o i was wondering why no one was repping 'all that money' on that dro thread, why u gotta run over here sarge
song is glorious anyway. i was always gonna like it as a trend but it's really great how rappers seem to be hitting exactly the right summer wistful/cynical note with it most times
(also "on some top 3 singles of the year" strikes me as a completely weird personal barometer but nm)
― r|t|c, Saturday, 23 February 2008 23:39 (sixteen years ago) link
the thought "this might end up being one of my 3 favorite singles of they year" entered into my head idk. is that dro on the hook? no right? i wish though that would be awesome. i guess it reminds me most of 'sensual seduction' in terms of feel, minus the whole t-pain business.
i didn't rep for it on that thread bcuz that thread is embarrassing and i didn't want to bump it

i thought the mixtape was just aight but people are really talking it up so i'm gonna listen to it a few more times

if he releases it as a single i'd be shocked if it didn't make it into the top 10 of the hot 100

some parts of this Carter III preview have me pretty excited, like "Wayne's singing isn't just a run through the T-Wayne ProTools patch, it's chopped up and layered over itself in a dense, alien collage" and 'Hollowed-out and bleepy."

RS: Are you still working on your album? T.I.: Absolutely. It’s called Paper Trail. It’s going great.
RS: How many tracks do you have done already? T.I.: I’ve got about thirty-some tracks done, but I’ve got like sixteen that I’m in love with and I’m still working. After you get those sixteen, you try to make sixteen more to top them and you pick the best.
RS: Who have you been working with? T.I.: I’ve got records with Danja, I’ve got one record so far from DJ Toomp. I’ve got records from Little C and Keith Mack from Grand Hustle Productions, and records from J.R. Rotem and Jay Rock. Quite a few people.
RS: Do you have a sense yet of how this album is going to be different from the last one? T.I.: I don’t know if I can put into words how it will be different from the last album, but I know you’ll definitely be able to tell the difference. The people who I’ve played it for, they say it reminds them a lot of the earlier albums I’m Serious and Trap Muzik. It’s called Paper Trail because for the first time since my very first album, I’m actually writing the lyrics down, pen and pad, old school style. I used to just listen to the music and go in the booth and rap. And now that I’m writing things down, I think it’s a little more eloquent.
RS: What made you decide to start doing that? T.I.: People were saying how they missed the old sound, they missed that I’m Serious T.I., so I figured that I would try to tap into that element.

honestly if Toomp's work on the Jay and Kanye albums is representative of what he's doing now maybe T.I. doesn't need his beats that bad.

the rest of the dudes on the song have this offputting vibe like they like girls with their shit together SOLELY because they don't have to do shit for them, but then boosie shows up with this genuine beavis-y excitement of being out somewhere and getting in with a bunch of 30 y/o women all dolled up on girls night or whatever!! it's great.

K. Sanneh reviewing Lil' Wayne Sunday night in Newark... an excerpt-
“Even bobbleheads tell me yes, yes,” he rapped during “You Ain’t Know,” and he liked the image so much that he giggled instead of finishing the verse.
During one of the astonishing a cappella rhymes, he announced, “I get menstrual/I bleed through the pencil.” And when time came for “Gossip” — one of the few current Lil Wayne tracks that can legally be purchased at iTunes — he snarled the verses (“Don’t believe in me, don’t believe me/I graduated from hungry and made it to greedy”) and then turned girlish to lip-synch the chorus, based on a sped-up sample of the Supremes’ “Stop! In the Name of Love.”

Toomp didn't have any tracks on T.I. Vs. T.I.P. (the only producer that had 3 songs on the album was Danja, and if that's who you mean, then I agree).

as hoos would say, "this webbie album is serious"
I give him props for "kiko" and "dunn" though....those are two of my favorite rap words ever! i loved "dunn" even more after i saw them explain it once, i guess some retarded dude around their way would always mispronounce "son" or "sonnie" like "dun" or "dunnie" and they kept saying it like that.
-- rakim song is okay, hate the hook, but damn i'm always sort of blown away that even to this day ra will always have some real nice bars that make me wanna rewind in every song.
-- does cashis have an album out?? i pretty much like everything i hear from this guy...
-- independent is still the jam
-- 3-6 song, love the beat, subject matter is zzz hey how novel u like getting head and the jabbar line i sorta love, shows their age in a kind of charming way

who are those dudes that make those MS paint diagrams about rap music. is there one yet that's like "cook?" and if you answer no and you are pointed to a box that says "not independent", if you pick yes and you are pointed to the next box that says "clean?" and if you answer no and you are pointed to a box that says "not independent", if you pick yes and you are pointed to the next box that says "smell like onion rings?" and so on?
