It's not just that tumblr rap is lame that makes it a bad one, it's also not that popular
Crackers rapping was sort of a theme this year lol

are you still siding w/ surfboards that asap rocky is popular
im also curious why u think mac miller is worth defending but i figure thats the least interesting of these qs

personally a fan of the "rolling [iconic oj da juiceman line] thread" format

what you lack in reading comprehension you certainly make up in hardmanning

oh i didnt realize that was a response to the cracker thing not the tumblr thing, not that u made it partic clear
but uh i thought it was obvious from the 'lol' i was joking about that so i dont know why you'd take it seriously
that said, did you not see mac miller's sales numbers? He blew wale out of the water

lol my position is "i'm not exactly sure why you feel the need to talk about mac miller all the time"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 November 2011 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
i dont know that i've been bringing him up 'all the time' on ilx or something, but his is one of the biggest-selling rap albums this year so
― AFAP Raggett (D-40), Thursday, 10 November 2011 19:43 (twelve years ago) link
What were Mac's numbers? I was dragged to a Mac Miller show a few months ago, dude certainly has the rabid high school fanbase on lock.
― "I know its hard to hear but I'm a Realest." (rennavate), Thursday, 10 November 2011 19:43 (twelve years ago) link
mac miller's gonna do like 180, which is 20k more than wale. v impressive numbers obv.

yeah i don't think this necessarily matters as it pertains to ilx or w/e
idk you're the one that brought him up this time? i just observed there are tons of white rappers out getting coverage right now, which is basically true

imo childish gambino is almost worse than mac miller in that his shallow lil wayne imitations and shrill shoutiness is considered to be somehow "good rapping" while mac is more general fun/party stuff. def watch for this dude to claim an important place in the fratrap contiuum
loving the king louie tapes recommended upthread btw, thanks for that
― chilli, Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I'd agree that Mac is better than Childish Gambino, but Mac is almost a carbon copy of Wiz Khalifa for white frat houses... is that any better than being a Lil Wayne imitation?
― "I know its hard to hear but I'm a Realest." (rennavate), Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:19 (twelve years ago) link
yes, if only bcuz gambino is aping the lowest point of wayne's career
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
that's the present moment right
― The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
That's what bugs me about Mac, the point in his career when he started using Wiz Khalifa as a blueprint is obvious, and that sort of cynical persona-switching never sits well with me.
― "I know its hard to hear but I'm a Realest." (rennavate), Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
Childish gambino gets a lot of love for being a black nerd. I understand that more than the impulse to praise whatever mac miller is supposed to be doing
― AFAP Raggett (D-40), Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:27 (twelve years ago) link
mac miller at least he doesn't have any pretenses about his rap ability, and i think most frat boys can see that. cg's going through all the motions to sound like a rapper in 6'7" or look at me now, but has none of the ability to back it up
― chilli, Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:33 (twelve years ago) link
btw not saying artists in those songs display tons of ability, just that they have what're considered "great verses" by casual rap fans
yes, shakey
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:35 (twelve years ago) link
If I want to listen to a black nerd I'll listen to Busdriver or something.
― "I know its hard to hear but I'm a Realest." (rennavate), Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:36 (twelve years ago) link
Busdriver! is he still around? I liked him allright.
― The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, this summer he put out a pretty dope project with Nocando called Flash Bang Grenada.
― "I know its hard to hear but I'm a Realest." (rennavate), Thursday, 10 November 2011 22:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but you can do the 'if i want to see a cool white kid, i'll listen to...' thing too. childish gambino's lane is less overstuffed than mac miller's right now
― AFAP Raggett (D-40), Thursday, 10 November 2011 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
haha true that phenomenon is obnoxious. i guess there is a certain subset that sees mm as a genuinely "dope" artist and that's somewhat worrying
― chilli, Friday, 11 November 2011 00:04 (twelve years ago) link
and ugh, if mac miller is responsible for the disaster that is "hoodie allen" i might have to reconsider. the name alone makes me physically cringe.
