Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Master Zik]

Jay looks sick.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Interesting. I kinda like this new trend of features not being credited.

Kanye did it with these GOOD projects too.

Tidal has them credited

[VARNELL HILL]

Tidal has them credited

I'm talking the tracklist.

As in the titles don't say (feat. this person, that person)

Like I'm listening a song and Pharrell just starts rapping on a track I didn't know he'd be on.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Based on Everything Is Love
Shining & Top off sounding how they did was all on Dj khaled

 

[tennakeyslim]

Until further notice...Daytona album of the year

Nipsey wants a word with you

 

[Master Zik]

This popped up on my timeline, who would y’all say?

Cam'ron

 

[TheRealAlleygator]

I think Rick Ross and Kanye would make good music not even that big a fan of Ross either ..better yet The Weeknd Kanye and Ross would be an epic ep..with those deep beats that make you feel like you standing in a pyramid with Egyptians feeding you cocaine. That one Weeknd and Ross song they got is a banger

 

[str8drop]

_’s wanting Nas to call up Preemo and Large Pro meanwhile Jay rapping on trap beats

 

[str8drop]

.

 

[Hahahaha]

Wait a ****in minute, y'all killing NaS and talking about Jay flowing. First ****in song "Summer" Jay flow is super trash on this. Beyonce singing her heart out, perfect flow and then Jay start rapping and sound like he deaf on this song. SMH

Beyonce rapping about Phillippe Patek, smh. Y'all definitely got different energy for "The Carters" y'all had me a little hype about this too.

Jay lyrically is dope on this, flow on some songs is wack and on some songs it's dope. They sound confused like they want to chase some of today's flows and beats but then at the same time they don't want to fully commit to that trend. Hearing Jay talk about being born in the trap and then using that trap flow, smh. Come on yo.

The hook on 713 had me cringing the whole time.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Hey man, at least the pace changes on the album. Felt like that Nas album was a long *** song.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Album is fire, flows are fire, beats are fire.

 

[SC kid]

Beyonce verse on apepoop sounds exactly like thugger

 

[tay1]

Jay sounded fine on this in every way. Nas was off and theres no questioning it. He still has it but it feels like the interest ain't there for bruh

 

[tay1]

They really are tryna use the tour and album cheat code tho. On tidal they have all the songs under the new tracks section. It wasnt like that when it dropped and they havent done that for other albums.

 

[youngthundercat]

Yea nip def the best album so far

 

[va757va]

Album is too cold...

Jays first verse in nice, the flow, Jesus Christ!!

Idk who is writing for bey, but even her raps were straight ::shrug:: ...

I ran it like three times, ain’t skipped a track yet...

Boss
Apeshhit
Nice
Black effect

 

[rbk93]

Will be interesting to see how all these albums aged over the years, but Redemption seems to be my favorite right now over the past month or so.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

I have to listen to Nipsey's album again cause I didn't find it as great as most people here. It was cool though

 

[Peep Game]

Jay and Beyoncé are cool and all, but there’s no way I’m listening to this

Can you record audio of you saying this

[mastamind033]

Jay and Beyoncé album is cool but some of you guys really overhyped this ****

 

[trynafeelmink]

They really are tryna use the tour and album cheat code tho. On tidal they have all the songs under the new tracks section. It wasnt like that when it dropped and they havent done that for other albums.

I mean it is their streaming service, why wouldn't it be .

Also as for the people saying nas is "offbeat" 1) i don't hear that much if at all 2) Just like Jay with 4:44, these dudes are masters at the art of rapping..... If the flows sound a bit different i'm gonna assume it was done purposely.... Now whether or not you like the sound is your decision.

All i know is that for the amount of critique this nas album is getting, & the amount of ******** i see posted in here as being flawless or amazing something ain't adding up.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

/\ Do we usually compare artists' works to THEIR other works and to their contemporaries....or do we judge ALL music on ONE giant scale with the same criteria?

Chances are...the people who are posting music you consider "********" in here that they like...aren't looking at Nas and said BS artist in the same light and judging them with the same gavel.

Gunna can have a fire *** mixtape...and Nas can have a trash album.
