Billboard Hot 100 Discussion - April 25 2017 - HUMBLE. #1, ALL DAMN. SONGS IN TOP 63

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 05:27 AM PDT

From the Billboard Hot 100 (April 14 - 20)

All 14 songs from DAMN. have debuted in the top #63, knocking down every other song significantly. The last column reflects the real change of the song ranks, if DAMN. was not released.

Songs with a 'P' are non hip-hop songs that might be interesting. Songs with a '/' are pop songs with a hip-hop feature.

New Logic single dropping Friday

TDE has added some new Kendrick Lamar merch for DAMN

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 01:42 PM PDT

I listened to every artist going to Rolling Loud Music Festival 2017! A BREAKDOWN.

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 03:25 PM PDT

Yo mandatory first time poster, long time lurker!

I am heading to Miami in a week to attend my first ever Hip Hop Festival and I decided to write a breakdown on the Line-up. I have been to festivals before and I attend as many Hip Hop shows as I can (Isaiah Rashad [5/5], Ab Soul [2/5], Vince Staples[5/5] this year so far) but this is different. I love Hip Hop in nearly all forms and have always wanted to attend Rock the Bells, Scribble/Summer Jam or similar but the timing has never worked. I decided that to do the experience justice, I was going to dig through the list of artists and acquaint myself with each and every one. I present for your reading pleasure, a guide to all the artists attending Rolling Loud Music Festival in 2017. You can see the line up here

TLDR: A breakdown of every artist going to Rolling Loud Music Festival 2017

 


 

Kendrick Lamar AKA K. Dot, King Kendrick, Cornrow Kenny, Kung Fu Kenny! Born June 17, 1987, Kenny hails from the city of Compton and is the TDE golden goose. Nearly untouchable since the West Coast handed a teary eyed K.Dot the torch in 2011. His skill at balancing lyricism and storytelling with passion and an ever evolving sound has him in some big boots for a 5" giant. Where to Start: Good Kid, m.A.A.d City (Album, 2012), To Pimp A Butterfly (Album, 2015) Damn (Album, 2017) Highlights: Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe, Alright, HiiiPower, The Art of Peer Pressure, Sing about me i'm, dying of thirst, ADHD, DNA, ELEMENT, FEEL Lesser known Cuts: The Heart Pt 1, County Building Blues, Black Friday, Cartoons & Cereal Look Out For: Kendrick X J-Cole Album (Rumored) Black Hippy Album (Rumoured) Second-half of Damn (It aint happening)

 

Future AKA The Future, Future Hendrix, Meathead Made up of half Atlanta and half codeine Future is what you get when you mix a little Andre 3000 with a lot of DJ Screw. Melodic and hard hitting at the same time Future picked up auto-tune from T-Pain's estate sale and rode on the its ok to rap and sing wave that Drake was pushing. Themes range from trapping and smashing models to honest moments of drug addiction and depression. Although his career had hits early on its been a long road to success for Future and he deserves every bit of it! Where to Start: DS2 (Album, 2015), Monster (Mixtape, 2014), What a Time to Be Alive (Mixtape, 2015) Highlights: Low Life, The Percocet & Stripper Joint, Mask Off, Diamonds Dancing, Fuck Up Some Commas Trivia: Future wrote the hook for Ludacris classic Blueberry Yum Yum. Look Out For: He just dropped a double album on Valentines day. Patience.

 

Lil Wayne AKA Weezy F. baby, Mr Carter, Tommy Gun Tunechi, Lil Birdman Junior Snatched up from Hollygrove, New Orleans at the tender age of 9 by a predatory Half Bird Half Man, nobody could have predicted the artist that Weezy was going to become. As king of mixtapes in his prime, prolific describes him best. Weezy had a studio with him at all times and he never seems to stop dropping bars. I personally take issue with his quality control, but 2005-2007 was the era of weekly fire from this multiple seizure survivor. If you are interested definitely delve in to his mixtapes to listen to him rap over every beat imaginable. This pace was ultimately what I think was his downfall, along with a wicked addiction. Where to Start: Tha Carter I, Tha Carter II, Tha Carter III, Da Drought 3, Highlights: I Feel Like Dying, Dedication, Live from the 504, A Milli, 6 Foot 7 Foot, Drop the World, Under appreciated: La La La, 10,000 Bars, Ransom Feat. Drake, Im Me Look Out For: Wayne not turning up to his show.

 

A$AP Rocky AKA Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye, Pretty Motherfucker Texas Trill meets Diplomats is the best way to describe Rocky. He is outgoing, charming and his melodic rap style mixes perfectly with the A$AP Mob style created by A$AP Yams (RIP). Often toted as the brains behind A$AP Mob, A$AP Yams definitely had huge influence on Flackos style both in rap and life. A$AP Mob came first but it likely wouldn't have got in the club without A$AP Rocky. Where to Start: Live. Love. A$AP (Mixtape, 2011), Long. Live. A$AP (Album, 2013) At. Long. Last. A$AP (Album, 2015) Highlights: Goldie, Pesos , Multiply, Fashion Killa, Canal St Look Out For: The Cozy Tapes Vol. 2

 

Travis Scott AKA Travi$ Scott Rapper & Producer Travis Scott is originally from Houston but came to his own in LA after dropping out of college. He is pretty polarizing both as a person (see thread history) and as an artist. His musical inspiration is sometimes a bit too close to a mainline transfusion, but if you are a fan of Kanye, (old) Kid Cudi X Trap/Drill sound then Travis probably has something for you. Fuck the haters, it's a dope mix and he kills it live. Where to Start: Days Before Rodeo (Mixtape, 2014), Rodeo (Album, 2015), Birds in the Trap Sing Mcknight (Album, 2016) Highlights: 3500, Antidote, Maria I'm Drunk, Goosebumps, Drugs You Should Try It, Skyfall Lesser known Cuts: Entire Cruis'n USA: Travis & Jason AKA OG Chess (Mixtape, 2011) Look Out For: Astroworld (2017 release promised)

 

Young Thug AKA Yung Thug, Jeffery Born 1991 Young Thug is weird, street and amazing all in one. It took me a while to warm to him and I would encourage you to put the time in if you are not immediately a Bootygoon. Fader said of Jeffery in 2013 "In a typical Young Thug verse, he slurs, shouts, whines and sings, feverishly contorting his voice into a series of odd timbres like a beautifully played but broken wind instrument". Accurate except they should add that it BANGS. Where to Start: Barter 6 (Mixtape, 2015), Slime Season 3 (Mixtape, 2016), Jeffery (Mixtape, 2016), 1017 Thug (Mixtape, 2013), Slime Season (Mixtape, 2015) Highlights: Check, With That, With Them, Memo, Best Friend, Old English , Harambe, Kanye West Trivia: Young Thug regularly wears women's clothing yet is fucked with by most of the staunchest rappers in 2017, how far we have come. Look Out For: Rich Gang 2 with Birdman out soon.

 

Mac Miller AKA EZ Mac, Larry Fisherman, Larry Lovestein, Larry Dollaz, Delusional Thomas A young and charismatic Mac started releasing music in high school and quickly got success as a Frat(ish) Rapper. Instead of embracing this he evolved and his music turned into something more unique with deeper insight. You changed Mac! Thank fuck. Where to Start : Watching Movies with the Sound Off (Album, 2013), The Divine Feminine (Album, 2016), Blue Slide Park (Album, 2011) Delusional Thomas (Mixtape, 2013), Faces (Mixtape, 2014) Highlights: Objects in the Mirror, I am Who Am (Killin Time), Weekend, Dang!, Red Dot Music, Senior Skip Day, One Last Thing, Nikes on my feet, REMember Best Verse: New Faces v2 (Verse 3) Look Out For: Ariana Grande producing a little Mac

 

Kevin Gates AKA Luca Brasi Gates music would be a dark, gritty and auto-tuned heap of depression if it were not for his skill at infusing a unique melodic style and the themes of hope and determination that drive him. He raps about the most negative shit in the most positive, near poppy way. He don't get tired! Where to Start: By Any Means (Album, 2014) Luca Brasi 2(Mixtape, 2014), Islah (Album, 2016) Highlights: 2 Phones , I Don't Get Tired, Out the Mud, 4.30 AM, Go Hard, Really Really Trivia: Gates doesn't shy away from controversy and is currently in jail for kicking a female fan at a concert (She may or may not have been trying to sexually assault him at the time.) He has also been linked to incest & bestiality. He don't get tired! Look Out For: Gates being released from jail before Rolling Loud (not looking good as he was denied bail on April 19th)

 

Run The Jewels AKA EL-P & Killer Mike, RTJ Killer Mike and El-P are RTJ and trust them when they tell you they are the new PB & J! The busy production is done by El-P who also raps and matches perfectly with southern OG Killer Mike who won a Grammy way back in 2001 for his feature on Outkast track "The Whole World". I was lucky enough to see RTJ when they were still playing sweaty basements and it was one of the best performances I have seen. Where to Start: Run the Jewels (Album, 2013), Run the Jewels 2 (Album, 2014), Run the Jewels 3 (Album, 2016) Highlights: Legend Has It, Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck), Blockbuster Night Pt. 1, Run the Jewels Lesser Known Cuts: Meow the Jewels (Remix Album, 2015) Individual Highlights: The Dance by Murs (El-P Production), $ VIC/ FTL (EL-P), Reagan (Killer Mike), Ric Flair (Killer Mike)

 

Post Malone AKA Austin Post A young buck out of Dallas who took up music after getting hooked on Guitar Hero, moved to LA, hooked up with the FKi crew, then dropped White Iverson out of nowhere and instantly charted. His style isn't that unique, but he does it well and is still developing as an artist. Watch this space. Where to Start: Stoney (Album, 2016) Highlights: White Iverson, Congratulations, Go Flex, Déjà vu, Lesser Known Cuts: Post Malone doing a Bob Dylan cover Look Out For: Beerbongs & Bentleys (album, due in June, 2017)

 

Lil Uzi Vert AKA LUV Riding the wave of the new Trap sound Lil Uzi (because he raps fast) is one of the biggest rappers to come out of the SoundCloud world recently. He is flagrant, open and melodic on the same song. At 22 he is young and in love and his music is only getting deeper. Nobody else gets you dabbing to songs about suicide! Where to Start: Luv is Rage (Mixtape, 2015), Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World (Mixtape, 2016) Highlights: Money Longer, P's and Q's, XO TOUR Llif3, You Was Right, 7AM Trivia: Lil Uzi Vert is a Pescaterian. We truly are in the new age of Trap! Look Out For: Luv is R6ge 2 (Mixtape, Due in 2017)

 

Migos AKA Quavo, Takeoff and Offset Migos grew up together in Georgia and are directly related, that dynamic translates in their music in the way they flow together seamlessly. Originally they got shine with "Versace" especially after Drake jumped on a remix. Their career has slowly gained pace with a few hitches (Label issues and 8 months in jail for Offset) but it wasn't until Donald Glover shouted them out in his Grammy speech that they have really been accepted into mainstream pop culture. Where to Start: Young Rich Niggas (Mixtape, 2013), Culture (Album, 2017), Rich Nigga Timeline (Mixtape, 2014) Highlights: Versace, Hannah Montana, Cocaina, Cross the Country, Bad and Boujee, T-Shirt, Get Right Witcha Trivia: Quavo got offered a spot to play football for various colleges but pursued music instead. Best Individual Verses: Quavo - Pickup the Phone by Travis Scott, Offset - Get Right Witcha, Takeoff - Cross the Country.

 

21 Savage AKA Shayaa Joseph Savage's music is cold, dark and steady, his flow is slow in comparison to what his peers are doing and he is unapologetic with his words. In more trouble than out of it, growing up in Atlanta he first got serious about music while recovering from a shooting. He landed on a lot of peoples radars after getting on the XXL Freshman class of 2016. Where to Start: Savage Mode (Album, 2016), The Slaughter Tape (Mixtape, 2015), Slaughter King (Mixtape, 2015) Highlights: X Feat. Future, No Heart, Skrrt Skrrt, Picky, No Advance, Red Opps, Dip Dip Look Out For : Issa Album coming "soon".

 

Kodak Black AKA Lil Black 19 year old rapper of Haitian descent straight out of Pompano Beach, Florida his rap style is loose and improvised near mumble rap mixed with some strong hooks. Kodak Black's first co-sign came from Drake for his song "Skrt" and he has steadily released music since then even though he has been in and out of jail for a range of charges from drugs to sexual battery. After watching an few interviews with him I am pretty sure he is on the spectrum, that may just be what sets him apart. Where to Start: Painting Pictures (Album, 2017), Institution (Mixtape, 2015) Highlights: Tunnel Vision, Skrt, No Flocking, Slayed, Conscience Look Out For : His burps! (No projects incoming)

 

Lil Yachty AKA Lil Boat Bubblegum Trap is a self description of Lil Boats auto tuned mumble style, but that doesn't really encompass the entirety. Ditching the dark side, Yachty keeps the catchiness of Traps repetitive origins but doesn't attempt to perfect his flow, instead purposely (hopefully) keeping his singing and rapping amateur and off-key. A young 19 out of Georgia, Yachty hustled himself up an internet following in NYC before turning to music and getting co-signs from amongst others, Kanye. There is definitely a style over substance argument to be had amongst those who are wary of his rise to fame, but that hasn't seemed to slow his roll. Where to Start: Lil Boat (Mixtape, 2016) Highlights: 1NIGHT (Extended), All Times, Minesota (Remix), We Got it, Mixtape - Chance the Rapper Look Out For : Teenage Emotions (Album, May 26)

 

Joey Bada$$ AKA JayOhVee Brooklyn native through and through, Joey Bada$$ is one of the few torch holders of the classic NYC rap style. Focused on flow, strong lyrical content and storytelling. He is a co-founder of Pro-Era and he has managed to keep the classic style while evolving his music into modern day. He can also hold his own in rap beef after destroying Troy Ave(rage) in multiple freestyles. Where to Start: All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ (Album, 2017), 1999 (Mixtape, 2012), B4.DA.$$ (Album, 2015), P.E.E.P. The APROcalypse (Pro Era Mixtape, 2012) Highlights: Curry Chicken, Survival Tactics, World Domination, Big Dusty, No. 99, Paper Trail$ , Land of the Free, Rockabye Baby Look Out For : He just released his last album so don't expect anything any time soon.

 

Action Bronson AKA Bam Bam, Mr Baklava, Bronsolino A chubby Albanian chef seems like an unlikely candidate to build a rap legacy, but Action Bronson is all that and more. Classic NYC style backed up with smooth flow, an unfiltered mind and plenty of wrestling references. Strangely, nobody gets you as hungry rapping like Action Bronson, painting delicious images with his words of meals most can only dream of crafting and he backs it all up with skill in the kitchen. Just don't mention Ghostface in his presence unless your looking to get body slammed. Where to Start: Rare Chandeliers (Mixtape, 2012) Blue Chips 2 (Mixtape, 2013) Mr. Wonderful (Album, 2014) Highlights: Actin Crazy, Baby Blue, Strictly 4 My Jeeps, The Stick Up, Alligator, 9-24-11 Look Out For : Blue Chips 7000 (Mixtape, Incoming 2017)

 

Flatbush Zombies AKA Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice and Erick Arc Elliot The Zombies are psychedelic rap group out of Flatbush, BK whose members have all been friends since grade school. Their rap style is hard to define but is wild, fast and furious and translates to a great live show. Strictly independent they are the Hip Hop version of a Punk act. Where to Start: D.R.U.G.S (Mixtape, 2012), BetterOffDEAD (Mixtape, 2013) 3001: A Laced Odyssey (Album, 2016) Highlights: Palm Trees , Death, Bath Salt - ASAP Mob, Thug Waffle, Club Soda, Nephillim, This is It, Regular and Complex Look Out For : Flatbush Zombies in your area on their Spring 2017 tour.

 

Curren$y AKA Spitta Curren$y is a rap lover's rapper and has been releasing music since the early 2000's making him one of the hardest working MC's in the game. His rap style is calm, collected and under control. Rapping about hustling, chill. Rapping about fucking, chill. Rapping about killing, chill. With over 40 projects his discography is straight up consistent. He is still dropping projects and put out a mixtape each month of 2016. Where to Start: Stoned on Ocean (Mixtape, 2016), This Ain't No Mixtape (Album, 2009), Pilot Talk II (Mixtape, 2010), Canal Street Confidential (Album, 2015) The Fo20 Massacre (Mixtape, 2017) Highlights: Breakfast, The Day, Damier Doobies, Address, This is the Life, The Type, Full Metal, Boulders Look Out For : Fetti - A mixtape with Freddie Gibbs, The Motion Picture Soudtrack - Album due

 

Aminé AKA Adam Aminé Daniel Aminé gained hype off his breakout single "Caroline" in 2016, it's positive pop style with a hint of neo-soul is catchy and kind of geeky at the same time. His previous projects are more traditionally Hip Hop flavored, but It will be interesting to see where this Portland born and raised rapper will take it next. Shout out PDX! Where to Start: Calling Brio (Mixtape, 2015), Odyssey To Me (Mixtape, 2014) Highlights: Caroline, Baba, RedMercedes, Darksiiiide, Rage / Peace, Buckwild Look Out For : His first mixtape/album with the backing of Republic Records

 

Denzel Curry AKA Aquarius'Killa, Raven Miyagi, The Ultimate Former Raider Klan affiliate who came out on top of his beef with SpaceGhostPurrp, Zel has a 90's style rapid fire delivery and graphic story telling craft that makes him unique. Curry has managed to stick to the independent route and just landed a major distribution deal so expect big things. Where to Start: Imperial (Album, 2016) Nostalgic 64 (Mixtape, 2013) Highlights: This life, Knotty Head, Zone 3, Ultimate, Threatz, Sick & Tired Look Out For : Taboo (Album, 2017)

 

 

Seshollowaterboyz AKA Bones, Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, Eddy Baker This on the spectrum named Internet Rap Collective was formed in 2014 and the name is a mix of each of the artists labels. With a large individual following this union is yet to release a collab project but that hasn't stopped them jumping on each others tracks. The moody Bones is super prolific and has a diverse style paired with lo-fi visuals. Xavier Wulf & Chris Travis were both members of Raider Klan and have stuck together and each created a very individual underground style. Eddy Baker has maybe the most accessible style of them all and his BADGUY series from 2014 is great. Where to Start: PaidProgramming2 - Bones (Mixtape, 2016), Art of Destruction - Chris Travis (Mixtape, 2016), Less than Zero - Eddy Baker (Mixtape, 2016) Project X - Xavier Wulf (Mixtape, 2015) Highlights: NonPasteurized - Bones, Iceland - Chris Travis, Thunder Man - Xavier Wulf, Crazy - Chris Travis, Rusty Pipes - Eddy Baker, Dirt - Bones (Recognise the hook?) Look Out For : A collab project under the Seshollowaterboyz banner?

 

Playboi Carti AKA Cash Carti, Sir Cartier, A$AP Carti? Signed to A$AP Rocky without even a mixtape out, Carti's sound is reminiscent of a less threatening Chief Keef in his prime with some added swag. Often the songs seem to be based around a seemingly never ending hook. Originally from Atlanta, but since established himself in the new-age NY scene with the help of Ian Connor, Carti has the style but one can struggle finding substance in his music. Where to Start: Playboi Carti (Mixtape, 2017) Highlights: Broke Boy, Lost, Woke up like this, Fetti, Speedy Gonzales, Run It, What, New Choppa, Yah Mean Look Out For : After the long wait for his last project don't expect anything soon.

 

Chief Keef AKA Sosa, Glory Boy The poster boy for Chiraq, Sosa brought Chicago's Drill scene to the worlds attention in 2012 with the help of Kanye West on the remix of "I Don't Like". Hated and loved at the same time he fulfilled a thirst for more authenticity in Hip Hop that many had been searching for. This authenticity ended up being to much for Interscope who dropped him in 2014. In the midst of legal issues and the deaths of people close to him in South Chicago, Sosa moved to Los Angeles to get a away from it all. He never really regained his previous hype despite Bang 3 being one of his best releases. Where to Start: Finally Rich (Album, 2012) Bang 3 (Album, 2015) Two Zero One Zeven (Mixtape, 2017) Highlights: I Don't Like, Love Sosa, Earned It, Know, New School Look Out For : No upcoming projects announced!

 

Rob $tone AKA Jaylen Robinson from 1207 22 year old $tone has a chilled out flow with a 90's rapper vibe. One of the few to come out of San Diego and gain mainstream hype he stole the spotlight in 2014 when he released "Chill Bill". After two quality mixtapes he has a deal with RCA Records and has toured with the likes of A$AP Ferg & Playboi Carti. Most recently he got kicked off the Designer tour for beefing with fellow opener, Ski Mask the Slump God. He also may or may not have got Ski Mask jumped on stage. Where to Start: Straight Bummin (Mixtape, 2015), I'm Almost Ready (Mixtape, 2016) Highlights: Chill Bill, Suspects, Nachos, Meetings Look Out For : A debut album.

 

Blackbear AKA Matthew Musto, Industry plant Cultivated since early age by music execs and gone through a series of music genres, Blackbear has emerged as a Rapper/Singer in his 20's. Similar style to G-Eazy with more focus on the singing he recently started a group with long term collaborator Mike Posner called Mansionz. Where to Start: Sex (Mixtape, 2012) Deadroses (Album, 2015) Mansionz -Mansionz (Album, 2017) Digital Druglord (Album, 2017) Highlights: 90210, STFU - Mansionz, idfc, Cars, Clothes, Calories, Rich White Girls - Mansionz, Do Re Mi, I miss the old u Look Out For : More Mansionz projects.

 

Robb Bank$ AKA Shaggys Son NY born, Florida raised Bank$ shot into the spotlight at 16 off the back of massive Tumblr hype and has been developing in front of his fans since then. With a smooth flow and a steady string of pop culture (Pokemon) references and surprisingly ruthless punchlines you can see why he has gained as much traction as he has. Recently signed to Cash Money so expect big moves or nothing at all! Where to Start: Year of the Savage (Album, 2015), Calendars (Mixtape, 2012) Tha City (2013) Highlights: 2Phoneshawty, Pressure, Practice, On Me, Refined Look Out For : TC2: Falconia (Album, due any day now.) GRIFFITH (Mixtape, Due April)

Just had a great idea

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 08:51 PM PDT

So I just had an idea for a really cool game. Producers will whip up a beat, and then select two artists to use it. These artists will then have one week to write their own song using that beat, and can add their own touches effects to the instrumental if need be. They will do so in complete seclusion of one another to ensure neither are being influenced b the other. At the end of the week, the two songs will be premiered and it would be up to a vote to decide which is better. Thoughts?
