2012 was his peak, Back From The Dead is seriously one of my fav tapes from the last few years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLo-Lw6idVU even Keef himself admitted his 2013 material was terrible ("My last two mixtapes were mistakes," Keef confessed. "I was on promethazine, all drugged out. I was tweaking. I don't sip the lean no more though"). 2014 has been hit or miss so far. he's really weird now and sometimes it actually works for him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFTI7VOz-gI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o2TZrGkfZA |

new 50 Cent album is pretty meh. I kind of liked "Don't Worry About It" and a couple others. But a lot of auto-pilot sameness.

Shit, this is just plain the real motherfuckin deal right here.
![]() I"m not gonna lie; I started bumping this because the cover caught my attention when it first came out. I played it and liked it but didn't listen hard enough to notice how excellent a song Young O.G. is. Album qualty... single quality, even. It's just got such a great flow. Are the other soul tapes any good? WHERE THE MOTHERFUCKING SHIT IS THA CARTER V?!??! UHN! |

Bros, I fuckin know!! ![]() Shit is real. I think it might be (Gasp) the best hip hop album of the year, next to Freddie And Madlib, maybe... And that Fabulous Fabolous Soul Tape III. But this album has totally caught me off guard. I bought it on a whim. On a "fuck it I want something material because I'm depressed and empty" and it's got my brain feeling addicted already. Wait wait... SORRY but Talib Kweli's Gravitas is still the best of the year, and nobody's touched his ass. His totally unpublicized free beginning of the year album still holds up. but IGGY is a star. --- Apart from the names mentioned above, I'm FUCKING PISSED at this year's hip hop output. What the hell? Even the good albums turn out to be disappointments. Shit, I was so hungry for hip hop that I praised Oxymoron, which is a marginally acceptable effort at best. WHERE'S YEEZY? Where's Weezy? And Where's the mother fuckin Wu Tang Clan?? Shit on it! |
Sev im so glad you got that too. I know it sounds crazy but so far i kind of feel like it pron is the best hip hop album of the year. So so good.
|
"Rolex" is my shiz on there.
|
also the Rick Ross has grown on me big time. Genius album. I love all the old 90's hip hop throwback shit in there. "Thug Cry" is beyond brilliant.

I don't know. Ross left me a little cold this time around, and I haven't really given him another go. I like the album but more for the collabs than anything. Seriously that "Maybach music" sample needs to go die in a fire. I am so sick of it. I don't know if IGGY is THE best, but she's crazily, surprisingly good. And kinda hot but also not, in that Nikki Minaj big thighs and cheekbones kind of way. Both artists make me feel like I'm trying not to be attracted to their voices, and gangs always a losing battle. On one hand I wish IGGY had gone harder on the production for more of the tracks, but I'm really not at all disappointed that it sounds exactly like it does. She's got an attitude on her too - check the Xxl freshman class interview - hah! And I don't hear that "trying to sound like I'm not trying to sound black" thing from her. I get that from almost all white rappers, and I can't get past it. At least admit you're trying, or you're just being insulting and not paying due credit to your influences. Sigh. I'm seeing propaganda for Carter V, and some whack updates about the new Kanye, but I'm still feeling ripped off. "Believe Me" is more Drake than Wayne, and to be perfectly fucking honest I am tired of that guy! He's not great, looks and dresses goofy, isn't clever, and has one of those heads you just want to huck a spit wad at. Seriously, he is not (NOT NOT NOT) great enough to be this big, or to think so highly of himself. Everything he does, someone's done before. The dreampop r&b on his last album? Uhhh Prince, Kanye, Frank Ocean... Everything else he's done? Uhhh... Jay Z, Kanye, Kanye, Jay Z. We need to get real about Drake. The world needs to get real about Drake and Drake needs to fucking get real about Drake. He's there for lull between albums by Yeezy, Weezy, Jigga, and the like. He is not one of them, he is a stand in. And a lint roller. And ridiculous. And corny. And, again, not clever. I like some songs and even whole albums but there's nothing with staying power. Nothing I'll be listening to 10 years from now, as I do with ever Jay Z album from the first run. Makes it hard to like Canada, really. And I do! You can waltz into any drug store and buy narcotics, and they're not dumbasses about guns even though they use them like crazy because half the place is still hanging in the 19th century. Single layer universal health care and weed and all kinds of ok things. But his faces makes me punch air! |
I like drake a lot, but i feel we are getting to a saturation point w his material. A break would do some good.
Iggy is way better than Nikki. |

yo, is this a new secret Nas project? sounds just like him but with some weird vocal effect. personally i don't think it's Nas, probably just a new rapper who impersonates him very well. biggest mystery since Captain Murphy..? hehe. i guess we're gonna find out soon though. |
^I don't think so.

after a few listens, i can also tell his flow is way too monotonous and some of his bars are generic. i hope it's not him. |
speaking of Nas, here's a new verse from him, off Mariah Carey's new album:
http://www.1200squad.com/2014/05/20/...icated-ft-nas/ Nah, we don't wish today’s game was old again We just wish it wasn't full of Draconian, Babylonian, phony men FOH my summation fascinates, we have debates Who's the greatest living or passed away I ask MC, see what she has to say Eric B or Master P, some see it differently '87 meant to me? I try to describe it, you try to relive it I try to revive it hoping that you get it, yeah Something about La Di Da Di got inside our bodies Something about My Adidas coming out the speakers Used to do doo-wop or the Pee-Wee Herman Rest in peace Heavy D, Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon Let's go gave me chills. :) |
