Rap and Hip-Hop

Yo, anyone hyped for Rodeo?

I know that the idea of Game being relevant again is laughable, but this is dope. That Erykah Badu sample.

Very solid year so far. If Swish drops before the year is out, then there isn't a whole lot more I can ask for.

Bringing this thread back to life

So, Eminem's new Album, Kamikaze, dropped last week. It's been getting a lot of attention. What are your thoughts on it.

Much better.

So, for you Mac Miller fans, here's some sad news. Mac Miller has passed away at the age of 26 from a drug overdose. RIP.

I wasn't really familiar with his music, but as a spectator of pop culture who kept up with his career...the news of his passing really makes me sad. I was really rooting for him to get better.

There should really be some type of support group between celebrities. I mean, sure, celebrities and music artists are busy people but it's sad to see what addiction and mental illness does to these talented individuals. May he rest in peace.

Also, I'm not trying to make this about her but seriously...poor Ariana. This has been a really shitty couple of years for you, girl.

So, some more Eminem news. Eminem dropped a diss track against Machine Gun Kelly called Killshot. This was in response to Kelly's track Rap Devil.

Here's the track

Just listened to it, and I thought it was pretty dope.

So, Lil Wayne had finally put out Tha Carter V, the album that's been delayed for many years. I've never been much of a Lil wayne fan but it'll be interesting to see how people react to this album.

Here's an article for you.

Just Drogas Waves, really. I don't have the attention span required to listen to entire albums that often.

J. J. Abrams’ Bad Robot has acquired a Logic biopic.
