To people that said Drake was making bad music on purpose to get out of his deal; I think now is the time to start making good music

I still cannot fathom how some people prefer Takeover to Ether

I would bet my life savings on Kendrick in a battle but I respect Joey Badass so much for this, let's rap this game back to health

Yeah everything's so subtle but once you get it it feels like you've discovered something

The vibes on this album are immaculate, so unique

I feel like it's been going this way for a while but it was in full swing in 2024.

It's a shame for me, I love the artform of the album and hate the red tape and the distractions from the music.

In all earnestness, in light of OG Maco's suicide attempt, I wanted to say that Fckemx3 had the exact fuck the world energy I needed in high school to get through the betrayal and ostracisation I dealt with.

Forever grateful to him for that.

Hope he recovers fully and finds what he was missing 🙏

ALL CAPS!

I’ve loved this song ever since I heard it on Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 as a kid and was pretending to be a radio DJ playing San Andreas hearing Critical Beatdown.

It’s so classic yet sounds so clean and remains cool unlike some songs of this generation that haven’t aged so gracefully. #RapSky

At least you saw the error of your ways 😆

I've been going through all the singles on RYM labelled as Drumless and found this really cool Brazilian track with 4 sick MCs spitting the craziest militant feminist bars! Check it out

Literally, oviously were in an age of quick reactions but why would anyone give credence to Forbes? They're not even a music publication let alone a Hip-Hop one.

Swerve... the reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding) Shabazz Palaces · Black Up · Song · 2011

Interdimensional is how I'd describe Swerve... by Shabazz Palaces.

An acid trip with friends is how it feels, the music just communicates primordial truth to me without knowing all the lyrics even. They sit in the music perfectly. Bittersweet like looking at galaxies in the night sky.

That's a crazy good ear. I swear I can hear pitch and time "correction" way more than most

YouTube video by GrayT! Captain Murphy - Duality [Short Film]

I go back to Flying Lotus' 2013 mixtape Duality, released under the moniker Captain Murphy, often.

Honestly creating an entire world with beats and skits in a style only upped by Madlib - who is credited on one.

Somewhat amateurish rhymes but full of entertaining character.

YouTube video by Black Acre Commodo feat. Rocks FOE - Set It Straight (Official Video)

Rocks FOE made my favourite songs by any UK rapper.

His 2015 EP Legion is legendary and his 2017 LP Fight the Good? Fight proves his versatility—from dark bars of demonology and witchcraft to knights, holy wars, and real-life romance with intricate flows and clever wordplay.

Wonder if Children of Men was referencing this film with the Guernica painting in a dystopian setting

Tribe Duke Deuce · Album · 2024 · 12 songs

Tribe, the new Duke Deuce & Made Men Mafia album goes so hard.

Familiar with Duke Deuce but Dugga G and Turnt LilThadd hold their own. Thadd's voice is crazy and Dugga got bars! "Monday Night serving RAW"

Not surprised often by hype rap but this really did. Like hearing Waka for the first time.

Maybe everyones true key centre is microtonal... 🤔

Do we each get two?

damn that makes a lot of sense to have a black woman play her

How come? I know literally nothing about this lol

YouTube video by RawSportsFilms Legendary SLAUGHTER RICO "5 DOLLA NI**A" 3 min. Freestyle" (Original Footage)

This Slaughter Rico freestyle from 2RawForTheStreets is still so legendary.

Immaculate flow, great chorus even though it's a freestyle, every verse is distinct and Rico's energy is off the charts.

I recall seeing people speculate whether he was high, weird to me but goes to show how hard he went.

tv off, luther, squabble up

Bad Dreams Are Only Dreams billy woods, Kenny Segal · Maps · Song · 2023

6 This song IS disassociation. That's how well it captures the essence to me.

"Can't quite grab the new me/
Old self dozing in an aisle seat"
"Search for my own black box in the hills"

The music is piercing to the core, how can just piano and sax make my mind float? It's what I love about music.

Sideways

There's 2 GNXs in the video
🤷‍♂️

Drake definitely gonna be cringe about it
