that's a joke track right

jesus christ

holy shit i'd heard that song in passing but never paid attention to the verses to realize how far out awful they are. we can't even blame age anymore, there are so many 40-year-old rappers now whose skills never deteriorated like this.

that's a joke track right

― HOOSytime steenman (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Thursday, January 1, 2009 10:33 PM

if the notorious film is a joke, then yes

ugh oh my god

not to mention santogold is a philly native

You rep Bed Stuy, Brooklyn now. How is living there different from your hometown Philly?

It is a huge difference. I moved from Mount Airy to Bed Stuy and within the first few nights I heard gunshots and I knew it was not like home. But I live on a great block, with families that have been there for generations. M.I.A. lives around the way, but then you go a block away from me, to Franklin and Fulton by the train and you have guys hollerin' at me, and just a lot of roughnecks and its dangerous.

jay's psuedo-ragga talk is LOL awful

lol that interview

hay santo franklin and fulton is in clinton hill - bed stuy is the neighborhood between bedford and stuyvesant aves fyi

it must be hard for her to pay attention to geography with all those gunshots and guys hollerin' at her

to be fair its just a matter of one block - so maybe the one block she lives away is down fulton in bed stuy - tho i dont think if she already lived on fulton shed be talking abt the next block over - walked by there this morning btw

lisa, angela, M.I.A., renee I love you youre from around the way

her name is santi

aaaaaaand, really?

your name is santi

lisa, santi, M.I.A., renee I love you youre from around the way

i like this thread title btw. makes me think there's a transformer that looks like plies

yeah...plus it's appropriate because Pliess will probably release 3 albums this year

Pliessssss

i wonder if that transformer wears a giant chain that looks like plies

http://smartenupnas.com/2008/12/10/lol-trick-trick-takes-yung-bergs-chain-on-tour-claims-the-chain-is-fake/

i like "brooklyn go hard" or whatever or at least the beat

Filed Under Da Streetz is talking, Beef

Pliess will probably release 3 albums this year

― some dude, Thursday, January 1, 2009 11:56 PM

haha i forgot about that. the first is REALer Than Usual, has he named the other two

lol REALer Than Usual is a hilarious title in the context of his one album in every six months strategy - like, "oh wow.. REALer Than Usual.. plies must've really been inspired during the past few months"

also it's weird that "put it on ya" is a no i.d. beat - it sounds like "i'm a flirt" and "sexy can i"

ppl love the fuck out of plies it's so weird - the big rap station down here did their year end top 50 based on fan voting (supposedly) and there were two plies tracks in the top 3 (though they may have rigged it since he hosted the show [big lols @ getting to hear plies talk intermittently for like 3 hours)

it's weird that "put it on ya" is a no i.d. beat - it sounds like "i'm a flirt" and "sexy can i"

!!! need to hear this shit

as with most plies songs it is much better than it has any right to be but it's now "shawty" or "bust it baby pt 2"

it's no**

^^^my shit rite here

yeah i like it too mostly on some windows down type shit

at this point trying to resist plies singles is kind of impossible

shit sucks -- all his 'for the ladies' songs are boring as fuck, or gross as fuck

im totally cool w/ 4 the ladies joints in general, im just not really convinced these are anything special

the fact that his songs are gross as fuck is the number one redeeming quality

it's not that they're gross as fuck - imo lil wayne singing about getting head is gross as fuck - it's that they're singularly gross as fuck . like the bed set/wet-wet line is only something you'd get from plies for better or worse (better imo)

that sounds like kool keith/'trapped in the closet' type 'enjoyment' to me

ahhhhh gtfo deej. for one the best plies loverman singles are the ones with best non-plies hooks - imo "shawty" and "bust it baby pt 2" and not "please excuse my hands" and "put it on ya" - but my point is that by being the grossest and crudest plies i guess transcends normal loverman rap

being liked/successful for being the grossest/crudest/most straight-forward is nothing in new in entertainment or music or rap

man that jay-z....wow....the first verse sounds like maybe if wyclef was freestyling off the head or some shit.

then the whole abortion orphan annie shit...waht??!

i don't like that put it on you song by plies

i dunno...this whole plies thing seems like some emporer's new goon shit to me.

i like "brooklyn go hard" or whatever or at least the beat

yeah imo one of kanye's better beats of late...hopefully there's been some good freestyles/remixes to redeem it

there'll be, i should say

anyone ever check this album -- this track is the shit

when i put "shawty" on a summer shit 07 mix i made i cut out plies entirely

intro--hook--hook--bridge--hook

i can lol when dude goes over the top but most days he's just unappetizing gross to me

lol not your shit, huh.

shit i don't even know if i still have that i'll check tho

Ugh, I like the beat on "Brooklyn Go Hard" and the lines "I pity the fool with jewels like Mr. T/ With no history in my borough/ They borrow/ With no anticipation of returning tommorrow", but otherwise, duke booty.

this sounds like if animal collective got remixed

cool beat -- i assumed it was gonna be a rickroll when u said that tho

SLIM THUG "I RUN" it starts off like !!!!!!!!1 and then quickly gets fucking embarassing! like real quick

"female of the species" sample in that swizz beatz song?

anybody heard the shit?

^ posts very much out of character

uh there are two songs linked in that blog post, they're about as shitty as you would imagine

i realize there are two songs linked in that blog post but i'm not in a position to listen. hence the question. thx.

It's "Female of the Species" on the Swiss Beatz alright. Makes one wonder what other Brit pop also-rans could be in for a sample-based revival this year, Kanye to sample The Bluetones?

sorry dude. i heard the two songs in the blog post and they are shitty.

about as shitty as you would imagine.

there's something kind of blank and glazed-over about Common the past few years that you tend to only see in celebs if they're $cientologist or have had serious drug problems.

otm

his personality is hard to find like a remote

I could imagine the sc13ntology a lot easier than the drugs.

omg listening to this "heirplanes" song by Lupe Gallager

i mean i think it's WORSE than it sounds on paper!

Anonymous said...
this is at least wayyyy better than lil wayne singing...when lil wayne started singing and the cool dropped lupe fiasco became my favorite rapper

i think the guitars are kinda cool but the rest is just

it sounds like a band that should be playing live during a scene where austin powers is at a party

the guitars are like the guitar equivalent of a preset on a casio keybord! wtf

I really like XXXXXXXXX magazine and I'm a nerd rapper who is inspired by videogames. I don’t know if you like rap or hip-hop (I don’t, it’s horrible), but I’m a rapper (I think). I’m more like a writer/lyricist/poet because my lyrics are though-provoking, creative, poetic, deep, metaphoric, complex, and very clever. I use a lot of alliterations, hyperbole, double entrendes, imagery, and witty wordplay. I AM THE BEST WRITER EVER. My lyrics are hard to comprehend because they’re so deep. My lyrics seem simple, but have that hidden depth that requires a lot of thought. My content is what sets me apart from every other rapper. I talk about real issues and problems in the world. I also talk about videogames, movies, technology, television, basketball, and more. I go by the name of Recess the Jedi and I’m a nerdy college student who loves videogames. I’m just doing something different and putting some good into the world. I know for a fact that I could sell millions of records being myself. I’m the definition of Think Outside the Box and a breath of fresh air so check me out at http://www.myspace.com/recessthejedi The sound quality is not the best, but its good enough and make sure you listen to the song called Game violence.

I really like XXXXXXXXX magazine too, m@tt can you send me some free copies of the porno mag you work for?

o_OOOO at this new swizz beatz song - i think i might think it's dope

what the shit is this

DO NOT FUCKING WANT

this is fucking awful. has anything ever sucked as hard as rap in jan. 09??? i'm depressed. I can't think of a single thing to look forward to or even listen to that I haven't heard a million times and everything new that "drops" is disappointing or just plain bad. fuck you new music cartel

that wasnt about the new swizz beats either lol

plies->bad new jay-z raps->swizz beatz song sampling a british band->plies->lupe's rock band where he sings with a fake accent->common vlogging = a pretty appropriate way to start off 09 i think

it's funny cuz Freeway kind of killed a lot of those tracks but nothing could have turned me off more than the stupid month of blog posts bullshit.

yeah otm - should listen to the mixtape soon though

I thought of something I'm looking forward to: Young Chris. please tell your manager to stay away from his gmail chris!!!

waht -- dude its been 5 days and youre always optimistic about everything, like freaky zeaky mixtape freestyles and shit

srsly

wasn't the jay rock that m@tt posted from 09? really liked it!

i got my fill of zeek from Bad Santa. I'm not talking about 2009. I'm talking about the state of this shit right now, it's been going on for months. going on my google reader is the most monotonous hell ever, it has gone too far and now we are in a serious nadir. something's gotta give. if fucking Charles hamilton goes mainstream it's seriously gonna suck.

dont worry

is stat quo finally coming out in 09? i've always kinda held out hope that his album could be good.

Holy shit Swizzy sampling Space.

Song is awful.

Sounds like a half-finished bootleg someone would have posted to a message board circa 2002.

Stat Quo just brought a mixtape out: http://www13.megaupload.com/files/f9dcb38fc4c39fd9eafc1dc6ff7dc35a/Stat_Quo-Quo_City-WEB-2008.rar. Haven't listened.

cant believe bow wows about to have a SIXTH studio album

http://videos.onsmash.com/v/NL8UBHkJnD1nPKgK

weird fuckkin song btw

yeah it's kinda cool though! some weird atlantic starr kinda beat or the jets or some shit.

nice cool kids outfit JD lol

also he's kinda corny but I actually dig that brooklyn girls song by charles hamilton.

Scarface single is first new thing I heard this year that sounds good.

it's better than i ever thought a charles hamilton single could be but man is his voice annoying on it

which?

yeah i like that charles hamilton song too

he's a halfway good producer - hes basically like doing dipset production but since he's of the internet he's sampling indie singers and stuff- but as a rapper he's got miles i think

i lol'd @ this from noz's TWITTER:

watching mtv jams with the homie (who doesnt read rap blogs): "his name is Cha-mil-a-ton? like Chamilionaire?" "no, that says 'C. Hamilton'" 11:25 AM Dec 23rd, 2008 from web

High Powered; may be old to you, but new to me.

Girl in bodega is the same as gaptoothed chick from 'One More Drink'? Well served when filmed at an angle from below.

i remember hearing "brooklyn girls" on shade 45 or maybe the other sirius rap station in like early summer way before this whole the blog rap thing really took hold and thinking it was pretty good. he's probably recorded 200 songs since then

those halcyon days

yup. and might i add in regard to my depressed posts yesterday, i feel validated somewhat:

Now the best rappers are not rapping, going to jail, and just sucking. Now that Wayne has officially evolved into the hip hop personality sphere occupied by such irrelevant recording artists as 50 and Snoop Dogg we have no true rap stars. Kanye is leading the pack, but off the cliff.

The hipster hop crossover (not to be confused with the blogo thundercat rappers, an embarrassment in their own right, but honestly not even worth acknowledging at this point - I am talking 808s, “Swagger Like Us”, “Brooklyn Go Hard”, Jim Jones rhyming over MGMT, etc.) of 2009 will be looked back on as one of the lowest points in hip hop. Lower than snap hop and hip house and all that

hip house wasn't that bad!

</doug lazy>

yeah you can't get much lower than snap hop or hip house jesus fuck that guy

girl i'll house you alone makes everything worth it

blogo thundercat rappers
thx for that tho

hip house wasn't that bad!

^^^makes so much sense w/the username

man that scarface is nice. thank god for old rappers.

i have no problem with hip house, and it's well known that he has defended snap harder than almost anyone (and I think at one point he argued for the D4L album over Stillmatic or something like that)...so I don't think he was really knocking snap or hip house or whatever else. also who cares that whole phrase is almost a non sequitur. snap is and was maligned is the point.

too lazy to link to my blog post about jeezy being rap's only true rap star - but jeezy is rap's only true rap star

ti?

http://jumptheturnstyle.com/?p=2043

^this shit is truly a time capsule of ;_; btw

also i think noz is being facetious about the hip-house/snap hop thing

yeah t.i. sold the fuck out though - his verses on "live your life" are underrated but whenever that numa numa sample kicks in i feel like im being punked

and that song is AFTER live your life

er AFTER "whatever you like"

ha, I first heard Numa Numa BECAUSE of "Live Your Life", so I don't have any negative association with the sample

t.i.'s uh "selling out" doesn't seem a permanent or irreversible thing though, just trend-hopping

the only thing that bugs me about that song is how rhianna pronounces shit like a leprechaun

lex otm

no noz really has silly opinions about some of that shit

who remembers his post about 'no good women rappers'

oof, forgot about that one

what other rap stars are there right now besides young jeezy

t.i. WAS arguably the biggest rap star circa king but now his pop songs are worse and so is his rapping - jeezy's just as successful now as he was and he's done it on his own terms - as far as rap goes as an intersection between an art form and a commercial business i don't see anyone more vital to the game than jeezy

Internationally, i don't think ppl don't care about jeezy or t.i., it's all about 'Ye and has been since at least Late Registration. And maybe fiddy if they still care about him in 2009 ("I Get It In" dropped today).

I know you're intersecting success with ppl you rate, therefore those guys don't apply, but just saying re:stardom. Anyways...

Percival Fats (Born Percival Hindenburg-Fats) Is NOT Lupe Fiasco (Born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco). Although he is a dear friend,' it read 'Lupe does finance the band but is NOT I REPEAT NOT THE SINGER IN JAPANESE CARTOON. He is however the producer and we value his participation very much haha

Q-Tip song for the Cadillac Records OST - "(Evolution of a) Man" is nice in a throwaway way.

The RZA f, Kool G. Rap, Inspektah Deck & Suga Bang (from Afro Samurai: Resurrection) - You Already Know - not really feeling this yet, but it did make me bump "Cameo Afro" from the first one, which was cool.

@Matt upthread, yeah High Powered is on the album, has been around for a bit. Really good. Took me a while to like it tho, and i don't think the video does anything for it.

Noz likes Trina.

And Medusa. A heady mix.

im kind of feeling the new 50 single -- beat is weirdly hypnotizing

^good post

the 50 track ain't bad

^bad post

jk i haven't even listened to it

I've re-read that post like 5 times trying to understand it

xxx

maybe listening to the track would help

man 50 can't make songs without "get" in the title anymore can he

maybe he's taking cues from T.I.'s runaway success with the word "what"

T.I. also owns the word "know".

luriqua ded serious

im actually enjoying this CHICAGO HIPSTER RAP and dude and can rap and its also kinda funny low budget shit. And a good beat. and a funny concept

i deem this one of my exceptions to the rule

-1 same catchphrase as hacksaw jim duggan, -1 no lolz in actual rap, -1 much worse name than jay electronica

overruled!

first fake intro laugh in rap 2009 i think

it answers this question that i've been pondering since i was 15: "what would happen if one of the chicks from bang bus str8 shot one of the dudes?"

no way is that a worse name than jay electronica

im not as big a fan any more since i saw him get clowned by the iranian dude from soul purpose and respond by basically being racist, tho

just a quick lol @ the uk

POLL Better names for Jay Electronica: Je'ri Allah, Jotah Flowers, Jaydolf Spitler, Jay Elect.

POLL Worse names for etc. see above

is that noodle vague's son?

btw i dont think i've ever heard anyone say "shite" out loud - i will always remember this video ^____^

the best line in the UK rap is that guy at the end who says "Wigglin' digglin' and gigglin'"

also that porno movies beat is a pretty dope but that guy is a toolbox.

jay electronica is way better of a rapper than him.

yeah i listened to this Giles Peterson podcast with him (MP3) a lot last year, and highly recommended it. It's from all the way back in January but has stuff that only surfaced elsewhere much later, such as Extra Extra & Prayer for Michael Vick and T.I. & so on. I'd say it's up to date until roughly before when Transformations came out. Probably a lot of overlap musically with What the f**k is a sampler, but you get Peterson pressing buttons not knowing what's next on a CDR, playing jazz while sorting it out, Jay chatting about T.I., New Orleans, etc. and the whole thing has a mellow loose late night feel.

headfuck contextualized fan-made Queens Get the Money vid with random digs at the roots and jesse jackson:

fan vid for Voodoo Man:

embed youtoob was my last formatting hurdle btw

*holds lighter aloft*

anyone listening to the Freeway "Month of Madness" mixtape? it's all those tracks he did...

like okay i'm not really involved with any kind of idea of the "best rapper alive" anymore, like i don't even think it matters anymore...

but there is no rapper out there that I enjoy more on a consistent basis than Freeway.

ay that new Term tape has a super hot track

"Say It" f/Sheek Louch, Joell Ortiz, Bun B, Saigon

which i guess is like internet rap dude's dream circa spring 2008 but its fire

i think people had already forgotten about Joell Ortiz by spring 08.

M@tt otm

yeah i was gonna say spring 07 but i thought that might be overdoing it xp

haha where is that xxl thing about saigon from like '03 ... i found an '05 one

http://www.abandonednation.com/images/press/Saigon-XXLJuly2005.jpg

nice bedroom

"Say It" is nice!

i still like joell ortiz

speaking of big dudes

Has anyone else seen HEAVY D getting his Shaggy on with that pop dancehall grown folks song they've been playing on MTV Jams!? it's okay, but more just cool to see the overweight lover getting some play in 09

i like joell ortiz - i havent heard his album but random videos have been good also he has a great verse on one of the songs in grand theft auto

heavy d

"in god we trust" by 50 is pretty hot!

"I Get It In" is gonna have a million freestyles by next week

does anyone else get the voice from the Auto Zone commercial stuck in their head everytime they see this thread?

GET IN THE ZONE...

...AU-TO-GOON!

haha

new nore is dope haha

hey a nu-ron browz poll would have what -- jumpin out the window, pop champagne, arab money, rotate -- anything else hes dropped??

he also did the new Fat Joe song "Winding On Me," which his horrrrrrrible. "Rotate" is dope, though.

his=is

the best is ricky blaze ft. eeeeeeeether boy "i feel free"

oh right forgot about that -- i agree that is a jam

did u guys check this new nore tho -- it samples kiss X^D

ron browz really is the autogoon, isn't he

Arab Money is fuckin' terrible.

otm

"Kiss" the Prince song or Kiss the band?

kiss the band

its very good, not sampling kiss like dipset would 'sample kiss' -- this is more like onyx sampling 'welcome back'

'kotter'

those ron browz tracks are a riot

'arab money' is terrible but also hilarious

the nore and ricky blaze ones are really excellent.

autogoon crew, tell me about nicki minaj! i found a random mp3 of a track called 'beam me up scotty' which is probably years old but i love her voice. all i know is that and her spot on da drought 3.

also jordan where did your thread about porny videos go?

Arab Money is fuckin' terrible.

Name a better ign'ant rap song from the past five years

I know this is probably more because rap has gone soft serve than it's a 10/10 classic, but the point remains

on 77 - if you want to be added to the board just post on the mod req thread "i want to be added to 77" or something - it's mostly a board about fucking and food

uhhh no thanks. tell me about nicki minaj here.

the only nikki minaj i really know is that verse from da drought 3 which made me think that she was 14 years old (or at least she sounds that young) but she seems to be a pretty standard ho rapper

here's a track she did with gucci produced by drumma boy - song's aight but i like her verse

i think this track she did on dedication 3 was dope - over the "no matter what" beat

this verse on the ricky blaze/ron browz song i posted upthread is good - she's like 3 1/2 mins in

she sound promising to me - she can flow like fuck and she's got a pretty distinct voice - dunno if her lyrics hold up just yet but idk if that's much of a problem either

i dont think ive heard anything by her better than the drought 3 shit - she sounds great over the "can't stop won't stop" beat cuz it's simple and compact like her voice

word life 50 masterpieces of that ignorant underground shit we love (inspired by and what)

im assuming he means 'popular' -- i have largely positive feelings towards arab money fwiw

Yeah, I mean obviously there's like an LP's worth of Guttamouf tracks that smoke it, but I meant in a chart perspective.

dogg you gotta be kidding me - even counting only radio joints the last 5 years includes shit like move bitch and like a pimp and and ms new booty and good googly moogly - busta + some autotune fag talkin shit bout t-heads aint touchin lil flip going "like too short said / bitches aint shit" or trillville smackin a hoe over that greasy ass rocking chair beat

ok on that Gucci song when she says "if you wanna ménage, keep a couple pretty broads," is she suggesting a ménage à quatre, or saying that dude better already have 2 girls because she's not game?

"Move Bitch" is seven years ago, "Like A Pimp" was six. Your life is slipping you by.

("Good Googly Moogly" I'll give you, "Ms New Booty" maybe but it always annoyed me how "The Charm" was 1/3 awesome shit like "The Otherside", 1/3 good solid radio shit, and 1/3 uttershit like the one about him and his pregnant girlfriend eloping that comes across like a fucking Green Day album track or whatever)

Basically anything from UGK from the past five years smokes Arab Money up.

Ying Yang Twins 'Whisper Song'. David Banner 'Play'.

Fuck, even 'Riding Dirty'.

I meant Chamillionaire, which is pretty vanilla in this context; but you're speaking my language. I try to listen to Bin Laden Weed about once a week.
Also 75% of what Mr. Collipark made in the past five years is head and shoulders above Arab Money

^^^true in terms of ignorance and general quality

basically the same thing to me

ridin dirty didnt even cross my mind dude how is that ignorant?? dude is on some socially conscious racial profiling shit

that's a pretty rosy view of that song, specially on Krayzies verse

"Nigga been sippin on that Hennessey and the gin again is in again we in the wind
Doin a hundred while I puff on the blunt
And rollin another one up, we livin like we ain’t givin a fuck
I got a revolver in my right hand, 40 oz on my lap freezing my balls
Roll a nigga tree, green leaves and all"

pimp c can get ignorant sometimes but i dont really consider ugk at all 'ignant rap' fwiw

anyway i assumed dudes "in the last 5 years" was some hyperbole but it really is pretty good to see busta get ignant + entertaining, this ron browz shit so far has been pretty interesting & unique imo

certainly as far as nyc rap goes this is so true

i dunno most g-g-g-unit was pretty ignant

More thuggin' than ign'ant, surely?

Okay, this is slowly moving into self-parody for all of us.

the answer is "Knuck If You Buck" thanks gnight

answer is the kells verse on make it rain rmx thanks gnight

the answer is at the top of this thread

For me, UGK vacillate between ignorant and super brilliant; it's a large part about what makes them so great to listen to.

yeah termanology's tribute to dilla was ignant as fuck

that richard x album fooled a lot of ppl i imagine -- also covers of 'walk on by' and --

man "finest" was sampled on operation doomsday which pre-dates richard x anyway -- youd think he would have recognized that

OK,,,,,FIRST OFF WHATS UP TOM AND THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTS.

haha prodigy posted on that article XD

LOOK WHAT I BRING TO THE ALT WEEKLYS amirite

lol bloggarina p

vibe magazine's list of the nine worst kanye songs:

1.) Jay-Z - "Swagga Like Us"
2.) Michael Jackson - "Billy Jean 2008"
3.) Kanye West - "Kanye's Workout Plan"
4.) Kanye West - "Bring Me Down"
5.) Kanye West - "I Still Love H.E.R."
6.) Kanye West - "Impossible"
7.) Jay-Z - "Do U Wanna Ride"
8.) Kanye West - "Drunk & Hot Girls"
9.) Jay-Z - "Bonnie & Clyde '03"

i kinda think 'workout plan' gets shitted on unfairly but im so tired of that song now that i dont really have much of an urge to defend it

the workout plan video with fonz bentley verse is classic

i always liked "bring me down" but he spit that same verse basically on rap city way before LR over the "stand up" beat and it's way doper

SLU and Drunk aside that list is pretty rong

i mean some of those songs are pretty mediocre but by no means belong on a worst list...and even the biggest 808s defender should be able to think 1 or 2 songs from it that deserve to be on that list.

what's billie jean 2008 like? yeah "see you in my nightmares" is def in the worst 10 kanye songs

"New Workout Plan" is a really fucked up song to consider when you remember that his mother died during weight-loss surgery.

"weight-loss surgery"

"New Workout Plan" is a really fucked up song to consider when you remember that his mother died during weight-loss surgery.

Nice challopsy comment but not really.

that post is a really fucked up challop to consider when you remember that dom's girlfriends are morbidly obese and bipolar

Not true, one of them was just borderline

young dro dropping a new mixtape soon

haha he did that about the same time last year rite

w/ yung la who i am tepidly optimistic about xp

yeah I don't mind his song but Yung LA seems possibly pretty annoying and it'll suck if he gets to drop an album before all the dope artists on Grand Hustle this year

yeah agreed. afaik dro floated some singles out to radio (according to wikipedia at least) but nothing's caught on so we'll see. would be a damn shame if he couldn't get an album out

btw this mixtape is called BLACK BOY, WHITE BOY as in black boy swag and white boy tags

I want a Grand Hustle comp like Purple Ribbon got purp 2

there was one 2 yrs ago that kinda got ignored in the wake of 'king' but it had my fav dro song on it

was listening to the radio while emptying the dishwasher and this radio station went "pop champagne" -> AND THE BEST THROW BACK JAMS LIKE THESE "it was a good day" o_O

what do dudes think of the pitchfork-approved and diplo-mixed paper route gangstaz? the diplo remixes are pretty corny (weezer sample lol) but some of the beats are pretty nice:

i think we all pretty much like those guys a lot - we basically have a thread on them rollin rollin rollin we aint slept in weeks

that weezer sample is a non-diplo remix i think and it's one of their best songs. you should try and find the g-side album "starshipz & rocketz" (we talk about it some in that thread). it's produced by the same dudes who do the prgz stuff

oh duh i recognized that thread title when i heard it in the song

i basically agree w/ what noz said about that mixtape which is -- if you're trying to highlight a crew thats known for its beats rather than its rapping why would u release a CD where you remix their rappers??

noz

Flex - I think I mentioned this here before but I don’t really understand the point of that tape. A bunch of inferior remixes of tracks where the primary appeal was the production. It’s like whats next the Group Home remix project?

I mean, I get that knowing Diplo probably expands their extra-bama audience by like 100x but that doesn’t mean much musically. Diplo is hot but he isn’t half the producer that BB are. Business wise I don’t think it’s very smart for them to be chasing the hipster/fader/blogosphere dollars just yet either. They need to be solidifying a core audience right now, because hipster love is the most fleeting.

my theory is diplo and benzi are crewing with dudes that will allow them to throw around the term "bama" the same way some crackers with black friends think it's ok for them to drop n-bombs

it's just what they do, it's how they put artists on and give them their stamp. they take people in (south rakkas crew, santogold, mia, etc) and make mixes for them and these mixes always involved a lot of ambitious remixing. that's diplo's MO and in order to get his cosign and that bump of exposure that's what happens. yeah it's different this time because they are known for their beats but it's not like they stripped the whole thing of the beats, there's only a couple remixes on it. it's a collaboration that's all.

yeah...i scratched my head the same way when they signed Blaq Starr and did a bunch of shitty remixes of one of his weakest songs.

i was gonna start a new thread about this but i guess it's not worth it: the basis is "lol @ news articles using rappers' stage names as if it were their real names"

i.e. (btw this article is from 05 - don't freakout gucci fanboys)

DECATUR -- The rapper known as Gucci Mane turned himself in Thursday night after a murder warrant was issued for him in a May 10 shooting in which a man later was found dead.

Mane, 25, whose real name is Radric Davis, was notified on Wednesday that he was wanted by DeKalb County authorities for the shooting of Henry Lee Clark, said his Atlanta attorney, Dennis Scheib.

Mane was in New York on Thursday for a show and returned Thursday night, Scheib said. Mane then turned himself in to DeKalb County authorities.

"He said, 'Hey, I'll come down' -- he's not trying to avoid it," Scheib said.

The attorney said the shooting was in self-defense and that Mane was unaware that someone had been injured in the gunfight.

Mane was in a DeKalb County home with a woman on May 10 when five men entered with guns and duct tape, his lawyer said. Mane traded fire with the men, who later fled, Scheib said.

The identities of those men, other than Clark, were unknown.

Associates of Clark, 28, looked for him after he went missing. They found his body in a wooded DeKalb area, and apparently called police.
The arrest could affect Davis' career although it was too early to tell if the repercussions will be negative or positive. In many instances, the profile of stars in the hip hop/rap world is boosted during brushes with the law.

At least two people were holding Gucci Mane posters outside the DeKalb jail as Davis was being escorted in the facility.

Mane is known for several hit songs, including "So Icy," "Trap House" and "Black Tee."

Mr. Mane

the mane from u.n.c.l.e.

i wonder if he gets credit card offers sent to Mr. Mane

potmXII is on point with this

speaking of manes, did Maino's album ever come out? if, so was it good?

i loved hi hater and then after that i heard him on some mixtape song kicking some conscious political anti-government shit and i was o_O

nah, Maino is one of those deluded guys who thinks their one hit is just setting the stage for something bigger, so he dropped another single w/ Trey Songz and is waiting patiently for his Neveruary release date. the title If Tomorrow Comes... could take on some lol Greatest Story Never Told-type connotations if he's still on the shelf in 2010.

lol @ trey songz

lol @ "Neveruary"

seriously what is up with release dates and rap?

i mean some stuff will get pushed back in like rock or whatever but usually it seems to be more on some artist side stuff, where i get the sense there are albums totally in the can that just sit there for years.

yeah...in rock (and even pop) labels still just put out a single, drop the album a few weeks later, and hope for the best. in rap and R&B, basically since at least '04 or so, the single has to get x number of BDS spins before they'll even put the album on the schedule, and pretty much until the day the CDs start being pressed nothing is certain. rap's been in kind of a fear-based vicious cycle like that for years, with first-week sales scrutiny and the concept of "mixtape buzz" feeding into that system and making it more deeply entrenched.

seriously what is up with release dates and rap?

I'm always a sucker for depressed rap songs.

@stickman

suits that slurred delivery?

He did a mixtape with whookid last year all over old funk and disco tunes, so not such a surprise to hear him over basically the "seven minutes of funk" break.

i mean it's just some mixtape type "freestyle" thing, right?

dont like 'lost' -- not sure why ppl are all over it. hes so much better at playful lolzy raps

I never cared much for gorilla zoe, but I think I like this?

that gorilla zoe mixtape had a surprising number of great tracks on it - i can pretty much jam it start-to-finish. he's got a knack for a good hook.

that busta track is HOTT.

in rap and R&B, basically since at least '04 or so, the single has to get x number of BDS spins before they'll even put the album on the schedule, and pretty much until the day the CDs start being pressed nothing is certain.

do u see this changing any time soon?

fuck i was just headbanging to that busta shit

it started changing a little when labels like Def Jam realized they could just dump an album with no buzz into the marketplace with very little promotion, watch it flop, and blame it on the artist (Freeway, LL Cool J, etc.). but with really new artists and anything that stands to make a profit yeah I think labels will keep fearfully holding things back thinking that the right song to launch it is always just around the corner. for a while it seemed like Koch having big hits could change the climate but now Koch is working more like the majors than vice versa.

I mean, I like that someone politely explained to Busta that saying "A-rab" is mad offensive, but i think it flows better the original way.

haha pretty sure i said basically the same thing in last year's autoringsnap thread

song is wack as fuck but dudes still got some ish

i like that song a lot but i don't like his dre 3k pop stuff as much as his rapping. yall should look out for "im dat nigga" w/ t.i. - dark, scary beat and dudes rapping their asses off

his hi! my name is b.o.b mixtape is kind of essential because it showcases all the shit that he can do w/ out it looking like genre hopping

also "ill be in the sky" isn't overwrought, where as andre 3k's stuff "hey ya" aside is like LOOK AT ME ARTIST - i just think this dude is talented and wants to make some shit that isn't totally rap

"I'll Be In the Sky" sounds like solo Cee-Lo more than Andre imo.

ive heard the b.o.b. mixtape i know he can do more than this but yeah this song is basically just some andre 1000 shit

you mean 30% chance that 30% of it's actually fire

to this day I will never not be a sucker for dudes kinda trading off lines and stepping on top of each other like on Brooklyn's Finest...

there's something kinda n/h about the way you phrased that but yeah totally...if anything it's more exciting now than it used to be, because it proves the MCs actually sat in the same studio and worked together, and didn't just have their engineers e-mail files to each other to 'collab.'

haha yeah kinda n/h but yeah it just gets me hyped like some old school shit, just goin' hard. (n/h)

i think brooklyn's finest might be my top 10 songs of all time.

it's so amazing because ppl try to do stuff like that all the time like the nas and jay-z black republican thing, like it's supposed to be some big deal, but that song actually was the dudes in their prime and is actually just a next level dope song on it's own...also manages to showcase the best things about biggie and jay's flows....if that comes up on shuffle i will seriously listen to it like five times in a row.

also classic in that style: "broken language"

m@tt that link is "This file has been removed due to copyright infrigment "

deej send me an email thru ilx

thnx m@tt

in xchange heres some shit off the new daz -- cant wait for this to drop
http://www.zshare.net/audio/54125754fb09db91/

finally one of the good plies songs dropped as a video/single
http://videos.onsmash.com/v/XSQi9GcllbWM7bPq

new ugk single is dope

anyone have a re-up of that freeway month of madness zip? i hate getting around to checking for a mixtape 2 whole weeks after it's been out and every link everywhere is expired.

i think brooklyn's finest might be my top 10 songs of all time.

BROOKLYN'S FINEST POLL

^^^thread that died on its ass.

Get it? Two... packs.

just here to say that this song is still the shit
http://www.last.fm/music/Pastor+Troy/_/Police+Can%27t+Break+It+Up

on mstrkrft's new album:

What's unclear is how this second-rate Justice got Ghostface, Freeway, John Legend, N.O.R.E., E-40, and Lil' Mo to guest on their album.

WHAT THE FUCK GHOST?!?!

That's way WTF Freeway and E-40. Ghost has indie cred, and Nore seems like the type that wkiw anybody.

way more*

let's make sure this isn't a t.i. ft jay-z "rubberband man" style "collabo" before we get all up in arms

The Nore track's been making the rounds for a while and features Nore yelling "MSTRKRT", so I assume this is all real.

the question was actually supposed to be directed at ghost. it wasn't a "wtf". like, im kinda pissed

yeah and i think they took it to the farthest extent to which this experiment can be tolerated. with that nore track

Yeah, cause Ghost hasn't shown willingness in the past to work with anyone who can cut a check. Not at all.

Let's argue about something less retarded.

ghost already did that track with Cassius and it was dope.

i like boosie and all but im getting off the bus when he starts rapping about stonewashed jeans

let's make sure this isn't a t.i. ft jay-z "rubberband man" style "collabo" before we get all up in arms

i scratched my head about that for like 30 seconds before i figured out that you i guess mean "bring em out"?

some dude:

this might still work, this is where i got month of madness

http://www.zshare.net/download/5352427905031d16/

aaaand...that one doesn't work, oops should have checked

think this one works - http://www.zshare.net/download/53578199cca25903/

NORE really will spit on anything if you throw some paper at him, he rapped on the single of a dude from Glasgow last year, it's absolutely atrocious (the track) and the word was it cost them like 30k for his verse o_0

altho it's a shame that ghostface and freeway will be sullied by blogster hip dance connection.

one of my resolutions for '09 is to spend less time sweating whether my favorite rappers have hipster cooties

^good idea

ya if you dont pay attention to shit like mtsrkrft it's easy to not give a shit

plus at this point doing collabs with wack artists is a pretty mild offense. if Free and Ghost start wearing Urkel glasses, fauxhawks and chains shaped like characters from Tiny Toon Adventures, then I'll call foul.

something you guys may be interested in Here

you're the worst poster on ilx fwiw

thanks

Keepin' it positive

rick ross haters need not apply

yeah that beat is a motherfucker

ross is about to drop as many dope albums in the 2000s as jay z

what a world

i actually like that ross song u_u

better if he thinks he has to work to keep selling records instead of dropping generic bullshit raps

this new skyzoo joint 'on fire' samples the same track as my favorite potna deuce song:

lol this is johnny z who produced that potna deuce album!! i cant believe there were days were records by like n2deep would go gold

ross hater #1 here but that song is dope, damn. lol @ "the rumors turn me on, i'm masturbatin' at the top"

Concerning the metal thread, I said I would be up for doing some sort of 2008 ringtone poll. I thought I'd ask here first though, what would you autogoons like to see, if one was done? Albums/mixtapes? Tracks? Would you think it would be stupid and pointless? etc. etc.

All suggestions welcome.

it would be fun in theory but i think we all know our tastes well enough - or, all post/read this thread frequently enough - that the results really wouldn't be a surprise. i would send a ballot in if it actually happened but i guess i think it would be superfluous unless there were like 20+ votes, cuz if it was just ppl who read this thread + 3 or 4 lurkers it wouldn't be necessary

Yeah, fair enough. I was thinking it might be more of a benefit to people who don't really know where to start w/ modern hiphop (like me looking at the metal one and thinking, hey, this is a genre i nothing about but am mightily intruiged by, if that makes sense.)

but even then, i guess, the actual 2008 poll will be chuck full of it. i may wait to see the results of that before i decide to do one.

here is shit that would place in the poll if you're interested:

- young jeezy - the recession
- scarface - emeritus
- g-side - starshipz and rocketz
- a.b.n - it is what it is
- lil wayne - tha carter III
- killer mike - pledge allegiance to the grind vol. 2
- lil boosie - da beginnig
- q-tip - the renaissance

those are albums tho im probably missing some shit

i really should get that killer mike.

Hip hop portraiture in the style of the old masters.

btw is that chick in the skull gang xmas video a tranny?

that rick ross track! would never have believed it.

nappy roots' the humdinger was a consensus 08 album, was it not? ditto bun b's ii trill. and i think t.i.'s paper trail ended up growing on lots of people. a trax poll might be interesting but tbh i think the window of caring about 08 polls has snapped shut.

here's some A+ uk ringtone...ghetto's 'sing for me'. ghetts is def one of the best mcs in grime right now.

(figured it wasn't worth trying to resuscitate the actual grime thread, and this is where any ilx interest in grime will be, if it exists at all)

lex that beat is fire

damn that Rick Ross is fire

here is shit that would place in the poll if you're interested:

- young jeezy - the recession
- scarface - emeritus
- g-side - starshipz and rocketz
- a.b.n - it is what it is
- lil wayne - tha carter III
- killer mike - pledge allegiance to the grind vol. 2

apparently consensus isn't that predictable if you're naming stuff i've never even heard of like "g-side", wtf is that

BLOCK BEATAZ

http://www.thefader.com/ys_assets/0006/7603/gside_main.jpg

id be kind of interested in seeing ppls lists of rap albums that arent in that list of consensus picks actually

OH...BLOCK BEATAZ...SLOW MOTION SOUNDZ...TWO MORE NAMES I'VE NEVER HEARD IN MY LIFE, THANKS FOR THE HELP...

ship you're sleeping, but then again you don't post in the "rollin" thread

rollin rollin rollin we aint slept in weeks

oh it's the Mad Decent hipster cooties guys? alright, i still haven't heard anything besides the song on the Rich Boy mixtape.

that album is way more album oriented - just sounds like some 8ball & mjg shit except the production is mid-00s trance synth shit

and the dudes arent as good at rapping

G-Side aren't as distinctive of rappers as Ball & G, but yeah, it's dope.

(xp)

g-side is hot as fuck imo

btw XD at the fake Big Rube

sorry he1g3son i think this is the most boring supergroup ever

$5 to anyone who makes it through all 4 verses

crooked i > royce > and i cant decide whether joell ortiz or joe budden's self indulgent bullshit is more boring

too bad you have to wait 6 mins to get to the best verse

don't feel like retyping my thoughts so

deej: most dull supergroup ever
me: what is slaughterhouse
deej: joell ortiz, joe budden, royce & crooked i
me: haha lol @ supergroup
me: i bet you matt helgeson hasn't stopped busting nuts
deej:
me: it's like they formed with the express consent of selling one record
me: to him
me: im gonna watch right now
me: wow 8 mins christ almighty
me: joe budden sux
me: ortiz is aight but he's a little to I LOVE HIP HOP LISTEN TO ME RAP FORCEFULLY for my taste
every verse is like that
deej: ugh yeah
deej: hes not very good
deej: i wanted him to be
me: yeah me too
deej: intentionally trying to be multidimensional never sounded so one dimensional
me: yeah otm
me: is this a red hot chilli peppers sample in the chorus or something?
me: what the hell
deej: haha no idea
deej: crooked i has the best verse
deej: too bad it takes 6 mins to get to it
me: haha
me: crooked I doesn't really have a career does he
me: the worst part of joe budden
me: is that his references are way too fresh
me: mood muzik had puns about like fiascogate

Is that the track that has two separate Yung Berg zings? You can never have enough Yung Berg zings.

and in this one he makes a benjamin button reference!!?? budden needs to gtfo the internet

the real yung berg zing is that he was caught on film getting arrested

(more info)
Yung Berg arrested on South Beach Miami for weed and being STUPID!!!
Category: People & Blogs

And one of the arresting officers is a black woman. Will the indignities never end for Berg?

he handled that aight i thought but lol @ him crashing that shit and then the cop referring to it as a "scooter" because naturally yung berg would drive a scooter

lolz @ his manager trying to get his jewelery & telling the cops hes wearing $50,000 worth & weighs 100 lbs

someone has to sample the "my legs are spread, sir" part of that vid

lol Rhymefest also had a corny Fiascogate pun on the Michael Jackson mixtape

at first I thought Slaughterhouse had five members so I was gonna give them props for a weird subtle Vonnegut reference but I guess it's only four guys, anyway fuck 'em all.

Now, I'm intrigued to hear this for some reason.

it's really just boring

they need to do a concept album about how hurt and betrayed and taken for granted each of them felt when they were dropped from their respective major label deals.

lol

yung berg's "it's just marijuana" is so rueful

if he had any sense he'd turn this into a show on tru tv so he doesn't have to get a job at cvs in two years

is he actually from london? i apologise

late on this but "i'm signed to universal records. im a recording artist" lol lol lol lol

lol, i meant to post that to the 77 mixtapedia thread yesterday but never did. as far as cheesy reenactments of classic album covers it's not bad, although i'm sure this guy's a real thundercat rapper.

Was "This Year's Mixtape" really too far a stretch for this guy that he had to pun on an album that came out half a decade later from a completely different genre?

Intelligent comments here.

xxxpost I was really excited because I thought it was gonna be some Smiths-themed mixtape, then I saw the cover and I was confused, then I didn't listen to it

Let's not do a list of Smiths/rap themed puns, thanks.

Although I always thought Moz going "You just haven't earned it yet baby" would work well as part of a scratch chorus.

So Koch no longer exists; they've rebranded as "E-1 Records".
I assume this is a response to the label being a punchline.

that's really odd...I think their reputation the last few years as an artist-friendly label that pays better than the majors and can still get songs on the radio the last couple years has far outweighed the "graveyard for former major label artists" stigma it used to have...combine that with the weird decision to make Jim Jones a VP and maybe they're headed in the same direction as TVT...

yeah, some dude otm re: koch

so who is signed to Atlantic right now -- it seems like they're the only major who's really picking up tons of rap artists at the moment whats up w/ that

hmm, i dunno, who besides Maino? I mean I guess there's like B.O.B. and Yung LA but they were just on Grand Hustle which was already on Atlantic.

juvenile, b.g., 9th ward gucci, gucci mane, D4L, Diddy, Flo Rida, Gorilla Zoe, missy, lupe, trick daddy, young joc

+ all of grand hustle (t.i., big kuntry, p$c, etc)
