The Rap Thread: News, Reviews, Rants, Opinions Vol 7. Death to Swizz Beats!

I think it has to do with a contrast of styles. It’s like how fans of boxing won’t watch MMA but it’s all combative sports so why wouldn’t you support all of it? That;s how I see the south now. As far as the 'beefs", it’s like how the east is. Instead of working together they have to diss each other directly or subliminally and now the south is doing that same thing. And what Koop said was interesting. One of my former coworkers son’s best friend, who is black, pretty much grew up middle class around other blacks and whites. Well one day he decided that he wasn’t “real” and started hanging out with hood niggas (SE D.C. Alabama Ave.) and one day he almost got his ass locked up because the dudes he was hanging around with had weapons in the car they were in. Luckily for him he was in 7-11 when they police got them.

Bizzy still be rippin shit. Thats my nigga. I got the old Bizzy bone feeling on this shit.

Those closeups are too close. My nigga Wish got a gap outta this world.

Yall niggas need to get on this dude called Bodega Man right now, I’ve never heard of this dude(he’s definitely underground) but his album is tight.

pharoah has some def bars on desire, but infernal affairs is his joint that makes me go “whoaaa!” it’s a shame that the nigga has mos def-syndrome and doesn’t seem to care about releasing any material.

We got a rap group called H.I.S.D in houston dudes give out free albums they do they little shows . Yet nobody gives them anything because RAP-A-LOT controls everything its a monopoly out here.

H.I.S.D is sick! Beeon on them for almost a year.

Yo dawg, i remember seeing you play and/or playing you online on MvC2.

I dont remember if you whooped my ass or not, prolly did

What?? Niggas out here losing to Luigi-Bo? That’s just bad business.

LA in the building! (with Seattle-assist)

nah it was his label situation, not lack of material. hopefully bein on duck down will change that

eh there are way too many artists that have label situations that manage to put shit out. pharoah had a 6-7 year gap between albums with like 4 guest appearances…dude just doesn’t have that hunger to spit imo. he’s still dope as fuck, but i’m just calling how i see it.

:rofl:

what subaru’s aiignt hood? lol

Dis ziggan man…lol

Erykah Badu : New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) snippets:

I mean…can she do any wrong? My brain rots and turns into mulch that harvests weed plants when I listen to her shit.

um…flocka violated his parole by forgetting to say that he was going to do a show in VA. he only had a lil bit of time left on parole. its his fault but its not like he robbed somebody or got caught with guns or something.

according to niggas that know him, he gets around 15 a show and does a crazy amount of shows in the south and midwest. he’s grinding hard for that show money. he probably thought he could just do a show in va and go back to ga after with no problems…unfortunately he didn’t let his po know about it in advance.

Didn’t even know there was an earthquake in Okinawa. Got the news dropped in the weirdest way too, this girl in my Japanese class just stuck her head out the door while I was leaving.

Girl: "Hey, do you like nujabes?"
Me: "Hell yeah!"
Girl: "Oh, he’s dead."
Me: :wtf:
Girl: "Yeah, the news just came out."
Me: :sad:

Ah well, I’m lovesick already.

'Sup all. Haven’t been around GD much in the last little while, but I recently came out with something I thought I’d come through here to link you guys to.

[media=youtube]CQYfVsiYQTI[/media]

I’ve been working at writing/rapping/recording for a few years now, and some guys I’ve been collaborating with and I have just come out with a [media=youtube]CQYfVsiYQTI[/media]. I’m just hoping some of you will take a moment to check it out, take in the tunes, and let me know what you think about it as a whole.

We’re serious about what we do so don’t expect anything agonizingly amateur. I’m the token white dude in the video, if you’re trying to figure it out :P.

Alright cool, thanks for those of you who check it out, and any feedback is much appreciated. Respect.
