i was thinking about making a thread just like this. for me, my playlist has alot of hip-hop/rap. i listen to alot of Lil Wayne, mainly his mixtapes. i have some Draft Punk on there too and dont forget about some cool anime tune.
Massive Attack comes to mind… not a bad idea… “I Against I” has got to be one of the best battle songs known to man…
The ken masters song was awesome. And… yea… i cant help but have a guilty soft spot for wayne, but i’m trying to keep it to good rap/hip-hop. Even though he does throw a fresh punch line or 2… and he’s got good flow… but that’s all he’s got. Content, Theme, ability to stay on subject, a lot of aspects that makes good rap/hip-hop good, he lacks drastically.
Deltron 3030/Illmatic, prime examples of great/amazing hip-hop albums
I love stuff like this, and yet I have so very little of it in my collection.
Anyway, to answer the question, I’m rarely in training mode, which might explain my inconsistent play (decent one day, *****y the next). I’d like to not look like a bona fide clown in the lobbies of Super, so maybe that should change. When I’m playing for experimental puproses, it’s usually against someone online. So yeah… when playing SFIV (any mode), I just listen to its music.
