The Pit Hip-Hop thread

so mixtapes AND free albums? that's going to be a tough list i guess. Chance has two top 15 tapes in the last 16 years? I like Chance but whoa a bit of recency bias here?

surprised innanetape isn't on here.

Pitchfork writers haven't been listening to rap for that long.
 
Jay Elect tweeted he's dropping Act 2 on Tidal within the next forty days.
 
From /r/hiphopheads: "He'll probably drop the album on Eid (the Islamic holiday signifying the end of Ramadan) which is in a few days given that he talked about Allah and threw out a #RamadanMubarak in his tweets."
 
One of the ScHoolboy songs I did like. Cultural voyeurism porn, right here:

 


damn this is hot

"First Nations electronic pow wow DJ trio A Tribe Called Red have unveiled
“R.E.D.,” their collaboration with Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), MC
Narcy and Black Bear, a drum group from the Manawan Atikamekw Nation in
Quebec. “R.E.D.” is a scalding song, a bleak beat stacked with synths, shouts
and a flurry of percussion. It’s from A Tribe Called Red’s forthcoming album
‘We Are The Halluci Nation,’ out September 16."
 
Posted this on the music thread, but I love this. Reminds me of the NYC rap stuff growing up.

Chance collaborator noname's mixtape just dropped and it's going to be big
