne is good. he's probably as bad as modern hip hop gets to be honest.

Joey Bada$$ - 1999 -> http://bit.ly/OlXuNM



This mixtape was released yesterday and is pretty darn tooting good.

It's been a busy day of new music for me today. 3 albums i've been waiting on become available. This is the 3rd one, B.Dolan Hose of Bees Vol II

Excellent album/mixtape. It's been a good day.

I havent a clue who these lads are but they're using my favourite Pete Rock instrumental and the hook is fairly good. The rapping is decent, one of the lads sounds slightly like drake, but has a deeper voice. I'm gonna do a bit of reading up on this lot to see where they're from.

Blu and Exile are releasing an EP next month. Then in September they're putting out their album. There was a stream released at Christmas but it hadn't been mastered. This time it'll have more features and other songs.

50 announced his new album is to be called F.I.V.E (murder with numbers) says its coming with or without label support on july 3rd.

bit strange, doesnt even have a single out or anything.

50 Cent has revealed the title of his oft-delayed fifth album.

During an interview with Hot 107.9 Philly (via HHNM), the G-Unit general revealed that the title of his LP will be Five (Murder by Numbers). "@50cent has a new album dropping July 3rd called Five (Murder by Numbers). Make sure you go and get that," tweeted the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania radio station.

Last month, Fif said he was going to release the project on July 3rd with or without his label's support. "There’s a lot more business involved [in putting out an album] than the general public is aware of. And that part causes the actual delay with [Interscope]. I’m releasing my album July 3rd, whether is has commercial promotions or not,” he said. “My birthday is July 6 and I planned for it. And I’m doing everything that I planned to do regardless if its huge airplay or not. I could care less, I’m putting the record out.”

not really liking that new nas track and its nothing to do with the ross ft, still cant wait for the album though.

nice track released today, this must be the one wiz reached out to 50 for on twitter a few weeks back. loving the flow and beat they both go hand in hand very well.

wiz ft 50.

What did you think? I thoiught it was OK, but it's bad news when the highlight of your album is Kendrick Lemar. same goes for the AB Soul record.

I need to listen to them more, but they jumped down the pecking order when I got Joey Bada$$, B.Dolan and Oddisee's new albums.

Mr Mutha****in eXquire is dropping his first label EP in September called Power and Passion EP.
This will be awesome.

Started off promising but the quantity outweighed the quality. Is it bad? no. Is it great? no. It's forgettable.

Nas picked Azealia, asap, meek millz, drake and weezy? Odd, reverse of DMX then.

What's odd is that all of those artists have recently released better mixtapes/albums than X's 'Weigh In' mixtape.

conor.hogan.2

I did not compare them to DMX, DMX just said recently he would not work with some of them whereas Nas would.

Congratulations to them on being able to release better material than someone just out of jail (and has several other issues) though. Also weigh in was better than California Republic if we want to compare rappers releases for no reason.

How is that bad news? Kendrick Lamar is by far the best MC out there right now, he is the highlight of any album.

The weigh in mixtape was shockingly bad, but no matter how bad that piece of music was Azealia, asap, meek millz, drake and weezy do not compare to X. Especially drake. He's the complete opposite of X in every way.

Nas said the same thing to Rapup.com. He really wants to Work with Azelia Banks and Meek Millz. Banks could even be a co sign to Nas. Millz is already signed with Rick Ross at MMG so Nas is talking about a feature or doing a track together

What's all this about? What does Game have to do with any of this? You trying to get a rise or something?

Nas mentioned all of these artists that DMX said he wouldn't work with. I just thought it was ironic, that's all. X was just being a mouth anyway. He used to be good but now he's just a washed up muppet, hasn't released a decent track in years.

conor.hogan.2

You compared them to DMX, I compared back along with Game who had an equally crap last mixtape.

Great song again from Gibbs and Madlib. The only thing that I don't like about their EPs is that Gibbs appears on about 2 of the tracks and the rest is mainly Madlib's beats. Nothing wrong with that at all but I'd love to hear Freddie rapping over them. Probably only teasing us for their album. The sooner that gets released the better.

I reckon that there will be some production from el producto on the EP, and probably a verse. I also think they bring out the best in each other.

Can I also remind people that this is the thread for releases this year, not comparing artists or mix tapes from the past.

mufcboy1999

banger from gibbs, bj the chicago kid is one to watch out for, collabs with black hippy a lot, he's on section 80 too.

here's a new one from a fella called dom kennedy ft lamar... does anyone recognize the sample in this song? the piano keys in the backround... sounds so familiar !!

Jimmy Iovine

Freddie Gibbs has reached out to Nas and Jigga on Twitter. He's looking for a collab for his project with Madlib. I've been looking forward to this album for months now but if either of them get on it, especially Jay, it could be brilliant. Everything he touches turns gold in a commercial sense these days. Could be the break-through that Freddie needs and deserves.

Freddie Gibbs ‏@FreddieGibbs
I got a song for @Nas ready to go if he wanna **** wit it.

Freddie Gibbs ‏@FreddieGibbs
I wonder if @S_C_ will shoot me a verse for this Madlib ****.

i have a feeling the new english Smiley will make it big in the future. Check out his songs.

mufcboy1999

this song really has me buzzin for the new album, great song from his last mixtape the lost tapes. I think 50 is using his mixtapes for promo like he did before grodt, he really must be because the album is 2 weeks away and he still doesnt have a single.

watch the henchmen trial see a rat, rat on a rat.

I havent realy listened to Words for a long time, I thought that he really went off the boil following such strong initial appearances with Punchline.

Yeah I can feel you on that but I love Words...seriously I play the ish outta Mirror Music...Joy & Pain is from the new album....it's pretty good. Nice to see someone up on Words tho...

I think that I gave Mirror Music a spin a few years back but didnt really grab my attention. I'll try to check out the new one.
