rolling CORP low bar just to appear hip to teens thread 2015

how much of it is a mentality of "they're on the radio, they're clearly doing fine and don't need my money" vs "i should support this independent artist whom i love"?

tech n9ne and atmosphere also sort of cultivate their own loyal audiences in the same way ICP does, atmosphere has a big 30K ppl festival every summer where they bring in big acts and then headline it, gathering of the yuppalos kinda deal

lol

was pulling representative spotify tracks for both artists and was shocked by atmosphere's play numbers: 1.5 mill listens for his 2014 single on an album i didn't see discussed on ilx once.

haha wait so all i have to do is say "Papoose" and you add one of his songs to the 'official' thread Spotify playlist? this is gonna be fun

Lol

not quite. It's only if it contributes to the conversation and provides context

Since maybe 65% of the music we talk about is actually on spotify won't it just confuse that process

nah.

let me contribute to this conversation, deej. to put this idea in proper context, for every Fonzworth Bentley who may have limited amounts of music available on Spotify, we'll likely mention several artists like MC Chris or Vanilla Ice who have most or all of their catalog streaming.

is spottie still doing his list?

there are some missing from spotify but kinda surprising how much is actually there, especially mixtapes.

a lot of this stuff shows up months after the fact; for this thread and the techno/house in particular, I'm likely to cycle back in a few months and check to see what's been upped
I mentioned this in the project page, but i'm well aware that the immediacy, widespread popularity and low cost of entry of hip hop as opposed to other popular genres means that a beast as big as spotify is ill served to keep pace with what's au courant. anybody looking to keep a day to day record is gonna find soundcloud/youtube lists more effective here for certain.
that said, spotify does manage about 50% to 60% even here and that number is steadily increasing... and more to the point, I'm not insane enough to want to manage multiple media streams.
and while i wouldn't want to interfere with the popular "lol forks" sentiment, it might be worth considering that it's more an opportunity for regular posters here to broadcast the things you care about (that happen to be on spotify, yes) to an audience that can't otherwise find the thread or leap directly into the fray. 19 people subscribed immediately.

the @mctreeg ep IS on spotify btw and "probably nu it" ended up as one of fave singles of the year.
good example of the limitations of that service though: the bio for Tree lists him as a hardcore punk/alternative metal band and there appears to be at least four artists included on the artist page.

Wasn't this at the end of the 36M/Juvie joint? That track is classic for real.

'that'll work'? had no idea that was an average homeboy sample

This is kinda like a squarepusher track, I dig it

Has anyone listened to the new Young Scooter tape? I've liked a couple tracks but I'm skeptical of the prospect of listening to 19 Scooter tracks in one go.

i wonder what the thought process was in naming himself "Tree"

it's like you pretty much guarantee you will never be a big artist

and this is coming from a guy who was in a band called "Unbelievable Jolly Machine" in the '90s

i dunno. don't think it's that out of the question that a rapper with a generic noun mononym could be a big star. maybe he'd pick up a more search-engine friendly variation on the name along the way, though.

Lamp feat. Tree - "Money (Pencil remix)"

ok i've been resisting posting this, but i am weak and i'm curious how it sounds to goon ears:

He's released so many songs since then, top in the trash wouldn't even make my top 25 tbh

beast mode sounding amazing to me right now

i like this new meek single

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9f6s9DxkyQ

ferg kinda throws the vibe off but this is a good look for meek, something rappity rap but still pretty fun

third verse should be drake ._.

unfortunately Drake is currently giving Meek the silent treatment over Nicki and in 6 months will finally blurt out "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!"
