rolling rage beats 2022

veeze "A&W" was prob my fav rap song last year

Is GTA officially released or is it going to be released on an upcoming album? I only find it on yt and soundcloud.

it's in the rap netherworld of yt-only/soundcloud-only releases where you don't have to clear any samples or feature appearances

digging the new junglepussy ep, and the way each song flows into the next, moving from traditionalist boom-bap to something more abstract.

new saba is predictably great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-MVN1PSY7o

yeah. he posted a note on socials asking people not to compare it to 'care for me,' which makes me think he worked hard to make an album that wouldn't stand in its shadow.

posted my initial reaction here, still thinking about the album tho: Saba - CARE FOR ME

Yeah really like the new Saba. everyone is raving about the last three tracks of the album - which are great - but being really into Smino and 6lack’s style, having them together on Still makes it automatically my fav one even before I listened to it.

i really love how saba is so diverse over the course of an album, different styles of beats, different flows, guest rappers with really different styles...most rappers have thing that they are good at and just stick to that, saba can switch it up by it still has an overall sense of unity

veeze video is down assuming it's this?
great beat on this

GTA slaps for sure. The production sounds similar to the HBK Gang work used by P-Lo and Iamsu!.

I just noticed the ILM tracks of the year poll wrapped up a week ago -- not much hip hop there at all that I'm seeing. I can't even find the hip hop thread from last year. Was there any kind of year-end wrap up, or any recommended best of the year lists out there? Appreciate it.

I'm pretty out of the loop but this worked for me for 2021.

ALLBLACK & Cal-A - We Straight (Official Video) (feat. Vince Staples)

a few of us listed our faves on the rap thread last year starting about here: rolling thread 2021 (deluxe edition)

Thanks!

Oooh I love this, Doe Boy from Cleveland, also the gangsta granny in the video is too much haha, love this beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpkcK1xRlLE

Oops from Atlanta sorry saw Cleveland somewhere but he's Future's guy I guess

nah he is from cleveland, but also signed to future’s fbg

that’s a good song, i also loved his collab with 42 dugg and g herbo from late last year

really loving the new project by sf rapper lil bean, prob the city’s best entry into the “pain music” field

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXIOVvMZ4pI

That ALLBLACK track is pretty good.

speaking of the titular rage beats, the yëat tape is a bit much but appropriately so. there are great moments, like the below

posted some 2022 rap in the 11 favorite songs thread, might as well post 'em here

su'lan - 6pm on melrose ft. baby stone gorillas: ruthless cali rap from two of the coast's best groups working
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XBHufXfOE4

realyungphil - everything we need (prod. by evilgiane): idk how these drill producers get away with using these samples but this is an incredible flip of a not so great kanye song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvngBdpZFHs

bandgang masoe - top of the key: it's a contact sport, put your pads on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQgd-AiJwuk

also can't stop playing the "new" king von song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhd0Le08I08

That Su'lan is so good...
All them in BSG hit their verses really distinct...
Also, there are some excellent beerbellies on this thread...

no sacred cows in sampling anymore lol. the prince estate must have retired his team of female black lawyers that used to file dmca requests by the dozen

good song tho!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_wyny3b0cg

1100 himself is a good rapper. not sure why he calls himself "eleven thousand" but spells his name with one too few zeroes, but i digress. mitchell is good too, i respect him for defiantly picking the least google-able rap name possible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CarDbRNC7LI

you know i got that iron on me, yeah i got that skillet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_JwzVsv5Ps

new veeze (finally)... his beat selection remains immaculate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43U04KqyvUk

might be my favorite thing he's ever done

the higher tempo of that beat suits him better than i would've thought

i hit the strip club i'm too rich i don't belong in there

trappin aint for you boy you need to get a job

los is establishing himself as one of the best in detroit, and his new tape 'kareem from new orleans vol. 2' is one of my fav things of his. particularly love this song of his with his frequent rap partner wb nutty and icewear vezzo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHIMOzCWcYE

and yes, veeze does make an appearance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVZQHrcMuXc

finally a rap duo that ilx can call its own

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fty2lFGxVdE

off the mussle, on the money, same difference

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-Z8UgYt7o

otm otm

this was fast!

good song. what is this sample? rotary connection?

displaying Goonew’s dead body at a nightclub is in very bad taste imho.

please don’t embed things like that, if anyone wanted to see we could’ve searched ourselves

Sorry! I’m on mobile and forgot they get embedded automatically.

Can a mod please remove the links?

It's a statue i think.

to be fair i only looked on mobile and didn’t click thru. still, i think it’s best to steer clear of the graphic videos and photos that sometimes surface after a rapper gets shot

Afaik It’s not a wax statue. It’s his real deceased body as reported by XXL

This sort of thing may have started in Puerto Rico criminal circles a decade ago or so. They call these type of funerals “muerto parado”. Glad it hasn’t really became a trend. I find it very distasteful.

rage beats are fun because if you don't like one song, wait two mins and it will change.

i do like this one tho

In less disturbing Goonew news, he got lots of credit from some for his rap flow--

https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/552331/remembering-goonew/

Goonew’s stint at MPR is significant because a number of gifted artists from D.C. and Atlanta were on the label at the time. The infectious “punch in” flow favored by the MPR rappers was sometimes dubbed the “DMV Flow.” The cadence, popularized by D.C.-based rappers where bars overlap into the previous bar, was adopted by rappers in other parts of the country, and even internationally as it spread through the hip-hop industry. The origin of the “DMV Flow” is a hotly contested debate, but Goonew’s role in its evolution is on record.

The 24-year-old Maryland rapper had a gift for smearing time, phrasing his rhymes slightly in front of the beat,

some enjoyable boom-bap for ums and those with ums-adjacent tastes

and some more!

really digging rob49. he's from new orleans, co-signed by birdman, and sounds a bit like juvenile, but he's more than a throwback. very enjoyable to hear him talk his shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWX2FG3_5QU

speaking of trayle, he just dropped a vid for "craxk flow"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tl9NxULyQ0

I just love listening to AZ rap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7NOuzMGVc

been loving the new lil poppa tape, some smart and deeply felt melodic street music to fill the polo g-shaped hole in my listening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4VXdwcX-d0

d40 to thread

Lil poppa and slo-be have probably the most underrated albums of the year

checking out lil poppa, really great so far

https://soundcloud.com/bandmanrill/sets/unrealeased-pt2

bandmanrill threw up a bunch of loosies on soundcloud and i'm enjoying this way more than his project. it's slanted for more towards club music than drill which just aligns w/ my taste also there's some songs on here that have samples they obv could not clear

luh tyler - back flippin prob one of the best rap songs of the year & looks like it might blow up in a real way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNcKvADGx1U

loved "i gotta slide" from earlier this year, but that was just a sketch compared to this one. def feels like he has a flow that everyone will be jacking soon enough

still love "i gotta slide," though, every line on that one is gold

"i been kissin mary jane, she change the color of my eyes"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO9zxqHD6o

"fat racks" is my fav

late year discovery - this Jay Worthy/Larry June collab tape is super fun old school west coast electro vibes

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

i liked that album a lot

new luh tyler for christmas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XWLNek3Uwo

struggling to think of a new thread title that includes a references to obvious sample flips and jersey club, and includes the word "sturdy"

maybe that's too east coast focused idk

rolling high bpms

that includes ie 'dump it dummy,' milwaukee stuff, west coast stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-i1VS09r0Y

def a trend but maybe generic even for this thread ha

rolling regional club

generic is the point!

rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

let's do it
