Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

I really thought Knoc-turnal had next

I was a big fan of Knoc'turnal when he first came on the scene. He had the backing of Dr Dre, a song on The Transporter movie and some solid singles. Shame the leak of his debut happened.

I hated dudes voice. It was distinct in a bad way to me.

Y’all remember when 50 was tryna get this nasty tank top off?

I died when Cam’ron called it a brassiere

I couldn't believe people were such a big fan of 50 that they were buying those, his ugly *** clothes and those ugly *** Rod Laver's

Dude was the wackest dressed rapper next to Joe

Happy Gday Young MC!

Nah shorts and timbs would still be poppin if the internet didn’t exist. It’s the “cool” thing to clown ny for the combo, but when regional bubbles still existed, timbs and shorts could go together harmoniously.

The internet comes along and we got cats wearing dresses and banging b’s. I’ll take shorts and timbs over jeggings and kicks any day.

Both terrible . ****** walking around with oversized denim shorts and big as timbs on yuck b yuck. ****** used to get clowned for trynna do that here.

Only postal workers and hikers need to be wearing shorts and boots. Y’all stay wildin’

Em and 50 were the last rappers that should have had clothing lines

It was really standom.

They caught licks with that.

 

[delete1234]

Facts...I did manage to finesse to get them Gunit 2s with the DMX sole

 

[trynafeelmink]

I vividly remember wearing timbs with some denim shorts & a Sprewell Knicks Jersey back in the day (blame it on hov)

Did that **** once and 13yr old me realized that ****** was BUGGIN for doing the shorts Timbs combo . foot felt like a stove.

 

[a blinkin]

Damn. No one dropped today?

2019 has really been trash as far as releases.

2017 and 2018 spoiled us.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

2018 was insane, man.

Just take me back to Drogas WAVE and Tana Talk 3 back to back months to close it out.

!!DROGAS WAVE!!

WAV Files one of the best songs I've ever heard

 

[Grine]

Yo 50 Cent be buggin’ with this money bullying ... acting like a loan shark in public

 

[harlemtothebronx]

!!DROGAS WAVE!!

WAV Files one of the best songs I've ever heard

EVER. Still go back to it regularly and I'm always blown away by the storytelling and wordplay. Lupe is an alien, man.

Album is slept on something serious. It comes on my shuffle every now and then. Concept is dope. Lupe with better production and on point!

 

[trynafeelmink]

I still haven't given Drogas wave a listen but i really like T&Y.

Only thing with Lupe projects is i really have to block time out to really LISTEN, i feel like i'm doing my self a diservice just hearing it on a surface level, knowing just how much he puts into it.

Hell Murals had me online researching mad ****

Never listened to Lupe a day in my life. He's annoying as **** and it turned me off

I remember going back and reading the lyrics while listening to it and seeing the amount of slave ships he was listing DEAR GOD

Still go back to Murals more than WAV Files. I still find new stuff in that song when I listen now.

Probably been posted in here already but:

To each his own of course, but if you like lyricism and wordplay I don't know many who can match Lupe.

But as mentioned, you really gotta sit with it. I carved out a whole evening for Drogas. It's a long *** album.

Yo was my favorite rapper for a 2 year period 06-07 . Lupe & Wayne.



Crazy how him and Stack Bundles was roommates and real close. Stack was signed to 1st & 15th before Lupe actually.

OH WE DOING THIS?

Lupe the Killer blew my mind back when it dropped.

This **** is clutch... i've been saying it for years in terms of pure rapping ABILITY Lupe may have the most complete skillset ever. Flows, metaphors, storytelling, wordplay, concepts etc etc dude is incredible.

Over the years he's just seemed to not give a **** about making it digestible anymore like he did to an extent with F&L & The Cool.
