Kings Disease 2 dropping next week!

Look forward to another Nas album be the soundtrack for the end of this summer.

I hope Eminem doesn’t ruin it.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I hope Eminem doesn’t ruin it.

The same thought occurred to me when I saw it 

[naYoRHa2b]

I hope Eminem doesn’t ruin it.

Yeah he probably will unfortunately. Unless he goes MMLP era Eminem and that won't happen. I thought Kamikaze and both sides of MTBMB were great but Eminem exists in that space only. Even his verse on fat Joe's lord above..it was a great verse but it just sounded out of place with the rest of the record. That'd be my worry here as well.

[AndyMuller]

I just know Eminem will rap completely off topic to what the song is about in some super fast lyrical miracle flow. I hope not though seeing as the song is called EPMD 2 and also features EPMD!

Looking forward to the song with Lauryn Hill more.

The Dipset vs LOX Verzuz was highly entertaining. Jadakiss absolutely killed it all night.

Jada set them on fire, killed them, brought them back to life only to annihilate  them again for the hell of it

I actually cannot believe how good he was all night. He has always been one that hasn’t hit the top tier as his albums always fall short. He should take advantage of all the good press he’s getting and drop an album by the end of the week 

[AndyMuller]

DONDA sounds amazing and Kings Disease 2 is really good. I turned off EPMD 2 halfway through Eminem’s verse though, fucking does my head in.

It was better than I thought it was going to be. Payed homage to a lot of greats.

He did but it was the flow. He is always off beat that it just doesn’t sound good to the ear especially after Nas laced it before him.

Recorded 4 days ago at Lollapalooza.

KD2 is a great album. Love it. 

[AndyMuller]

KD2 is a great album. Love it.

Better than the first for me, which I also enjoyed.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Better than the first for me, which I also enjoyed.

Agreed on both counts.

Nas should stick Hitboy as his producer, they have great chemistry.

[Mactavish]

KD2 is a great album. Love it.

Best rap album I've heard in a long time.

Lauryn Hill fucking kills it on Nobody

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Time to rerank my Nas albums

1. Illmatic
2. It Was Written

6. Stillmatic

Anyone listening to Donda?

Drake dropping on Friday too

[Shepnois]

There's plenty of good stuff on Donda. Its bloated, too many features and not enough Kanye but when its good its really good.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

It's too long. There are some good tracks on there, but not enough of Kanye lyrically for me to consider listening to this multiple times.

So far, KD2 is the album of the year.

Off Season for me, but I should give KD2 more spins first

[AndyMuller]

It’s shite.

[AndyMuller]

The new Drake album is pretty bad.

[naYoRHa2b]

Not sure why Kanye had God breeding on a track. Seems a bit odd.

I talk to God every day, that's my bestie
They playin' soccer in my backyard, I think I see Messi 

Kanye will never not be a trash tier lyricist.

[Shepnois]

The new Drake album is pretty bad.

It's just really boring, been a while since he did anything interesting. His die hard fans will love it.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Drake album is also too long, its better than Donda but KD2 is galaxies better than both.

Nit enough rapping, too much singing

[AndyMuller]

AZ - Doe or Die 2 sounds good on first listen.

I have to say Lil Wayne has been on top form on his most recent features, he is back to his early Carter 2 days.

My fella got me tickets to see Little Simz in December for my birthday, and it reminded to post in here about how it's a toss-up between Simbi and Tyler for AOTY. If she doesn't become a huge star it'll be a travesty, I honestly think she's the most talented artist to come out of this country in years and years and years.

Dr Dre, Snoop, Eminem, Mary J Blige and Kendrick doing the Superbowl half time show in February. What a fucking lineup that is

Little Simz is really good, loved her last album and I’ll have to give her new one a listen!

[AndyMuller]

Sad to see another rapper shot dead (at a cookie shop ffs).

RIP Young Dolph.

[GinKop]

Just found this thread on page 3.

New Russ and Baby Keem albums are definitely worth a listen.

[Malaysian Kopite]

New Nas album MAGIC just dropped

[Snail]

God, every now and again I go through a phase where I listen to nothing but clipping. Daveed Diggs is incredible.

(Skip to 15 minutes for the start then watch it all if you get the time, we stuck this on NYE instead of watching telly )

This is great, Sian! Never listened to these before but I enjoyed that 

[Johnnyboy1973]

Che Noir album is good

[AndyMuller]

New Pusha T single produced by Kanye drops at midnight called “Diet Coke”.
