I won't lie, I've never been a fan of Gambino. I know Drake was also an actor who transitioned into rapping but Drake is far superior to Gambino. Gambino's music just pisses me off. Plus, Drake has arguably the best producer on the scene right now, 40.

Listened to Because The Internet about like 5 times over now and it is a really great album that might take you a little while to get since it is a meaningful concept album. Life The Biggest troll is definitely my favorite track off the album.

I was just looking through music I downloaded a while ago and I came across this:

The "original version" or some think the Part II to Dreams by Game. Way better than what made the album in my opinion. Remember when Game could rap and he was the hottest thing out of the West Coast. Thank God he wasn't trying to come up now cause he can't fuck with Kendrick lyrically.

I saw this list as well: http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/hottest-verses-of-2013-news.8595.html?gallery-13820-photo-0.

I think it's a joke. I agree with Kendrick's Control verse being on there and Eminem's Rap God verse (regardless of how criminally bad that beat was) but I'm not impressed by the rest.

love that track, but for right now I'm feeling the worst guys allot more right now

Yeah love that song as well. Has anyone else listen to The Soul Tape 3 yet? Imo might be the best one out of the 3 has some amazing tracks on there. Fav tracks are Hope, Situationships You know, Young OG and The get back. Whole thing is dope though.

That dreams original sounds like it could have been the radio version since I notice he doesn't cuss in that. Never heard that till now. As for that list I knew Drake's versace verse would be on there but it really just stands out because in comparison to what he was rapping with on that track. Verse was solid and his flow is what really made it but it is ranked way too high and not even Drake's best verse of the year let alone the 4th best period. List was meh thought stuff like Lupe's verse on Poor Decisions is missing, Kendrick's verse on Nostalgia, etc.

Loso needs more RESPECT DAMMIT! The mixtape was a killa.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

One thing I do remember is I never got the chance to finish my Marshall Mathers LP 2 review.

After a couple months, I've come to the conclusion that this album makes me respect Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 more than I did before.

@PHX how do you feel about Kendrick getting robbed at the Grammy awards for a white man. Has a black guy ever won over a white person before?

 

[PHX]

Felt sorry for him because even Macklemore himself admitted Kendrick got robbed and how some of the voters probably only picked him cause his named circulated in the industry more probably not even actually listening to Kendrick's music. As far as the white guy against black guy thing as far as hip hop goes I don't think so. Nothing against Macklemore though cause it is silly seeing some of these people shitting on him like he actually had control over if he won or not.

 

[Deezy]

Kendrick shoulda kissed up to homos like Macklemore than maybe he woulda got his due.

Have listened to Oxymoron about 4-5 times now and the album from top to bottom is pretty dope. Could see it being in my top albums of the year by the time 2014 is over. Doesn't really have any weak tracks on it. Collard Greens is the closest to a weak track but it is still decent. Gangsta, Fuck LA, The Purge, Hell of a night and prescription are probably my top 5 favorite tracks if I had to pick.

 

[Crippler]

just got done listening to it fav tracks off it are studio, prescription-oxymoron, the purge, hell of a night, man of the year but i really enjoyed the whole thing from top to bottom. Hell i even enjoyed 2 Chainz, defiantly gonna listen to again soon.

 

[PHX]

I was skeptical about that track with 2 Chainz tbh but when I heard it I was actually surprised by it esp with 2 Chains who actually spit a solid verse. Definitely think Studio should be his next single will probably be his most successful one. It is a perfectly good sounding radio record.
