Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Gunna bout to drop the tape of the year.

Gonna be hard to top this but I feel it in my bones as well

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Maybe in terms of accolades or people he has worked with but compare him to other more mainstream producers and it's clear he still is underground.

1. Timbaland
2. Swizz
3. Dre
4. Ye
5. Pharrell
6. Scott Storch

And the list continues. These dudes are as famous if not more famous than the guys they produce for. Premier isn't that at all.

We know Premier ain't as known as Ye and Dre but that don't mean you underground.

Tap in with the gang

Also shout-out to Quinn Cook

 

[Master Zik]

How long ago was that? Seriously.

So AZ is mainstream now too, because of what he was back in 96?

Well there's old acts and then there's underground artists.

As time goes on for some, the underground OG becomes a bit more prominent.

Premo is more famous by name than appearance as a producer (naturally so) but given he's a legend he's not gonna be grouped as just an underground legend. He's more than that as opposed to J Dilla who is more of an underground legend in comparison.

You could also say Dilla worked with Tribe and Busta

I consider both Dilla and Premo underground producers

You went to Puff and the Hitmen or Trackmasters for your commercial song and Premo for the street ****.

Ayo on some real ****, anytime i think I'm too "matchy matchy", i ask myself «am i Fabulousey?"

I was just telling a friend of mine that we come from that ‘Fabolous match every color’ era. That’s really my self-check, too.

 

[Magic33]

I miss the whole GOOD Fridays era. So many good loosies just being thrown to the wild.

Is Cy Hi done rapping or something? Feels like his album came out ages ago.

I was asking about him the other day

All that Kanye bootlicking and I don't think he was even involved in Donda.

 

[wavycrocket]

[6pac]

Is there even a “mainstream” in rap anymore?

 

[donewithjs]

That's what threw me off too. He made it sound like he knew it was this dude all along.

 

[a blinkin]

Son said he knew the information since the day Dolph got hit. I was out after that.

Voice of the streets.
