KUBE 93.3 FM is back in Seattle. KUBE started playing rap in 1992, and introduced me to Dr. Dre. It became a top 40 station, but is playing non stop hip hop this week as it transitions back.

Posted: 04 May 2018 10:13 PM PDT

I live in Victoria, Canada and it picks it up pretty well here. Pre-internet, KUBE was crucial to my new music selections. From Snoop, to Seattle's own Sir-Mix-a-lot.... he even hosted the old school lunch.

Life gets real when you remember all the songs from the old school lunch from when they were new.

Any PNW heads tune in when your in you're old ass car like me.

hiphopheads Essential Album of the Week #101: E.S.G. - Sailin' Da South

Posted: 03 May 2018 03:43 PM PDT

Welcome to the new and improved Essential Album of the Week discussion thread!

Every Wednesday we will discuss an album from our Essential Albums list

Last Time: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony - E.1999 Eternal

This Week: E.S.G. - Sailin' Da South

Stream/Purchase

Spotify

iTunes

Google Play

Background/Description (courtesy of some random dude on Amazon because I couldn't find anything else)

Houston's E.S.G.came thru with a 1995 album, Sailin' Da South, one of those few albums you can listen to through without skipping, a feat hard for many of my other favorites, even other classics, where I skip a song or two. First, ESG hits you with sick and serious flows throughout; he gets your tears jerkin on "Crooked Streets" and "R.I.P." where he reminisces on homies that didn't make it. He also gets upbeat on tracks like "Let 'Em Know," "G-Ride." Beatwise, the beats are among some of the best 3rd coast, and hip-hop period. Producers Sean "Solo" Jemison and Jermaine "Mr.Optimo" Chretien lace up melodic G-Funk beats that'll get ya head noddin for a short but sweet 50 minutes. Beats like "187 Skillz" and "Beauty and the Beast" are hard and menacing. But for the most part, the beats are musically beautiful, combining west coast whiny synths with laid back, sunny, slower, and at times, twangy, Texas beats. Listen to the beats on "Baller Of The Year," "R.I.P.," "For All The G's," among most others to see what I'm sayin'. Don't forget the original and screwed versions of "Swangin and Bangin," a perfect southern anthem over a gorgeous, melodic southern beat. This album slams all the way thru. E.S.G. shoulda got mad more dap for Sailin' Da South! Being primarily a West Coast rap fan, I dig this album more than a majority of those albums; that is how awesome this one is.

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.

Also my bad for delaying this so long, school has kicked my ass and I just had to deal with that first

Next week's EAOTW will be Tha Dogg Pound - Dogg Food

/r/hiphopheads and the redesign

Posted: 03 May 2018 03:55 PM PDT

As some of you may know, yesterday r/NFL disabled their CSS in protest of the rollout of the upcoming site wide Reddit redesign. Other subs, amongst them r/baseball, r/nba, r/soccer, r/hockey, r/CFB, r/CollegeBasketball, etc. have voiced their concerns over the redesign, and we, the mod team at r/hiphopheads, are making ours known as well.

There are many things about the upcoming redesign that make it difficult for us to moderate r/hiphopheads, but the chief issue is that it extremely limits the functionality of the sub—most notable with regards to CSS and flairs. If you don't know what CSS is, it's what makes this sub look nice. Everything, from the sidebar image of Gucci Mane, to your flairs, the custom flairs for artists etc. are all maintained and improved through CSS. Because flairs and custom flairs is probably the most important aspect of the CSS as it is set up now, this is what is going to happen to the flairs:

Flairs

Emojis will be replacing flairs and are currently locked in at 15 x 15 pixels, despite the recommended upload size being 128 x 128 pixels. On the legacy website, we use sizes around 30 x 30 for flair images which allows users to clearly see the artists or whatever it is that they're representing, but doesn't distract from the content. User flairs have been one of the most unique and fun things about /r/HHH since its inception, and losing them would suck, to put it simply.

Flair Customization

We're losing a lot of flair customization options for user flairs. On the legacy site we're able to customize the:

  • Image/text size
  • Background colors for image/text
  • Full border customization
  • Flair positioning/placement
  • Colored text
  • Animated images/text/backgrounds
  • The ability to show flair text on hover

On the redesign, customization is now restricted to the following changes:

  • Adding emojis
  • Changing color text to black or white
  • Choosing the background color for text

Other stuff

  • The redesign also makes it very hard to do things like the release calendar we had at the top of the sub for a long time, as the options within the redesign are very limited if rappers would stick to release dates and we decided to do the calendar again.
  • Even though it is a redesign, many issues are still not fixed, like the limited sticky space
  • The situation surrounding automod is vague enough as it is already (we don't have the code that posts the daily discussion for example) and we have no idea how this will go with the redesign, as Reddit is trying to incorporate certain automod features into the redesign, which might disrupt the current automod setup.

These are just some of the issues that we have with the new redesign. There are more, and the redesign/admin teams haven't been able to communicate when, if it all, we're going to get these functionalities in the new Reddit, and the full rollout day is fast approaching (we've been given a window of August-September). Even though r/hiphopheads isn't the most CSS and feature heavy sub, we stand in solidarity with the sport subs and others that depend a lot on the way they have their systems set up now. We on r/hiphopheads have been trying to revamp the flairs for a while now, but the new restrictive system that the redesign offers is not the way we wanted that to go.

Mods from all kinds of subs have been working on the new alpha since it rolled out to mod teams on the beta version, and it's incredibly likely that the redesign will roll out without these new options, forcing us to have to wait until these changes are rolled out to us (and you) one by one whenever they get around to adding them in. And with all the changes left to come, you can imagine how bad the sub will look/function to previous subscribers that have grown accustomed to the legacy site. We're not opposed to a redesign, but we're opposed to one that removes what makes our sub so unique.

While we won't be disabling the CSS, we're making our voices be heard, and if you want to as well, head over to r/redesign and feel free to voice your concerns. Thank you all for helping make this community great, and we hope that we can continue to provide you with the user experience you deserve.
