You know what else is illegal in China? ASMR. You know what's seemingly okay in China?... Fucking slave labor.

All it took was a Macrifice.

If you don't write your own music then you aren't qualified to do shit except play your role as the eye candy industry plant that everyone knows you are.

Sad thing is the ones with the ghostwriters still have garbage lyrics because their bars are custom-tailored to appeal to the dumbed-down masses of consumers with poor reading comprehension and short attention spans.

See this is why Em is qualified to criticize and shit on modern rap music: He actually studies the roots and origins of hip hop and pays respect to those who paved the way. If you didn't listen to the episode while pausing to reference the dis tracks mentioned, then you shouldn't be chiming in on the conversation.

What we need is a fucking Black Hippy album.

I have over 30 Jay Elect tracks in my itunes. By today's standards that's about 3 albums worth of material. Quit your bitching and let that man be great.

Gucci Mane could never be GOAT because he's downright illiterate.

All yall niggas is Caucasian.

Meanwhile, this same industry is sexualizing the fuck out of Bhad Bhabie, who is 15 years old.

It's dope that the culture is embracing and appreciating real art. Graffiti will always be our mainstay tho. Just make sure your shit aint trash before you get up on them walls.

Just remember that evidence is needed to prove and convict a person of a crime. Until then, all this shit is hearsay. It's an important topic for moral debate, but people seem to have a hard time thinking objectively. For now, all I see is a television network making big bank off of exploitation.

Hopefully we see a growing trend in wack rappers calling it quits.

Very surprised that hnhh reported on this release.

The Grammys' should have a separate category for performers who don't write their own content. Pusha T definitely deserved that award. Also, Cardi B is a garbage human.

Their music is classic and to this day they are still amazing live performers.

AOTY until Bandana drops.

Diplo stays making poor decisions by doing wack collabs but his album Florida is still a classic.

Lord Quas on the cover! AOTY incoming...

Giving his co-star pub, nothing to see here.

Ashanti aged very well, I especially like the ones in the hot pink bikini, no make up on you can tell she a natural.

All he gonna do is talk shit and troll for the gram, music always been trash and holds no water with the current wave.

WE DEPRESSED!

Daniel Arsham with the ART

Benny one of the best out right now. We need more lyricists like him in the current hip hop landscape.

So you're saying there's still hope...

He was never in that discussion to begin with

It's fitting that this cornball would give his record label a name that sounds just like Tommy Boy, one of the wackest record labels to ever do it.

Blueface has the worst flow since Silkk The Shocker lol

8 more years and Nas will be free of this greedy bitch forever.

Chuck ain't wrong

WOOOW they killed it again! Immaculate, start to finish. I took the title cut and put it first in tracklist since they left it off the finished product.

Brokeback Mountain

Typa bitch to tally up and not count all the dicks shes sucked

Gat DAMN

Where was all the backlash when Freddie Gibbs sat in an Austrian prison for 6 months because of a completely fabricated false accusation? Yall know damn well that Rocky should have let his security do their job and keep his own hands off those fuck boys. Instead he committed an act of violence ON VIDEO and now he's in a "when keeping it real goes wrong" situation. As far as the proposed ban on Sweden, why should their fans of hip hop be deprived of seeing their favorite artists live just because their countries legal system is fucked up? That shit don't make sense at all.

Tanasia sounds like '97 RZA, I fucking love it!

Rest In Glory Prodigy

Absolutely no marijuana related crime should hold the penalty of imprisonment.

GOAT album from one of the illest lyricists to ever do it. RZA's production on this record is immaculate as well.

Gangster Rap is a form of entertainment that suburban whites eat the fuck up. It's safe to say that 9 out of 10 of these motherfuckers are fraudulent.

Andre 3000's Hey Ya is a perfect example of this

This album rivals Bandana for AOTY

Funny, that verse is harder than anything Drake has spit in his entire career.

Trent already filthy rich yet is humble enough to let it ride... but best believe he clocked big bank off this one hit wonder.

Lol this article called Post Malone's album "hip-hop"

This was an exceptionally well written article, bravo. I would love to see more content like this. Would also love to see more pictures of Ashanti and Megan Thee Stallion in bikinis. Not complaining.

I'm starting to think that maybe Em isn't gonna ruin one of his label releases for once.

Fuck the Grammys. Also, IGOR was hardly a rap album.

I've been saying this since 2001, The W is the most underrated hip hop album ever and my personal favorite by the clan. Not a single dud on the whole record. Timeless.

Anyone who wears two watches is a douchbag

Griselda by a landslide.

Drake doesn't employ ghostwriters that could go bar for bar with Guru, they write pop songs.

I know most of yall will say the Alchemist beat was "boring" or whatever (blame your lack of attention span) but Fear is one of my personal favorite K Dot songs easily. The lyrics are dark, poignant, complex and brutally honest. One of his most heartfelt and introspective pieces of work.

Three full listens in, this album is incredible and consistent with Roc's impressive catalog. He has yet to disappoint. Also, keep up the good work, Mitch. I applaud you.

Opened a bottle of henny and watched his 81pt game highlights for the first time in years. I imagine he spent his last moment holding his daughter and saying I love you. Shit is terrible. Make the most of every day my people.

Having rappers list their personal favorite songs is a dope concept. I'd like to see lists from more top-tier lyricists like Nas, Jay, Ghostface, Raekwon, Black Thought, Pusha T, Kendrick etc.

God Squad shit. All yall cranky ass lil children stop complaining and go back to sleep. Grown folks got some things we need to discuss...

This is the dude that ran from Lil Uzi and tried to hide behind a Starbucks barista lol

Holy smokes that was blazing

He got Gibbs AND Marci on an Alchemist track?? GAME OVER

Both of them kept some of their hardest shit in the bag. RZA didn't even drop 4th Chamber and Preemo didn't even drop Work! Amazing battle, such a pleasure to witness...

Would it really be that surprising? Roc Nation's COO is a DEA informant. Just Google Desiree Perez and see for yourself...

Maybe she'll break his heart and then we'll get a DS3

I swear, Mitch is the only writer on this site that actually tries. More articles like this, please.

Between this and RTJ4, the summer is about to heat up!

Just a couple Banks features I wanna throw in to remind yall, Obie Trice "We All Die One Day" and Raekwon "Last Trip To Scotland"

The audacity of this POS is unbelievable. "They were terminated without due process" NAH. That's what YALL DID to George Floyd.

I can't tell if this album is the soundtrack to the revolution or the apocalypse. Either way I love it. AOTY.

Ye always has been in a league of his own, this is why no one is properly suited to see him in a Versus battle.

What's the resale value after I shit it out?

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan.

Celebrity Privilege

GOAT

All of these albums are great pieces of work yet they all have skippable tracks on them so the answer is no.

His documentary is on Netflix. Watch it.

In an age of garbage, these two are the cream of the crop. Both of them write heartfelt music with actual content, they are both good but stylistically different. A collab would be interesting.

DS3 vibes

Management needs to play a more active roll in keeping certain younger artists away from these types of scenarios, especially when they are prone to repeatedly putting themselves in these situations while having extensive preexisting rap sheets. Keepin it real is one thing, but when you're a cash cow you need to be protected and move smarter in general.

Beautiful from start to finish. I can see why it got shelved tho. This type of music is too avant garde for a mainstream major label.

Next season isn't an election year so yeah, no shit.

There goes Mitch again, bringing us that quality content. Give this man a raise.

Rakim in top form on that intro

Friends wasn't funny either, Jennifer.

Never met a single fan of Russ, he just cosigning to get to that bag.

Fingers crossed, this would be the best one yet.

Rubber bands & weight, fast eddie, broken bottles, rick and all 70 are tops for me

If you're a real fan of Dave you probably still own the DVD box sets so NBD

Gibbs has the best album but Nas will win because it's Nas and he's long overdue for his roses.

Rather than grasping at straws trying to maintain relevancy, this man seems to have old age figured out.

Features from Raekwon, Freddie Gibbs, Roc Marciano & Benny. Maybe Malice.

Alex Zidel is a disease.

You look paranoid, that's why I can't jux with you!

Dr. Phil is a monster but let's pose for a photo with a convicted rapist.

They say death comes in 3's now hopefully we can get some reprieve from legends dropping like flies RIP

He definitely gettin pegged

Rorschach style

Is there a trial date set for this case yet? Or is this just a staged publicity stunt that will disappear soon as the public stops showing interest?

This isn't really a race issue but a societal one in general. I see black,white and spanish girls in pj's goin to the corner store for dutches all the time. Sweatpants in public have always been frowned upon as trashy. It's really about not giving a fuck what people think about you. Some people will choose their comfort over another person's opinion of them.

And the tape said Jay Dee, long before he was called Dilla. This made my day.

This megalomaniac ain't king of SH!T

Conway fightin the good fight, bringing lyricism back to the forefront of rap music

Banks on here outrapping all his features, he didn't let none of em get the third verse lol ice cold.

Hard to argue with that. Biggie Smalls was the illest.

RIP. He was a truly amazing blazing wordsmith.

Not many rappers come out better than they were before they went in. Pac was a rare exception.

Success is the greatest form of revenge.

Denis Villenueve is a very promising director that doesn't miss. As a big fan of sci-fi, I have high hopes for this film.

"It's like a leotard fest. How it got started is any r.etard's guess. Regardless, that's they choice, no hate, debate. Becomes a problem when the try attempt to go straight. And raise the Monster(hiv) rate in the whole population. It's starting to effect the super pimpin' occupation" MF DOOM - Batty Boyz

I'd be willing to bet that Shkreli made a digital copy and backed it up, now that the physical is out of his possession he will most likely leak the music anonymously without any repercussions.

That sh!t was a f.ucking slaughter

He's right about most of the complainers performing like they care. That "performativeness" is called virtue signaling and it's painfully obvious in every corner of social media. Like everything else, it all boils down to money. These corporations don't actually give af about people, it's all about that potential dollar they can make off your demographic. So when a festival cancels Da Baby for voicing his opinions it's all about them trying to not get boycotted by a large group of customers. Meanwhile, Tyler has blatantly called people f.aggots on multiple records but as long as he pretends he's g.ay than welp THAT'S OK.

Purple Tape

Soulja Boy is officially the first black person to cosign white boy summer.

If you really want to support an artist go to live shows and cop merch directly from the source

This will definitely segue into Multiverse of Madness

Let's GOOOO

Idk about biggest but Mach-Hommy is the BEST

Shyne's first album had some serious heat on it

After one listen I think this might be the best of the Hitler Series since 2

Peel back the layers

Stay the fk away from pills and powder yall. If you're gonna do it, get fentanyl test strips and test before you ingest.

That child is destined to be gorgeous.

This is not a surprise for the man who trended over the super bowl on the day of the super bowl while attending the super bowl.

Doja is marketed as a sexual object, being single is essential to her allure so making her relationships public is bad for business.

Bobby Digital did it first

36 Chambers, Liquids Swords, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Illmatic, Ready To Die, Supreme Clientele, The Infamous, Low End Theory, The Score, Doggystyle.

This might be the first time I read an article on here in it's entirety since Mitch been gone.

Says a lot about the viewership of this site when they gotta explain who Big L was smh

Couldn't possibly pick a favorite but Viktor Vaughn - Change The Beat has been in heavy rotation lately.

Culture.

If Blade ain't rated R ima be pissed

"California Sober"

I will forever slice garlic with a razor in his memory.

Album is crazy. Masterful. It's the solo piece I always knew he was capable of, just needed the right producer. Don't sleep!

I've seen these goats rock together 3 times and every show was berserk. Fans throw their weed on stage like they're laying palms at the feet of Christ lol

Lol at this "performance". Why do they even have microphones?
