Aferni 2381 Posted January 25, 2017 #FREEX XXXTENTACION is a Florida rapper from broward county just like other Underground rappers like, Denzel Curry , $ki Mask The Slump God, Yung Simmie ect. While he's crazy and his lyrics aren't for the easily offended, he's really lyrical along with his sort of rap-partner $ki. They're both amazing and when X gets out of jail I can see him and Ski rising to popularity quickly seeing as how X's face is just about everywhere now. Most people discover X nowadays through his song "Look At Me". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted January 27, 2017 I hate to be kind of hit and run band posting here, but this is kind of a big deal so I give myself the liberty. Migos' Culture is out. It's not that long ago when Migos just seemed to be around as this old lion that no one had the courage to put down due to mutual gratitude. The impact of their 2015 was like nothing at all at the very best, and it's therefore all the more surprising they dun go release Bad & Boujee, and now they're huge. That's a late fucking career resurgence for rap music. I listened to this once, thought it was aight. T-shirt and Bad & Boujee were the best tracks innit. Sufficient throughout, but I already know which tracks I'm going to keep playing and which I won't. Been largely out of the internet for this year until now, so I have no clue what's due for a release and I even just found about this off of youtube recommendations.

Bear 1817 Posted January 27, 2017 Run the Jewels 3 are beyond good. Holy shit! Probably the best thing they've done till now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear 1817 Posted March 1, 2017 Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust fame knows and collects more than just metal, and his memphis rap mix is dope as fuck. I need to check out most of these artists a bit closer, and that 3 Memphis Kniccas track's beyond most rap I've heard in a long time. Brilliant! 1 Karma’s Hat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear 1817 Posted March 2, 2017 Been spinning both that Joel Grind - Memphis Devil Shit mix tape and 3 Memphis Kniccas' "Kill 'em Dead" a lot since yesterday. Loving both the mix tape and the 3MK tape. I just love that raw, dark, gritty sound of the majority of these artists. Gave Criminal Mafia - Tha Crucifixion and Manson Family - Heltah Skeltah a spin at work today, too, and they both seem really damn good too. Especially Criminal Mafia is exactly what I am looking for at the moment. That raw production is just top notch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Visutox 188 Posted March 11, 2017 Freddie Gibbs announced a new album titled ‘You Only Live 2wice’ expected to be released the 31st of this month. Also dropped a new single and man, it feels good to get a new tune from him. The boss is back to business. Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Visutox 188 Posted April 21, 2017 Has anyone listened Kendrick's new album yet? Wanted to know what the hype around it is all about and now I know, it's fucking dope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted April 22, 2017 ^ I did, tho only once. It was okay. On first listen I liked "To Pimp a Butterfly" better, but this is cool too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Visutox 188 Posted April 22, 2017 ^ I find the second half to be a lil bit weaker but nothing serious, it's really a fun album. I also love how DAMN. is 55 minutes long and doesn't seem so long, whilst To Pimp a Butterfly is longer and you can feel every minute of it. I don't mean that TPaB is boring but they're two different albums, they sound totally different. Also catching up with the latest Death Grips right now, it was about damn time!

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted April 23, 2017 I listened to humble and went like "eek." I'm going to try it when I get home, but there is this really off putting smug fedora rap vibe in Kendrick and that might just be something that I get from the fans rather than the artist. I'm a humble ninja who enjoys his Migos and 2 chainz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear 1817 Posted May 12, 2017 Rae Sremmurd's "SremmLife 2" and Migos' "Culture" are the fucking shit. Can't get enough of either albums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear 1817 Posted May 13, 2017 This song is so fucking good. Anyone with a proper knowledge of grime who can throw out some recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted May 15, 2017 Living and breathing for Sremmlife 2. Swae Lee is on fire in general like Perfect Pint from Ransom 2, jesus. Ransom 2 🔥🔥 ˆ afaik that stormzy song has quite an, uncommon sound for grime. The stuff that I'm familiar with sounds more like a British counterpart for mid 2000's south like young jeezy. Did you try Skepta's last album? Along with Stormzy he is probably the biggest import atm. Shutdown is hugely popular here ( i'm not the biggest fan ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not too familiar with grime, but isn't Functions on the Low a really classic grime tune/instrumental? Anyway, checked out Stormzy's debut album and it's alright, but it's 10-15 minutes too long and there's no red thread going through the album. At it's best it's phenomenal, but there's some songs that sticks out and just doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. Not tried Skepta's last album, but I am familiar with him, and I do like what's I've heard. But I need to dig deeper into the grime scene. I really like this genre.

Takadanobabaalien 3607 Posted May 20, 2017 Been listening to Biggie's debut "Ready to die" lately. It's such a great album tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted May 20, 2017 @Takadanobabaalien That album rules. The second one is a bit heavier on the duller tracks, although Hypnotise is all time top 10 @Bear There's something about stormzy's delivery that I find off-kilter. I like that song, but I recently tried the new album and got bored. As far as rap music goes I really like the most over the top hyper masculine stuff the best, and he is a bit strange somehow. That track is really good tho idk if you'll like this or not, but this is a famous grime album on the internet https://rateyourmusic.com/release/unauth/roadside-gs/grimetapes_com-roadside-gs/ When I think of how grime sounds I always think of this one first. 1 Bear reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear 1817 Posted May 26, 2017 We seem to be on net as far as grime goes. Btw, I just love how productive Czarface is. 4 excellent albums since 2013 is just fantastic, and Every Hero Needs a Villain might be one of my all time favourite hip hop albums. Raw and dirty boom bap at its very best. Best song ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) So today we got Lil Yachty's album and Dropwoptop Haven't tried the former yet, the latter is okay. I don't think it's even close to last year's Savage Mode which might be my favourite release of 2016. Seriously grew on me and I'm still listening to it constantly This bangs so fucking hard I can't even Edited May 26, 2017 by Disposable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Reverend 3566 Posted July 10, 2017 I like Playboi Carti even though I don't think there's a single instance of him really 'rapping'. I could listen to his ad-libs of "what?" "huh" and "*laser sounds*" for hours though. The flute in "Magnolia" is summer-time sounding as hell too, perfect for July. No one will remember this shit a decade from now but it's fun. (Is it just me or does the dancing with the black umbrella bit look like it could be for a VK photoshoot?) 1 Jigsaw9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't listened to the album yet but I like some of the cuts that I've already heard like the tracks featuring lil uzi Saw suicideboys in Tallinn past Tuesday and had a terrific time. I think I'll catch them again with Migos at a festival in August. I'm still torn whether I'll go see Young Thug/Aphex Twin or Suicideboys/Migos. I can make the company only pay for one festival :V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
