has anyone seen Big Boi live? is he any good? he's coming thru orlando soon and i'm considering going if i can get a group together

He was pretty good when I went to go see him. Then again, he was promoting a better album back then.

 

[Luigitoilet]

i'd definitely prefer a Sir Lucious-centric show than Vicious Lies, but if he performs well enough and isn't always running out of breath and so on i'll have a good time regardless

 

[Linguini]

New mastered track coming out with dashizwiz next week...**** bumps....on some asap grimy type ****

 

[Boofy!]

Big Boi was solid when I saw him last year, he was late for his set cause he got held up in customs or something. Did all the classics, dude was hype. He's even shorter in real life.

 

[Linguini]

lmao big boi is prob the man, i'd def go if he was coming to my town

 

[soap]

A King Remembered In Time tommorow

Krit has quietly become one of my favorites

 

[Boofy!]

been a fan since I saw his cypher on bet awards, official

 

[soap]

lmao at the powertrip video

[Boofy!]

Has anyone here seen Macklemore and Ryan Lewis live? Gonna go see them and Killer Mike at this fest in July.

 

[Boofy!]

Also a video was shown at Coachella, Pharrell collabing with Daft Punk. Hype doesnt even begin to do it justice.

A King Remembered In Time tommorow

Krit has quietly become one of my favorites

He's easily my favorite of the new guys....but King Remembered In Time is kinda...lacking. Not better than the first three. Not bad...but kinda luke warm.

 

[Master Slice]

Power Trip video is just Dreams Part 2 which is ****ing brilliant if you ask me.

Also new Big K.R.I.T. is jammy. That track with Future is incredible, only problem is it is short.

I've been relistening to Lasers which really is actually a good album if you skip the track after Words I Never Said and Beautiful Lasers. W/o those I think the album is much more listenable.

Also Rich Ho

[Luigitoilet]

just bought kendrick tix instead of big boi haha. really stoked

 

[Diddy Kong]

 

[Boofy!]

^that was actually pretty good.

 

[soap]

^I agree with that guy

nice beat

 

[Boofy!]

Anyone listen to Indicud? MOTM1 and AKNC were classics, MOTM2 was also very good. Indicud si certainly better than WZRD but it's a far cry from his early work.

The features are all on point, Chip, KDot, and even fking Michael Bolton (which by the way is a standout track).

If MOTM was a 10/10 I'll give this a 7.5

This track hits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dffYH8JZoI

I saw Macklemore at Lollapalooza last year and I wasn't really impressed. He spend too much talking and stuff and not enough time rapping. I'm not a huge fan in general so I'm a bit biased though. I think it was the first time he ever did Thrift Shop in concert though so that was kinda cool. I also saw Big Boi last year and I really enjoyed that show. Kendrick coming to Lollapalooza this year, pretty ****ing pumped for that. 2 Chainz too.

 

[Boofy!]

Lovin this song of the Krit tape

Lovin this song of the Krit tape

The violin at the end reminds me of that Miri Ben Ari MLK tribute

listening to goblin for the first time.. i am utterly impressed.

i'm gonna see him on april 30th, i think its time for a week of preliminary tyler/OF heavy rotations

 

[Diddy Kong]

Almost ashamed of it, but damn, I like this Lil Wayne track.

Yeah it's about the same old **** he usually sings but this clip is based on one of my fave movies, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. So it's good.

To make up for it, here's something better:

 

[Suspect]

been gettin into yelawolf lately, mixtapes dope

 

[Linguini]

not hip hopz but here's a remix done by myself

Goblin was awful though

Also, I got a kick out of this. Maybe you guys would like it http://www.theonion.com/video/there-are-people-in-world-who-are-concerned-about,32163/

 

[Ginger Root]

I went to see Pro Era, Flatbush Zombies, and The Underachievers last week. I was thoroughly impressed. My first hip hop show and certainly not my last. Flatbush Zombies brought more energy then Pro Era (even though i do prefer Joey Bada$$ and his partners). I really need to see either Big KRIT or Danny Brown in the near future, and Master P. I cant get over how much I enjoy Master P.

 

[Jane]

Goblin was awful though

then actual lyrical content wasnt fresh or remarkable in any way (though there definitely are stand-out tracks), but the beats man, the beats. some really good stuff on this album and it was produced almost entirely by tyler, so kudos to him.

the production on goblin, yonkers, radicals (talking about the beat that starts at around ~4:20 in), she, her, fish, analog, and au79 is all top-notch.

the beats are definitely the highlight of goblin...still not sure if i would quite say "top notch" but it's a really solid album from a musical perspective...i think that fact is exemplified best in the jam session Tyler did with badbadnotgood.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7PEnj-8NHw

either way, the new album is way way way better than Goblin. it actually almost makes me like Tyler

 

[Jane]

i recall you posting that a while agp. i dig it even more now that i've heard the studio version. that was so dope. the way tyler is so excited for his first jam session haha. is badbadnotgood the drummer or more than one person?

anyways, yeah, top notch for all of those may be a bit of a stretch. mainly though, i just love the beats of fish, analog, and au79, and the "hidden track" in radicals a lot.

i will be listening to wolf probably later tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Boofy!]

Where are my Chi-town people? I'm thinkin about hittin this up

 

[Luigitoilet]

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/329944539785740288 if this means what i think it means im so stoked. i thought ye was just starting to work on the album but apparently not!!

 

[Diddy Kong]

Rebelution is amazing. I'd go only for them.

 

[The Ben]

Wu-Tang is also amazing, as is K.Flay. Actually that lineup is crazy good.

 

[soap]

I went to North Coast like 3 years ago. Saw Nas and Damian Marley, Lupe, Pretty Lights. Great time. Might go this year

 

[Diddy Kong]

Saw Nas and Damian Marley to in Amsterdam like 2 years back or so. Best preformance I've seen yet!

 

[Jane]

recently i've realized that my three favorite rappers are kanye, kendrick, and drake. the KKK if you will.

during a random stream of thought, i created a fun equivalence with the legend of zelda triforce: kanye would assume the role of the god of power, kendrick the god of wisdom, and drake the god of courage.

then i expanded them so that kanye was the god of power, style, and quality. kendrick the god of wisdom, skill, and introspection. drake the god of courage, charisma, and confidence. all personal characteristics i of course want to bring out in myself.

anyways, i just thought it was too quirky not too share.

 

[Boofy!]

Jane been on dat good good

 

[Diddy Kong]

Prepare to get your mind blown:

And just when I thought last week, damn, Papoose has gone quiet...

 

[Izuhu]

I found this song amazing, and I thought I share
