Hey guys,
Just wanted a forum for chatting about hip-hop really so here it is
Anyone listened to the new Logic album yet? What's the general consensus?
Got any recently released recommendations worth checking out?
I thought the new Wale album sounded pretty cool, easy listening. Stro's (Previously know as Astro) 'Grade A Frequencies' has some good moments as well

The Logic album is just another one of his "I'm half black, half white, I left the house when I was 15, growing up was hard" constantly biting Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Drizzy snooze fests. Rap's been pretty quiet for the last month or two unless you're a Kendrick dick rider.

Not really into the mainstream rap/hip-hop. Anyways, I'm hyped for The Underachievers new album coming out. The songs they've put out so far have been great.
Gibbs' lastes was pretty good. He also said he has 'Bandana' with Madlib coming, hopefully.
Spark Master Tape's latest EP was fucking DOPE!
I'm also waiting on them to release Sean Price's posthumous album. Supposedly that's supposed to drop this month???

Not that into mainstream either but i have to say i like new Kendrick Lamar. At least those tracks i've heard. Humble is really good.

Man I feel uncool already. Didn't realise this shit was mainstream. I wouldn't know where to look for underground rap.
Latest Kendrick album was really good for me. Different style to the previous stuff but he's always reinventing with each release so that suits me.
I did think the new Logic album sounded a bit cliche though. It's a shame as I thought Under Pressure was brilliant and it's been downhill since then

Mainstream hip hop is the shit. Bring it. The new Kendrick Lamar was a huge bummer, can't listen to it. Desperately mediocre.

I That's weird, because I know he used to be on Spotify as in most of his stuff. If you haven't really listened to him, I highly recommend it. He may be off putting at first, but his shit is so fire I fucking love it. Sometimes I don't even think he's a real person, just a robot created in a lab where they combined DNA samples of Tupac, Big L, and some other rappers.

I remember you guys giving him love on the old site so I downloaded his mixtapes back when I used an iPod. Now that it's all on my phone I tend to only use Spotify so it's a bit of a bummer. Hopefully it'll get on there at some point. You're right though it's definitely good shit
