Rap/Hip-Hop Thread

Post » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:54 pm

Hi and welcome to the Rap/Hip-hop thread. There were some problems in that last thread which ended up with it being deleted but, with the consent of the moderators, we have a new one. There has to be a couple of rules laid down which are:

-The thread is Rap/Hip-hop, if you either don't like it or want to discuss other types of music then please don't post in here.
-There have been problems with linking to songs containing forum censored language, this is not permitted and and those that do will be reported to the moderators for deletion although there is nothing to stop you just discussing the music.


Enjoy this thread, if you have any concerns about what is permissible contact either myself , one of the regulars or a moderator. Have fun.

Moderator: Links to songs with forum censored language are still appearing in this thread. Members who do so will recieve a warning.

Well, it's not technically an "album", it's a mixtape EP that's free, being released online on his birthday, Sept. 27th. It's his gift to us for his birthday.

Guys, don't post links to videos that contain forum censored language.
If the link has a word that isn't censored that is censored on these forums, it's against the rules. That's what got this thread closed last time, so please remove them and don't post any

By all means, post the song title and artist, but just don't link it.

Tracking down a song when you get the artist and song title requires basically no effort anyway, might as well play it safe to keep the thread going.

Atmosphere has a new album out.

"To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy: The Atmosphere EP's"

Coming from a completely biased source, my brother says it's "flawless".

That is easily one of the best collabos ever. I can only think of a couple that I could possible describe as better than that.

"Hellohihey"

Just found it today on my "Gift of Gab" Pandora station. I'm really falling in love with this kind of hip-hop.

Note: The more I listen to Eminem, the more I find how clever his rhymes are. Take the following:

So I'm signing cds while police fingerprint me
They're for the judge's daughter, but his grudge is against me

Yes, there's the standard rhyme at the end of each line ("me" rhymes with "me") but there's the rhyme of "judge's" and "grudge is" in the 2nd line. It's so smart. He does that in a lot of songs but I think that's one of his more subtle ones.
