JJ DOOM Album "Key To The Kuffs" can now be streamed.

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.20320/title.jj-doom-key-to-the-kuffs-album-stream/

Was really looking forward to this as Jneiro Jarel is one of my favourites and DOOM is a legend but I'm disappointed. JJ was great as expected but DOOM sounds lazy, depressed and not like what I've come to expect from him. Still, his die hard fans may feel this more than me. Honestly two disappointing projects from MF DOOM this year. MA DOOM had old beats which are great but there should have been new ones for Masta Ace of all people and now this..

New Apathy joint featuring Bishop Lamont. Off his upcoming Bootleg album

mufcboy1999

hate busta's new stuff with a passion, not even bothered with it until he see's sense and gets off that pop label.

not liking this one....slaughterhouse ft eminem "throw that"

new Slaughterhouse/Eminem song is sh1t
Slaughterhouse's singles apart from Goodbye have been pretty bad

Boom_Bap

The one thing that really annoys me about Busta's new stuff is how the vocals sound. They are not mixed with the track at all, the beat and vocals are clearly 2 seperate entities. There is a layer of silence between them. I'm guessing it was done to make Busta's vocals clearer, but it sounds dodgy to me.

The SlaughterHouse/Eminem song is rubbish. The line about turning the chair upside-down is uber-cheese. The 8-Bit sounds are pretty bad as well when mixed with the 'modern' drums. And the concept as a whole is garbage. How many stripper/strip club songs do we really need?

Jigga

The Slaughterhouse album is going to be terrible but at least the mixtape they released other day was dope.

Here's something that is quite exciting; Sene and ScienZe teaming up as Stoop Kids. This is apparently the first single from thier album due out later this year.

Produced by EOM who handles a lot of Wax's production.

1st single from games new album featuring just about everybody, horrible song.

mufcboy1999

DJ green lanterns 1st single from his mixtape "invade the game". I like the beat and flow a lot, very laid back but decent comes alive around the 2.40 mark.

lloyd banks "my block"

I downloaded that DJ Green Lantern mixtape and was absolutely stunned at how annoying every single track was. Any one that had potential was ruined by out of place scratching or, in my opinion the most annoying trend amongst radio DJ's in hip-hop, playing the start of the track, then re-starting it over and over. I'd like to listen to the track, not the first 15 seconds 5 times in a row.

Boom_Bap

New song and hilarious video from Add 2.

Animal beat, I'm liking the sound of that track, signature Xzibit stuff if you ask me.

No Cardinal Richelieu reference, otherwise liking it.

18TH September can't come quick enough for me.

Great song and video. Jake One is a beast. I'm sure my face was a picture when I heard this beat live, I had the gas face for sure!

floggg

Liking the prospect of the Ghost/Pharoah/MOP song.

No Mercy meets Tony Starks can only be a good thing.

I'm not as excited about this as I should be. I think that Brother Ali is getting a bit too preachy, or maybe that I think that I'd like to hear more of him doing more 'Shadows' style songs.

I think him and Jake One sound great together, but he needs to make his subject a little lighter.

Sounds like complete shít so far. Real pity, I'm a massive fan of X's earlier stuff. X needs to be told he's not allowed sing on hooks, it's fúckin disgraceful, he can rap well on them but him and singing just dont mix. No longer looking forward to this abomination of an album.

Maybe the "Dreaming In Colour" part of the title means there will be a bit lighter material included.

+1... after hearing the mixtape a few months back, i can honestly say i expected the worst even then. Yes it was only a mixtape but imo the tell tale signs were there. Not liking the sound of this either :mad:

No no no no, you're doing it wrong, I made the same mistake initially. You, like I did, are taking 2 Chainz seriously, listening for consistency in his lyrics/flow, expecting him to make a point and sound like he belongs on a track. Aren't you?

What you need to do is stop doing all of those things. Treat 2 Chainz as a parody of himself, take his music and expect it to be absolute garbage but funny, don't listen to what he is saying. Then, you will find his music kind of funny and is the ONLY WAY you can tolerate him.

It's amusing after a while. You find when you are locked and a 2 Chainz song comes on it's very easy to remember the lyrics, as only a drunk person could have written them. It's also bonus fun to randomly shout "2 CHAINNZZZZZ!" and "TRU!" when his songs are playing/anytime during the day.

Picture a room full of drunk white people dancing and shouting "All ah want fo ma birthdayyyy is a big booty hoe!". That's 2 Chainz.

Another funny example of 2 Chainz's terribleness is his ad-libbing, it's so bad it makes me laugh every time. Eg. at 0:43 in the video above "I'm in the kitchen (IN DA KITCHEN!), Yams every where (YAMS!)" That's just so bad it can't be taken seriously. YAMS!

Does he actually sell though? I thought the only person making decent sales out of that lot were wayne and drake, and that's because (allegedly) birdman buys their records.

Yes, he sells and is signed to Def jam so he continually gets paid. He is getting paid more than 1000's of better rappers.

mufcboy1999

he wouldnt be doing major numbers though, he might of had a succesful single or two but when his debut album comes out he'll shift no more than 100 - 130k, tbh maybe even less.

I dont know what kanye see's in him tbh, maybe he wanted a gangsta like rapper to have on the label encase the other gangsta's from young money run on up on him. lil wayne would do a lot of damage with that skateboard and drake well we all know how tough he is

conor.hogan.2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Chainz_discography

195,000 debut album, that will rise next time. He does not deserve those numbers but people paying him attention whether it is to laugh or not inflates his buzz and gets him those numbers.

didnt even know he released it or had albums previous to it. I know wiki says 190k but i think it was more near the 140k mark from the links iv been reading but none the less pretty impressive numbers these days.

Zero-Cool

I first heard 2 Chainz on the Hip Hop cipher and thought he was class, even made Busta laugh so I went looking for his other songs on youtube and could only find garbage.

Have to give that DMX snippet vid a proper listen later. A couple of the songs sound okay, some sound awful. Will wait and see.

That Madchild tune is claaaaass. gonna look him up.

Rittz has signed to Strange Music, can't wait to hear what he comes out with. Pity Yelawolf didn't sign with them as well. I heard he is pissed off about Radioactive and promises his next album will be completely different. Eminem wrecked Radioactive imo.

I'd say Rittz will def be on Worlwide Choopers 2

That's the thing though. There always was and always will be terrible music having success.

Only the good and the great are remembered. Which is why people look back on time-periods in music fondly and damn the music of today. Never ending cycle.

He has no talent though, so the majority of his sales are from people falsely hyping him whether it is to laugh at him or not.

Second point is unrelated, but I agree 100%.

I've no doubt there are people who would argue about his talent, and think he is a good rapper, sure half the feckin' rappers in the game at the moment want him on their songs! I'm just not one of them, I merely suggested a way to make him tolerable. I have never bought any of his material and to be honest I don't plan on doing so in the future.

But I can't help that feel my birthday back in May would have been vastly improved by the presence of a big booty hoe.

floggg

I'm sure I'll be shot for this but I really liked his verse on Mercy. His appearances on Big Krit's and Currensy's albums were decent as well.

Nothing good however can be said for his solo stuff. The birthday song video is one of the most depressing things I've ever seen.
