xp, bada$$'s 1999 came out on January 1; it's got several stinkers (particularly the pro era crew cypher) but lotsa quality

I thought 1999 was his first mixtape, from a few years back?

i'm late to badass as i just FOUND that 1999 mixtape at the start of the year. the new one is due out in about two weeks i guess?
― shmup....smug....shmub....shmug.... (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 8 January 2015 18:57 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I remember enjoying 1999 when it dropped but then quickly getting tired of the anachronisms.

when sounding super 90s was more of an accidental casual thing & less of an intensive result of peter rosenberg and statik selektah's misguided consultation it was a lot more bearable

i said this on twitter but even though this song is like the anti-'next to it' it pts to one of ty's great strengths as a collaborator which is to emphasize & enhance the other artist's core essence, rather than trying to fight it or contrast with it

Is there any kind of origin story about how YT and RHQ teamed up? How much of a factor was Birdman? (research question)
― longneck, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:46 (nine years ago) link
they definitely were collaborating before Rich Gang
― some dude, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:49 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I know that Get TF out my face is from before they became Rich Gang but I'm guessing Birdman made a business decision at some point anyway? Or did they show up at his door fully formed?
― longneck, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:51 (nine years ago) link

Cheers flopson. That looks like, a great start. It's crazy how I know all that stuff on the 05-06 lists and then after almost nothing... did I change or did the music? Something I ponder a lot
― Hungry4Ass, Saturday, 17 January 2015 21:23 (nine years ago) link
i think a lot of ppl lost interest in rap around that time. at the turn of the decade there was a lot of speculation by certain critics (simon reynolds, sfj in partic) that hip hop had stagnated. deej made an imo classic mix that's probably still out there somewhere rebutting that argument. in hindsight i think it's clear 08-12' was a transitional period. many of the people weren't sold on gucci mane (the one rapper many held up in 09 as an example of rap's vitality) are now very enthusiastic about the generation that were influenced by him (critical love for migos, etc.) of course not everyone is down with where that transition has lead us (whiney g, for example) but it at least feels like there is more optimism and positivity about rap right now than any pt since i started reading rap blogs & keeping up with the genre

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (Rick Ross, Step Sisters, Drake, DonMonique, RJ & Choice) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
