The Music Thread

[SkipToMy_Lou]

Since there is a few thread going around with rap discussion in them. I decided to make this thread.

If possible can this thread be stickied?

Allright lets kick of this thread then

Anyone got Jedi Mind Trick's album The Visions of Ghandi?
I just heard of these guys a few days ago and now have 4 of their albums and am amazed by these rappers. There songs have great meaning, which makes you listen closely to every word they say.

Anyone else have any of Jedi Mind Tricks albums? If so post your thoughts.

[J@3]

Gotta wait to see how many replies it gets before it gets stickied...

[Tuomas]

no way anyone's gonna sticky this... why should it? there has been numerous rap threads before, why make a new one ?

[Matt]

Rap owns!!!!!

i don't have any Jedi Mind Tricks....might get some though

anyways, I've been listening to R&B lately, at this very moment I'm listening to Reflection Eternal

Can't wait for Nas' joint to drop. I was a bit disappointed with the production on Kwe's B Struggle

[Colin]

Why do people use the word 'joint' instead of album. It just makes them sound faux-ghetto. I have plenty of black friends and they all say album, and they also never say 'cop' as in 'to buy.'

I am also looking forward to the new album by Nas. Visit the Official Site for more info and short clips from 'The Thief's Theme,' 'Bridging the Gap,' and 'You Know My Style.' It is a double-cd by the way.

Mos Def's new album comes out next week make sure you go get it.

[Colin]

I completely forgot about that album. The super cool clerk at Sam Goody in Seattle noticed I was buying the old Blackstar album from 98, and said that Talib's album was coming out on this day, and Mos Def's on this day. Then two days later I saw Mos Def on Dave Letterman. The song he performed was alright, not great though.

50 Cent isnt a great rapper like most "wanna-bes"think he is...Llyod Banks and Y.B. are way better

That's not saying much. None of them are good, really.

[Jay-Peso]

50's got the better voice and he can rap like no other.

ANyone hear Just lose it?

Also, I think it's tight that Mase is back

[LouisvilleLip]

*puke* 50 cent, G-unit and Mase

Mos Def is goin to be on Jay Leno on the 11th and the next day (12th) he will be on Jimmy Kimmel. The new cd comes out on the 12th also.

[Matt]

joint is a cool word....i use it describe everything

Mos CD is out on the 12th, too bad I'm broke

[Bill Russell]

Who's better, Jurassic 5 or The Roots? They are highly regarded over here.

[Old School Fool]

The Roots.

Jedi Mind Trick's album The Visions of Ghandi?

I have Legacy Of Blood which is dark, not really listened to any of there other albums, but i probably will.

Who's better, Jurassic 5 or The Roots? They are highly regarded over here.

Whenever i think of The Roots or J5 they both remind me of The Souls of Mischief and The Pharcyde(Does anybody remember "Drop"), all of them raise the bar when it comes to Hip-Hop, they make it all worth while.

Hey, Matt when's Nas's new album being released in Australia?

[Dramacydal]

two upcoming albums, thats every thing you need:

Outlawz - Ghetto Gospel (1st quarter of 2005)
Cormega - The Testament (february 2005)

cant wait to COP these JOINTS!1111!!!111 aight, Colin?

[Matt]

oooh, I think Nov 17 (or was it december)...but we get it the same day it's released in the states

P.S The Roots- I think Black Thought needs to get more recognition, he's easily one of the best rappers. He's got real good lyrics and a cool voice

A joint is a name for where two things connect.

The Roots are better than J5 IMO, I do like Blackthought. I guess I'll probably get that Cormega album for my birthday.

[BMG]

i seen the roots and j5 both in concert and the roots definately have the better live set.
both are good artists but the roots live set hands down is jus 2 notches above most of the hiphop acts out these days.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

Just got Street Disciples by Nas, haven't had a real chance to listen to it yet. As I gotta leave for my first exam in an hours time, anyone else have it yet?

[Dramacydal]

^nope. would be cool if you could write a short review though, just lettin us know what its like.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

My brother brought the album yesterday, and I really haven't listened to it at all hardly (exams started yesterday, and have my maths exam tommorow). But album sounds good so far, probably the best songs are Suicide Bounce which features Ludacris, Bridging the Gap is a pretty interesting song feats his father.

Overall, after listening to his album a little I'll say that its proabably his best album since Illmatic.
