Anyone just love his music? Or any other Black Hippy members? ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, or Ab-Soul? He really is the next best thing in hip hop. I mean he's been around for a while and I've been following him for about a year and a half and now that he's finally blowing up a little it's the coolest thing. Hopefully he doesn't succumb to the typical mainstream rap persona where he raps only about money and hoes. So far he's stayed true. His new album, good kid, m.A.A.d. city is set to be released on October second. Here's three tracks that are rumored to be on there:



And a few personal favorites:





J. Cole's flawless production:

Yeah. His message is better in s80 where as ckmc feels like he's almost reintroducing himself. However i like how he structured gkmc a lot

Ab-Soul is also great; lyrically, he's unmatched today. Control System was also one of the best albums of 2012.

I agree with this statement completely, I do enjoy listening to a lot of his stuff. But I cannot stand swimming pools, it's been played way too much around here (UK).

You're still wrong. It wasn't a diss verse, it was basically calling people out that even thought they're friends, they're his competition and he's not holding back so they need to step up.

Also, everyone is up in arms about that verse, but the true meat and best part of the song comes after that verse.

Yeah, I meant Kendrick's. I'm just saying I think the dopest part of his solo was right after he dropped all the names. Sounded awesome to me.
