the teen zeitgeist as an orienting feature was key imo bc of course we post all kinds of rap in here but notionally the idea is that its in some way aware of whats going on in the genre, not that its limited to teen zeitgeist music ... since when have i only posted teen zeitgeist music in the threads?? thats such a dumb takeaway it pains me

if you call a thread old man rap bullshit 2017 (which is essentially what the title currently indicates) its just gonna attract old man rap bullshit which is why orienting it around music generally dismissed as disposable & ephemeral and teenage was a needed corrective, ppl want to always 'fix' the thread by adding the rap they think matters which is cool its the function of the thread but its dependent on a primary orientation being the rap that's not taken seriously (but is ultimately the driving force of the genre)

i guess boring street rap thread would be in keeping with ilx's turn to self serious "incurious revelry" (c. r|t|c who also hasnt posted since july)

I don't have a problem with the title but I agree with Deej that anything we can do to encourage the thread to engage with visceral new stuff in addition to all the expected old man stuff is really appreciated.

Would be cool if there were a way to cleave the thread into two, like a 2018 Rolling 48-Year-Old New Yorkers Staying True to the Music They've Been Making Since the '91 Thread and a 2018 Rolling Lil Pump Thread or something, since at this point those factions of ilx have grown so far apart.

Don't feel like starting an A$AP Ferg thread just to note that Plain Jane is probably the worst song in regular hip-hop radio rotation right now.

He has some corny tendencies, but I think Ferg is one of the most fascinating writers in commercial rap right now. He's writing with more autobiographical detail in his music than just about anybody else in his echelon, and I respect how even on a track like Plain Jane he continues to flesh out his family tree. After Always Strive and Prosper I feel legitimately vested in the characters he details

“Dat $tick”’s humor lives in the strange gaps between its component parts. The beat and lyrics tell one story—a story some found offensive for its use of the word “nigga.” The deadpan video goofing tells another story. Being the 85 millionth individual (or bot) to view the clip tells yet another story, one that implicates you in a sticky global web of looking.

btw, I just heard that Roy Antonio from the Huntsville duo Betta Half has died. Their 2009 album Tha Untold is a minor classic - one of the best albums that absolutely no one has listened tol. I remember ordering the cd for $5 from them back in the day and it came in one of those soft plastic sleeves, lol. It's up on the streaming services now though, so I do recommend checking it out or revisiting it. There's some quality Block Beattaz production from before they lost it on there.

Oh shit, they released a new single last year and it's low key great? It's definitely not in tune with 2018 face tat rap, but it's right up my alley nonetheless. Ugh. This makes me feel even worse.

doesnt feel like a departure from what he's done in the past, maybe a couple more random features but overall fits nicely into his catalog while improving on it a bit.

he's been knocked for having only one flow but i think he expands it a bit on here. think he goes double time on a few verses on this. always had great presence in his voice tho.

i love "changed" but haven't gotten around to the album yet

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 April 2018 20:33 (six years ago) link

i guess future released something last week? haven't seen much on it.

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 20:36 (six years ago) link

the quan is definitely a little marathon-length for me (in number of songs, not actual album length, which is under an hour), but it still feels like a great midpoint between the spastic psychedelia of thugger and future's angst. somehow that, plus the spacey production and his regretful gestures toward the past few years' career hiccups, ends up sounding like simple, basic humanity. gotta say, never thought quan would end up one of the most formalist, humanist rappers of the ones who came up in the mid-aughts

austinb, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 20:42 (six years ago) link

RHQ’s tape last year was really good too. didn’t see much talk about it

||||||||, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:10 (six years ago) link

i gave the quan a try, the marathon-ness was a little off-putting for me too, but I liked what I heard. it's crazy how much influence he's had over the ATL scene, everybody sounds like him now, from Lucci to Quavo, even Lil Durk's recent trap-ified stuff

stormzy daniels (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:14 (six years ago) link

yeah, i think he's never gotten his due since he never put out a "classic" and his output was so all over the place when he was flooding the market with tapes, but looking at the time between Tha Tour Pt. 1 and now, his imprint on the scene is undeniable.

austinb, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:20 (six years ago) link

(i also think he's ended up more influential than thugger since his style is so much less auteurist)

austinb, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:25 (six years ago) link

Hardaway is a better song though. Quan's instincts aren't as sharp as they used to be.

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:36 (six years ago) link

yeah idk, Hardaway feels like it lives and dies by its hook. Even at his most inessential on the new album (which definitely does not include Changed), Quan's stuff always feels more lived-in

yeah, im not the hugest fan of Hardaway, the hook is fine but it falls apart in the verses. i definitely don't think it's as good as Changed or something like YFN Lucci's Heartless

stormzy daniels (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:42 (six years ago) link

^^ or, speaking of Lucci, Everyday We Lit, which absolutely killed it with the quan vibe last year imo

austinb, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:44 (six years ago) link

yeah the Quan album sounds really flat and samey to me. Really screams for a "Flex" or a "Walk Thru" but there isn't a song of that caliber

Evan R, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:47 (six years ago) link

Quan's style of emotive singing is really effective when you're singing about something worth being emotional about, which I think is why "Hardaway" works. But ironically Quan himself is really indiscriminate about employing it. His voice will break like he's rapping about a fallen friend even when he's just like, rapping about routine finances

i think hardaway is closer to Lucci than Quan. It sounds an awful lot like "key to the streets" which was massive last year

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 23:54 (six years ago) link

two years ago?

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 23:54 (six years ago) link

It was still pretty big last year, at the very least. Wouldn't you say that Lucci is influenced by Quan though? Their styles of emoting are pretty similar, and Type of Way is the first song I can remember that did it like that (remember when Quan and Future were beefing because people thought he was biting Future at the time, though? lol!). His new album is a hundred times better than the new Quan is either way.

human and working on getting beer (longneck), Wednesday, 4 April 2018 07:08 (six years ago) link

Really enjoying the Cardi album. Interesting that the collabos with Kehlani and SZA are among the best tracks on the album. Why aren't there more collaborations like this between female artists - queen bee faceoffs excepted?

Somewhat surprisingly, the Lil Xan album also sounded good on a first skim.

it's sort of like the opposite of impressive to me. i would say it's very... competent

J0rdan S., Friday, 6 April 2018 21:12 (six years ago) link

It's impressive in a Fetty Wap s/t "Damn, this really does live up to the singles" kinda way. Competent is way underselling what she pulls off here.

It's not profound or anything, but it's much more personal and well-rounded than it could've been. She does a good job playing off her persona while showing there's a real human under it. Kinda works on a Bruno Mars, pure entertainment level mostly, but her performance really sells "Thru The Phone"

"Protect Your Soul" is dope

this prob goes on the wiki-entries-written-by-fans-thread:

James "Husalah" Ratliff (born May 13, 1979), is from Pittsburg, California. He began his career with the Pittsburg group the Mob Figaz, whose first album, C-Bo's Mob Figaz, was released in 1999. Like his close-friend, The Jacka,who was killed on a street corner, may he rest in peace, were part of Mob Figaz, and will go down as bay area legends.

It's not the same song, but I think it's great and it's her personality
Meek is a shouter, she's more yapping like Shante

I'm not hearing a lot of bragging about drug use these days, more sadness about being trapped in it, or being trapped in a life where it's the only escape. And guess we'll be hearing more of that. But maybe I've not been listening to the same artists, idk.

there is a throwaway line about percs in that song, but it mostly avoids those topics. i mean, it avoids those topics in favor of lots of references to gun violence, but still.

I mentioned this on another thread but 6ix9ine or tekashi 69 or whatever you want to call him is definitely paying people to ride around bushwick and east williamsburg blasting his music as loud as possible. I hear his stupid voice many times a day. I live on the 7th floor; my windows are closed; just heard him clear as a bell.

I love Roc but sometimes his stuff is mixed kinda weirdly and feels a little amateurish and Muggs is def tailoring to his minimal style but it just feels a little more coherent musically
