Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[RIP sleazyy]

Hus was one of my favorites from the bay during the mid 2000’s but I always questioned his accessibility to people not from here

I'm from Va, my blue cousins listened to dude heavy and put me on. They put me on to a lot of lowkey folks from out there.

facts the bay been heavily slept on period. i'm amazed that *****s just hearing about dj fresh and i'm from atlanta.


boy i wore this album out... hus used to come with that work

Same man. Senior year this was one of my get money albums

 

[d nice]

This list is in no particular order.

Royce Da 5'9 -Book of Ryan
Black Thought- Streams of Thought Vol. 1 and 2 ( They felt more like EP's than albums)
Jay Rock-Redemption
Travis Scott-Astroworld
Lupe-Drogas Wave
Nipsey Hussle-Victory Lap
Phonte-No News is good news
Meek-Championships
Future-Beastmode 2

Honorable mentions
Nas-Nasir
Cole-KOD
Phryme

not only that
nate was more hood/gangsta despite being a pastors sonas ALOT of these so called gangsta rappers

Nate was on camera robbing 5 stores right before Deathrow took. Suge had to get lawyers to wipe it all away.

This ***** gotta real management.
Exactly what @the 7th mile and I was saying.
A simple Google or Instagram search would have shown those 25 million plus followers.

I find that hard to believe because Thug was on it...and Gunna is signed to Thug

Apparently Gunna was her 1st choice. Either way, he needs new management.

The story comes from an off-hand comment Gunna made to Audiomack’s Marketing Director, Joe Vango. Per Vango: "Gunna came to Audiomack back in March to play us new music. We were talking about an unreleased song with him and [Young] Thug. That was their second song they recorded, and [we talked about] their relationship. Next thing you know, he says that [he missed out on "Havana"] and his manager was like 'Bruh.' He kept calling her 'Camilly.'"

Yeah this ain't cool.

this and at the same time

I’m glad he ain’t hop on the Camila Cabello song. Cubans are racist, she just wanted that crossover appeal.

Also, Gunna is a whole lick out here. You always gotta have a few sober dudes in the clique. These dudes be so high or inebriated, then end up getting got

 

[addict4sneakers]

Camila cabello is a little PYT

 

[tay1]

Damn this A Boogie album wack

 

[alexody]

Camilla said they wrote it with Thug in mind but Thug said he wasn't feeling the track so I wouldnt be surprised if Gunna team got their hands on it

 

[Maximus Meridius]

That 213 album shoulda been a classic but they waited too long. In that Warren G documentary Snoop said Suge didn't like them working with Warren cuz Warren made it w/o Deathrow.

If they had locked in and did that album in 95... My god.

I had no idea Nate Dogg was basically a goon that could sing until I saw some documentary a couple years ago (maybe Unsung). No wonder he always had this cold stoic expression on his face.

 

[kingsrborn]

Husalah shouldve became bigger than what he was. Two factors stopped his momentum, 1. He caught a major dope charge with a lot of weight, people in the Bay/Cali say he straight up snitched after getting caught. Supposedly he got caught with a huge amount of Coke, and

 

[kingsrborn]

Let off with a slap on the wrist, even though he had prior arrests/record.

 

[kingsrborn]

I think people in the music scene stopped messing with homie after he got arrested, because the momentum he had stopped after that incident. He wasn’t making as much music, plus it was like he disappeared from the music scene after that arrest.

2nd. When his music was hot in the underground scene, he didn’t move around enough to connect with bigger names, and people more connected in the mainstream side of the industry. Everybody in the Bay back then said he was making large amounts of money off of the streets, so music wasn’t a big priority to him like we would think it was to him. He was a spitter though, I’ll give him that.

 

[MajinZuub]

Hus dropped a new album this year that was pretty damn solid.
The snitching thing is a heavy rumor out here though, think he did 5 years if I remember correctly.

Is meek still eating jail food?
