rolling gun sounds thread

I've been off the thread a little bit. What is board consensus on this?

his ads are all over my bus stops here in SF, no way am I listening to it, looks moronic

no one cares

whiney's berner post just had me choking on a pretzel george bush style

if it's an open secret on ilx that he's a massive weed dealer then i can't imagine that he's long for this world

how else do you think whiney supports his lavish lifestyle?

by being a published author?

hahahahahahahah yyyyyyeah, that's what he WANTS you to think

it really is amazing and mysterious how a shitty rapper is able to collaborate with much better and more famous rappers and capitalize on those associations, i'm pretty sure that's never happened before

before you had to own the source tho

no ones saying its mysterious, its just lol cuz berner looks not at all like a rap star.

its like he won some sort of contest

why would people be discussing theories and rumors about how his career happened if it's not 'mysterious'?

bcuz its funny

like im sure the real reason is boring, its just fun to imagine weird reasons for the origins of a dude who looks like one of the goofy stoners i knew in high school

dont let that keep you from sucking the fun out of it, tho

sorry i just don't understand what "doesn't look like a rap star" means

he doesnt rap like a rap star either.

berner looks like what i imagine sergdun looks like

matt gets a belated "there it is"

ship gets the gasface

i'm just saying -- there are lots of different types of people for which there is no precedent for 'looking like a rap star,' but stoners and/or white trash types are not among them

are you really arguing this

look at a picture of berner & tell me what rap star he looks like

bubba sparxxx? i mean is there anything to this besides 'lol he's white and not very tough-looking'?

he looks more like an overweight a-trak imo

there's a geekiness to berner that bubba didnt have

reminded me of scott storch at first glance

i mean it's not like he looks like aaron carter, pretty much if any chubby white dude with a goatees and a blunt in his hand told me he raps i'd think "of course you do"

but then i'm going off GIS here, haven't seen him in a video or anything

also i didnt think berner was white tbh

if only he had dropped some sort of hint

hint: thats about coke

but i mean even if you assumed he wasn't white i don't know if he'd look out of place as a cypress hill hanger-on or something

well im def incorporating his persona as a rapper / video presence into my interpretation here, which i assumed you were as well so

but i mean even if you assumed he wasn't white i don't know if he'd look out of place as a cypress hill hanger-on or something

thats a far cry from rap STAR which was the original terms we were discussing? berner makes me think of, like, spliff star -- distinctive non-entity -- its like if spliff star had a solo record w/ big name guest verses

in the post-drake/minaj era i don't even know if there IS a rap star profile tbh

so glad pin-up tv stars and women with huge asses finally have a place in rap superstardom

just saying if a guy that looks like Eamon and a black Fanta girl can get on the cover of XXL, the field's pretty open

hint: sometimes rappers use double entndres!

and sometimes they dont? he looked Mediterranean / israeli / arab in some way & assuming hes white bcuz of the album title is presumptuous. 'all white everything' doesnt make young jeezy white either.

regardless, if he is white, comparing him to bubba sparxx because hes white is about as meaningful as comparing eminem to aesop rock

you asked who he looks like, not whose music he sounds like

he doesnt look like bubba sparxxx

dude looks white

almost the color of snow

deej will defend anyone from the bay, even berner

does dude have some crazy back story, like his mom drank too much Mountain Dew while he was in the womb or something?

he's not a dead ringer no but if you're asking for a precedent of "chubby white rap star with a goatee" that's probably the closest you're gonna get

xpost

how am i 'defending' him what is wrong w you

comparing a dude's career to a luckier spliff star qualifies as 'defending' around here

you called him "charmingly bad" which is like the deej version of "pretty fly for a white guy" and then got in a 50 post argument with some dude about how his looks(?) make him some unique rapper entity
