rolling regional thug thread 2012

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

not saying hes better cuz dr dre in that era holds a special place in rap memory for me, but i dont doubt that kids today feel the same way abt Ross

neanderthal i think you have posted more about meshell than i have this year, but you can definitely shove your ad hominem nonsense up your cunt. quit addressing me. don't even look at me. you're unattractive on the inside

I am beautiful, lex...no matter what you say

aero, you may also wanna check out blow, for da low and push it; all of which are ross at his less monosyllabic lowest common denominator mode
that shit is working well for him at the moment so no surprise he's leaning heavier on it. I happen to like him a bit more when he's a bit campier and seems less serious about the pro wrestling schtick.

so in seriousness, lex, you asked me what my prob with you is. it's not that you have opinions. it's that you spent many days hijacking the Drake thread bitching that people liked the album when you didn't and that they gave too much attention to it and that all of the people who liked it were clearly getting sucked in by the mainstream media (even though the track history of the goons hyping the album refuted that point).

now you're doing the same thing here. like aero doesn't like Rick Ross, but at least I respected his reasoning for it, your responses are all like LOL, HIGH STANDARDS MANG? anytime someone says why they like him. smug, baiting 'lol u like shit music' replies get old real real fast.

go tell that to deej next time his knee jerks about az banks

i think i posted on that drake thread for maybe two days? drake fucking sucks though for real

I've criticized deej several times. there was even a comment from last year where I said his posting style was like Jeff Gordon heading for the wall in a NASCAR race. xpost

at the end of the day tho i trust dude's taste

also i've elucidated my problems with rawse far more than deej has with banks - none of her h8ers here have talked about her actual flow at all, it's all been "ew hipsters ew dance music"

her flow is terrible

^___^

I sware it's legit :)

lol lex u posted on the Drake thread for like 9 days (starting around like 11/10, ending about 11/19)

like this is basically the best thing i've read about azealia pro or anti

http://theremixbaby.tumblr.com/post/13146055905/thesinglesjukebox-azealia-banks-212-9-10

and if you're gonna be anti that's what you have to refute

nice that u keep track xp

all this arguing got me pent up. i'm gonna stab my stuffed teddy bear in the dick now.

you see there's this thing called 'search' xpost

like no one else on ilx posts about artists they dislike smh

i had a huge argument w/ people about the azealia track already & my criticisms included her rap style so idk what your problem is. she's only been brought up here b/c you tried to tell me she was better than rick ross which, lol

sadly i did not read that argument

not sadly for me

i dont really want to talk about her now tbh. I just wanted to talk about how dope the new ross is

Don't we have a rolling dumb neon bloghouse thread to discuss Alzjsjsbd Bank

I can't wait for 212 to make top 5 on the tracks poll

that song sucks, legit thought she was british the first time i heard it

Otm

imo neanderthal should change his dn to "unattractive on the inside"

ok...

"she raps like a classically trained actor might, and that’s a very good thing."

change to:

"that's a very bad thing."

the nas verse on the ross tape is his best (that i've heard) for ages

very glad I was out hanging with La Chat last night instead of taking part in you guys' stupid ass argument about Ross.

i'm having a post argument mimosa
