Ok WTF is a Fetty Wap and why do I hear it on the radio?
Been wondering this same thing.
Ok WTF is a Fetty Wap and why do I hear it on the radio?
"Oh the way Glenn Miller played..."Man, I tried to tell you guys earlier in the thread, STAY AWAY FROM THAT S###. This new wave of rap (Fetty/Future/Young Thug) will do nothing but make you question your personal tastes. It's unquestionably the single worst fad to ever develop from hip hop. These dbags make Lil B and SouljaBoy look like Nas.Ok WTF is a Fetty Wap and why do I hear it on the radio?
My 11 year old daughter asked me not to turn the station when its song came on this morning
Holy #### it was horrible! Is that what todays rap is?
I have feel like I have failed as a father because my daughter likes that ####.
If that is what rap has evolved to I am ashamed that I ever liked it
Lost a good one. Even worse that he has a family.:(RIP Sean Price.
I was just listening to "She Knows" a bunch last night. Largely because of the sample, but I liked him also.Of all the young guys, I like Joey Bad### and J. Cole the most. Troy Ave isn't too bad either.
Much needed.New 90s/2000 Rap/R&B channel coming to SiriusXM, so that's a plus.

The em song and the premier song are nice. Rest is totally forgettable IMO.I've only heard 1 track from the new Dr. Dre LP, but I liked it.
Listening to MicTyson right now. RIP to P.
It's so bad. I can't believe there are any positive reviews out there.I'm listening to the new Dr. Dre. album now. It's definitely no 2001. There isn't even one song that can be considered on par with some of the hits on that album.
Same here. Pretty sure it's OK for two year-olds in the car, right?Listening to MicTyson right now. RIP to P.
I'm pretty old school, but open minded to the new stuff as well. I can see why Fetty is making hits, and he's hitting the target market with your 11 year old. I can't really stomach it, though.Ok WTF is a Fetty Wap and why do I hear it on the radio?

Jesus christ, that's a great lineup.Was back in '88, but to this day was one of the best concerts of my life, headlined by Erik B & Rakim:A guy I knew once described Rakim as "the first rapper that made you care what the rapper was actually saying". Rakim and a few others were definitely instrumental in ushering in the "new school".I saw Rakim perform at a small bar last night in Denver (max capacity 500). It was amazing to see the godfather of modern rap in such an intimate setting. He put on a great show. Here is a picture I took from my spot in the front row.
I'm 32 years old now, and I started listening to rap in 1994 back when I was in sixth grade. It was the golden age of rap with 2Pac, Biggie, Outkast, Nas, and Wu Tang being some of my early favorite rappers. Eric B & Rakim mostly preceded my time, and I never owned any of their albums growing up. It wasn't until my freshman year of college when Napster was in its prime that I downloaded the whole "Paid in Full" album. I always respected Rakim as one of the all-time greats, but I don't think I fully understood how revolutionary and groundbreaking he was because I lacked that historical perspective of the pre-Rakim rap era. It wasn't until I was prepping for this show that I started comparing Rakim's style to those of some his contemporaries (i.e., Run DMC, Beastie Boys, etc.) and seeing just how revolutionary his flow and rhyme schemes were at that time and how simplistic and elementary he made his peers' style seem by comparison. Rakim changed the game with "Paid in Full." All of my favorite rappers growing up stood on the shoulders of Rakim. I feel lucky that I had the chance to see one of the all-time greats that truly revolutionized a genre of music.
Biz Markie (was pretty mellow)
BDP (throwing condoms into the crowd)
Ice T (####ed up a cop car on stage)
Doug E Fresh (lots of strobe lights)
Kool Moe Dee (rollin' with a cowboy hat)
Erik B & Rakim (blew the show up!)
Those were the days...
I'm heading to the concert tonight as well. I've never seen Brother Ali or Dilatated Peoples before, but Atmosphere puts on a pretty good show.I'm going to Red Rocks tonight to see Atmosphere, Dilated Peoples, and Brother Ali. It should be a great show.
I'm also planning on going to Riot Fest in Denver on Sunday to see Snoop Dogg perform "Doggystyle" in its entirety, GZA perform "Liquid Swords" in its entirety, and Yelawolf.
I've got a pretty sweet little rap weekend lined up.
I think this was an opportunity for him to sell records due to the promotion of the NWA movie. I'm assuming he didn't use all of the great beats he has supposedly been sitting on for detox. It was like a "come back" album.I would assume he now falls in line with most main stream artist and continues to promote and put out stuff on a regular basis. Do a little more promotion, stay in the news, and drop detox now that he's back on the radar.It's so bad. I can't believe there are any positive reviews out there.I'm listening to the new Dr. Dre. album now. It's definitely no 2001.

All three quality af. Evidence and Raaka from Dilated were throwing out huge buds from a jar last show I was at. Definitely a great show as everyone was 'sharing'.I'm heading to the concert tonight as well.

Yeah. I've sat in parking lots listening to that slang rap. Clipse's Lord Willin' should suffice as one of the greatest albums of the aughts. It's not even close.
Dre really fell off this time.It's so bad. I can't believe there are any positive reviews out there.I'm listening to the new Dr. Dre. album now. It's definitely no 2001. There isn't even one song that can be considered on par with some of the hits on that album.
I use the BandsinTown app, which I love. It pulls all of your favorite artists from Facebook and you can add additional favorite artists, then it alerts you via email and the app when those bands, or other similar bands, announce concerts in your area. You can also scroll through the list of upcoming concerts. It is really useful to keep track of upcoming concerts.What's the best place to keep track of concerts coming to Denver?

When I wasn't able, there was always 'caine.
you got good taste little bruhBuckfast 1 said:I'm pretty excited for the upcoming release of the Big Grams EP, a collaboration between Big Boi from Outkast and Phantogram. The album features guest appearances from Run the Jewels and Skrillex. It should be really interesting fusion of musical styles, as I really enjoy rapping over trippy indie rock beats. They collaborated on a few songs on Big Boi's last solo album including "Lines". They are apparently also going to do a joint tour in support of the album. I've seen both Outkast and Phantogram perform live twice in the past year, and the idea of them performing on stage together sounds incredible. Here is a Pitchfork article about the Big Grams EP that was published today.
New rap confuses me, and I've avoided it for a while as a result, but holy wow I am digging Czarface.... hard. I'm fairly certain it's all in going to listen to for the rest of the weekCan't leave without a few links to some new stuff in the rotation:
CZARFACE feat Method Man - Nightcrawler
World Premier is amazing. Nightcrawler and Czar Guitar are not bad. The rest I'm not really feeling for the most part.Can't leave without a few links to some new stuff in the rotation:
Yeah, I've enjoyed the new Czarface over the first couple listens. There's some great wordplay on some of those tracks.New rap confuses me, and I've avoided it for a while as a result, but holy wow I am digging Czarface.... hard.

Re-visiting the latest album and I like it a lot more than my initial listens. I think that I have a serious expectation problem.New album dropped yesterday. I listened while at work, so not super close. Seemed good, not great, but better than the majority of the past few albums where Stoupe wasn't there. Hoping it will grow on me. Probably nothing will ever live up to Violent by Design, so I will always be disappointed.Yeah, JMT is apparently back to the original duo of Vinnie Paz and Stoupe.Am I safe in assuming that Jus Allah has been officially given the boot from the live shows as well? That guy really sucks.I have actually been eyeing that Jedi Mind Tricks show. One of my favorite local rap groups Flowalition is opening for them in Denver. I was really impressed with Flowalition when they opened for Ghostface and Raekwon last month. Their style should mesh well with Jedi Mind Trick's.Jedi Mind Tricks is coming to Denver on June 10.
I would like to see them in NY but debating whether it is really worth the total cost.
I'm listening to that one now!The first album is better.New rap confuses me, and I've avoided it for a while as a result, but holy wow I am digging Czarface.... hard.

Woo!
The first song from the Big Grams EP was released today. Pretty dope if you ask me.

Same here. I like almost every song. Still listening to it.Can't leave without a few links to some new stuff in the rotation:
I love that he had people thinking he was Nas.
I found a recent EP of his called "Live From Your Mama's House". I'm gonna see if I can get it. Nice find.Haven't heard of this guy until now, but he's in my wheelhouse:
