The reason I brought up Biggie is bc he has such good eye for details & also the way his words fold together w/ these perfect rhymes, very precise

never really bought off on a full album of Mac Dre although every album seems to have plenty of outstanding cuts.

I liked Mac Mall's Illegal Business a little better than any Mac Dre album I heard

Kev you are you up you have one day to report or we skip to sisilafami
― Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Thursday, 31 July 2014 17:59 (ten years ago) link
Thanks to Sisilafami's rec, I've been heavy on the A-Wax album. He's a deceptively good writer. Also, unrelated but very impressive is the RATKING 'So It Goes' album from a few months back. Surprised to see no ILM traction.
― viacom dios, Thursday, 31 July 2014 18:40 (ten years ago) link
Sorry, thought I was in the Rolling Rap Bro thread. But I'd nominate A-Wax 'Pulling Strings' if dylann's game.
― viacom dios, Thursday, 31 July 2014 18:42 (ten years ago) link
if dk isn't weighing in on the jacka i'm picking another one get kev out the paint

Solid job blocking out by deej who secures the rebound...

Can we revive? I don't want to jump the line but there's so much good west coast rap right now! Mostly, though, I just love to read Dylann.

If dylannn needs/wants out (which it sounds like he does) then we can transfer the thread to sd, if he wants in.
― Spottie, Friday, 17 July 2015 20:03 (nine years ago) link
I just scanned to see what was mentioned. Feel like I know a ton more 90s West Coast stuff now than I did back when this thread was active. A recent great discovery was South Central Cartel's All Day Everyday.

Recently I've been listening to Welcome to the Navy by DB tha General and Heroin Music by Lil Blood, not classics like most of the stuff mentioned in this thread but both really good.

yo it would be great if al^somedude could do the bulk of the listening and commenting work and i could just assist him.

No one weighed in on jack artist so I'm switching mine to sacramento's own Mozzy and I guess his most recent album "bladadah"

and so blankfaced violent, dispassionate violent. violence as the core of the whole thing, not part of a dope game organizational capability to defend (opening track quotes ) and convincingly threaten or streets is chaos stay strapped or you might be taken under. just every hook KILL A NIGGA ROCK HIS ASS WITH THE SEMI-type thing ("cold body" ft kunta) mozzy has like this ultra hd first person shooter feel, hunting through the streets with like the album cover ak dripping blood. KILL HIM ON SIGHT / RISK DOING LIFE / MIGHT BE ABLE TO WIGGLE IF THEY DO IT RIGHT ("body 4 body"). especially without the backstory, the story about meaningless local beef oak park mack road vines of guys getting stomped at the mall, it's technically good with the flow and clean dark beats but the impression can be of mozzy as death squad middle manager, leading a morning pep rally to a team of shooters in khaki slacks and polo shirts leading a chant of NIGGA I KILL EVERYBODY ("nike" ft nelco). there's no specific target just corpses and the ones that got away for now. without cracking a smile showing much humanity, even on the tracks he's supposed to just bleak loading up the clip emptying the clip loading up the clip emptying the clip, putting the 40 in true religion jeans and going to sit outside someone's mama's house. rating: it's okay, technically proficient flow without any idiosyncrasy or much emotion. few guests offer shot of personality to bleakness. not really my thing.

thanks dylannn. always love your posts. now i wanna hear mozzy. can i go way obvious and suggest vince staples 'summertime '06'?
