Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

[bdrummond]

These three months may actually make it super easy to quit: If it's DOC I may be in for that month, if it's Ice T then it's a pass (all respect to Ice T but I've never actually enjoyed his music). For me by far this would be the weakest three months since I've started.

i get why many dislike chief keef.. but i cant agree... not just because he inspired what is in the 3 way tie for my favorite kanye album (yeezus is a masterpiece change my mind), but also i don't like is banger, love sosa was a great song, the production is just killer, and it inspired a whole generation of rap the same way 808s and heartbreak did or the same way that outkast did

I get the whole inspired a generation thing, but I have yet to be impressed by anything Chief Keef adjacent in the last 10 years, the whole generation seems meh?

I put on two seconds each of about three Chief Keef songs, said to myself "man I'm fucking old" and decided to never do that again.

You're not old. Keef is just terrible.

The thought of putting Keef on a fancy vinyl set up has always been kind of hilarious to me.

Granted Keef is more of a star than the rest of the Chicago drill scene but that music has always been by and for those kids living that life. Not for me

 

[duke86fan]

i'd totally be good for the D.O.C.. E-40 is the only kinda weird one because of the issue of mid 2000s CDs

I know right....I can think of a lot of examples of things - music or otherwise - that inspired a generation for the worse.

Chief Keef is garbage.

 

[duke86fan]

eh we will agree to disagree.. i think the album has a ton of fun bangers and is entertaining and definitely lead the way to even better artists like playboi carti (whole lotta red has a LOT of energy similar to i don't like) or lil uzi vert (openly admitted to being a fan) or juice WRLD (was his favorite rapper)

he basically invented SoundCloud and mumble rap at only like 17

If it’s 40, DOC & Keef, I’m in for all 3. 40 & Keef are 2 regional styles they haven’t done yet. And that DOC album was part of the beginnings of g-funk.

Doesn’t look like I’ll be interested in anything in the other tracks thankfully so it’ll be a light first quarter for me.

I don’t think this is the selling point you think it is.

E-40 is unfortunately not my cup of tea, in general I’m a bit worn on all the southern rap VMP constantly releases. West Coast is seriously under served by this sub

Isn’t E-40 from Oakland?

Legit we so need more West coast love.. like before the one this February we've got like... 4 albums from the entire West coast.. it's either new York, Midwest, and most likely the South, probably because they have a lot of nostalgia for 2000s bling era rap

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I just didn’t think the future would sound so crummy.

 

[Ghost]

By golly you’re right! His sound had me fooled .

Also, I know The D.O.C. is from Dallas but No One Can Do It Better is a proto-G-Funk album. Produced by Dr. Dre and originally released on Ruthless.

So next three months we got:

A west coast album that sounds like a southern rap album
A southern rap album that sounds like a west coast album
A Chicago rap album that sounds like a Klingon rap album

West Coast album all the way. And "The Grand Finale" is an absolute top tier NWA cut!
