I don't like this tape but I also am not a Nicki Minaj fan, non-hipster cred clearly intact

RT, the fact that nobody cares about you except for making fun at your incoherent rambling and speculating about whether or not you're a sockpuppet, does not mean you're right.

hearing "It's a BIG E beat!" on one Owl Pharaoh track just reminds me of Wayne rapping "This is a Big E beat/And I'ma cook this bitch like piggy meat yeeeeaaahh" on Dedication 3. Underrated Wayne couplet

his whole schtick is stolen. 'laflame' is gucci's 'laflare' except stupider. laflare is clearly a play on lefleur whereas laflame is just a bite

I listened to a new Toddy Tee album the other day! It wasn't that good but I'm glad Toddy is still out there doing it.

Isaiah Rashad – Cilvia Demo
haven't listened to a whole lot of rap albums this year but this would be my fav so far
― dyl, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 03:27 (nine years ago) link
It was a slow grower for me, but eventually I stopped thinking of it as a TDE release and it really started revealing itself
― Evan R, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 04:08 (nine years ago) link
I don't think anybody would say this is a new golden age or anything, but there have been several lasting albums/mixtapes this year along with volumes of super lively mixtapes to bid the time between the real head turners. All in all a great time to be a rap fan; every week I feel spoiled
Excited to check out some of those sisilafami recs that I missed. Also gotta revisit the King L, I guess. The Future-ness of it really threw me off (which is odd, since that's not usually a deal breaker for me)
― Evan R, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 04:12 (nine years ago) link
I don't think it's very Future-y at all.
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 04:14 (nine years ago) link
thought the Travis Porter was a little boring give or take "Dope Boi"
Thug and Migos are getting to the point where they could be the next Future type guys radio loves that get used to get other artists a hit, definitely feels like what's being deliberately courted on this tape
― some dude, Sunday, August 31, 2014 3:24 PM Bookmark
Feels like this is true of Thug but not Migos. Have Migos even been on any hits other than their own shit?

jeez rev does the phrase "getting to the point where they could be the next" need annotated evidence, i wasn't exactly making a bold definitive statement

i guess sleaford mods - divide & exit might be my fav rap album this year depending on how you define it
gene the southern child is good, not like super "impressive" or new but it dug into me a bit

haha "hip hop senior citizens react to trap music" :)i'll listen to anything
overall lex this gangsta boo/la chat is pretty cool, couldn't really see it being album of the year in anything other than a super dry year but who knows?

last boo/la chat song is "thelma & louise", as it should be :)
probably my fav
― ra's al goole (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 15:59 (nine years ago) link
oh yeah i liked the king louie tape, don't know why didn't think about it.
also Pyramid Vritra's Palace ep on Stones Throw is really good.
― ANU (sisilafami), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 16:04 (nine years ago) link
Took days for 1 person to even mention the Gibbs/Lib album.
But this stuff:
"YG - My Krazy LifeA-Wax - Pullin' StringsBeatking - GSM 2Shy Glizzy - Young JefeVince Staples - Shyne Coldchain Vol.2Migos - No Label IITravis Porter - Music Money Magnums 2Mouse On Tha Track - Air TimeCommon - Nobodys SmilingDoughboyz Cashout - We Run The City 4"
I got the howling fantods thinking ppl are listening to these albums , are above the age of 20, and look down on T.S album. It's so much better produced that any of this stuff (other than Madlib/gibbs).
