rolling gun sounds thread

how many hooks on this record are just a down-pitched voice reciting rap lyrics anyway

(i do think 'peso' has a great hook)

at what point was gucci's career ethered...? ice cream cone tattoo? wacka album?

just curious, I've never really been into him

one of the eight trips he made to prison in the middle of when he was supposed to be promoting an album. also possibly when he no-showed at concerts, or radio interviews, or any of the many probably-substance-related AWOL situations

(eight is a small exaggeration)

jewelry selection is the last great tape

i like the hook on kissin pink (lol) a lot

i'm with deej here, nobody knows what the fuck an asap rocky is, except nerds like us.

i don't think anyone is really debating that. he's also been in the public consciousness for like 3 months, it's not a huge indictment on him

i don't think ilx can stand for anyone but forks using "wacka". he's, like, the full quotient of representation whereby we do not simply die of embarrassment but soldier on.

lol

That Kreayshawn feature is kinda embarrassing. I think she was born to make GG and nothing more.

guess this is on the dj drama album? it's also on the pusha t album. anyway, french montana's hook on this is amazing

Does Asap have a ground-level following in NY?

how could he? until 2 mo. ago he had 2 songs

I don't see how that precludes anything.

kreay sounds bad on this, yeah -- beat doesn't work for her

And I'm more interested in hearing someone from NY answer that than someone from elsewhere project his assumptions onto them. xp

no disrespect to the NY-based posters but i kinda doubt anyone here can speak of 'ground-level following' there vs. media bubble hype

Rev I dunno my understanding of what a ground level phenomenon would be involves months of legwork, doing shows, releasing tapes that build buzz... Whats yours

hi, i really like the 2 chainz album

I was at the show at alife when he opened for Danny brown, before XXX came Out and before ASAP had any press. It was packed.

I was also at the santos show that he headlined. Also packed. Don't remember how much press he had at this point.

He played during some juicy j thing one day I didn't go but supposedly he we t over really well.

I have nothing to do with the "hype cycle" or whatever the fuck. Do with this info whatever you may. such an NYC complex around here it's glaring. Why does a rapper get your goat

i do remember reading reports that the crowd went nuts when they brought him out at the dipset reunion, but that's is entirely shocking either

anybody heard the Pusha T ep yet? has it leaked?

surfboards, member of the grassroots / hip-hop 'losing my edge'

'before asap had any press'

that must have been a crazy 5 minutes

lol

I think most of the Pusha EP is out there in one form or another

i think every song is out there except the opener w/ diddy which isn't v good

also every idea he's ever had has been out there since 2002

that too

i dont know that i 'get' his solo career.

well he barely has one

some pretty massive guests considering that

have we talked about how good 'stunt' is off the 2 Chainz

some pretty massive guests considering that

well he obv has industry connects but

now that im back on twitter i've been lollin' at ppl's klout scores. it says j0rdan is influential on "Youtube" "Hurricanes" "debt"

it's kind of amazing that after 10 years as pharrell's charity case he managed to get someone els he didn't even grow up with to become his new benefactor

well at least they were good there for a little while

rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

letz talk abt gucci mane

cannot seem to find one where i'm calling waka wacka tho

except he's an actual star rapper now and the spelling of his name is well known

kayne west

coppin pleas^^^ xp

it's ok forks nobody really thinks you're as big an herb as shakey

should be a poll imo

flames instead of flame is an acceptable variation though -- waka's in the optional pluralization category with joe budden(s) and meek mill(z)

i prefer millz, no idea why they changed it
