rolling gun sounds thread

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:

(this song is crazy... on some Desert Storm/Fabolous-type shit)

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.

we already have a rolling vibe thread

one of my favorite songs is "shes so fly" by grind mode

right. it probably was unintentional... idk what stargate are listening to. but a lot of the synths sound the same even if they're deployed in diff ways

obv vibe music >> cloud rap

fyi this is a really, really boring discussion. could someone answer my qn?

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

fyi that's a really, really boring question

how is a simple request for information "boring"

art of pretend non-thread reading

'vibe music' is a fine name as long as no one ever uses it in actual published work a la 'cloud rap'

open grind mode thread

Most of the Main Attrakionz stuff I've heard is p boring (altho I feel like that has more to do with them as rappers than their cloud-vibe), but this is a total banger:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xxyg8ic1RI

imo it has to do with them as rappers & them as songwriters. and the one-note-ness of their approach to cloud rap

Yeah, otm.

I tend to dislike all rap mixtapes presented by clothing labels, as a general rule. Though Mishka does have some dope clothes.

I had no idea Mishka was a clothing label.
