is rap becoming a dense latticework of horseshit 'mirco genres' like dance and indie? gross
There isn't a mainstream anymore, so p much.
^^^this seems obvious from the last few years...?

if you mean "the monoculture is dead"-type observations are completely tired and not at all worth trotting out like a piercing insight anymore then i agree

could I get some goon rage over the fucking appalling banjo-inflected "99 Problems" that plays over the end credits of Fright Night? I don't give a shit about "99 Problems" tbh but it deserves better than this

uh shakey i wasn't thinking of whatever you thread you're talking about or who started it (maybe i did post on it, i dunno, but i don't remember it either way). my point was that lots and lots of people treat it as a truth bomb these days, so i wasn't referring to any specific example.

Fwiw, I was half-joking. At any rate, why is the niche-ification of rap necessarily a bad thing? (Not to say it's inherently good either.)

I kinda think it's a great thing tbh! at least in terms of rap.

popular music segregating itself into micro-genres... heavens! ;-)

all i know is any & all references to 'cloud rap' are the most annoying thing ever

so is "Sade House" but if it helps ne understand what you're talking abt then whatever \(o_O)/

there will always be a huge variety of different kinds of rap and that will always be a good thing, i'm just saying the way to deal with or appreciate that is not by coining a bunch of stupid 'witch house'-style marketing terms
― some dude, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 01:17 (thirteen years ago) link
otm its basically about advertising the critics / bloggers more than it is about music

ok i hate bloggers and music critics too so i'm with you on that one

i think someone upthread asked about king louie tapes -- im partial to this one:
http://www.fakeshoredrive.com/2011/07/mixtape-king-louie-x-boss-woo-x-sno-boy-hardbody.html/#more-22137
at least as far as gun sounds go
I also forgot to mention Trouble's mixtape in my defense-of-gun-sounds post.

tbh i dont think ppl have really been posting much new shit in this thread lately. I've been out of the loop cuz of IRL struggles but

well his overviews have seemed pretty helpfully comprehensive of high profile/worthwhile mixtapes in general, not just what has gotten a lot of thread discussion

idk there hasn't been much compelling rap music in the past few months -- danny brown, i've been meaning to listen to that sen city tape that surfboards big upped but idk

the schoolboy q you linked me to awhile back was way more up my alley but i dont think that track is rlly too far outside of what we talk about
that said its not striking me particularly

think it's mostly the beat. been heavily into the whole lounge/vocal/choral/jazz/bossa thing lately

this Diamond mixtape has some nice moments imo. she balances pop & rappy raps pretty well
