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

90210 is a zip code, for one

212 is pretty well known as NYC, just like 213 = California

man, this Common album really sounds incredibel

newest one? yeah I really like it

No ID making a much needed return

Knowing what lyrics "scan as new york" means you listened to more than 30 seconds of Alicia Banks without closing your browser window in disgust; so there's probably a TuNeYardS thread you should be posting in, bruh

slept on him this year

whiney, you got the order of capital-lowercase wrong there
also love that you came straight home and got on this thread.

i'm well aware of the zip code/area code distinction, just pretend i said 707, 510, 213, or 504 if it bothers you that much, those are some actually notable rap area codes. i've never heard a rapper rep 212 and i'm not going to bother googling random azelia lyrics. brb though the tuneyards thread has new answers

why tf are u doofuses still talking about her smh

listen to the j stalin i just posted shit is west coast wavy

I love J Stalin. Prenup and Gas Nation are both stone cold classics...and that track is no exception

he looks hella short next to that chick tho

btw they made a t-shirt out of that groaner Mac Miller line about not being a hipster but making your hips stir :(

the micranots were decent

lol rick ross.

lol azeilia 'carlton' banks.

j stalin is dope obv. if ever there is an artist i need to spend more time w/ its that dude.

mock Rick Ross all you want, dude is laughing all the way to Golden Corral

odds on him becoming a future replican presidental nominee

I dunno, replicant technology isn't far enough along yet

TI folds up a little origami crab

thinking about it a bit more i think one of the things i most respond to in a rapper is nimbleness, which is one quality rick ross has none of whatsoever. yeah i loved crunk and lil jon is hardly nimble but the beats were, it was club music first and foremost - the beats rick ross chooses are like elephants sitting on top of elephants
