Eminem! Enough said. By the way, the music video for "Not Afraid" reminds me a lot of Grand Theft Auto IV.
How is that 'enough said'? Eminem started to go downhill after coming out of rehab, and completely changed the style on which he had shaped his career on. I've said it far too many times on this forum, so not going to go into much detail, but he's lost it now. I still listen to him, and will still continue to get every album that he releases, but I still prefer the older stuff that he did, especially some of the stuff before he became too mainstream.
^--- I miss the way he flows in this song.
I have yet to post all the latest tunes I've been going through on my PC. I 'acquired' a massive collection of various underground tunes, and some of the stuff I would have never heard had it not been for that.

As much as he criticises himself for Relapse, I actually think it contains some of his most imaginative rhymes since MMLP, and more than prefer it over Recovery.
Unfortunately Recovery seems to have rocketed him from non fans knowing about him to them actually listening to a whole album.

Been a rapper is more than just laying down a rhyme though, and my point was that everyone knows Eminem as this guy who told everyone and everything to go F*ck itself, and took the piss out of everything without giving a thought about the consequences. To then listen to him self-depricate and apologise to people who he was about to diss, yeah, people he hadn't even dissed yet, was stupid. It might have been great for someone new to the scene, but it was a complete change to the Eminem we had all grown to love.
Imagine Immortal Technique suddenly taking sides with the American Government...just wouldn't seem right, and would be a complete change to his message.

That drum loop is just brilliant. Also had this on repeat for a few days, can't beat some danny brown. imo it seems appearance matters more than talent now, I mean Danny gets judged because of his f*cking haircut (look at 2012 XXL Cypher comments for example) or clothes (50 Cent wouldn't sign him because he wore fitted jeans), silly sh*t.
I f*cking loved 'The Shining' album. Every day when I got off work, I'd bump the sh*t outta that smokin' in my living room.
[/youtube]iurEZgZF-nA[/youtube] "I don't write raps for free, if I did, I wouldn't take it like Shaq from 3" Just simply amazing.
As you know from the PM, this is one of the only J Dilla albums that I don't own, yet from what I've heard from various tracks I've been going through on YT, it's probably one of the finest albums I've heard for time. I'm a massive fan of Instrumental Hip-Hop, and the beats in his tracks are amazing, so blend this with some killer lyrics and you've got the perfect album. Just need to somehow get hold of the album now.
This track is brilliant:
Loving this massive collection of music I got, found some real gems in there.

It's my remake of "Lighters" by Bad Meets Evil featuring Bruno Mars. Please give me feedback, positive or negative. Tell me what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong. I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm pretty confident in my lyrics, but it takes to develop my flow.
J Dilla and Madlib gave me another perspective on music. I began reaching out the the music they sampled and it just makes the instrumentals they make even better. Gotta be a genius to do what they do so well.

Seriously, this. I have days where I just shuffle Madlib and Dilla playlists, will never get tired of their production. Plus so much Dilla news recently, with his record collection found with more beat tapes, his mother has created a record label (aptly named Ruff Draft Records) to release his music and potentially other projects.
Oh my goodness that track is nice. You happen to know what Dilla beat that is?
J Dilla is one of my main influences to why I occasionally free style or cypher with friends, I just love busting out with some dilla because 90 percent of the time I am spreading this great soul music to other ears. I even had one guy try to tell me he made a beat, which was created by J Dilla it was the "Whip Me With A Strap" instrumental Ghostface Killah uses on Fishscale or More Fish album. Anyways I had to tell him to quit rolling his blunt and get the f*ck out or apologize Dilla for doing such a pussy thing...

he apologized.
Found it under the title Electric Fairy Dust:
Finding Dilla beats can be pretty tricky with the countless beat tapes and titles people give them. I remember trying to find the instrumental to ASD - Komm Schon as the instrumental was crazy but wasn't anywhere, then it finally appeared on a tape I downloaded and appeared on youtube. Probably one of my favourite Dilla beats:
and this of course, damn:
Highly recommending Ab-Soul's - Control System album, the TDE/Black Hippy crew can do no wrong, Kendrick, ScHoolboy and now Ab's albums have been sick. Still need to check out Jay Rock's work. A Black Hippy album would be ridiculous.

I still dislike Eminem, Yuck! hahaha
Was watching VH1's One Hit Wonders marathon they do every now and again, I don't know if they update it at all, they said they'd pick one as the all time best One Hit Wonder (of the 1990s), or so I thought, but I think they skipped it
Anyone remember Rump Shaker by Wrecks N Effect? When I got cable it was late 1992 I believe, Yo MTV Raps was still on the air, yeah, I didn't like the genre then but they mixed things up a bit more with regard to all the genre videos, it was still pretty good back then
They had an update on Snow, 12 inches of Snow?! Have to admit, it's fun to hear those songs again 10 plus years later. Some were pretty terrible though.
He kills it on this, and it's reminiscent of his earlier mixtapes in sound (but not in theme). It uses the same sample Pete Rock used for his song T.R.O.Y. Although he doesn't seem to be pleased about it:
QUOTE (Pete Rock on Twitter)
No disrespect to lupe fiasco and i like him alot but TROY should be left alone. Feel so violated,the beat is next to my heart and was made. Outta anguish and pain. When it’s like that it should not be touched by no one! It’s so hard for folks to make original music, I possess that, but these dudes are scared of that and this is supposed to be HIP HOP? Man I’m a lupe fan and everything but TROY was my homie man. I think about him and Hev every f*cking day!!!! Smh
Who ever Re-created that didn’t do a good job @ all. #nohate.This business can be so lame, sometimes I make beats blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back and still these cats can’t be original to. So untalented and unoriginal. Makes me feel like I’m truly the best that ever did it. Yo hev and t-Roy I love and miss da sh*t outta y’all. U guys have been violated with no Vaseline. So f*cked up this business smmfh!!! And I don’t care who got something to say about it, kiss my.. I’m not flattered @ all. Dat sh*t is wack, and the producer should be ashamed of his f*ckin self. Smh That record is dear to me yo f*ck deez niggas!!!! I’m still Dat nigga out here believe it or don’t. Ur ignorance not mine, lame duck bullsh*t. I think lupe is a great artist, I’m that angry with him but it’s a major label idea. I can feel it.
EDIT: Now 9th Wonder is throwing jabs:

so WAIT.....WAIT.......WAAAAAAIT......a nigga REMADE T.R.O.Y.?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! nah man....man niggas aint got no CODE. This really aint no argument man, If you ridin with that sloppy remake of a beat, cool....I'm bout to watch the game. he rapped over the ORIGINAL BEAT...thats cool...this is a poor attempt of a REMAKE. Trouble T. Roy had to DIE for that song to be made....at least reach out to @peterock for the blessing. Hip-Hop needs a COUNCIL.......A HIGH CHIEF COUNCIL. Niggas aint got NO CODE...NO RULES...that's why the GAME is the way it is. and its a bunch of niggas that don't know what they talkin bout right now......but for real....where I'm from there is a right of passage, the older niggas in the neighborhood schooled the young niggas, and checked. There is NO line now....you might as well take the sample and remake Mass Appeal, Shook Ones II, Juicy, I'll Get Around....ANYTHING... so is there a LINE?? so can someone take Kanye's Through The Wire and remake and chop the sample the same, call it "Through The Storm?"
if you want to use the SAME TOM SCOTT sample...cool....but to CHOP it the SAME WAY? or ATTEMPT? There is a difference between a remake, interpolation, cover, parody, and BITE..... niggas tried to RECREATE Pete's Chops.....is it ok to recreate DILLAS chops? So its ok to take All of Dilla's samples he found...re-chop them JUST like Dilla and call it "Bagels". not take the SAME SAMPLE and rechop it...Take "CLAIR" and chop it JUST like Dilla and call the song "FLARE". I'm bout to go in here and find all the samples to College Dropout, chop them JUST like KANYE & Call it "I Ran Outta Financial Aid". Since anything goes.... Let's play a game....take a song...and the same sample...rechop it the same way and name it..."blank blank". I found "Stay With ME" by Debarge...and I chopped it just like Tumblin' Dice and I name it..."One Last Try".
Some new Food & Liquor II info courtesy of RubyHornet: •Part 1 finished, Part 2 80% done. •Part 1 has no rap features. •Jay-Z may have a verse on part 2. •September 25th release date (the 26th date in the article is a typo). •Will touch upon American politics, social issues, etc.
I've seen people hating on this record already. It seems that no matter what Lupe does, his reputation will remain tarnished due to Lasers. I've seen people complaining that it is preachy and pretentious with its political themes. I think they are just grasping at straws in all honesty. People forget that Lupe has multiple acclaimed songs with political agendas (American Terrorist, Little Weapon, Building Minds Faster, Hurt Me Soul, etc), but it seems any credibility Lupe has in this field has been stripped from him since Words I never Said and the Obama scandal. As long as Lupe refrains from sounding like he did on the latter record, Food & Liquor II could be promising. It sounds like the subject matter will be similar to his first album. Oh, and Lupe rapped over the T.R.O.Y. beat way back:

Saw Jay Z and Kanye West at the O2 tonight for their "watch the throne" gig. It was amazing! The atmosphere was electric and the set list was great too! Crowd went wild when they did "niggas in Paris"...... 6 times!
