The Rap Thread: News, Reviews, Rants & Opinions: Volume 9 - Yes, we know "Hip Hop"

Typically don’t care for things like that, but that was good.

I went on a little “lyrics I didn’t get at first” quest on RapGenius, and damn. Gambino has all of them. He also has a whole bunch of references I didn’t get (or misinterpreted). Weird.

the gtwinz can rap.

I want the next Madlib / DOOM collaboration to be nothing but Quasimoto and Viktor Vaughn, lol. And for DOOM to actually produce some of it.

I agree about the bit on Frenz, it was always a track I kind of overlooked but then I listened to the lyrics and was like, this is really funny, because he says all these serious things about friendship in a kind of whimsical way.

Yup. It was a sad moment.

Ace, the DJ was pretty pissed too. He asked if someone could “please teach the ferrari boyz how to break” and some Gen-X chick got on the floor. Nothing fantastic, but decent. A hell of a lot better than what those two were doing.

Most women don’t know how to dress nowadays. Most guys don’t either though. As for the vid…it was meh. I get what he was trying to do, but I don’t think he did it well. Seems like he was trying to get some youtube groupie love.

He’s a comedian, it wasn’t serious.

Yup. And yet they still don’t have any label attention. They’re very marketable too which is sad.

Still my fave:

The Grey Album and Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers, two examples of blending hip-hop with the Beatles.

Here’s Wu-Tang’s CREAM with… I can’t pin it, lol.

Who did it better, Danger Mouse or Tom Caruana?

Also, mention your favorite mixes of hip-hop songs with other songs.

Who shamelessly is a fan of Biggie’s Party & Bullshit w/ Miley Cyrus’ Party In the USA?
This guy.

those blends are cool, I’m not a beatles fan at all though.

They can rap, but rapping twins seems gimmicky even for a “willing to hear anyone” guy like me. No telling how mainstream audiences would take it. Especially with this no cursing clause they seem to have.

the beatles are wack. that blue eyes meets bed stuy mixtape (biggie & sinatra) is flames though.

So has anyone heard anything good as of late? I am getting back on my producer steez so I have been listening to mass Rza, Madlib, Dilla and stuff. But I was wondering if there is any good stuff you all recommend? I haven’t heard much from Stones Throw. Lately I’ve been on a lot of weird instrumental stuff like Glitch Hop and all that.
Basically I have been listening to a lot of stuff like this:

That’s cool. Try listening to some Flying Lotus, see if you like that.

This is the video for Zodiac Shit, it’s really “A Cosmic Drama” put together with Zodiac Shit

Shit was flames, my dude. Good lookin’ out.

So he wouldn’t go after Common first eh?? Lol

And Black Thought been underrated.

Best DOOM solo is MM…FOOD imho

I think the “The Therapy Tape” font could have a lil more pop

to make it standout?like what effect?i used photobucket lol

IDK. Maybe a brighter color? Seems like a purple/pink feeling. But thats my opinion :confused:

And this is the Kanye a I want an album from. I love this
