watch the throne came out. love it. but the Carter IV has been in heavy rotation in my CD player/ipod, replacing it in a week?.
i dont want to say ones better than the other, but theres a few more weezy songs im lovin than jay/kanye.
still think recovery is one of the best rap albums since chronic 2001. but dont mind me, im a part time listener.

I have been listening to more Hell: The Sequel than either Watch the Throne or The Carter IV.
That said, I agree. Recovery is the best rap album since Chronic 2001. Hands down.

Being as big a Jay-Z and Kanye fan as I am. The album was kinda weak. I do like otis, new day, Illest M*&(^(&*^*& alive, why i love you, gotta have it, Murder To Excellence, and the joy are really the only songs that i liked.
As a caucasian man who grew up in the woods of Bonney Lake WA back when it was woods, and will turn 52 in a week, I would just like to say - What do those words you typed actually mean? It's like a whole different language! Maybe I should just curl up with my vinyl 70s rock albums and listen to them skip until I die...

Good call Throwdown. I have Section.80 and love it. My fav on that CD is Keisha's Song. I also like how he goes off on the end of Rigamortus.

I love it as well, the dude has a certain style that i can't really compare to anyone else. "Ronald Reagan Era" is one of my favorites as well.
I'm also anticipating this J.Cole Album sorta. He's been releases some so-so and whatever stuff lately, but he really came out swinging when he has signed with Roc Nation.
And for my ignorant side, i really like Meek Mill.
I also need to know, does anyone listen to Jay Electronica?

Listened to some music from Jay-z and Kanye, watch the throne that is and didn't like it all. I think Hell:Sequel is much better in terms of lyrics. I was listening to Recovery on the way to work today, love that album. As of Carter IV, I don't listen to Lil wayne, he is just terrible!

pshhhh whatchu know bout some nas? hahaha It Was Written is one ofthe greatest hip hop albums ever IMO
Commons always been dope
Slaughterhouse is cool, i remember i was hyped when they first came out with music
both of those stayed in heavy rotation. Joe Budden & Joell Ortiz were always one of my favorites. Royce was always dope, never really cared much for Crooked I.
Last two you listed arent my type of stuff.
But how about some Bone Thugs-N-Hormony????

Bone Thugs certainly have some great tracks. I saw Slaughterhouse perform live last year at Paid Dues in San Bernardino, CA. They were dope, I love when they perform "Microphone!"

So I kind of just discovered this guy, and I don't know if you guys have heard of him or not. But he just put out a new mixtape and I cannot stop listening to it.
And this is my personal favorite track

You can skip to about 2 minutes in on that one.

Commons new album is already one of my favorite albums in the last 3 years.

I don't know about that...there were quite a few great albums this year in rap...but damn, I am enjoying the crap out of Camp. I love the beat on Heartbreak.
That said, Freaks and Geeks is STILL my favorite song of his, that track is just dope.

J.Coles album is probably in the running for the best. Drakes album was wayyyyyyyyyy too feminine for me (Thank Me Later was better IMO but hits mixtapes were some of Drakes best stuff), the singing and girly songs are cool for like 4 tracks, but if you're a rapper (unless you're LL) shouldn't be doing that haha.
Does anyone here listen to Freddie Gibbs or Big Krit?
Some Gibbs
some Krit

Tech N9ne is hands down the best rapper in the game.
Tech N9ne is hands down the best rapper in the game.

Exactly. He's one of the best rappers as far as skills go, diction and cadence are second to none. Subject matter and the music he makes, however, are definitely for a specific audience.
I recorded him once. Super cool dude, very respectful and professional, but you won't catch me really bumping his sh*t too often. Just can't really get into it.

I love this thread, and im bored so i'll post a few songs that probably have been my favorites for awhile that some might not of ever heard.
The beat on this song IMO is ridiculous, I love production like this. Love the style, Tragedy Khadafi is very very and severly under rated as an MC, even in the underground, Same goes for Cormega.
More from two of the best from Queens Bridge
RIP
The Gemini guy doesn't rap anymore, actually became a Gospel singer. But he has a few mixtapes out, those were all pretty good.

Just kind of decided to give this dude a chance. His names Asap Rocky, I like what I'm hearing though. Downloading his mixtape right now (yes its free its on Datpiff.com)
whoever that Clams Casino guy is, he's got some serious beats, I like his style.

For some reason I just cant get into J. Cole. I keep trying to like but I just cant get into it. I dont hate it I just cant bump it. Tech Nine I just cant stand.
Right now I am hooked on The Roots and I cant figure out why. Not really a big East Coast guy and it is def east coast. The day I put it in I havent stopped. I move to something else it lasts a week and I am right back The Roots.

Prophetic gets some love around this area. I don't like all of his stuff, but will pass along a couple:
Also, I'm sure a lot of you guys have already heard Temptation by Kendrick/J.Cole....still waiting for the actual release.

Man.. The Roots... Top 5 favorite hip hop group of mine, probably 4th behind Mobb Deep, Outkast, and Goodie Mob.
Did anyone know Black Thought actually ran for a political office? i forgot what he ran for, it was some small time district thing I don't know if he won but I always thought that was cool as hell.
Where does everyone go for new music though? I go to FreeOnSmash and TheSermonsDomain (something is very obvious about the dude/dudes who run that site, they're from Seattle) and Areyouinthatmoodyet.

I noticed you were from Wisconsin. Have you heard of this dude named Gerald Walker? hes from Milwaukee.
"scream" was produced by Kuddie Fresh. He used to be part of the CoOP Prouduction team with this cat named Tryfe. Tryfe is definetly one of the coolest dudes i've met in me trying to get my ishbop together doing beats, he really taught me and my partner in crime A LOT, even let us sit in on sessions when the artist was cool with it. Tryfe is doing some cool things too himself

I don't listen to much rap anymore, but if you appreciate lyrical skill then you'd like this group. They're pretty much the only thing new I listen to. Even though I am kind of excited to hear Planet Asia's new CD. Slaughterhouse has artists from different parts of the country but it's amazing that they all complement each other nicely on their songs. Check out "Microphone" if you haven't heard it. I'll try to link them but I've never linked before on here so I'm not sure if it'll work. Also try "Sound Off".

Never heard of Fliboimoe, does he got any mixtapes or EPs? I like those songs you posted.
I saw Luck One's getting some notoriety, he was OnSmash and i never see NW artists on there unless it was J.Pinder or Macklemore.
