Is that out yet? From the headline I read it sounded like it came out today, but I haven't seen it.

[ficklecycle]

It came out yesterday. Not sure if in stores or online.

[Sushov23]

I like a lot of Currensy's material, but he is putting out too much material. By a lot of material I mean, he isn't editing himself enough. So much filler on a lot of his albums/ep's/mixtapes over the last two years or so.

Shady Blaze dropped an amazeballs new project a couple days ago:

Green Ova continues to deliver.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I wish this was better than it is...

[GolfWang]

^yeah when I first saw that Mos Def had covered that song I was really excited. And then I heard it.



Three rappers that I like have released albums/mixtapes/whatever-the-fucks in the past couple days:

Don Trip - Guerilla
Boldy James - Consignment
Perrion - From Paris With Love

The Don Trip is definitely my favorite rap release of the year so far.

[ods..]

Thanks for the reccs, gonna check them out

Are/were any of you guys fans of MYSTIKAL?
I was feeling nostalgic and remembered he was such an awesome rapper (but then he forced a girl to suck his peen and went to jail for a few years, but now he's out).

Anyhoo, even before he made it big with SHAKE YA ASS and all that, he was the best rapper on the No Limit horde of artists.

They had a lot of songs with a bunch of artists on the same track, and he'd always put them to shame.

He reminds me of Nicki Minaj in the sense that a voice and delivery can really make you stand out.

/cool story bro

I invite you to listen to these 2 songs. Mystikal has the last verse on both tracks and the effect is best if you listen in full to see just how bad all the others were (with the exception of Mia X).

(and yes, I'm aware for the most part, NO LIMIT and such were generally shit rap music of the 90s)

[GolfWang]

^^Supposedly Mystikal is working on a new record with some production from Mannie Fresh (which is kind of a big deal if you know the history between No Limit and Cash Money.) I'm not the biggest fan of Mystikal himself but I'm really interested to see what this album sounds like with new Mannie Fresh production. Definitely one of my all-time favorite hip-hop producers.

[HunterGather]

Yeah I heard about that (Cash Money also signed Busta Rhymes as well).

It's a bit funny how he used to rep No Limit, then left to go solo for a few years, then to Cash Money.

Oh, and I thought Mannie wasn't affiliated with Cash Money anymore (?) I haven't followed the history with that.
His best productions came from Lil Waynes first album, B.G.'s "Checkmate" and Juveniles "400 Degreez".

Yeah, he's not anymore. Many of those mid/late 90's Cash Money albums were so damn good, a lot of it having to do with Mannie's production. 400 Degreez is a classic in my eyes.

[Neighborhood Creep]

Loved 400 Degrees, front to back. I liked most of Juvy back then. G Code, Soulja Rags, Project English and Juvy the Great. Never listened to anything after that one though

[HunterGather]

HA had one of the sickest beats then.
I'm listening to THA BLOCK IS HOT album now, and all of these Mannie productions are ace.
And lol @ how every Cash Money album was basically a compilation album. They all did various guest appearances on each others albums.

*better than BLING BLING* The sound effects during the chorus (it's different each time) are dope (is what my teenage self thought).
I can spit Waynes verse like it's nothing

[HunterGather]

HippityHip, it's like we share the same brain.

DOWN 4 MY N's was so silly and over the top. I love on Magics verse when the gun shots blast.
And Southside N's is one of the best tracks on that Silkk album. Not sure if I could ride around and blast it, though...

Ut oh, my inner southern-rap-fanboy is coming out.

[Mr. Porter]

After watching several interviews and listening to each of their stuff, I have found respect for Future and 2 Chainz, more so Future. Astronaut Status is so damn infectious from beginning to end.

haha for sure. No Limit was chill back in the day.

[bmack86]

New El-P track. I really dig it. It's pretty damn upbeat.

[SoulDischarge]

I am excite.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I fucking love Mannie Fresh. Probably my favorite producer, all things considered...

Look at this shit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannie_...on_discography

Mannie Fresh more or less got fucked over by Birdman, I don't know the details but it explains why Birdman has so much money.

[Mr. Porter]

How's the new Wiz mixtape?

[GolfWang]

I dunno, but the KRIT project that dropped a few days ago is nice as fuck.

Also, Chief Keef anyone?

[ods..]

Love the Krit mixtape. Also been playing the fuck out of Lil Ugly Mane's tape, the beats are insane.

[sonofhal]

So, what do people think of the Quakers song?
