Talib made a lot of sense.

I disagree that it's just ''right wing Christian authors'' making noise about it though.

The Candyman analogy was on point.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Yeah, lmao. I already bought my copy.

DR production + Beats By Dre Earphones = Eargasmmmm

AHA i love my beats headphones. <3 them.

 

[Linguini]

**** the beats. Overadvertised, overhyped,and overpriced headphones. My Bose noise cancelling headphones wreck the beats in quality and they cost less.

Distant relatives is dope, got my copy today; def going to be on heavy rotation.

 

[IAmBlu3]

wait. aren't those the 200 dollars headphones?

 

[soap]

im actually headphone shopping too right now.

arent bose more expensive than beats?

i was thinking about shures

 

[Linguini]

When I got them 2 years ago they were 150 at the store.

 

[Jane]

Guini bose headphones are also overpriced, overhyped, and over rated

I own a pair haha, love em, but there is better for less $$

Price range, soap?

 

[Matador]

Wow @ outright bashing my earphones. What'd they do to you?

 

[soap]

im in the 50-150 range. looking for a decent pair of around ear

don't care about the noise cancelling feature, just want some solid bass and acoustics

looking on amazon, there are so many decent looking options don't know where to start, but ideally i'd like to try them first. Problem is best buy only has the super high end bose and beats which are both ~300

then they have a bunch of crap, and not a whole lot of middle ground quality stuff

 

[Linguini]

Guini bose headphones are also overpriced, overhyped, and over rated

Price range, soap?

$100 rebate ftw is all I have to say

Tribes at war is def. my favorite track off DR.

 

[~N9NE~]

At home headphones > earphones

everywhere else earphones > headphones

Got these like two years ago because my earphones kept exploding

I know for a fact they were much cheaper than the stuff you're talking about, and they do the job.

Styles P The Ghost Dub Dime Mixtape

Seems like people didn't see this.

 

[IAmBlu3]

Seems like people didn't see this.

i seen it but i didn't click it. styles can rap but dude is boring.

hmmmm i guess i'll just stick with my 15$ earbuds for now. I love music and all but not willing to pay so much just for extra kick in the headset.

 

[Matador]

Best track off DR is easily Patience

Easily.

Then prolly Strong Will Continue

I REALLY really hope this joint stands the test of time...most of Nas's albums get left gathering dust on my shelf.

@ N9NE: I used to do that with my headphones...dunno why I stopped. Now I only have the earphones that came with my Zune, and the Beats By Dre earphones...I don't take the Beats out the house. Can't hear **** with them on.

 

[IAmBlu3]

^i'm pretty sure it will. not gonna lie, not many nas albums are in my rotation right now. but he always has a couple tracks from each album, with an exception to nastradamus, that i stay blasting . i definitely think this is nas' best album since god's son or stillmatic(although it's a joint album).

 

[Jane]

downloading DR now :DD


soap, here are a couple of my recommendations

i highly recommend any of these

http://www.amazon.com/Ortofon-O2-He...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274296005&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AHD1001...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274296174&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-St...TF8&s=electronics&qid=1274296236&sr=1-1-spell

and when you finally choose which phones you wanna buy, search around the internet for the best deal, theres always good *** deals out there


blu, are they just like shitty ones you get at a store? do yourself a favor and get these

http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX66R-A...7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274296435&sr=1-7

you wont regret it i promise

 

[IAmBlu3]

lol i actually can't stand ear buds. i have the ones that wrap around the ears. not sure what they're called. i used to like headphones but it's like impossible to hear anything with them on. plus, i like to listen to my music while i'm in class. my teachers notice when i have headphones but never say anything about the ear phones

arghhh i still have to wait before i can get DR. jane, go buy it -__-

[IAmBlu3]

i seen that vid earlier. didn't really know how to react cuz i don't really care. this **** happened like down the street from my house lol. i think gucci reacted correctly. not a fan of either of them, but waka could get himself ****ed up tryna take on everyone that says some **** to him. best thing to do: stare at them like "get the **** off my set" and keep it moving.

 

[Jane]

in that case blu, get these, these here are imo the best budget headphones ever created

http://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Po...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274304647&sr=8-1


also lol @ the south

jane, go buy it -__-

 

[Jane]

PK MAO:

k, just finished listening to your project and I LOVED IT. my favs were one love and help me out. but i loved every song except one.

which brings me to my next point, the one song i didnt love, i actually LOVED the beat, in fact it brought me back to the days when i was like 8 years old playing conkers bad fur day. that beat is amazing. but you chose such a bad acapella/song to match to it D: seriously like 230423487 other songs could have worked better.

thats my only complaint, though it did bother me alot

4.5/5 stars :D

 

[~N9NE~]

Yeah I saw that Gucci video.

Grown men acting like *******, especially the dude that was talking so much rubbish. Everyone lost.

 

[IAmBlu3]

alright people. get back to the music suggestions! i'm gettin tired of listenin to my music >__>

hmm, never had an "open" pair of phones. it says they bleed sound slightly. Is this significant?

i listen to music in the library....

We are now BFFs.

 

[Boofy!]

[Suspect]

[PK Mao]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNEUJ08CNnM&feature=player_embedded

i can't stand drake but at the same time i don't think he's worth getting up in arms about, so the way these guys "expose" him is hilarious.

Jane: I responded via PM

 

[Jane]

Matador

Unless you BLAST your music all the time no; hugging your head is enough to basically muffle them completely.

 

[Fire!]

I'll just drop this here for anyone interested...

[soap]

it's like he knew he was about to die

jk of course

i will miss the new material

 

[IAmBlu3]

blu3, u check out that new kweli yet?

really really really not a fan of kweli. his voice irritates me.

You said rubbish.

We are now BFFs.

i dunno. for some reason, he sounded really british when i read that

forgive me for being so late to the party but has anyone heard 88 keys album "Death of Adam"? I just happened to stumble across it somehow and I loved it.. wtf happened to him?

i really didn't like that album. might have to check it out again though. everyone gets a second chance he kind of just fell of the face of the earth. i haven't heard anything about him since either.

kat stack nudies on WSHH lmao

her bod was surprisingly not terrible. that face however......damm. ugh.

I'll just drop this here for anyone interested...

good ****

EDIT: so i didnt know distant relatives was an "african themed" album! sweet!

really? all the profits go to africa, just so you know

Spoiler

and we can guilt trip you into buying it

 

[Luigitoilet]

I hear Distant Relatives kinda sucks and is a huge disappointment.

 

[Jane]

i definitely dig it. put together very well imo, plus different

and sorry blu, but the last album i bought was pink floyd's animals, one of the greatest of all time, and id like to keep that as the "last album i ever bought"

That's a lame *** excuse man. I always make sure I support the artists who's albums I am truly excited for. If you enjoy their music, then do your part and help them keep making it.

 

[Jane]

haha sorry bro, whether lame or not, its just my policy. if an artist wants my money (which i will gladly throw at them) they need to come visit me and sing me some songs ;D

 

[soap]

haha sorry bro, whether lame or not, its just my policy. if an artist wants my money (which i will gladly throw at them) they need to come visit me and sing me some songs ;D

im kinda the same way.

altho it also stems from my laziness to go buy a hardcopy, and i would never buy anything from itunes with their bull**** DRM files

I usually pick up a hardcopy of an album that I like at the show

I agree that torrenting and stealing music is wrong in certain cases. But i still do it....

 

[Jane]

i never buy any albums at the show , but i will always cop a shirt, and any other goodies they have

yeah i agree its wrong, but i just dont care lol. especially because im a member of what.cd and that is just the greatest site in existence

 

[soap]

i guess im just a sucker for the lyrics and album art xD

but original cd's have really good sound quality compared to the average rip u get online as well

well they are getting better nowadays about encoding, but still
