dope ass mixtape
I Still Bump His Last Tape Too.
DOM KENNEDY = DRAKE

Wow shock the hell outta me, i was just listening to 25th Hour yesterday. Dom doesnt get the recognition he deserves like other new comers. really slept on.
Dis crazy i was jus bumpin both of his last project
This is probably one of the best tapes he has out, but im still stuck on Future Street/Drug Sounds. Be Cool…
Dom>Drake
Drake is garbage *no click clack*
AY could u re-up the FSDS tape cuz i wanna hear it =*(
I still got FS/DS n heavy rotation 2… I see niggas is hungry out here… This Best After Bobby shit is a banger!!! Been listening to this Kid since that Maestro Knows episode and he has proven to me that he is the truth… The Quality and Effort that Dom has put into his work to me makes him the illest Artist coming outta LA right now… Limert Park to be exact! South Central Stand UP! A&R’s get on yo job pls…
yeah dom is killin shit. i was listenin that fs/ds in the whip today, then i come home to this. that d.o.a shit is doooope.
Oh shyt he dissed “Thurzday from U-N-I” on track “D O Muah”
HERES A MEGAUPLOAD LINK IF LIMELINX SLOW
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FV02JK37
man fuck uni dom and pac div run LA
LMAO he dissed UNI again on track “Toast”.
I feel like a reporter lol….Go ham on them Dom
This tape is stupid DOPE!!!
Im glad he addressed Thurzday on “D O Muah”
“D-O Muah, I kiss you, you hoe ass nigga/and watch everybody forget you, you hoe ass nigga/ weekend type of guy, on the low ass nigga/ so I dont fuck with Thurzdays, you ol slow ass nigga”
“imma find em in the ‘Woods and burn the whole forest/ U (N)ot (I)ndependent…”
“Steve Urkel clothes lookin like Laura’s”
Dom > ________
BAP BAP BOW
whats the situation between him and Thurz?
Yeah I see this nigga pullin niggas cards too… Anybody know what the “D O Muah” diss is all about? Goin in hard niggas…
^^ “U-N-I -Run Son” (dissed Dom “it aint your Hour if its 25, 26 or 48) or some shit like that
^^^
What I dont get is I seen em both walk in and perform the same venues.. I just seen em both in the same spot like a month ago.. They don’t bring the funk when they around eachother but diss eachother on tracks lol.. these niggaz is hoes
Yeah I seen en perform atta show together a couple months back. After the diss from Thurz was out for months.. They on some rap shit.. They should just catch the fade and keep that shit moving..
WOW! This is just too sexy, nothing like eating seaseme chicken and gettin’ a new DK mixtape, I’m really still bumping 25th hour LOL
“AWE AWE!”
Dom Kennedy has a chin like Quagmire from Family Guy. Ol’ gumby looking nigga. lmao. but his music is dope tho. haha
LMAO@ dat nigga
But his music is the business. I put Donna Karen from Curly Tops on FS/DS just because LOL
Even though I’m from Oakland, I’m really feelin’ the music scene down in LA: PacDiv, Dom, Tiron, Ayomari. Just, another reason to be a proud California :P
I really need some bay area artist to put it down though!
Awe, Awe
tired of mc’s who are average at best thinkin they dope enuff to rock a whole tape full of old stale beats….yawn
Keep both his last mixtapes on rotation. And ya’ll right, Dom is soooooooo slept on……
does somebody have a working link of Future Street/ Drug Sounds? I’m trying to seee wat the buzz is all about before I download this
does somebody have a working link of Future Street/ Drug Sounds? I’m trying to see wat the buzz is all about before I download this
liked his previous tapes, this is sounding good. also 2dope u need to get L.E’s mixtape on here!
@fulltimeboss,
After a full listen, I have to agree with you on one part, I am getting tired people rappin to old beats, ESPECIALLY D.O.A.
I mean, there are a lot of very good, upcoming producers out there with some sick ass beats. Why not rock to there shit?!?
I still think DK’s best tracks to date are:
1. donna karen
2. dreams don’t come true
3. watermelon sundae
4. showtime.
“Awe, Awe”
Niiiice, this will hold me over til Add-2 drops today
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to bed to early!!!! >: (
Now I gotta wait till I get home to cop this!
I’mma start checkin this site first thing when I get up in the mornings instead of first thing when I get to work…ugh……..can’t wait to hear Dom is that dude!!
I think the lil beef wit Dom and U-N-I all started on 25th hour. I remember Listening to “Bite Me” and “Whole City On It”…If you listen he said a couple sublimes that i felt was directed towards them. I knew i wasnt trippin or i could be wrong lol
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=242620640384
peep that
@fulltimeboss I kinda feel you on that…but I wouldn’t say he’s average at best, he’s better than alot of these fools out here gettin radio play
be with one girl yes I probably can but I aint that selfish so I share it with pairs of them DOM my ninja. He keeps getting better
Its cool and i def fucks with Dom. But after FS/DS I wanna hear new stuff over original beats. Still he went in.
Where is the boogie tape at???
None of his mixtapes sounds the same. Dom always brings something different to the table with each project that he puts out. Pure dopeness. Real artistry.
im so pissed cuz my girl str8 nixed my dl of FSDS. i cant get it anymore. anyone know how i can?
NEVER EVER SPEAK OF THE WU-TANG…………
……I LEARNED SO ANY STYLES….FORGIVE ME…..
…ARE YOU WORTHY OF A GENERAL?
YOU WANT TO FIGHT?
ONE TO ONE
MAN TO MAN……
LETS GET READY TO
wow wat a suprise!!!!
this shit is dddooopppeee!!!
For FS/DS & 25th Hour, go to Dom’s website.
http://dopeitsdom.com/
This shit is fire.
DOM repping the west.
LMFAO at DOM trynna be Nipsey now, nigga youve never loaded or held a gun. talkin bout rich rollin…nigga didnt them niggas from 40s get on your head for reppin darkside when 25th hour came out? stfu
talkin bout you in a blue city with red ties
watch your mouth dom and ‘be cool’
oh and you suck live, with yo girly ass voice nigga http://www.twitvid.com/AE28F
i don’t care that these are all on mainstream beats considering he just dropped a tape with original beats a couple of months ago.
This is the first Mixtape I’ve listened to in a long while that has had ALL industry beats. This is not a winning formula in 2009, ask Papoose (hell even he has some Kayslay loops in the stash). I don’t care what this brother is talking about, the fact that he is rapping over these tired ass beats is enough for me to put this in the recycle.
wow..im a little surprised..like the rest of yall im still bumpin the last mixtape..good looks dom!
real deal ur an idiot nipsey is good but dom> nipsey anyday h
Hopefully this is the mixtape that wakes rappers up so he can get some decent assists on his tracks. Way sick tape.
man that u-n-i vs. dom is some petty shit. they need to squash that shit real quick. like my mans up top said pac div, uni, and dom run LA.
Naw man none of these dudes run LA, maybe on the internet yeah but the real LA no one does, shit Drake runs LA, Lil Wayne runs LA, the problem is niggas in LA don’t know how to come together and to overpower the machine that the industry is and make their own industry within..BTW Dom is an okay rapper, U-N-I is also okay they never make go WOW when I hear songs, Pac DIv on the other hand hows lots of classic MC wow moments so I would say they are the best in “LA” out of those 3 but truthfully, dudes like Blu, Fashawn, K-Dot, Nipsey Hussle are way better than “Thurzday or Dom” lol thats a joke when folks even acknowledge them being amongst the elite. Step into the real LA streets and you aint hearin no UNI or DOM you hearin Nipsey, Drake, Wayne, New Boyz etc. No offense to dudes reppin LA but I think the internet be givin these dudes false conceptions of how big they really are.
and I’m not hatin just being truthful. The internet is a big platform but its very different then the actual streets. I respect Dom, and UNI and PAc and tons of rappers from LA, but the reason we arent running anything is because of egos that shouldnt really be there to begin with, none of yall have sold a record, none of yall have had sold out shows from fans that weren’t your friends that acttually came to see you. None of yall are ballin off of rap. So just come together and support eachother and then will discuss whos runnin shit.
@RUNLA Good point stating that Drake, Nipsey, Wayne and NewBoyz run LA…but seriously U-N-I is definitely that breath of consistent fresh air in LA…they are respected and make great music that is better than pac div, dom, etc…as far as WOW MC moments go, I think they have the best package of lyrics and great music…if they wanted to just focus on lyrics and be like Canibus, Chino XL, Crooked I, etc, they could easily do that, but where would they be? U-N-I can be as successful as Outkast…that’s something to think about
Holy Thurzday freestyle > Dom’s life + catalogue
http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2009/08/27/thurzday-u-n-i-holy-thurzday/
this “wu wu wu” nigga is buggin’ out… but i just couldn’t agree more
@ Best After Bobby Brown?
Bretah of Fresh Air, naw I don’t think so, that new Land of The Kings song isn’t the kind of hip hop that runs cities or good MC moments, I don’t know if its the beat or what but the whole things is weird to me. And you right they probably can spit lyrics and be like Canibus and Chino XL, but I think Pac Div does the best of both songs, like Pac Div and No NO are lyrical and commercial at the same time and its better than tons of songs UNI put out, I think the fact that UNI were the first rappers to emerge out of the LA scene they got a lil head start as far as connects, they have a good show though I cant lie. And yeah I think Thurzday is better than Dom in some cases, Dom need to work on his timin, he be off beat too much with his word. But that aint sayin much saying Thurzday is better than Dom is like saying Nick Van Exel is better than Derrick FIsher. Its a comparison no one cares about. Bottom line is Dom Kennedy is pretty good. He’s doing his thing, but until niggas is gettin money and doing REAL SHIT besides being on blogs and actually impacting regular everyday non-internet peoples lives then they all need to shut up with that RUN LA shit, but heres my top LA list RIGHT NOW….Blu>Pac Div>Everyone else the rest is up for grabs.
PS Holy Thurzday freestyle was whack, some of yall niggas dont know hip hop
WOW! Dom Kennedy > Drake.
@RUNLA I live hiphop. There is nothing special about Pac Div except for their Swiff D beats….they’re like a Naughty By Nature with 2 Vin Rocks and 1 Treach being Mibbs. Not special at all. You must be insane to think the Holy Thurzday freestyle is whack. Even Thurzday’s verse on Return is better than Dom and Pac div’s catalogue. U must not know hip hop loser
Nice mixtape. What’s the OG beat for On & Off Switch?
dom sounds like fabolous with down syndrome lol. he has bars every once in a while, but he sounds so damn boring. i fucked with him before, but the dude is too hollywood for his own good. thinkin he runs shit, but pouts in the corner when pac div has the cameras on them in the studio and don’t know who he is. SMH dom. you’re losing fans by the minute
My nigga dom!
LA’s best out.
Shits decent. All these so called “lyricists” arent rapping about shit but shoes and bitches that they dont get.
And for the record. FREDDIE GIBBS is the best rapper and lyricist in LA. Dude is rapping about REAL things.
im from baltimore, so idk who run LA, but gucci runs baltimore as far as most listened too lol. I mean is all underground thou all these niggaz sayin Dom run LA is ppl who live somewhere else nd shit, mainstream wise Dom might get there. Dom got some time and work to put in if he actually wan run LA, but also is gon be hard cuz is so many artists already there who are big lik Wale runs DC lik recently but there has never been a mainstream rapper frm DC so it wasw easier
@Best After Bobby Brown?
lol I’m no loser…but to say UNI is better than Pac Div I dont know about that one man. Line for line, song for song, Pac Div is better as far hip hop goes…Break it down into categories…
Lyrics: Pac Div serves UNI when it comes to wordplay and actual content
Delivery: I like YO’s delivery but he says typical hip hop shit like “you niggas better break like B-Boy’s” when Mibbs says shit thats simple but still shows skills like “Now what can you tell me, I kick it like Pelle// with pretty young things who got rings in the belly”
Image: Thats probably the only thing UNI got over Pac
Live Show: UNI is more energetic but I guess you have to be when your songs arent that great…
Beats: Yeah Swiff D makes ill ass beats duh, UNI should cop some
I’m not hating on UNI, I support all music. But truth is there is no way that they are better than Pac Div toe to toe. NO WAY…
@Best After Bobby Brown?
PS
WTF cares about his verse on Return…No ones heard that song.
I would pay for all of Dom’s shit… Why? He consistently makes good music. To see this really made my day – DOM is probably the most underrated out the west… nuff said.
blu,pacdiv,nipseyhussle,jayrock,uni,bishoplamont,tiron,dizgirbran,badlucc,mykestro,topic,yaboy,tyga,crookedi,glassesmalone,fashawn,krondon,philtheagony,planetasia,murs,helllivinglegends,aloeblacc,mitchyslick,I could go on for day’s about thee nice artist L.A has to offer. The real truth is we need to stop comparing them and apperciate them for there own uniqueness and surport.Then and only then will the WEST BE ON TOP!!!!!!!! WHERE WE SHOULD BE…IMO..
@RUNLA you are an idiot. There is no comparison lyric for lyric. Beyoung says prada kicks every 4 bars, Like is boring and Mibbs has good bars every now and then. Song content, lyrics, live shows gives U-N-I the strong upperhand without signing to a label and releasing an official album. You will see
this is alright. nothing special.
Dom is sick he gets better with every tape and I like to see growth in an artits but he has yet to say some eye brow raising shit lyricly. as far as who runs la shit whoever is on the radio or tv mainstream wise theres only so much you can do with a couple blogs and a myspace to promote. street buzz > internet buzz anyday of the week but as far what new artits runs la on the indie underground tip. imo Blu Pac Div at the top Fashawn TiRon UNI Dom Diz Graban Casey Veggies Tyler The Creator Odd Future Carter right behind em
^^”Best After Bobby Brown? ” is either thurzday hiding behind the name, UNI management, or an obsessed fan. Regardless, the fact that you’re commenting about rappers on a blog site shows you should really work on your time management as a human being – unless, of course, you’re being paid to critique (cool job btw).
^^
you right that’s exactly who it is lol, but check it. I agree we shouldn’t compare but a couple reasons why the westcoast hasn’t blown up like it should is because the right artists like blu, PAC div, Rashawn, etc are all fighting for shine amongst whack ass rappers that should just be fans and support this music instead of trying to be something they’re not. Honestly 98% of the rappers we see on these blogs wouldn’t be rappers if it wasn’t so damn easy to pretend like you’re the next kanye or jay, all a niggardly gotta do is record some tracks, do a photoshoot, do a video with some cameos, go to a club and get the contacts of a dj and net thing you know these dudes are the next big thing “running cities”. bullshit I bet some of they neighbors don’t even know they rap only this small ass community on the Internet. Like I said no offense to anyone rapping for fun or because they love hip hop, but just be humbles don’t act like your shit dot stank or you runnin shit because you know someone. Let your music do he talkin. Prime example is blu, he’s at the top of the game and doesn’t have a Twitter and has one pic on his myspace and has more true fans than all these blog rappers combined. Think about it. It’s neve too late for some of yall rappers to give it a break and go get a degree in something besides tryna get signed. Especially with all these freestyle-a-day shit and behind he scenes and interviews. Shut up and make music that alters lives. Majority of them is just bragging about shit they ain got. It’s really up to us as fans to not allow that bullsji and support the real.
Ps
some niggas just don’t really know how to rap really good Dom is one of them, he’s clever and reps la great though, some of the stuff he says is some shit only la niggas know which i appreciate but bottom line he ain’t a top artists. His overall flow and delivery ain’t top nothin
@ RUNLA
trust, thurz, UNI, management, whoever else u wanna name isnt wasting time making up names to comment on a post ya dig…
…on another note: why fans gotta choose a side as far as who they feeling etc…why cant yall like ALL the dope artists popping up in LA recently?!?
and f*ck that Run LA talk…aint noone running LA except Gangbangin and Hollywood…and who cares bout runnin LA anyway LOL…
just SUPPORT YA LOCAL ARTISTS…esp the LA ones…we more United than yall think…lol…
blu does has a twitter but its annoying to read CuzHeTypesLikeHisSpaceBarDontWork.
anyways, tape is disappointing. with all the producers in LA, dom couldve at least got some new beats
i wasn’t trying to make comparisons. i’m saying i see uniqueness in all three. pac div are my favorite group and i feel you on that be young talkin about prada kicks too much, but to see the growth in their rhymes since the blendtape. they all really stepped it up a notch. u-n-i aint for everyone i know, but their shit is something bigger, you can see they put everything into their music. they will blow up. people talking about dom being off beat and shit, thats honestly one of the things i like about him. his style is raw, 25th hour sounds like a straight up cassette to me. just something you can vibe to the whole way through. and to be honest i just think a u-n-i/dom track would be crazy. i really thought everyone was just a big ass circle. everybody is really keepin shit cool with each other. pac, tiron, dom, fashawn, 310, h.o.p.e, casey veggies, all of the fcc. i thought they all fucked with each other.
some of yall got too much time on your hands….long as comments…anyway im a little disappointed that he wasnt spittin over original best but still dope!!!
man all yall flexin ass people in here hating lmao…..good music is good music point blank
+100 Trillion @ Ree$e^^^
This shit is crazy! I have never seen so much inner-state hatred in my life.
I’m from Oakland and all, but I thought yall LA cats was suppose to be “extra” west coast?!? Yall sound like some pure bullshit right now!
I’m just happy to have some Cali cats in my iTunes catalog beside Dre, Snoop, Game, Short, E-40 and Cube!
DOPE
1. I’m not hating on anyone, I think Dom is straight just not on top of anything, and he is better than alot of rappers. I would rather listen to him than Jay-Rock, Spider Loc, Ya Boy and all these other wanna be gangsta rappers, I just dont think that Dom is at a high level yet. Thats all, not saying he wont get there but as of now I dont know. He comes with maybe 1 or 2 songs per project that are worthy, but he only has that laid back flow not really versatile, once again its just my opinion, based on the kind of hip hop I like.
2. Its not about supportin local artists, its about supporting GOOD local artists. If a rapper is weak we shouldn’t support him just because he live around the corner from us. That will just be supporting whack shit and then we wonder why there is such a lack of good music now-a-days.
@runla
Duh! Of course they gotta be good local artists! Lol imo noone u named was wack…smh
So feel free to like and support who u want in the city, but it sounds like u got a lot of hate in ya blood homie…its a BIG diff between criticism and hate, in case u didn’t know…
And on that note, d/l the nigga tape and SUPPORT YA LOCAL ARTISTS!

Preferred Classics | Dom Kennedy – Best After Bobby (Mixtape) said this on August 30th, 2009 at 7:29 am
where is the original tracks? c’mon dom. i want to u spit over some new beats, none of this recycled stuff
i hate summer hands down is gonna be my new inspiration jawn. i love the album. Dom has done it again.
we murder every beat …………end of discussion
niggaz are ignorant quit comparin people! u-n-i n pac div are a lot diff.n i believe they are damn near equal lyrically. i have every pac n uni tape n dnt c pac div as blowin them out the water they are both great groups. la has so much talent but majority hip hop fans are the biggest tards on earth.
Pac div makes good music for hip hop heads and UNI makes good music for everybody. I gave fried chicken and watermelon and a love supreme to homies that don’t fuck with hip hop and they loved it. I like pac div, but uni is a really special group. They have “it” and I see more potential in them than any other new group out.
As far as the tape, I played it over the weekend and wasn’t blown away by anything. It was aight tho. Ill give it a couple more chances. What makes it hard to support the new LA artists is the fact that they don’t seem to support themselves SMH
how some niggas who aint from LA run LA? Dom is from LA, Pac AINT…stop that…that’s not hate, just stating facts
Dom has been rippin my speakers apart since that 25th Hour tape. We gotta get him up here in T-Dot for some shows for reaaaal.
I liked Future Street/ Drug Sounds but this new mixtape is wack. Lets just be real about that. He is not that dope of a rapper at all. He can get away with it on original beats, but as soon as he steps on these beats that you heard plenty of emcees rip harder, its so apparent that his skill is bellow average.
Another thing that is getting irritating is his constant repping of Leimert Park. As someone who has lived in Leimert Park my entire life I never have seen this nigga around. And I’m not the only one like these. I ask multiple people on the block about Dom and all of them say they never see this nigga. Never ever.
Dom try and come off a little harder than he really is plus he not that dope on the mic point blank.
Man, Dom is just dope. I can’t see why some people on here say he’s wack…his delivery and flow are better than alot of these rappers out here. Best of luck to him, maybe he can get a whack ass hit record and get signed..,
@Sammy Swords: for other rappers who rep places they never are, see Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, etc lol.
But I wish I had never listened to “They Say I’m “, one of the worst songs I’ve heard in a while…
@BongRips the differenece is Jay Z and Wayne are doing national tours and press and are global artists so of course they are not on the block. Plus they have millions of dollars. Dom is just a local dude so far. He not in France or some place like that.
@Sammy Swords
I agree with you on that, I was just saying that people ALWAYS do that bullshit. But if Dom is gonna keep reppin that shit and puttin his city on supposedly, he needs to BE THERE. False reppin is never cool..
Yo why is Dom and Thurzday beefin? I cant find anything on the internet.
the link said its expired that womps someone send it so my email por favor @ ayoitztoya@aim.com
Can somebody send this to my email also @ peedubb85@yahoo.com
re-up please
Dom is nice, and FS/DS is a classic in the mixtape circuit. He really reinvented himself. But this tape is just a bunch shit he probably did when he was bored.
Go download “From The Westside With Love” which dropped about two days ago. Dom delivers another round of applause for that one.
http://www.myspace.com/planetlouie
Ohh nooo! Who’s talking about drake? He can’t even freestyle! Go to youtube & look up drake freestyles he’s checking his blackberry to see wassup. A true rapper is one who can freestyle, one whoo writes his own lyrics, & writes about his REAL experiences.
Dom kennedy is pretty dope I’m not gonna front. I don’t like u-n-i at all! & lil wayne is a mainstream rapper why the fuck are ppl saying he runs la? He runs the fucking _US practically! Hes wackk & has ppl write his shit & his rapps don’t even make sense! So please don’t bring those “pussy ass niggas” into this.
