this is def either an "i'm old" moment or a "lol, memes" moment

i feel like there are tons of kids doing this style but its not clear to me what about his shit stands out exactly

the new meek shit is extra tight IMO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WwokOgwEkQ

2 Chainz EP is really tight, the first song is the best but yeah they're all good. He's a bit more subdued on it and he doesn't rely on punchlies as much (though they're still there obv)

Who was that weird kid from Sweden or whatever? Reminds me of that

Also Meek's generally played himself during this beef but "War Pain" is pretty hype

his whole new EP is good

i didn't think the 2 chainz ep sounded that good, his writing has def dropped off

hes almost certainly got a ghostwriter imo

Who are the big ghostwriters these days?

i know Key! did a bunch of stuff for people

there are lots of dudes tho

I appreciate that Meek specifically disses "Hotline Bling" in his song

fat mankey can barely write his own verses and he gets paid to write for other people?

King Mez wrote most of the lyrics on Compton I think, not sure if he's done other stuff

i dont really get much from his solo material but in what way is he 'barely' writing verses?

New Raz Simone tape is really good. Apparently he's signed to 300 now.

Bumped into this today; somehow missed it until today. Very fun.

want to reiterate that this album is amazing. wish it would earn 1/10th the interest of a half assed future mixtape but w/e

dig myself some albee al even if his best songs are remixes of older shit

but this new one w/ pnb rock is dope

^^ ulysses, nice find. I love all the 00s bay area stuff that was basically some looped bars of a classic electro track (yeah I know that one's kraftwerk but whatever), would make a sweet playlist actually. Mac Dre/Mac Mall - Dredio is the first one that comes to mind.

playlist is up to date.

for grim NY street shit been digging Griselda Records/Fashion Rebels (Conway, Westside Gunn, producer Daringer), their twitter bios say Atlanta and now in Buffalo NY for some reason...somewhat down with Roc Marci I think?

Thought he had a stroke or something but I guess Conway got shot in the head and lived, crazy

oh that 2nd one is good.

the kevin gates album is really good

i swear deej was repping it itt?

"thought i heard", "hard for", "the truth", "ain't too hard" >>>

yeah it's good we were just talking abt it before the break

this 2 Chainz is so much fun

more rap EPs please!

Started a Kevin Gates thread

xp- average mixtape length going from >20 tracks to about 10 has been one of the best developments in rap the past couple years (what are the releases that set off this trend? was it future?) but yeah a lot of rappers that aren't high priority would get way more spins from me if they cut it even shorter

another new Boosie, sounds fucking great

http://www.audiomack.com/album/world-premieres/boosie-badazz

trae tha truth + young thug is such a great, contrasting pairing - their second great song together

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqJxtvsVCdU

and GUEST VERSE NICKI is back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqJeL66Zo8o

This Bobby Brackins and Ty Dolla goes hard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU1pPFXunQM

The new IAMSU! is also good

i get the sense that "have your own hip hop beef with a member of the wu!" was a pack-in bonus with the price of the album

the crying mother with a brain tumor selling ghost's cannabis oil adds a certain layer of dark surreality

good deej review of the vic spencer / chris crack album whicj is really fantastic : http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21520-who-the-fuck-is-chris-spencer/

if white gzus are eightball & mjg, they're epmd.

really great album

? Epmd was almost done by time 8ball & mjg can't out also I love the Chris Spencer but their styles are way more battle rap energetic than pmd or sermon, who were really I think unique in NYC rap for being less consciously "skills" based

ten year anniversary of dilla's death yesterday. here's an hour of hydrant game.

@sh@kedown i'm just comparing two new chicago duos to two legendary duos whom they're akin to in spirit.

feel like i dont get put on to new shit enough any more. where do u guys hear new shit

through checking the audiomack app for "trending" and "recently added" songs, mostly

There's also this:

Cool! Not sure I agree w their slam death metal picks tho...

the genre designations are a bit off at times but it's a good starting point.

that's........ a thing

Twitter says Jay Rock was in a "serious" motorcycle accident today.

:(

question for goons:

so i was thinking, like now i guess basically the dominant rappers are drake and future basically? plus various autotune warblers and post-keef type dudes...anyway my point being, do we now start to now looking at Lil' Wayne as one of the transformational rappers in history? Like in old school terms like perhaps Run-DMC or Rakim where it's like they actually enacted paradigm shifts to what "rapping" was....or is that too simplistic and am I forgetting someone else?

wayne & gucci

influential rappers of the last decade are wayne, cam'ron, gucci, kanye, jeezy.
