[DISCUSSION] The lack of music being released by members of the A$AP Mob will eventually cause it's downfall.

Posted: 08 Dec 2016 12:25 PM PST

So, as an A$AP Rocky stan, I've seen the rise in popularity of his crew the A$AP MOB. Members like Rocky himself and Ferg have put out decent releases like Ferg's Trap Lord, Rocky's LONG.LIVE.A$AP, Ferg's Ferg Forever, and the most recent Mob compliation The Cozy Tapes: VOL 1 - FREINDS. Now, despite all of the support of the releases we've seen, there is something to point out. Members such as Nast and Twelvy, depsite releasing songs, have yet to even release their debut mixtapes. Now, this has got me to thinking that the longer they get to releasing their solo debuts, the more Rocky and Ferg get the center of attention. I recall in an interview back in 2011/2012, that Twelvy said something along the lines of "popularity of the other members won't get between us." But exactly how long do you think it will take before it does? Now granted, Yams did die nearly two years ago, causing a bump in the road for them, and Ferg did announce a project called Still Striving, but a rift has to happen eventually. I've imagined something along the lines of Twelvy, Nast or Ant stating on Twitter that their fed up with how much little popularity they have, thus causing hostility between memebers and the Mob's eventual break-up. What do you guys think?

Background/Description (courtesy of allmusic.com)

Perhaps no other album of the '90s musically exhibits the shift in the hip-hop ethos that occurred in 1993 better than Black Moon's classic gemstone Enta da Stage. Listen to this album and you can hear hip-hop change. Prior to this, many of hip-hop's most confrontational vibes were presented as gifts from bellicose outfits like Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and other acts whose music raged. Enta da Stage features enough of that, but it also offered, perhaps even introduced, a brooding vibe. It was a pioneer sound. The group released "Who Got the Props" in the winter of 1992, about a year before the album dropped in November of 1993. It was a song in the same vein of Onyx's "Throw Ya Gunz," a hard track, with rough rhymes and a staple-NYC hook with a chorus of rowdy b-boys shouting in unison. The album featured similar tracks, from "Make Munne" to "Son Get Wrec" to "Buck Em Down" to the opener, "Powaful Impak!" -- all time-capsule tunes that embody early-'90s NYC hip-hop. The album begins like it was meant to be a Brooklyn version of Bacdafucup. But months prior to the album's release, Black Moon's second single, "How Many MC's...," hit the streets. It was a total departure from the vibe present on "Who Got da Props." DJ Evil Dee and da Beatminerz supplied a subtly horrific track over which Buckshot premiered a more deliberate flow that bespoke controlled menace. There is a story behind this transformation. Buckshot said he, Evil Dee, and the 5Ft Accelerator recorded half of the album -- the "Who Got da Props" half -- in 1992 before he went on tour with Kool G Rap and a young Nasty Nas. During a freestyle cipher, listening to Nas and Kool G Rap led Buckshot to an epiphany that motivated him to switch up his rhyme-style, and da Beatminerz tweaked their production to complement. The "How Many MC's..." half of the album -- songs like "I Gotcha Opin," "Slave," "Shit Iz Real" -- displayed Buckshot's new motif: a raspier tone, a more intricate flow and cadence, and a serious presence that was just as threatening as the temperamental MC on the earlier songs. The rowdy crew hooks gave way to what were more like stripped down musical breaks that often featured a jazz horn sample and nothing else. The production -- which should enter into any discussion of the greatest hip-hop production efforts of all time -- was every bit as radical as what the RZA introduced this same year or the Bomb Squad cooked up in the late '80s. The elements existed before, but never had they been synthesized into a hardcore East Coast outfit with the skill and artistry of Black Moon's Enta da Stage. The release of this album was overshadowed by the landmark Wu-Tang Clan debut and the popular success of Midnight Marauders and Doggystyle. But make no mistake, this is one of the '90s most important hip-hop classics, an album that deserves its own node on the hip-hop timeline.

Guidelines

This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is your chance to practice being a critic. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!!

How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE !!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged.

Next week's EAOTW will be Enter the Wu Tang: (36 Chambers)

The plot of J. Cole's "4 Your Eyez Only" is out on iTunes

Posted: 07 Dec 2016 04:00 PM PST

EDIT: iTunes took down the description. Maybe something was wrong with it?

http://i.imgur.com/nfKTp4L.png

4 Your Eyez Only plunges deep into J. Cole's soul. You can clearly hear it in his voice—pleading, testifying, on the verge of cracking. At center stage with no featured guests, the North Carolina rapper speaks out on social ills, black lives, the responsibility of fatherhood, and doing the right thing in a world of wrong. The music is settled, filled with jazz touches and strings, allowing the words to become the focus. "Neighbors" and "Change" examine imbalances and tension affecting communities of color. "Foldin Clothes" shows that even benign acts can be a source of joy. The two-part suite "She's Mine" may be the most important songs he's written, as Cole hovers over his daughter and finds himself overcome by a strange feeling: hope.

J. Cole is apparently have a daughter which makes sense since Cole's wife was went to a birthing center today

@realcoleworld, his wife, both their mamas and a few ppl from his entourage are at Rex hospital in Raleigh NC at the birthing center
