#1 south tribute to the westcoast (i can only think of 3 or 4 off the top of my head) and it's not explicit about that and just about the same as any s.l.a.b. track. highly accurate fake westcoast beat like some 1998 fresh and clean b-legit ft wc track, girl singing on the hook about putting bitch niggas in their place. and actually some GANGSTA SHIT, talking about fucking emptying clips instead of incredibly nonspecific but factual 3rd coast bricks movin boasts, I'M IN THE SIX TREY RAG AND BITCH IT DRAG WHEN IT DROP instead of foreigns + brabus or swangs. but like totally coming from street military interpretation of westcoast rather than straight from the westcoast, ridgemont westcoast, southWESThouston. but ummmmm literally claiming cali sets, five-deuce hooooooooover, cuuuuuzzz, blue flags in the lac. love the way boss rips the track with that thin little voice that makes him sound like he's 15 years old and mean as shit, definitely goes the hardest out s.l.a.b., heard he's going to drop a solo underground and join a.b.n. with ro and trae, I KEEP A FO-FO MAG AND WHEN I'M MAD BITCH IT POP (rhymes with last capitalized excerpt). and whatever nasty generic girl rapper the maab are down with right now, HATERS THEY PLOT, WANT IT WITH ME NOT, MAKE YA BODY DROP, ONE BLOW ONE SHOT. (she sounds like yungstar actually! that flow. like she's about to call hol up bwing it back i'm weddy i'm weddy.) trae on the contrast to his proteges, southside fade against beaded braids, somber black with a jesus piece while s.l.a.b. are bluer than a bottle of windex with rags and white tees, slowly explaining the track with the voiceover intro/outro and some stiff verse that reminds me of.... like, a long distance guest verse on an r&b track saying his name is trae and he's down with s.l.a.b. but with more threats and shoutsout to crip sets. WE DO SHIT LIKE THIS ALL DAY EVERY DAY. is anybody ready for trae?

one year passes...

anybody hear 2011's Street King? I think it's pretty sweet. the intro "Strapped Up" is extremely fucking intense, quality double time rapping.

7 years ago waving blue flags on a s.l.a.b. track, 10 years ago on look what you did to me, his voice has just gotten rougher, back of his throat blistered raw, lyrically methodical. always the perfect partner for z-ro's hysterical self-loathing, trae the wise right hand man hoarsely whispering calm down calm down with ro's sherm-scented breath in his face. i've got a lot of time for z-ro, the perpetual loser, wondering if all this bullshit is even worth it, always on the verge of being sucked into the abyss, suicidal need to flirt with fucking himself up, and i relate to that a lot but trae is a lesson in overcoming bullshit, coming up off the houston bubble that gave us weird al chamillionaire collaborations and paul wall in a kanye video, getting banned by houston radio, puts out an album with every major artist in the rap game and he almost dies bleeding in a hospital after getting shot....

i can't say much about the wayne ross zoe wiz lupe records but:
creamy mawkish wyclef joint had me crying in traffic first time i played it.
joyless crispy yo gotti track.
jadakiss and trae would only be a fantasy remix type thing in 2005, when i thought trae was going to be locked into fake west coast blue flaggin for the rest of the decade. misty new york drums and asynchronous piano trill. side by side with jada, lost in the world.
