rolling mumble rap challenge 2017

the sax solo

lol that yachty

i like the new yachty it's cute

or i guess i also don't understand why this is "bad" cute catchy and semi-incompetent and like all his other shit is good

lol it's "hold on we're going home"

it's not as incompetent as willfully off though is it?

or i guess i also don't understand why this is "bad" cute catchy and semi-incompetent and like all his other shit is good

aside from the obvious reasons of, ill want to listen to 'd to the a' again but will never intentionally put on 'bring it back,'

hes singing banalities over a 2008 hypemachine chart topper. its cynical & stupid

i mean, i never fully bought into yachty so im not pretending this is some radical departure from his usual shit, cynical pop star at any costs was always his steez

but that also has the potential to tip over at any moment into pure marketing hype. the anti "real hip hop" crusade has been a remarkable shield for his lack of original musical ideas but its kinda corny to me

i do think he can rap though

the other thing about 'bring it back' that's lame is, it feels like a compromise pop record right at the moment when uncompromised rap records like 'xo tour life' 'look at me' and 'magnolia' can do well on top 40...its weirdly dated, chasing that 'hold on we're going home' high.

ive been coming back to the sob rbe tape a whole lot. if i was dismissive earlier: i was wrong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2V1D40Iov0

they're underdeveloped lyrically but not any more so than like early mob figaz or something

kind of ridic to expect a bunch of teenagers to approach mozzy levels of lyrical sophistication on their debut project & sometimes its helpful to remember to "forget" youve been listening to bay rappers flip 80s R&B for literally a decade so you can approach it w/ fresh ears like a younger listener

anyway: i like them. also, think this is much stronger than 'block too a lot', in retrospect im not sure how compelling yase is as much as he is novel

at least, so far

i fuck very much with their db tha general way of rapping.

+ yhung to has a natural popstar charisma.

i think daboii is more charismatic tbh tho yhung to is essential to the sound

i also like the dude w/ the lisp lol

good tracks posted lately. Young Buck is still good to me. he puts out an ep/album worth of good stuff every year consistently.

some fun offbeat boom bap out of Portland

that's fun
damn is that ever a rap group from portland, shoutout to patagonia fleece

lol fun indeed.

love it

i can't really decide if i like this (Phresher, new dude out of NYC), but he's got a kinda weirdo energy...

i kinda like that

there's a version with Remy Ma now?

phresher 'on the low' is a classic

i find all phresher pretty whatever tbh, but i think new york rap in 2017 is a scourge so

remember the 5 min when everyone thought young ma was the future

on the low is just like, a YG rip

that said this is also the first year where Chicago's been kind of dry too

part of that is because every single chicago artist in existence released a major project last year
