See now that’s weird lol

 

I was always under the impression the Tribe record was a double album too, but now that this conversation is happening I’m not sure where that came from

 

Anyone see the keiyaA livestream last night? Missed out unfortunately but I was glad to snag a record this morning

 

wikipedia lists it as 'side a' and 'side b'

 

Yeah so that’s a different thing then. “He’s The DJ, I’m The Rapper” was the first Rap double album because it came on two records, i.e. four sides.

 

new Young Dolph/Key Glock tape out

 

I dont get why isnt speakerboxx/the love below considered double

 

It’s dumb hard as expected pun intended

 

it is though? pretty sure

 

It's two solo albums from two solo artists

But it's also an Outkast double album

 

Because it’s two solo albums marketed as one double album because they wanted to actually sell records or because they had to fulfill a contract or something. Hence ”faux double album”.

 

This is giving me childhood flashbacks

 

10 years ago today. What a record

 

A real classic for the kids who would skip class to hack darts across the street

 

Alright finally gonna get into Your Old Droog. Gonna start with Packs then should I go to It Wasnt Even Close or Transportation?

 

I’d say just go in order. They’re all solid

 

Yeah, go in order. You really notice his progression and growth.

 

anyone listen to the new Kota the Friend yet?

 

A Brief History of Rappers Sampling Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles"

Fun fact: Vanessa Carlton was once signed to Murder Inc.

 

the album she released with them is actually pretty great

 

I had no idea she released an album via them. As a former Murder Inc. stan I'm stunned that anyone besides Ashanti, Ja and Lloyd ever managed to release an album. It must have been very close to the end of the label? Anyway my comment wasn't mean to come after her or them, I just always found it an odd combination. I can't even imagine how it happened.

EDIT: Holy shit, Christina Milian's first album was on Murder Inc. too. Anyway, it appears that Vanessa and Christina are the only ones that managed to put out albums, aside from the ones mentioned above (not counting compilations).

 

I've honestly never been interested in Wiz Khalifa. I don't even think he's bad, he's just the most "there" rapper I can think of. Like he's a pretty decent rapper and I don't mind when he's on features or I hear one of his songs but there is absolutely nothing remarkable about him to me at all
