i ♥ hip-hop


The NZA

Recommended Posts

That first one was fucking awful... The second one was good though...

 

They're off the same Man on the Moon album and most of the songs sound like the first one. I like the song and some others, but not the greatest. Not a perfect album, but serviceable.

haku's gonna have to post some Black Keys up in here, really great mixup album last year that i didn't get around to posting on.

 

meantime, here's an old one from (i believe) the recording set there with Mos Def going on about the greatness that is MF DOOM.

Madvillainy 2 might be my big album next year, unless Liquid Swords 2 gets pushed back again.

where to start...

 

* that roots jam w/ cody chestnut tight're a nun's cunt and should be subtitled "chuck berry's theme." saw them perform it live back 5 or six years ago.

 

* kanye used the now defunct red sonja promo art for his single or is that a fan cover? either way--is nice.

 

* panch is on point w/ kid kudi. man on the moon was probably my number one new hip-hop album of the past year.

 

* i had no idea the black keys did a hip-hop/mash-up album! :blink: then again i just discovered these guys like a few weeks ago. i coudln't find a torrent for an album, but i did find this jay-z mash-up

nah, i meant mix-up as in hip-hop stars who aren't the roots sometimes using instruments, a la RZA on the strings - Black Keys have been around (i think they do blues stuff normally), but the album you're putting ASC onto was the one im talking about:

that's one indie-ass cover

pretty fun too, some lazy stuff by the end (just remixing an old ODB/Luda track) but overall a really cool effort.

 

PS i approve of DoJ's last few tracks posted up.

2010-2011: return of hip-hop. as if what's dropped this year hasn't been enough:

 

Recently, RZA confirmed that he will be producing Liquid Swords II: The Return Of The Shadowboxer, which is tentatively due out in Fall of 2010.[8].

 

 

 

2010-present: Tenth studio album Speaking about his upcoming tenth studio album, Nas called the album a "magic moment" in his rap career while mentioning that Swizz Beatz, DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Dr. Dre, Kanye West and RZA are possible producers on the LP.[71] "A Milli" producer Bangladesh revealed that he produced some tracks for the album.[72]

you can listen to Good Friday here - i'm liking what i'm hearing. Com, Clipse (Pusha T's good, though i prefer Malice), Charlie Wilson...great beat too.

 

yeah, i keep saying it, but Kanye's album's lineup is ridiculous, i've got big hopes for this one in particular.

 

as for Nasty Nas...we've got to correct that, sir. what have you heard of his? let's start with his debut album Illmatic, still one of hip-hop's finest. if this does nothing for you somehow, yeah, it's safe to pass on him entirely.

yeah, i think i can pass on ole' nassir. for me hip-hop has always been more 60% beats/music 40% rhymes/MC. and nas just doesn't do it for me really on either front.

 

as for the new kanye joint you linked--is he sampling Biz on that one? i think he is!

that's a pretty good pick...i was thinking stillmatic (such a good union of nas' lyrics + production) but lost tapes is hot fire like dylan. still, i'm willing to throw in the towel if illmatic didn't work for you, at least you tried.

At least you know to expect good things from Madvillainy 2/Paper Mill, can't wait on that one either. if Kid Cudi's album has more than just 1 song going for it, ill check that one out too...i haven't really given him a chance. I finally got around to checking out Lupe a while back, and he's got some great tracks in there occassionally but i can't get into him like many other backpackers can, kinda inconsistent for me. plus, he's kinda fucking around with Lasers (i thought it was his label's fault, but his fans are starting to blame him too like he's the next Detox or something), so there's that.

 

also, i got really sad when asking why i wasnt hearing anything new from Cannibal Ox (much love to Loreli for putting me onto "the cold vein", no idea how i missed that one, it's a classic), came to find out from dudes in NY that the lead MC is a crackhead wandering the streets these days, fuckin' tragic.

 

"it aint hard to tell" samples MJ's classic "human nature", how can you not love that?! i knew i shouldve picked the ones with 80's beats you'd dig like "rule"

60% beats? pac cries thug tears for hip-hop.

so is "human nature" the song biz sampled on "just a friend"? b/c i'd swear that's the same piano track on kanye's new one.

fuckashakur!

nah, wiki says that was "you got what i need" by Freddie Scott. here, try this:

Large Professor sampled this one like Kanye or Puffy sometimes sample - it's outright just sped up a bit, you should catch it in the first 10 seconds. but yeah, in case 80s beats sampled do it for, i was curious if you'd dig this one:
