So if anybody's holding out hope that Kendrick's untitled track from The Colbert Report will see release...don't hold your breath.
Terrace Martin has said that the song only exists there; Kendrick hasn't recorded it, and apparently has no intention to ever do so.

I don't know what feeling is greater: my disappointment that there won't be a studio version, or relief that I can finally download it without worrying a studio version would come out and I'm running out of space to store my music digitally.

"The Colbert Report" is a weird black hole for performances from rap projects that never come out, like that Nas' album that he wussed out and changed the title over, or the second Madlib-produced Black Star album

Also, he didn't wuss out, Def Jam would't let him release the album with that title. I don't remember the Black Star track though, do you have a link?

He could have just released the album on his own, and both his and Def Jam would have been the better for it. With retail chains closing left and right in 2008, Nas could have brought at least a million people to the internet. That's just one on the long list of Nas' poor career decisions. And while he performed Sly Fox, the crux of the interview was about the title change. There was a rumor the original album might have still resurfaced insependently, but it never materialized. Also, if you're in Gosh's Country, this should work - thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/ifegp7/talib-kweli---yasiin-bey--a-k-a--mos-def-

I just find the entire controversy ridiculous, its disgusting how hip-hop is still seen by the vast majority of people as less of an art than other music and is censored much more often than other artforms. Not saying Nas doesn't have a list of L's longer than Hov's Maybach, but his hands were tied on this one. On a tangent from the Black Star video, have you been to any of the DJ sets Kweli does? I always see him promoted for Brooklyn Bowl and various places downtown.

What happened was Brooklyn Assemblymen Hakeem Jeffries and Leroy Comrie, both part of the desperate New York politician trying to fake making a difference parade, wrote a letter to DiNapoli asking him to remove funding for Universal's Building. Jeffries and Comrie don't have that kind of power, and DiNapoli would have been tied up in first amendment litigation if he even tried to pull something like that. Remember, this is the same year when active politicians holding office in New York like Comrie were holding "public moratoriums" on the n-word to waste taxpayers' time and money - www.theguardian.com/world/2007/mar/01/usa.edpilkingtonIt's no different than when State Senator Malcolm Smith demanded Lil Wayne apologize for him comments about New York. Wayne never did and it didn't make a lick of difference. Ultimately, catering to Comrie was a gigantic pussy move on the part of both Nas and Def Jam and just a convenient excuse to back down from taking a stand and avoiding controversy. It's one of many Nas career disappointments.

Can't believe how low politicians go to attack artists.

De La Soul is in the process of making a new album. I haven't listened to "The Grind Date" in a while, but I dug it. Looking forward to the new music

I love this thread so far and I'd like to see it go on a good while, so no more political talk, OK? If any branch of government, state, fed or local is involved in a story and it's not a wrestling angle, we can't do it.

Posted this in the Bronson thread. Juan Deuce and Falside are two of the freshest hip-hop talents Rhode Island has produced in quite a while their 2011 EP 'The Mechanics' is one of this decade's flawless masterpieces. (language warnign and shit) That EP The Mechanics is now a free download and worth peeping - juandeuce.bandcamp.com/album/juan-deuce-falside-the-mechanics-ep

Personally, I think Earl is one of the biggest cornballs in the game (same goes for the rest of Odd Future with the exception of Frank Ocean) but I know some of ya'll f*** with him. I think you should give it a shot. Beginning to end, it's really strong. The only Odd Future production on it is Left Brain on AM Radio, which is cool because he's Odd Future's best producer, but the rest of the production was handled by Earl. It really stands apart as it's own beast. Also, have you listened to any Mike G? He and Earl are my favorite in the crew, and he's always been the non-shocking smooth contrast in the group. His Ali tape might be my favorite thing in the Odd Future catalog. I only listened to the first half of the new Earl, but it was fantastic. Magic knows Black Lives Matter don't sleep on it because of his previous stuff, this one is much more refined and mature without losing too much of the edge that makes OF who they are. For what it's worth, I didn't just blow you guys off, lol. As soon as I get done listening to Mr. Wonderful, I'll give Earl's new stuff a chance.

Alright, I'm listening to "I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside." I'm like 5 tracks deep right now.
...I'm sorry guys, I'm just not feeling it. Something about Earl just doesn't click for me. He's a great lyricist, no doubt, but his flow doesn't do a thing for me. I feel...bored listening to him. I understand that's his style but I don't care how good of a lyricist you are, if you can't keep me interested, I'm not f***ing with you. The production's doing him no favors either. Dark, slow, and plodding. Which, again, I understand it's his style but it's not for me. Where's the soul? Where's the flavor?
The only track I've liked so far is Off Top.
