Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[masagipatron]

Brooklyn Public Library outdid themselves with that Jay exhibit and they’re releasing library cards for every Jay album cover. I should check out the exhibit and maybe hit up Sunday Smorgasburg but I’m a burnout and probably won’t do it.

I got the Wild Style library card from NYPL

Queens Public Library did a Queens library card based on Shirt Kings in Jamaica. But BKPL took it to the next level.

Let me know when the Library cards with the album covers of Hov come out

 

[Magic33]

Ransom made a Kyrie Irving song?

Yeah, I posted it a week ago

They're both from Jersey

 

[Magic33]

Never heard Confessions of Fire. When I was young i bought SDE and Come Home with me, hard to imagine Cam rapping at that level in 1998.

I had Big Pun, GZA, Outkast and Snoop albums

I thought the rapping was actually better on Confessions of Fire

 

[Magic33]

What are your must have hip hop albums from the 90's ?

Thanks I got most of those, but don't have any of The Roots, EPMD or AZ

My favorite Roots is Do You Want More

EPMD - Business Never Personal
De La - 3 Ft High, Buhloone
Black Moon - Enta Da Stage
Fugees - The Score
Ice Cube - Death Certificate
Tribe - Midnight Mauraders, Low End Theory
Scarface - The Diary
MF DOOM - Operation Doomsday
Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet
DJ Quik - Way 2 Fonky, Born And Raised
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Mecca & The Soul Brother
Smif N Wissun - Dah Shinin
Common - Resurrection
Brand Nubian - One For All
Redman - Whut?
Cypress Hill

Don’t think I had ever seen the Jay feelin it video, why does it have damn near all different verses lol

They're intertwined for me, because I grew up hearing both.

Reasonable Doubt leaked about a month before it actually came out.

sort of like how I heard this first



and it took me a bit to get used to the Mary version

Either way he was late. Shouts to Cleveland...

 

[Confessions of Fire]

Ransom version > that trash above

Does Ransom still rock with Hitchcock? I used to listen to a lot of A-team stuff when Clue still had mixtapes

 

[wavycrocket]

everyone focusing on the line but he kinda slid

Yo really just pure talent . Only way to explain it. This ***** is still going. Floating

They already started releasing them at different BK libraries

It's like bruh physically unable to do a bad verse.

They're still cool last Ransom said, but Hitch doesn't **** with music anymore. I guess the industry left him bitter.

I wouldn’t even blame him for being bitter if that is the case. A-Team was underrated as hell.

 

[Magic33]

I miss the mixtape era, especially when everything moved to the internet and you didn't have to play the exchange thing. Oh you have that Clue, can I borrow that.

It was just so many mediocre indistinguishable rappers rapping.



RIP Stack

[TipsyMcStagga]

If Boosie and TK kIRKLAND turn on his punk self it's a wrap

Vlad has over 5 million subscribers. He's not going anywhere no time soon lol He's interviewing legends like Chaka Khan and Smokey Robinson now so he has a whole new audience of people.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

I always tell people that I prefer CoF and SDE Cam. He was more of a lyricist back then.

The only kyrie song we acknowledge

Homie would have blew if he wasnt trying to terrorize Cleveland heights lol

SDE is his best album imo

 

[wavycrocket]

Kinda crazy this happened to Jeezy in the Bay, and the role he played in “JANKY PROMOTERS” In Stockton, CA

 

[Manny Fernandez718]

I need some that MISSY , 8ball & MJG , Ghostface , Juvenile in my collection bad

UGK Ridin dirty ,Master P Ghetto dope and Tha Dogg Pound Dog food used to played a lot on the way to school.

My white college roommate and his friends went nuts the first time they heard Ghetto D.

SDE is his best album imo
