Finest" is a rote for-the-ladies love-rap, but it also features P singing Kelis and Richard X's "Finest Dreams" on the hook, which is just weird enough to be endearing.
this is SOS band's "the finest", not that whiteboy shit dumbass

man "finest" was sampled on operation doomsday which pre-dates richard x anyway -- youd think he would have recognized that

i kinda think 'workout plan' gets shitted on unfairly but im so tired of that song now that i dont really have much of an urge to defend it
― opinions4usic (deej), Thursday, 8 January 2009 20:30 (fifteen years ago) link
the workout plan video with fonz bentley verse is classic
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 8 January 2009 20:33 (fifteen years ago) link
i always liked "bring me down" but he spit that same verse basically on rap city way before LR over the "stand up" beat and it's way doper
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 8 January 2009 20:35 (fifteen years ago) link
SLU and Drunk aside that list is pretty rong
― some dude, Thursday, 8 January 2009 20:36 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean some of those songs are pretty mediocre but by no means belong on a worst list...and even the biggest 808s defender should be able to think 1 or 2 songs from it that deserve to be on that list.
― some dude, Thursday, 8 January 2009 20:37 (fifteen years ago) link
what's billie jean 2008 like? yeah "see you in my nightmares" is def in the worst 10 kanye songs

"New Workout Plan" is a really fucked up song to consider when you remember that his mother died during weight-loss surgery.

young dro dropping a new mixtape soon
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 8 January 2009 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
haha he did that about the same time last year rite
― opinions4usic (deej), Thursday, 8 January 2009 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
w/ yung la who i am tepidly optimistic about xp
yeah I don't mind his song but Yung LA seems possibly pretty annoying and it'll suck if he gets to drop an album before all the dope artists on Grand Hustle this year
― some dude, Thursday, 8 January 2009 21:04 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah agreed. afaik dro floated some singles out to radio (according to wikipedia at least) but nothing's caught on so we'll see. would be a damn shame if he couldn't get an album out
btw this mixtape is called BLACK BOY, WHITE BOY as in black boy swag and white boy tags
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 8 January 2009 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I want a Grand Hustle comp like Purple Ribbon got purp 2

there was one 2 yrs ago that kinda got ignored in the wake of 'king' but it had my fav dro song on it

what do dudes think of the pitchfork-approved and diplo-mixed paper route gangstaz? the diplo remixes are pretty corny (weezer sample lol) but some of the beats are pretty nice:
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 8 January 2009 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link
i think we all pretty much like those guys a lot - we basically have a thread on them rollin rollin rollin we aint slept in weeks
that weezer sample is a non-diplo remix i think and it's one of their best songs. you should try and find the g-side album "starshipz & rocketz" (we talk about it some in that thread). it's produced by the same dudes who do the prgz stuff
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 8 January 2009 22:09 (fifteen years ago) link
oh duh i recognized that thread title when i heard it in the song
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 8 January 2009 22:10 (fifteen years ago) link
i basically agree w/ what noz said about that mixtape which is -- if you're trying to highlight a crew thats known for its beats rather than its rapping why would u release a CD where you remix their rappers??
― opinions4usic (deej), Thursday, 8 January 2009 22:15 (fifteen years ago) link
nozFlex - I think I mentioned this here before but I don’t really understand the point of that tape. A bunch of inferior remixes of tracks where the primary appeal was the production. It’s like whats next the Group Home remix project?I mean, I get that knowing Diplo probably expands their extra-bama audience by like 100x but that doesn’t mean much musically. Diplo is hot but he isn’t half the producer that BB are. Business wise I don’t think it’s very smart for them to be chasing the hipster/fader/blogosphere dollars just yet either. They need to be solidifying a core audience right now, because hipster love is the most fleeting.

my theory is diplo and benzi are crewing with dudes that will allow them to throw around the term "bama" the same way some crackers with black friends think it's ok for them to drop n-bombs
― some dude, Thursday, 8 January 2009 22:24 (fifteen years ago) link
it's just what they do, it's how they put artists on and give them their stamp. they take people in (south rakkas crew, santogold, mia, etc) and make mixes for them and these mixes always involved a lot of ambitious remixing. that's diplo's MO and in order to get his cosign and that bump of exposure that's what happens. yeah it's different this time because they are known for their beats but it's not like they stripped the whole thing of the beats, there's only a couple remixes on it. it's a collaboration that's all.
