They have a name for the group?

LOL @ Charles Hamilton being included...
SMH, Charles Hamilton is dope, despite all the bull**** that he went through in 09,and his recent stuff has been nice. Check out Paperboy with B.o.B. Plus the Pink Lavalamp is a classic album.

just heard that Lupe, Wale, Asher Roth, Blu, Cool Kids, Charles Hamilton, B.o.B, Diggy and DJ Skateboard P are making a group........that's too many people man.
That would be too many people, but it would also be pretty sick.

is that official at all?

also whatever happened to childrebelsoldier
Man I'm just hoping for Lasers before I worry about that.

In all honesty, all I have from him is the Charles the Hamilton mixtape.

I don't really follow his drama...his music just is kinda wack to me, lol.

Haven't heard anything recent though, I'll give him another look.

lol all that bull**** was his fault, from getting punched in the face to challenging serious jones to a rap battle to all of detroit hating him because he actually listed J Dilla as an executive producer on his album, which was straight disrespectful, and lied to Dilla's mom about it.

Charles is cool and all but the kid is a brat. he should just stick to making music or staying in the house....and.....Pink Lavalamp isn't a classic, dude. It has some nice songs but it's definitely not a classic.


The chess club thing will be interesting but i think it's too much talent to try to stuff everybody on one track. I think they all just joined because they've all be shoved in the same genre of hipster/nerd rap.

Only nice ones out of Chess Club are Lupe and Blu imo

the rest...

Not Afraid is too sick. I'd even go as far as to say (I'm gonna get a lotta flame for this) his best song ever. Recovery might be up there with TES, MMLP, and SSLP, hell, it already is.

Blu is dope but this ***** hasn't dropped anything even halfway decent since early 08. definitely needs to step it up. i did hear that he wants to do a collabo with budden, though.....

I could care less about all that **** that happened, music is what matters to me. A classic to me is an album where almost every song is **** good, it qualifies for me.

no doubt. fashawn's better than most of those dudes. hope he capitalizes off his success from Boy Meets World. my expectations for Ode to Illmatic dropped once i heard his version of Life's a *****......and then listened to his interview when he talked about it....smh.

i kinda hope they don't seriously try to make a group. collabs would be cool but i think it'd just be labeled as a mediocre attempt by a bunch of hipsters if they all seriously pushed for an album.


@cookieMonsters: I hate asher lol

It's not only his lyrics though, his flow is generally above average, he still maintains beast wordplay and his rhyme schemes are amazing. So it's not like he's not beast as a rapper. It's just on top of that sht his lyrics actually mean **** and have creativity.

I know alot of people who don't care for the beats he rhymes on which is why they're not as into him.

Post Lupe's best tracks, try and persuade me.

...wait you're being genuine too...

Jay Electronica I mean Jay let me play my harmonica I mean Jay my favourite time of the year is Hannukah.

Raekwon makes no sense to me. Dude has one lane.

add Lupe, make a mixtape of the three and I'm in a coma.

But like I said, post Lupe's best tracks, try and persuade me.

Who's heard of YU? He is DOPE. favorite song on his debut is definitely Thought About It. And this came out a month ago! Wordplay and metaphors are insane. Good to know theres still real hip hop out there.

Thought About It <-- click it. you know you wanna...

he always waits til the last minute and takes what he can get, which is sad because i think more of his albums could be hailed as classics had the beats been better smh.

http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2010/05/album-4-album-a-look-at-nas-worst-beat-selections

^worst nas beat on each album lol. there's only one i disagree with(Testify). it wasn't a bad beat, but the **** was out of place.

right now i'm at 7 infractions, i think. i swear they come for dumb reasons smh.

i agree with jane about the track, cookie.

jane, joc is a one hit wonder lol. haven't heard anyting from him aside from his first album. but dope boy magic >>>>

to me beats are like 70-85% of a bangin track.

you can be the greatest rapper ever of all time, but you have trash beats, no amount of ill rhymes are gonna make it sound good.

but on the other hand theres nothing worse than hearing an amazing beat get butchered by some weak clownass mother****er.


but yea its all about the beats.
