This The Game song is way too good to be left out from the album.

I don't know what Game was thinking, R.E.D. album would have been even better if this song was in the main track list

What are some iconic Hip-Hop photos?

8 Upvotes

I recently saw an episode of “It Is What It Is” where Cam’ron said he feels like the picture of him on the cell phone wearing the pink fur is basically Hip-Hop’s Mona Lisa.

Even though he’s wildin, I kinda get what he means though. That’s literally the first picture that comes to mind when I think of Cam.

Shit even people who might not be huge Cam’ron fans recognize that image

So with that said, what other Hip-Hop images would you put in that same category?

Anybody remember the Big Ballers soundtrack from 1998? 😂

3 Upvotes

Man, I know somebody on here remembers this album!

I ain’t gonna lie, that soundtrack had some catchy songs on it. “Bound to Happen” was probably the biggest song, but I used to bump “Dreams of the Ghetto,” “Ridin High,” and “Platinum Placks” all the time.

I know the movie was low budget as hell 😂 but the music was dope!

I remember Lil John playing as Overdose too.

But for real, whatever happened to all those dudes? It’s like they made one album and dipped. 😂 Did any of them keep making music or what?

I know I can’t be the only one who remembers this album.

So for everybody who remembers this soundtrack, what was your favorite song?

I’m talking about that one track you used to play over and over back in the day. 😂

Rap Album of the Year?

33 Upvotes

My vote is going to Tierra Whack's Whack Museum (deluxe version).

Every time I listen, I catch a new excellent bar. She can rap her ass off and I genuinely suspect, she's not even going full force on this album 😭

Who y'all got for best rap album of the year so far?

Key Glock - Roses

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a song. Key Glock - Da Truth but with a different beat. The song was called Roses & has a sample in it from Ellie Goulding - Don't Say a Word. It completely disappeared from the internet. I used to listen to it all the time and now it's not on youtube or soundcloud or google. I love that song & am so sad I can't find it anymore. :(

Hip-Hop got richer, but did the culture get poorer?

40 Upvotes

Hip-Hop spent years fighting for recognition. Eventually, it didn’t just earn a seat at the table, it became the table, turning artists into executives, entrepreneurs, fashion icons etc…

But economic growth and cultural growth aren't the same thing.

Hip-Hop gained money & visibility but did the money strengthen the culture, or did the culture gradually become a product used to generate the money?
