rolling gun sounds thread

hey, who wants to play dominoes?

they don't call it cloud rap for nothing

All this Main Attrakionz/G-side/Lil B/Cities Aviv clammy clam Altered Zones rap is like one pubic hair away from PM Dawn.

lol this is otm but that's what I like about G-side, the stoned hippies staring at clouds sound

Oh my god there's a This Heat sample on the Danny Brown. Game fucking over.

Please bloggers keep jacking off over the fact that Tyler knows who sneaker/T-shirt designer Ian Curtis is

agree w/ whiney re cloud rap, i cant get into most of this stuff. the one tape i thought i liked, turned out my fav song was a Pimp C beat Id forgotten about :-/

these dudes just cant write songs, shit is basically indie rock obsessed w/ ~atmosphere~

there are obv some songs that pull this off but they are rare. i am into the kendrick lamar despite it being a bunch of impulses i'm against in theory, i think he pulls it off

Yeah, I like the less cloudy stuff on the Kendrick. But the Black Hippy tape kinda murks it. Whose fault is this? Wiz?

is "queens get the money" off the nore mixtape an original beat? i really love it.

(that's a mixtape i've been bumping all summer, prob quietly become my favourite of the year)

wiz is largely responsible for this, yeah. i almost want to blame young money for some of the shitty rapping but i'm not sure even i buy my own theory there
xp

yes, wiz is a big touchstone for some of the more normal side of cloud rap

otherwise... idk, flying lotus? idk what clams casino listens to. maybe we can blame this on microhouse?

anyway a lot of the stuff whiney brings up has its merits

also danny brown is not really this

No one said it was, especially not whiney

lol @ blaming microhouse, p sure the only connection is ilx user 'deej'

seems to me its more Drake-related. maybe dudes getting into boards of canada? could it be chillwave, lol?

Zola G-Up

last name "ever", first name "chillwavest"

yeah this is definitely drake + khalifa + kudi/808s kanye

anyway I tried listening to Main Attrakionz but the first song samples GLASSER so I had to turn it off and listen to some M.O.P.

Forgot Cudi!

cudi is a huge one for sure

i would probably say wiz is the least influential of that triumvirate bw listed

not sonically

the kendrick album is pretty much a direct descendent of 'kush & oj'

yeah this is definitely drake + khalifa + kudi/808s kanye

^bingo yeah this is what i was trying to get at

the kendrick album is much diff than main attrakions tho

yeah I don't really get why Kendrick is being included in this convo

I mean I guess certain songs on his record are "spacy" but I don't see him as a part of this movement at all

thats like, prog-pop-rap like lupe or BOB style wedded to drake w/ some wiz in there too. wiz's stoned melodic sound is a lot closer to max b (who he's claimed as an influence, and i hear it in song construction tho not rapping) than the kind of listless ~vibing~ i hear from main attrakions

eh but who knows

kendrick's tendencies are all ones i dislike in rap, its amazing that i like that lp as much as i do

i talked about this whole thing sorta in my review of "adhd"

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12262-adhd/

main attrakionz are sorta their own subset & it's a bit harder to trace bcuz so much of the sound goes back to "i'm god"

proto-cloud rap?

^ would sound right at home on Kendrick's album

oh for sure. even the corny pop hooks of latter-day lupe are on that kendrick record (and somehow come out much more listenable than lupe)

me like Lupe's first two albums ;_;

i like some joints on them too.

where does GRIND MODE-type rap fit into this

yeah me too, but I really like EARLY mixtape lupe... shit like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHktuhXi904
(this song is crazy... on some Desert Storm/Fabolous-type shit)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9sjpmujySk

yeah I definitely hear a vibe-music influence in a lot of this stuff, though I don't know if that music had enough of an impact to have influenced the dudes making these beats

like, this is so vibe-y:

idk what clams casino listens to.

his fact mix is all young l metal bangers and stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75xzKWtNCdM and not cloudy at all.

I don't really feel like vibe music is at all connected to any of this stuff?

i dont think clams is at all connected to it, but there is an atmosphericness to 'vibe music' that does feel ~related~ even if not in a directly influential sense

Yeah, "I'm God" definitely feels like the breaking point for the Clams Casino/Keyboard Kid/Main Attrakionz end of this (but not Kendrick Lamar, who is more Wiz-influenced, or G-Side, who really at the end of the day just wish they were in Goodie Mob).

I dunno, vibe music is more like e-ed out party shit than introverted stoner music.

the godmother of cloud rap:

idk i mean, i think something like "roll up" is kinda vibey

if any of you motherfuckers names the 2012 thread rolling vibe thread or whatever i swear to god

When I saw that Deej found a way to mention Max B and his influential rhyme style, I let out an audible groan in this ramen restaurant

anyway...possibly good rap music - new juvie album called 'rejuvenation'

I feel that, but I don't think it was really intentional? Wiz just kind of made a more crossover-palatable version of his usual aesthetic and it ended up at that point. Most actual vibe rap is way faster though.
