Posted: 19 Feb 2017 01:49 PM PST

Album of the year so far and without a doubt Roc's best work. Only a few beats need getting used to like Thread Count for me off Reloaded but damn is this project cohesive and pimpish.

The original version of Never Let Me Down by Kanye West

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 07:39 PM PST

Does anyone know where I can find the original version of this song? The difference was in the beginning Kanye says something like "Yeah grandmama. Told you I wasn't gonna let you down. Told you I wouldn't let this rap game change me." And there is a slight variation in the beat towards the beginning.

That's my favorite version of that track and I can't find it anywhere. It used to be on Youtube a few years ago but now it's not there. Help me!

Best Beats 2.0, Week 30 - Havoc

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 03:33 PM PST

The 41st side's very own Havoc is this week's best Beats!

Background: Havoc is from the New York City housing project Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City, Queens; his mother is from Brooklyn, NY. Havoc is the lead producer of Mobb Deep he has produced songs for MCs such as Eminem, Nas, Foxy Brown, Onyx, The Notorious B.I.G., Jadakiss, Styles P, Method Man, Game, Diddy, LL Cool J, La The Darkman, Rohff, Big Noyd, Termanology, Per Vers, O.G.C., Tragedy Khadafi, Capone-N-Noreaga, and his own partner Prodigy on his solo work. In the spring of 2005, Mobb Deep was signed to fellow Queens rapper 50 Cent's record label G-Unit Records. In late 2009 50 Cent dropped the duo from the label.

Havoc is renowned among serious hip-hop fans as one of the prominent figures during the mid-1990s for his hard-hitting and stripped-down beats complementary to the RZA's work on Wu-Tang Clan projects. Following The Infamous, he tweaked his skills and transitioned to a more atmospheric production style that incorporated samples from classical music, most notably visible on the 1996 album Hell on Earth. As an MC, he is known for his hardcore lyricism and consistent flow. He also contributed background vocals and a verse on Black Moon's debut album Enta da Stage in 1993.

In July 2009, Havoc was featured alongside Raekwon in J Dilla's music video for "24K Rap" off of the Jay Stay Paid album, the video was directed by Derek Pike. In 2010, Havoc produced a beat for Eminem which resulted in a song called "Untitled" which is a hidden track on Eminem's album Recovery and contributed to the iTunes bonus track to Raekwon's album Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang & Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel EP. He revealed that he plans on recording a new Mobb album with Nas. His third studio album 13 was released on May 7, 2013.

Havoc worked with Kavinsky on his 2013 album OutRun. He wrote the lyrics and sang the vocals for, "Suburbia", the 6th track on the album. In 2016, Havoc produced "Real Friends" and "Famous", two tracks on Kanye West's album The Life of Pablo.

So you want to discuss the Drake interview?

Posted: 18 Feb 2017 05:31 PM PST

He doesn't like Kanye anymore since people took issue with that, I'll just say he was annoyed with Kanye's rants and basically there will be no collab project at this point

He is pissed at the Grammys and feels he's being pidgeholed as a black artist and rapper

He is pissed One Dance wasn't nominated

He considered taking all rap off Views

He basically said rap doesn't make him happy

He LOVES Giggs ( has four tracks with him, one for More Life, one for Giggs' project)

He is pissed people are calling him a wave rider

Addressed claims that he stole xxxtention's Look At Me flow, thinks it's ridiculous

On The Throne Pop Style issue: said he won't have anything held over his head, he can rap as well as anyone.

He gave a very thorough rundown of the Meek beef and his thinking throughout

Discusses why he was so attracted to the U.K music scene

Discusses his So Far Gone mixtape days

Discusses claims that he isn't responsible for wiring his own music. Says he is one of the best writers out, period. And anyone that thinks music isn't collaborative is naive.

edit: here's an actual transcript(this is partial, actually.)

here's the full interview audio

Young Thug Songs similar to "With That"?

Posted: 18 Feb 2017 09:11 PM PST

Just heard this song a few days ago while Youtube was autoplaying Migos songs. At first I only watched it because the effects were pretty damn hilarious, but after about the 3rd time I found myself humming the song, and now I have it on repeat. Looking for similar Thugger songs, only other thing I've heard from him was his verse from "About the Money" by T.I.

EDIT - Found one - Hercules , still looking for more, I'm a fiend right now.

Posted: 18 Feb 2017 03:59 PM PST

It's been awhile since I've actively hunted down some new tunes. Last batch of hiphop I've listen to was Logic, early Kid Ink, and Childish Gambino.

I just gave Lupe Fiasco's new album DROGAS Light a listen and ended up nabbing his discography to revisit his music for the first time since I was a kid.

What have I missed out on, and what can you guys recommend me? New or old, I just want new tunes. :)

Big Sean: I Decided Story Part 1

Posted: 17 Feb 2017 09:28 AM PST

Big Sean: I Decided Story I don't know if this has been said before, I didn't even choose to look up if it has. However, as I was listening, I picked up on a few things that I heard during the album in which I think has a whole kool story and meaning behind it

"Intro". In the intro, it's basically a visualization of Big Sean, as an old man, working inside of a factory for 45 years having been that person like everyone else (i mean that very lightly) in Detroit that hasn't really stepped outside of the boundary and made an impact in their life...He wants to impact the lives of the next generation positively. Old Big Sean then realizes and resents the fact that he wasted A LOT of precious time which could've been spent with family, friends and his girl. But what I see it as is Big Sean kind of had like a premonition that if he doesn't do something, he might end up living in regret.

"Light". In this song, he has an epiphany of sorts "Spent my whole tryna find the light that was at the end of the tunnel, i shoulda realized it was inside" . He tells that he has spent his entire life trying to overcome the odds and prove the racial preconception, that people in his city won't amount to shit, wrong. In a city where no one really makes it out because they're held down from a higher power, relating this to slavery in his ancestors oppression. He also tells that he is even held down by his complexion ("Where if they know you're brown, they might hold you down and even hose you down, man"). Sean at this point has already made it and did prove the preconception wrong. ("Got the whole city on fire...I took the hand that they gave me and played the Donald Trump Card" and tells that no matter what, you can make it and don't let no one fuck with your shine. ("slave master take our names, 5-0 take the shot and young souls take the blame, man they can't fuck with the light...no matter how much they gon shade you...they can't fuck with the light") ("Don't let them take away your soul, no no, don't let them take what makes you whole")

"Bounce Back". This is like an anthem for people who take L's to bounce back basically. For Sean he is successful and realizes he has just overcome the odds which makes him feel so confident and proud in himself. He further explains that not much people get to experience what he does but if you're really committed to it...you might just ("Seen court rooms and court sides, a'int too many seen both sides") ("When you stay that committed to it, you just fall down and never fall off so"). Im not 100% sure what he meant by "fall down" but it could mean that you can get knocked down and everything may seem hopeless, but truly, it isn't and you can still BOUNCE BACK.

"No Favors". So I guess in this track, we go back. Back to where Sean is about to chase his dreams. At this point I think Sean had his epiphany when he spoke to god ("Ive been talkin to god like that's my therapist"). And now we go foward to Successful Sean where he's telling that he still wants to make a change. Especially change the lives of the people who live in his city (Detroit), all the way to Flint. Basically, this song is like "Light", but he just adds that he will do it all... and did it all...with NO FAVORS

"Jump Out The Window". Pretty sad song i might say. In this song, Sean has become a witness to an abusive relationship between his really close friend and her boyfriend. ("You cried on my phone the whole night that time he crossed the line") He begins talks her down telling her ("ya momma didn't raise you to take no disrespect"). He also tries to tell her that she deserves more and should love yourself ("I feel like real queens know how to keep the game in check, yeah") ("The question isn't "do he love ya?" the question is, "do ya love yourself"") ("you give the best advice to your friends and not take it for yourself") ("Sometimes I wonder if you even know how much you worth I gotta know"). He then reminisces about how they Mario Kart and they should've been together instead. Also, from what I assume is that, this friend he is talking about is his next door neighbor. Because he says "I think I'm ready to jump out the window". Almost like he watching it through his window like a little creep. I could also back this up with the fact that in the music video for "Halfway Off The Balcony", you can see the girl he is talking about standing in doorway and then proceeds to go inside. OK, so now in the second verse he says she sleep deprivation. With that and the fact that she has no self love and she disapproved with Sean going to beat his ass up, ("I went to straighten his ass out and you told me never mind"), I can only assume that she is suffering from depression. And at the end of the song he just wants her to be with him ("I think we should be get together sometimes on the low low low")

That's part 1 so far, what do you think?
