Hip Hop, Rap, Grime 2017

Would love to see gambino on the farm he's a class act

Nope, no, not even Donald Glover makes James Corden worth suffering.

Got some beef with Reggie Watts as well because he made a gag during his sat at Latitude this year about Taylor Swift "singing those songs other men wrote for her", which struck me as pretty massively sexist that he would just automatically assume not only that she doesn't write her own music (she actually does yo) but that it was men who did write it. Also assumes that there's no artistic merit in being only a singer and performer but you actually have to write all your own music otherwise you're a total charlatan and a puppet, which is complete bullshit. And now I find out he's in league with James Corden!? You're on very thin ice here, Reg.

Christmas mixtape!!!!

Get a load of the Hannibal Buress hot feature.

[priest17]

Any chance of these guys? I didn't know they were still performing, this is amazing though, I'd be happy with this anywhere

 

 

 

[EighteenSixty7]

Won't be at the festival but Merry fucking Christmas, yes!!

Looking forward to it but Lupe's been kinda erratic recently which isn't usually an omen for a solid album. Tho I didn't pick up Cudi's latest and I hear that's decent all things considered.

Have been revisiting early Lupe recently cos with his retirement (lol) I read a few opinions about how Lupe should've been where Kendrick is at now off his first two - skillful, intellectual rap comparison I guess - and I dunno, it might be true. But I guess it's not game over for Lupe anyway with this coming out.

Also anyone checked out Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix? I'm a couple of episodes in and it's really interesting. I don't suppose it's a whole overarching thing as the first ep was about its advent with breakbeat and stuff and the second one was adding rapping to the beats so there'd be a lot to cover in the last two episodes but it tells a good story of the origins.

He can rap circles round anyone. If Atlantic hadn't fucked hin over so badly with Lasers then he'd have followed a more natural path. His first two albums are top tier. Tetsuo & Youth was stellar too.

He hasn't helped himself with his antics on Twitter though.

This ends his Atlantic contract, then there's DROGAS and Skulls to come out. Where we'll see the proper lyrical Lu.

 

I've watched the first one. Thought it was superb.

Not sure if this is the best topic to post this, but has anyone seen that Kanye West looks like he's doing some sort of Collaboration with Cage the Elephant? Not sure what to make of it....

 

 

[evannn]

Interesting enough to get me to listen to Cage the Elephant again, loved their debut album but never listened to anything since

[dentalplan]

It's nothing to do with Ye. Just some low-level attention seeking rapper on Twitter.

Nah I think CTE were playing along with it for a laugh or something. This King Myers guy changed his handle to 'Kanye West', copied his picture and followed and messaged loadsa Kanye fans to promote this collab and now he's on about being signed to GOOD Music - not really how anyone with any credentials would act.

Good spot to be fair - part of me is disappointed mind

Where would Childish Gambino play, it's a question I'm finding very hard to answer

unfortunately i think the answer is that he probably won't play, but if i had to hazard a guess i'd say maybe third down West Holts or subbing John Peel

[Amy Lawn]

Guy with his hot take on hip hop in 2017, like a man with a hot take on the existence of recorded sound accompanying motion picture in the 1940s.

I feel myself agreeing with him not being there, that seems very likely. 

[Nduja]

Rae Sremmurd please

[EighteenSixty7]

It's impossible to get bored of this Tribe album. If we get them at the farm there's potential for tears.

[Mme Chevalier]

Current wish list judging on albums of late last year:

Kool Keith

RTJ

Danny Brown

Prophets of rage (although not looking likely judging by euro fest clashes)

repping UK I'd love Riz MC/Swet Shop Boys, Loyle Carner, Trim
