Took Del freakin a decade to write the lyrics.. still too excited for the album though! (Deltron 3030)
 
The mega rap/hip hop DISCUSSION thread.

Anyone excited about any up and coming hip-hop releases this year? I'm always looking for new stuff to listen to, and it seems like there's always new stuff coming out in the genre.

Personally, I'm really excited for Detron 3030 album, whenever that ends up dropping. I still listen to the first album nearly every day. The beats are still mesmerizing and the lyrics delivered on-point as always from Del. If it's half as good as the first album I'll buy it, but I believe it's going to be real good.

I'm going to listen to the new Odd Future tape when it is released later in March, but only really to see how Domo's progressed as a rapper and to hear Tyler and Left Brain's beats. Ever since Tyler said he didn't enjoy rapping anymore, he's shown it, and some of the stuff he released after Goblin I didn't like too much. Rella was hilarious though.

T.I's newest mix-tape was a pre-lude to his album, and "Fuck Tha City Up" was a real banger. T.I really showed that he's fucking back with the mixtape. If you like his older stuff you'd like it, but I'm just hoping the album (Trouble Man?) isn't too mainstream, even though I know that's where he wants to get back to.

Yeah, I think I'll make this the all around hip hop discussion thread because we've had to many popping up recently with little to no discussion at all.

So if you'd like to discuss your favorite rap/hip hop artists, songs, albums, beats or anything else like that and not be confined to the 80's or 90's hip hop threads then this would be the place to do it

90's (especially early 90's) hip for me represents the absolute golden age for the genre:

Back end of NWA/Public Enemy
Ice-T still at the top of his game
Ice Cube consistently excellent
EPMD making some absolute classics
Cypress Hill
Geto Boys
Masta Ace
Naughty by Nature
Pharcyde
Poison Clan
2pac
Dre
Kool G Rap

the list goes on and on...
 
The next Nas album.

His rhyming on the single Nasty was inspired. As was his guest verse on Ghetto Dreams on Common's latest album. I'm also excited by the prospect of AZ featuring on a track with him again.

Not to mention the list of producers:

Swizz Beatz, DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Dr. Dre, Statik Selektah, Kanye West, RZA, Salaam Remi, Kane Beatz, Bangladesh, No I.D., Pete Rock
