I think Kraftwerk either won something or was honored in some way at the Grammys and it was not televised...I'm convinced the Grammys are a shit show...by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
@uptownkid ...yep ... I'm on vacay so I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on some projects...right now I'm in the land of the Wu...in light of his recent television debut on Couples Therapy, first on the list is Ghostface's 12 reasons to dieby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

So I keep hearing about a new BDP album in the works. There have been some murmurings about Krs and D-nice finally linking back up after not really dealing with each other for a long time. Is this something that we should be excited about?by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Like I said upthread ,I dug Pimpire...Marci Beacoup is definitely growing on me but Reloaded is still my favorite. I have to say though that taking a further look at this production on this new joint ...These looped beats are really beginning to make the music sound monotonous IMO. He definitely captured his signature gritty,unmistakable steely NY sound but I would love to hear how he would sounby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
^^^It's mad dark isn't it? It's some ridin' music..Rollin up to the chicken spot at 3:00am in the summertime type shit...he's really coming into his own as a producer ...is it better than Marcberg...That's debatable. Hell, I even enjoyed Pimpire...(don't judge me lol)by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Nelson Mandela, what a legacy he has left behind, his brilliance, his eloquence,his grace...he was more revolutionary than people give him him credit for. RIPby hiphopchiq1 - General Discussion
I actually had Nipsey Hussle's Crenshaw($100-ha!) and Ab Soul's Control System (not sure if that's the name) on rotation...however now thanks to @DJBOOMBAP(good lookin homie) Pusha T's My Name Is My Name has replaced both ...and poor Drake(NWTS) has been sitting in my hard drive for weeks now gathering dust ..maybe I'll get around to lisetening to it...someday lolby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Haven't listened to it yet...um yeah ..so he was always iller than his brother...I'll be sure to give it a listen .Loved the Clipse' approach to trap music. The cocaine shit (although kinda repetitive)was why I was listening in the first place. I'm kinda rootin' for Pusha..so about Kendrick...I like him but he's not the next Messiah...I do find if he were to be heldby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Is this a new single?I do not like this at all I have always welcomed Em's signature "court jester of hip-hop" first singles..humor infused with pop culture references. This new single is a case of doing too much. It's almost like he's forcing his audience to remember that he was the "first White guy to ever do it". That kind of thinking is beneath him at this pby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
@GMM I used to work with Pebblee Poo... cool peoples.she had plenty of stories about the "early days" of hip-hop I'm just gonna say that I appreciate all the ladies that have been involved since rap's inception...just like in any other male dominated industry, I'm sure it was not easy getting their voices heard. I'll just leave it at that.by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Drake's Take Care....I'm so sick of dudes makin' thugs sing and his "when thugs cry' sensibility.he's like some sort of weird Lionel Richie of hip hop ..still haven't gotten the hype although I Loove Lionelby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Quoteuptownkid QuoteBM31 Two; A lot of cats don't have a clue about the basic rhythm cadence.... ....So I was not surprised to read that this DJ had no timing mechanism inside his head.In which it is almost ompossible to DJ without it.Or else you end up with nights like that. I cannot! peace.by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

@uptownkid @jaybrown...For the most part ..Late Registration,College Dropout Kanye is probably gone forever...musically he is not in that space...the closest thing that even remotely resembles any of those offerings on this current album is a joint called "Bound 2" ...it's soulful and very reminiscent of the Kanye you speak of. Like I said before Kane's arrogant self believeby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Ok so Yeezus... Sonically, it is interesting to say the least. Its basically an explosion of sounds none of which are soulful or melodious. It sounds like an on going throwback video game.That's fine because he's been experimenting with this sound ever since "stronger". It's synth-heavy,electronic it's cacophonous and while I appreciate that aspect I do like forby hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Hopefully, I'll be listening to Yeezus this evening..I have a feeling I may be in the vent thread with my review..I'll keep you posted.by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

I'm still down south ...I'm giving Jeezy's "The Recession" a third listen..he got a lot of flack for this record because everyone wants him to keep making some variation of THug Motivation 101 or relive his trap or die joints ,but this was a very different Jeezy very introspective and dare I say, political?by hiphopchiq1 - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Shut'em down remix-was straight up crazy anytime I hear those horns in the club it's a problem ..heels ,flats,sneaks IDGAF I goes off when that comes on!
