Damn, see, HubertGAM would be the missing piece for this. Would you be down for this? I know you have your own company but would you be cool with being like an online consultant for this. I appreciate the thought and the vote of confidence, but I don't have much time to devote to this project. It d...

There is no such thing as consultant in hip-hop. There are opportunists and then there are people who have some prior knowledge/experience. I fucked a lot of woman before but I wouldn't call myself a dating consultant. :naswtf: I thought the idea was an effective blog platform for a collection of a...

My worry/question is, is the community here big enough to generate interest outside of itself? Setting up a blog is nice, if just to have a searchable database for material. If I get a cat named Ardamus e-mailing me and I search for him, it would be nice to find others blogging about him on a site t...

Shit... I might even dust off a pencil for this monster of a beat.

It seems you don't read the credits on the records or you are choosing to ignore the historical facts . Off rip, Puffy was (co-)producing his ass off on both Biggie records. If you peep his discography, he's more than just the money man. :arrow: Having your name on the credits means nothing. Ask an...

holy shit that's horrible. how do independent hip hop artists afford this? For the rappers that are supported by trappers (with no real experience in the music industry), this kind of money gets shelled out consistently. That's how some artists get on your commercial radio stations and you cannot e...

Watching the Making the Band series solidified my feeling in this. Dre, Kanye, Rza and Rick are all telling other people how to make songs sound better. That's where their true talent is. Name one project that Diddy has been (executive) produced that is terrible. People get the concept of a produce...

Call me crazy, but I think Diddy is a visionary when it comes to music. This is a fact. No its not. Throw out your ready to die then. Not relevant. Exec producing a classic album and being a musical visionary are not the same thing. It doesnt take a genius to figure that getting Primo, Finesse, Eas...

In preparation for his next album, peep the Bandcamp steez: http://rjd2.bandcamp.com/

I cannot wait to buy the box set. I gotta get my money right first though.

Hey vinyl, can you DM me? I'd like to know more about the site. A dedicated blog post with a link from me could probably come from it, which is always necessary for SEO.

For shits and giggles and laughs: http://www.scribd.com/full/45758570?access_key=key-wj05zup5na04yr7s32i :roll: See, this is why I'm in business. It makes no sense that people drop that kind of money with nothing substantial to show for it. You shouldn't be paying that kind of money for a site that...

This came out of nowhere as far as I Know. Do they have any other albums out?

I've read that they self-released some EPs, but I haven't run across them yet.

Never understood why he wasn't embraced by hip-hop fans earlier in his career. I guess a lot of it had to do with this his look and the type of hip-hop that was big at the time, but Odelay was basically a rap album and a damn good one at that. I think it's political. In the post I did about Phantog...

I'm surprised I don't see more hip hoppers talking about this record. It makes sense somewhat, because it was released on Barsuk, which is an indie rock label. The thing is, this record exudes hip hop sensibility all over the place. From the Dilla-inspired break usage to the loop-y guitar work, this...

Ugh. I'm just really not looking forward to any more of this Detox crap. The radio single is just tired.

Did you guys ever try their HTML5 interactive video? That shit was pretty slick when it dropped.

Have you guys heard this? Ooh wee!

I feel like diggin' up some super underexposed SelfSays / Self Sez material. My boy is the king of the TWO MINUTE SONG. Let me see what I can find.

Common - Like Water for Chocolate (there were only select songs that I liked, really didn't dig the neo-soul steez he converted to) Common - Electric Circus (hated everything about it, now I enjoy it for its groundbreaking production qualities) OutKast - Aquemini Slum Village - Fantastic Vol 1 (had ...

It's pretty awesome to see the Detroit homey getting a 7-page thread about him on here. While he may hate to read some of the stuff in this thread like the fact that I feel Hot Soup [with producer Nick Speed] is better than The Hybrid, this is a testament of how real his buzz is. I hope he finds a w...

was supposed to open for him and killah priest earlier this year on a few different shows. something family related happened and print had to miss the end of the tour, which was when i was a part of it. was pretty disappointed, i'm a big fan of blueprint. dude is very dope. Dez and myself played wi...

^^^What up GAM? Welcome to the :phila: Thanks mate! sample free Big Print fan, but am disappointed by this. Not say that the sample free output has not been dope, because it has. Just miss the samples too. Wish there was a way to balance the two. Regardless, I hope the new record gets him the atten...

As a fan of the absurd, this is my favorite track - Ring Tone (via RCRD LBL) - by these guys. Otherwise, I'm good. Horrible, and I generally like their shit. This girl I've been smashing knows the main MC and apparently he doesn't have an apartment or anything and just crashes diff girls places unt...

print keeps getting better. pretty rare these days... It's good to see that there are others noticing this. Print is one of the rare bread hip hop cats that have actually grow musically over time. When he announced that the Greenhouse material was going to be sample free, I was happy to hear a soli...

Get the fuck outta here.

I second this (e)motion.

Phantogram - Eyelid Movies
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - Horse Power EP
Matthew Dear - Black City

Call me crazy, but I think Diddy is a visionary when it comes to music. He's actually promoting the shit out of this Diddy Dirty Money (worst name ever, by the way), but it is actually quite forward-thinking in terms of its sonic qualities. I felt that Press Play was a little ahead of its time with ...

He's definitely grinded and molded his own sound. And made a smart move with branding on Mellow Music Group. That project with Stik has been done for a minute but he wanted to find the right time to drop the project. From the Top was a sneak surprise for one of the top records of the year. I am def...
