Yeah, I love it. Some crazy visuals on there too :lolCaptain Murphy is dope as fuck, definitely Tyler, Earl, Flying Lotus, and maybe Jeremiah Jae
Agreed. Bronson gets better with each releaese, imo.Loving Rare Chandeliers. Action Bronson is just steadily improving. I probably like this more than Blue Chips but still Thug Love Story is the best song he released this year.
(followed by Gateway to Wizardry off this tape, god daaaaamn)
So Young Chop... and Pharrell even... and they make much better music.
It's crazy to me how both Lex Luger and Young Chop make hard ass fucking beats in FL Studio but Tyler the Creator and Left Brain use Reason AND FL Studio and make it sound like Fisherprice beats...
I'm not saying Lex or Chop are amazing or something, Lex is the pioneer of trap beats and Chop is just copying that style but he's amazing at emulating it and is making some of the hardest shit out.

DAWs have nothing to do with quality of beats. I have no idea why people think this
I said Pharrell even because he is so far above all these other dudes (Tyler, Chop, Lex)... he's a legend, and he uses tons of basic MIDIs to make amazing hits. Tyler's mixes and MIDIs always sound horrible. Like someone making NERD beats with toys. Tyler is a good musician (proven with Analog, Fish, and She, all of which are very good songs and have very cool chords and interesting NERD esque drum patterns), but overall can come through as mediocre and boring and his quality of MIDI/mix sucks consistently.You said "Pharell even," like he's some scrub...And like Young Chop has been in the game or solidified himself enough to be deserving of all this praise. Tyler's catalog is more impressive to me, even though people like to totally dismiss the guy because his album didn't turn out to be as good as expected. If Tyler helped out with the production on Captain Murphy then he also deserves even more credit, along with contributing some really good verses.
Mad dudes suck at using them is what I mean... FL studio's presets kinda suck compared to Reason's too...DAWs have nothing to do with quality of beats. I have no idea why people think this
Lol.I'd rather listen to Ghostface order Chinese food.
Yes that beat change at about a minute in is crazy
Also does anyone have a link to a decent/good sound quality link to Blue Chips? My copy half the songs sound low as hell.
Used to do both a lot in college (more drink than smoke). The drinking got sort of bad.Lol.
I've been off weed and alcohol for over a year now. Was never on anything that often anyway, smoked quite a few bowls and got drunk a few times. I have to say, certain albums make me want to smoke. How many of you guys don't smoke or stopped for some reason? Also curious, have any of you not drank or smoked?
Lol.

If only Ghostface's album was dropping in November too, but too bad that shit got pushed to next year. I guess Wu Block will hold me over as well as his work in the Man with the Iron Fists sound track.November has definitely shaken up the album of the year list I had running in my head. After the top 4 or so albums, there are like 20 albums that I could make a case for in my top 10. Amazing year for me as a hip hop fan. Still pumped for Wu Block and Big Boi too!
Yeah, I can definitely understand why somebody would be really into various things. My brother drinks too much sometimes and tends to get into various binges. Does get me worried. I think him being into all of that while I was at a young age influenced me to avoid it a bit more.
Yeah, the delay sucks. Though I guess they'll be dropping the first track from it within the next month. Looking forward to that.If only Ghostface's album was dropping in November too, but too bad that shit got pushed to next year.

Exactly. I dropped it because I overdid it. Affected my schooling and personal relationships. But I don't begrudge anyone who does partake because there are plenty of people who can handle themselves in that regard.It really depends on how it impacts your life. It doesn't change mine at all except for costing me money. I simply enjoy my time when I'm alone that much more if I'm listening to an album, playing a game, watching a movie, watching a basketball game high as fuck as opposed to being sober.
In other news, listening to Grief Pedigree for the first time. Man this is chill. Thank you Based Gaf-hop.
Definitely know what you're saying. I sometimes feel like smoking a bit. Like right now, late night listening to music alone. Seems really great.It really depends on how it impacts your life.

I think Give Me My Flowers is one of my favorites this year (I know it came out last year, but I consider this year the "official release). Something about the way Blu and Exile collaborate makes a song feel so smooth and nostalgic. Just the way he goes over those beats. Man.
Lol.

Rare Chandeliers is the same old Action Bronson shit. No progress, no evolution, just the same shit over and over. I like Bronson but he's losing me.
Yeah, it's pretty damn good. Pretty excited for his next album. He's still a lot better than he's given credit for. Even though his debut was just okay on reflection.Caved in and checked out the Cole single. I'm digging it.

Dice Game is dope

Yeah since I've joined the forums I have noticed Sideline Story gets some flak. I personally enjoyed it. Nothing TOO memorable, but nothing terrible tbh. If Lost Ones wasn't a couple years old when it released on that album, I would've nominated that for Song Of The Year. Lol.
But I still believe The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights are some of the best mixtapes I've listened to.
pioneer of trap isn't Lex it's Shawty Redd
Was listening to a lot of 9th wonder... and was bored/haven't chopped up samples in a while... so I decided to make an anthem for us soulja girls. We have feelings yall.
Kinda wish someone would go over this.
SOULJA GIRL ANTHEM (aka The Realest Shit I Ever Wrote)

Dedicated to Domino, Enzo, and Disco.
Damn I knew it was suspect Curren$y fans were digging it. I feel Rare Chandeliers is a bit different though, needs more spins before I get a good idea.Rare Chandeliers is the same old Action Bronson shit.

Best non WU, WU is Guilty's Lets Play.
Eminems verse on Patiently Waiting is the peak of all music.
This is beautiful . I'm gonna write some bars to it
Also, I think Tyler deserves his success. He's the child of Pharrell's domination of the game and NERD, with a ton of teenage angst. I'm very excited for his next album. His career will definitely have longevity and he will only become more and more marketable. He is just a dude who "gets it" and his manager is a genius.
Lol.

Chief Keef doesn't even show up to his first video shoot though? The fuck is wrong with this kid?
Doesn't he basically just gargle 50s nuts that entire verse?
Low point of GRODT
