most consecutive posts by the same poster in ILX history y/y?

probably luriqua in the lookin boy thread

'cop hell' is this hot EPMD style bassline funk

Got kinky with her, told her to dress up like a lawyer
I was the judge last night I gave her all the orders
Worked it real good, turned her round doggy spawled her
Told her if I gave her anymore I’ma have to charge her
Felt the vibe in the room, the feelings getting larger
Took her from the bench now turned her into a starter
Taste like suga, smell like water
Now she into goons, all off what I taught her
What I do to her make her care about me harder

thought maybe those were nighthawks lyrics

goons is a dead give away

can we call it 2009 rolling goons thread next year plz

ringtone dudes, what do you think of the track 'nobody' here.

^^^^i assume you guys heard the original version of the 'nas is like' sample?

kidz in the hall- "drivin down the block" is great

better than anything cool kids have done i think even tho i like ck better

good use of sample too

In the plus column, they make music that sounds like old rap music, and old rap music is better than new rap music. The only reason rap music stopped sounding like old rap music in the first place is girls and white people. In the minus column, the Cool Kids barely have an EP out, and they're already showing a shortage of good ideas. That whole southern rap except it's not actually southern thing was kinda cool the first time they did it (okay, it wasn't), but it shows up like eight more times during the course of this EP. It's like, alright, we get it. You're ironic. What else can you do?

not crazy about the cool kids necessarily but gawd

aight ethan jr are you gonna tell us where that is from now

It's like, alright, we get it. You're old. What else can you write about?

that's Bol, the Rakim of rap blogging

oh

talk about the definition of not worth your time

im totally on the cool kids bandwagon in any event

i only really like the EP, but the beats are pretty uniformly hot and each dude has some really exceptional spots wrt to rapping. they are still inconsistent but for dudes in their 20s on their first EP i think they're worth the investment

i saw them like two or three weeks ago and they absolutely murdered in front of a shit load of people who were really really hyped to see them (weirdly) and those dudes can rap their asses off for real

by worth the investment i mean i think they've shown that they've got a lot of good ideas, and maybe it's backwards to praise them for being able to transcend the box they constructed for themselves but i still feel like that

the only thing is, i think the newer songs on the EP are the weakest and i don't think it bodes well that their full album is coming out in 3 months or something

yeah their whole thing so far has been handled very weirdly with releases and labels and shows and stuff who knows what the fuck is going on or how long they will last in the hype limelight

also my post was either gonna be the cool kids or the new Rick Ross and Pharrell joint which is LIKE NEW HOT PRE CARTER III FIRE MUSIC but no one else will be feeling yet or ever and thank god for another ross album or more "how great is II Trill?" etc...soo take your pick

I got this 89-90 Pistons champ flat bill black starter cap with the hologram tags
White Mag rims, red rubber tires,
chain, frame, pegs, grips, shipped to my supplier
dope man attire, gimme bout an hour
and i'll have it clicking, ticking, gliding, flying like McGuyver

^^one of my favorite parts of any verse this year

another ross album really?

go bump by "put on" thread

do you still not like that song?

no. it's really pretty amazing it had to grow on me... shit is epic. but I'm trying to do the same for "Got Money" and it's coming a little bit harder...considering that the joint is gonna be inescapable in a couple weeks I guess I won't have to try that hard

we're all really just living in a CMR-enforced purgatory right now cuz Carter III is about to leak any day now and shit is going to be over like for all of 2008

im not going to listen to it until i buy it bcuz i'm not about to trust any leak

fuck the cool kids

speaking of rappers still in their 20s im gonna see T.I. next month at a venue that fits 3k

the problem w/ the cool kids is that they're way too hyped to ever put out a king or a carter II or an idk i'll sleep when your dead (or w/e artists have peaked with albums 3 or 4+ into their career) when people still care about them

thank god they'll never put out an el-p album

el-p > the cool kids

also 'i'm serious' > anything the cool kids will drop.

right i'm not saying that they are ever going to release anything as good as king or carter II (two of my favorite albums of the decade) or whatever just that they're already caught up in this huge indie hype tornado that makes it impossible for bands to put out their best album 3 or 4 albums in (see: tapes n tapes)

Shawty Lo's album > King and everything he's done besides maybe Trap Muzik

it's kind of uncharted water for a rap group. i mean even if saigon's album was total shit there'd still be enough ppl checking for him in ny that if he put out a really really good 3rd album he still might get some shine. i don't think that's possible when your whole audience is made up of people who go to sxsw

omg fucking ban

AND as someone who's written a favorable review of the cool kids for an online webzine i can't say that i'm not contributing but such is the world that we live (write) in i guess

and when yr appeal is based on where a small niche audience's head is at as far as rap fashion (i.e. sounding vaguely like the clipse, rapping about different kinds of bicycles, wearing dookie ropes) rather than actually being good/interesting at rapping

see i think their whole aesthetic is pretty rad + i think they can rap but yah i mean they got a lot of fucking fans who like them cuz of how they dress

im ignoring chinchillas challops

chinchallops

p12 (can i use your real first name <--- this shit is annoyin) im actually not even mad at you for saying that units in the city is better than all t.i. albums, instead i pity you for sitting through a shawty lo album

DID YOU SEND SHAWTY LO T.I.'S YEARBOOK PICTURE

PREVIEW OF THE MATRIX 12 IS NOT FROM BANKHEAD

not really that challenging of an opinion King is an overrated boring piece of shit album with a bunch of guests and typically boring Just Blaze beats etc....obviously it has one of the dopest singles but so does LO
