Anyone heard Freddie Gibbs' and Madlib's - Pinata? Half way through it now, and it's pretty damn good.
Agreed his Biggie impression was impressive, liked the other song with French, Lil Wayne didn't sound like shit on that track and Sanctified was good too.
Jeezy rapped rings around him on War Ready
We Made It - Jay-Z & Jay Electronica
Best thing Jay-Z has released in quite some time, and Electronica verses are always welcome. Jay-Z takes shots at Drake too.

Hip-hop release of the year so far.
Agreed. Beats are on point as always from Madlib and Gibbs flows over them much better than I thought he would.
Still waiting for the new Cunning Linguists release... hurry up !
Is Cocaine Pinata really a mainstream release? Brilliant album though, and I thought the EPs were good!
What a coincidence. For the first time I listened to Madvilliany yesterday.
YG's album bool.
Interviewed D Block on Friday, doing Dom Kennedy tomorrow/Tuesday.
Might be doing Rick Ross in May

New CunninLynguists is very good. To be expected though.
That song My Hitta by YG, Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan is as homoerotic as Gangstalicious' Homies Over Hoes 
Aaron McGruder is a prophet.

He's touring in the UK? His independent status must be raking in cash for him. Is he still down with Nipsey Hussle?

Was glad to see the Dilla nod in the Boondocks ad. Shame McGruder won't be contributing to this season.

I hope they don't bastardise that cartoon. It's the reason I stopped watching Southpark. McGruder brought a unique perspective to all his characters. They should have tried harder to keep him on board.
Cunnin Lynguists' new album... They've maintained level of production from 'Oneirology'.
Flawless music. KNO and gang did it again with few solid album guests.
Would love to find more artists similar to their style as I know shit about Hip hop so far.

YG and Mustard have a good chemistry going at the moment, but YG really isn't a great lyricist at all though. I'm feeling the stuff I've been hearing from Chance the Rapper lately though, anyone listen to him?
I've had Lil Wayne's Dedication 5 in my car for a while too now.

yup said Nipsey is his favourite artist, grew up a couple blocks from Slauson
Mustard carried that album. IMO he was the hottest producer last year and his hit streak is still going strong. YG is alright on the album, rarely stands out, not even on the single.
Heard Chance on Vic Mensa's "Suitcase", he was decent. Didn't hear nothing that suggested I look more into his music. What do you recommend?
Where do you put your interviews?
I will admit, I first noticed Chance on Beiber's single 'Confident' and became a bit curious about him, because if your gonna get on a Beiber single you are probably relevant somewhere.

Chance has got a distinct style, like his flow. I will admit I first noticed him on the Beiber single 'Confident' and was curious, because if you get on a Beiber single you must be relevant somewhere.
I then heard him on Dedication 5 on 'You Song' and was impressed. Youtubed a couple of bits after that. Unique flow. Not my fave rapper or anything but an interesting alternative.
They go on a website called Pardon My Blog, these won't be up for a minute as they need to be edited though. Will post the link when they are up. Also interviewed Krondon from Strong Arm Steady
Mustard carried that album? He didn't even produce the best song on there.
Illmatic XX is streaming. Ten extra tracks, two original and eight remixed. Any excuse to listen to the masterpiece really.
Bit late but the YG album is very good, and the production is brilliant. Favourite release in a while.
a BEAST of a track
Game is a fcuk boy for getting involved in all this, has nothing better to do with his time. Tyga lucky too because Durk and them don't play
Love Game's music, but he strikes me as a bit of a follower; he'll join your beef if he's known you 15 minutes.
All the people he named dropped from Chiraq were like nope not siding with you here. Durk's dad was a real one, there's a story that he got nicked with $8m in cash trying to do a runner.
Not nearly enough Chief Keef in this thread imo.
Not enough music in this thread. We should start turn up Fridays
Recently downloaded this fella's EP from last year, PRAY, and it's quality. He's apparently on Kanye's new album.
I've yet to get into the whole Drill Chicago hip-hop. Can't say I'm mad on Chief Keef, Lil Herb released a good tape this year though, Welcome to Fazoland.
Yeah Lil Herb's good, Lil Bibby's 'Free Crack' mixtape was proper good too.
Denzel Curry's Nostalgic 64 album is good aswell, not really commercial as such but still, one of my favourite albums of last year tbh, definitely worth a listen. Pretty sure it's a free download, not sure though.
edit/ full album's on youtube & yeah it's a free download anyway

@KiD MoYeS he sounds like Kanye a bit, right? Good tune though, the beat is dope.
Yeah he does sound like Kanye alright, he's worked with him before.
The production on PRAY is pretty great if you enjoyed the song I posted above.
@KiD MoYeS that a decent tune, even though the music randomly stops half way through. I'll check out his EP.
I stopped taking Mustard seriously when he compared himself and YG to Snoop and Dre.
