Same. I feel like modern Em tries to fit too many syllables into bars sometimes, but you can tell the technical talent is still there. The last verse in Believe really improved the song tbh. Great beat too. I also like River

In other news, I was reminded by YouTube how good Year of the Ox are. Korean-American rap duo.

but when they hear me they hear the big Pac in me
they hear hip hop in me, oh the hypocrisy"

"I want to force feed my lyrics, transformed form of a beast
Cooked like Raekwon and like Szechuan, gourmet to beef"

Their multi-syllabic rhymes are pretty impressive.

Have any of you gave Omar Linx a listen? White rapper out of Toronto. Does a lot of singles with Zeds Dead. Give him a listen and let me know what you think? Also, soundcloud AllttA. They're a French duo I think.


Oh yea, Omar LinX is legit. Cowboy, Jackie Boy, Little Moment, You and I, are really good. His style of pessimistic, grim, flows on those songs are great.

Check out King Los - Moor Bars. Came out a few days before the year ended. Pretty legit in my eyes. Guy is underrated by mainstream.

I'm not a fan of Drakes music, but his most recent music video was really nice. He came to my home city and we showed a different side of him.



The cool thing, a friend of mine received a donation for a scholarship too from Drake.

I thought this one was fun by Tech N9ne. Reminded me a little of Kid Frost's Terminator

Beat's more stripped down, but I thought it was also pretty fun. (Three different rappers)

I'm surprised we haven't talked about the "This Is America" music video yet. It's got Childish Gambino putting some trap on, some great dance moves, some imagery and a great video concept.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

Everything is great except the bolded; I don't really get the appeal of trap. The actual rap in trap sounds so stilted and cut up and tends towards repetitious, and then there's all the auto-tune... I don't know. I don't get the entire sub-genre.

Yeah, I kinda agree. I'm more of a "headphones at the desk" kind of listener so instrumental/lo-fi/chill-beats-to-study-with hip hop is more my thing. Trap is probably better in certain other settings.

Try giving it a fair shake. It's got some alright rappers. Metro Boomin is a very good producer.

I liked Childish Gambino doing some trap because he put an interesting spin on it, whereas the genre is normally pretty boring lyrically and metaphorically.

"This is America" has a pretty good video, but the actual song was pretty boring to me.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-reg-xxxtentacion-shot-miami-20180618-story.html

Don't know if anybody likes XXXTentacion here. Butheard the news pretty early today since I'm from the area.

Broward County-based rapper XXXTentacion, who rose to fame while posting raps online from his bedroom, was shot to death Monday in Deerfield Beach.

The 20-year-old Parkland resident, whose given name was Jahseh Onfroy, was shopping for a motorcycle when two gunmen ran up to his black BMW and at least one of them fired, said Keyla Concepcion, a spokeswoman for the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

The motive appears to be a robbery and the suspects fled in a dark-colored SUV, Concepcion said.

Onfroy was in the driver’s seat when he was shot just before 4 p.m. at 3671 N. Dixie Highway in Deerfield Beach, the site of RIVA Motorsports.

He was taken to Broward Health North in Deerfield Beach, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.

No doubt.

I don't even care if he puts out a real album I'd buy 12 straight diss tracks. In damn near old form if you ask me.

Full disclosure, it upsets me that Eminem is top 5 in the game, but truth is truth.

I recently stumbled upon this video of DMC reflecting upon the state of hip hop.



Really recommended to watch and fully understand how shitty hip hop has become today.

Hip hop can never be shitty. A squad of 15 year-olds having fun rapping to a beat one of them made outweighs a billion wack sell-outs who present a redundant concept of hip hop. .

As for establishing what is valuable and fit to represent it, having a rich flow of worthwhile rhymes on a dope beat will always matter more than anything else, no matter the trends, news and what any number of non-conformists tell or do different.

Has anyone seen the new visual for Gambino's 'Feels like Summers' video? He stays in his lane the whole film, ignoring what's going on around him with the hip hop culture of today. Definite must watch.

Lol hes kind of a hypocrite, Hip hop was never intended to be respectful, Or give a fuck what anyone else thinks. It's Da Art of Storytelling, the culture, it's meant to give a voice to those who don't originally have one.

But we can agree that a lot of the new stuff is pure shit from a lyrical standpoint.
