Follow the Leader only a year later sounds much closer to hip-hop now than 80s hip-hop

Really ahead of it's time

?

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Does anyone know what song is playing at the beginning of this song?

http://youtu.be/z8as-PRL4Fo

The beat sounds so familiar.

idk but thats dope.

Without a doubt. I actually listened to it first, and it might be a better album, but I prefer paid in full because, like I said, it got me into some more primitive, pioneering music.

Tonight's paper writing playlist (my selections stolen from HRD's list. Hadn't heard the first two, they were GREAT):

Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Dalek - Abandoned Language
Ghostface Killah - Ironman
Kool G Rap - 4, 5, 6
Roc Marciano - Marcberg
Danny Brown - XXX

 

[CRS]

Cant see shit

Fixed.

 

[Kastrioti]

Listen to both jet life albums, it's his crew.

Devin the Dude is part of the Jet Life crew??

You can try more weed rap with Smoke DZA and his crew (Fiend, Trademark, and Young Roddy). Also, check out Big K.R.I.T.'s more calmer tracks.

Just heard Smoke DZA on 4 loco with ASAP. Been meaning to check out KRIT, going to real soon.

I guess I should have also clarified, Jet Life (Fiend, Roddy, Trademark) are Curren$y's crew.

Check out the artists on my list, here I'll start you off:

That reminds me. I downloaded OJ & Kush a while back. Need to give that spin. Remember it being a pain in the ass to find a decent quality link to it.

 

[Kastrioti]

Check out the artists on my list, here I'll start you off:

Thanks a lot man, will check them all out. Forgot about Wiz K, he belongs in the same category as Curren$y in terms of chilled out, faded hip hop.

Action Bronson is also there. As an Albanian its awesome to see Albanian rapper doing good in a positive way musically. Most American Albanian rap is disgraceful, IMO.

Duality Deluxe

I don't know how I missed it, but I just tonight listened to the David Banners mix. FIYA!

Still trying to find out what that sample is at the end of Gone Fishing. Shit is gonna fuckin' bug me forever.

 

[CRS]

At least we might have an idea who Murphy really is. He's performing at Low End Theory tonight.

 

[Fjordson]

I was so convinced it was Tyler for a bit. Sounds just like him on some tracks, but I dunno. Guess we'll see.

 

[CRS]

I can't wait for Winter Break. Here's a super chill beat tape y'all gotta check out.

[Dereck]

Did he produce Immaculation?

 

[CRS]

Captain Murphy = FlyLo

 

[Dereck]

lol

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Wait.. What?

 

[HiResDes]

I'm sure Tyler and Earl are featured, but yeah all hints were kind of pointing to that...I also suspect some OF ghostwriting

Earl ghostwriting and yeah, I think Tyler is uncredited on Between Friends.

 

[overcast]

Some quality posts in the past few pages. One of those nights where I just download a bunch of music I think.

 

[Dereck]

Chillin with a shaman eatin ramen in a parkin lot.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Yes. You get to hear some D-Block OG beats and WU.

 

[T Dollarz]

What if... we came up with a way to vote on a Gaf-hop essential albums list and place that in the OP...

There might be something soon so we can all vote. Macca's working on it.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

never been the biggest Lil' Wayne fan, but I kinda like this track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7n6P2ge6kw

is there anything else of his that is kinda like this?

edit: hold up, captain murphy is flylo? hahaha

 

[Fjordson]

Wow, so it is Fly Lo. Talented dude, damn.

Spoiler

I actually think I like Duality more than Until the Quiet Comes

I can't wait for Winter Break. Here's a super chill beat tape y'all gotta check out.

Sunday by Ecletic | Stream/Free

This is great.

 

[ShinobiFist]

That has to be my favorite Young Chop beat...

[Glass Rebel]

Cap Murphy = FlyLo is a surprise?

 

[thabiz]

Its a surprise in the fact that the two albums are so different, produced in a small amount of time. Takes talent to flip the switch and do a 180 creatively.

 

[thabiz]

Theres some good shit on this.

Sick beats

 

[HiResDes]

What if... we came up with a way to vote on a Gaf-hop essential albums list and place that in the OP...

Just compile the top ten or twenty reoccurring albums.

 

[thabiz]

Anyone check the Pac Div album?

That Kendrick track is dope.

 

[Fjordson]

Cap Murphy = FlyLo is a surprise?

Not really I guess, I just wasn't sure if it was a solo thing. Some of the verses sound pretty different (and a few sounded a lot like Tyler to me).

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Follow the Leader only a year later sounds much closer to hip-hop now than 80s hip-hop

Really ahead of it's time

This is the best shit ive read over the last couple page. Agree completely.

I wonder how that night went, hope he was prepared for the grime.

 

[thabiz]

New Lauren with Bronson is dope.

Thousand Dollar Gym Shoes ft. Bronsolino

 

[enzo_gt]

Pretty sure Ezno has never heard Paid in Full

I pretty much had to when so much of the music I like had references to it or samples.

And I LOVE it. It's never made me check out other work from them or Rakim alone though, but I hold it in pretty high regard. I think it's an essential listen to get context on modern rap in terms of influences just as Illmatic is.

 

[HiResDes]

Yo Esch what did you think of Nose Candy?
