Hip Hop in general has been in a downward slide for the last decade, in my opinion.
Every once in a while, a couple of albums come out that give me hope.
Here is a review of some of those albums:
B.o.B - The Adventures of Bobby Ray
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/TheAdventuresofBobbyRay.jpg)
Very melodic hip hop. Lots of live instrumentation and a rock influence. Rivers Cuomo from Weezer even makes an appearance. He even heavily samples and interpolates Vampire Weekend's "The Kids Don't Stand A Chance".
The sample provided below features the chick from Paramore, and there's a remix on the album that also features Eminem. Not sure why he didn't make that version the single.

Travie McCoy - Lazarus
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/98/Lazarus-Travie-McCoy.jpg)
Perhaps even more melodic and rock influenced than B.o.B, also including a song sampling an Indie hit, "Alright" by Supergrass. This is the solo album from the lead singer (or more accurately, rapper) from the pop-punk-rap band Gym Class heroes, but hey, I'm counting it as a rap album.

Drake - Thank Me Later
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/ThankMeLater.jpg)
There are very few "club bangers" on this album, and the ones that are there are obviously built-in singles.
The majority of these tracks are entrancing, slow and dream-like. Really different stuff.
Again, this is a single, so it's not really representative of the album, but here's a sample.

Shad's new album, TSOL, is very, very good.
Check it out.

Interesting, I will check it out when I get home. If I like that, which I think I may, I'll download his discography.
Wonder if the name of the album is named after the punk band, which stands for (True Sons of Liberty)?

Not sure what the genesis of the name was.
Also, I don't know how far back you're going for hip hop, but here are a few from the last 5 years or so that give hope:
Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust
Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having
P.O.S. - Audition

If you had included P.O.S. in your highlighted gheyness, you could drop the racial qualifier, cracka.

Point of order: Atmosphere is the name for two people working in concert: Sean Daley/Slug (MC) and ANT (DJ/producer).
Check out P.O.S.'s song "Brokedown Concept". You have to love a song that starts out:
First of all, fuck Bush
That's all, that's the end of it...

And Aesop Rock. I have None Shall Pass. Good album.

I just downloaded and gave it a listen-to.
I liked it a lot. He dropped all the cartoony bullshit he's been on for too long.
A line from "Talkin 2 Myself" says it best.
This time around is different, the last two albums didn’t count: Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing them out/I’ve come to make it up to you now, no more fucking around/I’ve got something to prove to fans, ’cause I feel like I let 'em down.
Expect to hear the song with Lil Wayne that samples What Is Love (the Night at the Roxbury Song) in a club near you very soon.

Pre-Fergie they were pretty good underground hip hop, in the same vein as Jurassic 5 or Pharcyde.
They are now the definition of pop music.

J. Cole appears promising.

Big Boi's new album, Sir Lucious Left Foot...Son of Chico Dusty, is good. Very good.
I always expect big things from Andre and Big Boi, but this is even better than I'd hoped.
Even has a Yelawolf cameo....unexpected to say the least.
For the curious, check youtube for Yela's "Box Chevy 3".

I can vouch for this.
I downloaded it as well. In the past Andre was always my favorite, and I felt he pulled Big Boi's weight a bit.
Now, Andre 3000 is so far out there, they're like comparing apples to oranges. Andre isn't even really a rapper anymore.
I guess Big Boi has picked up the slack out of necessity.

I, too, preferred Andre for a long time. Then Speakerboxx/The Love Below gave me a dose of each on his own. Big Boi has been my favorite ever since.

Gadsden, AL, represent!!!
Also, he has a cameo from a band out of Marietta he apparently signed to his label, Vonnegutt.

Technically not Hip Hop, but I thought I'd post the new Cee Lo song.

He just released a new album. Not as good as his old ones but still good stuff.

Back to Yelawolf, he is pretty damn amazing.
However, I just saw this video.
Notice the part about "waking up in Crimson Tide Alabama Sweatpants", and popping the "punk" in the Auburn hoodie.

For a trip down memory lane, create a "Big Boi" channel on Pandora (I assume Outkast would work as well).
The last few artists: Craig Mack, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, Nas, Mobb Deep, B.I.G., UGK
Awesome.

Diddy Dirty Money's Last Train to Paris is a pretty solid album.
I think it's the most interesting project Puffy Puff Daddy P. Diddy Diddy Sean Combs has on his resume. Very futuristic and atypical beats, yet still pretty poppy. I guess more along the lines of Drake or some of Kanye West's more recent stuff. Has a little bit of a Euro House Trip-Hop feel.
Pretty different stuff from the "Uh Huh. Yeah" guy from the 90's.

Yelawolf recently released his debut album, Radioactive.
(http://therapup.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/yelawolf-radioactive-cover.jpg)
It is damn good. You have to get past the multiple Crimson Tide references. Dude is full bammer. But he is an amazing talent.
He did it right. His mixtapes that have been out to this point have an underground feel and highlight his rap skills. His album, however, is more focused on the songs themselves. They are structured well. I could hear many of these becoming pop radio hits. Not necessarily a bad thing. Think B.O.B. Then other songs on the album are distinctly unique.
Trying to pick out highlights is difficult, because they're all so good. Also it seems like, rather than getting tired of his style as the album wears on, each song seems to be better and better than the previous one.
If I have to pick highlights, check out "Radio" (an ode to 90's music), "Slumerican Shitizen", "Everything I Love The Most", "Write Your Name", and "Throw It Up".

Fuck that. Fuck that ten ways to Sunday.
Have you lost your mind? There is no "talent" "amazing" enough to overcome that kind of shit. I don't care if Snoop, Eminem, Dre and Tupac all made a baby together it wouldn't have enough talent to overcome ONE reference to that shit, much less multiple.

I happened to catch a new HBO documentary called Angry Boys. It follows juvenile delinquents in Australia, and is in general pretty fucking odd.
Anyhow, the two brothers that the documentary mostly follows have an obsession with this American rapper who goes by the name of S.mouse. Never heard of the guy before.
They interviewed him pretty extensively in one of the episodes, and showed several of his songs. And holy shit is this bad.

You got trolled by HBO.
I caught a PBS bit last weekend about this Australian comedian and his new show "Angry Boys". I forgot the guy's name, but he plays the twin brothers, their grandmother and the fake rapper.

Thank God. Because I was afraid that S.mouse was serious.
Well played, HBO. I thought the characters were a bit over the top (and that the grandmother looked a bit mannish, as well as S.mouse looking oddly not black), but in general it was convincing. I just thought they were all fucking crazy Australians.

On the subject of British Rappers, ever heard of Dizzee Rascal?
His debut, Boy In Da Corner, debuted about 10 years ago, but it's pretty good.
He's had 3 albums since, but they're not quite as interesting sounding. Pretty different shit, especially when it was released.

One of the best videos I have ever seen...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-mAMH5S6VA#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-mAMH5S6VA#ws)
I was just re-watching this and realized that I skipped the end of the video in my previous viewings. When he walks into the apartment and asks his buddy what he's watching on tv, the guy says "Pharcyde" and Shad says, "Never heard of 'em". Cracked me up...since his whole video was an homage to the video playing on the tv.
Also, check out the "Yaa, I Get It" video by Shad. Fucking bananas. This guy is a phenomenal rapper and does it without resorting to the standard rap music crutches: guns, drugs, hos, etc. Shit, the guy doesn't even curse. I've been on his bandwagon a while, and he still impresses me.

I'm super conflicted, because I like the guy and can otherwise overlook his bammer-ness. Buuuuut...in the "Let's Roll" video, I'm pretty sure I saw him shooting skeet (the non-sexual kind) with Harvey Updyke.

I like the guy. I'm not really into his type of music, but he's from my hometown and shot most of that video in Etowah County. Glad to see someone local making a name for himself. A lot of people from my area are in that video, and I don't know for certain, but I think "let's roll" is the video where he has every family member in the video. Could be an uncle instead of Harvey.

Me and a friend of mine were in a conversation about some hip hop we use to spin. The lyrical concept from Shad reminds me a lot of one rapper in particular.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiQoVv0FSKQ
Along with Goodie Mod and Outkast, the Gza from Wu-tang was one of my favs. These guys were rapping poetry not some stupid bullshit people call rap today.

His first hit "I Love College" made me initially avoid him, but I do like Asher Roth after hearing his other stuff:

New Shad is out: Melancholy and the Infinite Shadness
Typically great rhymes over familiar songs:
1) Milli Vanilli (Girl You Know It's True!)
2) Cannonball (the Breeders)
3) It Ain't Over (Lenny Kravitz)
4) old Prince (The Tiny Purple Genius)
5) new Don (PM Dawn)

Just got recommended Stophouse. I have no idea who these guys are, but they're pretty fucking good. Kind of indie/grimy. They must have some connections: Yelawolf is a guest on "Rocketman" and fucking Slug is on "Kelly Kapowski."

"A Month From Now" is awesome.

The new Aesop Rock is pretty good. Not as catchy/full of hooks as None Shall Pass, but he's definitely learned to rein in the stream of consciousness that was the rule on his earlier stuff.
New album is Skelethon.

The poster child for this thread.
Fantastic album.
The puns, similes, and references display a wit not heard in at least a decade in hip hop. Not since the Marshall Mathers LP have I been so astonished that they were able to rhyme that many syllables that many times, and still say something interesting and witty. The beats are fantastic too. A subtle interpolation of "Falling Away From Me" by Korn is the backdrop for one song, while a sample of "Give it Away" by Red Hot Chilli Peppers fills another.
Listen. To. This. Album.

I'm warming up to this after a few more listens. It just doesn't have me craving certain songs like Left Foot did.
"Shoes for Running" has a catchy indie-pop hook.
"In the A" has solid guest spots (TI and Luda).
"Thom Pettie" has Big Boi's strongest verse on the album.
"Momma Told Me" has a nice hook courtesy of Kelly Rowland.
Just doesn't have any instant bangers like the last one.
-
This became an instant favorite...nice...
Agreed. Good beat and fun, smart rhymes.
Went and listened to a few more songs. He's about 50% fun, goofy tunes and 50% somber, "message" songs.
"And We Danced" is practically a Lonely Island B-side.

Surprised to see that Wale has not been mentioned yet. Some of his stuff is very mainstream and not very original, especially the stuff featuring Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, etc.
But he's definitely got some good stuff out there:

"Nimmanaggarickatackarinnarunnafunnafinnasunnaminnamothafuckarunnatundanickanackamickamacka"
Which is one reason why I've always had respect for rappers like Twista, Krayzie Bone, Tech N9ne, and to some degree Busta Rhymes. Being able to rap really fast takes some degree of talent, but enunciating to the point that it's understandable is more impressive to me.
-
I had no problems understanding.
This whole album is by far his best since The Eminem Show.
Highlights:
Rhyme or Reason - Rick Ruben samples Time of the Season and does so well.
Asshole - Good melody. Lyrically strong.
Stronger Than I Was - The ballad. Not even a rap song. Genre defying.
The Monster - New single. A pretty candid admission of his own mental illness.
So Far... - Samples Life's Been Good. Again, Ruben.
Love Game - Ruben samples Game of Love. Kendrick Lamar kills, but still doesn't upstage Em.
Headlights - Featuring Nate Ruess of Fun. Fun. is one of my favorite bands of the last couple of years. This is a dream team jam. An apology and ode to his mother. Considering the well documented history, it's pretty touching.

I'll listen to some indie type artists on Pandora....Bon Iver, Vance Joy, Monsters and Men, even Mumford and Sons. There are a few decent bands left - Foo Fighters, Goo Goo, RHCP, Five for Fighting and a few new decent ones like OneRepublic or Imagine Dragons but even those get poppy. For the most part, I stay with the classic rock/oldies theme. Even with the hip hop stuff, I go Tupac, Snoop, LL and the like. Only modern one I like really is T.I. Repping college park CP!
Country has hit its lowest state since the mid 90's when every "band" sounded the same with the same lame and twangy steel guitar cliche refrains in every song. Blackheart, Diamond Rio, Little Texas....stuff was crap. Even Garth. No coicidence that was when country became super main stream and Nashville became ghey. Country is awful right now. Instead of super poppy mainstream cliche shit like Garth, now its this Bro-Country ghetto wannabe country boy tough guy shit like Aldean, Bryant, Ga-Fla Line and the like.
Obsess about a dirt road youve never actually been on? Check
Obsess about where said road will lead - maybe to a river or a field or a pond? Check
Obsess about a jacked up truck? Check
Let the tailgate down? You betcha.
Obsess about a bonfire? Check
Get your drink on? Check
Speakers cranked up? Check
Girl lookin good in that dress and wanting to see her hop up in your truck? Check
There's your song. Just insert prefabbed white noise under neath all that garbage and its a number 1 hit. They are all the same.

That statement is so full of shit and out of touch, I can't even begin to try and explain it to you. The new age of country artists have brought such a fresh approach to writing and the term "original" doesn't do it justice. The stories they tell. Why just the other day, I heard one song about a guy who just got off work on a Friday. He stopped and put a six-pack on ice, then he went and picked up his girl, who was wearing a red sun dress. He told her to climb up in the cab of his pick up and slide on over next to him while he drove down some old dirt road past the county line and they wound up in a corn field down by the river, sitting on the tailgate drinking beer in the moonlight.
If you'd just give country another try, you'd find so many more original songs like another one I heard the other day. See, this guy gets off work and grabs some moonshine and some Dixie Cups. He picks up his girl, who is wearing a yellow sundress and after they've driven around some little ole country town most of the night, they wind up heading down some old dirt road just inside the county line and end up in a wheat field next to a pond and drink moonshine in the cab of his truck...underneath the moonlight.
You need to expand your horizons.

But in truth, country songs today do tell a story about how some folks live. But mostly about how many folks would love to be able to live. So it's feel good country as opposed to old desperation country. I like a lot of the old and some of the new. It's courtyard pop instead of city shit. There is a difference.
And truthfully, like my movies, I don't give a shit about art, just wanna feel good!

Drove my 19-year old nephew to Auburn last weekend for the OM game. He insisted on sharing his music with me for the entirety of the ride. My thoughts:
1) New country/bro-country is fucking horrible. Somebody Rhett is making what I can only describe as disco-country. Fucking horrendous.
2) New hip-hop has some talent (The Weekend, J Cole, Kendrick, etc), but the fucking producing is atrocious. Someone needs to let the current crop of producers know that it's acceptable to not turn the drum machine to 11 and bomb the track. I felt like I spent 3 hours in a strip club...except at the end I was sober and still had some money. Side note: has anyone told these kids that "trap" (as in "trap music" or "trap queen") is slang for a transvestite? They seem to be under some impression that it's a drug reference.
TL/DR: New popular music is pretty bad but, with the cyclical nature of music, I have to believe that the industry is about to be scorched by a game changer (see: punk, grunge, etc).
Also, germane to the thread topic, the new Big Boi/Phantograms project, Big Grams, is fucking gooooooood. Get you some.
-
Shut your whorish mouth. Thomas Rhett is country music royalty!

Not saying I can sit and listen to today's country music for very long. But, they do know how to entertain on a live show. CMA's on now. This will certainly be on the U-Tubes. Chris Stapleton (Axe AU1...he just saw him live) and Justin Timberlake tore the damn place down. Mega talented performers and Stapleton has some frickin' pipes on him. Brad Paisley just did his song they use on ESPN College game day, I believe. Had two bleachers behind him with college mascots jamming. Aubie front and center representing.

And if he wants any decent air play or contract ($$), he will sell out like they all do, to some producer from California. These guys control the airwaves and the money. You do what they say. Kudos to guys like Hank the 3rd and Isbell who like to remain true to their music and somewhat independent. If they get Eric Church to go the route of cliche Nash-mopolitan sound, they can get anyone. Ive seen several acts that came along that had potential only to be ruined by mainstream and the promise of more money.

I hope that he doesn't sell out. He is already rich, I think he has written #1's for Josh Turner, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, and Darius Rucker. I know when he was the front man for the Steel Drivers he wrote a song that Adele has covered and included it on an album. I don't think you will ever see Isbell or Simpson sell out. They have both said they just want to keep doing what they are doing and they don't care anything about saving country music.

Mac Miller dead at 26. Some of you may be very familiar with his work. My knowledge of the guy was a couple of appearances on Ridiculousness. Love that show. He seemed cool, funny...great guest on the show. I just saw where he died today at 26. I decided to pull up some of his stuff. I'm 58. I don't know good rap, hippity hop from shit. I just know what sounds/feels good to me. A few of his tracks were pretty damn good. But one thing I noticed was all his youtubez had 10's of millions of views. "Donald Trump", some of the lyrics below, had almost 150 million. He must have done something right. Anyway, just thought I'd share.
Ay yo, the fliest muthafucka' in the room
Yeah, you know it's me
Bitches hating on him, cause he started out here locally
Hopefully, I'll be at the top soon
For now, I'm at my house on the couch, watching cartoons
You know how much you love it when you get it in abundance
Give a fuck about a budget
When you always be the subject of discussion
But it's nothing when you stop and just say fuck it
Cause you walking out in public and you hear 'em talkin' rubbish
I just wanna ride, ride through the city in a Cutlass
Find a big butt bitch, somewhere get my nuts kissed
That's the way it goes when you party just like I do
Bitches on my dick that used to brush me off in high school
Take over the world when I'm on my Donald Trump shit
Look at all this money, ain't that some shit
Take over the world when I'm on my Donald Trump shit
Look at all this money, ain't that some shit.

Saw Atmosphere at Vinyl Music Hall in P'cola tonight. Got-DAMN what a show.
Nods to the newer material (Sean made a few jokes about the label getting pissed off if the crowd posted video of him doing old songs rather than the new stuff...he owns the label) but they went DEEEEEEEP into the old stuff. Off the top of my head, we got:
God's Bathroom Floor
Reflections
Guns n' Cigarettes
Fuck You Lucy
Always Coming Back Home to You
Modern Man's Hustle
God Loves Ugly
Lovelife
Middle-Aged stuff:
Say Hey There
The Best Day
Puppets
Yesterday
The Waitress
Sunshine
Newer Stuff:
Kanye West
Camera Thief
Drown
Graffiti
It was a really great performance in a very small venue. The pleasant surprise of the evening was the opener, Dem Atlas. Strong raps over Ant (of Atmosphere) beats combined with a bit of soulful wailing and more than a little emphatic yelling. He kind of looks and croons like Terrence Trent D'arby, but raps like a beast. HIGHLY recommended.
