I'm really trying to wrap my head around a guy who's every fifth line is terrible being the savior of rap to Vibe readers and pfrok readers alike just because people like to parse shit like "I'm so high I could eat a star."

Though I WILL say that hipster-hop has been as hit or miss as any sub-sub-sub-genre:
-one or two killer MCs (Wale, Kidz In The Hall) -some OK-at-best singles from some not-so-killer MCs that probably won't be around next year (Cool Kids "Mikey Rocks," Knux "Cappuchino," Izza Kizza, "Walk That Dog") -some pretty awful rappers getting an amazing amount of hype because of the way they dress (Jay Electronica, Mickey Factz, Kid Cudi) -some downright loathsome shit that needs to get murked (Uffie, Kid Sister)
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Also eth could you back up off dudes who're excited about a rap album I mean goddamn at least its not Wale or whatever the backpackisphere is riding for this month.
What's good spring/summer shit? I wanna know for real! I been off mixtapedx for a minute.

the backpackisphere
backpakistan
shit that was a missed opportunity
that izza kizza track isn't as good as 369

I'm not gonna involve myself in the arguments here, but I finally figured out what that Knux song reminds me of. It's definitely got a De La circa 2000 vibe to it.

-one or two killer MCs (Wale
let's try not to zing ppl who like the cool kids when you're calling a dude who sounds comatose a 'killer mc'
srsly tho ftr i don't think the cool kids are amazing rappers saviors of the game, just for a few young dudes they can flow well and got hot beats imo. more than you could say for wale anyway

-one or two killer MCs (Wale) -some pretty awful rappers getting an amazing amount of hype (Jay Electronica
this is possibly the most backwards shit on this entire thread
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Jay has vocal personality, interesting flow and internal rhyme schemes all over. Wale sounds like his Dad just dragged him out of bed and into the studio so he could lay down some rhymes.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Granted they're both gimmicky to a degree: t/s rapping over 'eternal sunshine' score vs. rapping over seinfeld clips
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:15 (sixteen years ago) link
it seems like no one in this thread is able to be otm about hipster rap (self included) ... everyone's all BLANKET STATEMENT + EXCEPTION but none of them seem like really good tim f. style summations of the 'movement'
― deej, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link
its just so easy to hate and there are so many shitty rappers, this is the kind of shit that would be best on a one-disc compilation. u could call it 'run the road'
― deej, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link
'ronson the road'
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I wasn't trying to zing u J0rdan, I was trying to figure out where and what's zing was directed.
Also, maybe I'm being presumptious about Wale since I wasn't exactly sold on Wale until like 24 hours ago. "Nike Boots" sucks, but there's like 3 or 4 pretty insane tracks on his new mixtape if you can make it through the whole thing.

Or anyone big-upped by fashion magazines and slow-to-pick-up print mags trying to understand kids who themselves are still trying to understand the way we're supposed to listen to music in 2008.
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:23 (sixteen years ago) link
going off the artists whiney brought up:
kidz in the hall and cool kids are the ones indebted in fun times fat beats for driving type rap, kidz in the hall are the more lyrical (or the one dude is at least) of the two, but cool kids success is more built on stacking up rhymes and syllables and just generally flowing, since their kinda inexperienced they kinda stumble over themselves at times but when it comes together (cf opening thread of "black mags") it's great
mickey factz and jay electronica are pretty good, i haven't heard that much of mickey but he seems like he's on like some boho mature common tip (isn't he 30 or something) and lots of songs are kinda jazzy w/ no name wanna be floetry chicks singing. jay electronica sounds kinda like a little bit of madvillain stuff (more dusty boom bappy beats tho?) and a little bit of nas. whiney saying that he's getting hyped cuz of how he dresses is lunacy.
wale's been really jocked but i think he's kind of wack imo-- if anything he's the most creative of the bunch, but that means you also get him doing shit like making a seinfeld themed mixtape (dnw). my main problem w/ him is that he's got the charisma of a desk chair on the mic, but idk he sounded alright over that big band-y fast paced track w/ bun and pusha t so maybe there's hope for him yet. i think ronson doing production for him is kind of a good look actually.
uffie and whoever else (spank rock?) can gtfo
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 10 June 2008 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link
opening thread = opening verse
going off the mickey factz boho thing, i don't mean like granola early common, but like nu-common who "Respects women"
btw not firing a shot at whiney there i just think if anyone of those dudes are hyped for superficial reasons jay electronica is the one who's least
