you know, the whole neg rep thing wasn't such a big deal to me. I don't really log in much anymore. just kinda relating to Suchfriends problems in some weird way in the comething irrelevant thread. didn't think I was being a smart ass. just maybe some of this hip hop is not for you. it's not all for me either. bygone. now, do you know any good tuna salad recipes? |
Quote:
ha ha ha ha yes. with red wine vinegar + olive oil add some cold white beans or lentils to it. you could do some green beans too in a pinch (no soaking) slice of tomato on the side. boiled potato on the side. some nice lettuce leaf. dammit i just remembered i have lettuce & tuna. was wondering what to eat for dinner. yeah, food is one of my things-- hiphop not so much ha ha thanks for clarifying |
hey, preciate it. it's what's for lunch for me tomorrow. just don't like making a sandwich in the morning. takes too long and if you make it the night before, it gets all soggy.
thanks. |
Quote:
yeah boil the potatos & steam the green beans the night before. all this tastes better cold anyway. ps- hardboiled egg too. |
gots to have those eggs no doubt. btw, I love cut up grapes in my chicken salad. maybe in the future try that in the tuna too.
just got back from the grocery store. got to have some dill relish. you know. it'll do what I can with what you gave me. summertime means cruising the local farmers market. fun stuff. ha. this thread just took a detour. back on track now. |
no grapes in the tuna! try olives instead.
no mayo/no relish, but fresh dill would work. you don't wanna make a chopped up gringo paste/mush for this. what i'm saying is some sort of salade nicoise. ![]() that one has anchovies too. not sure if you ike them (i do) ![]() this is with white bean which is italian ![]() but works great with garbanzo too (in this case no potato--you have starch in bean) just pare down to the basic notion + rebuild at will. vivan los mongrels. |
That looks amazing
|
ok, those pics just made me understand. was a little confused. when you mean salad you really mean salad!!!
gotcha bro!!! the only tuna salad I'm use to is mayo and relish. salt and pepper. yes, it's looks goods. |

indeed. and with a cold bone-dry rosé your day is made summer food rules Quote:
yep, that's the american tartar sauce-- goes with the deeply fried and yeah you didn't want a sammich so there's your alt-tunas. ps notice the bean version has chopped red onion. you can also use shallot. w/ the bean one you can work all day without fatigue. experiment & see what works. === WHO IS GONNA RAP ABOUT THIS? (cibo matto, probably) |
|
love you guys. peace im tired.
|
Yeah mane summer food is my favorite food.
|

You talking about Summertime '06? I haven't heard it. |
But yo!! Why hasn't there been any mention of Young Fathers in this thread?
I know it is/was a bit trendy, and I also know that it's not your average meat and potatoes hip-hop (kinda like Shabazz Palaces, only Young Fathers' "@2ends with every month that passes this album extends its dusty roots further into my brain stem. It's as hip-hop as Kanye's "Amazing", and seems to borrow just as much from slave work songs and bellowed African dirges. I guess I'm just wondering how it is that so deep into the year, this record has still failed to make an impression on the café. So... YOUNG FATHERS - WHITE MEN ARE BLACK MEN TOO! Totally worth your time! Check it now! Cheers! |
I should check it. "Amazing" is prob my fav Kanye song ever.
|
good. it is alive!!! I thought me and I !@#$%! on the first date killed this thread. glad to know it's not dead.
I thought I worshiped satan inherently, unbeknowns to me. somehow clueless to the impacts. killing everything in sight. |
Quote:
Well, I may have been reaching with that statement. I just know that one of the things I love about "Amazing" is the worksong vibe. The phrasing of the verses, the vocal effects giving it sort of a dusty, traditional feel.. The sparse instrumentation and those fucking drum sound!!! Not to mention Young Jeezy's heave-ho grunts and shouts during the chorus. It's like it's timed to the rhythm of pick axes rising and being driven down into stones in unison. Young Fathers use a similar "slave song" dynamics, but the overall sound is more driving and urgent. Again, there's a sort of post-punk energy mixed in with the elements of soul and hip-hop and Blues. It's a really intense album, the overall effect is fresh and powerful. Right now I'm considering it one of the better albums of the year. I definitely think you should check it out. |
Ps: "Amazing" was my favorite Kanye song for a long time too. Now it's probably "Runaway", but "Amazing" is still probably at least in the top 10.
... Dammit, now I'm trying to think of how the rest of the list would look. This will probably eat up the rest of my day. Geez, thanks a lot fot that ;) |
Did you guys realize Lupe was already gearing up to drop another album and/or official mixtape / mixtape series?
THE FADER: Lupe Fiasco Teases Mysterious New Pharoah Height 2/30 Project ... Whaaaaaa? It seems that Tetsuo & Youth has had a positive and at least somewhat long-lasting effect on Lupe's reputation and marketability, despite the *hummibgbird* attention spans of modern hip-hop audiences. I'm glad. I'd more or less written him off myself but now I'm comfortable with the fact that (F&L II and Lasers aside) he's released 3 excellent albums. Tetsuo & Youth had a major impact on me. |
After recent singles, new Weeknd album is one of my most anticipated this year.
|
ok i really love that new Miguel.
Meek Mill's new album is (surprisingly?) good too. my top 5 of the year looking like this right now: Miguel Kendrick Vince Earl Meek (with Drake/Rocky/Future/etc being really close to make the cut.) not sure about the order yet. |
fucking Genteel neg repped me for this post, haha. what a loser.
|
I miss when rappers had cool names.

I don't know if I miss anything really. hip hop was goofy before. kinda. I miss that because im still goofy. I can only show out at work and with close friends instead of a group. watch those Beastie Boys vids like What'cha Want. now I know where I got my inspiration to dance. you got Odd Future now, but that's like dark "kill a bitch" violent goofy..... not for me. im getting old.:) amen. |
Meh..goofy hip hop wasn't really that good and the beats sucked.
|
goofy hip hop was not a genre. I was just stating. it was kinda goofy in the past. to let loose and all. now you have to have a smart phone and......
whatever. whatever, drop it. forget it. this thread is not for me. post on.:( |
Beastie Boys ruled
|
yes!!! you know them. and just that time era. I thought I made myself clear/vague? I love the goofy attitude. been listening to them lately.:)
I need no woman just headphones and whatever they'll have in 2040. I had all the pussy and blowjobs I need though beauty and sexiness will strike me here and there but nothing a simple jack will take care of. |
I go thru patches where i just listen to beasties for days.

I think you just have a broader palette than I do, and a less rigorous sense of loyalty to music. It used to baffle me how your lists would change so drastically, but now I'm wondering if it's not my own stubbornness that's the problem. I still say At.Long.Last.A$AP To Pimp a Butterfly Tetsuo & Youth If You're Reading This It's Too Late And B4.DA.$$ are the big notables of the year, with Pilot Talk III, the new Raekwon (which, like, nobody fucking noticed), Mr. Wonderful and Sour Soul filling out the rest of the starting line up. But recently my whole year has been flipped by an increased, faunung love for White Men are Black Men Too by Young Fathers. That album, even though it doesn't feel entirely like "rap" reminds me of Shabazz Palaces and their equally progressive and tweaked version of hip-hop, only I think I like Young Fathers MUCH more than I like SP's at present. Really though, that's just my in-genre list. The big albums for me have been, once again, electronic, breakbeat and footwork, noise and ambient-related. Jim O'Rourke, Hudson Mohawke, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Andřya, Thee Oh-Sees, Jlin, Prefuse 73. But I'm still waiting for the real shit to drop. ALLA, Tetsup & TPAB are the real hip hop dominators in my opinion. |
At.Long.Last.A$AP is def my favorite of the year so far.
MY TOP TIER HIP HOP ALBUMS THIS YEAR SO FAR: Mr. Wonderful Welcome To Los Santos If You're Reading This B4DA$$ MY OTHER HIP HOP ALBUMS THAT I LIKE A LOT BUT NOT QUITE LOVE: Sour Soul Blade Of The Ronin I don't Like Shit (you are not mistaken... I did not forget to include TPAB... I like it. But I have a feeling it won't make it to a year-end Top 10 for me.) |
Wait, scrap that... B4.DA.$$ and If You're Reading This... (which basically made me do yet another full 180° on Drake. I'm back to bangin' NWTS and Thank me Later and even Take Care, all because of the freshness of this "mixtape" (fuck it, it's an album).
B4.DA.$$ is an album I constantly forget about, but there's no damn reason for it. It's an immensely successful underground->pop crossover for Joey B. His "Long.Live.A$Ap", if you will. It's totally solid and probably only fades from memory temporarily because it's such a fundamentally classic East Coast boom-bap record. It doesn't scale conceptual mountains or gestate in a womb of orchestral jazz Impressionism like Tetsuo. It doesn't swagger into a saloon wearing Spurs and six-guns, daring on-lookers to say somethin' stupid like ALLA. And of course it doesn't turn the rap album into a thousand page Bohemian novel about holidays in Perdition, social reform and reincarnation, like To Pimp A Butterfly. It just more or less kills it. Joey Bada$$ is gimmick-less, much like his Flatbush familiars The Underachievers (who, as y'all know, I have a bit of a thingfor), and the album achieves something a perfect cosmic middle ground between Talib Kweli's conscious heroic "good guy" emcee and the fury of early Wu-Tang Clan, while still further establishing Joey's unique identity. I feel bad for not mentioning it more, but please believe, I have been listening to B4.DA.$$ regularly all year long, my regard for the album growing all the time. |
Cherry Bomb and I Don't Like Shit are both good. I know I was slow to feel the new Earl, but that's mostly because I have personal issues with the way these two conduct themselves, both in virginal boyhood and in their newfound "maturity".
When Earl insults his fans for being upset that OF broke up (male virgins who want to dress like Easter baskets forever, is, I believe, how he put it), I can hear the self-assured, wet-eared pseudo-wisdom of someone who just wants to publicly announce the popping of his own cherry without actually holding up a sign. Tyler has been better about it. He has actually conversed with fans, and tried to explain the fact that he's growing up, and changing as a person, to a bunch of children of the Internet age, who get their identity from their "Fandom". But either way, if you give a shit about the people that made you as unfathomably lucky as you have been, you will not insult them and tell them to "go talk to some girls, seriously" (says the bording school brat who's not old enough to understand the true nature of vice). Fuck you, brat. Your album's good though. |
Cherry Bomb is interesting. But not great. I like it. Don't love it.
If You're Reading this IS an album. I don't really get it when dudes call their shit a mixtape, but it's all original beats and written songs. TO me a mixtape is y'konw, freestyle over other peoples' tracks. This was a retail release of new material. In full length format. That's called "an album," Drake. |

oh and i don't like Cherry Bomb at all. "Smuckers" is a great song though.
please listen to the Meek album, friends. it's really solid, easily better than his first one. |

I get that - but even if it is outtakes, it's still a bunch of new original songs that our ears never heard. I mean, I Am Not A Human Being is an album. Not a mixtape. But it's really just leftover tracks from other projects. But it's an album. I don't know why I care so much about what we call it. Pet peeve I guess haha. |
