rolling ringtone thread 2008

guys i heard "superstar" off the cool today and i kinda liked it 0_o

'superstar' is good. the rest of the cd is okay. the beats generally suck (surprise surprise) but there are like 3-4 good hooks and only a few annoying verses. the song with snoop is awes and his verse is A+

when i eventually delete food + liquor and the cool off my hard drive i'll end up keeping like 8-10 songs combined.

not sure how long ago this came out but it's great and further proof that Young Dro > errryone else. can I post a link?

also, "Japanese Denim" from Trilla (new rick ross album) is my prospective fav. song of whatever week it leaks...

i thought that fabo/dro tape was kinda zzz

though wtf @ santos going budget coldplay xxp

he didn't used to sound like a flea market chris martin?

lolol @ rev's picture upthread. i just noticed that it was a photoshop

xp yeah that Geek'd Up was thrown together but this is a really good mix with a bunch of great stuff that I hadn't heard, almost no drops and actually mixing of records... plus Fabo is on a bunch of tracks.

and Fabo RULEZ

where did that santos dude come from, is from some emo band?

hahaha "Compton was a nature preserve for BUNNY RABBITS!"

Song = fucking DOPE

I thought "American Terrorist" w/ Santos was just about the best song on Food & Liquor (btw fuck album titles that insert the artist's name like both the Lupe albums, shit is so dumb), can't stand "Superstar," though. Still boycotting The Cool, just when I'd forgotten about the Tribe thing he went and had that political debate w/ Rhymefest that proved once again that Rhymefest is sharp as hell and Lupe is dumber than dirt.

I was watching the Simpson's last night and I heard the sample from Thief's Theme and HipHop is Dead... Nas beat-digging the Simpsons? check it out... you can hear the break during a scene in the church and the it's played by the organist... crazy shit!

hahhahahaha

lololololol

reminds me of the dude from the hiphopsite forums who, unfamiliar with gilligans island, tried to break the news that conan obrien made a reference to indie rapper thirstin howl III on late night

that political debate w/ Rhymefest that proved once again that Rhymefest is sharp as hell and Lupe is dumber than dirt.

are you asking for a link to their MySpace blogs or are you asking why I think Lupe "Barack Obama wants to bomb Iran" Fiasco is stupid?

i'm sure jody breeze is excited to be mentioned in the same breath as steve harvey and gza

Anyone else heard the Beyond Hamsterdam album? I've enjoyed Darkroom's stuff before (they once sent me a bunch of stuff when I was writing about The Wire music for my college paper a few years ago), but this seems cleaned up for a wider audience. One of the things I loved about Hamsterdam (Best of Baltimore) was how rough it sounded, and how it seemed almost cobbled together.

Though the music is great. I do like the other Wire soundtrack more (tho PFM is right: 5 Down in the Hole's *is* too many)

i already made a thread for it (although you can discuss it here too obviously): 2 official soundtracks to HBO's The Wire out in January

don't necessarily know what you mean about "cleaned up for a wider audience," though, the 4 Darkroom-produced tracks are exactly as they appeared on the Hamsterdam mixtapes, as are the 4 or 5 other tracks I'd heard on other local releases before. but then, I guess taking any song out of the context of an 80-minute mixtape full of voice mail interludes and putting it into a concise 40-minute compilation will probably make it sound a little different.

That's exactly what I meant by 'cobbled together.' Listening to the mixtapes was sort of (for me) about the experience of aurally submerging in that particular scene. (If that makes any sense.)

oh, it makes sense, i aurally submerge myself in that particular scene on a daily basis. Darkroom definitely make some of the least cobbled together-sounding mixtapes around here, though.

Recommendations?
