yah...retail is available, not sure if its in Aus yet...awesome album

 

[illmatic]

Don't know if this qualifies seeing as I have next to zero knowledge of this genre, The Herd's cover of Only 19 is a pretty awesome track

you reckon? i personally didnt take to it that much.

T.I - KING w/bonus DVD just arrived in airmail fastest ebay transaction ever.


T.I - KING sold 531, 797 copies in its first week WOAH didn't expect him to do that much...gold in first week..nice. Trap muzik deserved it more though.

lol i thought sales didnt matter...

Haha, again I listen to almost naught western hip-hop and the other hip-hop i listen to is mostly instrumental/ambient stuff

Can anyone recommend me albums with good ambience ? Looking to gather some stuff for next semesters music course

 

[SuGa BunI =D]

listening to my oldies again and i realised Gwen Stefani copied - luxurious off Isley brothers - between the sheets!! they’re legend & shes..

T.I live on jimmy kemmel or wateva with live band (travis barker on drums) - what you know/you dont know me

 

[hiphophooray123]

Rhymfest Feat Ol' Dirty Bastard - Build Me Up

off rhymefests new album


samples that 'why do you build me up buttercup baby to let me downnnnnnnn'

dirty sings the whole chorus, hearing him singing 'build meee upppp buttercuppp dont breakkkkk my hearttttttttttttttttttttttttt' is awesome

 

[hiphophooray123]

pharrel & kanye west - number one (will be a hit, definently - in a few weeks or months). Nice mainstream song though, definently something u'd get sick of it when it becomes lebanised though.

I feel like pooing in ears now.

EDIT: BTNH ft Lil Eazy - This Ain't A Game. Layzie and Krayzie got mad verses. Haven't heard anything from them for ages. If only Bizzy was still in the group.

 

[hiphophooray123]

finally i fucking found it!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbN15aCscpg&search=TI performance


a must watch

they do 'bring em out' with a live band (after he does 'you dont know me' which the P$C fucked up a bit)

but FUCK that live band was AMAZING, the trumpets etc, one of the best live band rap music songs ive heard.

also theres one of a live band (with travis barker) on the drums doing 'what you know' and 'you dont know me' which also sound amazing.

must watch.

 

[Pilgrim]

Been playin abitta lupe his new leaked album is pretty dope

 

[hiphophooray123]

definently not dissapointed with ice cubes new album 'laugh now, cry later' the beats are all bangers and the lyrics aren't bad at all. One of the better mainstream albums so far this year.

 

[otay]

Talib Kweli has a new album called Eardrum coming soon. First single "Listen" is tight, I heard it on FBI the other day and you can lsiten on his myspace site.

Also check out MF Grimm's album "American Hunger".

SPank Rock's Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo is also pretty cool. If you listen to Triple J they've played a few of their songs.

And People Under the Stairs have released a new album this year called Stepfather, favourite track is definetly Acid Raindrops. The beat sounds very familiar to 2pac's "When we ride" but still a dope track.

hey hiphophooray, has ne-yo's album come out yet? and is it available in aus?

dunno if its out in aus yet...but its sooooo goood...its a really kool album

 

[hiphophooray123]

im so sick of the ne-yo album now, its been lebanised and bimboised and 96.1ised too much.

plus dude wins the 'GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE' award of the year for his comments on radio a few days ago. He was rating singers in terms of talent:

avant - 7
donell jones - 7
CHRIS BROWN - 9!!! FUCKING 9!!! only little girls and wannabes like him!!!

avant and donell jones actually have talent, ne-yo does to but that dude needs a catscan.
