rolling ringtone thread 2008

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

I'll use my real name next time or at some point and destroy all credibility that I may some day have sure why not

you cant just throw around challops with your real name

actually good rappers (jeezy, luda, e-40, gorilla zoe) on the "dey know" single>>>>>>>>the "funny" dude who originally did it

and "what you know">80 more of these>"dey know"

lol dude there are plenty of dudes on ilm alone throwing around challops with your first name. ain't gotta tell us your last name tho

both beats are epics tho, but comparing shawty lo to t.i. as an mc is fucking ridiculous

I never did or would. clearly he's a better rapper but that doesn't mean Units In The City isn't raw like it is

it's like sure jonah hill is no mike meyers but that doesn't mean the love guru isn't gonna be a piece of shit you smell me

pause?

you cant just throw around challops with your real name

so I'm assuming there's gonna be some general disinterestedness concerning the new Wale mixtape?

shit is dope..

http://elitaste.com/blog/2008/05/30/ladies-and-gentlementhe-mixtape-about-nothing

should have posted this link actually
http://www.10deep.com/WALEMIXTAPE/

i posted about that like 2 months ago

well now its actually out???? and you can hear it...but nice job that's pretty like long ago

the Budos band thing at the end is my favorite....Chicago Falcon remix or whatever

i'm pretty posi on wale so far.

honestly right now i'm pretty in love with "american boy" by estelle and kanye...kinda late on that i know but damn that's a nice air conditioned type private jet beat.

thats a great song

i'm kinda digging "hi haters" by maino too! i like those odd NYC one hit throwaway gimmick bangers...seems like the mims of 08

also because i'm down with songs about haters, i'm pretty sure that "haters everywhere" by B.O.B. is my fav hip hop song of the year.

faceless nYc thugganomics but i'm kinnda feeling st. laz:

um ok i guess i'm blogging at this point, but i LOVE this premo beat and this reks guys is cool...i like to hear an east coast dude with some passion in his voice...he's kinda hyped i think that's what the east coast needs...too many low-affect dead-ass hustlers, south stuff has so much more life and personality right now. (right now=this decade pretty much)

"in da street" off young bleed's record from last year is a great summer track
