Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

I didn’t even hear the clip
But as soon as I saw Cam I already knew how it was going to go so I skipped it
And let the comments affirm what I already thought

Khaled really paid his dues

I remember seeing him at the record store back in the 7th. I've never understood how he claims Miami when he left the City (New Orleans) in his early 20s.

That Cam "interview" wasn't it. That was embarrassing.

Is this a reach?

After Kendrick says the Daft Punk line in Euphoria and the beat switch, is he rapping over a sample from a Daft Punk song “Forget The World”? I kinda hear it…

Saw this on TikTok

i saw the tiktok too, i listened to the song and didn't really hear it.. but hardcore daft punk fans are saying it's the song. wouldn't be surprised

It was a strange move agreeing to appear to discuss a serious subject like domestic violence and acting like a clown to self-promote. He had such a layup appearance to promote his own brand and he looked like a disgusting clown.

Every time the mother of my kids need my help I sing this hook lol

Where the hell that joint he put at the end?

That last part was the interlude on his EP



He's never missed on an interlude or outro to this day

Sorry for the TikTok post…

The album as a whole is a classic, but I get what he’s trying to do. He trippin taking My Downfall off., probably my favorite song from the album. I Love The Dough was a banger for me when the album dropped. Nasty Boy my ! That beat was and BIG killed it. Another One is a song I mess with, guess from experience of some toxic relationships lol. Definitely trippin cutting the R. Kelly joint. I agree with Last Day being cut. I know Hypnotize is a classic, but I’d probably leave it off. And I never cared for Going Back to Cali.

Random. But Big Daddy Kane is a perfect example of how one should age gracefully in hip hop. Hearing also about his touring, and how he’s been able to have such a legendary career, and pick and choose when he wants to be in the light is fire. Going to go back and check some old **** out.

Anybody got some recs (more underground ****)?

No recs, but I’d argue the old school acts are a million times better than most artists from 00’s on. Can’t think of one old school act I’ve personally seen that didn’t bring a high level of energy, clarity in their words, and just overall showmanship.

[southernhospita]

Whose idea was it to start off disc 2 of
“Life After Death” with the song Notorious Thugs
I’m positive he didn’t get a raise our probably didn’t even get paid but it was well deserved

 

[rolaholic]

Apparently they just played Not Like Us at the sold out Meg show at MSG and the crowd went crazy

Gonna post the video when I see one

*found it

you’re just a butter knife, I’m a machete
Ain’t no half steppin

And the old dudes know how to throw down. Cypress Hill still one of the best live acts I’ve seen across genres
