I like Papoose but my boy Rosenberg set him straight. Happy things didn't get too out of hand.

My interest in the Hall Of Fame album has been up ever since he dropped fire. Fire, control and fire make up for the underwhelming tracks he first came out in Guap and Switch Up. Beware is solid too.

[MENTION=483]PHX[/MENTION] you listen to "Hall Of Fame" yet?

 

[PHX]

Nah not yet meant to download it yesterday but going to download it today.

 

[Crippler]

I wasn't impressed.

 

[PHX]

Any reason why?

 

[Crippler]

Every song felt a little to popish. Not him at all.

I'm probably not going to like it much either then but still gonna give it a listen. I'm sure all the no I.D tracks will at least have dope production and Key Wane is hit or miss. Hit when he does those old pre 808 and heartbreak Kanye type beats miss when he does 808 based beats.

Need to listen to Rapsody's project as well.

Papoose took that shit too far with his response to Kendrick's verse. He's basically the only rapper that outright insulted Kendrick in his response. Lupe took a few shots but not as blatantly as Pap did. Kendrick wasn't insulting anyone in his verse so any disses in return just look stupid.

I'm not a huge Key Wane fan. 24k of Gold and Life Should Go On were good but other than that I haven't heard too much from him that I've liked. Beware was a good track and First Chain was good but overall I expected this album to be better.

In other news, I'm sure we all heard that Nothing Was the Same has been pushed back a week to a Sept 24 release date.

We did get the cover art though:



and a possible deluxe edition cover:

He did the beat for memories which was awesome, higher, almost wrote you a love song. He's made some dope beats but he's made a lot of forgettable ones too. I agree about the album listened to it last night and will give it another listen but on first listen it is just alright. Album that you'd have to use the skip button more than you'd like to. The M.I.L.F song surprised me found Nicki's verse to be pretty entertaining and the song as a whole. Pretty average album overall.

Rapsody's She Got Game mixtape is amazing and worth a listen. Doesn't have a track on it that I find skipable. Fat Joe's Darkside 3 production wise is incredible. Some of the tracks were alright when it came to his lyrics but overall it's worth a listen too. Apparently Lil Wayne is dropping dedication 5 today. Will listen to it but his last 2 mixtapes blew hard so my expectations are very very low.

 

[Crippler]

I refuse to listen to anything Wayne puts out these days.
