Hip Hop Thread

[smokecrack]

I feel like rap is super gay right now, it's kinda like how rock went through the '80s, rap is going through its own glam period

I feel you but really I think it's just mainstream rap. I think now more than ever it's easier for underground acts to get more exposure, and sonically the music is more diverse than it's ever been. There's so many different styles that weren't really as prominent as before, it's just that all these corporate execs wanna push the kind of artists/records they think will sell the most. even moreso than before due to the large rise in piracy. But yeah, jus about everything on the radio is cookie cutter "sell this to the impressionable kids" rap.

exactly. it's like every up and comer is on the same playing field as all the vets and more established artists. the internet has helped hip-hop more than any other genre in my opinion. and i agree with you 100% about how the sound of hip-hop has become so diverse nowadays. you have fresh ideas & subgenres like cloud rap, swag/weirdo shit, avant-hip-hop and producers who are incorporating electronic and experimental elements to their beats. the game is progressing so much right now and i'm all for it.

on to the new music.

Kookies - MF Doom

It's an oldie but one of my fave tracks of all time.

I was always a bigger fan of the just blaze version. Incredible when high. Plus just blaze's know-it-all smartass antics are priceless.

Thanks, this is dope. But why do they call trck6 "NWO" when it doesn't have anything to do with new world order... for "i don't know you"!? I'm also confused by the extreme (subliminal) satanism in some new releases, what does this have to do with Hip Hop...
anyway, keep it up

man i fuck with asap rocky but he's really the biting-est rapper out right now. lil wayne straight up had a song with that exact same title with a similar hook, like same sequence of the same words. no hate for bath salts though (well, the features on that made the song).

[Fongstarr.]

^^^^^I did find that odd too. A little too similar just with the hook and all. At least this is for Clue's album and not his LP.

[verbal ham]

recorded via phone call from prison

X-Raided - White Man's Burden	Small | Large

My fore fathers was bought and sold, raped and sodomized
Now after eight hundred years you decide to apologize
Apology not accepted, too late for repentin'
Time to ride, homicide to William Clinton
That ass rippin', penetrated with baseball bats
Shoot him up with heroin and get him hooked on crack
Black folks been sufferin' in the United States
These United Snakes got us in divided States
Shell-shocked, Hell's got to be here on Earth
In the ghetto circumstances can't get no worse
Certain chances we takin' to survive, we got no choices
So we rappin' hopin' we can make it happen with our voices
I was too smart for football, too short for hoops
So I rode with the Crips and cliques thick with troops
X-Raided them tricks hated but I don't give a fuck
Uneducated bitches don't realize they stuck
You're oblivious to the fact that your life is hideous
We're holdin' our own and we don't need you to pity us
Plus, we got our own kind holdin' us down
Those who sold their souls, but it'll be cold
When we catch you, I bet you'll receive the death sentence
Turnin' racist generals into pulp non-fiction
Circumcision the "G" way
Murder the D.A.
Hit 'em with hollow slugs, show him no lee-way

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
It's too late for apologies fuck your sorrow
Doin' it one day at a time yellin' "Fuck tomorrow!"
In the streets it's crack, guns, and infected bitches
Genocide on the down-low, the White Man's wishes

[Second Verse]
My father figures was Arnold "Schwarzanigga" and Sly Styllone
Puttin' visions of murder in a nigga's dome, early on
I grew up, watchin' Al Pacino and Nino Brown
Tarentino is the one who let me know how to put it down
Television created a gang of niggas like me
We learned how to kill at home watchin' T.V.
It poisoned my mind as a youth
Introduced me to money, mayhem, and murder, I'm the product it produced
Let me loose to prowl, now they sayin' I'm a killer
Cuz European ideology's all about the scrilla
Ain't y'all feelin' the devastation you're causin' the Earth?
Steady exploitin' the milk of this bitch for all that it's worth
When it's ready to blow up, they gone leave this World and go on to Mars
Leave us torn and everybody up will be reachin' for stars
Why my people so caught up in money, cars, and bitches?
Don't you realize, you're fulfillin' the White Man's wishes?

[Chorus]

[Third Verse]
Lord forgive for all the blood that his body bled
And all the tears that his Mommy shed
The book says "Thou Shalt Not Kill", but I've seen more blood spill
Than all them vets on Hamburger Hill
It's real post war syndrome
I went to see my homie but his Mama told the homie been gone
And every time I turn around, it's a body on the ground
Fresh gun shot wounds, but he didn't hear a sound
When he came out the womb, nobody told him he would be dead so soon
The gauge went BOOM
It's America, I know you got a cure for AIDS
We need a cure for rage, on the rampage
Can you feel it? The tension's in the air thick
And hate got me so high I'm gettin' airsick
You got my people broke, lookin' for a buck to borrow
Doin' it one day at a time, FUCK TOMORROW!
Fuck your song!
I want revenge! I got a beretta named Vendetta
Time to answer for your sins nigga
And when you meet your creator tell him I said, "I apologize"
But I gotta ride...

[Will Easley]

New Will Easley single! Had a few obstacles in the way of release single but its all good now. I told yall I been tryna get on some next level shit. Shoutout to those who said my voice was too monotone & that one nigga who said my beats didn't have enough bass.

Will Easley - Just Do It (feat. YD)	Small | Large

I know I original stated that I didn't want any features but this was like the perfect one. YD's one of the hottest local rappers in my area and has taken me under his wing for the past few months. We have really good chemistry & I felt like getting him on my first lead single would be a perfect way to build a buzz for myself. First it was SLAP, now it's the rap game. Fuck with me!
