RHH: whats your opinion on these "underground" albums?
I have only listened to 3 of the 4 you listed so I'll just do the ones I have heard.. Bleubird - Cannonball: Very experimental hip-hop album that I actually enjoyed. Very solid in all aspects Qwel & Meaty Ogre - Freezer Burner: Pretty good album, his rhyme techniques are just crazy sick. His first few albums were much better but this is still a good album Dark Time Sunshine - Vessel: One of the more underrated hip-hop albums I have heard in the past 10 years. All around really good. A lot of guest appearances on the album, which usually makes an album feel a little over the top but it all fits in so perfectly
RHH: Drake Is Already A Legend...?
I wasn't actually dissing Drake in that question and do enjoy his new album, but: 1. The "this dude is hot in the club" argument is retarded. 2. Why does all rap have to be umbrellaed under Drake or Kool G Rap? 3. Just because you enjoy someone's music - especially while getting trashed at a club doesn't mean they're good. (A lot of people, me included, enjoy OG Genesis, Shmurda, etc in the right places, doesn't mean they're good artists) 4. Just because you release a nice album or two doesn't mean you're a legend. Now, I've never really been a big Drake fan, his switching from stereotypical rapper hard man to emotional softy from track to track has always grated with me, but I thought he put it together pretty well on his newest album, and now that his hard man persona is only on tracks that are more party oriented I doesn't feel like he's trying to be taken as seriously - which is a good thing. These days I like almost every track with Drake that I hear, and I actually think he's improved a lot since his first album, but without one classic or borderline classic in his discography, which I don't think he's achieved yet, I don't think he'll reach legend status.
RHH: Whats your opinion oh HOPSIN?
I like the rapper, hate his hooks. BQ: Sure BQ2: I think he's gonna stay relatively unknown, so no. - Oh yeah, I heard that. Maybe he will. - The mainstream side isn't doing too well, but underground is still thriving. There are a lot of good albums that came out recently. - Sure: Kendrick Lamar: Section.80 O.Verly Dedicated Jay Electronica: What the phuck is a Jay Electronica? Eyedea: First Born The Many faces of Olivar Hart Sage Francis: Personal Journals A Healthy Distrust Aesop Rock: Labor Days El-P: Fantastic Damage lllogic: Celestial Clockwork Qwel: Typical Cats - Well, he has a record deal now, but he didn't when he made the Kendrick Lamar EP and O.Verly Dedicated, I believe. - K i edited. Hope you enjoy these.
