But for rn. Dude f---ing killed it. Every song had so much energy. He did 2014FHD full album live with a few older songs too. Crowd was hype af. Cole just killed it. He also spent like 10 minutes between songs sometimes and explained his songs and just had conversations with the crowd, made it very personal and just cool. J Cole is a super cool guy. f---ing killed the concert. Definitely my favorite concert ive been too.

DREAMVILLE!!!

idk if this is in the right section or if it already exists here but this was on another forum i used to visit.
If you didn't know, Last.fm is a site that gathers (or scrobbles) all your music plays through iTunes, Spotify and other music streamers. By using pages like tapmusic or Paddez, you can use the information from last.fm to make weekly or monthly collages of your most played albums (if you use tapmusic you have to add .jpg at the end of the url to upload it on here I think). You can sign up for last.fm here.

ty to @Soldier for creating it

Every week, you post your 3x3 collage in here, and maybe a 5x5 at the end of every month. I think it's an interesting way to see what other people listen to.

"If we’re gonna be honest, some of the dopest music is coming out of Atlanta right now, but all them n*ggas sound the same. Here [New York City] there’s not as much dope sh*t – well it is, but a lot of people don’t see it the way I see it. [New York rappers] don’t sound alike. Everybody got their own different thing going on.

Them Atlanta dudes – it’s a few dudes that’s doing their own thing that’s killing it. I’m not saying all Atlanta rappers sound the same, but for the most part, majority. They all kind of have similar cadences, flows and delivery. They even recycle the same lyrics from each other.

I gotta just say it. This ain’t dissing nobody, but I don’t understand how Future can make a song like “Sh*t.” Then this n*gga, I forget his name… You make “OG Bobby Johnson” and it’s like, “head shot, head shot, hit them with the…” It’s the same thing Future’s saying. And we allowed that.

Not taking nothing away from Que – I know his name – I just feel like, come on. I like the song. If you ask me if I like the song – yes, it’s a dope song… and this sounds like I’m downplaying this guy. I don’t even know him, so I don’t got nothing against him. I’m just telling the situation. I feel like it’s okay to be inspired, but you can’t bite off contemporary artists that’s in your same league."

Kendrick Lamar Found Out He Saved A Fan’s Life While Onstage, Then Made Her Wildest Dreams Come True ​

After his Sweetlife Fetsival set, he told us about the emotional moment​

COLUMBIA, Maryland — Your favorite artist’s music changes your life, and you get the chance to tell them that.

For most, it’s an imaginary scenario. But one fan had that unexpected opportunity during Kendrick Lamar’s set at the opening night of this year’s Sweetlife Festival on Saturday.

​

“I’m at the end of the show, and I see this young lady crying, and I’m thinking, She must be really going through something right now,” Kendrick explained to MTV News after the show. “Then I start hearing her murmur with her lips, ‘You saved my life.’ So I’m like, d---. This is serious. This is not for play, why she’s out here right now. She came to see the person that actually helped her get through a life, through music.”

“Then she said, ’I was gonna k--- myself last year.’ So I said, at that point, I gotta bring her up onstage and show her some love and let her know this is real.”​

He did just that, as security helped her make her way onto the stage, where she broke down as the two shared a touching embrace.

​

“When I was 15, I was diagnosed with severe depression, and Kendrick got me through it,” Claire, who’s now 16, told MTV News, bravely opening up about her personal struggles (Due to sensitive nature of the subject, we’re only using her first name for this story).

“And I couldn’t have done it without him. I listened to his music over and over and there were nights where I thought I was going to end it all, and I didn’t, and I think that’s because his words impacted me in a way that no other artist has ever done. I can’t thank him enough. I can’t thank the people behind him enough for making him come to the earbuds that I listen to. I feel inseparable from his music.”

She didn’t think she’d ever be able to actually thank him, though. Until Saturday.

“He saw me crying, he tried to touch me, he couldn’t reach, and then he just said to the security guard, ‘Bring her up.’ And I lost it.”​

Kendrick is typically soft-spoken and reserved in person, yet uses his music to open up with an unwavering honesty about his personal life, feelings and experiences. This has been the case for years, but he took his willingness to share self-reflection to a new level on To p---- A Butterfly’s “u,” where he emotively raps about his “suicidal weakness” and negative thoughts he had about himself. He later follows that up — and balances it out — with the self-love anthem, “i.”

Not many are willing to share stories of a bout with depression in such a public way, and when someone with Kendrick’s megaphone decides to, it has the powerful potential to directly help others. The evidence was apparent Saturday night.​

“I told him I was gonna k--- myself, and I think his music was the main reason that I didn’t,” Claire said. “Because I had myself — and my music.”

In that moment, the rapper became not Kendrick Lamar, 27-year-old music superstar, but Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, 27-year-old son, brother, friend and young adult trying to navigate life’s highs and lows just like the rest of us.

“[I wanted to] bring her backstage and let her tell her story,” he added — which is what he did after the show. “Let her know, it’s more than just me bringing you onstage — I actually feel you. Because that’s why I do my music.”

“And every time I see something like that, it reminds me why I do what I do. It was just crazy. She came back here, we signed some stuff for her, talked to her for a little bit, and told her to keep going.”​

​

Though he’s had fans approach him with similar messages in the past, the gravity and importance of what they tell him consistently hits home.

“It’s new every time to me,” he said. “When other people see it, they know how powerful it really is… that people actually wholeheartedly hold your music to a standard where they feel like they need it.”

For Claire, the chance meet and thank K. Dot for helping her through those times of need couldn’t have been scripted any better.

“He was exactly as I ever imagined meeting him ever would be, and I never thought I really would, but I guess miracles happen,” she said. “I think the main reason I wanted to meet him was to thank him. Because he should know his music has the power to impact a person’s entire existence. Someone should know that they’ve done something like that.”

Can't believe people actually try to hate on this man

I've had a little search around and can't find anything like this.

I have been a big fan of DJ Screw now for just over a year. As most of you will know C&S is a genre of music pioneered by DJ Screw and has had a huge influence on the Houston music scene and music in general. For those that don't know, it involves slowing music down, repeating parts (chopping), record scratching (screwing) and some other techniques like skipping beats and stop-time.

I used to think it was trash and a rip-off of original music, until one day something clicked and I have loved it ever since, I hope to get anyone into it as there is an abundance of amazing tracks and for me there's something sort of 'magical' about it.

He has a discography of at least 200 mix-tapes and for each one I listen to ill post some of my favourite tracks from it on here. Feel free to post any 'chopped and screwed' music on this thread.

To start here is one of my favourite tracks I have found so far:

The first minute of this song represents almost everything about the genre.
