Unpopular opinions
-
The reason first albums are sooo good are exactly the reason MM stated. So fresh and raw, unexpected. Plus they had years to put it together. J said that reasonable doubt was like 18yrs in the making lol. Makes sense

Since this is Unpopular Opinions…
Kanye is unlistenable. After one listen of Watch The Throne, I turned it off and will never listen to him again. Nor Hova.
Remember when hip hop was more than just a catalogue of how much awesome shit you had?
-
^Whole heartedly disagree.

the great rap debate
i dont enjoy kanye's newer stuff
and his all around shittiness have tainted earlier work for me as well
i'm still a firm believer that the 36 chambers is the best hip hop album by a group
and ready to die is the best by a solo artist
and to the claim the jay-z only had one good album?
are you shitting me ?
his entire catalog is good
i'm not saying its the most thought provoking music
but its fun
and the black album was awesomeand on the notion that the first album by anyone is there best
thats basically ALL of music -
I don't always listen to rap…
But when I do, it was someone else's idea.

Im with you Nate. Every line of what you said I was nodding my head. It would be very interesting if Mr Wallace was still with us. Would he have been caught up further in the Jay-Z Kanye phenomenon? Who knows. I would like to think if he were around, Jay-Z would be a different person altogether.
And re Kendrick MM, I think he's the best of the last few years, by a long ass way.
Honourable mentions to Danny Brown and A$AP Rocky. Fresh, new.

funny mclain,
i love earlsweatshirt & nipsey hussle but now we would be getting into a music talk.
best rap group album would have to go to a tribe called quest midnight marauders or outcast aquemini.
best solo i'll get back to you in the correct thread . . . if i can really give it thought.this thread is for hate & discontent being spread out
so to get back to it, i don't want winter/cold weather to end. don't get me wrong, i hate snow more than anyone i know, but the general cooler weather is the sh!t, fuck the sand & beaches. give me a cold city street & i'm happy mofo, most people look way better dressed than in short sleeves & chicken legs. makes it easier to talk to folks if they scrawny legs is covered
while i'm at it you shouldn't wear muscle shirts if you haven't seen a gym/exercise since the last time the olsen twins was on full house

Me & my ni@&a we roll together like Batman & Robin
we prayed together through hard times
and swung hard when it was fitting
But now we tappin' the brakes from all them corners that we be bending
in Volkswagens & Bonnevilles Chevrolets and Coupe De Villes
If you ain't got no rims ni&$a don't get no wood grain
steering wheel for real.Favorite rap verse ever. Monday will know it right away
Ok I'm done although I could talk all day about good rap music….
-
Tribe, de la soul, outkast, public enemy, Eric b and rakim, run DMC, beasties, krs one, nwa, snoop, bigs, tupac, ultramagnetic…
We have a terrific scene in Minneapolis too
-
Also love Brother Ali and Heiruspecs among others. It's a surprising scene.
-
krs one is the business
I'm a fan of Crooked I too…
He did a series of weekly freestyles a few years back. He did a whole year of them, every week. dope.

Unpopular opinion of the morning. Y'all need to shut the fuck up about rap and move it to its own thread
-
^I don't think that's an unpopular opinion…
