Okay, so I got into Kendrick through Section 80, and I'm just trying to check the rest. I'm a big Alchemist fan, and I liked that 47 Bars joint Ab-Soul put out this weekend with Alc, and Ab's verse on Freddie Gibbs/Madlib's Lakers is really dope to me also.

I like the Schoolboy Q joints that Alc produced also (My Homie, Break the Bank, Demolition Man) and I can tell he did the OG version of Hoover Street. I listened to Habits & Contradictions pretty quick, but just kinda skimmed it.

I haven't checked a lot of Jay Rock. I saw them all live and it was a good show.

What's the go to album for everyone? I guess with Jay Rock Follow me Home is the only one?

My bad. I should've explained. I've never heard it. I know that Q and Al were saying that the sample didn't clear and the sampled parts had to get replayed. I just meant that when listening to the song, I can tell that it was something that Alc did at first.

Alc kinda did a Just Blaze move by teasing people about it and then never followed through.

I think you'll like Control System the most check that one out. If you really like it, Ab-Soul also has Longterm Mentality 2 and These Days. His other stuff is pretty weak.

For Q check out Setbacks, it's different than H&C and Oxymoron

Jay Rock has his album. He also has a few mixtapes on Datpiff. I couldn't get into them though cause the production didn't age that well. Him and Kendrick dropped a mixtape called No Sleep Til NYC haven't listened to it.

I don't know if you'll be into Isaiah Rashad but he put out one of my favorite projects from TDE

Control System is definitely my favorite......

that run in 2011-12 when they dropped S.80, H&C and CS was amazing...couldn't believe one crew could drop so many dope projects

I really liked Follow Me Home I'd check that out (I don't know a whole lot about his mixtapes)

Setbacks by Q might be my favorite TDE project that and H&C are great I enjoyed them much more than Oxymoron

Not too big on Ab Soul anymore but I guess Control System has a few joints on it

And you said you got into Kendrick at Section .80 so I guess if you haven't heard Overly Dedicated check that out

Then Cilvia Demo was real nice

No Sleep to NY is a personal classic. Half the mixtape they spittin on NYC classics, second half it's Westcoast classics.




This ain't the whole mixtape either, hit datpiff and grab it. I promise you wont be disapointed
