if this stops at least one British person from posting about rap on ILX, then I'll consider it a success.

Am I going to have to look at this title all year?

The Reverend, Thursday, 2 January 2014 00:39 (eleven years ago)

what's worse about looking at this all year than "rolling ophthalmology"?

ol' Wrink P's thinkpiece (some dude), Thursday, 2 January 2014 00:42 (eleven years ago)

You won't have learned how to spell 'ophthalmology' by the end of the year

Twista released a rappin-ass-rappin EP a couple weeks back titled Back to Basics. I wasn't expecting much but it's crazy good if you like 90s Twista and the Speedknot Mobstaz.

Those strings by The Legendary Traxster on Ferocious.

Spottie, Thursday, 2 January 2014 05:58 (eleven years ago)

what kind of monster doesn't like 90s twista?

i saw him play at this party at e3 once, he did this thing where the DJ kept speeding up the BPM on the beat and he just kept flowing faster and faster and faster, was one of the best fucking live gimmicks i've ever seen in my life

ilx snitch (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 2 January 2014 14:23 (eleven years ago)

dude totally set the bar for clarity and fluency of live performance back in the day

good looking out on the Twista EP, hadn't heard about that at all. i think he's better at soft batch R&B crossover rap than probably anybody besides Fabolous, but it's still cool for him to just stunt with the flow too.

ol' Wrink P's thinkpiece (some dude), Thursday, 2 January 2014 18:39 (eleven years ago)

That Yo clip is awesome, so 90s! "everybody's jumpin now" hahaha.

Spottie, Thursday, 2 January 2014 20:52 (eleven years ago)

His flow is pretty Das Efx'y there but he later turned those short bursts of speed into full verses/songs.

Spottie, Thursday, 2 January 2014 20:58 (eleven years ago)

Dad Efx is so great

ilx snitch (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 2 January 2014 22:01 (eleven years ago)

I like Das Efx but can only take a couple songs at a time.

Spottie, Thursday, 2 January 2014 22:06 (eleven years ago)

Problem kinda reminds me of Kurupt, something in his voice

some dude, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 16:24 (eleven years ago)

it feels like Problem, Iamsu and YG are constantly jockeying for the same spot in the mainstream and it's not really clear who's gonna come out on top. "Function" was such a prescient song.

some dude, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 16:26 (eleven years ago)

iamsu seems pretty minor to me... i doubt people rocking to iamsu radio joints even know who he is

problem will probably never be a huge deal outside of LA

le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 16:52 (eleven years ago)

YG is interesting tho cuz he kinda walked into a major hit & now has a pretty great song with a drake feature on deck

i'm pretty excited about that album for whatever reason

le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 16:53 (eleven years ago)

i really love every iamsu production i hear but it never translates into investigating further or keeping up with him for some reason

lex pretend, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 17:01 (eleven years ago)

Is there a way to turn off YouTubes without turning off images? Or are you guys using a browser plugin?

Murgatroid, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 17:41 (eleven years ago)

when your album won't give you a release date for your album, leaking your b-sides seems like a better alternative to leaking your album, idk:

never had any problems with images/youtubes turned on

Spottie, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:14 (eleven years ago)

considering that you can't even turn off images on twitter anymore it's more precious than ever that we have that option on ilx

some dude, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:17 (eleven years ago)

if you want to see an image you can still click on it, it's not like they're lost to you

lex pretend, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:20 (eleven years ago)

ok guys I'll turn them off

Spottie, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 18:38 (eleven years ago)

i want more youtubes rather than less.

So, uhm, 'bob'? What is the deal? I downloaded the Sicko Mobb-tape and it is... weird... I can't stop listening to it, but it's still possible that I abhor it. Transformer might be the worst song I've ever heard, and it might be a brilliant aural portrait of overdosing on E. Dunno.

Creators of hip-hop and punk have always shared a rebellious attitude, and at times, both dance around the edges of the law. Perhaps for this reason, Blanco & The Jacka pay tribute to legendary punk outfit Misfits on the cover of an album containing hard-hitting street rap. The credits on the album Misfits read like a Who's Who of cutting-edge hip-hop; produced in full by MPC virtuoso AraabMuzik, the album features guests including Freeway, Mistah F.A.B., and Krondon. This album's slick lyrics and tight production were too much to hold back - Blanco's label Guerilla Entertainment is now releasing Misfits for free download.

there were recently a lot of headlines about what guests would be on Honest and Pharrell and Pusha were in the list...i'd imagine anything getting released now this close to the album is a lock, although it's odd of him to drop a 'street single' like this while "Sh!t" is buzzing when it's really a radio record he needs after the Miley song tanked.

what % of it is Mustard? obvious him having a heavy role is a big part of the album's potential but i'm almost kinda curious to hear YG on other beats more at this point.

they said he did 9 songs. ty dolla produced one, though not the one he sings on, which was done by terrace martin. metro boomin has a beat but they didn't say which one. then there are a few other non-mustard beats, but i think by more unknown local LA guys.

at least off one listen nothing struck me as obviously not dj mustard, though maybe it will seem clearer on subsequent plays.

In an interview this past January with Vladimir Lyubovny, a d.j. whose popular YouTube channel VladTV is sort of like rap’s “Larry King Live,” T-Pain talked about being brought in as a consultant during the recording of “808s and Heartbreaks.” At one point during the session, Kanye wrote a song about how dumb all of T-Pain’s ideas were. He then proceeded, T-Pain said, to make “everybody in the studio join in with him to sing, like, ‘T-Pain’s shit is weak.’ ” In the same interview, T-Pain recalled encountering Future’s brother at a Thanksgiving fundraiser and telling him he was eager to collaborate with Future. But instead of offering to pass on the message, the guy looked at T-Pain and said to him, “My brother would never fucking work with you. Fuck you and everything you stand for.”

‘Catch the Throne’ tracklist unveiled, first song debuts
By Ours is the Fury on March 6, 2014
Filed Under: Marketing, Media
Just a day after fans learned hip hop artists will be releasing a mixtape of Game of Thrones-inspired music, even more details about “Catch the Throne” have been provided, courtesy of Billboard. The full tracklist has now been unveiled, and Billboard reveals that some performers “nerded out” more than others, with rappers like Common making multiple specific references to the show. Three artists took on each season, with Big Boi, Bodega Bamz and Magazeen handling season 1; Kilo Kish, Daddy Yankee and Dominik Omega on season 2; and Common, Snow Tha Product and Dee Goodz tackling season 3.

The tracklist for “Catch the Throne”:

1. Big Boi – “Mother of Dragons”
2. Magazeen – “Iron Throne”
3. Bodega Bamz – “Win or Die”
4. Kilo Kish – “Magical Reality”
5. Daddy Yankee – “Born to Rule”
6. Dominik Omega – “Arya’s Prayer”
7. Snow – “Fire”
8. Dee Goodz – “The Parallel”
9. Common – “Interlude/The Ladder”
10. Wale – “King Slayer”

As a bonus, one of the songs has made its debut already. “King Slayer” by Wale heavily features the main theme from Game of Thrones and samples from the late Ned Stark.

I see that a little. the bass is nice enough but the claps/snares don't snap with much impact, kinda chintzy on certain songs.There's some nice details to appreciate in spots tho (guitar on Me & My B*). Mustard should hang with Ant Banks for a bit and learn a thing or two.

I like this album enough.

I think the Do It To Ya beat is an interesting interpolation of 'Let's Play House'

Drake song is cool but he totally jacked his opening flow from Rappin 4tay off playaz club.

The thing about drums and snaps on Mustard-beats is that they are placed perfectly. No, they don't sound especially great, it's sort of the same sound on every track, but they just enter each track on exactly the perfect moment.

Also, Mustard is great at having half the track hitting one way, and the other half hitting another way, and thereby making listeners get hit two ways at the same - damn - time.

Frederik B, Sunday, 16 March 2014 02:37 (eleven years ago)

think "Act Right" and "Function" are good examples of Mustard-sounding beats that I don't have the same issues with

nova, Sunday, 16 March 2014 05:02 (eleven years ago)

yeah those 2 songs are low key better than nearly Mustard's entire catalog (although i don't have a problem with his drums per se)

forks I think that's a weird thing with spotify's search engine. if you're only seeing the edited version on the artist's page, try searching for the album itself. usually brings up the explicit.

liking the YG album a lot, like how a lot of young west coast cats (also Kendrick & Dom Kennedy) are able to do stuff that at once feels current and fresh but still part of the traditions of west coast hip hop (but not like playing period dress up like say Joey Bada$$ as an east coast example - who i like ok but still)

well sequenced album too, i like how it progresses, you see the most ignorant party part of him first then it moves slowly to more introspective stuff by the end

kendrick's def in that place where every cameo verse he does feels like a mini-event, he doesn't phone shit in

Gibbs was sort of a blind alley in Jeezy's narrative anyway. It was only after he dumped him and turned (back) to pop that he became relevant again, so I doubt those disses hurt too much.

longneck, Thursday, 20 March 2014 09:12 (eleven years ago)

i think in general it's just not too damaging to be dissed by someone who's 1% as successful as you, especially if the grounds are basically "wahhh you failed to make me famous."

lex pretend, Monday, 24 March 2014 21:56 (eleven years ago)

okay well, like i said i was asking her maybe too many questions and i don't think she was like real close w/him or anything so hopefully i didn't seem too weird

but anyway

they both went/lived in a decent, inner ring suburban district of St. Louis....

she said he was very short

also a very elite athlete, like definitely a jock

but overall, she remembered him and said that everyone thought of him as the "class clown" and he was always making jokes in class, etc, said he was pretty funny...

sounds like she was in a different social orbit then him but he was generally nice to ppl even if he was more from the athlete crowd

one thing was interesting: she said she was very surprised later when he got big as a rapper, just because she had never known him to have a lot of interest in music, and didn't remember him trying to be a rapper or musician in high school at all, so maybe that was an interest that came later?

anyway wish i coulda got more but still kinda cool

Okay, this is driving me nuts: on boosie's 'show the world' the piano line (minus guitar vamps at the end) is reminiscent of a song by a female rapper and I can't remember if it's lil kim or remy ma or what. Help?

I remember when I first found a hip hop message board-- summer of 1995 I believe--and the ideological divide that later became backpacker/mainstream was already there--there was disdain for most West Coast music (aside from Hiero) and most gangsta rap (including 2Pac and Scarface) and much love for East Coast crews (Native Tongues, DITC, Wu-Tang, Bootcamp) as well as the Roots and Organized Konfusion. There were cries of betrayal when It Was Written and Life After Death came out.

Gates is probably content with underground hits like "Satellites," which got some airplay.

anyway saying you aren't seeking a hit isn't the same as not wanting a hit

rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 17 April 2014 17:10 (eleven years ago)

Even on his poppier tracks, Gates leans too heavily on the personal/emotional side to catch on with radio listeners who aren't necessarily trying to seek out the rest of his material and understand him as a person. I mean, Drake had to lead with "Best I Ever Had," those mixtapes, and the Young Money tracks before he could sell the introspective shit on Thank Me Now and Take Care.

Weird how non-enthused the reaction to Lil Herb is. The first 3 tracks or so are a bit dull, but really picks up after that. Who knows how he'll develop, maybe nowhere interesting, but it's still his first tape after all.

MikoMcha, Saturday, 19 April 2014 13:52 (eleven years ago)

Don't get me wrong, I'm enthused and like the tape. It sounds to me though like a talented kid who hasn't figured out exactly how he wants his art to sound or whose heart isn't fully in it yet to me.

I never said anything about who had more talent as if that's even quantifiable either, but keef has applied his in more effective ways so far, IMO

I didn't mean to compare him to Wayne directly stylistically, I just meant the quantity of different collaborations/projects.

Gates can flat out rhyme, lots of great tracks on the new tape ("Movie," "Wish I Had It"), but there's some violent misogyny on "Posed to Be in Love" which is very distracting and somewhat out of character.

While riding home drunk on the subway last night, I found The Devil's Violence to be really affecting. It seemed a bit too on the nose when I first listened to it -- rapping under the name The Devil, calling the mixtape Violence and filling it with blasts of noise, news reports about death and violence, etc. But in my drunken focus I heard in it trap/drill-as-horrorcore; cartoonish violence and swaggy nihilism pitched as horrifying reality.

it's a bizarre closer though, i almost didn't listen because it's preceded by her COMPLETELY CRINGE dancehall appropriation and i felt really bludgeoned by a million vague ~inspirational choruses and then you get that sub-3 min thing to finish it off and it's like well where was this all the time

Literary elites love to rep Shakespeare’s vocabulary: across his entire corpus, he uses 28,829 words, suggesting he knew over 100,000 words and arguably had the largest vocabulary, ever.
I decided to compare this data point against the most famous artists in hip hop. I used each artist’s first 35,000 lyrics.

the spectrum is DMX to aesop rock apparently; at least this guy never seems to suggest this means anything in terms of lyrical or musical quality.

as much as LA has been doing lately, including 3 previous Freshmen dropping major label albums this year, it's kinda funny that they had to cram in a singer to represent the west coast at all.

he's pretty good; introspective R&B. mainstream critics love him and he's selling very well and he's got rappers on every track. i assume he's added here to sell magazines to young women?

http://noisey.vice.com/blog/troy-ave-rap-game-george-w-bush

festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 30 May 2014 00:46 (eleven years ago)

as a sorta fan of troy ave i can't really be mad at that article, i mean...a lot of what he's saying is right, though he left out in the talk about the stuff wrt weirdo rappers and their shorts is the really nasty homophobia that unfortunately has been pretty traditional in hip hop but is usually worst with NYC street dudes like this.

that said, the george bush thing seems a bit MUCH...and honestly i mean rappers talking out of their ass about how great they are and how they are starting some "movement" is so typical as to be not that big of a deal to me....

but yeah i dug the one troy ave album, it was comfort food NYC shit but there's nothing inherently wrong with that any more than it's wrong that people still perform blues or folk music or punk rock or w/e, if they have good songs and beats i don't really care

though i also think that rap is sort of slowing down, the huge revolutions aren't ever going to come every few years like they did in the early part of the music, and that's natural...

dollar rave club (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 May 2014 01:12 (eleven years ago)

the only thing i found really objectionable was the end where he was trying to hold up the A$APs and French Montana as an example of NYers who don't trade on nostalgia for earlier generations of NY rap. A$AP Mob's last big video was a totally '90s homage featuring Method Man. and French Montana recently redid 2 Biggie hooks on Rick Ross's album and his most high profile verse at the moment, on Chris Brown's single, is almost entirely cobbled together from old bars by Ma$e and Biggie and Jay-Z.

ςὖτ ιτ Οὖτ (some dude), Friday, 30 May 2014 01:34 (eleven years ago)

He also reps for dudes like mayhem lauren and exquire who aren't any less indebted to hip hop history than troy ave is ... not wild about that article also just bc it feels like unnecessary grandstanding, not rlly sure what he's trying to prove?

the Iamsu is my current candidate for album of the summer, favorite rap album of the year so far really. there's some weaker songs and "I Love My Squad" is terrible but overall really good. underrated production crew too.

"What You 'Bout" is probably my fave although this is the second time an album I'm interested in hearing this year has had a crappy Wiz Khalifa verse, this needs to be addressed

he is not as good of a rapper, or as radical of a stylist as keef, doubt he will have nearly as large of an aesthetic impact.

Possibly the best part of his set was when he debuted a new trap-esque song that is slated for his next project and then spit a second verse that would tongue-tie Kendrick Lamar

Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla $ on "Ninja Rap 2014"

http://youtu.be/zss1EHSuT1A

dilligaf escape plan (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 22 July 2014 17:52 (eleven years ago)

“[Paramount] heard about how big of a fan I was of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their whole legacy,” says Wiz Khalifa. “I actually have Donatello tattooed on my leg, so when they asked me to do it, just being a fan and being a musician, it made sense. In my generation, I think everyone who listens to me loves the Turtles as much as I do, so it just made sense.”

“It’s hella crazy being included in the music for the Ninja Turtles movie,” says West Coast singer/songwriter/producer Ty Dolla $ign. “You know, being a fan and everything, this is super surreal. ‘Shell Shocked’ is so different from what people are used to hearing from Ty Dolla $ign. Plus, Wiz and Juicy killed it like they always do. It’s a perfect song for this movie.”

"I grew up on the Ninja Turtles, so when I heard about this, I knew it would be dope,” says Juicy J. “The special effects and art in this movie are crazy and producer Michael Bay is a legend. I’m excited to be a part of this film on the ‘Shell Shocked’ track with Wiz and Ty.”

broadly labeling a unspecified subsection of a generation of modern musicians working in a relatively new musical tradition as "unintentional parodists" by dint of generally unremarked and apparently presumed-to-be-obvious qualities is an impressively casual sneer, especially when dispensed so broadly and with so little clear intent. kudos for that.

the Childish Major tracks are really generic chintzy Southern rap IMO, dude sounds way better over soul shit or really towering massive beats which I think "4 Zones" is. "Addicted" is nice tho although YG's verse is super-lol

deej loaf (D-40), Sunday, 14 September 2014 22:32 (eleven years ago)

you can't be in the pocket and out of the pocket at the same time, it's one or the other. like people make fun of Big Sean on "All Me" but his timing is totally on point, i don't know what those guys are doing though.

first good british rap song ever?

Slick Rick adlibs an "eh" at your naive self

Raccoon Tanuki, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 15:05 (eleven years ago)

On the midwest rap tip, i've been listening to Icewear Vezzo for about a year now. He's pretty good.

Here's his last tape : http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/27011/icewear-vezzo-the-clarity-3.html

ANU (sisilafami), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 15:57 (eleven years ago)

i wouldn't consider slick rick a british rapper

u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 17:35 (eleven years ago)

He's not American though.. officially. British passport, born/raised in London till 12, British parents, raps with a British accent, was deported back to England by US government. Was going to say this is ridiculous and what matters is being in New York at the time but then again he was so different in everything he did big argument to be made for his Britishnessness being the key to that I guess.

Raccoon Tanuki, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 20:16 (eleven years ago)

he was heavily influenced by Dana Dane

u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 25 September 2014 16:01 (eleven years ago)

the reason it keeps coming up is bc certain ppl cant fathom the idea that someone would rap off beat as an intentional stylistic choice & that it's a lack of facility w/ the genre or developmental disability that must be the cause

deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:09 (eleven years ago)

also certain ppl tend to get obsessions with certain artists and can't fathom any criticism of said artist and get to be a little humorless wrt to said artist

Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 16:37 (eleven years ago)

If you're talking about rapper producers I reccommend Tree, infinitely better than Travis scott

deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 16:37 (eleven years ago)

In basically every category: creativity, originality, writing, number of great songs, taste, etc

deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 16:39 (eleven years ago)

the fact travis scott generates strong hatred from about a half of the internet fans lends him strong credibility. It's always been that way for the most creative. The fact he's doing something to make you hate him means he's doing something different.

"nokia" >> "look at wrist" but makonnen's verse kinda ruins the song

really hate "u guessed it". the beat is amazing but the vocal is so repellent. feels like a rap comedy meme

"try me" is pretty amazing, trae seems less gruff? kinda like the contrast between trae all hyper-alert and young thug all woo let's get wasted.

wristwristwristwrist would be better without makonnen. everything would be better without makonnen

alpine static, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:08 (ten years ago)

don't get me wrong, it's honestly kind of great. i'm 27 and had to go digging to find the stuff that LL made his bones with; I didn't hear it at the time of release or even that soon after. but folks my age and around it salivate over the possibility of mockery (not that that's news to anyone)

i mean hell, as far as tracks by assumed-to-be-washed-and/or-in-different-careers rappers go, this is light-years ahead of the singles dre released in 2011/12. which might sound like damning with faint praise bc those were terrible. this is legit.

How well does her album hold up though? I haven't listened to it in ages.

better than you'd think. the first real track on it, "she's gone," is incredible. "whuteva," "i'm", "thug love" and "crazy" are all solid. obviously "conceited" is still a jam.

slothroprhymes, Thursday, 16 October 2014 20:35 (ten years ago)

this just reminds me how well so much mid-2000s rap holds up. you can still listen to all the T.I. albums from that era front to back. or diplomatic immunity. or most beanie sigel and cam'ron albums from that period. or freeway. we could go on.

Too me she benefits greatly from a context where an artist w/ a distinct & novel aesthetic has brought her to his world, and she actually brings a lot to him as well, think its a great tape but thats partly bc it's a new style that owes her old style a debt so there's something v. contiguous about it, works very well i think

deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 16 October 2014 23:04 (ten years ago)

i have a lot of residual affection for snoop but he spent a year playing rasta for a paycheque; if he feels able to go after iggy like this because she's faking it, maybe it's a game recognise game thing. deej otm re "fancy"

i don't know much about beatking (thx for pointing him my way tho!), i found it interesting that she just found him online and intuited they'd have chemistry, which they do even though they've never met! she's on fire in general though - the album with la chat is seriously good as well.

this junglepussy mixtape is really great, she has a ton of charisma: https://soundcloud.com/vice/sets/junglepussys-satisfaction-guaranteed

any thoughts on the tip album? it has its moments! it feels like a potted history of the last 10 years of rap, and i think it avoids the incoherent mishmash pitfall but unfortunately falls into the "pharrell 2014 is a menace" pitfall. also feels like a bit of a showcase for t.i.'s label + his famous friends. the boosie and trae trax are probably best. "new national anthem" is an interesting one, it's well-intentioned and you want to champion its sentiments but it's sort of...too self-conscious in its Importance? too blustery, and chucking the black woman who wrote it (victoria monet) off the hook for ultimate bland white girl skylar grey is baffling. (lady gaga had expressed interest in doing the hook, but obviously that didn't pan out.)

lex pretend, Friday, 17 October 2014 12:47 (ten years ago)

I tried listening to the tip album but it sounded like it really wanted to be a Jay-Z album from 2002 or something. When Thugga came on the cloud briefly lifted, but once he left Skylar Grey started singing and I turned the whole thing off.

Here's the chorus, as reconstructed through Rap Genius explainations

Future’s been everywhere and seen all types of people. Future told the girl to shake her ass and stop, but the girl stopped and thought about it, she wasn’t trying to do all that. Future knew the girl was ready for the dick after she got naked. The girl is supposed to fuck as good as a porn star but she playin around too much. The girl’s pussy isn’t all that ppl think it is, its weak.

his shit allows kids in that demographic to safely brush against hip-hop culture without feeling uncomfortable. its fairly pop-crossovery at its core without being pure rap&b. and the stoner-icon aspect is also a factor - they're used to seeing snoop dogg as a colorful, stoned rap teddy bear instead of the dude who cut "murder was the case," and wiz is like that in miniature.

slothroprhymes, Friday, 17 October 2014 17:09 (ten years ago)

Dave Chappelle has a bit about how all white people talk about when they're high is other times they got high. Wiz Khalifa is what would happen if that quote came to life. He makes high music for high people who like to talk about how high they are all the time. You could see how that would appeal to a suburban teen or a college sophomore.

'if his latest album, Pullin' Strings, is not the best gangster rap album of 2014,'

^ It's not been a particularly good year imo but hopefully you don't actually think that. I seem to be in the minority here but I can't deal with another album with trap influenced 'lets see how long we can sustain the 808 kick for' production that doesn't come from anywhere near the south.

grant holt (prettylikealaindelon), Monday, 20 October 2014 17:25 (ten years ago)

The 808 kick has sustained for 30+ years I'm sure we can make it a few more

deej loaf (D-40), Monday, 20 October 2014 17:59 (ten years ago)

I think you know it wasn't used in the way I describe all those years. I love the 808 but trap since lex luger has been different in it's over reliance on flooding the mix with bass and it's just everywhere the last few years. To me there's quite a big difference between the likes of drumma boy and say 808 mafia

grant holt (prettylikealaindelon), Monday, 20 October 2014 18:16 (ten years ago)

the southern trap drum sound has become so ubiquitous all over the rap landscape that it has long since ceased to irk me

in any case this a-wax album is pretty solid - i'm down with the bleakness.

deej, are there any other records/mixtapes in his back catalog worth digging into after this?

slothroprhymes, Monday, 20 October 2014 18:16 (ten years ago)

u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 20 October 2014 18:17 (ten years ago)

if you want to dig depper into a-wax's discography, I'd recommend his last 2 albums "jesus malverde" & "everybody loves me"

get jesus malverde for free here : http://waxfase.bandcamp.com/

for his older stuff, get "thug deluxe" @ "junior high 2 the penn the mixtape".

i'm the same way with T.I., or at least i was for a long time

alpine static, Monday, 20 October 2014 22:56 (ten years ago)

i think folks already talked about the new T.I. album when it leaked, but I gotta say, this intro track is so good it's gonna make me even more disappointed to hear how bad most of the album will be given tip's recent track record.

slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 15:35 (ten years ago)

the whole section about new atl rappers and gucci from this t.i. interview is interesting http://noisey.vice.com/blog/ti-interview-paperwork-2014

How did you end up bringing Young Thug in for “About the Money?”
I’d been hearing about him from my partner Peewee Roscoe, who’s the facilitator for Young Thug. After “Stoner” and “Danny Glover,” I told him “y'all come by the studio and see what we can do.” He showed up one day and we walked in and did “About the Money” in 30 minutes. And we just keep recording. We've got about 12 or 14 records now. That's what made me respect that generation. Thug brought me PeeWee Longway. Then I met Migos. Based off “Versace” I never really knew that they could rap. But meeting 'em and hearing 'em and experiencing these cats and seeing that even though they're different from what we did, there's still an adequate amount of skill set and artistry involved.

Everyone always calls Migos a flash in the pan, but if you meet them, it’s obvious they know what they're doing.
They’re playing possum, as they say. And Rich Homie Quan, I think, is probably one of the most developed, most poised rappers out. He balances that new school with a little bit of the classic shit too.

I think the younger generation of rappers was definitely wondering for a while what, say, you or Jeezy thought of their music.
The thing with me and Young Jeezy is most of these young cats came from up under Gucci. And of course, you know, nobody fucks with him. Just because he's, you know, a diarrhea mouth. And that association initially made people kind of standoffish. But as time went on, as human beings should always do, we realized we can't hold one person accountable for the next person's actions. You've got to really judge them based on their own merit.

man just read the rap thread from jan 2013, hilarious that all the ppl who have basically written off future this year were arguing w/ me that he was hip-hop's biggest personality & that gucci had no discernable personality, very weird period

deej loaf (D-40), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 23:20 (ten years ago)

Well you were still wrong lol. Future weirdly ran out of steam around the time when his album dropped but he still has personality and a pretty remarkable catalog. Most of the album holds up, too - it isn't as mind blowing as it needs to be but it's still better than most of the releases this year and also very distinct from what everyone else has been doing. His main problem has been the ascendance of Young Thug, who just makes everyone else seem old, you know? Gucci obviously has personality though. I'm not arguing w that.

longneck, Thursday, 23 October 2014 08:50 (ten years ago)

young thug and quan both exhibit more personality than him.

his personality seems kind of like 'douche' but im only basing that on him cheating on ciara

deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 23 October 2014 09:04 (ten years ago)

i think critically speaking people really kind of... developed a character for him that he had sort of sketched but had not really fully fleshed out? i think a lot of work was done for him in the persona category that wasn't quite supported on pluto let alone honest

snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 23 October 2014 11:55 (ten years ago)

yeah a lot of the purple prose about him seemed to have a touch of the fanfiction about it

though i also feel this way about young thug, so

lex pretend, Thursday, 23 October 2014 12:20 (ten years ago)

i can't really remember what persona future is supposed to have had. something about space? i always thought that was more to do with mike will's sci-fi production rather than anything future was saying.

i did think calling his album/song 'honest' was an indication he planned to open up a bit but in the end we got nothing, just being honest. he's boring in interviews too. even in the one where the guy pretended to have a child to try and get him to talk about being a father. that being said i'm quite regularly disappointed when one of my fav rappers (even those with fully developed on-record personalities!!!) can give the dryest interviews.

out here like a flopson (tpp), Thursday, 23 October 2014 12:21 (ten years ago)

if Future just did the trap shouters or just did the dreamy love songs he'd be one-dimensional, but since he excelled at both at the same (damn) time he got some points for versatility. the fact that he can write the emotional songs so well without revealing a whole lot about his inner life, or that he can write the dope boy songs so well without telling any real personal stories, is a bug or a feature depending how you feel about the songs i guess. whether he had a hot streak that cooled down just like every rapper every is pretty irrelevant to this convo, though. and "personality" seems like it's being used as some kind of weird euphemism for several other things.

some dude, Thursday, 23 October 2014 13:15 (ten years ago)

Substitute Everything alone shows more "personality" than most rappers. His main problem is that he's kinda shy and private, yeah.

the new Wu Tang song is pretty interesting! like so few raps songs try anything different in terms of structure, impressed with this

There Goes Ryan's Scion (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 4 November 2014 15:43 (ten years ago)

It would have been dope if they had recorded it 14 years ago and released it as a The W b-side. But since then they've kinda painfully forgotten their art.

longneck, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 15:56 (ten years ago)

i dont get who's listening to new jeezy.

Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 16:04 (ten years ago)

xxpost by that logic, should all roc marciano albums, many action bronson tapes/EPs and all joey bada$$ releases have been dropped in the 90s?

ok don't answer that re: joey bada$$. but yeah, i really dig this, the multipart structure is pretty fucking cool IMO

a dude eating another dude's leg in front of that dude (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 4 November 2014 16:04 (ten years ago)

to clarify myself I don't get who are the pople who were listening to young jeezy on a whim for brief periods in 2006 or w/e who are also now spending time listening to new young jeezy thats essentially the same as the old young jeezy but not quite as good and you are now a person who is 8 years older and obviously and hopefully not interested in listening to young jeezy. And he doesnt have new fans. If he did, they would just be listening to his first releases.

Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 16:07 (ten years ago)

Well yeah but then no one would have listened to them. There was too much better stuff around. My point however was that they're rusty and anything but razor sharp these days. The problem is in the execution, not the conception.

longneck, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 16:08 (ten years ago)

ok on wu, RZA stopped being interesting after Digital Bullet which at the time seemed a fairly dissapointing follow up to In Stereo but years later the beats held up better creatively than first thought ( a bit like In Stereo). There's no real explanation for why he fell off so bad b/c In Stereo showd the move away from samples he was one of the few early 90s producers who was clearly ahead of curve on that and capable without them. But anyway, he lost it around the kill bill time.

For this new beat, see Brooklyn Babies from digital bullet for him doing a slow down and up beat with singy parts far fa far better and any Wu fan who laregely ignored digital bullet for years that is interested in this hollow homogenous gloop he's serving up now is disrespecting his former self

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36xNsYYfwIc

Raccoon Tanuki, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 16:16 (ten years ago)

I thought the thing w/RZA was that his studio flooded and he lost a bunch of his equipment and tons of records

The mythic flood was around the release of Mef's Tical, I believe. It has nothing to do with his Bobby Digi persona, which came about when half the clan turned their back on his leadership around/after Forever.

I thought the thing w/RZA was that his studio flooded and he lost a bunch of his equipment and tons of records

that was 94, like above said, lost the tical beats, and lost the Deck debut album. Think the number given was 400 beats. same with qtip. same flood.

It's almost as if people form connections with artists that they don't abandon at the first sign of trends shifting

nothing to do with trends or radio relevance, that wasn't my point. Apologies if I hadn't realised people had formed deep emotional connections with Young Jeezy's music that couldn't fade over time.

there were ad libs before Jeezy but i feel like he kind of set the standard for the way southern rappers do ad libs now. Waka and Rich Homie Quan probably more influential than Migos on current trends in ad libs.

deej, is this from the higher-scored of the two keef tapes you recently wrote about? it ain't bad.

i still remain kind of unsold on him tho. his influence and initial freshness can't be denied, of course, but i think other dudes are doing the same thing better like king L and lil herb. also, the beats he's credited as making for himself are nowhere near as good as the production he got from young chop on the singles that got him attention, imo.

hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 15:41 (ten years ago)

he's much better than herb imo, preference for herb is a deference to old ideas of technical rapping. signal - noise wise, keef is way more focused & effective

louie is more up in the air, personally im a louie stan 1st, not sure you can say he's quite as radically reoriented the sound of rap as keef though

obv chop is a better producer than keef who's been doing it for 2 months but you're comparing apples & oranges.

its not about technique for me! if it was i'd be ranting about alphabetical slaughter or someshit. i find his point of view more appealing, reminds me a lot of what vince staples is doing now. king louie def isnt doing anything radically different from keef - just happen to prefer him

i think apples & oranges is a bit unfair bc the sounds are def similar, but i didnt know keef was that new to it and i can def give him some benefit of the doubt

deej you are creating an oppositional thing & a false notion that one approach is necessarily better than another. obviously through the history of rap, MCs have had wildly varying degrees of technical ability and there have been great and terrible MCs on both sides. but to say that everyone who doesn't enjoy keith is beholden to old ideas and that keef necessarily represents "progress" is just phony. i think i have a good understanding of why you like keef and do enjoy some of his material myself, just not to the degree that you do. thinking that keef is pretty one-note as an artist or that sometimes his sloppiness verges from engaging to annoying....and i also think that being technically adept like say kendrick is can be an asset just as much as keef's all-over the beat style

and i am arguing with you that keef is not 'one note,' that this characterization is based in a lack of experience w/ his material, that his breadth as an artist—in trying to convey ideas & truth—is much wider and deeper than herb's. this 'technical prowess' thing has been used throughout the years to marginalize incredibly talented rappers cf too short or pimp c or eazy e or mystikal or dmx, who didn't fit into the rakim -> nas mold of rapping, not just to point out that, hey, it's cool to like an oj da juiceman song or stan for the group home

you're kind of right that technical whatever has been used unfairly to shit on people in years past, although i'd be hard pressed to find anyone who said those things about UGK or even eazy-e these days. (definitely DMX but not for rapping reasons.) also never thought pimp c was anything less then incredibly talented & a vivid storyteller with off the charts charisma/personality from the first time i ever heard UGK, fwiw. i find it hard to believe that anyone WOULD consider him otherwise.

idk man, i've read your stuff deej and that of others who have praised keef, and i've listened to finally rich (which didn't seem particularly "compromised" to me, so we can eliminate that from the equation) as well as bang 2 and assorted cuts from the tapes that came out this year. what is he trying to express other than anger and detachment and occasionally hints of pathos? its more or less fine by me if that's all there is, and you can say that expressions of anger constitute many variations on a theme, but there seems to be just one theme.

hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:25 (ten years ago)

and also considering he got kicked off instagram for showing an underage girl sucking his cock (they were BOTH underage at the time, but still), i think it's p. safe to call him a sociopath. plenty of artists have been sociopaths, including ones i have greatly enjoyed in multiple mediums.

'bang 2' is probably his worst release fwiw. 'almightyso' is maybe his best....i think he's trying to convey a lot more than anger and detachment, there's so much more to it, i listen to 'baby what's wrong with you' or 'kaykay' for wild variations from that, but i think it's more about the tonal colors he finds w/in "anger," like does anger really sum up the gleeful menace of 'wayne'? is that really all you get from it is "wow, sosa sure is mad!"?

i'm not saying your wrong but if we're giving keef credit for being an artist and crafting his persona, image, and music then i don't think it's ridiculous to say that he did seem to go out of his way to cultivate an image of blankness, anger, and detachment, so you can hardly get mad at people who admittedly didn't go all the way down the rabbit hole for getting that impression

the three colors of paint thing is to matt regarding keef's 'anger.'

deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:14 (ten years ago)

the thing with herb imo is that he's a good rapper but it's not like he's actually incredible as a lyricist or anything, so real hard stumping for him in lieu of the rest of chicago rappers raises some flags for me

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:18 (ten years ago)

I prefer Keef to Herb but he's still mostly gray to me.

longneck, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:20 (ten years ago)

well, i didnt like him for technical shit at all, as i thought i made clear upthread, although some of the songs on the fazoland tape do have some lyrical olympic shit. so idk what you mean by raises flags, jord

hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:20 (ten years ago)

i'm confused about what you meant about herb & comparing him to vince staples. Are you talking more about, like, the moral dimension, or the technical abilities, or?

deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:22 (ten years ago)

traditional narrative writing style?

deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:22 (ten years ago)

moral dimension & narrative. vince is prob better technically, for whatever that's worth (to me, not that much)

an undeniable appeal of herb & bibby is that they're an entryway into chicago for people who like "real rap"

(not that you're wrong in the specific statement about herb tho)

hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:26 (ten years ago)

? I feel like there's a lot more going on emotionally than just blankness, anger, and detachment!

i'm not saying your wrong but if we're giving keef credit for being an artist and crafting his persona, image, and music then i don't think it's ridiculous to say that he did seem to go out of his way to cultivate an image of blankness, anger, and detachment, so you can hardly get mad at people who admittedly didn't go all the way down the rabbit hole for getting that impression

ok well in that case this is a totally false analogy because all colors are made from mixing the primary colors but there are dozens if not hundreds more emotional palettes/tones that can be expressed in music outside of anger/blankness/detachment!

this is not a false analogy! in art u can convey blends of emotions i.e. 'gleeful menace' or melancholy anger or vituperative sarcasm or

deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:50 (ten years ago)

no shit!

but your analogy with primary colors is false because literally all colors are made up of those three colors, c'mon deej

Omg this is ridiculous the point was with a couple simple colors u can create lots of interesting degrees and variations

Keef is in a phase where every record is basically must-hear for this reason

Also you make orange with yellow and red but not blue so ...

I never said this was the ONLY way to judge a rapper, I'm just saying rap music should be a place where such arguments are acceptable considering that the genre was literally built on battles of skill. I love Keef and I love Eminem, but for different reasons.

yeah i think it might have gotten a hip hop quotable in the source back when i still read the source, i didn't see the wire til a few years after it was over

but yeah i remember the first year of the wire the music seemed kinda "off" to me, like these dudes listening to j-live and KRS-One and stuff, didn't seem like that's what drug dealers in baltimore would have been listening to. they seemed to change that as the show went on.

you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 16:16 (ten years ago)

yea starting in season 3 the songs are more in line with what was on the rap charts at the time, plus they added some cool local rappers - i remember enjoying the local baltimore stuff on the soundtrack quite a bit

The same devils that you used to love to hate
They got you so gassed and shook now, you scared to debate
The same ones that traded books for guns
Smuggled drugs for funds
And had fun lettin' off forty-one
But now it's all about NYPD caps
And Pentagon bumper stickers
But yo, you still a nigga
It ain't right them cops and them firemen died
The shit is real tragic, but it damn sure ain't magic
It won't make the brutality disappear
It won't pull equality from behind your ear

The new Jacka tape out tues is his best since Tear Gas

*************

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20045-what-happened-to-the-world/

But this year's What Happened to the World is his best record since 2009's Tear Gas, and suggests that whatever his potential for national stardom, the Jacka should be recognized as one of the last decade's strongest writers—both within and outside of hip-hop.

it's also a hilarious sentence because it assumes that ILX readers, your 4,632 Twitter followers, and Pitchfork's 1 million+ readers have heard all heard Jacka's Tear Gas album and have been waiting for him to return to that.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 20:21 (ten years ago)

or it's a way of slipping in an entry point for people who don't know who tf jacka is to tell them what record to start with

Million five on the VISA card,
Hunnid bands still look like some fuckin' tires,
Nigga servin great white like i'm feedin' sharks.
I won't do nothin' with the bitch she can't e'en get me hard.
Something wrong with the pussy!
Even though I ain't gon' hit it Imma still make sure that she douche it.
Me and my riley don't get caught up like that, no way!
We ain't got time to go see doctors - J!
Who said morning?
Hop up out my bed pull upon the bitch as she yawning,
This a show bitch, you performing!
I do this shit for my daughters and all my sons, bitch,
I'm gonna run them bands up take care they funds, bitch,
I got a moms, bitch, she got a moms, bitch
I got sisters and brothers to feed,
I ain't goin out like no idiot, I'm a OG.

not as bad as this but i'm pretty fucking over "funny" rap writing

some dude, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 16:04 (ten years ago)

well, the latter thing is alex fucking pappademas, who can be relatively erudite when talking about film or obscure comics shit but a clueless dipshit in most other areas, especially music, so no wonder.

A Roscoe Dash comeback is all I can ask for in this world. This track is fire. I assume the radio edit will be called "Hittin"

Young Dolph & Shy Glizzy - Make the World Go Round
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOEm2Qo4jsI

Haven't been too into the output of either of these dudes, they're both obv talented but tend to churn out middling (or at least overrated by trap fans) stuff in between occasional moments of touching humanness or genuine bangers. This one is esp catchy, kind of hypnotic, nice to see Drumma Boy back at it

Lil Flash feat. Tarentino - Finesse You Or Not
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iL-enVhOto

for a braindead fake chief keef caucasian this has a pretty effective hook & slurred vibe that i think works p well, not exactly something id f/w on a deep level but catchy lil potential radio record

deej loaf (D-40), Wednesday, 31 December 2014 08:17 (ten years ago)

Speaking of random white dudes i do not endorse this (its a catchy lil jingle at any rate) but on #trendwatch here's Zach Farlow's minor bubbling record "Toast". Not linking to the official video bc that will prejudice you against it:
