Can I just say I hope that the last time B word Shapiro’s name is ever said in here.

 

Sorry I couldn't resist - that was the first person that came to mind when I was thinking of who would be into Tom Macdonald.


Anyway.... back to actually good rappers

 

I legitimately think Amine will be my AOTY or certainly in my top 3. Such a good album, and the features are insane.

 

Excited to check out Redveil

 

Too dope @The Lucky Moose

Rock The Bells x Everlast

 

@PauLo Is it possible you haven’t posted links to some recent Classics threads in here? Or maybe I overlooked the posts

 

New Big Sean album is legit really good

 

I didn’t really give it much of a chance admittedly but idk, skimmed a few songs and Sean rapping just always sounds off beat to me, especially in recent years. Clearly he’s doing something right cuz he certainly has always had a massive fan base, but he’s just not for me.

 

No, I definitely posted them in here. I thought the threads would slowly lose steam, so i'm not too surprised that recent ones haven't had as much engagement.

Fingers crossed a couple of big name classics in the next couple of weeks may get a few more people talking.

 

So did Queen Latifah happen already?

EDIT: Found it.

 

If you want, I can write the text for the Mama Said Knock You Out thread, as I’m the thread’s LL fan

 

Yeah, sounds good. I'm normally writing it late on a Sunday evening when my brain has stopped working, so having someone else do it would be a nice change haha.

DM me it when you're done?

 

LL Cool J on 'Mama Said Knock You Out' Turning 30 and Shunning the Phrase 'Old School'

Why LL Cool J’s Most Famous Album Almost Never Happened

The Oral History of "Mama Said Knock You Out" – Rock The Bells

 

When does it have to be done?

 

I normally put it up around 8pm-ish UK time. Which is about 9pm to you...?

 

I sent it. It's long but you know how I do.

 

Late to the party, but that redveil tape is kinda nice. Kids only 16 too. Madness.

 

Yeah, the Amine album is really good. Woodlawn is my favorite on it.

 

There is a 6K+ The Lox FB group lol

 

Re-visiting this song today, honestly feels like something that could have come out of Kanye's GOOD Friday's sessions if they were happening in 2020 and Kanye never became current Kanye

 

HIP HOP CLASSICS: LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out • forum.chorus.fm

New classic thread is up!

 

I got about 6 songs into the Big Sean one and I just wasn’t feeling it. I’ll have to get back to it one day.

 

I shared this in this week’s classics thread, but I figured I’d share it here too:

It’s a chronological LL career overview, featuring singles, otherwise relevant songs and random songs I like. He appears to be a blind spot for many and this will solve that once and for all for those that want it.
