rolling regional thug thread 2012

Im checking you for your bullshit challop opinions that always find an excuse to shit on great major label albums; an opinion tiring from the last 30 years of indie kids doing it.

Were talking about Ross, what are you talking about?

Dude get over your firsties paranoia. I honestly don't know or care if you heard Teflon Don five minutes ago or were in the studio with crab meat man while he was recording it. Saying this tape is better is a complete bullshit posturing opinion

How is this a "bullshit challop opinion"? flockaveli was a major label record I was comparing this to, and this might as well be major label, for all intents and purposes

Lmao dude, having an opinion is "bullshit posturing position" now? Take a valium

Most consistent high-profile rap lp since flockaveli

seems to be the case, teflon don is dope but he has improved even since then as a rapper & performer. its true teflon don has prime lex luger & kanye but the production on this is extremely strong

Major label records are mastered

so are you saying this will be as good as td when a nodj cdq of this drops?

rick ross beats sound expensive

this record sounds mastered to me \oO/

but im just listening on koss porta pros

regardless, the notion that mixtapes can never be as good as LPs is total bullshit. i'm not trying to be 'indie' here, sometimes i love major label lps, sometimes i prefer mixtapes, in this case imo the mixtape wins out

he has improved even since then as a rapper & performer

Lol yall keep telling yourself this #fillingavoid

lmao

itd be easier to take you seriously if you didn't think azealia banks was better than rick ross off one campy hipster dance youtube

dude ANYONE is better than rick ross. reema major is a better rapper than rick ross. so is andre nickatina. so is na'tee. so is young bleed. it's not hard! "better than rick ross" = "adequate"

well by anyone obv i don't mean drake or 2012 kanye/jay-z

everyone's taste is terrible in 2012

it was all good just a week ago

man I never feel less in touch with what's up than when I hear any of you guys praising Rick Ross as a rapper or a point of interest at all. I tried. I listened when he first came around and I try every time he comes up with something new. straight garbage, bad writing, bad rapping, dull character, I don't get it. to hear dudes who legitimately love live & breathe rap praising that dude is like hearing guys who saw Glenn Gould play saying "you know who else is good on the keyboard, John Tesh"

^^^^^^^^^^

don't you think the same about jeezy? maybe it's something about overweight breathy types rapping over those grandiose synthy productions

hip hop hooray

hoooooooooo

he can write verses, he's got a gift for theatrical imagery, but really end of day it comes down to Bangers, and he makes huge ones. It just makes other dudes songs sound tiny in comparison. this is massive blockbuster rap music, it just bulldozes everything else

"King of Diamonds" is probably the most epic Luger-esque beat yet

otm xpost

mmm, the idea of rick ross being able to make a banger half the standard of say "what you know", that does all the things you're pretending he can do.

"he can write verses" again with the high standards!! #fillingavoid

what an embarrassing series of posts for you

why are you embarrassed?

Ross is about both volume and economy all at one. You guys sound like Rush fans making fun of Flipper.

Ross is about both volume and economy all at one

soooooo his selling point is that he's loud + basic. riiiiiight

seems to be your posting style and we still let you on the rap threads

man I just went and listened to "B.M.F." I mean...he is just a horrible rapper. the comparison isn't Rush to Flipper, it's Flipper to Rhino 39. "Who?" you say. Exactly.

lol xpost

also no way, aero

like how a guy who loves rap as deep as Whiney can rep in any way for this is like just deeply confusing to me. I like math-metal and I like bonehead death metal and a lotta shit in between, but that doesn't mean I gotta like bands who suck & are awful. I'm not even trying to be contentious it's just like when I hear actual encyclopedic-rap-knowledge cats riding for Rick Ross it really is like seeing people eat a Happy Meal and going "you gotta admit, this food is excellent, really good food here at McDonald's"

Ross's voice is awesome and it's not like he's still doing "boss/ross" rhymes anymore. guy isn't a lyrical mastermind but he drops catchy couplets, and has a knack for catchy choruses.

those big luger joints aren't my favorite ross eithern try my favorite ross song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyJ-I88nFdo&ob=av2e

or his verse on the new juvenile single - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUQ1gJcu9Dc

if you don't like either of those you prob won't like any ross

he drops catchy couplets, and has a knack for catchy choruses.

again with the high standards

dude, smug dismissals are so 2010. go back to your me'shell ndegeocello rimjob thread

fwiw i've heard ross sound okay on a few far-and-in-between tracks, but for the most part i find him as enjoyable as waka flocka, which is to say not.
aero, try this:

also, the degree of temptation i'm suppressing right now to rename this thread "rolling me'shell ndegeocello rimjob youtube thread" is INTENSE

xxxpost like seriously, what is with this 'high standards' stuff? it's not like anybody has said "well, Ross is better than most of the other mainstream rappers out there" or any other watered down defense that focuses on the lack of bad qualities rather than presence of good ones. Even saying he "writes good verses" was lampooned. isn't writing good verses a prerequisite for a quality rapper?

Since when do all rappers have to be technical wizards to be enjoyable? Ross as a lyricist doesn't even remotely scrape the top in the genre, but I enjoy his lyrics, simplistic as they are. If his lyrics were all inane boring shit, nobody would see the big chasm of difference between Trilla and the stuff he makes today (I do like Trilla tho).

*cue someoen saying "OH, BUT THEY ARE INANE BORING SHIT", then die a little inside*

lol what is w/ lex and STANDARDS
u lil rockist u

RICK ROSS WRITES HIS OWN SONGS

Rick Ross is enjoyable the same way Dr Dre was circa 2001.

there's also a similarity in the importance of economy & hugeness
