just picked up tickets to both nyc stops off the danny brown tour. seeing earl and ratking next weekend and couldn't be happier. going to catch action bronson and mobb deep at best buy and the next move will be trying to catch lakutis, heems (sweatshop boys) and the rest of the greedhead family when they come around

25 bucks is one of the better songs on old. it's a perfect depiction of his earlier days before things got too dark with drugs.
to me, it's very reminiscent of the fondness of hustling during your youth before the reality of drugs and real life settled in.

ive been waiting for this album since summer 2012. Lakutis does his thing and it's good to see DVS in there too. Lakutis is honestly one of the most genuine and nicest guys if you ever get the chance to meet him.
also, SCHOOLBOY Q SCHOOLBOY Q SCHOOLBOY Q...Oxymoron bangs, and this extra track gravy with clams casino is my shit right now.
i caught Earl Sweatshirt last week in brooklyn, and while the crowd was underwhelming it was a good show. Schoolboy Q came out during the encore and did Man of the Year which set shit off. Good week for rap.

I'm thinking of buying NWA's Straight Outta Compton, should I buy the 20th Anniversary edition or go with the standard version? Which one sounds better?

Good lord, look at this.
Wu-Tang Clan Announce Another New Album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. Only one copy will be produced.
In July, Wu-Tang Clan will release a new album, A Better Tomorrow, which coincides with the 20th anniversary of the group's debut. But Forbes reports that they're also set to release another LP, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, with a caveat: They're just making one copy of the double album, which was recorded in secret over the last few years.
The album, which features the group's original members, will be housed inside an engraved silver-and-nickel box created by British-Moroccan artist Yahya. According to RZA and producer Tarik "Cilvaringz" Azzougarh, the plan is to tour it through museums, galleries and festivals, where visitors will be charged a price to listen to the 128-minute, 31 song album on headphones provided by the venue. (Rigorous security checks will discourage the possibility of any illegal recording.)
"We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of [modern] music," RZA said in an interview with Forbes. "We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king." After the tour is over, the group will make the album available for purchase for a price "in the millions."
The project dates back to 1997, when Cilvaringz hopped on stage during a Wu-Tang show in Amsterdam. From there, he maintained a correspondence with RZA and eventually broached the idea of producing a new album in the late 2000s. "It took a long time," Cilvaringz said to Forbes. "After five years, I’m sitting here and I’m like, 'Am I really going to release this record and see it die after a week?'" He and RZA came up with the concept for the album's release, which is still in the planning stages as no exhibition dates have been confirmed.
Regardless of how it turns out—Cilvaringz acknowledges in the interview that the whole thing could turn into a bust—you could never accuse Wu-Tang for lack of ambition.

I was nobody. Nothing.
So.
Motherfucking OUTKAST is headlining Coachella.
Can i get a Ho..ly...shit?
Growing up i was REALLY into Busta Rhymes and the Fugees.
I also love me some Jay-Z...not the biggest Kanye fan, but Watch the Throne is one of my favorite albums of the past several years.
Eminem is fucking amazing.
Bone is eternal.
As far as the new school, man, Chance the Rapper...good god, he's the shit.
and if you like strange and you like rap, you MUST check out THIS...Subtle.

I barely saw her this morning (she's gonna be hella busy this weekend) but she said she heard them loud and clear she said she can get into the production area and I told her to scout out QOTSA for me.

lol @ anyone thinking this isn't 100% about Raekwon wanting more money.
8 Diagrams is very underrated btw. Revisited it recently and aside from 2 or 3 songs it's a very well produced and cohesive effort. Too bad Ghostface appears only on like three songs.
Also, I know it's part of the deal and thus there'll most likely won't be a tracklist for the double album, but it's my feeling, that A Better Tomorrow is the real deal. The double album has Cilvaringz attached to it - he's a "Wu Element", a producer/rapper from Marocco, who had the idea for this only-one-copy-thing and most likely executive produced the whole thing.

Posted this in the 2014 Appreciation thread, but it belongs here too:
The album is bound to be a contender for Best of '14.

Really looking forward to both Hail Mary Mallon and Shabazz Palaces.
Yet another good year for rap, it seems.
