wow this is an honor! but hashtag does seem to be more in line with the natural evolution of crappy trends from the year before saturating the following year

on the other hand, I loved fruity swag music and hate hash tag, and that same fruity swag evolved into the gun sounds so fuck it

hashtag has been a running separate thread since the beginning of 09, it seems dumb to name another thread after it

^^^^^^

also ever since "rolling snap" the thread has been a sly commentary on the lowest common denominator rap that we all actually dig & none of us like grocery bag

J0rdan S., Friday, 31 December 2010 18:56 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh.

If I had to guess what type of sound or trend will dominate iateast early '11 I'd say weed raps. Everyone is jumping on Wiz's nuts right now, juicy j basically conceded to himself to a snoop/Redman/devin type of weed king role by linking up with Lex (watch that video of lex producing to see how much that dude smokes) and that video they made is huge and the song is about to be a street hit I think. I think wiz is about to have a moment in early '11

that's the whole point!! i.e. "rolling snap"

if crit rap means anything its stuff that is celebrated primarily by critics which isnt even remotely true of waka

most critics couldnt care less. hes not making, like, greg kot's list of the best albums of the year. hes not getting rolling stone covers. hes a street rapper who made a great album & i think deserves acclaim for that but me thinking this doesnt make him 'crit rap' just like us realizing that gucci was awesome didnt make his fanbase 'hipsters'

. im jus sayin, kelefa sanneh was trashing sage francis in the nytimes and setting the seeds for jay-z's critical reevaluation. this was a general cultural thing, ethan was just good at zingin. doesnt mean he wasnt right about the shittiness of a lot of nerd rap & he def wasnt the only one to notice

remember those ellis posts where he came back & accused ethan of biting hating on nerd rap from him? it was like whiney & contenderizer discussing hipsters, but different

at the end, he even recorded a message to my wife who really like him a lot for me that i turned into an mp3 for her, just yeah like incredibly nice and genuine...

Johnny Cheever (some dude), Thursday, 6 January 2011 23:19 (thirteen years ago) link

I once saw Fallon get stuck holding a door for a line of people in that way where you can't very well let the door go cuz it'd be rude, but you were just leaving and now you're stuck holding the door until everyone clears out? About one out of six noticed it was Fallon and tried to stop the line but it was people leaving a performance and they just got swept up.
He was always willing to talk with fans, do autographs, always really conscientious of the fact that he's just a guy, y'know? total sweetheart.

ud:

1. trillstep 2 thumbs up
buy trillstep mugs, tshirts and magnets
A new genre of music coming out of Houston, Texas. Consisting of dirty south raps with hard dance floor dubstep. Badbwoy BMc was the first to coin "trillstep" on his mix cd for Swisha House entitled "Welcome 2 Trillstep".
bmc dropped a hot new trillstep single at riddim tuesdays in houston.

i'm happy for yela and don't nec think it'll hurt him creatively, but this'll def lead to a lot of "compare the white rapper to the other white rapper" comparisons

what are the chances this is a jacked max b track

probably the same chances that lil wayne's new single was written by gillie da kid?

i dunno id believe the hook is a bite. unlike w/ gillie the kid jim jones owns all the masters to max b's pre-arrest work & rumor is hes been using unreleased max b material to fuel his own career (raps are quite obviously his tho)

the whole style of the song, that smooth stoned vibe, is totally max b-esque

I want to like that G-Side more than i do. The drums don't hit hard enough or something,

Number None, Saturday, 15 January 2011 19:32 (thirteen years ago) link

I had to listen to the G-Side again to articulate exactly why I don't like it. Like around 2003/2004 the granola Talib is that's occasionally endorsed by Jay/Yeezy street-rap dudes moved from that Jurassic 5 "I live/breathe/eat/sleep/shit hip-hop" To this post-Little Brother Stuart Smalley daily affirmations of "we worked so hard and all the critics said we couldn't make it but we were out there hustling and grinding and now... we're here." This album sounds like a total parody of that.

And compounded by the fact that the beats are completely unfunky and muted and like basically more illwave woosh than hip-hop—the same vibe as Big K.R.I.T. or Toomp but without the actual beat to anchor it. I didn't know what else to expect by some crew who samples Beach House.

& of course "street life" is classic, probably the album that best represents new orleans rap music.

nice little detail in the mix of the song "no future" by jacka

"knock you out with my left
take your life with my right"

^on that line they hard pan the words "left" and "right", cool sonic detail that you don't see enough of in rap, kicks the shit out of the supposedly "great" muddy, flat-sounding shit like the new kanye that is overpraised as great production

yeah wiz is basically a black hole for me but i dig this song

fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link

husalah's 'hustlin since the 80s'

^cosign this one, got into it about a month ago and it's one of the best rap albums i've heard in a while. some really stunning songs on it

fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link

im not sure i get the 'black hole' stuff, i know this is al's line on him too, but it seems to me hes a dude who lives or dies by the ability of the song to capture that wistful stoner vibe. his raps are straightforward, he stays in his own lane...i dont get black hole, i just get 'very safe.' when the production or hook is trash, he is. but when it works, its hard to find something to criticize. stuff like "mesmerized" -- which basically epitomizes what makes him work, IMO -- are really pretty great

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link

i mean wiz will never be a 'great rapper' to me, but he seems like a hard one to hate for the same reason

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link

he's just an incredibly stiff MC, even on his good songs. i have no problem liking songs by him ("black and yellow", that snoop song), but it's never the rapping that engages me. diddy outraps him on their song together

fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i don't hate him, but if you're gonna be so monotone you better at least have some skills. he's just kinda whatever

fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link

i dont think hes stiff at all tho! hes really good at sounding congruent & smooth, relaxed. skills isnt the point -- hes too busy stealing your girl & smoking weed to worry abt skills.

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link

rizzx, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 17:37 (thirteen years ago) link

i still say Wiz and Wale sound really alike, i thought hearing them more would make it easier to distinguish their voices from each other but more and more i'll turn on the radio and if one of them is on a song i don't immediately recognize it'll take me 5-10 seconds to figure out which it is (i think one time i actually heard Wale's "No Hands" verse and for a sec thought they did a remix of it w/ Wiz)...they both have the same basic weaknesses, wouldn't say they sound 'stiff' but that kind of straining vocal tone, like they're pushing the words out, i find really irksome, and the way they'll kind of stretch out words at the end of lines and emphasize when words don't even rhyme, like they're flaunting how sloppy their lyrics are (Wale's "problem/New Orrr-leeeens" vs. Wiz's "big faces/tayyy-lorrrr"). i haven't heard a lot of Wiz's mixtape stuff so i don't even think of him as some mellow wistful stoner, he's just this guy who sounds really uncomfortable on the mic on flashy radio songs.

some dude, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link

i think wiz is totally great on this song

hard as a markers (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link

what 'flashy radio songs'? just black & yellow? wiz's other hits are all the stoner-y stuff. (& he sounds 100% engaged on 'black & yellow'!) yeah i mean i cant disagree more w/ youre evaluation of it, & the stuff about their vocal inflections is obv subjective but to me it sounds really random. 'straining vocal tone'? i just dont hear it \oO/

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link

the admittedly small and probably unrepresentative amount of stuff i've heard that i'm basing my opinion of Wiz on: Say Yeah, Black & Yellow, the Diddy feature, Super High and Bottoms Up remixes, This Plane

some dude, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:25 (thirteen years ago) link

i dont hear 'uncomfortable on the mic' on 'say yeah' or 'black and yellow' -- if anything, he makes sure his lyrics are way straightforward so its impossible to sound anything but comfortable. he doesn't really stretch out or try tricky rhythms or rhymes, just goes for being as comprehensible as possible

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link

i mean, i guess if you have some kind of pavlovian thing w/ the tone of his voice theres nothing really to argue about here tho

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link

i can hear the stiff thing -- his rapping is def very measured & stilted, but that doesn't really bother me at all

hard as a markers (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:29 (thirteen years ago) link

the way i see it, most rappers worth listening to either have a really natural or appealing vocal tone and just sound good on records in an effortless way, and if they don't they work hard enough at technique and lyrics to make up for it, and imo wiz has neither.

some dude, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 18:45 (thirteen years ago) link

otm^^

fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link

i guess for me that feels too restrictive, or gives working 'hard enough at technique' too much credit. his personality comes thru effectively & i think hes totally competent from a technical standpoint, its just that he doesnt have much to say that feels like a real limitation. w/in his narrow band, i think hes got some great songs tho.

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link

he's competent, sure, just not more than that imo. what is his personality? rapper guy who likes to smoke weed? does he have a sense of humor?

some dude, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:33 (thirteen years ago) link

having watched how high yesterday i am p certain that smoking weed and having a sense of humour are in no way connected

Wiz is more like the coolest dude ever, all the chicks dig him, I bet he does that stupid laugh in every song to please em. Chicks totally dig that...I don´t think that´s for the dudes right

rizzx, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah characterizing him as affable funny dude/stoner type like seth rogen or something isn't really right -- he's definitely more of a "all the women wanna be with him and all the men wanna be him" type which is an archetype that i would think is more aligned w/ being a huge pop star than some afroman type persona

hard as a markers (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i'd be willing to accept him as the bret michaels of rap

some dude, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link

yah im not sure where we started thinking he was a cut-up or something, hes def a cool guy who chicks are into.

the personality that comes thru in his rapping is basically that? like i said its a narrow band but it feels honest & uh lived in.

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:12 (thirteen years ago) link

wale could use that kind of focus

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:13 (thirteen years ago) link

or consistency

*gets the power* (deej), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:13 (thirteen years ago) link

wale is definitely the gnarly sorta dude who doesn't seem believable in that role

hard as a markers (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:16 (thirteen years ago) link

wale definitely comes across more smug and more into shit that's harder to relate to than chilling and getting high but i don't know if he lacks some kind of focus wiz has. i only brought up humor because wiz seems so unserious and lighthearted buti've never heard him even attempt to say something funny.

some dude, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 20:16 (thirteen years ago) link

i think the difference b/w the two is one has talents more geared towards pop stardom than the other does

i think i am loving purgatory, but i overrated fuck shit when i first heard it too so... idk. it's better, though. i'm excited about alley boy. appreciate that he's a solid knucklehead southern dude w/ a good voice, i like his accent & how it sounds like there's a big gob of spit swashing around in his mouth. reliably goin hard every verse

Is there anything else in this seeming mini-genre of rap vets going over kind of low-key beats?

I'm getting this vibe from the Fiend tape, and definitely from "Marcberg" and "Everything's Berri." Maybe the Pilot Talk albums--but not quite. Precursors might be the GZA/Muggs Grandmasters project and Prodigy's "Return of the Mac."

President Keyes, Wednesday, 26 January 2011 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link

prodigy's feels diff to me cuz alchemist is a lil too showy to be consider 'low key', and stuff like 'mac 10 handle' is a classic break, 'new york shit' was out & out extroverted, but yeah otherwise im w/ you that this is an interesting direction / grouping for these artists ...

it is guns though, rule of thumb: if you don't know what rappers are talking about it's usually guns or some weird kind of expensive car you have never heard of (i had to ask about mullener cuz of the clipse once)

also if a rapper ever say "i got the [something] on me", it's a gun like 95 percent of the time

mullener is some super expensive mercedes mod or something

hope thsi doesn't get me crucified but not really heavily feeling the new Mystikal. guess I was hoping for a track when he was unbridled and out of control with his flow like on "Let's Get Ready". his voice still sounds good but it was more restrained, and while that's not inherently bad, not sure it works w/ this track.

will see if it grows on me tho.

trae. to me, his voice always sounded flimsy and maybe sorta affected compared to everyone else he rapped beside. a bit too rough and a bit motionless, if that makes sense, like he was always circling back in on himself. all the nostalgic slowed down raps he uses, i always think i'd rather listen to the original. he doesn't stand up to that stuff.

Lil B can rap his ass off when he wants to but much more importantly than that, he has a personality, which, as far as I can tell, Young L doesn't. Even when B is just fucking around, he can get by on character, but Young L doesn't have that kind of fallback.

banjee trillness (The Reverend), Tuesday, 8 February 2011 08:25 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah -- i mean i think he has a personality, tho certainly it's much more conventional than b's

i think a lot of the success of l's music is derived from the interplay b/w insane beats/affected amateurishness of the rapping -- there's also a youthful lightheartedness & playfulness to his most based raps that i dig

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 08:32 (thirteen years ago) link

i have no idea what the thought process behind his rapping is, but it seems to me like that contradiction is purposeful -- you have these beats w/ sounds shooting off everywhere & bass grinding like crazy and instead of trying to match that you have a dude w/ this flagrant sing-song flow over the top -- idk it works for me

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 08:35 (thirteen years ago) link

i dunno. his flow on overdrive and a lot of other places isn't that unconventional to me. it doesn't sound like it's some practiced broken rap/not interested in sounding like a rapper thing. sounds like dumb offbeat styles p mixtape stuff with postgunsounds punchlines. it's hard to explain exactly why it comes off as a certain type of superconventional to me but it does.

hm not sure i see the point you're trying to make here, i only know him from beats on pack albums & tapes and his young len tape from last year. beats on pack stuff are more involved & also those dudes have a lot of charisma & i like the really minimalist stuff on l-e-n but i found it was a bit sparing w/o more involved raps (as did u iirc), i like that this beat has got all sorts of things going on & because of that i think the whatever it is the raps are lacking in, i don't find myself missing it as much

"fall for your type" is like...the most #based love song i've ever heard.

you are an ocean's breeze, i am the tidal wave
you every paragraph, i'm just the title page
you have the heart i hold exactly where you desire it
it's all so effortless, like what you did to acquire it
each time i find it harder just to keep my composure
i'm tryna show you all of me, like indecent exposure
look - i'll be the gun, you be my holster
i need your love, i need you closer
seems like forever when only an hour's passed
we fallin slower than grains of salt in an hourglass
emotions runnin wild, you are who tamed them
my only means for tranquillity, you my sanctum
and if i could, i'd take your eyes and make em blend in with the stars
so whenever we ain't together, i'd still see them from afar
but that's insane, i'd do whatever just to feel you
even all of that don't come close to what i will do
they say love holds the power to fulfil you, heal you, kill you
hurt and abuse you, take away from what you used to
i'm tryna paint a picture like the canvas blank
to try to put words together like a scrabble game

fuck em, let em hate, we're what they never was
and fuckin shakespeare couldn't've wrote a better love
but people tell me that i'm trippin, i say you different
and when they ask me how, i can't provide a description
you don't need one; i would disconnect them all like a broken joint
just to prove i only see you like a focal point
i know that the distances may cause some complications
but you make me feel good, fucked up, exonerated
still i wonder what you like beneath the shackles that you wearing
i've been longing to release you from a load that's overbearing
tell me, are you protected by your god, boo
or could i blow and make it fall like cards do
and i ain't interested til it involves you
you got your doors locked and i just sawed through
you reached the height of loneliness cuz we all do

"make it raee'n" is neither based nor a love song

this is for them girls that like them other girls back

now she on my tip, she on my clit, she on my genitals
lookin for that bread though, red lobster dinner roll
made her cum maximum, head game pinnacle
show that ass a method to make that pussy cum quick
i wrap my tongue across it like fez get hit by a drumstick
okay, that's enough, i'm a beast and you're in a wild zone
did it once, now she hung up on it like a dial tone
i be on some other shit, i'm just givin yall a peek
you can catch me at the club lookin for a superfreak
imma make it rain bitch, not money or no change bitch
pipe broke, plumber called, imma be your drainage
so tell me how you want it babe, tell me all you want is haze
get this face then get erased and get your ass up out my place
and this is not a joke, i don't play no fuckin games

"6'7" freestyle

verbally destructive, i'm spitting and it's a whirlwind
outside of my box i'm fitting to put the world in
you do not add up, don't think you can do the math, stupid
we are not the same, equal sign with a slash through it
walk up in the spot, the hoes scream til they throat is gone
like i'm not human, like i got two extra chromosomes
pull up in that new shit, they get they ford focus on
all these kids follow me, i get my hocus pocus on
don't know what to call me, super fuckin dope or something
i'm killin them niggas, i must be the shit they chokin on
if they copy a style i must be the one they quotin from
nasty bar flow, i get nutty when it's crunch time
eat the best of everything like cuttin in a lunch line
beat her ass bitches, no they don't want the beef or nothin
pull they eyes out they sockets, they don't gotta see me stuntin
whole fuckin wolf, i ain't posin like i'm a sheep or nothin
hanging outside of they door like a reefer something
you bust shots, i got an army ??
that'll put the heat into his chests like lebron and dwayne
niggas call me haze horus, there is only one i
getting closer to them pussies like the top of the tie

"power" freestyle. j0rdan how the hell did you manage to transcribe all those gucci lyrics, i kind of hate this, so many gaps doing my head in

i'm taking something real real good, doing something bad to it
listening to my own music, driving something fast to it
i know that these haters listen, this shit is their ???
drink up, swallow, suck my dick and don't you gag to it
i be on that other shit, they be on my fuckin clit
i bet i take that ball, take that shot and never fuckin miss
yes i am the best, yes i know and yes i rub it in
i'm ready for my deal but first give me my publishing
who you know did it in a ??? no discovery
left the track in critical condition, no recovery
who you know 19 runnin with a better rep
walking through them clouds and i ain't even been to heaven yet
dammit i'm good i ain't finished getting better yet
when i'm gon stop, huh? never was a better guess
i mean i'm better left, i mean i'm better bright
i say i'm fucking ??? that means i'm out of sight
i mean i get it in, and you just get in line
you say i ain't the best, you must be out your mind
don't even waste your time comin for my throne ho
you steppin on what's mine and i ain't even grown ho
mind stay ill, psychiatric zone ho
couldn't get a better me if you had a fuckin clone ho
filthy mind bastard, dirty mind asshole
headed for the top, even runnin through the cash toll
still getting better, why the fuck you still amazed
said fuck friends, since then i haven't been betrayed
i write the fuckin book and still got the time to illustrate
best rookie in the game, ??? dennis quaid
how can it get better, someone gotta let me know
let me fuckin spit and watch the world might make the letter o
yeah bitch angel haze i'm for real fly
never fuck with ?? catch me with a real guy
jab at who i want to, take a stab at who i want to
it's the metaphor olympics, run a lap round who i want to

last one, another completely #based love song "there goes my baby"

you are the songs that i write with my wrongs
the calm inside of the riots and storms
stand here in the centre of divinity
while i rehearse the role of forever, infinity
action, i began relishing the moment
discarding my reality, imagining components
fracturing mentalities and casualties spoken
??? you the omen
and i'm just broken by the sight of you
i climb your mental mountains til i reach the very height of you
excessive intellect - super head
if they fly, we flew - sudafed
dear respiration, please let me breathe
take my good intentions and never let em leave
i'm the warrior, you the war worth fighting
racing for your heart, i dash - hyphen
you the perfect piece, my only consummation
i will force close the widespread legs of separation
visually perceptive, in you i see the most
i wrote this without spaces, i'm tryna keep us close
heard the sun used tongue when he kissed your face
then eclipse, cuz the moon fought to take his place
heard gravity exits whenever you enter
cuz baby you colder than 17 winters
now open up your eyes, i'm tryna fall inside
then trip into your soul and stay there for my life
yeah, this shit is perfect like it fits right
i'm for real, man it hit me harder than a fistfight

my crimson stain, i still see you lucidly
if beauty's in the eye of the beholder then what does beauty see?
blind eyes close, no staring in your presence
deaf eardrums still could hear your essence
the dumb spoke of your beauty in sign language
it's amazing how good it can be described, ain't it?
my mind framed it, your visage painted
if i looked away, my vision's tainted
this my weaker part, it's my deeper art
emotions on blast, turned up, my speaker heart
love is the language that i'm speakin fluently
i'm teaching it to you since it's only meant for you and me
and if ever i'm lost i'll let your compass guide me
cuz you're the only one who ever raised the sun inside me
they tell me do it for my soul, no questing
til i can't breathe, nasal congestion
you'll never miss a kiss, i'm like a puffer fish
always on top of my words like an upper lip
i wanna be the poetry that spills from your brains
the thought that remains, the blood in your veins
you hold a price on my head like a contract chase
you hold everything i see like a contact case
if haters wanna watch tell em order ???
make an ordinary girl feel like a borderline angel
snatch it from my chest and take it with you when you leave me
take my lungs too, so you literally breathe me
i can hear the heavens singing like christmas carols
bullets for thoughts, spinning like pistol barrels
i can't keep you to myself, i wanna let you shine
i would melt into your body until we are entwined
i just wanna see you smile from your soul
directly in the mirrors of these eyes that i hold

NYCNative, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link

that p4k thing read rly awkwardly, like an encyclopedia entry about the rituals of a remote civilization or something. i can see why he's a popular writer for ppl still hesitant abt gangsta rap tho. that juicy j tape is so great. lex luger is a p great producer but it's absurd that he has a critical profile while drumma boi & zaytoven remain unknowns -- p sure this opinion is str8 plagiarism (deej maybe) but it deserves to be restated

flopson, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link

yes, also because drumma boy has had many more high profile tracks than "hard in da paint"/"bmf", at least in terms of charts & all that -- i think both big lex beats are epically good, but i'm not sure why the rap world/other rappers latched onto them so hard (in terms of freestyles & stuff)

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 February 2011 20:27 (thirteen years ago) link

also drumma is probably the most diverse producer in the south

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 February 2011 20:28 (thirteen years ago) link

like, dude has more crossover r&b hits than bangladesh & tho he's no polow in terms of diversity (i.e. couldn't see drumma doing singles for fergie) his body of work is arguably stronger, & it certainly is from a rap standpoint

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 February 2011 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link

Drumma has so many jams, and so many that aren't Gucci.

definitely ridic for Luger to have the profile he does when you think of the great producers with more impressive resumes who've never had that kinda name recognition.

we cover a little anime but not much, obv rpgs, but yeah honestly i had limited time and i'm trying to write for a p mass audience that doesn't know anything about the soulja boy stuff, also, like when i actually got on the phone with him i was pretty in awe, just hearing his voice and stuff. i wouldn't have the balls to ask him stuff like that tbh

he was very nice and very responsive to all my emails, the whole thing only took like a day to set up and get done.

the tity boi tape is just ok these were the good tracks off it imo & the rest was p bad, he's not an interesting rapper by any measure and a lot of it just falls flat but some of the beats go hard and he is just knuckleheaded enough to pull it off but not mean enough, just not ~believable~ idk. track called "dj drama checks in" was automatically deleted off my hardrive. he is a surprisingly effective loverman rapper tho & the beat on 'feeling you' is great corny studio jams. actually think he sounds better on the smoover production of the second half than on harder & more generic trap shit, would basically keep these & the entire second half of the tape... feel i have come around to it since i started this post lol

pop the s1ock (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 27 February 2011 07:15 (thirteen years ago) link

(please excuse my attempts at transcribing a twista verse)

mr lucci

taxi down the runway
we have just been cleared for take off
shots of patron and the purple zone
i'm so high i just can't shake it off
i kinda feel like i'ma pass out
i ain't even flickin my ash out
lil chick ridin w/ me, talk too much
i kinda wanna put her ass out
but i kinda wanna beat that bad guy
i'ma chill, i ain't really gonna act out
if she don't shut the fuck up, i'm send her in the store
and dip before the bitch comes back out
but the bitch went half on the O.Z.
and the bitch big brother is a O.G.
i'ma play how it goes, y'all niggas ain't slow
y'all motherfuckers out there know me
but i'm so high off the irene
i damn near can't see my screen, i just lean
while these motherfuckers just keep flashing their high beams
oh shit that's me with the high beams
i'm trippin, i know i heard a sireen
maybe i didn't, maybe i did
maybe i'm a fiend
i'm so high i can't feel my face, maybe it's a dream
maybe it's the xany bars, maybe it's the lean
maybe it's the grey goose, shawty
maybe it's the bean
i know for sho, they hit with that dro
that fruity, oooowee

twista

gone off of the 'tron
there go the twista, and we talk about ooowee
high, cuz i'm sippin on the bubble and smokin on the bubble
so they say you lookin like you sleep
eyes red, constant cough
smoke that fire like a mobster boss
?????? but i'm smokin on the dro
so i can't remember how i started off
gon get the bone, with the backwood
i hit it and i spit it till the track good
got no change & you goin thru a thang
can't wash away the pain but a sack could
so i'm blowin on the dro in a mercedes benz
paranoid, lookin at my shady friends
go look up in the air, way way over there
i swear i saw ??? fulla aliens

**i'm low cuz i hit that dro
say you got zones of purple kush, what they hittin fo
lil mama say she wanna pull, what if i let ya blow
if you hit this, i'ma hit that, i gotta let you know
or let you go**

??? too much green, i'm a nigga on lean and i'm in some major shit
puff too much dro now i'm layin on the flo, look at what bohagon did
he the one that gave me it
the shit so fire he ???? the crib
now i'm off jack frost, bohagon shoulda told me
twist is dangerous

bohagon

drank, dro, two bars w/ a bitch
about, cigarillos in a car, no tints
paint my picture, but i ain't gon trip
i'm headed to get the money from the graveyard shift
late night coastin
635 on the highway, high, eyes halfway open
each ride w/ me say it's great to the weed
can i please put it out? nah bitch i'm smokin
leave me alone
just hold your breath and die if you don't wanna breathe this foam
cuz nothing inside this car belongs to you, but dawg
i'm feelin a little unusual
swervin out cuz i'm pervin now
bought me a four stub, gave me a eight
plus the O.G. got me purpled out, i'm perfect now
i'm loaded, put the weed in the ass
can you shake that fast for a crook named crash
i'm dozin, 150 on the dash
bohagon in the lab w/ a jack frost bag
they holdin, seen the law just pass
and they bust quick you, and now they comin right back
cuz they rollin, i ain't got time for that
i got cess, got strapped in ????
stay focused, i ain't got time to catch no case
cuz we too god for me to just waste
plus i got warrants i ain't in a mood for no high speed chase
so i just say, fuck it
slow on down and pull on over to the shoulder
light my doja, kept on smokin
when they got closer, i just simply told em

"the whole album - once upon a time in america - is great stuff"

Absolutely, good luck getting a physical of either. Lifes a 50/50 is basically impossible (as it was never officially released), and Once Upon A Time goes for a steep price. Both are dead good. Because it was my entry point for these two, I'll always have love for the Hall and Oates flipped 'My Crew Cant Go For That', which I got from the Nutty Professor soundtrack in 96:

posted about this dude two days ago & just saw this linked on rnt. one of my favourite mixtapes of the year, these kids are insanely creative w/ production, some of which is breathtaking, beautiful. lots of delay & cut up vocal loops, and huge bass. i could see this getting big but i'm not sure if there's room for another group of kids making inspired rap music in a world w/ lil b & odd future

Back on topic... I've really been digging Squadda B's tape after track 5 at least and the first half of the recent Young L tape, it goes a bit shit by the second but this is mixtape land so its expected.

Been feeling that Squadda B a little. The bass is yanked on the mix, dig that.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 4 March 2011 00:10 (thirteen years ago) link

these are my favourites in rough order of the tapes i've heard from the big list tpp posted w/ some others that weren't on it. i usually have a hard time keeping up w/ rap releases but i guess i've got a lot of spare time lately because i've heard most of them

yg hootie - flight to the motherland (weird that this is my favourite/most listened to bc in some ways it is kind of weak, but he's a really interesting rapper and i keep coming back to it)
raekwon - shaolin vs wu tang
squadda b - i smoke because i don't care about life
waka flocka flame - salute me or shoot me 3
killa kyleon - candy paint texas plates
gunplay - inglorious bastard
juicy j - rubber band business (thought this was last year)
young l - domo kun
mouse on tha track - swagga fresh freddie
travis porter - music money magnums
tity boy - codeine cowboy

some others i listened to briefly & didn't stick (trae, young dro) but might revisit. avoided gucci 2 times, still haven't gotten around to roach gigz, bricksquad, fiend, lil b

one song i wanted to share from that yg hootie tape is this one yg hootie - west hattnin which contains the perplexing lyric "i'm just licking and i'm gliding and i'm riding on the pussy niggas/i'm in the club on point & all my boys on point, we gone lick yo ass funk." so lol how it seemingly unknowingly pushes generic homophobia into a bizarelly aggressive threat to lick some dude's ass

approximate rhymes are plentiful and inevitable in rap and are often inoffensive or even clever and creative. and sometimes they're really dumb, and the rapper chooses to beat you over the head with it by opening a verse with one.

flopson, Sunday, 6 March 2011 19:20 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah I've heard it. have you?

Based on first impressions it seems good, solid. It's got that sound that makes those online wu stans wet themselves, if you go over to the wu corp forum you'll know what I mean. I haven't really listened all the way through properly, I keep coming back to Snake Pond, From The Hills, Molasses, Last trip to Scotland. It could've been more adventurous, but it seems a cohesive album (except rock n roll), I think Rae still got it on the mic though.

historyyy (prettylikealaindelon), Sunday, 6 March 2011 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i posted some on your anticipation thread Anticipate Raekwon - Shaolin vs. Wu Tang but i listened to it a lot this week & now think it's incredible. know what u mean, it's weird i remember after first getting so into 36 chambers & going into the solo stuff being disappointed at how so much wasn't as raw production-wise. i got over it & enjoyed a lot of great music as a result, but i would have flipped hearing this back then

also choppa choppa down remix if that counts since the video just dropped

the lucci / bohagan / twista track is cool but comparing it to 'rollin rollin rollin' was bonkers imo

'roll up' sounds like a hit to me too, its def a catchier song than any of the other shit hes dropped since 'black & yellow" although its not nearly as good as black & yellow

did you ever do a new local baltimore rappers you like mixtape?

if so, could you post the think?

thank you in advance :)

gr8080 sings the blues (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 14 March 2011 19:32 (thirteen years ago) link

nah i mean -- i've done stuff here or there, kind of compiling favorite songs or once i did an all-Baltimore playlist for an Idolator year-end feature, but mostly i just stick to scattered blogging/freelancing about whatever local rap i'm into, it would just be a slippery slope as far as getting into any kind of mixtape-making where i wouldn't do it unless i got really serious about it and produced beats or A&R'd exclusive material or whatever. but i did put up 20 mp3s from my 20 favorite releases of 2010 a while back, linked to it on the year-end goon poll thread: http://governmentnames.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-20-baltimore-hip-hop-releases-of.html

really feelin "on some other shit" & "shadow of death" off black hippy. former reminds me of the cuts w/ dilated peoples & medaphoar & oh no on the first lootpack album the way the verses trade off abruptly & come in w/ these weird flows (black hippy, that's all i need to get busy/turn your music to a frisbee then make your bitch frisk me). can't say i f/w most of the rest though, had to skip thru quite a few verses

"When we first met, we really didn't talk about doing business; we talked about music the whole time," says Danny of what endeared him to Fool's Gold. "That was the illest thing to me, because I sat down with a lot of labels and all we were talking about was, 'How can we make this project work?' and this and that. Fool's Gold was all about being fans of music, and 'How can we make Danny Brown better?' I didn't know they were such huge hip-hop nerds. A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, you think of dance music, but they're real knowledgeable with everything."

"Fool's Gold is thrilled to bring Danny Brown into our family," says A-Trak. "We've been supporting his music on our blog for a long time, so we're fans of his before anything else. Danny Brown represents a return to raw, gritty rap. His skills can't be questioned. He sounds and looks like no one out there, and that's something that appeals to us. We share the same grassroots values, and we can't wait to get behind his new album!" Stay tuned for more details on Danny's inaugural Fool's Gold release.

deej listens to the new baby bash:

1) zzz ('intro')
2) zzz ('swanananana') generic 00s beat w/ sirens & lil jon synths, generic 'foreign' vocal hook
3) zzz ('go girl') feat e-40
4) ('hit me (bbm me)')ok this is kind of lol, quirky pop bullshit best track so far
5) zzz ('kick rocks') fake dr dre
6) ('body moves slow') not good but kinda weird, feat. krizz kaliko & paul wall, i dunno, kinda random & interesting i guess but not something ill bump again
7) zzz ('dont mess with texas') i dont know enough spm to know if this is an old verse, but if not, wtf, how is he out of jail? and what does baby beesh have to do w/ texas.
8) zzz ('woyyoy') another fake dre beat, Jacka does the hook -- Dre should have used him for hooks on detox. as usual w/ jacka features his verse is all i like about the track & its not even that good
9) ('best in the bedroom') this song is totally lol, cant hate on this really, fun corny baby bash music, beat still feels cheap (as all of these do) but they do some creative stuff w/ some cheap sounds
10) ('good for the money') features lloyd, his hook is pretty solid, dont like the AYYYY the-dream style part of it tho. this is barely a rap song
11) zzz ('roller coaster ride') fake atl bass track, not v good
12) ('head hunter') Z-Ro feature, sounds like a z-ro beat. like most of the songs on this lp its about boning. nice in theory, if you dont step back & think about it, but i cant imagine listening to this again.
13) zzz ('hope i dont violate') another fake dre beat that sounds like a game lp reject
14) ('buttakup') if you are cool with cheesy baby bash songs (which the best ones are) then this is cool
15) ('fantasy girl') ditto 14
16) ('buttakup remix') did you say you wanted to hear chalie boy rapping over 'buttakup'? yes? here you are
17) ('go girl (dance remix)') this is actually much better than the original

overall, 5/10

sort of a combo, was interesting to record in a non-band context...basically he sent me the track in parts w/o vox and then with vox, i worked up a verse, chorus, and bridge part....went down to the studio and he just had me play it about 5 times straight through, just ignoring if i made mistakes etc....then he had me play about three times just doing little improv fills and stuff....the end product i think the verses and chorus are basically "live takes" but from whatever of the original takes was the best, then i can hear when he edited in little one-bar fills that i did in the improv takes at certain points....then certain parts he cuts out the bass for a bar here and there...

he showed me how he does everything, like USB turntable hooked into 2 MPCs and how he makes loops and chops up samples and stuff like that, then "plays" them on the MPC...all very cool to see a hip hop process and how it works...

one thing that was confirmed to me is that musicians who say "oh i could do that, it's just sampling people's music" is obv bullshit, there's a lot of stuff that goes into it...jess also said it's getting pretty hard to find "loops" anymore cuz everything has been used so much, you really have to chop samples up and reconfigure stuff....

Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 25 March 2011 18:25 (thirteen years ago) link

another cool thing that never occured to me:

some stuff that sounds like a drum loop sample is actually totally played by the producer...he showed me how he will actually get specific snare, cymbal, and bass hits from, say a jazz record that he likes the sound of, then assign those specific hits to MPC pads, so you are basically just making a drum machine beat, but the sounds are "real" from a record...i spose lots of dudes do that but whenever i hear "live" sounding drums i always assume it's a loop

SHAD WINS JUNO AWARD FOR TSOL
BEATS OUT DRAKE FOR RAP RECORDING OF THE YEAR, RELEASES NEW SONG

Vancouver based MC Shad, whose TSOL album was met with almost universal acclaim in hip hop circles upon its release by Decon/Black Box Recordings last year, unexpectedly beat out fellow countryman Drake for "Rap Recording of the Year" at Saturday's Juno awards, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys. Though the record was a favorite amongst fans and critics alike, most considered Drake a shoo-in after taking the award home last year. In his acceptance speech the clearly dumbfounded Shad remarked "Wow, I'm very surprised. It's like the Emmy going to Theo's friend Cockroach," in a telling display of the humility and cultural cross-referencing that have long been the hallmarks of his work.

Shad took to his blog Monday afternoon to pen a thank you note to his fans and release a new collaborative single with Skratch Bastid, the joyous and smooth soul of "Give You All I Can".

whole album's awesome IMO. certainly not what I expected when I picked it up (I was just looking for listenable).

San Te, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link

so on first listen Doggumentary is very bloated as usual, lots of fun hot tracks quite a few 'meh' tracks, think a solid 3.5 stars out of 5 is what I'd give it cuz the solid tracks are pretty damn entertaining. the Willie Nelson track is just....weird. don't dig it.

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 05:41 (thirteen years ago) link

J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2011 05:42 (thirteen years ago) link

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 05:48 (thirteen years ago) link

Im curious what rappers the gun sounds cru would consider their personal GOAT's 2005-2010

its a period where there doesnt feel like much of a heirarchy has been canonized

my top 3 are easy in no order -- boosie, jacka, gucci

past that it gets a lil confusing. z-ro & t.i. would be up there but my favorite stuff from each came prior to 2005. killer mike, young dro & max b are next in line for me. not sure who else i'd consider

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 05:54 (thirteen years ago) link

idk i think there is some sorta hierarchy in some regard -- a large swath of ppl would throw wayne & ye up there to start

J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2011 05:58 (thirteen years ago) link

wayne is another one i (obv) def think peaked prior to '05

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 05:58 (thirteen years ago) link

mine would prob be

1. gucci
2. wayne
3. kanye
4. boosie
5. jeezy

something like that

J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2011 05:59 (thirteen years ago) link

maybe freeway or styles p if i want to get my some dude on

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 05:59 (thirteen years ago) link

'best thang smokin' would be in my top 5 albums from that period, but dro's output of music pales in comparison to those guys unfortunately

J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2011 06:00 (thirteen years ago) link

but yeah there's a lot of artists that straddle that line -- t.i., wayne, kanye, the clipse

J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2011 06:01 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah currensy, husalah & Dro are in the same boat, where their style is really strong but for different reasons it doesnt feel like they quite have the complete picture (currensy has the style but is almost entirely escapist ... hus dropped a classic but spent most of his time in this period in prison & the 'classic' was cobbled together from pre-recorded verses ... Dro released one defining record, then basically stopped developing & just sorta treaded water off of it)

as a stylist i like killer mike the least of all four, but he has the more consistent quality releases amazingly

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 06:06 (thirteen years ago) link

how effing impossible would it be to do a top 5 for 2000-2005

fwiw it is something that has *just* started to really build -- he was releasing stuff since '05 but that stuff wasnt resonating w/ a wider cult til the last couple years

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link

well if it's still building and you're projecting where it will/could/should be then yeah let's leave it at that

dayo technology (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:09 (thirteen years ago) link

imo that is what ship is talking about -- hes a significant rapper w/ a very novel style relative to basically any other post-05 east coast rapper.

we're all 'projecting' but imo on an artistic level, the last 5 years of his music -- regardless of its following at that time -- would qualify him

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:10 (thirteen years ago) link

i thought he was talking about new york not producing a new rapper since 50 that was at any point one of the 5 or 10 most famous rappers in america at any point

i mean if we were having this convo in '09 before you actually got heavy into Max B and surfboard was making the argument you're making you know you wouldn't be backing him up

dayo technology (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link

i def wouldnt but i wasnt really familiar w/ his catalog; imo hes got the range

i mean my 'thing' is sorta arguing that the kind of grassroots popular social energy is in someway tied to aesthetic novelty of a rapper's style or music so i agree im projecting but thats where that is coming from -- obv max hasnt been / prob still isnt one of the ten most popular rappers in america (although i do think his influence on rappers has been larger, i.e. wiz khalifa-- which to answer matt's q, i think soulja boy is channelling max via wiz)

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link

maybe i should say that, while its weird ny hasnt produced a major national rapper in so long, i agree, but that max does stand out at another level relative to his region & there isnt really a comparable figure -- like, hes def a notch or fifteen more successful than red cafe / saigon / papoose etc

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i mean the "new rapper of serious consequence" terms i opened the convo with were specifically thinking of who gets deemed important across the board, from the man on the street to corny MTV power ranking things, not just who has a decent-sized cult and some dope mixtapes.

yeah im with this although w/ the caveat that i would argue from an artistic perspective its not just that he has dope mixtapes but represents a pretty radical shift for ny aesthetically, one that opens it up more to the rest of the country by embracing west coast / bone thugs style melodicism & a more pac-style 'street prophet' persona that works, aesthetically, and that i get the sense that his grassroots success *means something* for ny in a way that freeway having some consistent tapes in the past 5 years doesnt for philly. or another comparison would be, like, jeezy vs killer mike in atlanta; one signified a radical aesthetic shift (albeit one more influential than max's, so far) while the other just made some really dope tapes (& i prefer mike but im just saying)

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link

dayo technology (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link

i think a key sign that we are i a post-regional rap era is that 'regional' artists a la max b are incorporating the sounds & styles of other regions, & this also goes for the mob figaz in the bay. or even freddie gibbs conglomeration of random midwest/rap-a-lot mid 90s gangsta rap motifs that sound simultaneously local but as if they could have come from everywhere (nb i think this is a knock against him) or the way e-40 has transformed a strain of 'hyphy' from a 'regional sound' to e-40's personal house style (& mutated it on its own)

idk i guess most rap right now feels unconcerned about repping its city's 'sound' is what im saying?

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah that's definitely true. i mean a huge amount of atlanta rap or bay area rap still is very much of its region but it feels less like a deliberate aesthetic branding

dayo technology (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link

& if anything widespread exportation of atlanta style production makes it feel less tied down geographically

yeah so much sounds like it's from the south now, that shit really took over

in my world of loose geirs (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:53 (thirteen years ago) link

i think part of it is def that as the music industry & the radio has become less and less accepting to rap music as well as rap music of different styles, that you've had rappers just trying to trend hop as much as possible which really concentrates the kind of sounds that you hear -- this is very evident right now with lex luger, both in the sense that tons of rappers want his beats & that, as he relayed in that anecdote about chingy, that ppl are specifically saying "give me that 'bmf' type beat" -- so even tho you have a very successful producer, a lot of rappers are less open to letting them in particular stretch their legs & diversify their sounds in a way that, say, the neptunes were able to do

and the other side of that is now ppl like bob & wiz & nicki & to a lesser extent wale are blowing up primarily with songs not produced by ppl that even do rap music

J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2011 22:01 (thirteen years ago) link

my point about lex luger i think can be seen, tho less transparently, in the way that bangladesh kept using that same snare sound from "a milli" over & over

kl0p's son (k3vin k.), Friday, 1 April 2011 22:50 (thirteen years ago) link

i think it's a biiiiig stretch to tie Lex Luger or Bangladesh feeling pressured by artists/the industry to provide their signature sound into the current climate -- shit has been that way for a LONG time and Neptunes were as guilty as anyone of rubber-stamping the same style for a year or two straight, they just stayed big long enough to have a whole lot of styles

dayo technology (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:37 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah mean every producer has always had a trademark style

but i think the AL is right about the neptunes, cuz their shit was used by everyone and it always sounded like specifically a neptunes joint regardless of where the artist was from, even right from the jump with "superthug"

Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:39 (thirteen years ago) link

i think you could say rap stars as a whole were less desperate back then, that there were producers who had more than one major hit & instead had a series of them, so a rapper could trust the producer to do his thing w/out being like "I NEED THAT 'SUPERTHUG' SOUND"

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:39 (thirteen years ago) link

also iirc the Neptunes were hot w/ superthug but it felt different ... like it wasnt until they had a series of hits that people started looking at them & connecting the dots about what they were doing

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:41 (thirteen years ago) link

lol i called some dude "The AL" for some reason wtf

no i agree, i honestly don't know if superthug made them all that famous right away, shit i thought "neptunes got a cocker spaniel" was just some wacky off the wall kool keith nonsensical line for the longest time.

Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:42 (thirteen years ago) link

also i think clipse fits in here somewhere, and timbo and missy too, being from virginia they all had that weird south/north paradox feel

Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:43 (thirteen years ago) link

it really feels like after the early 00s timbo/neptunes/Lil Jon/ whoever else that had a series of pop hits as a producer thing happened, people started anticipating it as soon as a producer showed up w/ a distinctive twist on production & ever since then its been a nightmarish series of ruined possibilities

timbo slice (D-40), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:45 (thirteen years ago) link

well yeah "Superthug" is kind of an outlier, they didn't become a brand name until they had several bigger consecutive hits (w/ something closer to their 'signature sound') about 2 years later (xpost

dayo technology (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:45 (thirteen years ago) link

i might be wrong about that & there are probably some contradictions in there im just throwing it out there

kl0pson (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:51 (thirteen years ago) link

that is, compared to something like "superthug" or "a milli" that made a lot of its impact virtue of sounding like pretty much nothing else on the radio

kl0pson (some dude), Friday, 1 April 2011 23:52 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm not saying that lex or bangladesh feel pressured but that specific artists are specifically looking for "a beat that sounds like x hit" as opposed to working organically with a producer or w/e

Every time your friend with a decent digital can and final cut pro does a video for you that goes straight to youtube, it does need a pretentious "street cinema productions presents" logo at the beginning and a 2 minute intro of dialogue setting the scene for your groundbreaking clip of you rapping in your car and in a club with some models.

duct tape ent is alley boy's crew -- i'm unclear as to why yung LA got it tattooed on his face, whether or not he just liked the design, or if he was trying to get in w/ them (this is what the video makes it seem like, but getting a face tat would be a pretty extreme move) -- i guess then he got word to get it altered, he said no, so alley boy & his crew jumped him

“That tattoo just comes from something in the city,” explained Yung LA. “My cousins grew up with a lot of people from Zone 6, I know a lot of people from Zone 6, and the people from Zone 6, there whole movement is called Duct Tape and I just had been really getting up with these guys. Everybody in the city from Zone 6, Zone 3, Zone 1, from Duct Tape to YGC to CDB to 30 Deep, there’s so many cliques in Atlanta and I just wanted to be the Robin Hood, I just wanted to be the guy that could have relationships with everybody in the city.”

Though his relationship with Duct Tape Entertainment, and Atlanta record label, has been disputed by Alley Boy, an artist and co-CEO at the label, Yung LA remains adamant about his affiliation.

J0rdan S., Friday, 15 April 2011 19:10 (thirteen years ago) link

D-40, Friday, 15 April 2011 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link

“He didn’t sit down with any of the heads at Duct Tape,” Alley told XXLMag.com, clarifying that LA is not signed with the imprint. “[Yung LA] aint’ get the okay from none one of us and ain’t none one of us told you nothin’ about you having nothing to do with Duct Tape. You dead wrong.”

To the casual observer, LA’s tattoo is just a duck. To Alley, the logo represents loyalty. “There are people willing to lay down their life for that logo, we’re a real close knit family,” said the Duct Tape honcho , who’s also signed to Atlantic Records as an artist.

Asked what he believes was the motivation behind the artwork, Alley said: “I guess he ran into my lil’ homies and shit, kickin’ it with them. You know they drinkin’ lean, smokin’ together…I guess he took that [as] being cool with some Duct Tape members, but they can’t tell you to go put nothin’ on your face.”

“He’s gonna have [to get] like a pendant or a star or somethin’ to cover that shit,” Alley added. “It’s like an ex-boyfriend name or somethin’, he finna get that shit covered-up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WVl98bAKPU

also the g-side album is a bit slept on - rev/rennavate and i talked about it on twitter a bit last night. think we all think the production >>>> the rapping, but the production is pretty special (the strings on "came up") and i love the overall cohesive feel of it.

also, the young dro mixtape is predictably great - this is prob my favourite track on it. HOES IN A SUMMERHOUSE IN BEIJING

I don't think the G-Side album is slept on, it just got its love from the indier sections of the internet. I don't really like it, drums don't hit hard enough or something. Funny that they flipped a Beach House sample before The Weeknd tho.

I've only heard 'Strong' from the Prodigy mixtape which apparently isn't produced by sid roams, anyway, i think whoever produced it messed up the nina simone sample - between the verses it sounds slightly awkward to me - they make a slight cut and it doesn't flow right to my ears. I'm probably just being picky fuck it.

seen devin live twice.
first show was incredible, him by his lonesome at his first NYC gig, tight quarters.
Spankrock opened and were basically booed off the stage and devin was received rapturously.
he was solo and handed out marrygwanna to everybody for like the first four songs and was basically incredible.
i got hella paranoid. it was still probably a top ten show for me.
second show was about two years ago and he did a gig with the odd squad that was less well attended at a larger venue and felt more like a standard rap gig. less w33d too.
i would recommend.

thought "80 Blocks From Tiffany's" was kind of a weird name but I guess its the title of a badass 1979 documentary:

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

"Director Gary Weis was still working as a short film creator for Saturday Night Live when he came up with the idea for80 Blocks after reading a Jon Bradshaw article, “Savage Skulls.” Published in a 1977 issue of Esquire Magazine, the piece centered on two gangs based in the South Bronx at the time — the Savage Nomads and the Savage Skulls. Weis became infatuated with the story and, soon after striking up a dialogue with Bradshaw, he convinced SNL producer Lorne Michaels to help him produce the film. Just two years later, in 1979, Weis and Bradshaw brought a camera crew to speak with members of both gangs, along with police officers, community activists, and civilians.

Despite its role as an important and unflinching portrait of a profoundly interesting time in New York’s cultural history, 80 Blocks was, for many years, impossible to find, only briefly available as an educational VHS release in 1985. In the years since its initial release, the documentary has gained an overwhelming cult status. With little to no news coverage over the decades since its release dedicated fans continued to buzz about the film. That buzz grewexponentially via the internet, which provided fans a common platform to fondly look back not only the at documentary itself, but the era that it captured so vividly."

Yah, the strength of the singles on that lp ('Coolie High'-'Luchini'-'Black Nostaljack') + 'Sparkle' lifts it to classic status, the rest is good too, but those really make it special. Good luck understanding anything their talking about though.

Their second lp had some greatness too, the funk on 'Macadame' is pretty undeniable:

i mean it's not like he looks like aaron carter, pretty much if any chubby white dude with a goatees and a blunt in his hand told me he raps i'd think "of course you do"

but then i'm going off GIS here, haven't seen him in a video or anything

youre being mad pedantic today. this argument is getting idiotic so im stepping out of it but Berner is a funny-looking weirdo who lucked into a successful career somehow & that is amusing & interesting to me, there isnt really an easily-notable precedent that i can think of & certainly hasnt been one mentioned in this thread, which is why jokes about his origins are funny

so all of the hundreds of rappers currently at Berner's career level or higher fit a certain profile or 'look like a rapper' in some basic way? that just seems like a weird idea to me.

raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:35 (twelve years ago) link

it's like saying a guy in a successful band who has short hair "doesn't look like a rock star," feels very outdated to even pretend there's some narrow criteria for looking the part anymore

the thing with berner is that he picks better beats than your favorite rapper (not assuming your favorite rapper is nas)

I checked that Death Grips out. Some interesting things going on, but I just couldn't enjoy it from a production standpoint, way too abrasive for my liking. I realize that's the point, its just too much for me. I did like the tracks; Guillotine, Takyon & Spread Eagle Across The Block, the latter sounds exactly like RZA (voice).

you'll be suprised to learn that i think elmatic by elzhi is totally awesome

i'm a fucking walking pair of Docs (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 17 May 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link

Elmatic is pretty fresh, the instrumentals are crisp and snappy, even at the low bit rate. Kind of hard to get too excited about homage albums, but this far exceeded my expectations. Some of the instrumental breakdowns are really refreshing, loving the endings of 'Lifes a Bitch,' 'The World Is Your's and 'One Love,' the latter sounds like something Isaac Hayes would have graced.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 17 May 2011 17:49 (twelve years ago) link

yeah deciding to rerecord the instrumentals with live band really makes it sing instead of just seeming like a boring mixtape, feels like an actual album

i'm not making an accusation dude, I'm trying to explain to you that the reason that several people on ilx think you're a dick is because of posts exactly like that one. it reads like you're confusing a judgment on an artist with a judgment on your opinion and then, by further extension, judgment of you personally when, in fact, I just don't like a song and it has nothing to do with you. You're not hurting my feelings either way but you should be aware that doesn't read like a "mild jest" to a lot of people, it reads like you being a dick and i'm only mentioning this because I'm coming around to your side in believing that you really _don't_ get why you rub some folks here the wrong way and trying to provide immediate concrete examples. i'm well aware not EVERYBODY feels this way, but there are a lot of people who do. and i'm not trying to be patronizing or condescending, honestly; hopefully just helpful.

honestly forks is an obvious whipping boy on this thread but i feel like he is so a) good-natured and unguarded about being the old unhip guy and b) way more open minded about actually listening to stuff outside of his usual taste range compared to how dogmatic and self-righteous a lot of people from his era/approach to hip hop that giving him shit or acting superior to him gets really boring and unnecessary at a certain point.

boring beef but

honestly forks is an obvious whipping boy on this thread but i feel like he is so a) good-natured and unguarded about being the old unhip guy and b) way more open minded about actually listening to stuff outside of his usual taste range compared to how dogmatic and self-righteous a lot of people from his era/approach to hip hop that giving him shit or acting superior to him gets really boring and unnecessary at a certain point.

"i'm liking random axe so far"

Yah, same here. Everybody Nobody Somebody is my choice cut so far, Chewbacca w Roc Marciano still might be the strongest though. Danny Brown's verse needed to be about twice as long. Guilty sounds best on stuff like this, too much of him starts to get boring as he has no passion in his delivery at all. Milk's snares still sound crisp, his production style is so herky-jerky, he definitely has his own sound.

by far. also he has nothing to do with lex luger other than being a young producer who makes beats for BSM. he's infinitely more interesting, more creative at the moment. arguably the most exciting production in hip hop right now and he's releasing a mixtape every MONTH with the most on fire rapper of the moment. i don't understand what these dumb fuck bloggers are missing

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Tuesday, 28 June 2011 03:01 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, i didn't think you did, its more personal really, when i listen to rap or dance music theres a dimension of relief from harsher production of underground rock crap i listen to otherwise to it, is what i meant

i guess old three six stuff & wu, or like biggie demos are pretty lo-fi & i love those

hi goons, I need help identifying a song - heard it on a detroit fm station

verse went something like this

"now I'm in that light spot
oops I meant to say spotlight
something something now it's fight night"

later he says "flow forensic" or "flow so forensic"

googling's not helping

any ideas?

I listened to this thing so much as a kid that my copy is scratched to fuck; didn't think about it until I was looking for something for the no hooks thread. A most underrated EP - psycho les, black star, kool g rap, pharoahe monch, organized noize, de la, coflow, common, rah digga, dead prez etc. all on a protest tip at the top of their game. Way fucking better than Self Destruction.

i compared him to pill & wale in that they're all generically "good", sometimes better, sometime worse. i guess that might be boring to some ppl, but it doesn't have to be. he doesn't strike me as anything special tho. he's never been the best part of anything that i've heard him on.

yeah jaxon this sound is pretty big in rap blog world atm, if you're into it there is a lot of it. my only gripes with it as a trend are that while i like some clams casino & squadda b beats its a bit too weak drumswise & i find strong hooks are compromised for the murky/ethereal stoner vibe. n a bd rly i just don't listen to it in large quantities. check out recent wiz khalifa output 2, if not aesthetically identical a lot of this feels like it has trickled down from that

http://www.realniggatumblr.com/post/5724666459/whats-your-opinion-on-rap-journalism-criticism-and
What’s worse is that ppl automatically assume cuz I read rap blogs and do all that dork ass shit I’m not from the hood and this whole thing an act. That’s kinda offending that you would think that somebody who grew up in the hood couldn’t possibly have the same sites bookmarked as you. Like we only go to mediatakeout and worldstar. That’s a hoe ass mentality. These bloggin ass fuckniggas lucky i can’t turn into kinetic energy and start traveling through the cable modems and shit on my superhuman cyber samurai shit. Them terry richardson opticals woulda been flyin across the room ya heard.

Fool's Gold Records will release Danny Brown's new underground opus XXX on Monday, August 15th as a free download on foolsgoldrecs.com.
The first full-length release from Danny since his acclaimed The Hybrid in 2010, XXX is a concept record about hedonism, growing up, and Detroit, taking listeners on a profane and psychedelic journey through the uncensored mind of rap's most electric MC. There's no laundry list of guest appearances or producers-for-hire, keeping the focus squarely on Danny and his rhymes: a triple stack of pop culture references and did-he-really-say-that? provocations atop the heart of a poet.
Fool's Gold and pioneering streetwear brand ALIFE will premier XXX with an invite-only event in NYC this Saturday (8/13) featuring live performances by Danny Brown, ASAP Rocky and DJ sets from Nick Catchdubs. Danny will perform alongside Action Bronson and FG label mate Party Supplies at Rockaway Beach on August 20th, and join Das Racist on their "Relax" tour throughout the USA all this fall.

is the greenberg album good y'all?

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 August 2011 16:02 (twelve years ago) link

Its short and sweet, like 20 minutes. Pretty solid overall, best when Roc Marc is rapping. Some of the beats have this murky tension to them. Def worth picking up imo, especially if you liked Marcberg.

yeah that's another good one! i think NYC stuff can still be cool, but all three of those mentioned are going at it right, like a real dusted, fucked up vibe instead of pretending that NYC is still on top, all these losers trying to be jay or 50 when that's over

it seems like it should be more freeing for ppl, like just do what you want

i might be exagerrating a bit, but yeah for some reason 2011 i just haven't been listening to much hip hop

om nom nom nnamdi asomugha (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 23:10 (twelve years ago) link

lloyd banks still having a career is routinely fascinating to me

J0rdan S., Sunday, 21 August 2011 02:33 (twelve years ago) link

pound for pound the best rapper in g-unit, glad its him and not tony yayo tbh

Lil Boosie's on the Up (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 21 August 2011 02:44 (twelve years ago) link

it makes sense in the same way as Fab still having a career imo, and he carries around a lot of the benefits of having been part of 50's crew without all the baggage of actually being 50 (xpost)

some dude, Sunday, 21 August 2011 02:46 (twelve years ago) link

yeah but fab pumped out hits for years before having a little lull. banks had like... two solo hits then took a six year break before "beamer, benz or bentley"

J0rdan S., Sunday, 21 August 2011 02:49 (twelve years ago) link

yeah i know, the momentum is different but the logic is still kind of the same, in terms of "guy who does punchlines AND has commercial instincts" being a weirdly rare money spot for east coast rappers still getting shine

some dude, Sunday, 21 August 2011 02:52 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, but Banks has always been respected as the best pure mc in the g-unit camp and one of the top younger ny rappers, and even though G-Unit isn't dominating things like they did 6 years ago they still have a pretty sizeable fanbase/following (they're pretty much the only people that bought Before I Self Destuct, for instance, which went gold iirc). Plus he's putting out solid records that cater to his core... so it's not that surprising, really.

my own private kanyes west (The Brainwasher), Sunday, 21 August 2011 02:53 (twelve years ago) link

i'm not completely convinced that banks is getting much burn outside of the northeast but still pretty good for him.

J0rdan S., Sunday, 21 August 2011 02:54 (twelve years ago) link

also, he just had appx ONE album that tanked. it's not ALWAYS the kiss of death, even in this climate.

thats like, prog-pop-rap like lupe or BOB style wedded to drake w/ some wiz in there too. wiz's stoned melodic sound is a lot closer to max b (who he's claimed as an influence, and i hear it in song construction tho not rapping) than the kind of listless ~vibing~ i hear from main attrakions

funky house septics (D-40), Saturday, 27 August 2011 00:20 (twelve years ago) link

In the past week or so, four songs have leaked with incredible OJ verses, and it really seems to me like he’s stepped his game up from even just last year. He sounds remarkably confident to me right now, like this little buzz he caught from Gucci and probably even Soulja Boy has really emboldened and solidified his style. He just seems like he belongs right now, and even when he’s on a song with Fabolous and Juelz he doesn’t seem out of place— in fact, guys like that seem lost in OJ’s dust to me. And that’s not to prop up OJ as more than he is, but I think he’s gotten to the point where his style isn’t a substitute for his rapping. Instead it’s a totally unique and singular flow used by someone who is also a great rapper and who just so happens to be blowing everyone else on tracks out of the water.

"best thing he does FOR A WHILE ANYWAY" sounds like you're ready for OJ to make his Tha Carter and come back surpassing all his previous accomplishments at some point

the new big krit mixtape is solid - LOT of guest verses, many of them pretty good, but it's kind of amazing on how many tracks on his own mixtape krit spits last!

i'm kinda considering starting a "rolling worst verse of 2011", this dom kennedy verse would be a pretty instant contender, just awful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQHnsD0HtAM

frogsb (k3vin k.), Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link

there ARE a few remix songs from other artists' tapes, maybe that's why krit doesn't spit first a lot

frogsb (k3vin k.), Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:23 (twelve years ago) link

this is my least favourite of the year ito both just eing plain awful & ruining an otherwise amazing song

u guys probably talked about it elsewhere but tracks 3 to like, before the last 2 or 3 of the lloyd album would be one of the best albums of the year

back in a .gif ;) (flopson), Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:25 (twelve years ago) link

yeah that verse sucks too, i remember complaining about it in the r&b thread

yeah xp

frogsb (k3vin k.), Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:25 (twelve years ago) link

ha yeah i wrote almost exactly that elsewhere: "If this album started on track 3 and ended after track 13, it'd be a strong candidate for album of the year."

D-40, Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link

i've been meaning to ask if anyone knows what the best tape by him is, i always thought Tity Boi was super underrated when he was just dropping hilarious verses on Luda/DTP projects but haven't really heard much of his stuff now that he actually has a career

some dude, Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link

ph ok, i thought you meant both verses on the song when you said "both just eing plain awful & ruining an otherwise amazing song"

2 Chainz is his Mike Bigga-style "just in case i get a shot at selling in the suburbs" rename gambit

some dude, Saturday, 27 August 2011 20:36 (twelve years ago) link

The salo verse is an obvious nicki bite that doesn't really annoy me in terms of content, its just that its a bogus trend hopping verse

I would go for like 80 tracks, 40 albums/mixtapes/EPs countdowns. Im not sure there will be 40 good releases by the end of the year, but it would be interesting to see what end up on there.

Any link or name-dropped track ITT is auto-nominated, then people can nom like 20 more on top of that.

Then take top 40 track ballots and top 20 albums ballots.

amazing thx tpp, i have been completely off rap for a couple of weeks and this'll help me get back on it. which ones are the uhhh picks of the bunch? am i so behind that writing's on the wall 2 was in the last goon report? because i am only just getting into that. of these i have heard free bricks (ok but not as good as WOTW2), araabmusik (love), roach gigz (love), lady leshurr (she is the best thing), have d/lded but not got round to duflocka rant, xxx and the davinci one.

how much teedra does the maybach music one have on it? fucked if i'm listening to it if it's mostly rawse.

hey goons,

who coined "softserve rapper"?

― frogsb (k3vin k.), Tuesday, August 30, 2011 11:32 PM (Yesterday)

anyway i asked this because danny boy referred to "soft-serve rappers" in one of the songs from his album

frogsb (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 31 August 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

the first time i remember seeing it was when noz used to do polls on his site and one was about who was to blame for 'space age soft serve rappers' (i think andre 3k or kanye won) -- if noz isn't too filled at rage w/ being mentioned on this board again maybe he can verify whether he coined it or picked it up somewhere else

really digging Big Krit's "Return to 4eva" tape. comes across more like an album, but he sounds focused and hungry on it. co-signed Big Mike's Pl3dge from upthread, I got that last month and it's a favorite.

Jay Rock studio album is pretty solid, it does get bogged down with syrupy R&B hooks on the last few tracks, but he sounds ferocious on the first half of the album.

dug on Lil B's "I'm Gay", he's getting a lot of venom from the mixtape community though. people flat out bullying each other on Datpiff's Facebook page when "I Forgive You" dropped.

not digging on Killa Kyleon's Candy Paint...was just kinda there.

shining like national dog shit (Neanderthal), Monday, 5 September 2011 19:22 (twelve years ago) link

I've come around to "Return of 43va". It seemed like he'd gotten too completely serious the first time I listened to it, but I might just have not been in the right mood for it.

I like the Kendrick Lamar album, but can't get over the feeling he sounds like a muppet.

i mean remember, these guys don't really preprepare talking points on homos. he said he's cool with the gays and said he's probably worked with them and said he wishes they didn't have to hide it and he rambles a bit. he doesn't do bad. and knowing that he's actually had multiple homosexual experiences sorta tempers it.

James Ferraro Boyz (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 16 September 2011 01:39 (twelve years ago) link

i'm all in on "first" ESP that third verse

J0rdan S., Friday, 16 September 2011 03:30 (twelve years ago) link

that verse reminds me less of young money (the worst) and more of the pack or new boyz or something -- aggressively dumb and simple but delivered w/ a balance of seriousness and irony that allows it to work

J0rdan S., Friday, 16 September 2011 03:31 (twelve years ago) link

think that j.cole/trey songz is kind of a classic tbh

J0rdan S., Friday, 16 September 2011 03:34 (twelve years ago) link

i'm on it is the best thing on that dee 1 tape. he's a pretty good rapper and pulls off the good message christian schtick quite well by not completely saturating his stuff with preaching, but the abundance of exclamation marks on the tracklist makes him sound/look like an over enthusiastic youth-leader. also there's a parental advisory logo on the artwork which is kinda lol.

bass, Friday, 16 September 2011 08:05 (twelve years ago) link

but yea, what a song. i'm on it is one of the tracks of the year for sure, everything about it is pretty much perfect. love the video too with that slow snake of cars.

I really like both these Dee-1 songs... "The One That Got Away" less so than "I'm On It," but that's one smooth Mannie Fresh beat, and it's has a narrative satisfaction to it that many rappers have a hard time achieving.

been catching up on lots of hip-hop mixtapes this week - the young bleed album is straight-up awesome, the travis porter mixtape is pretty good but not quite as much uptempo ign'ant fun as i was expecting, reema major's mixtape is a must-hear if you liked "i'm the one" (and why wouldn't you love "i'm the one"), i'm really getting into davinci's feast or famine, rittz' white jesus is excellent but i can't get over a slight "a version of yelawolf that's just as technically good but not as charismatic" feeling about him. also, he looks like silent bob :(

not to mention the played out scarface comparison thats have been around since the late 80s at least. great stuff though, love the warbly voice stuff he's doing lately

I think "true story" is a good mixtape if you enjoy a good beat, an effective chorus and some weird autotuned raps.

sisilafami, Thursday, 27 October 2011 20:06 (twelve years ago) link

if hip hop stops being obsessed with scarface it is no longer hip hop and the mac millers have won

OK so there are 7 rap records I can think of coming out on the 31st or 1st. If you think of any others mention them here. Before they've dropped I'd be interested to hear predictions on relative quality. then maybe folks can post the order after they drop as well, if they feel like listening to them all. Here are the five i know about:

ASAP Rocky
Freddie Gibbs
LEP Bogus Boys
Wale
2 Chainz
Black Milk & Danny Brown
Soulja Boy

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:30 (twelve years ago) link

PREDICTION

black milk/danny brown > LEP > 2 Chainz > freddie gibbs > Wale > ASAP Rocky > Soulja Boy

:O

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:34 (twelve years ago) link

2 chainz is the only one i'm definitely checking for but wale is the only one i'd cross the street to avoid hearing

mylo & xylotis (some dude), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:35 (twelve years ago) link

Well the Black Milk/Danny Brown can already be heard in full. It's kinda bitty in that's there's like three proper songs on there. You can feel Danny getting a head of steam up and then it's into more mini instrumentals. "LOL" is dope though

Number None, Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:38 (twelve years ago) link

ASAP Rocky - this should be pretty good, everything I've heard has been solid - the whole houston flow, screwed & chopped hook on every song could get tiresome though
Freddie Gibbs - don't know about this since Lil Lody is producing a lot of it, I like Gibbs though and "Rob Me A Nigga" is one of my fav songs this year (and that's on here), so definitely gonna listen to this. should have solid rapping at the very least.
LEP Bogus Boys - not heard anything from this but i liked their last mixtape
Wale - this is already leaked, it's alright from what i've heard, nice production
2 Chainz - should be dope though it definitely has the worst title out of all of these
Black Milk & Danny Brown - don't care abt this
Soulja Boy - dunno

Fifty-Three Percenter Godbody Knowledge (The Brainwasher), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:38 (twelve years ago) link

2 chainz has the worst title but by far the best cover art lmao

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:40 (twelve years ago) link

i dont think ASAP owns his tracks enough as a rapper, there's some good song construction going on but the rapping feels fairly anonymous

I like LEP but I could see this going either way, sometimes they can underachieve. i have a soft spot for dudes though / hometown bias

freddie gibbs' stock has climbed with me, but we'll see, im looking for more dimension from him as a person; i feel like i don't really know the dude

wale, im hoping this has a couple pop songs like 600 benz or that way that make up for it being wale, who is totally a boring rapper

2 chainz i'm really undecided on, he has some really good songs but considering he's dominating atlanta in the wake of waka/gucci/jeezy/t.i. it feels like a pretty big step down for atlanta

black milk & danny brown -- i like how danny raps, i dont always like his production

soulja boy -- his last tape was straight trash minus like one song, feel like people keep bringing him up as a joke

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:44 (twelve years ago) link

2 chainz sometimes says actually-clever things & other times hes like "when we had sex I was in the Mercedes / and I ain't crazy but if that's my baby then we gonna have to name the lil' baby Mercedes!!!!" and hammers it home like its a punchline instead of super lame, and im like, this is the guy everyone says has got next?

his buzz feels real, but its almost like he just happened to be on the bench when Atlanta needed someone to take it over, and he'd just changed his name to something more marketable, so he took the role by default. i dunno

that said he does have a bunch of great songs so

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:47 (twelve years ago) link

when's the new King Louie out btw? Also anticipating the Fat Trel album

Number None, Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:50 (twelve years ago) link

i always thought he had some great hilarious lines back on the first playaz circle album or even on random DTP joints before that but i am kind of amazed by his ascendance, dude definitely doesn't look/seem like a star or anything. also lol @ a billboard article about him i read today saying he's 27 years old.

mylo & xylotis (some dude), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:51 (twelve years ago) link

fat trel is the first d.c. rapper gettin played on local radio in a long time that i can stand but i haven't really checked him out too much yet

mylo & xylotis (some dude), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:52 (twelve years ago) link

i dunno i just saw an interview with him where they were talking about pushing it back & getting it up on itunes, & dropping a mixtape of freestyles instead. kind of frustrating but i think for a lot of people there is a pretty big back catalog to get into. and the #manupbandup mixtape is definitely a well-rounded collection. the only track i wish they'd included is 'party like her' xxxp

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Sunday, 30 October 2011 00:53 (twelve years ago) link

thats re: louie.

Fat Trel is really good, I know Noz is all about "No Secrets" but I listen more to "April Foolz" from this year

asap rocky - this could actually be pretty great. feel like there is a lot at stake after the relative flop of tyler's album (see: his 3m$ record deal)
2 chainz - high probability this will contain some very dumb music. look forward to listening to it
lep bogus boys - seem to be on the receiving end of some cool production. this is a commercial release?
soulja boy - deandre way was surprisingly good, & tho i am a soulja boy fan he is not really an artist whose full lenghts i aspire to spend my time listening to
black milk danny brown - probably will never listen to this, i guess i suspect it might be ok
freddie gibbs - highly doubt i will ever hear this, not an artist i am in interested in at all

A$AP is a way better pop prospect out of the gate than anyone on Odd Future. He doesn't have the homophobia/misogyny of those guys, just has a vaguely modish sound and is a competent rapper. I like him.

kind of funny not just how true this is but how crucial the name change is. if he were still Tity Boi, Future would probably be the hottest atlanta rapper right now

flopson, Sunday, 30 October 2011 01:33 (twelve years ago) link

ASAP Rocky - i haven't really been into any of his songs after "peso"... i mean he has like... 3.5 minutes of great recorded music if you take into account that 20 seconds of "purple swag" is just "peso" slowed down. so idk, i think he has a pretty good idea of who he wants to be as an artist, but his talent as a writer needs to catch up to that. the song from a few weeks ago that was him rapping over a piano beat was p lame. and "bass" is just a rehash.

Freddie Gibbs - funny, i was just thinking today about how ridiculous it is that this guy "signed" with jeezy or whatever. i mean, jeezy can't even get his own career off the ground, and now he's supposed to do something for freddie gibbs? i don't think i'll be listening to this album

LEP Bogus Boys - suspect this will be pretty solid if unspectacular. as it goes.

Wale - ha, obviously this is going to be pretty bad. i haven't seen any of the features or production on this but i can't imagine caring about this album at all. his rapping is pretty bothersome.

2 Chainz - uhh 2 chainz is cool def. probably not good enough a rapper to carry a tape front to back but i bet they'll be some banger on here. idk \(o_O)/

Black Milk & Danny Brown - heard this was only okay

Soulja Boy - will prob have one classic song to add to his 2011 greatest hits collection. i think we're up to like 6 songs from this year.

ASAP Rocky : not a great rapper but seems able to make good songs. i'm interested to see what happens.

Freddie Gibbs : midwestcaddillacmuzik was dope, then his output beacame pretty bad, the new tape has some good producers. i'm interested to see what happens.

LEP Bogus Boys : never really cared for them, but maybe they'll make a tape i'll listen for a week.

Wale : don't care

2 Chainz : actually the project i'm more interested in. trap-a-velli & codeine cowboys were good mixtapes, expecting the same for the new one. While not the most skilled rapper his style definitely stands out. I like it.

Black Milk & Danny Brown : heard it wasn't really good. Not gonna check.

Soulja Boy : don't really care

come on really? i can see you have a thing against this guy but its pretty obviously: to a lot of people it's way more interesting music that's why. he's got a whole team he's introducing. he's bringing two internet niche dudes into his camp with this release (clams and SGP) and putting them out into the world of missinfo and nah right. he's blending all these weird influences out of NYC. it's a whole movement with its own cryptic codes and symbols, which as proven by of and Weeknd is the new model for success when channelled through tumblr

not even gonna talk about wale and freddie gibbs...love danny brown but black milk is equally zzzz as those other two

no one has gone on to the street and done a poll obviously. in a national popular vote 2 chainz would win. if you could measure buzz asap would win and one day he'll be MUCH more popular than fucking 2 chainz.

you said it yourself before today the man had released three minutes of good music - the buzz relative to his skills/actual output is wildly out of proportion - and his buzz is mostly with people like us who read internety rap blogs btw

MODS DID 10/11 (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 01:31 (twelve years ago) link

1) he has a narrative that's MUCH more interesting than "earnest rapper gets signed doesnt put out music than does". blogs and magazines create naratives around these guys and then they all just line up to the pump . asap's is way more rich

in all seriousness what does this mean

MODS DID 10/11 (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 01:32 (twelve years ago) link

i don't think he was overly buzzed based on "peso" & "purple swag" unless, again, we're talking of millions of dollars and whatever expectations come with it

this kinda thing happens to indie rockers ALL THE TIME, and as major labels have died, the playing field in rap has shifted more towards the model that indie rock has been on for years now. the only thing is that rappers are still expected to go major, so at some point things get thrown out of wack.

but having lots of 'industry buzz' after two mp3s is pretty standard practice

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 01:33 (twelve years ago) link

i think surfboards problem here is that he's conflating "narrative" with "image" -- ASAP has no narrative per se... he put videos on the internet and people liked them. he doesn't have a life story. but his image is very trendy & current, i think that's blatantly obvious.

xxxp i can't get mad at one person for assuming somethign and then do the same thing in the same thread so sorry about assuming you have an LEP thing cuz of chicago

but the ASAP-type narrative is clearly resonating with the culture this year. he synthesizes many different inputs. his fashion looks like he just stepped out of a street style blog. this is what's hitting in post-kanye culture. and with OF and Weeknd taking off and then Drake basically co-opting the whole thing. that's mainstream now. so it's no wonder why he has more buzz because he's playing with the same set of clubs on the same course so to speak. he will be mainstream, buzz-makers saw him coming and got in line. for the clicks, of course

boosie unfortunately couldn't ride that out

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:20 (twelve years ago) link

boosie's career also suffered from his label delaying his album forever and loading it up w/ fuckin lil phat verses on every other song and all of the biggest hits people identified w/ boosie being on albums by webbie and foxx, among other things

mylo & xylotis (some dude), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:22 (twelve years ago) link

The clams tracks on this tape are hot garbage imo. And asap is still an average rapper. Trew might have charisma in person / wearing streetwear but the idea that hes the next boosie or dro because the "culture moved on" is total bs

the 'street style blog' thing is pretty hilarious to me -- i guess the whole thing w/ him and danny brown and even odd future is largely about making potentially intimidating-looking rappers come off all quirky and cute and nonthreatening in a way that REALLY appeals to certain audiences

- gucci was a perfect example... i mean certainly there are issues there with him too, but he didn't pop off nationally like everyone expected him to

- waka had two hits, but as you said yourself, ppl care more about 2 chainz now

- ross is a label creation who has very little basis in the kind of underground -> pop street rap narrative i'm talking about here

- meek mill, sure. it's not a hard and fast rule. there's still a niche for the meek mills, but it's much, much smaller and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is much smaller.

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:27 (twelve years ago) link

waka had 4 sizable hits off one album! and this stupid new thing w/ drake is kinda blowing up!

mylo & xylotis (some dude), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:28 (twelve years ago) link

i mean the list is pretty long

guys like rich boy and webbie and dro have HUGE HITS to their names, but neither of those guys could drop a commercial album and sell 10k copies

is it cuz their music is just so much worse than it was four years ago? or has the "culture moved on"

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:29 (twelve years ago) link

meek mill and 2 chainz are kind of my two defaults right now for thank god there are some 'relevant' rappers i don't find completely embarrassing on some fundamental level

look i don't necessarily like this either

people upped and stopped caring about a lot of my favorite rappers of the past five years -- lil boosie, dro are the main ones -- and it took a long time, like a year or more, for that to really sink in. i'm not sure how long it's gonna be until that era comes back.

that would be true of a drake/anybody tour right now in terms of ticket sales tbh (xpost)

mylo & xylotis (some dude), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:33 (twelve years ago) link

i don't really mean ticket sales tho

i mean that tour is only like 6 colleges anyway, so it's not like some huge big thing. i mean i don't think execs would let him bring kendrick & asap out on a 25 city nationwide tour, but it's not a coincidence why drake asked those two artist to go play shows with him.

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:35 (twelve years ago) link

it is interesting though how for years and years all these joe budden-type east coast cats were getting left behind in the changing times, and now the casualties of the changing times are people like rich boy and young dro that people were blaming for papoose getting benched or whatever. and it's not like it's karma or comeuppance or lack of 'staying power,' it's just all these demographic shifts constantly happening.

Asap rocky hasn't replaced anyone, and if he does it will be because of relentless media saturation. And waka is STILL more popular than odd future.

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:45 (twelve years ago) link

look i'm making no predictions about ASAP's career or whatever. i think the fact that he's gotten this far is evidence enough.

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:46 (twelve years ago) link

Artists like kendrick and jcole can push albums bcuz they've marketed themselves as "serious rap artists" but even jcoles one hit had a trey songz hook and could easily have been on a circa 2000 street rap artists album

t.i. still has a career

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:49 (twelve years ago) link

rap radio in a lot of major markets is definitely gradually getting more soft batch/dancey/hipster/bloggy, it hasn't totally pushed out street rap but drake definitely feels like a transitional figure in that sense

some dude, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:50 (twelve years ago) link

look, jail fucked gucci's career up, no doubt

but the reason why "lemonade" stalled in the 60s in the hot 100 has nothing to do with promoting and everything to do with what people on a large scale started to gravitate towards

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 02:51 (twelve years ago) link

t.i. has a couple songs doing well right now, but he'll never be back to urban legend-through-paper trail level big again, and he'll probably fuck up his legal status and/or career momentum again before you know it

you're missing my point. of course there's no "demand" for asap rocky tickets. drake doesn't need any openers. his tour could open up with a roundtable discussion featuring the editors of somanyshrimp and it would sell out in a day. think about the type of image and sound that asap & drake (and to a lesser extent in terms of fashion) kendrick have? does that not seem like a good signpost for where the genre is right now and what people by and large care about? drake picked ASAP bcuz they have a lot of things in common. this is also why ASAP is "popular". and why drake is hugely popular.

Yeah definitely, having said that, Burn One really knows how to produce a track, his craft/sound is so pure, everything he produces is perfectly crisp. Just listening to Peso (Burn One) followed by Bass (Clams) and its so easy to hear the difference in clarity.

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 06:21 (twelve years ago) link

asap as a rapper has obvious weaknesses. i find his performance amateurish in some regards; the timbre of his voice is rougher than the smooth pop rap cuts but not quite hard enough when he really spits, neither is his delivery. i felt similarly about mellowype last year. regardless, my favourite moments are the slowest, with airy production. also not sure if he's always perfectly on beat, he sounds a bit sloppy. some of the flows are real strong, i think it's relatively obvious that he has potential

one of the things that really stands out to me abt the peso video is that at one pt hes clearly rocking the mid 90s master p look with the glasses & at another point he & his dudes are obviously referencing cash money w/ the shirtless + black headscarf look. as a rap nerd this is what made them seem fresh, they're reviving a look before anyone else really has

the point "hey look guys not EVERYONE cares about asap rocky!" is a pretty basic & meaningless one and one that privileges the type of rap you listen to & the type of listeners you find authentic, just like i could c/p any number of blogs and websites that aren't covering fat joe's the darkside vol 11 and go "huh, no fat joe here. isn't that something."

no, its about observing the privilege of the tastemakers & people who decide what the stories are going to be for the next XYZ months, how these things are DECIDED UPON by a small group rather than coming from the ground up, the small networking game that makes it possible that we even hear about these artists

it was very much an organic movement, just as OF was and jsut as Frank Ocean was

interesting discussion, I ain't gonna argue w/ppl but there's interesting stuff in it - deej seems to be saying that grassroots can't make for actual popularity, which seems like a weird thing to say...but then I think people have a very romantic idea of 1) there being stuff that isn't from its inception self-aware & tied into publicity and 2) their own ability to tell grassroots from "hype"

right, "grassroots" is a weird term. i do think that ASAP has been given a big shortcut to fame... he has the ear of the industry and that can still be a powerful thing. personally i don't know if he's talented enough or if his music is focused enough on being 'pop' for him to be a star etc etc

xpforks i dont think asap rocky is anyone here's favourite, reactions to the mixtape were pretty tame. otoh the self-admitted dearth of quality in legit alternatives w/ any national presence proposed by deej and retreat into regional obscurities like max b & king louie, caring about 'grassroots,' suddenly caring about whether or not an artist is from the projects, makes it a bit easier to get excited about asap

i dont understand that post. regional obscurities like max b?

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:31 (twelve years ago) link

"suddenly caring about whether or not an artist is from the projects"

this is a total misunderstanding of what i posted. tons of random rappers are from the projects. i thought i made it clear after -- this was w/ a debate where surfboards was like 'theres no narrative to LEP' & i was grounding his story in a specific place, and the story isnt that count was from the ickes but that he was running them, and they have a large place in chicago history much the way queensbridge might in nyc

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:33 (twelve years ago) link

and king louie is a brand new artist, of course hes 'obscure' -- much as asap rocky is obscure to anyone not on tumblr or in our internet rap music nerd world

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link

in fact, the entire premise of that post is bogus. Max B would have made a much better 'national rapper' prospect than asap, as im sure even ASAP himself would admit, until he took himself out of the equation by getting arrested. id argue on purely musical terms that i think king louie is a much more promising talent than asap, although obviously with the hierarchies the way they are i might just be shouting into the wind

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link

i just mean it's not like there are many convincing alternative as to who else deserves this slice of hype, even the rappers you rep for nowadays are either more low-key & have little or no national exposure, or halfheartedly stanning for meek mill because no one else raps

flopson, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link

i dont see whats unconvincing about any of the rappers i rep for, and my enthusiasm for meek mill isn't really halfhearted; i like dreamchasers more than this tape too

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:37 (twelve years ago) link

i mean isnt the slice of hype much more about NY's ego than it is about our psychic need for more national rappers anyway

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:39 (twelve years ago) link

the fact is that caramanica's thesis about ASAP being the epitome of New York as universal recipient rather than universal donor was as true / moreso with max b, and that's kind of the angle everyone's taken to with ASAP right?

i imagine part of the hype w/ ASAP is they dont think hes as likely to end up in prison

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link

hey ive been rocking w/ louie all summer, lol

for what its worth, i would not wish ASAP levels of hype on Louie at all. I mean, I would to the extent that I think it would be good for his family to have the money to move out of woodlawn, but in terms of creating a sustained career, he's much better off working on increasing his national fanbase through creating strong relationships with non-media type audiences. so this really isn't about me wishing I was in RNT's position (particularly bad parallel because I am in no way actually invested in Louie's success beyond, as I've said, being right about his worth as an artist; i'm not tying my career to his in any way

i dont think asap rocky stands up to 2chainz or meek mill. I think he has the potential to reach those guys, but he's definitely not at that step. Thats the problem w/ these indie rock blog hype cycles, they're so concerned with being first that they jump the gun on a lot of artists

i'm not sure what your first point means or what it has to do w/ why saigon and papoose and maino and joel ortiz never had popular, sustained careers. as for b, you're right none of those guys were fashion plates, but i don't think "fashion plate" as it pertains to ASAP is a check mark in a box. it's part of a charisma that he has that those other guys didn't, which transcends BRING NY BACK hype.

remember when they were getting hype from NYers, the blog crowd was chasing houston rappers, then hyphy

saigon and papoose weren't ahead of their time or some shit, they just weren't all that great of artists.

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:06 (twelve years ago) link

as for houston rappers and hyphy being chewed up and spit out, you're definitely right and ASAP and his ppl should be concerned about how quickly he will be expected to return on that large investment. far be it from me to tell someone to turn down that much money, but he's put a ton of pressure on himself, certainly by revealing the amount, too.

flopson's "i wish something was just v popular & we all liked it" misunderstands that lil wayne / t.i. etc were all regional obscurities at one point, to have a sustained career in this industry afaik thats the only way to really do it

― The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:21 (1 hour ago) Bookmark

not so sure that was my point; i think it's important to follow regional obscurities who release great music & consider it a hobby of mine. despite the weaknesses i outlined in my post upthread i think asap rocky's aesthetic (both fashion/image & the brand of production he's equally defined by) and strong hooks puts him above dudes like meek mill, 2 chainz ito pop appeal. they are better rappers in many ways and i'm looking forward to their future output, esp 2 chainz, but besides maybe a strong single it's hard to see them having vastly diffrent trajectories than street rappers we've seen slide out of relevance the past few years (gucci, jeezy). i mean i happen to like the asap tape a lot but my argument is more about "if i had 3 million dollars but had to invest it in rap music"

flopson, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

if asap rocky has a career even a fraction as strong as gucci or jeezy's he'll be lucky. i still dont get the comparison. Jeezy was on top for a long time, and unlike Wayne and T.I. never aimed for the straight pop maneuver; and Gucci ethered his own career when he was still ascendant. I don't think there's anything limiting Meek Mill (who I think is better than 2 Chainz) from crossing over.

i dont see how clams casino production & looking like dj quik dressed up as percy miller is a fashion/image run to 'pop appeal.' Its tailor-made for a certain hip niche appeal, and that niche appeal happens to be hot with certain pop stars like Drake, but Weeknd isn't storming the charts either.

i dont even hear 'strong hooks.' purple swag is like a poor man's 'still tippin.'

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link

how many hooks on this record are just a down-pitched voice reciting rap lyrics anyway

I was at the show at alife when he opened for Danny brown, before XXX came Out and before ASAP had any press. It was packed.

I was also at the santos show that he headlined. Also packed. Don't remember how much press he had at this point.

He played during some juicy j thing one day I didn't go but supposedly he we t over really well.

I have nothing to do with the "hype cycle" or whatever the fuck. Do with this info whatever you may. such an NYC complex around here it's glaring. Why does a rapper get your goat

ASAP Rocky track-by-track, * track is a highlight

Palace -- Clams' beat sounds all nastily mastered & rocky sounds kind of lost over amorphous beats like this, his rhythmic sense isn't tight enough

*Peso -- probably the best song he'll ever do

Bass -- First example of me getting really tired of the overuse of downtuned vocals for hooks / otherwise, beat is kind of lame

Wassup -- If I was to rep for a Clams beat on this, it would be this one, which is assisted by being a part of a 2:41 second song. Space-yness sounds kinda like the equiv of hanging out under orange sodium lights (dunno if that makes sense). Only part of the beat that sucks is when he does this weird unnecessary hi-hat fill.

*Brand New Guy -- downtuned voice is back, becoming a lame chorus trick. Schoolboy Q is dope on this but sorta makes other rappers on it look bad. Pretty great beat.

Purple Swag Ch 2 -- one of the most boring beats on the record. generic s&c salih williams ripoff ish

Get Lit -- again generic production, downtuned vocals are back again, rapping is dull

*Trilla -- perhaps the best beat on the record. Flows on this work nicely. I hope this gets redone by other rappers though

*Keep It G -- I will never get tired of noirish sax traxx.

Kissin Pink -- too much singing. a bit generic

Houston Old Head -- I know ppl like this but I don't think I can really deal w/ introspective Rocky.

Acid Drip -- no diss in case he's reading but the Soufein3000 beats feel like the most generic on the record

Leaf -- I don't like main attrakionz really, flows on this sound lost. Again, Clams beats dont really work here

*Roll One Up -- One of the record's best beats. Anyone could work on this, Rocky will do

Demons -- too many Clams beats, feel like im in an aural weed coma (in a restless, anxious way)

Out of this World -- I hate this drum sound, dont understand how it became so big (kanye?)

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Wednesday, 2 November 2011 05:53 (twelve years ago) link

agree that "trilla" and "peso" are great but while the overall stoned-in-your-bedroom x witch-house-spookiness vibe probably hits the spot in a certain mood it's not something i can get very excited about as a thing? also he CAN'T RAP omg, and it's not even like there's force of character to compensate à la lil b's stream of consciousness moments

the LEP went for a darker denser street feel than I was expecting, thought it wd have some more pop moves like the last one. there is a good retro vibe to it, like back when gangster rappers yelled about politics in a one dimensional gangster rap way and spelled america with three k's in the middle

of the recent mixtapes i've been catching up on i quite like the travis porter but kind of wish there were more super-fast bangers like "bring it back" - meek mill's is really great though, liked j0rdan's review of that, and the reema major backs up "i'm the one" pretty effectively

yeah the meek mill is excellent. I like the production on freddie gibbs better than asap for sure, it's just he has too many kinda smooth cuts for me, which isn't really my thing, so i prefer the asap cos of the style rather than the quality.

pandemic, Wednesday, 2 November 2011 17:33 (twelve years ago) link

meek mill just has that something about his voice that connects - j0rdan discussed this in his review, it's something that plenty aim for but when someone has it, it's just POW. don't even mind the generic lex luger beats really. what i find interesting is the way he crosses WAKA-style energy with complex narrative without sacrificing either.

is it just me or does he bring the best out of rawse, too? maybe it's just something about how their voices contrast that makes me more amenable to rick ross's elephantine galumphing as a foil to meek's nervous energy.

this is partly right, but the thing about ASAP is that he isn't -- i think even too ppl that really like his music -- an amazing rapper qua rapper. and i think if you're an amazing rapper, you can get away with relying heavily on c&s hooks, but with ASAP (and tons of other rappers) it might be a sign that he just doesn't have that many ideas for hooks right now, and that wouldn't be good

Jordan, here's an easy distinction for u: 2 chainz is the most popular rapper. Tony montana the most popular song. No one cares about Future except the possibility that one of his hooks will replicate the tony montana formula

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Thursday, 3 November 2011 05:50 (twelve years ago) link

My fav is joseph mcvey but it was also the first I heard so biased

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Thursday, 3 November 2011 05:51 (twelve years ago) link

i guess, "tony montana" is popular than any one 2 chainz song by a wide margin, and "magic" isn't too far behind

J0rdan S., Thursday, 3 November 2011 05:52 (twelve years ago) link

And party rock anthem is bigger than either, that doesn't make lmfao the biggest rappers in the county

or does it...

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Thursday, 3 November 2011 05:54 (twelve years ago) link

And for what it's worth, "spend it" is a pretty big single, albeit not tony montana level afaik "magic"isnt bigger

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Thursday, 3 November 2011 05:55 (twelve years ago) link

sorry deej i don't really get yr argument that futures "anonymity" lessens his classification as a popular rapper? futures clearly much closer to the rap genre than lmfao in sound, image, collabos etc. im sure you could say lmfao are part of the rap genre if you wanted, but thats kind of a weird distinction to make as they are clearly in sound and affiliation closer to "party electro" or w/e cataracs bep etc are

really like the future tape in any case, thanks for the suggestion sisil

chilli, Thursday, 3 November 2011 13:52 (twelve years ago) link

I dont get the argument that bigger song = bigger rapper.I'm sure d4l had a bigger hit than jeezy at one point but no one said shawty lo was running atlanta

pandemic, Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:06 (twelve years ago) link

xxp jeezy had several hits before that point though, not really seeing that w/ tity boi. don't really see the analogy tbh unless you're saying one artist is more "legit rap" than the other

chilli, Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link

I'm not saying 2 chainz is jeezy level, my entire line on 2 chainz is that hes underwhelming relative to jeezy t.i. gucci et al, but this time last year no one knew who future was. Tity boi has been in the game for years and had one of the country's biggest hits four years ago. Who knows, maybe future has an atl-on-lock career in him, but thats not likely in the near future based on the material of his I've heard.

The boyboy young jess (D-40), Thursday, 3 November 2011 17:08 (twelve years ago) link

i personally like a lot more tity boi songs than future, but i don't think futures lack of "real atl pedigree" or w/e precludes him from being a big rapper in atlanta. i suppose you're looking at it from the perspective of the perceived quality of an artist's career-long output, which is kind of a weird metric for "biggest rapper in atl right now" imo

its not that, its that he just doesnt have the catalog. a big hit single, a minor hit follow up and a not-exactly-acclaimed solo mixtape dont give someone 'biggest rapper in the city' status. cmon. its intangibles too

oh for sure future isn't even close to the biggest rapper in atlanta, i just thought deej's argument was a little weak. tho if atl does have a "biggest rapper," tity boi doesn't come up as a big contender. in year or two maybe

idk enough about purposefully abrasive music but i think you can make abrasive, low quality sounding beats... in high fidelity, as opposed to just having shit bitrates. idk not that it matters to me and it's obv part of clams' appeal to lots of ppl.

AFAP Raggett (D-40), Friday, 4 November 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link

if its part of your aesthetic, then make it sound distorted, but then release it in high bitrate so we can determine if its 'aesthetic' or 'laziness' bcuz i highly suspect the latter

AFAP Raggett (D-40), Friday, 4 November 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link

yeah but when you consider the fact that youtube is Lil B's primary release platform bitrate doesn't really come into it

Number None, Friday, 4 November 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah definitely, just that when you hear a clams song on ASAPs tape right next to another one thats done right, the difference is apparent and distracts from the overall quality of the project.

i don't see how it has anything to do w/ clipse

J0rdan S., Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:06 (twelve years ago) link

Critics were unified in their backhanded dismissals of kreays "skills" but the phenomena of her getting 23 mill youtube hits and driving traffic for tons of readers was unavoidable.asap rocky has no more than a mil. hits on any song, big fader features and the internets busiest music critic describing his multitude of influences

AFAP Raggett (D-40), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link

there isn't even remotely close to the critical fandom for rocky as there were for clipse

you finding one random blog that no one has ever heard of or will ever hear from again calling asap "the nirvana of rap" isn't even remotely close to what was happening w/ the clipse circa 06 -- the whole comparison is just backwards

J0rdan S., Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link

asap has important ppl behind him in the industry and in the upper reaches of the press, but that's about it. neither of those two things was true about the clipse.

J0rdan S., Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link

yeah a lot of this convo is about overnight success, lack of groundwork, focus on the rapper's eye-catching image/videos, getting signed off one song and a couple months of hype, things that don't really apply to the clipse

prettyliketynandelong (some dude), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:09 (twelve years ago) link

Asap rocky is being taken seriously in a way kreay never was. She had an actual hit that eventually made it to radio

AFAP Raggett (D-40), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link

'taken seriously' is all relative. a lot of doors opened for her very quickly, and a lot of them were in terms of internet/critic attention.

prettyliketynandelong (some dude), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:11 (twelve years ago) link

The clipse comparison is about the clipse hype during the release of the "got it 4 cheap" stuff, id say its comparable --top-down niche following bcuz they fit the right aesthetic st the right time.

AFAP Raggett (D-40), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:13 (twelve years ago) link

A lot of doors opened for her because she drove tons of traffic al! No one gifted her that, it was the video

AFAP Raggett (D-40), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:14 (twelve years ago) link

there are some parts of the kreayshawn comparison that don't fit (deej is right about the traffic) BUT there are some similarities in terms of having, like, literally only two songs

J0rdan S., Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:17 (twelve years ago) link

And we've discussed this but the "critic attention" was almost uniformly negative

I acted like ppl should stop bending over backwards to talk about how unskilled she was and pretending that "gucci gucci" was some kind of thing being "forced" on us when it ws rlly quite immediate

Asap has never had the same groundswell of support, now he will be that artist that even indie rock critics are voting for at year end time

AFAP Raggett (D-40), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:23 (twelve years ago) link

Odd future were the new clipse except they found a big skater audience so they'll be ok after the critics forget about them as a hype cycle phenomenon, while kanye had to rescue pusha t

but ok i've got it on -- this is better than "peso" but i dunno maybe years of hearing hundreds of local mixtapes just makes me realize how dime-a-dozen cats like this are. are people REALLY looking at him as having a Drake-type career? that makes zero sense to me, on any level.

this is 'blow stacks' another jam off his record

too many luger/fake luger beats on it but there are some jams
i think j0 would probably like a fair amount of this, its p fruit swagged out in parts, R&B choruses & etc.

can you draw a plain distinction between these two or does this mean "clever no-quotes is when I like it, cleve with quotes is when it bugs me"

the money on the floor beat is just O_____________O

also one of the best screwed hooks in a long time

this is from last year, but it's one of my fave KRIT beats:

yeah i love "parked outside", big late summer vibes

the beat on that 2 chainz track is fantastic, those synths zipping everywhere - is it off the mixtape? which i haven't bothered with b/c i have a STACK of music to get through and 2 chainz isn't someone i anticipate will be worth listening to at mixtape length

all my kicks is nike, all my chicks is dykey
flip you off like a white boy, tell you to bite me
yeah rude boy with the bumbaclaat
you don't wanna go to war with my youngest, what
they come with chopsticks like chinese takeout
you want beef? welcome to the steakhouse
there ain't gonna be headlocks
just red dots on your dreadlocks, headshots

.........
mackin and mobbin, jackin and robbin
me and my squadron, attack of the goblins
we all go for blood like vampires
and keep shit lit like campfires
.........
getcha mail bro, go to hell ho
i'm blowin nigga like the back of a well yo
i know you feel me like a braille quote
we still goin dumb, snail slow
and do we give a fuck? hell no
i know you see bottles, i know you smell smoke
but do it just like me
and don't be scared of the ghost of hyphy
.........
he was born in about 98
i think it was a black saturday
first name hyphy, never been a punk
had a cousin from down south, his name was crunk
raised in a town, daddy named keith
product of the turf, he ain't never been weak
turned parties out til somebody got shot
and hit another block when the spot got hot
but as he got older he got more exposure
money got involved and the game got colder
he went nation, niggas started hatin
planned to bring him with em but they didn't have patience
and i can't recall the exact date
but two years later they found him dead in the bay
i don't give a damn who wanna fight me
cuz nigga i'mma ride for the ghost of hyphy

all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Monday, 7 November 2011 14:37 (twelve years ago) link

ok ha that "I Am A Vampire" track is basically exactly what I want right now, also not to get all goopy but I took the laptop in to aero jr. while it was playing and he straight up LOVED it, making all kinds of smiles and noises about it so cousin fik has the next generation's vote of confidence

this Pfork ASAP Rocky review is weird

Unavoidable in the conversation is the enduring absence of a New York commercial force under 30. Since the emergence of Dipset and G-Unit in the first half of the last decade, NYC rap aspirants have largely fallen into four categories: ringtone wunderkinds ("This Is Why I'm Hot", "Chicken Noodle Soup"), technically skilled personality voids (Papoose, Saigon), artful traditionalists (Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Ka), and Maino.

Nicki doesn't count/get a mention?

imo childish gambino is almost worse than mac miller in that his shallow lil wayne imitations and shrill shoutiness is considered to be somehow "good rapping" while mac is more general fun/party stuff. def watch for this dude to claim an important place in the fratrap contiuum

mac miller at least he doesn't have any pretenses about his rap ability, and i think most frat boys can see that. cg's going through all the motions to sound like a rapper in 6'7" or look at me now, but has none of the ability to back it up

Really liked about half of the Lloyd Banks 'Cold Corner 2' tape. Especially ' young fly flashy'. The Radiohead sample on the title track is a bit O_O tho.

Also turns out Deej was right about the Freddie Gibbs tape being way better than ASAP, really grown on me over the last few days. Still enjoying King Louie above anything else I've checked out over the last month tho, except maybe Young Bleed.

that the jacka and husalah were included specifically to appease you, pre-empting your backlash

their plan has backfired due to the disastrous tag.

hope someone gets fired for that one

yeah I dunno a lot of those designations/tags seem really arbitrary. most annoyingly, they have nothing to do with how the music actually sounds

Four tracks in, this new Webbie is crazy good. I wasn't a huge fan of Savage Life 2, loved Savage Life though.

Love how he channels Boosie in his delivery a bit on "What You Want", and "Shawty Know" manages to be a dope trill'n'b song (the Bobby V hook is really catchy too)

i think the chart does a good job delineating the increasingly ambiguous/irrelevant line b/w industry & underground and is impressively comprehensive (i think "angel haze" being the only outrageous exception we could come up with is proof of this) didn't find any of the jokes/tags hilarious but almost none of them are /that/ offtm

i can come up with tons of omissions, many of the tags or offtm, there's 1000x as much variation in the 'regional thug' circle as the 'hardworking weedhead' circle, why is DaVinci in the 'working class' rapper category but other similar rappers are 'regional thugs'? no man. it's marginalizing much more talented rappers & hugely boosting the profiles of irrelevant non-entities like cities aviv

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 17:58 (twelve years ago) link

lol @ the idea that 'angel haze' is the only omission. are you serious? why is shady nate up there but not j stalin? I bet you sly polaroid (to pick one name i wrote abt recently) has more youtube views / fans than huge portions of the chart. oh but hes a REGIONAL THUG so it doesn't matter.

its just hugely arbitrary and serves a small number of artists

i mean, end of day, its a dumb graphic that isn't worth getting worked up about, but don't try to tell me its mostly otm because it does have a b.s. agenda

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

here's a huge omission: MAC MILLER, the biggest selling independent rapper in the country. the last time an independent rap album went to number one it was the dogg pound in 1995. and its excluded from this chart. i mean, i think the dude sucks, but ignoring him is totally bizarre

that chart reflects writers who aren't covering rap as it exists & instead are trying to make it fit their worldview of what qualities are interesting in hip-hop. they gloss over huge qualitative differences when its suits them, and other times zoom way in to catalog the micro-differences between certain artists w/in a small, marginal scene in hip-hop

Mac Miller is on there

The Reverend, Wednesday, 16 November 2011 18:21 (twelve years ago) link

sorry mac miller was listed in 'industry,' which makes no sense, because he is an independent artist. spaceghostpurrp listed in 'industry' makes no sense. why is lupe fiasco not listed w/ bob in 'rappers who've successfully sold their soul.'

Where is WEBBIE on this chart?

dude angel haze has been brought up like twice on ilx by lex to mixed reception (is na'tee on that chart?); i just searched sly polaroid and that post from 1 minute ago is the first ever mention on ilx--posted after this chart was printed. what the fuck point are you trying to make; that the editors of spin should be prescient? i get it that it's about youtube hits & street presence or whatever, but bringing sly polaroid into this is bordering on self-caricature

yes, every history book is gonna have an agenda too. that doesn't make it above critique if someone writes a history of the u.s. that doesn't write about say japanese internment or w/e

not to compare the two qualitatively but you should get my point

the point is why in the world do you expect a corny rag with a clear demographic like spin magazine to be the one to break sly polaroid.i don't think this is above critique but i think the weakness of your critique speaks to its relative success

flopson, Wednesday, 16 November 2011 18:36 (twelve years ago) link

dog this is totally flying over your head, huh

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 18:39 (twelve years ago) link

you have yet to point out the 'weakness of my critique.' its not about fucking breaking sly polaroid

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 18:40 (twelve years ago) link

it boggles the mind how you can read anything i've ever said on ilx about rap & not understand why the chart is absurdly distorting picture of what rap is like right now. there are probably a hundred rappers w/ larger fanbases than cities aviv that aren't included in this list. sly p was an arbitrary example.

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 18:42 (twelve years ago) link

as an attempt to get a handle on a picture of the scene, imo, it entirely fails. it marginalizes major artists & talents & gives undue shine towards marginal ones. the fact that you can only take apart my critique by picking out my one random example of an artist ignored shows the weakness of your critique not mine

I'm with deej on this one

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link

i think given spin's readership & the credentials of the people who compiled the chart they give a more than generous & still representative overview of street rap trends & career dynamics. regional thug is maybe a condescending way of sorting things but i think otw everything's treated w equanimity/same level of condescension. also not everyone [who has subscribed to spin the past 3 years] loved street rap i think it would be hard to deny that right now there are a lot more interesting things going on outside of street rap than there have been in the past few years--not 2 say there's necessarily less interesting street rap--i think representing that rather than going deeper into the minutiae of regional rap radio makes total sense and definitely isn't a problem

flopson, Wednesday, 16 November 2011 19:01 (twelve years ago) link

well, i guess if you're concerned with creating a prism to reflect rap through a readership then it succeeds? i would prefer a more journalistic perspective personally

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 19:03 (twelve years ago) link

like, as an individual covering a scene, at some point you step back and realize that however much you're a part of a scene you're covering a phenomenon much larger than yourself and your tastes

otoh i would never put myself in a position of trying to capture the entirety of rap in chart form so more kudos for their ambition i suppose

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 19:04 (twelve years ago) link

another thing is that i feel like there was a time where it was understood that at some level a spin reader was outside of what was going on in hip-hop & wanted to see coverage of the scene as it existed; now a spin reader sees themselves as part of the narrative, as impacting the narrative.

i mean, maybe it was like this in the 90s, i don't remember. but i cant imagine spin did heavy 2pac coverage? or bone thugs coverage? those were the biggest rappers in the country at one point, Drake style. and spin fans might like that stuff, but it wasn't a part of the music-that-spin-covered was it? idk i'm spitballing i didnt really read much spin back then, at least not to find out about rap

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link

(that's not intended to be an argument, with the last post i'm throwing an idea out there & seeing what ppl think about it because I'm not really sure)

Regional Thug (D-40), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link

I had a subscription to Spin in the early 90s, I don't really remember them covering hip hop at all. I remember their story on NWA and Eazy-E ordering piroggies at some expensive Russian restaurant but that's pretty much it.

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 16 November 2011 19:09 (twelve years ago) link

so yeah. maybe w/ the internet and the erosion of 'genre boundaries' people 'outside' hip-hop feel more empowered to involve themselves in it & make their voice heard as to how it's 'supposed' to sound where at one time webbie might be a lot more central to what was going on in rap, now the traditional rap audience has become simply a strain of rap while spin's perspective on rap becomes another (i'm envisioning that spin chart as being like that new yorker cover of 'a new yorker's view of the united states')

your beef is essentially like complaining that Kanye and Gaga get all daily Rolling Stone news updates while Adele quietly sells more than either. Yes, deej, sometimes a magazine is conscious of what its readers want to read about, so you don't need to act all babe in the woods offended that a mag that had St. Vincent on the cover a few months ago is focusing on Cities Aviv instead of the more "fair" portrayal of Yung Berg or whatever.

Like seriously, the issue is hipping people to Mouse on Tha Track and Gunplay and Starlito/Don Trip. Forgive the spoon full of sugar, man.

WHY DIDNT YOUR INFOGRAPHIC INCLUDE TREE

shiroibasketshoes & tuxedos (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 17 November 2011 01:53 (twelve years ago) link

am i not allowed to talk about rappers you havent heard of because bsod made a shitty diagram? yall are fuckin ridiculous

Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2011 01:56 (twelve years ago) link

im sorry i dont like actually-talented rappers being marginalized as 'regional thugs' so dude can carefully categorize the artists who follow him on twitter like they were toy soldiers

Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2011 01:57 (twelve years ago) link

it's really weird how you act like the chart really matters or it's actually going to change anyone's perception of any artist for better or worse

timellisonmyside (some dude), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:00 (twelve years ago) link

it's really weird how you let whiney blatantly and lazily troll you instead of ignoring him or sparring back w/ him in a funny way

yo zuccotti (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:01 (twelve years ago) link

and anyway the infographic WAS a tree

yo zuccotti (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:01 (twelve years ago) link

j0rdan be real deej is almost never intentionally funny

timellisonmyside (some dude), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:02 (twelve years ago) link

a lot of people not having a problem w/ it suggests that it is reinforcing that. it used to be that 'regional artists' was where 'national artists' came from

its not like i'm worried phonte & the dude from g-side are about to become superstars off this chart but im not the one who brought it up again, or who gets clowned for bothering to talk about a rapper who isnt on the chart

Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:03 (twelve years ago) link

well i'm just saying xp

yo zuccotti (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:04 (twelve years ago) link

no its fine, i dont know why i bother trying to talk abt music when i could be 'sparring with whiney'

Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:04 (twelve years ago) link

okay plz don't act like whiney's lazy zing was actually an impetuous for you going off on a serious mini-rant about the injustices of the spin chart

flopson, Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:04 (twelve years ago) link

you could send one shot his way and keep it moving

or you could -- and this is just really novel -- ignore him

i think that i shall never see, a rapper doper than a TREE

shiroibasketshoes & tuxedos (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 17 November 2011 02:06 (twelve years ago) link

if u dig the tree stuff flopson i recommend this EP he just did w/ another chi rapper
http://www.fakeshoredrive.com/2011/11/big-wiz-tree-wizardtree-the-outtanowhere-ep.html/

he produced the whole thing. there's something that reminds me of like a broke pimp c in its rugged soulful vibe.

^^^^good song

bcuz of my posts in response to whiney im gettin emails so i just want to say, publicly, that my criticisms of the spin chart are limited to the particular method of viewing the genre specific to that one graphic & are not criticisms of the rest of the issue or spin's coverage of hip-hop more generally -- thank u
