    Oxymoron, could easily be better than GKMC if the released songs (some of which aren't even on the album) and his recent features are anything to go by..

    Curren$y ft. Action Bronson – God Father 4. This is dope, it will be featured on Curren$y 's mixtape "The Drive In Theatre", which is due to drop soon. I think Bronson edged him on this track.

    a few new bits and bobs. Mello Music Group have released 2 compilations, Mandela Vol I & II.

    New Yella continuing the Box Chevy series on Love Story. Hopefully Eminem as absolutely nothing to do with the this album, unlike Radioactive.

    Pretty much turned into a cudi fan overnight in the lead up to his last album largely down to spotify.

    Just so easy to go through artists previous work and listen to it without the hassle of downloading or searching for videos on YouTube.

    On yelawolf I saw something last week about him getting in trouble over the old redneck flag or something like that. He's another artist that's just fell of the radar entirely , never lived up to the hype.

    Radioactive was just crap. I read how he wanted to do certain things and Eminem persuaded him to not to and Yela wasn't happy about it. Wish he would have signed with Strange Music like Rittz did.

    Rookie move, you need to listen to the Breathtaking Trip EP first, then the LP.
    This is not a bad thing :)

    Radio rip of a new MadGibbs track featuring Earl & Domo. This album is going to be something special.

    Sound quality is terrible, and the punch ins are quite annoying.
    Did I hear Gibbs singing?? :eek:

    Really looking forward to this album, I hope that some or all of what has been released up until today will not ba on the album, so we get an albumsworth of freshness.

    High (feat. Danny Brown)
    Broken (feat. Scarface)
    Robes (feat. Earl Sweatshirt & Domo Genesis)
    Real

    Those are the confirmed tracks for the album so far afaik. They've done stuff with Mac Miller, Ab Soul, Raekwon, Joey Badass & a bunch of others as well though. I'm just hoping it doesn't end up being too feature heavy!

    It's being released on March 18th.

    I found a link and it says this on it. It's by some guy called Ronnie Reese.
    The perfection is apparent on the album, where Gibbs shifts from textbook lessons in robbing and drugging on tracks like "Scarface" and "Knicks," to perhaps the album's most personal song, "Broken," a collaboration with Scarface, who, along with Tupac, DMX and 50 Cent, make up the rapper's own Mount Rushmore of MCs ("You're getting a hurricane of all those mother****ers hitting you at once when you listen to Freddie Gibbs," he says). "Deeper," a Gibbs favorite and the third single from the album after "Thuggin'" (2012) and "Shame," (2013) is an ode to hip-hop in the mold of Common's "I Used to Love H.E.R."; "High," featuring Danny Brown, is self-explanatory and just what you would expect from Gibbs, Madlib and one of Detroit's finest; while on "Real," Gibbs addresses an old score just as Michael Corleone settled all family business on baptism day.

    It's tracks like "Real" that makes fans believe Gibbs' claim that "I'm about to show niggas how to rap again." And he's just as loyal. "As long as I keep satisfying them," he says, "everybody else is going to fall in line.

    There's rumours going about that Puffy is going to pull the plug on Bad Boy and is winding down by moving staff to other ventures, tho a rep has came out and downplayed the rumours.

    Definitely a historic label with classics under it's banner and arguably one of the best ever artists of all time.


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


    The labels really struggled though in years gone by. tbh a lot of successful labels have as well probably IMO due to the decline in sales and the fusion of hip hop and pop hence jay z being so successful with roc - nation with the likes of rhianna etc.

    Long gone are the days you'd a hear a track like whoa from black rob dominating the airwaves as if it was a smash pop hit.

    Like whoa, that has to be one of the finest tracks to come out of bad boy !!.

    I still haven't checked out the first Dag Savage album yet.....but I'm currently listening to a stream of the new one called E&J.

    http://www.2dopeboyz.com/2014/02/03/dag-savage-ej-album-stream/

    This is excellent, those pinning for the sameish sounding record to Blu & Exile's 'Below The Heavens' should take a listen. Although not so much laid backness as Blu brings to the table.

    Game would have been better. He's younger, faster, stronger.
    But DMX should win as well. He's 13 years older than Zimmerman at 43.
    DMX needs to make sure he is prepared, Just in case. Losing is not an option.

    Fact, if it was a street fight you'd fancy DMX all day, but Zimmerman looks a bit beefy, if he catches DMX with a sweet punch it could be lights out!

    But yeh losing is not an option, personally I'd send in Ghost and Meth for the double team!

    Hope DMX does some proper training, I'm sure there will be no shortage of professional fighters offering to help him train.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    DMX is a bit too cracked out these days for this to be a fair fight. Last time I seen a picture of him he looked like Tyrone Biggums. Zimmerman will go 2-0 I reckon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,048 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly




  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 88 ✭✭AG918


    I think Game would have been a safe bet but hopefully DMX has what it takes to win.

    Is there a date set?

    Ah, the old fashioned tale of turning a murderer into a celebrity and people going along for the ride.

    In other proper news, Grieves has just announced a new album dropping on 25th March on Rhymesayers (sanz Budo). Album is called 'Winter And The Wolves'.
    And here is a jam from it -> https://soundcloud.com/rhymesayers/grieves-shreds

    its a joke ,
    this fccker is amurderer , and now getting celeb status ,

    if the shoe had have been on the other foot and zimmermann was killed , would the killer get celeb status ...HELL NO.

    and the fact DMX or Game or whoever it is shows nothing but despriation for money on their behave....no morals.

    Rant over.

    DMX of old without a doubt yes !, have ye seen cradle to the grave :D. Sad situation though but id expect nothing less , its America after all. Never the less they should of went with a rapper who has boxed before imo, like previously said zimmerman has a weight advantage over X, one proper connection and its lights out.

    Its only 3 rounds too but I can actually see X breaking the rules if zimmerman is getting the better of him like said he would and the fight being stopped.

    DMX is in danger of underestimating Zimmerman. Zimmerman won't be that bad, He's been training.

    Thank goodness for these posts. I though I had wandered into the "Everything else..." thread for a while.

    I like that mix. Great to hear some Gibbs in there too.

    I listen to Radio 1 a lot when driving. Mainly the breakfast show and the show at 5. What time is that guy on at do you know? Is it hip hop heavy or just a once off?

    Mayne. I can't wait.

    I have high hopes for Robes. Loved his other song with Domo. It's dope.

    I know others will be disappointed to see 'old' songs on there, but I think all three of them are so strong that they had to be on it. Thuggin' is close to a classic in my opinion. It's brutal.

    I know that the Domo song is out already but I want to wait to hear it as part of the whole album. The last time I tried this was with Ghostface last year and that was a shambles. I hope this doesn't go tits up like that did.

    Anyone know anywhere reliable that I could buy it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Have we a release date on that MadGibbs release?

    I've been doing homework on Gibbs lately and am becoming a big fan.
