rolling gun sounds thread

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

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

youre being mad pedantic today. this argument is getting idiotic so im stepping out of it but Berner is a funny-looking weirdo who lucked into a successful career somehow & that is amusing & interesting to me, there isnt really an easily-notable precedent that i can think of & certainly hasnt been one mentioned in this thread, which is why jokes about his origins are funny

good lord u can suck the fun out of anything

im certainly not responding to that level of pedantic idiocy from whiney

this argument is getting idiotic so im stepping out of it but Berner is a funny-looking weirdo who lucked into a successful career somehow & that is amusing & interesting to me

yes

there isnt really an easily-notable precedent that i can think of

no

oh ok, he's a funny-looking weirdo. yeah, never been a famous rapper like that ever.

so....

Ed OG is still around! and he has a new song with M1 of Dead Prez

love the nostalgic jazz piano + bongos beat, real nice, i really like statik selectah alot

lol @ the disingenuousness here surpassing even "if a television soap star can make it in the music industry, surely a flat-footed greek immigrant-looking weed dealer is mere seconds from rap superstardom"

lol @ end to end berners

lol @ flat-footed

imo berner looks very much like a specific kind of wannabe rapper, but not the kind of successful one who ends up getting big krit on his debut solo LP & tons of PR & attention

lol @ end to end berners

otm

so all of the hundreds of rappers currently at Berner's career level or higher fit a certain profile or 'look like a rapper' in some basic way? that just seems like a weird idea to me.

it's like saying a guy in a successful band who has short hair "doesn't look like a rock star," feels very outdated to even pretend there's some narrow criteria for looking the part anymore

narcissism of small differences etc

i think its p interesting that lady gaga and ke$ha aren't what anyone would call traditional "knockouts" like madonna or kylie or whatev

i would say that many successful rappers strike me as 'successful for a reason' even if i dont love their rap style i.e. wiz. berner is like the anti-wiz

some people seem like stars, some dont. berner seems to have outgrown his image

yeah maybe the difference is i couldn't begin to guess or care why most Berner-level rappers are as successful as they are

the thing with berner is that he picks better beats than your favorite rapper (not assuming your favorite rapper is nas)

there is kind of a small-scale rick ross thing to him, where hes punching out of his weight class (very much figuratively, obv, in both cases)

straight dope

would kick it with these guys

the wikiwest

totally feeling 'moonlight' from the new jacka album jammmmmmm

once a young dealer young n!gga that the cops chase
only wear black these days cos i lost taste
surrounded by the night life, remember we ain't like life?
now we can't sleep cos we feast (?) in the moonlight

<3

jacka is like the king of the understated chorus

I like me a reggae hook, when they actually work, this works.

that's awesome, kinda a 2K11 luniz vibe :) :)

def. making 'zan with that lean' the centrepiece of my next fruity youtube dj set

yeah that nht is the shit

yeah, listened to it like five times in a row and pretended it was sunny out

nht boyz are my favourite thing in rap right now by a good distance still listen to power triangle more often than any other release from last year. their feel for pop rap & hilarious voices & sense of humour, doesnt get better imo

they are a v well balanced group in terms of goofy fun & realness & silliness & musicality

y'all missed an open goal here:

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