    Really looking forward to hearing this. I've had "Free on the 15th" on play for the last few days now. Gets better every time I hear it.

    good track

    Yeah really its impossible to assess a track/album off 1-2 listens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Big Boi's next album is gonna feature inclusions from every kind of genre, from folk to bluegrass to rock. He's working with Lana del Rey and Mumford & Sons.

    Also he said not to expect an Outkast album any time soon. They are both working on their own individual projects.

    True, but also impossible to listen to all hip-hop and give it more than two listens each.

    Well unless you are a DJ, but yeah.

    Another EP on the way from Freddie Gibbs and Madlib in early June I think. Only a few vocals from Gibbs and it's mostly just beats from Madlib. Not a bad thing though. Gibbs killed it on the last EP and Madlib's beats were brilliant. Thuggin is one of the best songs I've heard in ages and Deep is great as well.

    Setting up nicely for their full length, which I hope isn't too far away.

    From 50s new mixtape, only came out about an hour ago, im only on the second track, i like this one anyway.

    http://www.ballerstatus.com/2012/05/22/free-download-50-cent-dj-drama-gangsta-grillz-lost-tape-mixtape/

    There's a link, im expecting good things from this anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    just finished with it, liking a fair few tracks on it. Nice blend and balance to it. heard O.J earlier on the iphone hated it just had a blast with my marleys and im loving it lol. this kidd kidd fella is growing on me by the minute nothing spectacular but he's become listenable imo , use to think he was terrible.

    dramas 1st bit of work with 50 since he left shady after falling out with em, if 50 gets this mixtape right thats 2 bangers he's put out with the big 10. Either way a few new tunes for the gym so will do me nicely. Some of the beats 50 is using of late are quality, a real soulful vibe to them, suits him very well , defiantly on his wu sh*t with those style beats.

    i expected something of this quality from X tbh, thats why i was let down by it, lamar, nas, dmx and 50 are the only albums im really hyped for this year. So as a 50 fan to follow up the big 10 up with this tape, im happy enough with it, will get a few spins this week.



    n*gga no wake, no pine box, no funeral just 9 shots, take pacs 5 and + 3 4 you got 50, i love war.

    A few recommend that havent had much exposure here.

    Apollo Brown & O.C. - Trophies
    I was bumping this all day yesterday, excellent album, production is top notch and fits OC perfectly. This would probably be more suited to fans of Word...Life or Jewels. There are sone things that I love about this, all songs are 3 verses, 3 choruses, no features, battle(ish) rhymes. There is also an exceptional track praising The D.O.C. which caught me off guard.

    Sundown X Chuuwee - The Adverntures of the Millenium Falcon (Epsiode 1)
    Chuuwee is my guy to watch, looking forward to his album. He teams up with Sundown who is no slouch and delivers a great album....free as well!
    Chuuwee also has another mixtape just released called 'Crown me king' (or somethign like that) that I need to listen to more.

    I'm still on my phone so can't link again but Big Boi said that his solo album is 80% done. He'll be back working with Andre when he releases that. It'll be great to hear some new Outkast music again.

    Wasn't sure if it was going to be as good as the first one after hearing the songs that were leaked early but so far I'm very impressed, very good album.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Big Boi has changed the title of his next album to "Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors".

    Also he has a song it that features Big K.R.I.T. and UGK (with a verse from Pimp C). Sounds very good.

    Want to see three stacks back rapping for himself/Outkast, not like the features he is doing on other artist's very mediocre records. I've always liked OutKast, and preferred Big Boi to Andre in most cases. I've took a mad notion on listening to them recently tho (aquemini, southernplay and atliens twice a day minimum), Andre outshines Big Boi on the entire Aquemini album, and I say this as a huge big boi fan, it's classic verse after classic verse.

    Personal fav offa southernplay:

    just finished krits debut, fairly good now i must say. Couple of bangers on it , some quality instrumentals, great balance to it and choice of ft's. "if i fall" ft melanie fiona, live from the underground and yea thats me are my standouts so far.

    I think there was a trend starting to happen with new artists who were hugely successful on the mixtape scene only to struggle with their debuts for whatever reason , i.e j.cole went the commercial route etc but I think big k.r.i.t has successfully lived up to the hype of his mixtapes and has made a bit of a gem.

    will it stand the test of time though, im not sure yet :)

    Here's the first leak from Gibbs' mixtape. Not nearly enough Gibbs on it, and too much TI for my liking. At least he's back rapping fast again though.

    Video for "No Church In The Wild". I'd love to know how much this cost. It's pretty insane. Also there's an elephant in it. Always a sign of a good video. Would have liked to see Jigga or Kanye in it as well though.

    Some potentially good albums coming up. I'm most looking forward to Chuuwee, Aesop Rock, Oddisee, Nas, Large Pro, Oh No, One Be Lo and Big Jus.

    I was looking forward to Azelia Banks, but after hearing the snippets of the EP, not bothered now. She has taken the 212 sound which gave her some popularity and ran with that. Personally, I dont think that should be her sound.

    Looking forward to La Coka Nostra. Will be interesting to see how Slaughterhouse turns out as well.

    The video for Reks-Autographs is out. Good video, certainly better than the "Sins" and the "Such A Showoff" videos.



    A video for "Too Long" has also been released, the first video from the brilliant new 1982 album.

    New Big Boi. Not certain to be from his next album. Probably won't make the cut. Theophilus London features.

    Not really a fan of this, maybe it might grow on me. But for now it gets a thumbs down from me.

    She was also in XXL's 10 Freshman, but for I cannot figure out why......well apparently you can 'get' onto that list if you know the right people.....but that's for the conspiracy theories forum.

    The only reason I think that she has gotten some popularity is partially for her rapping, more-so for her looks. I think that there is a hole in the market for a 'white-girl' rapper who is not Kreshawn and Iggy is in the right time and place to fill that void.

    There are far better male and female rappers out there that merit discussion based on thier music and ability, rather than Iggy who is gaining popularity not really based on her music or ability.
