Video of the year

 

Happy Birthday Big L. One of the greatest to ever do it.

 

Such a shame he was killed so young. Amazing skills.

Btw, does this type of stuff get discussed a lot here? I LOVE 80's, 90's early 2k hip hop but am not really up on new stuff.

 

there was a heavyweights reference and a moonlight reference so I dig it

 

Song is dope, Kevin Abstract has been getting buzz for a few years now

EDIT:
They're also getting a VICELAND show

 

need to check out that Kevin abstract album soon

 

Occasionally, but I'm always ready haha

 

Anyone ever seen T.I. live before?

I bought $5 tickets a while back through a promo the venue was running and kinda forgot about it. Now the show is this weekend. Was never huge into T.I. outside of his hits, so I'm debating if I should go or give the tickets away.

 

Nice. Might be a good idea to start a Classic Hip Hop thread? That way all the new stuff can be still followed here, but for people who want to talk about older releases would have an outlet. Just a thought.

 

I haven't but I imagine he's good

 

I think it exists but has no activity. Maybe I'm wrong though. I've proposed starting a hip hop classics book club and some have shown interest so maybe that could be an option.

 

Never seen him live but I can imagine that show would be lit

 

Yeah, as I'm going back through and looking at his wiki, he had a lot of hits... and was featured on a lot of other people's hits. Might be a fun time.

 

T.I. is top 20 for sure

 

Awful stream quality but cool song

 

Have you listened to the new Delinquent Habits album yet? I have it on my phone waiting for me but haven't gotten around to it yet?

 

Call me entitled or whatever, but like, if you want to have something available for streaming, that's great. But cutting off any access to downloading is fucking whack as hell. I guess I'm not sure how SoundCloud works but would it kill them to include a d/l link in the player?

 

No I wasn't aware until I saw that tweet but I will soon

 

uh because then itd be free? soundcloud is used for one off track streams (streams arent monetized btw), SOMETIMES free download but rarely

 

Yeah I mean I guess my gripe is just that it's frustrating when music is put up for stream only w/o even a paid download option. I guess after the Adult Swim window has ended the artist/label has more of a choice to do that if they like?

 

Nav is so bad.
