[McCloud]

he had a song with andre. his label blocked it from being on the album for who knows what reason. track's called royal flush, i believe. his label's been ****ing him over for a while. he actually made shutterbug and general patton in 2006...

He and Dre have a contract for one more album on their label, and that's what prevents them from doing stuff together on a solo album cause the label was waiting to release Big's album, so he left as a solo artist and signed with (Def Jam I think? Or Bad Boy, etc) but any song with the two together would qualify as a 'Kast song.

Still, Big wanted to do his thing alone and without Dre as far as I heard. Which is better for him cause he's always taken a backseat to Dre in my mind.

So I got Drake's Thank Me Later. Oh god, no. I didn't buy it. It's not finished downloading yet. But do you what do you think about it?

Check pages 70-77. Jane and I love it. I didn't at the beginning, but it really grows on you melodically. It's not a rap album. He's got like half his songs singing. Shut it Down ft. The Dream, Up all Night, and Show Me A Good Time are the dopest tracks on there.

 

[IAmBlu3]

I actually really liked the whole album, personally. I listened to it for about a week and, yeah, it's a grower. I can go the whole way without skipping a track.

Does anyone here listen to Little Brother? I don't but they're supposed to be having a concert around my place so i figured i should go. Could really use some suggestions...

 

[o-Serin-o]

McCloud, are you on 40 PPP?

 

[McCloud]

40 PPP?

If you're asking if I'm bored, yeah. >_> Waiting on lunch from my aunt, lol

 

[o-Serin-o]

40 posts per page.

As in, 40 posts before a new page.

 

[McCloud]

Harrumph. I post a lot less than other people in here

 

[~N9NE~]

lol I'm on page 155.

Never checked LB, always meant to, but I only hear good things about them, should be a good show. 9th is no longer with them though right?

 

[McCloud]

<_> Ohhh, I get it now. Yeah, I'm on 40 PPP. I thought you were insinuating that I post a lot XD

 

[o-Serin-o]

LMFAO @ Harrumph.

Who makes that noise? xD

 

[IAmBlu3]

9th is no longer with them though right?

that sounded like an obituary. but yeah, 9th left the group. from what i've read, they just put out they're last group album and are all gonna be on a blackstar type of hiatus.


this song is dope though. i think it's the beat....
Little Brother - Lovin' It

[~N9NE~]

Just checked Emilio Rojas, pretty decent.

 

[IAmBlu3]

[Jane]

yeah LB is fuxing dope. i recommend all of their albums. go see them

 

[Jane]

also, MY favorite songs on tml is fancy (because of the second half of the song) and miss me because wayne kills it imo.

"man i swear my *****es do it til they suck the brown off// uhhhhh, thats nasty// yes i am weezy but i aint asthmatic"

 

[cookieM0Nster]

okay i got my Black Star concert tickets. Its at Fox Theater in Oakland and i have pretty high expectations.


and little brother is good, but i only go to concerts when i REALLY like the artist(s).

 

[McCloud]

I like Fancy because Alicia Keys posted a picture of her all dolled up and sexy on twitter with the #ohyoufancyhuh tag.

Yes, Alicia, you are very fancy. Got. Dam.

 

[soap]

i thought waynes verse on TML was horrible...

or maybe i just wasn't in a wayne mood at the time. I was on the beach listening to the album straight thru. He doesn't really fit

i'll give that track a solo play and come back

 

[IAmBlu3]

"man i swear my *****es do it til they suck the brown off// uhhhhh, thats nasty// yes i am weezy but i aint asthmatic"

that had me laughing when i first heard it. i have a couple favorite songs form the album though.

and little brother is good, but i only go to concerts when i REALLY like the artist(s).

it's only 18 bucks

I like Fancy because Alicia Keys posted a picture of her all dolled up and sexy on twitter with the #ohyoufancyhuh tag.

Yes, Alicia, you are very fancy. Got. Dam.

i'm gonna need you to repost that pic...

edit - ****nn I just found out about the whole Alicia-Swizz-Mashonda (wifey) drama. Her letter to AK was legit...

AK is the Angelina Jolie of R&B, lol.

 

[~N9NE~]

You guys will get over TML soon.

Alicia ain't all that.

Blu I'm checking that Big KRIT tape.

 

[McCloud]

Big got booed at an NY set recently. North is really disrespecting South lol.

 

[IAmBlu3]

Alicia looks like a mannequin in that pic.

@N9NE: the mixtape's pretty solid but there's only a few tracks i'd rock wit in my ipod.

@McCloud: damm. that's messed up. just disrespectful lol. ny's really gotta step down off their pedestal every now and then.

 

[~N9NE~]

the only thing i have from Fashawn is BMW and some random mixtape that i haven't listened to. not really sure if i want to check anything out outside of his albums.

i, too, have been looking for new artists. i kind of resorted to checking out all the old artists and see what's so spectacular about them.

 

[McCloud]

Nahright.com is the go to. Rappers check it, so I'm there. Killerhiphop is cool too.

Anyone got any info on Remy?

Never heard of Remy, but heard of Prince EA. Dude is nice but the subject matter about how everyone needs to step up their intellect gets old. That said, I haven't heard anything from him but random vids. I know people love him but there's those that critique his delivery and ability to make actual songs.

 

[IAmBlu3]

Krit's 'Hometown Hero' is getting a lot of plays right now. song is amazing.

rappers have to push intellect in rap so they can confuse people as to whether they're actually saying some **** or not.......

 

[~N9NE~]

J. Cardim – Hood 2 f. Sheek Louch, Sha Stimuli & Joe Budden

J Cole - Premeditated Murder
