Yeah but I don't know how much that traveled
I think around 84, 85 you could go to any city and kids were dressing like run dmc & LL
plus nothing on bigger and deffer sounded electro

He's got a great voice. Like a scarface/mystikal mix, but more sloppy. Love the melody on the hook.

i like how it sorta blurs the line between a hymn and being lyrical on a young dro tip
makin discussions with russians and still whippin cookies
or
seats television, the interior jellyfish
me and scoop, hoppin outta two coupes, in two suits, with more o's than two bowls of fruit loops
but it's still this real swampy spiritual kinda thing

lol parts of the video look so strange set against that track
― bass, Sunday, 24 June 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
i love it. like scarface with a lil goodie mob via some grindin'. and yeah def. pickig up on the dro or gucci style lyricism. thank u j0rdan.

i think the disconnect ive felt between the rap i hear & whats hot in nyc has never been more distant. did you guys know 'hands on the wheel' is IN ROTATION in new york?
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Monday, 25 June 2012 05:03 (twelve years ago) link
ha i listen to hot 97 on my phone sometimes & i hear it as frequently as any other song. it's pretty bizarre.

that fat joe/kanye song is pretty dope tho

well they're pushing "goldie" now. which definitely has more traction nationally than "peso" ever had but is still not exactly a smash.
― some dude, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
"goldie" is pretty bad... also seems like it's only marginally bigger than "peso"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 26 June 2012 21:32 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i hate the hook so much
― some dude, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 21:37 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's really bothersome -- someone should let him know that not every one of his singles can have a screwed hook
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 26 June 2012 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
gotta give it to kanye (or whoever figured out the hook) 'lamborghini merci / your chick she so thirsty' is 100x catchier than any screwed asap hook even if thats who they bit the idea from
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 21:42 (twelve years ago) link
5% or something of all rap songs have had screwed hooks since time immemorial, how is it even possible to 'bite' the 'idea' from one recent guy
― some dude, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 21:59 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, does "mercy" directly rip an asap song? i missed that
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:00 (twelve years ago) link
what contemporary acts have screwed hooks right now? name one
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
i won't doubt kanye's desire to rip something off from every hot young rapper but it seems a bit generous to credit the hook on "mercy" to asap rocky instead of the entire sound & culture that it (including asap rocky) is spawned from
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 26 June 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
the-dream has done screwed hooks a bit no?
anyone listened to self made vol 2?
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
I think its evident that bringing a screwed hook in 2012 is a reference to asap, unless youre a texas rapper
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 00:08 (twelve years ago) link
"anyone listened to self made vol 2?"
i did, prolly won't do it again.

eh, it's in every rap listener's vocabulary as much as sped-up soul samples and fucking record scratches at this point (xpost)

A lot of rappers were alive before this year so they might remember ye olden tymes when hooks were screwedethed and chopp-ed.

im not even an asap fan but its obv 2 me that he 'brought back' houston ish to teh cool crowd that kanye is interested in impressing w his b&w lambo merci videos of rappers dancing around in parking garages.

i cant think of a noted critical or charting rapper who's used an S&C hook in a major song in the past several years. cmon. trends come in to fashion & go out again
