Just got Vinyl Me, Please's release of the month for hip hop. 

It's a reissue for the first time on vinyl of T.I.'s King. The first side of four is worth the price of admission alone.

I'm talking to you... w/Just Blaze!  

 
for the R&B guys - I started this playlist about 6 years ago. It's 760 songs/60 hours of music but I add 1 or 2 a week. Mostly old stuff, but we cover the Isley Brothers all the way to any new stuff that comes out is transcendent. 

IMO it is the definitive R&B playlist on Spotify. I use a smurf account for Spotify and it has 2000 followers which is pretty nuts. 

Enjoy if you like it. If you want newer stuff, sort by date added and look for the more recent additions.

4:41 AM on a Saturday. Went to bed at 8 PM last night, so it's been eight and a half hours. Can't see riding this out. Might as well make it an early morning/early night and enjoy it.  

Ergo, I'm listening to Souls of Mischief and FU - Schnickens for some reason. 

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Limitations

La Schmoove

eta* About to give Madvillainy my first spin. I'm going in.  

eta2* It's wonderfully produced by Madlib, but MF is just too far behind the beat for my liking. I like getting either up on the beat or in it, like Lil' Wayne and Eminem. Lagging behind just doesn't do it for me.

The new 2 chainz album is pretty solid.  He has 9th wonder beats and feature like kendrick, e 40, marsha ambroshios). Give it a listen y’all.  Also smiff n Wesson have a new album.  I haven’t heard it yet but I’m hearing it isn’t bad.

Love almost all of the beats on the album. Don't love his love his flow though. 

 
Sunday night sobriety edition:  Deltron 3030

Yo it's 3030/I want y'all to meet Deltron Zero/And Automator...

I'm loving spinning this today. Del the Funkee Homosapien (The Hieroglyph Master) and Dan The Automator and Kid Koala. This should have blown up like Gorillaz did. It was around the same time and Albarn was involved.  

Vinyl Me, Please's hip hop release/reissue this month is Handsome Boy Modeling School's So...How's Your Girl? Automator turns trip hop into golden beats pretty consistently.

A few years ago was in asbury park with wife and daughter and thought it would be interesting to go to a show at the stone pony.  Deltron was there so I told them that we had to go.  My daughter was pretty interested in watching kid koala scratching as the opener.  Less enthused about the full act, but hung in for a while.  Then my wife took my daughter to the bathroom and some lady had passed out and cracked her head open.  So then we had to go...

This was a great album.  I think it did blow up in the underground but yea would have been cool if it got gorillaz treatment.  This and both sides of the brain...  del was killin it at this time and no one knew.

That's cool. One thing about not having kids is that I don't get to bond with them over stuff that we might be both interested in.

Sounds like a cool night. Well, until you got to the "cracked her head open" part, though I can see that at a show. I hope the woman was okay.

Thanks. Will check it out.

I tried and can't.  Softer than wet cake.  And then I read this and thought it made sense.  Never could get into that music scene:  

NF is signed to a Christian record label, and his music is popular among the Christian music scene

Oh.

Well...I'll still check it out, out of respect to what shady brings to the thread, but thanks for the heads up.

Clipse was always one of my favorite, and I thought, underrated rap/hip hop acts of the aughts.

Malice talks about what led him to leave. I never knew this. *Born again warning*

Can you imagine?

Love me some Clipse primarily b/c of the Neptunes but they're ill regardless.  

Was listening to an older album by Slim Thug that many forget was mainly produced by the Neptunes.  Some bangers on there if you like that early 2000 Clipse sound.   Love Pharrell's verse on this one:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqlxg8yqTR4

That song was sweet. Didn't the Neptunes work with N.O.R.E./Noreaga, too?

Loved this track.

I dunno. It doesn't sound like Christian music to me at all. Yeah he doesn't curse. Im not a religious person at all and I dig it.

Here are some of NF's softer than wet cake Christian rap songs :eyeroll:

Real

Therapy Session

Intro

Warm Up

WHY

Wake Up (ok the chorus for this one is a bit soft but the verses arent)

FYI- I have no idea why this guy has videos for every song

Never heard of this guy.  He sounds a lot like em(i hate comparing people but his flow is the same).  Not sure how i feel about that.  I’ll give one of his projects a spin.  What should i check out?

Thanks, shady. Listened to Real and Therapy Session and Intro. I'm not sure what to say because it has the modern trap sort of "woot!" lyrical patterns that have sort of passed me by. I don't hear too much Eminem; his flow just sounds more like just sort a typical modern rapper (Which is partially because Eminem and trap changed the game...). But it doesn't strike me as overtly Christian. Then again, it doesn't strike me as uniquely provocative or fresh, though. 

I don't know. I guess if you like it, you like it. I will say this, though. The song "Intro?" The video makes we want to go knocking on one of those house's doors hoping to get served with something nicely illicit.  

But thanks for sharing, man. I'm always on the lookout and ready to try new ####.

Surprised you never heard of him as his song Let You Down that put him on the map 2 years ago went 3x platinum. He has 3 albums. Im not really sure good vs bad. I just shuffle his songs on Spotify and pretty much like them all.

The world of rap moves fast

People spent the twentieth century obsessed with the future. We created technologies that would help connect us faster, gather news, map the planet, and compile knowledge. We strove for an instantaneous network where time and space could be compressed. Well, the future’s arrived. We live in a continuous now enabled by Twitter, email, and a so-called real-time technological shift. Yet this “now” is an elusive goal that we can never quite reach. And the dissonance between our digital selves and our analog bodies has thrown us into a new state of anxiety: present shock.

Tee Grizzley is rapping about something else than weed in KY, IMO. Check the name.  

Eminem's album ain't quite an oldie to this oldster yet, but that is what it is and and the rap game does move fast. Killer track, The Ringer. I was all over that last year as being trap fresh. 

I love both your and LBL's position. Something to think about.  

 
I mentioned my fear of non-Czarface new rap before, but I stumbled upon Epic Beard Men a few weeks back, and after a bit of a deep dive over the weekend I am pretty excited about their album coming out on Friday.  Everyone else thinks they are great, right?

 
Young Black N#gga trapped and he can’t change it 
Know he a genius , he just can’t claim 
Cause they left him no platforms to explain it 
He frustrated so he get faded  ~ NIPSEY
