The new Death Grips album has leaked and it's f*cking AWESOME. Bit different from the Ex-Military mixtape, but it's still really good. PM me if you would like the link.
The new Death Grips album is brilliant, played it twice today. It's a little cleaner than their 2010 mixtape but I'm enjoying it just as much. I'm also excited to learn there's another album from them due later in the year.

Tupac Shakaur performed at Coachella with Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg! It was a hologram but it looked f*cking good
You're sh*tting me if you think that he was really a hologram. Pure bullsh*t. He performed Hail Mary, as far as I know, he has no recorded tour performances from The Seven Day Theory other than To Live and Die in L.A. and Toss It Up. That was Tupac, and I know Tupac when I see him. I still believe dammit!

Dre and Snoop's set was downright amazing, my god how did they do the hologram, it's like he's still alive!
Only (minor) things I didn't like was how Dre's Forgot About Dre verse got ruined by that sh*tty dubstep remix beat and Em lipsyncing the chorus. Also, no mention of Detox.
But still, an outstanding set. I'm still in awe about Tupac's hologram..

I kinda liked that dubstep remix of Forgot About Dre. I would have preferred the original though. The performance is such a Dre and Snoop fanwank of all their amazing material over 20 years. A fantastic set. Hologram Tupac looked life like and I bet it did watching it live as well, must have been weird especially when Pac and Snoop were bouncing off each other.
Is this the longest Dre's been on stage for about 12 years?

Unless you are trolling you are a total dumbass and all my respect for you is out the window. - I love techn9ne, he is a fantastic rapper and i also love B.O.B, and they collaborate here, im sure you guys have heard it. I swear Tech N9ne for a while was the only person keeping good mainstream rap alive, i do like how even though he can spit rhymes incredibly fast he doesn't always unlike *Cough Twister Cough*

I agree, it was a great set. Really felt like the old days of Dre and Snoop for the time they were on stage together. I miss that.
And Tupac, hell what can I say, couldn't have been a better suprise. Would love to have been there. Dre, Snoop, Em, all this great hip-hop. The set gave me a real "Up in Smoke Tour" vibe. I'd say it's definately the longest we've seen Dre for a long f*cking time, and he still got it.

Dre and Snoop are the best combination in rap ever (IMO).
Snoop has degraded a lot in recent years, his rhymes seem lazy and his flow...it isn't really that interesting, he's just talking in all his songs. Dre still has it, 'I need a doctor' being a prime example, he is a fantastic music producer, rapper, and a smart business man. Here is the video since you can't embed with Vevo i will just link it. Seriously worth checking out. (Skip to 2:42, or press 3 to get to the beginning of the song and skip the intro.)

Never got the push behind Doctor Dre, he's been instrumental to the scene, and revered as such, but as I noted in a doc I was watching, even he gave creedence to RUNDMC as making rap and hip hop a major music pop force with their teaming up with Aerosmith for WALK THIS WAY It's followed that Anthrax from NYC showed their respect for that scene working with Public Enemy, and then the Judgment Night soundtrack offered even more crossover I think this is a good thing that fans who may not like the pure approach can see a chemistry work between rock and rap

As I mentioned about the clip posted in it's thread, Tupoc's image appearing was because Dr. Dre had worked with his estate for permission and commissioned James Cameron's Digital EFX firm to get the project realized. It's supposed to be convincing, but it's not real
Maybe his ghost???
Of more serious note, I was watching VH1's best moments of Yo, MTV RAPS!, it's an interesting look back at what was the culture over the years, and it's very much a time capsule you can say
During the commercials, it showed an upcoming MAY special produced by Snoop Dog of the LA RIOTS and Hip Hop scene with never before seen footage Given the association with the original San Andreas, GTA, This program should be on everyone's radar here, it should be VERY interesting!
BTW, Finn, of course you can embed with BB code, Here's your same URL done that way;
VH1 is showing an Ice T narrated documentary called Planet Rock The story of Crack Cocaine and Hip Hop, this also leads to some coverage of the L.A. Riots, it's taking you to that point in time with video shot from the streets, and in those final court-room moments. The main point of the program is the dysfunctional families, the 1980s recession period and introduction of Crack, after the 70s introduced Freebasing cocaine at a much higher cost, and how making it affordable opened the floodgates to inner-city commerce, of the wrong type!
I feel this plays a distinct difference between rap and hip hop, gangsta rap and rock, jazz, classical, country The other music scenes have really less centered around something like the drug culture or trade, but I'm saying this documentary, from the mouths of those involved just shows how it came to prominence

The Yo MTV Raps special featured Fab 5 Freddie and the film New Jack City also listed him in the credits, but I don't recall if or where he was in the story, but, I guess this could be a silly question, what is the New Jack City referring to? I figure it is still meant to be New York in the film

Listening to this album for the first time..There's a good few Beastie Boys samples on it..just again showing their influence on the whole Hip Hop industry.
Anyway, if you guys like 808's, 909's that kinda Kraftwerk drum machine sound, electro-hip-hop and just some good old skool gangsta rap. Get this album. It's amazing.
