Bro, I had to go on almost 45mins search online for the long Pro Era I was telling you about. Damn, I finally found it. It's Capital STEEZ - Blackkk Krown. Gaddamn, I haven't listen to this in at least a decade!!!

Yo.

You haven't heard of Wale and CyHi the Prynce. Wale is one of J. Cole's best friends in the industry. They're real close. It's my ultimate wish to see J. cole and Wale do a joint project. More than any other collab, honestly.

CyHi the Prynce was with the GOOD Music family for a long time. It was him, Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T that kept things moving after Common left. He's a very mad lyrical guy with a lot of punchlines. You should watch his freestyles on YouTube. He's top tier. If you like King Los for his freestyles, you'll like CyHi the Prynce.

You want me to recommend Big KRIT songs for you? Hmmm well, I'll see what I can do, although that's a lot of work. I think I have an old YouTube playlist of his I created years ago. I'll update it and get back to you on it, if not, I'll just namedrop some songs of his in a list later for you to binge on YouTube. No biggie.

I'm out of wax on Capital STEEZ, Joey Badass and Pro Era. But around 11yrs ago, what got me going besides 1999 and the Pro Era mixtape was Waves, Survival Tactics, a few target jams of theirs and there's one specific long song of theirs I used to like, very grimey beat where they all hopped on, like 7-9mins long song. I always wanted me and my crew to do our own freestyle on that specific song's instrumental. It has been way too long mehn. I can't remember shit.

DLC is pretty easy, just make sure you are collecting as many blessings as possible, otherwise you will be getting oneshot easily. Backhand blade does wonders against Messmer. Rellana barely takes damage in comparison to Dancing Beast, which makes her a roadblock. I think boss design in ER is far clever than in other FromSoftware game I have played, or at least studied for a bit (Sekiro technically is more suited to combat with its mechanics, but the way bosses are built makes them feel either too cheesy or too scripted oftentimes). Rellana, for instance, is great once you start using parry oriented shields (I assume bosses with light attacks or combo spammers can all be engaged with parry), which is easy tell since how light and humanoid she looks and her swings individually do not really hurt you much (to the point you can allow yourself to trade with her), making it an easy tell - I believe most of her attacks, if not all of them, are parryable (even if some of them are not even reactable). However this specific fights starts feeling like a Tekken matchmaking, since you can equip Erdtree's Greatshield and parry her projectiles or you can equip Buckler's Shield and start zoning her melee attacks to make her 'whiff', capitalize on the attacks by which she covers distance (or circles around you) since they get predictable and reactable consider how much animation frame they take, and punish her 'strings'/'mixups' accordingly. U can also jump over some of her projectiles and her last resort moon drops are also prone to you spamming jumping since obviously they are ground AoEs. That said, she is a bit too beefy once you get to her since you don't have enough Blessings at that point and will be encouraged to either go to Dragon's Pit where you meet a far stronger boss or skip the castle for the time being or find some other way on that hand shaped map layout.

DLC has quite a lot of flaws and is pretty lacking, however its lore and environment are gorgeous.

I'm down to playing Tekken 8, so long as we won't have billion ms/ping.

SMT is a great franchise. Its bogged down by not having actual dungeons, but its best entries still stand out in dungeon design from most JRPGs. Sadomasochistic labyrinth of dungeons is what I really like about the genre alongside customizable parties/groups that require from you to map out the area and get immersed instead of experiencing some dogshit power fantasy stories that are popular nowadays in most JRPGs. However SMT compensates by having really cool ideological concepts that turns the game into horror high fantasy (or rather Dark Fantasy. I can see it being inspired by Devilman) with choices that lead to different type of ending where you can even become a religious zealot and all. In terms of gameplay it may not have customizable party, but what it has is amazing monster design and companion system that makes you weaponize/befriend said monsters, making you come up with specific teams for specific dungeons and bosses and so instead of grinding for levels, you usually grinding to come up with counter teams and mix said monsters in the lab to make more effective party. I am not really a fan of Persona cuz there you have actual characters in the story, so interactions with monsters take a backseat or are flatout removed, so the appeal of SMT is lost. I have only played a bit of Nocturne and I like how it capitalizes on individuality. Personally I would recommend the Cock and Ball Torture fan version of said game named "Nocturne: Hardtype". My favourite so far is Strange Journey, which is basically Doom turned into JRPG. I been also really liking Soul Hackers but I got issues with save files several times so I had to postpone it.

Tekken, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter, Split Second, Shin Megami Tensei, Ultrakill, Elden Ring and such

You got a funny and off way of communicating that then, my guy 😂😂

It's all good though. I gotchu covered.

Let's see. I'll just go by some of my current age favourite hip-hop artists and their projects I love, there's no need to talk about My GOAT List and all that.
1. Drake - Everything of his up until Views. I stopped paying much attention to Drake after Views. He was my favourite hip-hop artist during my highschool years.
2. Kendrick Lamar - Give me Overly Dedicated, Section.80, Good Kid Maad City and To Pimp a Butterfly. I haven't heard much of Kendrick Lamar after this.
3. J. Cole - Born Sinner is my favourite J. Cole album. The Come Up and Warm Up mixtapes are daily essentials!
4. Wale - Ambition nigga! 100 Miles and Running? The Album About Nothing? Folarin and Folarin 2? Summer on Sunset? Festivus? Mehn, I can literally flood this whole chat with my discussion about my obsession with Wale more than every other artist in this whole list. The only other artist that comes close (and eclipses this obsession) is Drake. I still listen to Folarin 2 till this day on a daily basis nigga! TO THIS DAY!!! TO THIS DAY!!!!! TO THIS DAY!!!!!!!! I don't play with Wale.
5. Ab-Soul - You see the whole Longterm series, it's a daily essential alongside J. Cole's The Come Up and Warm Up mixtapes. I'M JUST A REGULAR NIGGA, DOING REGULAR SHIT, GOT MY REGULAR CAR AND MY REGULAR BITCH!!!!
6. Big KRIT - My current generation favourite hip-hop artist. Above Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole over the years. I shouldn't go into his discography, its impact is almost endless. However, one album - 4eva is a Mighty Long Time.
7. Logic - Under Pressure and No Pressure. Under Pressure, in my opinion, is one of the best and most perfect contemporary hip-hop albums ever created. It's up there with Kendrick's GKMC and TPAB for me.
8. CyHi the Prynce - No Dope on Sundays and his Black History mixtapes? 'Nuff said boy!

Honourable mentions - Joey Badass. I used to listen to a lot of this guy back when I was in highschool with the Pro Era projects. I loved Capital STEEZ more than Joey back then haha. Oh the memories when me and my friends had plans of creating our own rap group. So groups like Pro Era, Black Hippy and Slaughterhouse were our inspirations. Unfortunately, I haven't listened to Joey since I finished highschool in 2013.

I guess I should end things here for now. We can talk about these artists individually if you want. I have done a lot of hip-hop convos with other friends on here, I'm trying to get those convos so I don't have to retype a lot of things.

excuse my feet, sire, I'm not good at 2D fighters

I don't have a ranked list of albums that I listen to the most. If you want me to list any hip-hop album or project I like, then I can do that.

Hello,

Hm... My top 3 rap albums? I don't have such a ranking. It's very difficult to definitively rank albums (or projects in general). The only thing I can conclusively say is that Illmatic is pretty much my best hip-hop album of all time.

You do know when you say top rap albums and your personal favourite, those are two different things entirely. If the 3 you mentioned are your personal favourites, then what are your top 3 rap albums?

Yo. Thanks for the friend request. Would be happy to get to know ya!

Same, bro. I love everything about Gash Bell and for me is easily one of the best shonen ever made. And I'm also loving the first few chapters of the sequel. I'd like to let more chapters pile up too, but whenever I see it translated... I just read it automatically dahahahaha

Btw, I just saw Nujabes on your favs. You're truly a man of culture

Thanks for the fr and welcome!

Appreciate it! I enjoyed MAR was introduced to it during the old Toonami days and read the manga. It's a really good series

Eulogy and Show Me (Statik a real one for the Men I Trust sample).

I listened to 2000 a few times, solid album.

Bruh this racist zoro shit is brand fucking new. zoro is a badass. he killed 4 black ppl over the course of the series. coincidentally. he was just following luffy's orders. they were an enemy of the captain, he took them out. he also fought kaido. and almost cut off his legs to be able to fight mr 3. and tried to fight mihawk. and cabaji.
