jk lazy zing i like peso
"big spender" is shit. i like "goldie" a lot but i think theophilius london is so fucking boring. at least rocky has some presence and memorable delivery.
even the freeway song was bad and that was on a great album imo
between theophilus and all the ASAP ppl, they will be present at nearly every "important" night life moment and/or pre-show dj set this spring and summer, so you can assure that that song will get play.
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
if you're looking for some ny-centric media conspiracy to make a rapper popular, the proof is theophilus.he has like 3 sponsorships, with brands like vitaminwater and bing, and those brands have partnerships with every media source in this space. they're basically obligated to post his corporate-subisidized tracks and videos and flyers and shit
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
i dont really care abt asap's media-propelled buzz any more, once he broke through to national recognition it kind of leveled off, and I'm not sure I see him being able to deliver on the buzz so I'm sort of rooting for dude in a bizarre way
that said i think 'goldie' is pretty average, even the beat.
― man down (D-40), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i agree -- for a HIT BOY COLLABO it's just all around underwhelming
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
i think the collaboration worked for the same reason "n-s in paris" did - asap is way better at carrying a track by himself because he loads them with all the mini-hooks that make a song hit with audiences now. his good songs are very smart bc they hit with crowds at exactly the right moments, with the sort of topography that ni99as in paris had. little bite-sized hooks that come in at reliable intervals
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
thats why when someone like schoolboy q or theophilus london come in - it breaks his momentum. those songs will never be big like his others
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
"take 1" w/ main attraktionz is one of his best songs though
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
yeah "goldie" is definitely not as good as "peso" or "purple swag"
― hologram ned raggett (The Reverend), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
or like half the songs on live love asap
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 April 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i don't see the big deal about "goldie"? i mean it's aight...
― heiswagger (rennavate), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
purple swag wasnt really good either tbr

curious what ppl think of this. i kind of love the contrast b/w fatz's total dead-eyed flow & the lushness of the production, its a good contradiction
2nd verse is not my thing tho

he just put "the body snatchers" out last month, it's pretty good.

it's alright, just crammed with really average sex raps. it's weirdly nothing like its artwork.

yeah when count bass d's first album came out with t-boz tried to talk to me that single got talked about in the source, love that album...
but i kinda lost touch with the rest of his career for some reason
― Mississippi Butt Hurt (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 19 April 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link
the dwight spitz album is great, art 4 sale is all time for me.he's got a LOT of albums on spotify including a full length from last year; probably time for me to reembrace.

obsessed with pluto but that kels joint sticks out like a sore thumb. it's good tho. album reminds me a bit of 'the state vs radric davis'. not musically really, just a rapper managing to pull off a major label debut properly. spot on guest apperances. track with trae is so great.
