this andre nickatina guy... what's his deal?
― dylannn, Saturday, 6 July 2013 22:26 (ten years ago) link
the jacka, ap.9 and husalah - mob trial
i know jacka off cormega collaborations, a full track on legal hustle, where he seemed compromised by interest in east coast rap forms, into conflicted dope sales lyrical tropes, and this album opens with jacka sounding a lot like a haunted bay area cormega, riding in a box chevy lamenting the death of mac dre, .50 cal in his lap the only friend he can trust. after jacka riding rainy day new york beats and mob figaz gangsta tracks, the best moments on the first listen...1. husalah on "sleep with da fishes" every car he drives has the roof in the back pulling bitches in the mall on some noisy distorted drums smeared thick euphoric mess. talking shit on the outro as all the roars and squeals crescendo over top of him.2. "a gangsta's gangsta," which was created just for today, doooot doot doot doot doot, pineapple cream soda and just smoked the perfect amount of silver euphoria, 88 degrees outside on a saturday, car interior still smells like armor all. jacka nervous with his hand on his gun, that perfect round drum shape, jacka still with his hand on his strap whistling in the driver seat under california sun. feeling this. 3. quik on some '86 powerglide r&b, i can sort of appreciate it but it's not my thing, and i'm not really sure about the noise and speed on mob trial.... i like it on the surreal tracks, laying rubber in a dairy queen parking lot in a caprice... and i can dig it on "hott head," where it's turnt up way too loud, roaring synths and suddenly dramatic strings and hard drums, comfortingly familiar rhymes about sweeping up shells after you do the hit.4. "murder on my mind." husalah outshines jacka and ap.9 all over this album, just want to sit here transcribing his lines in all caps YOU WANNA GET FLY LIKE A GANGSTA / PUSH PIES LIKE A GANGSTA / BUT YOU SCARED TO DIE LIKE A GANGSTA / AND WHEN IT'S REALLY GOIN DOWN / YOU NIGGAS AIN'T AROUND / MAK-90 LAY EM DOWN / NORINCO 60 ROUNDS. -- someone listen to that and correct it, really hope it's a norinco shoutout. 5. "thrones and crowns," jacka in pensive storytelling mega mode again. amazing. 6. that fucked up chirp and piano beat on "gorgeous."
too many answering machine tracks and andre nickatina.

Nickatina (dre dog) is an old gawd of the bay. Had his shine in the early 90s w out any crossover hits or any notoriety outside of the yay. He's just kept that regional cult following. He hasn't done too much of note since the 90s imo and his presence on anything anymore is like a bay stamp of approval.

listening back on some nickitina now and it hasnt aged well at all. i loved him in high school but every did at the time cos it was cool to be down w him. very juvenile and basic, violent for violence sake but not as ott as like Brotha Lynch so its not nearly as much fun.

Which specific sound you talking about xp?
― Shock G Mo Collier (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 9 July 2013 06:12 (ten years ago) link
extremely dense beats, drums that sound sort of digital and slightly distorted and really snappy handclaps and other trebly snaps on the top of it, shit that sounds like sirens going off the whole time-- that doesn't describe all of it but i just mean NOISY. "ways and means" is the best example off the mob trial album, i think, and like, "white t-shirt blue jeans and nikes," what i imagine to the mid-2000s bay area sound.

b-legit - the hemp museum
man sorry. i've got nothin to say about this. i made a claim that if i made a list of my 100 favorite rap albums i'd have nothing from the south on there unless i really needed to fill space and i put on doggystyle but this would definitely be on there. this is the sound i love, the same bass and whine that came to houston, got slowed down a little, imagine anyone from yungstar to keke on the same beats. that bay area 96 sound is the template for all the houston classics like "tops drop," "realest rhymin." all these beats would sound right on sailin da south-- the one exception i guess is "gotta buy your dope from us," which if i knew anything about-- ah fuck, man the problem with doing this is i like writing about shit i know about, so i feel so nervous hearing "gotta buy your dope from us" as some proto-hyphy shit the forerunner of the turn of the century big beat bay area sound, but i don't know the history at all but it reminds me of that. b-legit is... i dunno, love that slightly mushmouth but flow is near perfection style. this is a classic.

Yeah this sound runs parallel with the suave house sound. Probably a little more emphasis on live bass slaps out west where the SH sound rolled a little smoother and deeper

read the OP, if you want to get in line I'll sign you up. Any era of west coast hip hop goes. Just whatever you think dylannn would like or whatever you'd be interested in hearing his thoughts on.
Also some dude feel free to jump in on these as well as I think it would be cool to read a couple different angles.

and so blankfaced violent, dispassionate violent. violence as the core of the whole thing, not part of a dope game organizational capability to defend (opening track quotes ) and convincingly threaten or streets is chaos stay strapped or you might be taken under. just every hook KILL A NIGGA ROCK HIS ASS WITH THE SEMI-type thing ("cold body" ft kunta) mozzy has like this ultra hd first person shooter feel, hunting through the streets with like the album cover ak dripping blood. KILL HIM ON SIGHT / RISK DOING LIFE / MIGHT BE ABLE TO WIGGLE IF THEY DO IT RIGHT ("body 4 body"). especially without the backstory, the story about meaningless local beef oak park mack road vines of guys getting stomped at the mall, it's technically good with the flow and clean dark beats but the impression can be of mozzy as death squad middle manager, leading a morning pep rally to a team of shooters in khaki slacks and polo shirts leading a chant of NIGGA I KILL EVERYBODY ("nike" ft nelco). there's no specific target just corpses and the ones that got away for now. without cracking a smile showing much humanity, even on the tracks he's supposed to just bleak loading up the clip emptying the clip loading up the clip emptying the clip, putting the 40 in true religion jeans and going to sit outside someone's mama's house. rating: it's okay, technically proficient flow without any idiosyncrasy or much emotion. few guests offer shot of personality to bleakness. not really my thing.
