when you say decent  u mean 3.5/4-5. There has definitely been some 4/5 albums this year. No classics but 4/5s.

If you can't even find one decent release, your expectations are in the level of Illmatic or you just don't know what to search besides mainstream.

LOL, this is why "hip hop is dead", nobody can appreciate anything that gets put out.

Cam'ron releases wack music & people on this board who wouldn't anticiapate Quik/Kurupt, Eminem, Jay-Z, etc cannot wait for Cam to rap about cookies & milk or whatever.

Padded Room - 5/5
Relapse - 4/5
Blaqout - 4.25/5
Blackout II - 4/5
So Far (Inverse) - 4/5 (sick group that you probably don't know about because if you did this thread wouldn't be around lol).

& i'm definatly forgetting some more.

ON THE WAY...

Xzibit
50 Cent
Slaughterhouse
Joell (solo)
Royce (solo)
Crooked I (solo maybe)
Joe Budden mixtape (as good as any album out)
Joe Budden album due X-Mas (might be better than his 5/5 album already lol)
Jay-Z

i am definatly forgetting mad people but you guys add if you want. there is good music out their if you just dig a little bit for it.

P.O.S "Never Better"

i don't know what's going on with the Jelly Roll-produced one, but he is suppose to be droppin' another solo album with some tracks possibly produced by Dre.

honestly, i don't know if it will see 2009, but Xzibit said it would & he isn't concerned about sales so i don't see it getting pushed back; but at the same time i do. :P

I actually thought a lot of dope music dropped this year...

Joe Budden
Jadakiss - his album grew on me A LOT
Slim Thug
UGK
Rick Ross - I don't care what anybody says, this album was dope
Cam'ron
Eminem - it's not his best work but it's better than most of the bullshit on BET
Method Man & Redman
Red Cafe - a mixtape, but I bump it almost daily
DJ Quik & Kurupt
Brotha Lynch Hung - mixtape again, but dope shit
The Jacka
50 Cent - that War Angel LP he just dropped ain't bad
Willy Northpole - just heard some of this album on the stream, shit is fire

and then Kid Cudi, B.o.B, Raekwon, Fabolous, Clipse, Slaughterhouse, Yukmouth, Spice 1, Tha Dogg Pound and mad others are all supposed to drop this summer

you mean,how many times I listen to each album before I decide what tracks I'll keep?
it depends,but usually a couple of times.
if it's about my;

Ratings roughly based on how many tracks I kept from each album.



which means those ratings ain't accurate.... but you sort of get the picture.  ;)


Damn that's a lot of music to listen too!


you tell me  :P :P :P :laugh:
I listen to music 24-7,the only time I take a break is when I eat.  :P :P
I try to check just about everything that drops.  :P... I skip "whitey"  :stir: rap though... waste of time for my ears.  :P

Just because you idiots don't listen to decent hip hop doesn't mean it isn't out there. I'm reasonably satisfied with this year.

I'm currently bumping Eyedea and Abilities - By The Throat, OB4CL2, Antipop Consortium - Fluorescent Black. And that's just this week.

This is what I always tell people. When you have the time & passion to listen to music, you will find tons of great music...you just gotta search for it harder than these "big name" releases.
Haven't checked that Eyedea yet, gonna listen to right now.

By "Whitey Rap" I'm guessing you mean the super commercial bullshit? lol.


nope...  ;)


I like that way of rating though, based on what tracks you actually keep


But it can be way off..... lets say you keep 6 tracks out of 10,and the tracks is just above average. Does it still deserve 3/5?

yeah,but this is the reason Hip hop is dieing.
Fans is the ones killing it,supporting their favorite artists no matter what.
Snoop wont do g-shit,Fat Joe wont get back with DITC and so on,and so on.... as long as "we" keep supporting the crap they're doing these days.

Speaking of Fat Joe and his new album,I kept two tracks: Blackout (feat. Swizz Beats & Rob Cash) and.......

  :o :o :o :o :o Porn Star (feat Lil Kim)  :o :o :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D ;D :-X :-X :-X :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Let me recommend a dope album from 09 while we're at it;

might be my favorite album so far in 09  ;)
Magnificent Ruffians - Elevated Ruffians
(http://i31.tinypic.com/2qurjmg.jpg) (http://www.freestylemadness.com/blog/?p=18951)
produced, recorded, designed, mixed and mastered by ELEVATED SOUL.
http://www.myspace.com/elevatedsoul
http://www.myspace.com/magnificentruffians
http://www.myspace.com/elevatedruffians
http://www.reverbnation.com/elevatedsoul


I picked out a couple of my favs from their album;
Magnificent Ruffians - Elevated Ruffians (Vader's favs) (http://www.mediafire.com/?ntlywgdtqz5)
Tracklist;
-Culture (Hip Hop)   (read again; Hip Hip CULTURE)
-I Can't Lose (fuck the garbage)
-I Can't Understand (fuck the garbage part 2)
-Our Love (for gangster rap)  ;D ;D ;D   (you will love this one D-Nice  :laugh: :laugh:)

listen to the lyrics,you might learn a thing or two about real Hip Hop.
Now take your wak ass shit and put em up your asses  :stir: :stir: :stir:

alternative rap...


non-gangsta rap? How is that whitey? The majority of black people are not gangsters. Hell, the majority of rappers are not gangsters either. You are missing out on some of the greatest hip hop music ever created.

The biggest audience for gangsta rap is white kids from suburbia who grew up during the 90s. Nuff said.

true... maybe I should have said super alternative.  ;)


I honestly don't know what you mean by that. How can you get more alternative than Doom, a rapper who rhymes shit that doesn't even make sense?

Post by: Chad Vader on September 27, 2009, 09:48:14 PM
Lol yeah Doom is the king of alternative


nerd rap... he used to be straight Hip Hop though,remember KMD?
He's not on my radar,but not on my "hate" list either.  ;)

But looks like I need to make clear this up,alternative rap is for the most part "whitey" rap.
I have made some interesting observations at Hip Hop shows throughout the years.

I can remember only two Hip Hop shows on top of my head where I was the only "whitey",TQ and a Lloyd Banks show :o :o :o
Ain't that something?

And how many colored did I (for example) see at a De La show? that's right,shit is reversed.  :P (been to a couple of their shows)

As far as gangster rap shows,what gangster rap? gangster pop?
The crowds at Cube,Snoop,The Game etc. shows is pretty mixed.  :P


So what is the "whitey" rap I stay clear from?
 :puke: Rawkus records type of shit  ;)

Big L? Pharoah Monche? Black Star? Common? Kool G Rap? Panacea? RA? You are missing out on some great artists.

I don't think Ice Cube has very much of a less white fanbase than these rappers. I've seen his concerts. Current gangsta pop has more black audience (Lil Wayne, TI, etc). But if you go to any old school gangsta rap concerts you're guaranteed to see a whole lot of white people.

Plus I know for sure that Del and Doom don't have any less of a white audience than Mos Def and Talib Kweli.

I said type of shit
-Big L and Pharoah Monche; is straight
-Kool G .Rap; altough he was signed,I think few thinks of Rawkus when you mentions G.Rap. Juice crew legend


Hate;
