rolling ringtone thread 2008

You ain't heard the new Jim Jones and Corbin Bleu mixtape? Shit is fire.

Hell Rell & AJ

"Juelz Montana" was funny, every other joke that's been made about this has been sub-custos.

Probably true.

this new rhymefest that's all michael jackson shit is dead serious

Que?

thriller remake thing?

this shit here. beats all from mj/jackson 5 tunes, the first genuinely funny interludes ("conversations" between mike & rhymefest) that i've heard in ages. great shit.

or here's the hiphopdx link so you can stream the shit. you can dl it on dude's myspace i think.

oh i was thinking you were talking about that MJ shit kanye and will.i.am are working on.

this is just weird cause i didn't connect with blue collar at all, but i downloaded this just for the gimmick of all mj tracks and i'm loving this.

Murdapolis08
COME ON MAN HE COULDNT HAVE GOT THE REAL MIKE THATS LIKE GUCCI MANE COULD GET DAVID BOWIE ON A TRACK.

pretty salient shit right there

tbh something kitschy like this has always seemed like rhymefest's final destination

THATS LIKE GUCCI MANE COULD GET DAVID BOWIE ON A TRACK.

ok this

i'm sayin man, this is funny and lyrical and it knocks and it's all my favorite jackson 5 shit and whatnot, i fully expect to be bumpin this through like march or some shit.

i can't remember jack shit about his record but the beats on this are actually reeally fucking good and fest seems way less annoying than i think i thought he was.

i think he picked up a sense of humor between point A and point B.

which thankfully separates him from the consequences and kwelis of the world

Yeah I need to check that mixtape out, I really like Rhymefest as a rapper and his whole persona and sense of humor (way more than Lupe if I'm gonna go with the obvious comparison), but all that Mark Ronson/Citizen Cope/Strokes bullshit on his album kinda ruined it.

haha the words "Kool G Rap featuring Haylie Duff" also murder all Disneyset jokes ever.

the fuck is this thread?

i dunno, but the subject line sucks. start a new one if you can't think of a better title.

^^^^

I can't believe dudes made this.

Juvenile vs Jubilee

Ban whitey.

The fact that at least ten or so people saw fit to involve themselves in that is mind-blowing.

new weezy

"When I taught my son how to shoot a gun it was because I owned a legal, registered shotgun at my house. When I bought it from the gun store, the guy asked me if I had kids in the house. He said, “When your kids get to a certain age, you gotta teach them how to shoot. Because if you don’t, when the gun is in the house, the kid is going to get curious and play with it. But if you teach him how to shoot the gun, then the kid is going to understand the power that the weapon has.” When [my son] turned seven, I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, and he told me to take him to the range and teach him how to shoot the gun. I said aright because when he gets older, I was gonna have to teach him anyways. When [my daughter] gets older, I’m going to [tell her about it as well]."

prodigy interivew

this thread should've been called "To The Batmobile: Rolling Snap '08"

I regret posting this title in the other thread. It sucks.

ok so i'm sensing a consensus. do we reboot? somebody make a new thread.

btw NEW ISH FROM THE KING OF THE BURBS and it's kinda serious!

that wayne track hoos posted is on the leak ep.

hey dudes,

i got an itunes gift certificate for xmas from gramma...i wanna get something i've never heard before that's awesome.

i was thinking about Z-Ro? i've never really heard him.

either that or for some reason I've never had any Cormega records...

suggestions?

Hyphy Hitz?

tvt hyphy comp :-/

I know what it is, I was suggesting it to M@tt!

16. Pain in my Life feat. Trey Songz
17. Enemies Live feat Bun B

not that i really give a fuck, just sayin

zzz

wake me up when saigon ends

^^worst sub-custos non-zing of the decade

weirdly i'm less put off ever wanting to hear Saigon's album by him being a crybaby on the internet than i was with Lupe. possibly because his album will at least have some good production.

yeah that saigon thing was so lame. but he has to blow up so i can sell this old 12 inch for LOTS OF MONEY. plus i liked that first single a lot.

is that turf talk album really that good? maybe i should get that from itunes?

yeah the only reason i might dl is for an album of jb productions

13. What the Lovers Do feat Devin the Dude

no birdman

wow @ xxl firing elliot wilson

no random hate for "crank dat." it's just a fucking mess, and the catchphrase/chorus whatever isn't even good. and please take your clipse fan-hate back to eight months ago.

judging by the number of crank dat spongebob/spiderman/robocop response records id say the catchphrase is pretty good

"which thankfully separates him from the consequences and kwelis of the world"

hes always had a sense of humour. see: that song with ODB or brand new. consequence isnt po=faced either. kweli though, was better before he tried to show he had a SOH.

Side of Hardness?

that too.

lupes album is pretty decent IMO. still needs better beats but the new album feels less tampered with and has less annoying singers on it.

i need to listen to that.

has less annoying singers on it.

one song w/ michael santos is more than egregious imo.

matthew santos w/e fuck that guy

i like the scarface album too even if it sounds like hes repeating himself.

beanie sounds excellently fucking heated on his album but he has terrible nas-ian taste in production. he shouldve gotten freeway to pick for him.

8 diagrams>>>most other rap albums from the last 12 months.

i loved that consequence video where DMC played his OG uncle who just got outta the joint.

New Al Green produced by ?uestlove (!)

guys dem franchize boyz have a new album next month and we haven't even talked about it. what kind of snap thread are we running here?

'talkin out da side of ya neck':

http://www.zshare.net/audio/63483342e70c9a/

pretty ho-hum if you ask me. decent chorus, some okay punchlines. i didn't want to see them fall into obscurity but if this is the first single it's probably a certainty.

Dr. Dre mixtape from '87

http://suckerfreeblog.mtv.com/2008/01/09/dr-dre-drops-a-mixtape/

^^surprisingly good blog

i'm kinda ignorant on new west coast stuff...but i'm IN LOVE with this song ...young dre - i love l.a.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfFPNzlrI6U

this guy worth checking out more?

dre launched a line of studio headphones the other day

guys i heard "superstar" off the cool today and i kinda liked it 0_o

'superstar' is good. the rest of the cd is okay. the beats generally suck (surprise surprise) but there are like 3-4 good hooks and only a few annoying verses. the song with snoop is awes and his verse is A+

when i eventually delete food + liquor and the cool off my hard drive i'll end up keeping like 8-10 songs combined.

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/209/purpbythepoundmid9895laqv7.jpg

not sure how long ago this came out but it's great and further proof that Young Dro > errryone else. can I post a link?

also, "Japanese Denim" from Trilla (new rick ross album) is my prospective fav. song of whatever week it leaks...

i thought that fabo/dro tape was kinda zzz

though wtf @ santos going budget coldplay xxp

he didn't used to sound like a flea market chris martin?

lolol @ rev's picture upthread. i just noticed that it was a photoshop

xp yeah that Geek'd Up was thrown together but this is a really good mix with a bunch of great stuff that I hadn't heard, almost no drops and actually mixing of records... plus Fabo is on a bunch of tracks.

and Fabo RULEZ

where did that santos dude come from, is from some emo band?

Ice Cube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzeZhCt5PVA

hahaha "Compton was a nature preserve for BUNNY RABBITS!"

Song = fucking DOPE

I thought "American Terrorist" w/ Santos was just about the best song on Food & Liquor (btw fuck album titles that insert the artist's name like both the Lupe albums, shit is so dumb), can't stand "Superstar," though. Still boycotting The Cool, just when I'd forgotten about the Tribe thing he went and had that political debate w/ Rhymefest that proved once again that Rhymefest is sharp as hell and Lupe is dumber than dirt.

Anyone else heard the Beyond Hamsterdam album? I've enjoyed Darkroom's stuff before (they once sent me a bunch of stuff when I was writing about The Wire music for my college paper a few years ago), but this seems cleaned up for a wider audience. One of the things I loved about Hamsterdam (Best of Baltimore) was how rough it sounded, and how it seemed almost cobbled together.

Though the music is great. I do like the other Wire soundtrack more (tho PFM is right: 5 Down in the Hole's *is* too many)

i already made a thread for it (although you can discuss it here too obviously): 2 official soundtracks to HBO's The Wire out in January

don't necessarily know what you mean about "cleaned up for a wider audience," though, the 4 Darkroom-produced tracks are exactly as they appeared on the Hamsterdam mixtapes, as are the 4 or 5 other tracks I'd heard on other local releases before. but then, I guess taking any song out of the context of an 80-minute mixtape full of voice mail interludes and putting it into a concise 40-minute compilation will probably make it sound a little different.

That's exactly what I meant by 'cobbled together.' Listening to the mixtapes was sort of (for me) about the experience of aurally submerging in that particular scene. (If that makes any sense.)

oh, it makes sense, i aurally submerge myself in that particular scene on a daily basis. Darkroom definitely make some of the least cobbled together-sounding mixtapes around here, though.

I didn't even know NORE came out with an album this year. I was listening to his reggaeton album today, fun album that never found an audience.

5. DJ Khaled ft. Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Birdman & Rick Ross – “I’m So Hood”

luda, busta and big boi are the only good verses on this

whiney all about khaled posse joints

Once Florida, always Florida

that's how i feel about every trick daddy single

the video for 100 million has rick ross on a speedboat tho so it's all worth it

The N.O.R.E. is simply a good N.O.R.E. album, short and sweet, with a lot of good fake Neptunes beats and some killer punchlines. Also goes for the Redman, which was like 26.

As for Khaled posse cuts, they're just very 2007 to me. Shoegaze keyboards and every top rapper bringing their A- and B+ game. What's not to love?

And "Brown Paper Bag" by Khaled ft. Everyone is better than all of them! It made my Pazz & Jop ballot because I thought it was a single (but it turns out it wasn't).

my fav khaled thing is still "holla at me"

pitbull has the most killer verse in that and i usually can't stand him as a general rule

^ban (although, yes, Pitbull's verse on "Holla At Me" is like woah)

That's all we talk about?
Well welcome to the south

i realize there are 8 dudes on there but saying there are "only" 3 good verses on a song is pretty funny (although I like Jeezy's too and Wayne's is kinda growing on me).

whiney gets props for having one of the only year-end lists besides mine that has "Duffle Bag Boy" or "All The Above" on it. dudes putting "Throw Some D's" in '07 still get a late pass, though.

"Throw Some D's" was my number 39 on my 2006 list. It blew up in 2007 and I treated it as such.

By the end of 2006, I was like "Hmmm... this is interesting"

By March of 2007, I was like "This is amazing!"

It was a slow burner for me. And for America too since it really took three months to blow up, not like Lip Gloss, which exploded the second it hit a speaker.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48UKcgH4t9A

fine should i say that only 37% of the verses are good??? the other major problem is that they're all in a row so there's no incentive to finish the song esp. if involves verses from rick ross, birdman and fat joe.

(i listened to this again and actually jeezy's verse is pretty good)

Big Boi's verse was the best verse of 07...real talk

second only to Birdman on "100 Million"...lol

heard noted snap anthem "i'm a j" coming out of some dude's truck in best buy parking lot tonight

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhca0R35JhdpMr9k6y

the AZ undeniable sampler up on a few sites sounds predictably awesome.

YAH TRICK YAH is pretty funny. better than the other "let me get em" one which is dumb.

yeah and big boi on i'm so hood was amazing, i just love him, so fucking consistent, i rarely if ever hear a verse from him i don't like.

rev "cold sweat" is my ringtone. first thing i hear is "i don't caaaaaare!"

i haven't gotten a new ringtone since like last year bcuz i still have to pay mad cash for them so right now it's part of wayne's verse from the remix of "gimme that"

that or poly of "stay fly"

my ringtone is the instrumental to rubberband man, but i also have the beginning of baba o reilly and uncontrollable urge by devo so i switch it up sometimes

was: be easy
now: trans europe xxxpress

was: mass appeal
now: mostly just keep it on vibrate

boring I know

that 4-note T-mobile theme ring. fuck songs.

^ringtonist

baba o reilly is pretty awesome i feel like i'm i should be walking around miami in slo-mo every time my phone rings

you're getting your C.S.I.s mixed up.

wont get fooled again would be an awesome ringtone if you lived in miami

I think Horatio Caine's ringtone is "Stunna Glasses At Night"

oops my bad, didn't mean to diss the c.s.i. massive...

even though the whole gimmick is getting of old and i hate all the nerds in the comments of all these, crooked i is a pretty awesome mixtape rapper, this is one of the better ones recently:

typo of the year:

He went on to admonish the Internet bloggers who spread lies. "You know what I tell 'em? Y'all ni--as ain't fresh as I'm is," Bow said, leading into "Fresh Az I'm Iz." That was followed by the "I Think They Like Men" remix, where the crowd rapped along to his catchy one-liners like "I'm under 21 with a black card."

hahahaha no wayno

"hell hath no fury" didn´t make it 2006 nor 2007. last hiphop album i liked. ok there was k.i.z in germany...but that´s more an art thing. and who would care about kanye west without the justice-influence

plz stick to ashlee simpson album cuts, jr rotem

RONGest comment of 08:

also, i thought Big Boi had one of the worst verses on the "I'm So Hood" remix (of the guys that're good rappers at least.) the more i think about his '07 guest verses i think dude needs to step his game up, 'specially compared to Andre.

wtf

nu-favorite khalid:

cash mon-ey MILLIONAIRES....cash mon-ey BILLIONAIRES....cash mon-ey TRILLIONAIRES...

what happened to the single that Big Boi was gonna drop at midnight on new years?? I'm definitely anticipating Sir Luscious Left Foot more than I am Bun's new one since that track is so utterly disappointing and dull.

even "speedin" is more interesting. Its like jr rotem is the poor mans The Runners (who are a poor mans cool & dre) and sean Kingston was brought in as a cheap replacement for the kells/Akon/tpain hook factory. And lord knows Rick Ross is no Bun B!! wtf!?

well rotem did "beautiful girls" so i'm sure him and kingston are tight so it makes sense that he's on the hook

i just don't get why bun would even wanna fuck with rotem? it's not even like he got a pop song out of it!!

actually he did the whole SK album...but, yeah.

No explanation?

i saw it on last.fm and it made me roffle

lol

guys the vid for "Speedin" is hilarious

i was just thinking about it today cuz i heard the song on the radio

i think they should write something into the code where the immediate post after a new poster's first post is ilx system saying "you must be new here, man. we the best, man"

maybe in all caps

the remix is way funnier than the video...Drama and Khaled on one track = lulz

killer mike workin with No ID. a HOOS is amped:

That was the boy No ID man. He’s actually executive producing the next major album, the one that’s going to be on a major label. As an artist you be on a label…the s**t that supposed to be happening, not happening…you get angry, you from the neighborhood and you be wanting to do that neighborhood s**t, that dumb s**t. He [No ID] was one of the people that said, “Hey man, you need to study Kanye, you need to study this.” He and I have similar ideologies and philosophies, he was able to help me re-center. Otherwise my separation from Purple Ribbon probably wouldn’t have been as amicable. Even though it wasn’t as amicable as it could have been, it wouldn’t have been that amicable.

And then [No ID] got some new opportunities and it made sense for us to clique up and do our thing. Beyond him being the No ID now that everybody know from Kanye song [”Big Brother”], Resurrection is one of the records that helped changed my life. There’s certain records that happened in my lifetime that really made an adjustment to how I approach music and that record was one of them.

though realistically i haven't really been hit by a no id track in a minute.

just seeing the names together is cool though.

man the new papoose songs - law library, like what you love - are so fucking lame...i don't know what i ever saw in that dude...i like his voice for some reason, but god he seems to be regressing with every song, flow is getting SLOPPIER if that was even possible. the game in NYC is so fucked up, everyone gets stuck in mixtape limbo until no one cares

Rappers Kaine and D-Roc of Atlanta based duo the Ying Yang Twins are scheduled to appear on an upcoming episode of the Dr. Phil talk show to debate a recent campaign to put an end to saggy jeans.

A search of the bus turned up 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and ecstacy believed to be in Carter's possession, Sanchez said.

Carter, also known as "Weezy," performs both rap and hip hop and is known for his mixtapes, in which he blends pre-recorded beats with an uninterrupted, unrehearsed flow of rap lyrics.

Fans of his in Yuma expressed shock over news of his arrest in Yuma County, although not necessarily over the fact of arrest.

"That's so crazy, I can't believe he's in Yuma," said fan, Laura Garcia." I love his music - I just love him. He's really fan- based and I like his voice when he flows. I'm not shocked he was arrested for drugs, I 'm just shocked he was in Yuma. I mean, what was he doing here?"

Twenty-four-year-old Britton Bowns wasn't surprised by the southern rapper's arrest.

"It's like whatever, he's not the first rapper to be busted. I dig his mixtape stuff and the tracks 'Sky's the Limit', 'Mo' Fire' and the 'Drought III' album is off the hinges," Bowns said.

"I've been listening to him since he dropped his solo stuff in '99 when he was like 16. He's one of the sickest lyricist I've heard. When he was on 'The Basement' on BET he did a free-style rap, acapella and tore the roof off."

Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah recently delivered an blunt message via YouTube to fans to stop downloading his new album, The Big Doe Rehab.

In a video message posted on his MySpace page, Ghostface bluntly spells out his disappointment over the meager performance of his latest album , which hit stores in early December, blaming illegal downloads for the source of poor sales:

"I got 115,000 friends on MySpace and I get 30,000 (copies sold) in the first week -- that's not good. I know a lot of y'all got (the album) but you downloaded it."

Fan responses, posted to Ghostface's MySpace page and below the YouTube video, range from supportive well-wishers to blatant, unapologetic admissions of guilt.

After a final appeal urging fans to purchase the album, Ghostface promises special attention to fans willing to fork over the cash:

"Bring the CD to the show and I'll kick it with y'all."

weezy mean mug = b+

Does anyone know if the Fat Joe/Diddy remake of "Party All The Time" will surface or did it get scrapped? I heard that it won't be on the album but I would be seriously disappointed if the world never had the chance to hear this potential masterpiece.

ROLL WITH THE MAFIA SIX

i really like the new erykah badu song produced by 9th wonder and the video is pretty slick with the live action album covers and all.

does anyone know who the Bake Up Boys are? They seem southern maybe but Jim Jones is in their video, like that song....

DL'ing that Caltroit mixtape by Bishop Lamont and Black Milk, pretty excited

also:

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

maybe i'm alone on this but it takes me till like the 3rd chorus every time to spell out independent right

that boosie freestyle vid is tight

did anyone post this yet

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/mixtape/id.353/title.re-up-gang-we-got-it-4-cheap-v-3

nah right has download link

i think hoos and i are probably the only ppl really fucking w/ this though

m@tt and whiney too i guess

i like clipse!

ethan and deej hate them i guess?

i dunno, i think they are good rappers, i actually like the mixtapes better than the albums cuz i like them going off other ppl's beats besides neptunes...

i didn't see the DL link on nah right? is it on the front page?

http://nahright.com/news/2008/02/04/we-just-think-we-better/

it's in there

yeah i remember you reviving the wg4c 2 thread. i think ethan/deej/al/rev(?) think they're garbage though

fyi a few songs on there are mislabeled. switch the one called "good morning" w/ the one that has the actual "good morning" beat. same for "roc boys". those are the only ones i caught though.

sweet got it

i like clipse

i like clipse (sometimes)

still so embarassed at how amped i was about hhnf. luster wore off after about a week, but i'd already called it my #1 cause i suck at the teat of hype.

but i will listen to this and probably like it.

but hey at least i haven't posted on that vampire weekend thread

clipse are good, the hype far far outweighs everything tho ... they are not the second coming of epmd or something

the whole idea that they released THE BEST RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR ISNT IT CRAZY HOW MUCH BETTER THIS IS THAN 99% OF RAP??? is what's so absurd about everything. I enjoyed a bunch of the tracks on their second album, but the whole overanalysis of their lyrics, everyone picking apart generic references to bapes, it just got really ridiculous

srsly tho when is the second coming of epmd

lol yeah deej otm esp. since theyre basically just punchline rappers who know a lot of words that mean coke

i mean at least with cannibal ox, they sounded different than 99% of rap ... not better, but it made more sense that people would rally around it

I think what was the most frustrating thing about The Great Clipse Herb-A-Thon 2006 for me was that their first album was, like, way better and no one gave a shit

I do love me some Clipse tho. But I wouldn't want to admit it in the presence of corny indie fuxx0rs

my biggest problems w/ hhnf is a. it was narrow b. it was no fun c. the beats sucked some balls. no "virginia" no "young boy" no "when the last time" no "cot damn" and the list goes on and on.

my fave part of the whole hype was def the "skeletal, minimal beats match their stark, unforgiving lyrics". i mean lofuckingl

What do you mean by "narrow"?

my fave part of the whole hype was def the "skeletal, minimal beats match their stark, unforgiving lyrics". i mean lofuckingl

yeah i LIKE hell hath, but jeez no to be all sick mouthy on the tip but the mastering was hellishly harsh, and the beats were already harsh to begin with, i think that more than anything made it not have legs for me.

like i said above i like the mixtapes just to hear them go hard over other people's beats....like "Cry Now" off the new tape is probably better than most of hell hath..

...but yeah honestly i always imagined if lord willin' had disappeared and they never got the p-fork hype, ethan would be posting shit from "what happened to that boy" with "^^^^^^^the realest" after it

fyi i still jam lord willin herb-a-thon or no

rev:

focus wise. it's probably my fault for being tired of coke-talk after listening to hhnf, but on lord willin at least a lot of that stuff was framed in a larger narrative ("young boy" about selling coke as a come up, "virginia" in relation to the state [even though they don't really talk about themselves all that much in the song]). and i respect their "we got fucked over and our lives sucked and we had to sell coke so we cut out all the fun songs" (i.e. a "when the last time" which is just a great song about going to the club, but widens the focus of the album) thing but it didn't work for me.

like ill take "comedy central" and "i'm not you" over like every song but 2 on hhnf

^^and those are back-half album cuts mind you

yeah I like their old stuff fine. i just think the nu-Neptunes stuff on the last album was garbage, and don't really care to hear their mixtape shit (but then, i don't really care to hear some of my favorite MCs' mixtape shit), and they seem to have gotten really smug as their lyrics have become more repetitive and monomaniacal. maybe the beats they get from Danja and Dame Grease on the next one will be good, though.

Thus far (and just like on HHNF after the new wore off) I'm actually liking Roscoe P Goldchain (?) the most. But then I really dig alliteration, and obv he does too.

dude's "bodies like kill bill" was eventually my favorite verse of the whole record

lol skateboard p's "house is paisley"

i would def. support switching out sandman for roscoe on the re-up starting lineup

"chains on my neck like i'm fresh off the amistad"

0_o!

roscoe verses are genuinely scary

the more i think abt it roscoe is kinda one of the coolest most unique rappers out there, his flow is so distinctive

this line is o_O from scenario 2008:

like pearl jam
i kill my foes like jeremy
and here i am with open arms
like journey

I think a lot of people misunderstood the "Jeremy" video and thought he was gunning down the other kids, not just himself. Anyway line woulda been better if it was "I bit the recess lady's breast like Jeremy."

I hope ethan responds to HOOS's quote with an annotated list of jewelry chain/slave chain punchlines from old records.

me too, actually

i always hunt them shits down

i love how he pronounces jeremy "jerrmy"

the most o_O line for me in the whole thing is "re-up gang in the building tonight/ oh what a feeling selling bricks of white"

kinda way too yucky for my taste.

and it was the specificity of the amistad ref that got me, i'm aware that chain/chain whip/whip double entendres are not exactly the freshest shit out.

that's not yucky, it's just a boring subtraction of whatever subtlety or cleverness "Roc Boys" had in the first place.

nah i'm aware of that but it's way too celebratory for my taste (maybe if you heard it it would be more clear).

well jeez he drops a pearl jam reference! i'm only human whiney!

lol @ 2 good-song-having-ass The Carter II being the pinnacle of rap

wrong thread?

wrong thread

also btw i wasn't saying that pearl jam line was GOOD, it's funny reminds me of like paul barman or something

haha yeah I know you weren't praising it, but I assumed you were going o_O for the same nitpicky reason I was (Jeremy didn't kill his foes!)

i do kinda like how on a couple tracks pusha's "eugh" is like double/triple-tracked. jeezy-esque.

man maybe in the face of how one-note the clipse is, i'm kinda loving the shit outta ras kass kickin' some old school "deep" psuedophilosphical lyrical sci-fi hoo-hah! no one hardly does conceptual joints anymore except nas sometimes or i guess the lupe album (which i haven't heard) has a cheezburger song...but anyway this is kinda dope:

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/audio/id.4175/title.ras-kass-butterfly-effect

sorta sidenote: anyone download that fixxers bootleg back then? been listening to it lately, and (besides it being totally excellent) the thought occurred that this must be the music pharrell's been thinking he's hearing in his head going into the booth trying to sass over minimal skeletal stuff these past few years. only without a millionth of quik's charisma and wit.

case in point! really skateboard p could do this word for word and still just sound punchable, so i dunno what it is tbh.

basically it's just fixxers and 'dey know' for me in 08 2date - and uh, BRRRMbrrmbrrrmBRRRRMMMbrrm HELLOOOOOO BROOKLYYYYYYYN, which has i reckon has developed this sorta cool afterlife outside of the jigga album it never made much sense on in the first place. is it a single or something? i hear it a lot, around in england. it's pretty awesome.

best amistad ref is chino xl's 'i get plagiarized like how spielberg did amistad'

i spent the whole walk home last night grunting along to the "dey know" beat (i started throwing in kung-fu punches once i got on my street and out of the public eye)

also talking of lupe: ray cash, whatever happened to that guy

haha btw was it always obvious to everyone that he's going L-O, L-O dey know dey know and not "hello, hello", cos er i only just realised

this is what british policing/and or old sitcoms will do to you

Shawty Lo - Foolish

^^^^^^^^muy bueno

i would like to point out i have been otm about shawty lo

man, whatever with that dude. "what I'd really like is if The-Dream did a Young Jeezy impression, I think that's something I'd listen to a whole album of."

yeah idk the 8-dude mega-remix of "dey know">actual "dey know"

i actually like 'foolish' better than 'dey know'

what's up with the vocal level? is this the real mix or what?

it just sounds like a bad mp3 rip

regardless u dudes are wrong about 'dey know,' that shit is the jam

i know these BOLD STATEMENTS are annoying for rolling thread discourse but i dont get to do it any more and i figure there are worse songs to hit the trenches for

seeing as this rolling thread currently has zero discourse you could do a lot worse things than hit the trenches for a shawty lo song

have any major label rap albums even dropped yet this year? i fucking hate first quarter.

i basically said i everything i had to say about the gucci mane album from december on ethan's idolator post about gucci but it's def my fav rap album at least since freeway dropped i think (maybe ghost which i overrated like crazy surprise surprise but w/e)

no albums, im really feeling that z-ro and trae single and this shawty lo sounds real good to me too. all hope is not lost

flo rida is the top-streamed album on rhapsody.

you guys prob already talked about it but im digging that baby bash/sean kingston track

new az drops this month doesn't it?

yeah I just can't shut up about Baby Bash

i am like the only dude who really likes this rhymefest/mj mixtape

yeah I just can't shut up about Baby Bash

-- Alex in Baltimore, Monday, February 11, 2008 9:06 PM (15 minutes ago) Bookmark Link

sarcasm?? dude you're not the only one on this thread, and def there are folks here ready to talk sean kingston

also that track is hot and baby bash is funny

haha I just think "I'm sure you've already discussed Baby Bash's latest to death" is a funny thing to say in any context, dude.

still want to hear the Rhymefest mixtape, just haven't had the initiative to check it out yet.

man even the skits are good, which i haven't been able to say about any mixtape in a long time. actual lolz.

INCENTIVE

man...rhymefest is just what the dr. ordered! : )

so fun, love the songs and (as deej pointed out) FUNNY skits on a rap album?

best skits since ghost weed?

mind of mannie fresh... has the funniest skits of all time

just hearing this styles p joint, it's pretty good! really classy with all these pianos

by "joint" i of course mean album

is b.g. ever coming out?

I liked the single he had out a little while ago:

there was a period 2 yrs ago where i never wanted to hear another mannie fresh intro ever again

i might still think that i dunno

i've read about him on every blog in life for the last month or so, but the avalanche of bloghype kinda put me off. worth a shot, though?

i just listened to one song it sounded kinda cool, like he was influenced by new nas shit, not illmatic...in a way...i dunno...goddamn that name though, so beyond bad....i haven't seen him on blogs, but maybe i don't go to the right blogs...

it's just like i guess metal lungies and nah right and rafi from ohword keep goin on, but they do it a lot

is dude from NO? he says magnolia projects in one song! he doesn't sound like he's from NO at all...that would surprise me

Jay Electronica and United State of Electronica should work together.....or not.

Midnight Life was to be the debut album by hip hop duo, The Fixxers, containing rappers Quik and AMG. However, as of 2008, due to illegal bootlegs put out my business associates, the album is scrapped.

O_o

yeah it was kind of a bummer how, after the singles and all the hype, suddenly everyone was all "wow they just put the album out for free on the internet, awesome" and then it turned out that someone jacked it from them and leaked it w/o permission.

no wonder it sucked

is it really that bad? I just really like "street money" but "Boss" is basically on par with "speedin" or anything else...that is, good for what it is but nothing mind blowing

Webster Gradney (born September 6, 1985) better known by his stage name Webbie, is a rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He came into the hip-hop scene in 2005 with "Give Me That Pussy" which featured U.G.K. rapper Bun B and the song "Bad Bitch" was featured in the 2005 movie Hustle & Flow. Both singles are on Gangsta Musik, his group album with Lil' Boosie, the album was released in December 2003, both songs are on Webbie's debut album Savage Life which was released on July 5, 2005. He has a style that involves not making any sense while rapping. He is in the process of creating a new language that nobody can understand.

so srs

what is it

lawl

drama & fabolous there is no competition

digging the bishop lamont pope mobile specifically as well as in general.

oh is that song with juelz and wayne on that fabo tape? i was wondering where it came from

apparently not but this looks pretty good

ill defend fab to the death

shit, the Fab/Drama is finally out? I got tired of them talking it up without actually dropping it like a month ago, Fabolous is pretty much the only mainstream rapper I get more excited to hear a mixtape from than an album.

i have a couple friends who go there. the only band they listen to is flipper, though.

only listening to flipper isn't a bad way to be

the new fat joe video is funny, i love joe but he's really making it hard to not hate him lately...not even like the songs he's on are bad, just something about him lately seems so stupid

LOOK ON YA CHINESE CALENDAR

WOW. Via a Pitchfork Media interview with Rivers:

Pitchfork: Can you elaborate on what a more experimental Weezer record might sound like?
RC: Longer songs, non-traditional song forms, different people writing and singing, instrument switching, TR-808s, synths, Southern rap, and baroque counterpoint– for starters.

When asked for clarification on the rapping part:

Pitchfork: Oh, and who’s doing the rapping?

RC: Moi.

Now, I love both the Blue Album & Pinkerton very dearly. But that sounds like a fucking awful idea. Is he taking a page from Cosby’s book? What would “Buddy Holly” sound like with 808s?

I'm glad you brought this to our attention and are taking it seriously. Someone else could so easily assume he was bullshitting, but I'm pretty sure the next Weezer album will be exactly as he describes. I must go contemplate this development, I'll be back in a few hours.

copy is from metal lungies

dude do you really think i would begin a post about rivers cuomo with "WOW"

I was copying my post from some Ghostface stan board too. Honest.

also the "WOW" part was what convinced me it was you

HOOS you are missing the important point which is who gives a shit

touche

some atmosphere fans probably care.

accompanying public service announcement on his myspace

anyone checked that full pete rock album on his myspace?

(i like 'bend it ova' better but 'ride dat beat' sounds more like a single)

pete rock album is pete rock, but its sick

wait is the pete rock album pete rock? rly?

yeah wtf does that mean big hoos

i'm saying it's the same soul-jazzy boombap he's been doing for near two decades, and he's still real fuckin good at it, and i still enjoy it.

new dro is dead serious btw

single? or did the lp leak?

where is that b.g.

i thought i am legend was aight but i've been playing that song rtc posted in the other dro thread ALL DAY. on some top 3 singles of the year shit

single? or did the lp leak?

-- deej, Thursday, February 21, 2008 9:36 PM

i am legend, mixtape

old, i guess?

j0rdan straight re: new single though

i thought that tape was pretty new hoos

i thought so too, just that i said 'new' and deej assumed i meant something else, thought maybe i was behind? whatevs, i can listen to the funky atlanta shit all day

i read that as "i thought that tape was pretty hoos", and i was like "does that mean it's bad?"

in any event, things are starting to pick up soon? shawty lo album next week?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66yxtafml_4

i know he1geson is feelin me on this

so i was playing the music for this party a couple weeks back & this 19 yr old dude had never heard 'all about the benjamins'

feelin old right now

it doesnt really sound 'pop' any more

i think my favorite time of the week is fridays where i just sit around drinking and blasting rap music, after work but before going out

i know plenty of juno and arcade fire loving 19 yr olds who get pissed when i play (mostly rap) music at party but even they usually give it up for 'all about the benjamins'

that's like a real middle school jam right there

i mean was this dude from kosovo or something

california. he was requesting 'snap ya fingers'

np convicts "i love boning"

that's not too bad

last weekend i got requests for "low", "one country song cuz i really wanna get with this girl", "no more rihanna [ppl who don't want to dance to 'don't stop the music'= mental banhammer]", "journey", "my name is jonas" and, my personal favorite, "lemme just scroll through your ipod real quick"

haha this one girl asked me to stop playing techno when i was playing stevie wonder once

np "mo murda" by bone thugs

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/Stratus934/InsideThePenaltyBoxBanner.jpg

xp to techno girl

i know rite

normally im hella polite to folks requesting, esp girls, but that was just like o_O so i just told her "no"

new rakim produced by just blaze

if you're into that sort of ting

which i def am

i know plenty of juno and arcade fire loving 19 yr olds who get pissed when i play (mostly rap) music at party

wtf do these dudes wanna be like "funeral is my jam" or what

their "dance party" playlist has "rebellion (lies)" so YES

Do they dance like stereotypical "white people"?

holy shit @ new 3-6 single

http://www.wordofsouth.com/online/?p=997

what rap song uses the same bass sample as "Made Men" off pete rock's new one?

one quick run through and i'm not loving the pete rock but i'll give it some time

can we talk about how hilarious boosie's ad-libs are on independent

leavin the club kinda early cuz she gotta go to work
(BYE GUHL)

also wtf @ "she made my dick stand like kareem abdul-jabaar" on that 3-6 single

http://www.datpiff.com/images/tapes/I-Am-Legend-mid11631-large.jpg

jyeah

o i was wondering why no one was repping 'all that money' on that dro thread, why u gotta run over here sarge

song is glorious anyway. i was always gonna like it as a trend but it's really great how rappers seem to be hitting exactly the right summer wistful/cynical note with it most times

(also "on some top 3 singles of the year" strikes me as a completely weird personal barometer but nm)

(also "on some top 3 singles of the year" strikes me as a completely weird personal barometer but nm)

the thought "this might end up being one of my 3 favorite singles of they year" entered into my head idk. is that dro on the hook? no right? i wish though that would be awesome. i guess it reminds me most of 'sensual seduction' in terms of feel, minus the whole t-pain business.

i didn't rep for it on that thread bcuz that thread is embarrassing and i didn't want to bump it

i thought the mixtape was just aight but people are really talking it up so i'm gonna listen to it a few more times

if he releases it as a single i'd be shocked if it didn't make it into the top 10 of the hot 100

thread is classic it just takes like an hour to load cause of all the huge DRO_PINK_CAPRIS.jpegs

it's at the very least a time capsule of what i did during my insomniac period this summer

that being screen-cap young dro outfits at 4 in the morning

the 3-6 is top too, i needed 4 of the 5 minutes before the epicness really set in but yeah whoa

really like young buck n boosie (been missing a classic g-unit skanker): http://www.zshare.net/audio/791566

and this random ca$his banger hits a spot also: http://www.zshare.net/audio/7387980c1a41e5

that buck/boosie link is nuked

http://www.zshare.net/audio/7915669ce39acc buck got chomped soz

yeah sorry sarge, i cosign any and all screencapping

starting a trina thread now, probly see yall back here to discuss it

Shawty Lo album leaked earlier this week...it's actually really good, much better than, sayyy, Gucci Mane's album, probably Webbie's (haven't heard it, did that leak yet?)

i like some of it a lot, have trouble listening to dude for a whole rec tho

damn gotta hear

"Let's Get It" is fantastic

lol that boosie verse on the young buck song is really a SKINNY DUDE ANTHEM

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=75885093

bledsoe is fucking great, came out in 07 but i didnt hear it til now

have trouble listening to dude for a whole rec tho

^ yeah this, can't get past the first 6 tracks. good 6 tracks tho.

the webbie's out (havent heard properly)(haha jordan otm ages ago about how impossible it is to spell out 'independent' tho) but i'm not sure either will be better than gucci mane's for what that's worth. (not all that much tbh.)

some parts of this Carter III preview have me pretty excited, like "Wayne's singing isn't just a run through the T-Wayne ProTools patch, it's chopped up and layered over itself in a dense, alien collage" and 'Hollowed-out and bleepy."

http://www.blender.com/Exclusive-Previewing-Lil-Waynes-Tha-Carter-III/Blender-Blog/blogs/1168/18751.aspx

yeah ^^^this but i'm forever holding out hope when it comes to wayne + vocoder

on that fabo/juelz song that was making the rounds a couple of weeks ago i thought he sounded like dying jeff conway from celebrity rehab but i guess sounding like he's dying would be his goal wouldn't it

forgot to say i'm sure that is dro singing on that tune, would kinda destroy the whole thing for me in my mind if it wasnt.

yeah i really hope it is but i couldn't tell bcuz whoever it is is singing so softly

you talking about "All That Money"????? cuz that is definitely dro on the hook
