rolling CORP low bar just to appear hip to teens thread 2015

badass is awful

ehhhhhhhhh, it's actually not too bad. And this is coming from someone who detests "real hip hop". It has a loose vibe and is pleasant enough. He can live.

no one should detest real hip hop

There were quotation marks involved. Please do weigh in on the album though.

the badass album is pretty enjoyable, barring the drum'n'bass stuff (heard that and was like O RLY? a roni size tribute?). even if the thinking behind the revivalist style can be reductive & disagreeable, i don't mind listening to the music itself.

speaking of revivalist-minded rappers, i feel like lupe fiasco has reached new levels of insanity and/or trolling with this track

it sounds like v fun goon stuff, interesting beat/production, also a trae the truth guest spot - but i figure since it's lupe, it has to be some sort of stealth attack on trap-rap or some similarly didactic shit...right?

def not sure who this dude lucci is (no susan) but im really feeling his tape 'wish me well'

couple cuts

kno no better - http://youtu.be/c1IUsrIb29Q

the Warm Brew album - Ghetto Beach Boyz is out

really great so far! cool dirtbag LA stoner vibes

Dom Kennedy guests and I guess if I had to compare it to anyone it would be him

i dunno, maybe a little more like street version of Pharcyde in places?

loving it

feeling this cover aesthetic

this song really hits a nice nate dogg vibe

Warm Brew signed to Dom Kennedy's new label opm i think. They had another tape 'the ride' I liked alright a couple years back but this new one sounds better

ah ok yeah that makes sense then, def that same kinda lackadasical vibe i like about Dom

like ultimately i wanted to like Odd Future cuz of the dirtbag skater cali vibe but those kids are just too wound up for me, they like Eminem too much

Loving the Future & Zaytoven tape.

heard the new vic spencer tape, shit jams, gonna be a real deej/m@tt common ground record

its some authentic backpack lyrical shit in like ... redman / young zee type lane

hm.

out jan 30 i believe

cool i'll check that
whats your take on warm brew? could see u going either way

im digging it so far

just copped need to listen to more of it

http://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/2tCCiE3QkE3PGy7uMztMmo

my lists not good enough 4 u any more eh?

yours is the gold standard. I just wanted something thread specific for ongoing reference in this and fifteen other threads.

ah cool, no mind. I'll check it for sure if you're gonna be dumping from other genres and such, for sure.

not sure my goon cru cred is up but that lucci tape is really blowing me away, honestly havent loved a prev unknowns tape or album this much since isaiah rashad last yr

good recommend there

new z-ro

spent some time w/ Warm Brew, f/w it heavily ... there was one song i liked slightly less, it was a lil too fake dilla for me

good z ro song.

that z-ro is v nice

love it

good stuff. this is last year but i wasn't on ilx to post it, joe jackson 'steppin out' sample + z-ro really goes full blast on his verse

hey guys - should i post new shit by old rappers on this thread or the hip hop retirement community thread?

that thread exists?

link plz

The PJ's at Sherwood Heights: A Del Webb (TM) Hip Hop Retirement Community

anyway this is the video i was gonna post, grand daddy i.u. being grumpy over a kinda eerie diamond d. beat, i'm cool w/whatever ppl want, it's obv not very zeitgeisty but it is a new song so i'll defer

"give me some elbow room/
or go to war with a well-known goon"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84838260&feature=player_embedded&v=cuAaowLfVRU&x-yt-ts=1422327029

though i guess that could be a potential problem because like i'm sure dj quik or like e-40 are the same age-ish and ppl would probably care abt them

yeah i see no reason why this thread can't be inclusive of old rappers. a lot of interesting things that happen in rap these days involve guys after they turn 35 and fall off the mainstream radar.

Some of them might even make an album that tops Pitchfork and P&J

we've always posted old head rappers in this thread, its like one of the core values

joey badass sold 50k first week, i officially don't understand anything

wow! if you would have said 5,000 i wouldn't have batted an eye

sasha and malia pulling some strings imo

new york hungry for something, ANYTHING

yeah but it's not like there haven't been like shitloads of "i'm bringing back classic nyc shit" dudes over the past decades that flopped like crazy
