Might seem silly to be reviewing the media we've consumed from this year when we've just now reached the midway point but it helps to break the math in half. This is not the thread for singles, we already have threads for those. This is for longer projects. What have you heard? What have you been me...

Super Mario Maker 2 has been out for a year now, that still keeps my interest on a regular basis. Did a write-up for the anniversary here: https://massmediaconsumption.blogspot.com/2020/06/year-anniversary-of-mario-maker-2.html (It features a list of YouTubers I like, an infographic I did, and a You...

Thanks bruv. Life is crazy and the response so far is tepid but I have some ideas. Including more from this series, continuing with 1990. We'll see how long that takes me with my skill set.

If you can ignore the godawful default Blogger template (and I know you can't, I'll fix it later), I made a "what the hell does this non-DJ think he's doing butchering Paul Revere" mix of the songs in this thread from the eighties. And it's under half an hour if anybody wants to check it. Considerin...

Great call. (Late 2008 I think.)

Seems like a good time to bump this. Still think of ones to add to the list from time to time. So here's the latest batch: Boogie Down Productions - Bo! Bo! Bo! (1989) MC Shan - Time For Us to Defend Ourselves (1990) N.W.A. - SA Prize (1990) 2Pac - Trapped ft. Shock G (1991) 2Pac - Violent (1991) W....

Yeah like I said, that'd be my only personal gripe, solid throughout.

Ah, never had even heard of either of them I don't think, so I just assumed they were from around the way as well.

Great reason to throw a comp together. Plays nicely too. Well done, projects like these are not an easy task. Was gonna give props to Cryptic as well. And yeah, didn't see anyone listed that's not from Strong Isle. As far as SmooVth goes, it's cool that he gave you some unreleased tracks but nobody ...

Yup. First future classic album of the new decade.

The remix by The Beatnuts does get misattributed to Pete Rock every once in a while.

Here's a 320.

I honestly almost skipped it over entirely with that name and artwork combo. The third track here, Crosses , is the one that first caught my ear. "Fentayl flow, you bit off more than you can chew. / My daughter wearin' chinchillas to the pettin' zoo." "Don't make me go throw on my bigga chain. / In ...

INCOMING TL;DR RAP ANALYSIS: He's still signed to Busta's label, right? Still haven't heard anybody talk about this dude, despite the Roc Marci co-sign. Didn't make much of an impression on me when (looking back) I must've first heard 'em, back in one of the '16 BET Hip Hop Award Cyphers. He's outta...

Thanks for lettin' me for having my fingerprints all over this project (no corona). It was interesting to "witness" the process a bit.

This is 192. Swore I had a better rip somewhere but can't seem to locate it right now. My email is harlemsfinest139@gmail.com if ya need anything else.

Don't know where a zip of that Best of the Rest comp is but I should have all those tracks somewhere on the main drive if nobody comes up with it.

1996 - A Star is Born
1998 - Uptown Connection
1999 - Furious Anger
2008 - Tommy Gibbs Collection, The

Both parts (the original and the addendum with the remixes, now including the once-missing DJ Damage & DJ Pone 8 Remix of East Ta West from '98), plus two "new" 192 CBR YouTube MP3 rips of these tracks as a bonus:

BigSleep where you at?

You know me, I'm just
But yeah, I'm a fan of that ABC track, definitely a return to form.

No idea about the origins of the rip.

Lookin' fresh. Been back lurking for a minute but one thing that took me dumb long to figure out though, and this might help get others back who might be thinking the boards are still down: When Gloss initially posted on Twitter that the forums were back, instead of clicking the link he provided, wh...

Think it's mainly just the Kenny Beats connection but I could be wrong. Also, I don't ever really need / want to hear Freddie sing. Not that he's particularly bad at it or anything, it's just not his strength.

As mentioned earlier, bonus points for music videos.

And another: U.S. Wrath – Operation Mountain Top (1998)

Yeah it's irrelevant from our standpoint exactly the way cops initially get wind of their subjects, though it is refreshing to have varied examples that aren't all the usual drug stories and / or same violent crime setups, and that one is definitely different. More of a realization / closing-in than...

Think it's another nice one for the list, thanks. And you're right, with this topic it's rarely done so mellow, makes for a good juxtaposition.

Anyone have Big Kwam's "Verbalized Raw Skillz" comp? https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zRnZBM_8e3c/UYb0g8eYNDI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/TaBPBMKORUU/s1600/00-big_kwam_-_raw_skilz__verbalized.jpg I mean, yeah, but considering I did it first, more complete, and in higher quality, I'll do one better, here's everything: Bi...

Great additions fellas, finally put 'em on the page one pile with the others. Really didn't realize when I started this how many of these were gonna be from Wu, Ghost in particular. He certainly seems to be the reigning king regarding this subject matter. Which, as a top storyteller with a long and ...
