Time Machine - Personal Ads (ft. Romen Rok)

From the Slow Your Roll album. My favorite track by them and one of the defining songs of 2005.
"HELLO?!... oh yeah, hi, this Yolanda..."

You're straight ouf of a comic book, man. Another dope moment in hip hop created by the original space alien T-dot

From what I remember he was mostly known to be prolific... Recorded a new song every day for at least a year and put out an album like every three weeks it seemed like...

Ecko vs Triple 5 Soul Who you got? admiral I think you're acting a little dopey in this discussion, you need to calm down. And some of y'all are exposing yourselves to not have a clue what Jay-Z is doing right now... Dude's onto something ELSE in the past years... I'll fall back until anyone bites ...

One thing about "Ether" though... You can't just sit there like Dids and listen to it sonically, like snapping your fingers to the beat and chuckling at some snappy line here and there... You've got to remember the seriousness of the situation, Jay was the obvious winner the day before "Ether" dropp...

Takeover is a better diss record (moreso because of Prodigy getting destroyed), but Nas still took the W due to the effect of Ether: 1. Forcing Jay-Z into 2 missteps. Leaking the original version of "Don't You Know," then pulling it after one night and releasing "Superugly" instead which he grossly...

Eric B & Rakim's farewell album from 1992 now stands to be considered as their best, argues Angus Batey http://thequietus.com/articles/08972-eric-b-and-rakim-dont-sweat-the-technique Couldn't copy + paste the essay but definitely worth the read... Stay with the Tupac story intro, it pays off massiv...

Whenever I hear the word "lyricist", Illogic comes to mind. That's either good marketing or indicative of quality rhymin'. It's probably both but started out with works like "Me vs Myself", "Hate In A Puddle", "Write For What", "Angel" and all these poetical cuts. I respect him and I've publically e...

Peasant Symphony didn't even break 1000? Public Diary didn't sell more than 1000 at the time?

I hope I'm misunderstanding because that'd be seriously fuck'd up. Peasant Symphony is essential.

I like the beat-change-up treatment Kanye gives to himself though, sort of like Em used to do on D-12 tracks. Btw, 2 Chainz basically stole my rhyme from an upcoming single (written in 2010 but I'm waiting on the perfect beat)... It's too late to put it out first but I'll just quote mines right now....

I really did, I'd never heard anything about it and was just offered the pre-screening (just started working in a movie theater). Can't say it was too crazy expecting a gloomy documentary but it was cool to switch frame of mind as the movie started. It was entertaining for sure and when there's that...

I went to a pre-screening of Chernobyl Diaries yesterday, assuming it was a documentary... Obviously it wasn't... I'm not a horror movie buff by any means but some quick thoughts: Awesome setting, but the writing in this movie is dumber than anything I've seen in a while with some terrible plot-hole...

Had it saved on Favorites and just read it.... Some of my original resentment for this album just awoke :bunk: The aftermath section has a good point but FUCK Steve Stoute and FUCK Trackmasters as a staff, record label and as a motherfucking crew, for being so manipulative at the time and taking too...

Peace to Rakim but I was listening to The Seventh Seal for the first time this monday. Couldn't even keep skipping after #5

Kool G Rap for me but looking at the stats I should have gone with KANE (who'll be performing here in three days, btw. Mm, mm, mm (nh)).

This is the kind of project GZA does best. That Chess-themed album he did with Muggs some years back was some of his best work. Liquid Swords 2 with a renewed focus would be ill, but this is a good move too. Dude always thrived when he had a challenge (and some crack cocaine for the delivery but tho...

Thanks Req... This video is NICE...

Hey, that's Destiny at the end. How many tracks has she been mentioned in so far:

Life Is Like A Dice Game
The World Is Yours
Book Of Rhymes
Me & You
Daughters

Any others?

close but nah

I agree, but Esco, what's your top 3 on Watch The Trone?

These are unmistakably Devin beats... Cool EP, didn't need a skit on a 6 track disc though imo... That being said, somewhat enjoyed this STREAM (nh) for a first listen.

The MTV-video is blocked at my current undisclosed location. Fuck... Anyway, two other relevant videos: The Real 136 recently sat down and made an OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT about the new Nas album: <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6R4yWWuREkU?version=3...

Outkast - Git Up, Git Out Run DMC - Raising Hell De La Soul - Dog Eat Dog A Tribe Called Quest - Check The Rhime N.W.A. - 100 Miles and Runnin' Public Enemy - Bring The Noise Wu-Tang Clan - Da Mystery of Chessboxin' Mobb Deep - Hell On Earth Ultramagnetic MC's - Chorus Line Geto Boys - It Ain't Shit

Biggie "My Downfall" Big is solid if unremarkable on this but puff delivers one of the best vocal performances in rap history. :lol: :lol: Nas - Get Down Jay-Z - Already Home Rakim - Microphone Fiend Ice Cube - Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It KRS-ONE - Somebody 2Pac - Fuck All Y'all (the version on R U S...

50's got a select few good tracks (the ones I said and a lot of earlier material and features), I just can't get into all these obnoxious stale beats and formulatic hooks/verses he likes doing so much. After some youtube searches, even the tracks a lot of you posted suffer from that imo (only "The P...

T.R.O.Y. is like clockwork with 13 different samples coming together like one... This was just a SHIT BEAT by Lupe*.

* = That no name producer just pushed a few buttons, it was Lupe reaching from behind him orchestrating the real work imo.
