I think that she did release a new track the other day, part of the deal she signed. Haven't heard it myself.

Ah! I didn't know that!

It isn't all that great, but she was never going to release anything that great. She's only making music again because she has to. If her heart ain't in it, then it was never going to be earth shattering.

El-P fans should watch this. Excellent interview in the Red Bull lecture series.

FINALLY gave section 80 a full listen the other day, always struggled to get through the whole thing, been hooked on it for 4 days now, what an album couldn't even pick a favourite track probably adhd, hiiipower or no makeup, it'd be a toss up between them.

Some fùcking album, reminds me of ATliens for certain, I'll always maintain kendrick reminds me of a young Andre 3000

Check out control system by ab soul and habits and contradictions by schoolboy q too if you haven't checked them out - I took those much quicker than section.80 and they are every bit as good imo.

What I'm doing at the moment is going through all my CD's at the moment and listening to them in the car. This morning was Commons 'Be', cant remember what I have lined up on the way home.

The way I have my CD's laid out, well, the way it started out that all albums were grouped alpabetically by artist, so A has all Atmosphere, B has all Big Daddy Kane, etc. So going through C's at the moment, War Report by CNN was spun the other day. I just realised how much crap there is on the CNN album, mixed with some classics.

I listen to at least 1 track from cuban linx daily, one of my favourite albums love that mafioso rap scene.

Haha that's awesome! Next time just let them get your picture, they already know what your face looks like!

Only really heard of Mr Green from the new R.A. album so looked him up and he has produced a some stuff I already heard. He produces nothing but bangers! Dude is awesome.

His album with Pacewon is class

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9UtWS_F8m0

This one's insane

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD9Zhf67Ieg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l75Z8wil_U

Look forward to hearing more of his stuff.

Did Pacewon and Eminem ever squash their beef?

Bobby Baccala

Didn't think there waw any other Pacewon fans here, he's great imo, his work with mr green is excellent, children sing is a banger!

I don't think they ever squashed the beef it kinda just blew over, Outsidaz were a great group I remember hearing eminem shouting out to them in a couple of songs on the slim shady lp that's how I got onto them and then pacewons solo stuff. He's under rated imo

Andy_rse

Yeah I remember hearing him shout them out on Just Don't Give A Fu*k and checking them out! Good stuff!

Tim Dog is apparently hanging out with Pac somewhere

I've always been the type that would listen to the odd atmosphere tune never actually got into an album of theirs can anybody point me in the right direction of where to start album wise? I like pretty much everything I've heard from them, a lot of mellow stuff all with a lot of substance they're top class!

Overcast! is a whopper album.

Andy_rse

Their new album The Family Sign is probably their most mellow to date. There's some quality songs on there.

Their sound has evolved so much you would be forgiven for thinking you were listening to different groups. From the boom bap battle raps at the start to Slugs amazing storytelling these days they've quite a range of music.

Album wise if you check out Overcast, God Loves Ugly, When Life Gives You Lemons and The Family Sign it will give you a good idea of what they're about. They have a wealth of material but I reckon those would be a good place to start.

I'd throw up some links but I'm on my phone at the minute

Boom_Bap

I'd recommend Sevens Travels to start off with. I think its the album where everything started to fall into place for them

Bobby Baccala

Nice one lads gonna get stuck into them tonight!

Talks of Q Tip and Kendrick releasing a track together soon, should be interesting.

mufcboy1999

Will smith was nothing short of excellent on the graham norton show tonight, i know he's fairly popular here... good rapper, one of the best actors around and the best rapper/actor imo.

petition for him to pick the mic back up starts here

No need for a petition, if rumours are to be believed, he is already working with Kanye on something.

Jimmy Iovine

So, did anyone see Macklemore or Ryan Lewis on the lash last night? Supposedly they went to a few places before landing in to Coppers :pac:.

Jimmy Iovine

P.O.S. is a Crystal Palace fan it seems. He'll be delighted with today's result.

Stolen from the YLYL4 thread, i laughed. I lost apparently.

If you've got a couple of hours to spare, and like Q-Tip, then watch this:

It starts off slow, but really picks up when he gets more comfortable.

Been following Wax from his days freestyling in his car and his low budget videos. Pretty damn happy for him, it must feel good!



Rock AM Ring, Germany.

I'm the same, the first time i seen the 93 Til Infinity rap in the car I was hooked. Although, not too keen on his more recent output, mainly due to too many gimmicky songs.

Rosana is #1 in German and Austrian charts (not sure which one) for a few weeks/months which prompted the recent trip to Europe to play some festivals.

Fair play to the dude.

Boom_Bap

Pretty much lost for words on this one
