'what are you currently listening to' Part 2 (42 Viewers)

[Osman]

Do you know this?


It's kinda pretentious, but soo hilarious

"Big Sean makes dad rap" is so accurate

Just skip the first three minutes until they get to the lyrics

Nah never seen that before.



Lol makes dad rap is so on point, kinda corny, he feels like he is talking whenever he raps, good productions, features and even sometimes good (emo) lyrics, but his style on his own cant keep my interest at all due his voice/monotone delivery.



Jamming old Drake songs, sounded so smooth and hungry to break out (having features like Little brother, 9th wonder etc).

Yeah I like him on features generally, but his solo work not so much - though I've never given it a chance either tbh

@Osman yeah I forgot to include it at first, edited the post

 

[Osman]

@Ocelot I couldnt see the clip on your post, only when I quote it, odd, I loved this part ""Wayne fell off, Sean never got up"



To be fair to Big Sean, he has few little gems, one of his new songs Halfway Off the Balcony is really good (cant link link it, its only on spotify), which is rare since its only him no features.

 

[Ocelot]

Yeah actually I don't know nearly enough of his stuff to really judge him properly

Will check out though, thanks

Or just skip it alltogether and go through Lupe's old discography instead, even when he wasnt trying, just goofing off with freestyle, he was all fire

music needs to be political again

Lupe's sooooo great seriously

Just a shame a lot of his discography is so scattered.

The Cool has easily become one of my favourite albums of all times the past two years.

 

[Osman]

Yeah the cool is one of the best conceptual albums made, incredibly intricate in the amount of characters and narratives he fits in that kinda gets over peeps head.



Crimsonian king, this one worth listening too, complete historical/political lesson from first breath to last

@CrimsonianKing Couple more examples of political rap:

much better. BTW I was not bashing on all hip hop, mostly the top chart shit made by millionaire artists that talks about hoes, ostentatious life and being a "gangsta". I really can't relate to any of that shit, it's fucking horrible. The "real" hip hop that came from the ghettos and talked about their reality; the oppression and police brutality is a whole 'nother thing.

New Lupe
This track is actually got me pumped for his new album




Personally I LOVED The Cool, but I enjoyed Food and Liquor more.

Question, how much into reggae are you?

 

[Fr3sh]

Question, how much into reggae are you?

I looove reggae!!!!

Heck for several years I stopped listening to rap, just stuck to my usual old stuff (common, mos def, lupe, etc) and listened to mainly reggae because they're was/is this HUGE pool of talent compared to what was going on in the hip hop world. Once you get passed the heavy accent their lyrics are pure fire, amazing melodies/beats, just a whole bunch of good shit!!

Jesse Royal being one of my favorites


Chronixx and Protoje are HUGE talents as well, both are significantly more prominent then Jesse (for now :xfinger: he just needs to make more music)


This guy needs no introduction




Gentleman (from Germany HUGE reggae artist) and Kymani Marley taking up one of Bob's classic



Another one of Bob's sons, Stephen and one of my fav rapper Mos Def



Sizzla Kalonji


For me reggae>>>>hip hop not even a competition.

How could i not mention one of the best African reggae artist Takana Zion

@<a href="http://www.juventuz.com/member.php?u=18035" target="_blank">CrimsonianKing</a> this song sends shivers down my spine everytime!! The viiibes!!!! I don't understand a word either!!!

Takana in Brazil!

I don't understand shit in this either
But the music speaks for itself

 

[Osman]

Pure vibes. You need to come to Europe in summer for the major reggae festivals Darman. Or one of the ones they have in the US (guessing California lol). Seen most of the above there, even Takana, him singing ematoba was one of the most powerful live performances.



Speaking of Reggae, I'm on my way right now to see concert of Busy Signal. Give me likkl of the grades and pass mi the rizzla

Jah dey pon yuh telephone
Tell him wat you need
Tell him wat you need
Tell him wat you need
Jah dey pon yuh telephone
Tell him wat you need
Tell hime wat you need right

Say by the rivers of Bobbylan
Where we sat down
And everywhere when we remember Zion
Cause the wicked carry us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing rastafari song in a stra-a-a-a-ange land

He's nice, but he's no Youssoupha
@Ocelot








In my humble opinion, Youssoupha is the best rapper bar none, man is too disgusting! Ridiculous amount of technique and that's only matched by his content. Man is toooo goood!!

Lino is disgusting too
