r3v Hip Hop, R&B, Rap Thread:

I've been getting pretty into CYNE lately.

[J.Rizo]

glad I searched for an existing hip hop thread before starting one.

this doesn't really seem like a discussion thread, but...

Rant 1:

I can't escape anything related to J.Cole or Kendrick lately and its really annoying. they're both talented, and I'm a fan of Kendrick myself, but holy shit do I think they're over credited.

both of them only have two albums, have not made a huge dent/influence in culture or music, etc etc. Kendrick is a great lyricist, and he has potential to grow, but hes already thrown into the GOAT discussions, and I don't think hes even close yet. same for J.Cole, but with less potential.

Rant 2:

every other day I hear older dudes comparing 90s hip hop to todays hiphop and wont stop with the "90s was real hip hop" "my era was the best era" etc etc.
its like comparing new cars to old cars. things change, get over it. every generations music is "better than the next". rock, house, hiphop, r&b, every single genre. back in the day the dads and grandpas talked shit about acdc and Led Zeppelin and said it wasn't rock n roll, and then the fans of that music discredited rhcp, nirvana etc, and those guys blah blah blah blah you get my point, its just annoying when people cant realize how biased and subjective they're being.

wanna know a fun fact about Bryson tiller?











hes really legit though. I saw him open for Travis Scott a while back and I was hooked. that was actually the first time he had ever performed on stage, was really cool to be there for that.

That last vert is hot.

What's "Family Mobile"?

[J.Rizo]

What's "Family Mobile"?

its T-Mobile but when you get it through walmart. its cheap af because the sims come in pos flip phones (and because walmart is just cheap). its not really a different company, it uses the T-mobile towers, just marketed as family mobile.

I only pay about 50 dollars a month but I get to have it in my iphone. best phone deal out there. I never have dropped calls, the internet is fast, and I veeeeeeery rarely run out of data. only happens if I accidentally leave the wifi off and go unconnected for a while. and by a while I mean it has to happen for about five days throughout the month.

I would do it just for the family mobile.

well, to get us back on topic, anyone excited for anything in 2016? hip hop wise of course...

all I can think about is swish.



EDIT:

a few hours after my original post ^^^ kanye dropped facts to end his 2015.
pretty cool track for what it is. obviously just a quick single he recorded, not a full production track off of swish or anything. just a quick "I'm the shit and I know it" banger.

I love all the shit talking about Nike lol. I'm a die hard Nike fan/collector, but I gotta respect the fact that Kanye is making such a huge ass impact with what hes doing with adidas.


some of the Nike bits from facts vvv


"I done talked a lot of shit but I just did the numbers
Herzog and Adidas, man you know they love it
If Nike ain't have Drizzy, man they wouldn't have nothin', woo!
If Nike ain't have Don C, man they wouldn't have nothin', ooh!"

"Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, they line up for days
Nike out here bad, they can't give shit away"

"I ain't dropped the album but the shoes went platinum (Woo!)
Every time I talk they say I'm too aggressive
I was out here spazzin', all y'all get the message?"

"Yeezy in the house and we just got appraised
Nike, Nike treat employees just like slaves
Gave LeBron a billi' not to run away (Yo!)"
