BabyTron is this year‘s 10th Spot Winner as he did the last freestyle for this year‘s XXL Freshmen Class.

Not a huge fan of rap to be honest, but this song will always sit nicely for me:

Ain't no gangstas living in paradise.

So last night Metro Boomin released HEROES & VILLIANS, which is the second part of his now announced trilogy with his first album being NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES. It turns out he put this song with Travis Scott and 21 Savage on the album, and the significance of this is that was originally an unreleased Travis Scott song that dates back to 2018/2019, possibly around the time Astroworld was released.

Either way, it mostly sounds unchanged, save for audio and production mixing that had to be slightly tweaked for modern standards.

Cam’ron is the only rapper that could rap over the ESPN Monday Night Football theme and sound entertaining over it:

I used to listen to a lot of rap but I'm pretty strongly against it now.
It's either nigger soul-rotting materialism or wimpy woke nigger shit.
When I'm in a mood I really enjoy listening to Wignat rap though. The juxtaposition of cartoonish racism with ooga booga beats is great.
I think everyone knows Mr Bond but for those that don't

Thought I'd post this here since it's going viral at the moment. And it's unusual.

An all Japanese girl group from the Japanese music company Avex, the one that does the DDR music. Trained by South Korean Kpop company in dance. Who then do Western Rap and R&B in English.

With the recent discovery of Danny Brown's appreciation for the forum I feel like it's only appropriate to share 3 songs from my 3 favorite albums.

1) XXX

2) Black and Brown

3) Hybrid

It was hard choosing songs because I like most of the songs on all 3.

I just had a thought today that only really old or really new hip hop is worth listening to... that 2000s era was just MTV marketed dogshit and didn't age well at all

Dont get this confused with me saying rap is only good if it's underground (I was listening to Gucci Mane and then Gravediggaz's debut album while coming to this conclusion, food for thought though I guess).

I'd say most of 2010s was much worse, and still is today.

fuck no. tf? Spaceghostpurrp and Raider Klan in general (2011) gave the genre an entirely new evolutionary sound that still persists to this day
