Thus far (and just like on HHNF after the new wore off) I'm actually liking Roscoe P Goldchain (?) the most. But then I really dig alliteration, and obv he does too.

dude's "bodies like kill bill" was eventually my favorite verse of the whole record

lol skateboard p's "house is paisley"

i would def. support switching out sandman for roscoe on the re-up starting lineup
― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 19:14 (sixteen years ago) link
"chains on my neck like i'm fresh off the amistad"
0_o!
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
roscoe verses are genuinely scary
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 February 2008 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link
the more i think abt it roscoe is kinda one of the coolest most unique rappers out there, his flow is so distinctive

this line is o_O from scenario 2008:
like pearl jam i kill my foes like jeremy and here i am with open arms like journey
― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 19:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I think a lot of people misunderstood the "Jeremy" video and thought he was gunning down the other kids, not just himself. Anyway line woulda been better if it was "I bit the recess lady's breast like Jeremy."
I hope ethan responds to HOOS's quote with an annotated list of jewelry chain/slave chain punchlines from old records.

me too, actually

i always hunt them shits down
i love how he pronounces jeremy "jerrmy"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 February 2008 19:53 (sixteen years ago) link
the most o_O line for me in the whole thing is "re-up gang in the building tonight/ oh what a feeling selling bricks of white"
kinda way too yucky for my taste.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 February 2008 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link
and it was the specificity of the amistad ref that got me, i'm aware that chain/chain whip/whip double entendres are not exactly the freshest shit out.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link
that's not yucky, it's just a boring subtraction of whatever subtlety or cleverness "Roc Boys" had in the first place.

nah i'm aware of that but it's way too celebratory for my taste (maybe if you heard it it would be more clear).

also btw i wasn't saying that pearl jam line was GOOD, it's funny reminds me of like paul barman or something
― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link
haha yeah I know you weren't praising it, but I assumed you were going o_O for the same nitpicky reason I was (Jeremy didn't kill his foes!)
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 20:15 (sixteen years ago) link
i do kinda like how on a couple tracks pusha's "eugh" is like double/triple-tracked. jeezy-esque.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link
man maybe in the face of how one-note the clipse is, i'm kinda loving the shit outta ras kass kickin' some old school "deep" psuedophilosphical lyrical sci-fi hoo-hah! no one hardly does conceptual joints anymore except nas sometimes or i guess the lupe album (which i haven't heard) has a cheezburger song...but anyway this is kinda dope:

sorta sidenote: anyone download that fixxers bootleg back then? been listening to it lately, and (besides it being totally excellent) the thought occurred that this must be the music pharrell's been thinking he's hearing in his head going into the booth trying to sass over minimal skeletal stuff these past few years. only without a millionth of quik's charisma and wit.
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 22:40 (sixteen years ago) link
case in point! really skateboard p could do this word for word and still just sound punchable, so i dunno what it is tbh.
basically it's just fixxers and 'dey know' for me in 08 2date - and uh, BRRRMbrrmbrrrmBRRRRMMMbrrm HELLOOOOOO BROOKLYYYYYYYN, which has i reckon has developed this sorta cool afterlife outside of the jigga album it never made much sense on in the first place. is it a single or something? i hear it a lot, around in england. it's pretty awesome.

i spent the whole walk home last night grunting along to the "dey know" beat (i started throwing in kung-fu punches once i got on my street and out of the public eye)

also talking of lupe: ray cash, whatever happened to that guy

haha btw was it always obvious to everyone that he's going L-O, L-O dey know dey know and not "hello, hello", cos er i only just realised
this is what british policing/and or old sitcoms will do to you

man, whatever with that dude. "what I'd really like is if The-Dream did a Young Jeezy impression, I think that's something I'd listen to a whole album of."

yeah idk the 8-dude mega-remix of "dey know">actual "dey know"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 February 2008 02:20 (sixteen years ago) link
i actually like 'foolish' better than 'dey know'
what's up with the vocal level? is this the real mix or what?

it just sounds like a bad mp3 rip

seeing as this rolling thread currently has zero discourse you could do a lot worse things than hit the trenches for a shawty lo song
