RAP (CUBAN) LINXhttp://uproxx.com/smokingsection/ -culture, links, mp3s, occasionally hilarious comment sections.
http://www.cocaineblunts.com/blunts/ - mostly defunct, has an archive with lots of dead links but worth reading if you wanna dig deep.
http://tumblinerb.com/ -less defunct, same writer as cokeblunts, but filled with lots of hectoring, depressing shit, and young thug.
http://themartorialist.blogspot.com/ - lists of songs to play, tends to run a bit more obscure than the stuff I posted above in the spoiler
http://www.thefader.com/ - the website for a real good mag that covers a lot of up and comers as well as the more out there critical darlings.
http://pitchfork.com/ - do you like kanye? Because they do. A lot
Post some rap…now.

get this.
Yeah
Big Grams is cool as hell. Much better then their previous collabs IMHO
I think this is the clean version. Who even listens to clean version of rap albums
(my first rap CD i ever bought was a clean version of speakerboxxx/love below)
Any thoughts or people interested in this scene? I suspect I wouldn't be into it based off this extremely overwrought article, but it's The Pitch so that's to be expected.
Also, here's a pretty good interview about El-P about why this exists:

also all of drake's hotline bling outfits
go get it drizzy
Man J Cole is sick
Future was sick
Others were generally enjoyable like Big Sean and Vic Mensa and Earl Sweatshirt (tho tbh Earl was a bit too heavy for being a 2pm act and the mood I was in)
I didn't see Flatbush Zombies cuz they were on the other side of the festival from something else and we were tired
Vince Staples is great gonna go see him in December
I enjoy Drake (but I saw him at GovBall and it was p weak)
I saw Young Thug last month at summerstage he did aight. RL grime after was more enjoyable.
The six

My WOES
You're out of your mind. Started from the bottom is his best song by a mile!

I love his beat selection and when he's actually rapping and not spewing hiccups and belches and adlibs I dig his music. Anybody have insight into which tapes of his are the most "straightforward" for lack of a better term
