2016 Music

[Majiffy]

I dig Empire Ants but I always considered that track more Little Dragon than Albarn.

That is also a fantastic cover.

[Zulfy]

that chewing too loud bullshit.

i hated that too
reminds me a lot of a certain mediocre track in Gorillaz's plastic beach

Superfast Jellyfish? I could never stand that one. Also White Flag. Annoying as fuck beat.

ITT plebs

Wait a minute
Albarn
Elbirn

Elbirn what are you not telling us

[Parama]

i spun the new fallujah album yesterday and sweet jesus what an album.

time to overplay it to death

[Elbirn]

U fokkin wot m8

albarn knows how to make some the most beautiful songs in existence but half of the songs on his albums seem almost deliberately shit
guess i'll chalk it up to experimentalism

Superfast Jellyfish fish and white flag are both gr8
Every track off plastic beach is gr8

how can you listen to this and say that

That's a good one but my favorite off that album is Rhinestone Eyes.

Okayokay you've redeemed yourself

[Elbirn]

dope

[Zachstralkita]

either I'm notoriously sleep or retch has best rap album of 2016 so far


dude went from facing 10-20 years to getting signed to TDE not less than two days ago. that the definition of making your own luck.

[PJ.]

I know this is close minded, but album unheard, you're wrong. Freetown Sound is just too good.

Nvm you said rap album. Idk check out Kamaiyah. She's been criminally slept on by everybody. I liked Malibu and Islah a lot too.

[Zachstralkita]

I'm not too big on female rappers (nothing against them at all you just couldn't force me to listen to the majority of their voices), Chynna, SZA and Doja Cat can rap tho


that being said Kamaiyah doesn't sound bad, I will check out her mixtape in full at some point... first two tracks are good

I've never really got into Anderson.Paak, my boy told me to listen to Kevin Gates' album tho. he is nice. His over/under interview with pitchfork is funny as shit

playboi carti should have replaced uzi goofy ass on the XXL freshman list(not that XXL is to be taken seriously)

[TheButtonmen]

in one day we had the hip concert and then frank ocean dropped

it was a good day

[PJ.]

Freshman list is normally p good, XXL is normally trash, if that makes sense.

Ocean dropped 2 days ago you goon

[Zachstralkita]

denzel is the best rapper on there, i naturally support him. i just didnt mention Imperial because I didn't listen to it in full, but I can say with certainty that it's better than 32 Zel/ Planet Shrooms, his prior project


everyone in florida bumps kodak, tbh im not too big into him but its cause i havent got into his discography

uzi and yachty are hit and miss - they have a few good songs but are overhyped - that one uzi song sound like the fucking chef boyardee commercial

21 savage is not a rapper. he is a demon sealed into a man's body. do some research if you don't believe me. how you get shot six times and then kill the man with his own gun?

[PJ.]

Tbh I didn't look at freshman list this year. Was just saying historically speaking, it's pretty good.

the best rap of 2016

[Marquis]

he never wants to strip down to his feelings

[Marquis]

[Zachstralkita]

I'm late on this, but dude snapped. That first part just spoke to my soul a little bit.

I don't really keep up with rap beef though, and never listened to Reese La'Flare til today.

[PJ.]

Yo, these dudes can talk about stealing style all they want(and try to fight each other at festivals), but neither one of those dudes are even close to original. They both are rapping on recycled french montana/gucci beats and rapping in the same sing song style that Rich Homie/Kevin Gates and all those other trap mixtape guys from 3-4 years ago. And i'm sure that style goes bag further than that, I'm just to lazy to pin point it any further than that. Like, people been doing that sing song rapping for a while, fuck man Nelly was sing rapping 15 years ago.


Also, that diss track specifically(where is crying about uzi taking his style and album titles and shit) suspiciously sounds A LOT like J Cole. I love me some wrestling references though.

[Zachstralkita]

tbf if a nigga took my album names and whatnot id be upset too


Rocky and everyone wouldn't even have their styles w/o Three-Six Mafia so idk, who's really original

[The Bulge]

Superfast Jellyfish fish and white flag are both gr8
Every track off plastic beach is gr8

I agree with elbirn!

[The Bulge]

Birds in the trap and sun's tirade dropped a couple days ago and i can't stop listening to both

New Bino soon, new mick j, new Danny at the end of the month. I don't deserve this month

[Zachstralkita]

How is Birds in The Trap? I've only ever fucked with Travis minimally

also, Danny Brown is my spirit animal.

EDIT: I saw that dumb festival video, and Reese should have ran Uzi's fade if it was really like that, IDK.

Everything is derivative. I said the same shit when Sean and Drake were beefing years ago about the "supa dupa" flow. That was copped off Cam from like 2003.

[Zachstralkita]

there should just be a general rap thread, id put so much shit in there
