rolling regional thug thread 2012

he doesn't need to deliver groaners because he is a groaner

I don't see what his bedroom mannerisms have to do with anything

Rick Ross fandom is the most baffling thing in the world to me. Who knew that hip-hop was yearning for its own version of Poison?

this is the most brutal takedown

What's wrong with Poison?

haha i know right.

ship doesn't fuck with poison :(

I think he also compares well to Creed - rock for when you sort of can't tell the difference between Jimi Hendrix and Pat Travers

quick, what's aero's next "majorly respected dude vs. majorly unrespected dude" dichotomy

Whiney vs. Brad Nelson

Whitney Houston vs Gunnar Nelson

Hansen vs. Gunnar Hansen

creed owns

I feel sick

lmao @ jordan nitpicking. stalley is fine on his tracks, and i think that guy is pretty boring. i don't know what krit would really do better. he'd be more distracting, probably

went back and listened to teflon don today, i still don't think it's that great a record outside of the (obviously awesome) couple of singles. IMO this is a better record

haha i know right. i have a hard time imagining even like the most clueless middle school kid genuinely LOVING rick ross and his music the way you know millions feel or have felt about wayne or tip or jay etc. ross reaching this level of success as kind of a genial collaborates with everybody isn't better than any of them jolly fat man figure just cements how cynical this whole era of rap is.

wau, gucci-esque

the triumph of ross as bangers over everything is a-ok by me

agree with this but i think theres a bit more to it than bangers over everything, imo the raekwonesque namedropping of luxury products over string samples is a crucial counterpart to the relentless bangers. also theres a humour to his epic imagery that carries the bangers by not having the tone be too bleak or monochromatic, which at its worst is confounding ("bitch i got 8 balls") and at its best absurd hyperbole ("talkin to the holy ghost/in my buggati")

apparently she's from harlem! who knew

um, everyone, considering how she named her track "212"

flopson i don't mean bangers as in literal like lex luger beats, i just mean dope rap tracks overcoming everyone's collective unwillingness to take him seriously

agree with that obviously

apparently she's from harlem! who knew

okay but then why does she rap the entire thing with a british accent?

it does kinda sound like it could be a sarcastic 'lol i'm repping noo yawk bruv' thing the way she delivers it

i don't know, but any of y'all that heard her make repeated references to new york ("212", "two-one-zoo", "uptown A") and thought she was british are straight retards, sorry

none of those code as new york to me, idk

anyway she sucks who cares

haha none of those "code" as new york to me, says kevin k about the song being titled after manhattan's area code

k3v have you ever been to new york

have ANY OF YOU BEEN TO NEW YORK

ah cool apparently she lives in montreal

lol

i dont have 2 know where new york is 2 vote 'empire state of mind' #1 in p&j imo

i'm not saying i thought she was british, just that a casual scanning of that shitshow of a song could plausibly lead one to that idea

k3v have you ever been to new york

ha yeah I dont have its area codes committed to memory tho. and i haven't really listened to the lyrics or anything. just going by her voice

xp yeah and then knowing lex liked it i just assumed

2 dope records have dropped since the new year, the Ross & I Self Devine's new tape

http://rhymesayers.com/iselfdevine

very difft records, obv

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBYAMjXBdA8

if you're not familiar, this is one of my fav songs off of his mid-00s record

listening to this new one, nice call, this is great

he's dropping 3 mixtapes in the next 3 mo. in the lead-up to a full album release. this first tape includes production from alchemist & oh no

"production from oh no" is batsignal to dudes like me, awesome

i think what really makes it work is that i just like i self devine more than most dudes who seem to work w/ this kind of production. he strikes me as being a supersmart dude, his time not involved doing music is spent in like community leadership & etc., & he just has a good rapper's voice

this isnt the kind of thing that will appeal to brainwasher or jordan s, most likely, but I think it's a lot stronger than the typical boom bap type shit the true school dudes rep for

are we really supposed to hear "212" and think the ny area code automatically? it's not like 90210 or something, i've never even heard it in association with the city. those other references are even more moonspeak to me. mind you im on the west coast and thoroughly underwhelmed by azealiea's whole shtick
