yes !

[blastmaster]

Oh, no release date yet.

[ackbar]

awesome

[ackbar]

this thread (and group) deserves a bump slash period of reflection/mourning
there's more gems in other threads (the early bay area & grime threads are some of the best shit posted on imo) but this is the only one i found on search

who else thinks jacka was the best rapper out for a few years in the mid-00s (IDAL? Rey? CQ? odium?)

devilz rejectz 1 & 2, the jack artist + mob trial 1 are all flawless classic albums IMO.

what's your favorite & what happened ?

[ackbar]

rob lowe, cozmo, joe millionaire, stinj-e, goblin, demolition men, etc.
a lot of underrated producers from that 00s era

[ackbar]

not even taking into consideration collaborations..

[Career Over Like Mike(NJJ)]

Jacka was definitely one of the best rappers between 2005 and 2008. He just ran out of steam, which every rapper does eventually, but had a pretty fantastic run, pioneered a whole sub-genre of rap, and still has the odd good song in him like Uh Huh. It'd be churlish to ask any more of him at this point.

Hus is finally dropping an album within the next 12 months apparently.

I can't find that old Husalah thread for shit but here's an analog:

http://www.philaflava.com/forum/viewtop ... =1&t=96804


There used to be a Rydah J. Kylde, "What's Really Thizzin?" post, as well.

Figz were probably my favorite supergroup, bar none.

[blastmaster]

Fed X's "Awful Dodger" is still my favorite mafioso guitar song ever.

I've already heard this last summer...

[david111]

I've heard songs from it

[Larry2times]

Might post up some favs later but yeah Jacka was incredible, for a few years he was my favourite dude rapping. My faith that Hus still has it in him is diminishing with every year of freedom, its like hes afraid to rap/release shit idgi. Ive heard hes got albums and albums worth at this point.

[Larry2times]

I've heard songs from it

Sound good?

[ackbar]

i have basically zero faith in a husalah album. the first song he released out of jail was as good as his post-prison music got.
aside from a few obvious exceptions (death to my enemies notably) it sounds like all of his guest appearances in the past few years have been freestyles made high on molly when he decided he could use some extra money for soccer jerseys

[ackbar]

some random rydah faves..

The new Grand Puba bone idle clotheshorse.

Plz, someone out there who keeps up to date with Paul Wall, tell me the infamous studio clip slumper has been out there on a tape hiding.

[david111]

I've heard the full Paul Wall song. Double CD coming this summer.

[Larry2times]

[ANU]

great song

jacka, ampichino & berner - fam first

http://vimeo.com/5569508

became a personal classic

[ackbar]

yea. best berner/ampichino song. as good as any of the best drought season songs
also maybe the best video any of them have done

[ackbar]

Fuck that, though, You Neva Know and Da Mob are great, as are his contributions Handsome, Hustle In The Rain and Loyal To The Mob.

And that self-titled mixtape from 2009 with all the exclusive/unreleased joints on it had a bunch of fantastic shit on there. Lord You Know and Mob Shit are both classic Hus'.

Husalah - Mob Shit

[ackbar]

yea. he's released a handful of classic songs after jail. he's released 25 or something tho

[ackbar]

da mob is by far the best hus song post jail IMO.
if anyone was wondering.. this is the first song out i was talking about



i also uploaded this classic pre-jail interview to youtube a few months back. good companion piece to mob trial 1



*EDIT* earlier in this thread

I don't know if this has been posted yet
Husalah's final interview before fed time.
Full of gems;
"Im still pretty as a girl!"
"My whole thing is, I'm the best dancer, I been the best dancer."
"Doin my new dances; The Willie Beamen, The Knockout Man, The Catepillar, The Vanna White, The Kiki Shephard."

[Larry2times]

Whoa I didnt realise some of those those were actual dances but it make sense now I think bout it fuck sake and I think Ive actually been doing them

[Larry2times]

Where does rapper hands end and the new dance sensation begin

[ackbar]

bruh i created at least 4 new gigs after that interview no joke. not even trial had that effect

only one stayed & it's still ill as you can get: the macaulay culkin. anyone on that face slap after 2008 is biting tbh
