rolling gun sounds thread

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.

OOPS I JUST MAX BEED MY PANTS

--Gucci Q. Deejgarten

Not to be Capn Save-a-Deej, but let it go.

is there an explanation of vibe music in this thread that i'm pretending not to have seen as deej says or is it in another thread as j0rdan says? i guess i'm just asking if it's a legit publicist-invented 'new genre' or just something that someone said on ilm and is now being parroted over and over

its ilx shorthand for talkin about the 6-7 songs that sound like grind mode / 'sensual seduction' so we dont have to type out all the words explaining that

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

I think 6-7 only really applied 3 years ago when we came up with the term. There's quite a bit more of it now.

Apparently, Surfboards coined it.

I don't think it's an ILX coinage, I've seen it called vibe/jook music elsewhere
