Thoughts On Black Hippy, Individually and as a group?

[yeah i rap so don't]

They had a feature on NPR radio yesterday. Shocked the hell outta me.

Jay Rock is cool when he's not on that Blood tip. Kendrick has an early Lupe Fiasco aura about himself. Top 10 potential.

Never seen Jay Rock really push that while doing interviews, you wouldn't know that.

was Jay Rock suppose to be the fore front? he's been out longer than the rest of these guys...

Seems like a decent group... Like just one of those groups with no lead man, they just do dope shit collectively

and as individuals... we just gotta wait and see what happens

The first artist when Dude Dawg decided to form TDE and he had a major record deal right away. Black Hippy did not become an official group until Q got there years later.

So Q was the last one there? For some reason I thought soul was the last lol

Why would you think that? Soul and Kendrick helped Schoolboy when he came in. Ab went to high school with Dude Dawg's son, just like I did. I actually went to middle school with Dude Dawg's son and his baby mama was close friends with Alori Joh (RIP), they actually grew up together.That did not put him on though, him knowing Sounwave got him in the door. He was the guy at Street Beat and was affiliated with Top Dawg. I remember when he told me he left Street Beat and was going to be in Top Dawg.They were pushing Jay Rock heavy at the time and K Dot was getting attention too. They had another rapper named BO, so Ab was the 4th guy. BO either left or got kicked out the camp (not sure, never asked) and Ab became a more prominent member. This was around No Sleep Til NYC. You listen to it , there is Jay Rock and K Dot. It was their mixtape and Ab-Soul,BO, and Punch had features. After that dropped BO was no longer around and was with Lil Scrappy actually.Schoolboy Q came around after all of that bro.

When this came out, I thought it was the end for BO.

i think schoolboy is wack and didn't really like his tape i fuck with the rest of them tho

I agree Q is wack to me. Liked Jay Rock before I even heard of Kendrick. I mess with Kendrick but he and his album are currently being overrated IMO. Overall, I feel that the best they can do is "bring the west back" really don't see them having a long run on the mainstream level as a whole and I question will Kendrick be a platinum selling artist 5 years from now. I doubt it to be honest, seriously doubt it.

I Like Em...Kendrick,Ab, And Q..Jay Rock Had A Couple Songs I Liked But The Other 3 Are Awesome

Kendrick is just gonna get bigger. What other artist really made it big recently making the SAME EXACT music he made before his debut and had an album that was critically acclaimed by the masses? I don't think soul will ever blow but he will always be around due to his affiliation with kendrick and because he makes dope ass music, same goes for Q. Jay Rock's albums(not him as an artist) wack to me so I won't mention him. Worst case scenario for all the other TDE niggas is they sell around 100k and still make hella money off touring. Kendrick doesn't have to go plat, shit who the fuck goes plat anymore anyways?

 

[R.D.]

Q>>>>>>>>>> rest of them niggas

With that said, dope ass group

GKMC is nothing like Section 80 which he got critical acclaim for.
