TDE really spent money on this Isaiah Rashad guy?

[malc]

that cilvia demo is literally his first project.. i see the potential in him.

that shot you down track is fire though

 

[up in here]

i've noticed that all of the songs i like from this nikka are because of the production cuz this nikka really dont be sayin anything too substantial or amazing in his bars

and before some nikka comes in here talmbout some "bu-bu-but you dont like him because you one of those production over everything nikkas, listen to his lyrics "

they're are a good bit of nikkas who i can listen to straight acappella or over a less than amazing beat because their lyrics are interesting and technique-wise are next level, he's not one of those nikkas imo so he needs that extra push production wise to make a dope track

that cilvia tape makes for good background music or when im drivin, basically situations where im not really listenin to lyrics like that and just vibin to the atmosphere

I agree that lyrically he ain't the strongest, but flow wise I think he's pretty dope. He knows how to ride a beat and his hooks are pretty good.

Had the best hip hop debut tape I'd heard since A$AP Rocky dropped Live.Love in '11. I still play Cilvia Demo weekly. He has good beat selection and the vibe of his music is chill. 'Tranquility' and 'West Savannah' in particular were smooth as hell. I'm a fan.

 

[ThaRealness]

Hes actually pretty dope... idk what the fukk yall are talking about

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

ep was superb, top 5 hip hop related project easily this year

i can play it on end, and i've grown an appreciation for the lyrics over time. again the shyt pretty much hit me the first time and i knew i'd like it, it's clearly not for everyone


that millennials making music for millennials is pretty much my favorite kind of hip hop when its not forced, so im a big fan

 

[Ashtrey]

I only support TDE artists from Cali

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Revisit this thread in the future... Opinions will change.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

he dropped the only good project this year

 

[EA]

Isaiah Rashad is dope and his album was really good. Arguably the best produced TDE album not named Section.80/GKMC. I think it's obvious clear that TDE believe he can make the leap into the mainstream...more so over Ab-Soul.

However, it's quite clear he's not a battle/punchline rapper so I won't be surprised if his freestyles are underwhelming.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

His tape was dope.

 

[Da King]

He's like a poor man's krit combined with a poor man's Kendrick...but without the qualities that make each actually enjoyable to listen to, with whatever it is that makes j cole so fukking boring in their place

So accurate :2wow:

 

[KeysT]

EP was dope as hell. I can play it from front to back...cant say that about actual ALBUMS dudes put out.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

tde 'movement' is such struggle.

 

[SoulController]

hes iight, Cilvia's beats are the real standout. hes cool but says alot without saying much

 

[JuvenileHell]

Cilvia was dope, fukk you talking bout Napoleon
