Hip Hop (Boom Bap) - The Thread

Absolutely harrowing news. 

RIP the super genius.

Fuuuuck, RIP ZLX, either unmarked or engraved hey who's to say

Operation Doomsday is like a 17-mic album

Ugh wtf rip

im very confused and conflicted by this.  he died october 31st?  yet for the past month or two they did an insane amount of selling of merch which he never does.  no cause of death.  for a normal rapper or producer i wouldn't question it but this dude didn't even do concerts he just had other people wear his mask and do them.  so he wasn't opposed to fucking with people.

thanks, this whole album (Cold Case Files: Murder Investigation) is pretty good

Can't tell if this is jazz or hip hop tbh. But basically the same vein I think

^I think it's not in the same vein, this is much less nasty

It's more refined for sure. It's just difficult for me to categorize which genre Glasper fits into, because it seems like he always straddles between the two.

I'm listening to Genius/GZA's Liquid Swords for the first time ever. I listened to a fair amount of hip-hop in the 90s but also ignored a lot of it. Pretty sure I've listened to Wu-Tang Clan's 36 Chambers once or twice but can't remember when (probably not front to back until the 2000s). I guess it never really did much for me, and so I never bothered with the individual members' albums either. Decided to play it this morning as I was shuffling a Spotify playlist I made of hip-hop albums I like and need to check out, and the track "Duel of the Iron Mic" sounded good and made me realize this must have been a big influence on MF DOOM, who I really like. So, doing my homework.
