Favorite hip-hop album from 2008?

Geeno · 09-03-2009, 09:07 AM

This is a tough one, I don't remember everything that dropped. I am still playing Rick Ross - Trilla and Lil' Wayne - Carter III

Thoughts?

I'd rather step on both of those albums than call them my favorite

my thoughts on rick ross are that he's a fake. he stole one of my buddies beats.
that song 'Shittin' on 'Em' or whatever, he jacked my buddy Seif's beat.

^part 1 is more explanation.. part 2 he goes through the beat he made on Acid 3.0.. haha

i never agree with 50cent, not a fan at all, but i couldn't help but feel a little gushy when he made fun of rick ross, saying that he's just like Andre from CB4, hahahaha

my favourite hip hop record of '08:

^ two artists cutting a sample in the exact same fashion ain't really stealing.

herbinator45 · 09-03-2009, 06:19 PM

nah, but they don't give any credit, they don't just use the same sample-- they use the beats and a lot of the background stuff he did.. and like you said-- it's the EXACT same. soo whack.. fuck rick ross.

blacsoap's coming up to Hamilton and Toronto around the end of september, so if you're in the are be sure to check them out.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 09-04-2009, 03:37 AM

im pretty sure my mans was talking about them the other day.

have you ever heard of abstract artform?

herbinator45 · 09-04-2009, 12:04 PM

nah, haven't heard of them. do they work with seif?
I met seif and fly beads at an industry party back in like '04 or '05. was hanging out with seif most of the night. dude is chill as fuck. we've been sending beats and shit back and forth ever since.

they hardly come north of like georgia, hahah.. but sportsnet has been using one of their tracks for CFL promos. when he told me about it, i was like 'WHAT THE FUCK??!" hahaha

al-Mu'akhkhir · 09-04-2009, 12:15 PM

No he dont work with seif, but I would say that abstract artform is probably one of the biggest heads in canada right now, he's got tracks with dudes from digable planets and J5, as well as Sadat X (hes rapped with a dude who rapped with BIG L!!!!!!) and D-Sisive (you might recognize that name, he's from T-Town, really talented dude).

might not be the best album of 08, but its definitely my favorite.
what the fuck is this lil wayne bullshit, Geeno? I had faith in you!

herbinator45 · 09-04-2009, 01:53 PM

rick ross is just as if not more whack than little wang.

slapstick · 09-04-2009, 04:26 PM

no doubt. they're both whack, IMO. but this isn't the thread for that.

Geeno · 09-05-2009, 01:44 PM

Go fuck yourself, I heard a lot of the albums people are posting from 08 and I never played them twice.

However its almost 10 and I've gone back to trilla and carter more than a few times.

Snowmayne · 09-05-2009, 06:14 PM

if you are willing to listen to officer ricky that much you might as well go download some drake, your music taste is hella off geeno. what happened?

al-Mu'akhkhir · 09-06-2009, 02:53 AM

drake is from my hood.

that nigga went a threw down a 7k watch against a 20 dollar bet on a dice game.

lost too. tied three times, and then lost. it's on youtube.

Geeno · 09-06-2009, 02:58 AM

I listen to everything but I personally rate things on a what vibes it gives off scale

most of the time my favorite shit is stuff I can play for a wide variety of people and get a good reaction out of, even a reaction at all. That's why SV is one of my favorite groups, I've gotten mad people on to it.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 09-06-2009, 03:22 AM

^ you determine what artists are your favourite by how many of your friends like them?

am i misunderstanding you?
