good

 

not good enough, he did way more than ASSAULT

 

fair enough

 

First TDE release of the year! Amazing features, haven't listened yet though

 

The Alchemist has an album out today. I only know him from his work with Freddie Gibbs, so I’m interested to hear his solo stuff

 

Another one? He only released one last week! Dude is on a role.

 

Then I think it’s that one. YouTube Music has it on the top of the list under new releases.

 

Ah ok. He's got a fair few lined up for the next month or two though if I remember correctly. Producer of the year by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.

 

Anyone else think Sean sounds kinda off beat on the new Benny and Wayne song? Not feeling the flow at all. Benny and Wayne killed it though.

 

New Reason album is probably my favorite hip hop album this year.

 

Just listened to Uncontrolled Substance for the first time yesterday. Twas very nice. Inspectah is probably my most slept on Wu member.

 

Pretty disappointed by the Headie One record off first listen. Mostly just sounds like the same thing over and over. The variety of the tape with Fred again.. is definitely missed. Hope it sticks more with time but feels like he found one formula and repeats it over and over again.

First time hearing that track with Drake too and that's probably the most washed he's ever sounded? The fake, clipped British accent is so embarrassing and he can't replicate Headie's flow for shit.

 

Now that’s something

 

Not a big hip hop poster on here but i do love me some good hip hop, and i’ve really been looking to expand my horizons lately - any good recs for whats good right now? Found this album in a recommendation on apple music and i couldnt find anything about this dude on this site, but i’m loving it so far.

 

The Goat - Polo G
Pray For Love - Rod Wave
Unlocked - Denzel Curry

 

forever in love with big fish theory

 

I think a bunch of people listed their recommendations for someone else a page or two back, would be worth looking through

 

the opening to that young nudy album with Pierre Bourne is one of my favorite openings

the beat and his voice just mesh so well

 

the merch game is getting more and more ridiculous by the day

 

grail

 

Not long to wait!

 

Rule 3:36, a 00s classic, came out 20 years ago today.

 

RULE BABY

 

After the Murder Inc. offices were raided by the cops for the first time, Def Jam pressured them to take the Murder out of the name. From The Big Payback:

“It had to be Murder Inc.”, Lorenzo [Irv Gotti] had said. “We make hits, get it? Number one with a bullet, get it ?“

 

20 years ago I downloaded, burned to a blank CD and printed out a custom label for a one disc best-of Rule 3:36 and Pain Is Love. It was honestly hit after hit after hit.
