The new Lupe is fantastic.

Enjoying these Tiny Desk concerts, only found out about them recently. I never imagined Liquid Swords being played in that environment.

I agree with whoever said Masta Ace was underrated. Take A Look Around, Long Hot Summer and Disposable Arts are all very good albums.

Boom_Bap

Ghostface, Cappadonna, Stylistik Jones and Big Daddy Kane

New Action Bronson, not too much of a departure from what we've heard from him before

Anyone listened to the new Lil Wayne? Actually really like it and I wouldn't usually be a fan.

However that Kendrick verse on Mona Lisa is fantastic.

Boom_Bap

Not yet, not a Wayne fan at all but have the album ready to go, also picked up the Reason album, he's the latest on the TDE roster.

Very good album.

Way better than Kamikaze. Kendrick nearly ruins Mona Lisa horrible voice on it.

1st half of the album is brillant.

Last 30seconds of Mona Lisa are also fantastic.

I started listening to the Lil Wayne album and was impressed. Need to jump into it again.


I'll be interested to hear this Kendrick stuff as well.

I'd be interested as long as someone can confirm he doesn't spend the majority of the album rapping into a vocoder

Not much autotune on it.

Much better than Kamikaze.

I haven't listened to it yet but there's a new Atmosphere album out now.

Heard a couple of songs off it, it's the more mature Slug now, he even says its an album for dads who grew up with hip hop

I was actually listening to Fishing Blues yesterday and it's grown on me alot. I'm not expecting bangers from Mi Vida Local, just solid beats and good stories.

mario54324

Think there's a new Cypress Hill album too. Also haven't listened to it.

mario54324

It's not on Youtube yet but Big Boi did one of those tiny desk concerts.

New Reks & Short Fyuz from the album Order in Chaos, had a listen to the album and its pretty decent.

J Live with an incredible new song.

Orizio

New Mozzy is dope.

Boom_Bap

I've had a browser tab opened for ages with this on it and finally got around to listen to it. It's rather good, not everyone's cup of tea, but certainly up my alley.


Armandhammer - Paraffin.

one of the worst songs I heard this year.

Joyner Lucas has a new track out. Very catchy

Edit* Added track below

Boom_Bap

The beat in that Joyner track is awful.

Been working through the Tiny Desk concerts the last week or so, can't believe I've only come across these so recently. Some really great ones in there, Mac Miller in particular moved me given the content of the songs and how close it was to his death.

T-Pain with a voice much better than I expected given all the auto-tune he used!

Boom_Bap

T-Pain has an amazing natural singing voice. Not a fan of his, but mans can sing.

weemcd

Tiny Desk Concerts are the gift that keeps on giving

Boom_Bap

I'm just watching the Mac Miller one again. Amazing

Harambe

Maybe not strictly hip hop but anyone listen to 6lack's new album East Atlanta Love Letter? It's so good!

What a waste of talent J Cole is, cannot even make a half decent album. All downhill after The Warm Up.

You didn't like KOD?

Didn't listen, stopped after his first 3. Reviews I've read said it's his worst to date.

VW 1

Reviews are someone's opinion, give it a listen and form your own before denouncing it.

You're missing out. In my humble opinion anyway.

KOD is brilliant!

I like Pretty Little Fears, Cole's verse is quality, but it's one of my least favourite songs from the album.

VW 1

He's also excellent on the recently released Bas with Tribe. To say he's on the slide is wrong imo, for me so far this year KOD is up there with Redemption and Daytona for my favourite albums of the year.

Boom_Bap

KOD isn't all that at all. His previous album is much better, the one before that is his best work.


KOD just took the popular sound of the time and made some songs around it, it has no replay value and people in years to come will be asking why it was such a success.


Not saying it's terrible, just bang average.


Not a fan of 6lack either, tried listening to the new album and couldn't get into it...although that song with Cole is great.

VW 1

It's funny that you feel he was just using a popular sound to make a listenable record, and in the 1985 diss he was slagging off young rappers for being popular off riding trends as opposed to being talented!

I'm always looking for something new to listen to, in terms of your fave album of the year so far, what would be some of your nominations in case there's stuff i've missed?

Boom_Bap

Marlowe. By far the album of the year.
Jay Rock
I'm getting into the new Reason album as well, sounds great.


They are the 3 that spring to mind. The bits from the new Mick Jenkins album I've heard sound great.

Boom_Bap

I've just read back through the thread and seen that I gave KOD a glowing review when it was released. Time changes everything.
