O.G. Loc (Trouble T)

Rap & Hip Hop section what it izzzzz....what's good duns? It's been a mad @ss minute since I logged onto here...what's good. Any dudes from 2010-2012 still f*cking around here? What's the status quo LOL.

Ummmm RHH questions...

RHH1: Favorite release this year? Gimme your top 5....I could do with some recs

RHH2: Anyone peer that Aesop/Homeboy Sandman joint? Thoughts? Me likey alot...great little project.

NRHH: Does anyone play poker here seriously? I just got into properly on my down time.

Good to be back here G's, some mad memories.....

Actually, try and mix the old with the new...get a good mix goin...It doesn't have to be in any specific order if that's too much of a challenge...just a simple draft...maybe a little explanation next to each one too for his inclusion....that'd be dope...

Just looking to see what people think....

Soooo RHH, what's good...it's been a minute....

So um yeah Quasimoto/Lord Quas/Madlib/etc. has a new project called "Yessir Whatever" that apparently is due out in a few weeks but has been heavily leaked....like I know dudes who've been spinning this in April....

...but uhm yeah I only gave it a play a few days ago but I've been going back to it... I was kinda cheesed that some of the songs are old but yo dun it's Quas.... Production for me was on point as expected from Madlib...lyrics were more of the same for me too even though Madlib himself seemed to be stretching over the mic a little more than he should...I'm not hatin tho...

Overall I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 which might improve with age...

Soooo, what you all make of it? Rate....Review....Discuss etc.

Chi-town legend arguably....punchline monster....very consistent discography....very appealing underground artist I think....so yeah what do you think of him?

What do you like and dislike about him? Love and hate about dude?

Rate his albums....

The Darkest Cloud

Worst Fears Confirmed

Armor Of God

If this gets three serious and proper answers I'll be dayumned....

Now don't get me wrong the guy is a decent battle rapper but after this whole Canibus thing, dudes have been riding the b*tch like crazy, which is wack because Diz should have got credit like that (to a lesser degree of course) nearly two years ago.....but yeah what's with people??? Dude uses the same sh*t every battle and looks like a constipated b*m marching around the place screaming corny sh*t.

I bring this up because I was re-watching a couple of battles of Soul Khan (Who would dump Diz in some deep sh*t over 3 rounds) and some f*g was butting up to Diz.....again. I then went onto that vid of Diz and NoCanDo and loads of people were claiming Diz won....that's some herb sh*t. To me NoCan killed that. I maybe biased towards Jimmy because he's a dope battle rapper, freestyler and an artist. Walk The Void is a 4.5/5 for me if not more...

And oh yeah Diz is one of the worst "rappers" period. He cannot rap..

So I've said my piece. What y'all make of Diz??

I meant to get my own one of these up and going last week but I was busier than I thought but I've time now.... So yeah you probably know the drill with this thing.... It's the exact same as what Cage does.... Just I've got my own tastes like everyone and thought I'd spread the...am...Illness. This is my second one. You'll find the first in my questions back along a bit. It's Buff1 - Pure if you're too lazy.... So yeah the rec's. I'll restart this with something not too unknown but I haven't seen it mentioned in a long @ss time so I thought it'd be fitting. I'm sure and I hope at least

2 people have heard this...but I'm sure most will not... I'll stop blabbing on now lol

Artist: Tanya Morgan. Don't let the name fool you. This is not a female rapper...it's a trio of dudes hailing from Brooklyn and Cincinnati...although I'm sure it's just a duo now...anyway three honest dudes who make dope music. Similar to who? Well you'll catch glimpses of De La Soul, ATCQ, Little Brother and The Roots and that sorta ish...

Album(s): These guys have never put out a subpar effort imo but their best effort is 'Brooklynati'. This is a concept album of a fictional place consisting of Brooklyn and Cincinnati. Clever huh??...the album basically just gives you the feel of the places and is good upbeat hip hop with topics ranging from women, to brag raps to hip hop itself. Features include Blu and Phonte. Great great album. For me it's a 4.5/5. It just might scrape my top 100 albums but with a push...Their next best album is Moonlighting, their debut. They also have just dropped an album but I haven't peeped yet...I'm expecting a good joint though of course. Be on the lookout though duns

Tracks:

She's Gone (Without You) ft. Phonte

^Those won't go clicky blue like that.... my bad dunnys but Y!A can be sticky with youtube links...as for dl links, I checked around fast this minute and found em so you should be aight like blood money in a pimps c*m....

So yeah peep the tracks and if you like (which everyone damn should) check em out....

So yeah I seen that people on here knew it dropped but yeah what y'all make of it?? I'll be dead @ss.... I only found out yesterday it dropped....but yeah I downloaded it yesterday and I listened to it after coming home last night. I hadn't planned to but I wasn't even drunk because I was 'minding' this kinda friend of mine who took a fancy to a drink that was clearly spiked with some sh*t...but yeah she's potential future poon so I played the gentleman and minded her drunk and stoned @ss...

anyway back to the album. So yeah I got home after only a handful of beers and peeped the album...I'm not even gonna attempt remembering the name of it lol. So yeah listened to it, did a little tipsy jamming to it and you know what it's a pretty decent album. I mean I wasn't expecting nothing much because I slept on this album big but it was pretty dope. Especially the Large Pro/Cormega collab which was bound to be a highlight...but seriously props to PE. Another credible album...in comparison to KRS's album this year it's bananas...I'm gonna hold back on a rating because I haven't given it my custom 3 spins but hell yeah it's pretty good...

wanna link?

BQ: So I noticed this place isn't breathing well these days regardless of Nas' album being out...so I was thinking...would y'all like if I did a like a Stop Sleepin series thing? I've done one issue before that was greeted positively and meant to carry on but other sh*t got in the way but now sounds a good time with this place polluted with Nas, trolls and I Love Ice Cube chick talk...so would ya like that? I'll do ish thats relatively unknown but the important thing would be to provide consistent illness and expand knowledge you know? I could care less if some ppl will have heard some albums I push but if I just helped a handful I think I'd be doin a good deed.... Just shout yay or nay...no biggie either way...no love lost dun duns

This is inspired by a chat I had with a few dudes the other night....opinions were divided but both sides seemed persuading and all that....so yeah what you make of Kris? If it isn't too much please don't just say 'I like him' or 'I don't like him' or 'he's okay'. A little detail and reason behind your pick would be nice...I'll hold back my opinion on him just for the sake of it...

BQ: Favorite KRS-One album?

BQ2: Favorite KRS-One track?

BQ3: Where would dude lie on your GOAT list? If you're not into that...favorites list?

First of all I'm not a regular in this section.... I'm mostly in the RHH section but I've always had an interest in wrestling. I'll be honest I haven't been following with a few years besides a few main events but yeah in the last few days or so I've been going over old dvds and videos of matches and ish....so yeah my question. What's your opinion on Chris Benoit??

I'll reserve my opinion on him for the sake of neutrality but I do have honest respect for the guy...I'll leave it at that.

So yeah what's your verdict on him?? Technical abilities...ring abilities/presence...mic presence...storylines, feuds etc...influence and legacy...and of course his demise and death.

You don't have to discuss all the stuff I've mentioned but I'd appreciate and think it would be better if you did...I know I suppose it's somewhat ignorant or wrong to talk about his death but I am particularly interested in the Wrestling's sections opinion on him considering his death and that ish...but yeah if it's no hard task, just go through the aspects of his career and life please and state your opinion of him!!! Anyway ye probably know the dilly

anyway...

Thanks in advance....Peace.

....because I haven't. I forgot all about it until yesterday and I've been struggling to find any link.... So yeah to those who have checked it out.... How was it? And more importantly gimme a damn link!!! Thaaaank you very much.

For those who are kind of like myself, the joint is called Lgorithms. I've seen a review of it and it said it was nicer than his 'Lbum' from last year which was pretty dang dope.

BQ: What did you think of Imaginarium? Rate 1-10

BQ2: Yo where the hell is everyone? I'd a quick peep at the questions and whatnot here just a minute ago and this place seems damn empty. Shouldn't most of y'all be like doing nothing seeing it's summer and all that. Whut happened? I haven't been on in a while.

Well....I think I'm bi-polar. Or I've got some f*ck up with my mind or something....I'm 17. Can y'all please list out all the signs or symptoms that a 17 year old could be bi-polar....

Thanks and Peace....

Ok so a friend told me of some website that you can safely buy contact lenses that are seriously cheaper than normal....but I can't remember the website name and I can't get in contact with my friend until next week or so. All I remember from the site was two boxes for your left and right eye prescription reading and a dropdown box of all the different brands of contact lenses....there must have been 100's of different brands....I know this isn't much help but if someone can help thanks!

Oh btw, I might be wrong but I think the site name had "focus" in it. I could be wrong but just a thought....thanks in advance yo

Much respect to Preemo for making a decent list again this year....your thoughts?

BQ: What albums suprised you to get a mention??

Peep that:

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.18202/title....

Expectations for the album? I for one think it'll be dope. Apollo Brown is slowly becoming one of the best producers in the game and O.C. has stayed fairly consistent lyrically over the years...

BQ: Favorite albums Apollo Brown & O.C. have been part of?

I've been meaning to recommend/introduce this album to the section with a long time....I'm certain some have heard this, but I never see it mentioned so this is why this is needed.

Artist: Buff1 - This dunny is from Ann Arbor in Michigan. Ring any bells, no?? Well you probably know little about him, but you've heard him on Masters Of The Universe. He's part of a dope group called the Athletic Mic League and is also an affiliate of One Be Lo & Decompoze. So you know what he's like. Dude is similar to One Be Lo in ways...you'll get it in a bit...

Album: Pure [2007] This album is pure dopeness. Y'all know the quality of sh*t that came out that year, and this is lyrically one of the best of the year. Buff1 is solid throughout this effort and switches up the subjects from brag rap to the streets to love raps. Production is very nice too, mostly handled by a dude called Waajeed, another underrated cat. But it gets better, features come in the form of One Be Lo, Elzhi, Guilty Simpson amongst others. So you know sh*t is tight

This album is at least a 4.5/5 and is most def a great listen and remains that way after countless spins.

Tracks:

Sooooo yah....enjoy!

Okay, so this account is my main Yahoo! Mail account etc...but I was going through some documents that had my other email address on it (an account I forgot about)....

So I tried to sign in with this "forgotten" account and up came a screen saying to type in the code to re activated this account. So I did and they said that within 24 yours "the forgotten" account will be re activated...that seems fine.

But I find it somewhat weird...why would I need to re activate it?? I didn't delete the account. I haven't used it in months yah but still why would I need to do this??? Any help appreciated....thanks

Just name your 5 favorites and rate each one out of ten, or five, or whatever....it can be solo, part of group or an album where he was in charge of most of the production on the album....aight??

Mine:

1. Mr. Lif - I Phantom - 9.75

2. Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein - 9.5

3. Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus - 9

4. El-P - Fantastic Damage - 8.5

5. El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead - 8.5

BQ: Buy or Sell: It took a long time for El-P to grow on you? For me, definitely so. I remember when I first heard Funcrusher Plus a couple of years ago it was a damn awful experience, but it really grew on me...mind you it took a long @ss time. Same with The Cold Vein, but not as much because I was used to that style of production.....so you?

[Hopefully this question won't be a complete failure lol]

BQ: Having listened to this, are you expectations for the EP as high?

Okay so I was having a casual chat with someone earlier and I mentioned how I was getting a haircut later on....that led to her naming a few cuts that she said would look well on me. One was the faux hawk...got me thinking you know. Do you think it'd look dope on a black dude?? I know it's common on white guys but what about the brown sauce?? So yah thanks.....
