in general? gtfo

not saying that Tity Boi doesn't have his moments, but it's been a long 12 months, so if a loud, not-quite-as-funny-as-he-thinks-he-is rapper has to photobomb a track, I'd rather it be somebody else at this point

eh, he's relegated to the song's second half and he's no worse that 2 Chainz

hes worse than 2 chainz

WAAAAY

I don't see a lot of art in what either of them do, so trinidad is pretty much the same thing with less catch phrases, or even just different catch phrases, which is a step up at this point

doesn't even seem like much of a basis of comparison tbh

whenever this thread is bumped i click on it just to read these posts again:

get yr 'îron game up, rap

haha yes

i don't mind trinidad because i love rappers who yell; there are not enough rappers who yell these days

2 chainz album is very underrated... i like "all gold everything" but if trinidad james' entire career amounts to the quality of rapping on B.O.A.T.S. i'll be shocked

lol boats

2chainz record being underrated will be the best thing that could have happened to it, for it

yeah good job w/ that review

lol

ppl want to make fun of hipsters whether pitchfork likes or dislikes things, is one of the main things ive learned thru music writing. it doesnt actually matter. the only game is not to play

wrong thread...or the perfect thread?

right thread

im probably missing a couple tho

"walkin lick" is one of the only ones from this year i can actually remember and not in a good way

? that song is dope. great mike will beat

trap back is great as a whole, def top 10 release of the year for me

For the last couple of years, whenever I hear anyone refer to the holiday season, I can't stop myself from saying "HOLIDAY SEASON" in my head in the voice of the DJ drop

sorry wrong thread

weird bootleg remix i am feeling

So did anyone ever try to compile all the no dj mixtape tracks from the 07-09 run?

This is funny and amazing, until you realize they let an accused murderer speak to these schoolchildren. Photo is all-time though

i randomly downloaded burrprint 2 hd last night--hadn't heard a good few of the songs in a long time. made me wistful. miss u big gooch.

2008-2010 was some of the most exciting rap music ever made imo

100% agree

2007 pretty great/underrated too

yeah, jeez. like you're listening to 'beat it up' which by every indication should be a boring boilerplate radio joint and if you're not really paying attention, it kind of is, but then the beat switches up so you're listening to the lyrics a bit closer and it's

four thirty still blowin purpy
08 'verti rollin dirty
wardrobe clean as dish detergent
got your girlfriend picking purses
say she lonely
gucci, only one wish to meet me in person
when she met me hold my neck
and told me that she loved my verses

which isn't nearly as flashy as the verses that follow, or even that remarkable at all compared to other sections of the track, but it's just such a nice, unique little construction on a song that really doesn't demand it. it doesn't jump out at you right away like 'freaking partners...' or whatever else, but it's there for whenever you decide to notice it. and i feel like that was and is one of the best things about that period, that aside from the handful of brilliant, stop-you-in-your-tracks lines there were on every tape, there were just so many little things going on that were so unusual--from the words he was using to the way he was talking about things to the patterns and flows he was coming up with, and most of the time it was all of those things going on at once.

it really was a crazy zone he was in

I've been obsessed with this track lately. Much simpler lyricism than his '08-'10 run, but every line is so effective

(My first successful YouTube embed in ages. Feeling good right now.)

am i the only one who didn't know gucci was dropping trap god 2 tmrw?

'Opposite', great track. I find that I appreciate certain tracks over time, and constant discover new tracks after I return to particular tapes. Barely noticed this track, for instance, last year...

Another one like that for me:

trap back is one of his best mixtapes! can't wait for trap god 2

omg this sample

"Bullet Wound" is really a revelation. First Wayne performance in a while that's made me think, oh yeah, I used to love this guy

u can buy the trap god 2 no dj on itunes. not sure how i feel about this trend (just kdding i hate it)

I think it's cool. The DJ is necessary because it lends energy and momentum to a really long listen, but sometimes I want a clean version of a track or two if I want to share it with others or make a mix or something. It's a nice option, and if it gives Gucci some well-deserved revenue for a top-notch release, so much the better

tbh just ended up torrenting the no-DJ versions of the 2012 mixtapes anyway, but I would be willing to pay if more artists did this

Gucci + V-Nasty > Gucci + Young Scooter
