okay this is my first time listening to dude too
sounds like disney channel rap or something

this feels like the ilm equivalent of a new york times trendpiece

the interesting thing about that video is that even tho it's a white dude rapping they still managed to shoehorn in a scene where a nerdy white dude gets in a circle and does bad dancing and everyone is like "lol white people"

and sam adams afaik hasnt been on national television either
tbph i find his flow on "donald trump" generic enough to be inoffensive, and the beat's not bad; i could see something like this, but with an actual hook of some sort, being a hit

mike posner has hits, i wouldn't be surprised if this other stuff became popular

btw i think it's wrongheaded to say that frat guys aren't into popular rap anymore -- these types of dudes are into drake, kanye, wiz and cudi especially
lupe is gonna sell 250k albums this week, i think males 18-25 are prob a large part of his fanbase

The reason why wale's album bricked is cuz he and his label tried to connect with that market but I don't think he's fratty enough
His restarted career with maybach music seems to make more sense to me
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 13 March 2011 01:04 (thirteen years ago) link
j0rdan i know lupe & those guys are big w/ frat audiences too.
i think this is a break w/ that though ... these are artists who are frat-popular w/out being otherwise popular
― deej, Sunday, 13 March 2011 01:13 (thirteen years ago) link
this shit is appalling, want to declare 100% allegiance w/goon crew on this, but "more popular than odd future" = because of YouTube views? not sure that's really a reliable gauge of popularity, tyler's on national tv, these guys are Popular On The Internet

lol IOW co-sign w/deej's last post. frat types are into all kinds of lame shit that normal ppl are repulsed by
i know thats not proof but there is no proof of anything any more -- we're lost in a sea of non-evidence of popularity -- my pt in bringing up youtube views is to show that just because we hear a lot about odd future in our social world doesnt mean there isnt another world out there that is paying attention to different stuff
i think the odd future focus of our blogosphere lately has been a bit myopic
& jordan's dismissive "well thats just like regional rap else where" thing ... so?? do those ppl deserve less weight than us because some of us happen to have blogs or write for publications?
― deej, Sunday, 13 March 2011 01:23 (thirteen years ago) link
another world out there that is paying attention to different stuff
this has been the case throughout history though - as long as I've been listening to music I've been occasionally running across stuff where I go "really? people like that?" and then it turns out there's a whole huge demographic that just was off my general radar. yr right w/general observation that one's own focus tends to distort the broader picture but the broader picture has always kind of been more a conceit than an Actually Obtainable Thing
imo

― five gone cats from Boston (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 March 2011 01:27 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess i was teh one to big challenge on that since i claimed these guys are bigger than odd future but allow me to posit it this way then: "it is my theory that this stuff is actually galvanizing a really large group of people with considerably less media attention, a group of people the size of which is underestimated & may in fact exceed the popularity of a group like odd future, possibly"
― deej, Sunday, 13 March 2011 01:28 (thirteen years ago) link
i was the one to BEG a challenge
i need to catch up on Mac Miller real quick like.
started out frat rap, somehow worked his way into (quasi-?)credibility, critics about-faced on him at some point, now is putting out his "soul" album...does that sound about right? or no?
has he legit gone from joke/horror to decent?
― alpine static, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link
He was never as terrible as people made him out to be. He did the whole "little brother discovers your Native Tongues CDs" thing well on Blue Slide Park

He sucks and he's always sucked and the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around

lol this is very true. But I found his old puppy dog on the playground stuff kind of likeable; it's his newer attempts to be an adult artist that are insufferable. He gets worse each year imo
