Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Ingenious Bastard]

Just finished C5.....yeah, yall were right.

Its not terrible. I like 7 or 8 tracks but I have no interest of ever revisiting this project as a whole.

Bird behavior again lol

Twitter can be hive mind-y sometimes.

The biggest loudest voices on there can really set the pace and influence the consensus. Especially the “contrarian” types.

Funny that’s the exact same thing on here

That would be the greatest troll I’ve seen in a while if son does that for real

Late as hell, but that Don Q Don Season 2 is flames.

I'm putting him slightly ahead of Dave East, Don is more consistent. I like his ability to do collabs with the trap _'s, rap on a few trap beats and still do him and not sound forced.

aint them baltimore cats

this dude

Everything about this post is wrong

Gates delivered.

One subjective criticism is that it’s 18 tracks of just him; no features. I’m not a fan of artists doing that. A feature here and there breaks up any monotonous feeling a person gets when they listen to an album. A featured verse, a chorus, something.

But I understand why he’d take this approach since this is his first full length project after being locked up.

Outside of that throne in my side, the joint goes. A couple skippable tracks, but that’s to be expected when you have 18 songs. On my first 3 listens I’m impressed and I’m standing by the whole “Gates is in the top 3 acts out right now” thing.

Cats sitting through an hour of C5 might as well give Gates a full listen. Willing to bet they’d enjoy it.

Facts....It's 2018, nobody trying to hear more than 15 tracks on a project

Thats what Twitter basically is...everybody wants to get in on the joke/meme or trending topic...u aint getting no attention on there going against the grain

J Cole jumping out the window when there's no proof either way.

I like when certain artist do projects with little or no features. Gates, Future. They can do everything and you get more introspective songs when they're by themselves. Future with BM 2. Gates ain't have that many features on LB 2 and that's his best work.

I’m definitely ready to say homie is above East for me. Low key the best cat coming out of the city right now from what I’ve heard. I can already tell off 2 listens this Don Season 2 gonna get a lot of spins from me

Naw I think everyone in this thread has their own opinions and stands by them. You’ll see people agree with someone on one page then disagree with them about something else on the next page. People just get in their feelings when they’re favorite rapper gets dogged.

He better really bless us with Barter 7. Our ears deserve it after listening to C5.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Barter 6 is still a great album. That's what made me a fan of Thug.

 

[D StaXX]

YIKES.

Behind I may be, but what the general scale in terms of sales now? I know touring and shows puts $ in rappers pockets, but I remember a time when folks used to brag about their numbers and going platinum in 1st week. Internet had that much an affect?
