rolling gun sounds thread

it's the greatest song in the world IMO

the whole album - once upon a time in america - is great stuff

am d/ling now based on that one song, so we will see. this is a particular period/strain I am fond of

did he put out a full album? also they had this rap/singer dude named DV Alias Christ that i kinda liked

"life's a 50/50 gamble" is the album

That Wiz RS cover is terrible.

yeah it is -- completely uninteresting

also what is he wearing

an outfit that rafael siddiq wore in like 1999

I think I saw Qaddafi rocking that jacket on the news last week.

sorry matt, somehow missed that

"finally confirmation y'all really don't read my posts!"

Sorry, bad threadiquette.

"it's the greatest song in the world IMO"

Cant really argue with that.

"life's a 50/50 gamble" is the album"
"the whole album - once upon a time in america - is great stuff"

Absolutely, good luck getting a physical of either. Lifes a 50/50 is basically impossible (as it was never officially released), and Once Upon A Time goes for a steep price. Both are dead good. Because it was my entry point for these two, I'll always have love for the Hall and Oates flipped 'My Crew Cant Go For That', which I got from the Nutty Professor soundtrack in 96:

Kinda corny but still gritty with the bars.

Another standout from 50/50:

Bust

mid-april could be a fertile time for real-deal rap albums - PL3DGE is out the 19th and book of david is out the 20th

what is "pl3dge"?

new killer mike

Pretty excited about Book of David myself, bit of a Quik fan-boy myself.

^this; the early cuts are all great

Rhythm-al-ism is my second favorite lp ever.

well shit! awesome. i still think ghetto extraordinary is one of the best rap albums that was never formally released

Killer Mike is also supposed to have an album with El-P coming out this year

woah really? interesting mix there

would not have expected that!

Last Killer Mike I heard was some of that twofer he put out. there were a few good cuts on there (the track with Cube, surprisingly, iirc)

Got that "bigger than hip hop" bass-line groove going on, which is always a good thing.

every rapper is always supposed to be putting out something

"every rapper is always supposed to be putting out something"

Valid.

Just thought i'd alert people to a potentially cool collaboration is all

The G-Side was a physical release, right?

Curren$y - Return to the Winner's Circle is another mixtape that didn't get listed (presumably because the talk of it was on his own thread, not in this one)

squadda b - i smoke because i don't care about life (on mediafire too)

posted about this dude two days ago & just saw this linked on rnt. one of my favourite mixtapes of the year, these kids are insanely creative w/ production, some of which is breathtaking, beautiful. lots of delay & cut up vocal loops, and huge bass. i could see this getting big but i'm not sure if there's room for another group of kids making inspired rap music in a world w/ lil b & odd future

Just realised my fave gun sound track is...

God's Gift verse espesh.

Back on topic... I've really been digging Squadda B's tape after track 5 at least and the first half of the recent Young L tape, it goes a bit shit by the second but this is mixtape land so its expected.

I posted a link to a Clams Casino beat tape on the Lil B thread. It's got stuff he's done for these guys as well as B and Soulja Boy. Really impressive.

a yo jimi, its theShipment.

Been feeling that Squadda B a little. The bass is yanked on the mix, dig that.

these are my favourites in rough order of the tapes i've heard from the big list tpp posted w/ some others that weren't on it. i usually have a hard time keeping up w/ rap releases but i guess i've got a lot of spare time lately because i've heard most of them

yg hootie - flight to the motherland (weird that this is my favourite/most listened to bc in some ways it is kind of weak, but he's a really interesting rapper and i keep coming back to it)
raekwon - shaolin vs wu tang
squadda b - i smoke because i don't care about life
waka flocka flame - salute me or shoot me 3
killa kyleon - candy paint texas plates
gunplay - inglorious bastard
juicy j - rubber band business (thought this was last year)
young l - domo kun
mouse on tha track - swagga fresh freddie
travis porter - music money magnums
tity boy - codeine cowboy

some others i listened to briefly & didn't stick (trae, young dro) but might revisit. avoided gucci 2 times, still haven't gotten around to roach gigz, bricksquad, fiend, lil b

squadda b - i smoke because i don't care about life

gonna download

one song i wanted to share from that yg hootie tape is this one yg hootie - west hattnin which contains the perplexing lyric "i'm just licking and i'm gliding and i'm riding on the pussy niggas/i'm in the club on point & all my boys on point, we gone lick yo ass funk." so lol how it seemingly unknowingly pushes generic homophobia into a bizarelly aggressive threat to lick some dude's ass

oh and the project pat tape should be added to tpp's list, some great stuff on that

I <3 Spottie_Ottie_Dope

i smoke because i don't care about life

Is a bit good, spaced out, a bit freaky but man it sinks in after a bit.

Nice. I do have to say that going from all the visual puns during Wayne's part to none during Corey's just emphasizes how blah his part is in comparison tho.

that video is incoherent shit

gunz verse is an abomination

MAMA LIMA BEAN SURE THAT RHYMES MAMA LIMA MAMA LIMA

the gunz verse is all dazzle & no substance & that makes it worse than if it was some brain dead gudda gudda nonsense

i can't remember if i used this analogy before but it's like gob bluth doing magic on AD -- there's a bunch of smoke, but nothing happens

there's not even that much dazzle -- description applies more to minaj imo

Not to defend Gunz' verse (which I could take or leave - Jordan otm about all dazzle, no substance), but I never understand when rap fans get all up in arms about weird slant rhymes.

weird slant rhymes?

MAMA LIMA BEAN SURE THAT RHYMES MAMA LIMA MAMA LIMA

I notice this is something of a hobbyhorse Al has.

Not that he is the only one.
