I remember trying to write a P4k parody review of "Laffy Taffy," though I did actually like it a lot. I'll have to give this a listen when I get home.

I felt really weird at the Ghostface show I went to when he and his hypemen ragged on "Laffy Taffy."

When will people (people, aka Spike Lee, Little Brother, these bufoons) realize that ironically co-opting the imagery of minstrelsy to make a point is not funny or clever or satirical or anything they think it is, and is nothing but insulting to the intelligence of the people who consume it.

Questions end with question marks.

― The Reverend Rodney J. Greene (R. J. Greene), Monday, 8 January 2007 05:06 (eighteen years ago)

On a trip to Brooklyn, NY - one-time home of Jay-Z, now home to a lot of hipster art students - a friend and I were taken on a tour of a part of town that seemed to have been suddenly deserted in around 1999, leaving empty buildings and grass growing through the cracks in the road. Though I naively assumed this was probably down to the rise of mp3 blogs, our guide put us right: "Snap music did this," he said (really, he did), claiming that, in killing the last traces of hip hop, the nightmare genre had also done for his community.

― am0n (am0n), Monday, 8 January 2007 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

People who hate on "Laffy Taffy" act like it's the only hip-hop song that came out in the last 14 months. And act like any snap artist broke in the last 14 months BESIDES D4L.

We apparently live in some snaptacular dystopia where kids with unspilled drinks walk around going "Oh, did Nas and Jay-Z put out new albums? I've been too busy listening to this here Trap Squad."

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 8 January 2007 08:12 (eighteen years ago)

well, Dem Franchize Boyz were at least as big or bigger than D4L, although I guess technically they broke more than 14 months ago. still, even without any platinum albums by artists that are categorically 'snap music,' you have to admit as a production aesthetic it's been pretty ubiquitous on the radio over the past year or two. anyway let's whip up some real arguments on here so that this thread isn't continually dwarfed by the "teenpop" thread like it was last year.

awesome

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

saying that they singlehandedly killed rap is giving them a bit too much credit obviously. and isn't this just a redux of the age-old "we must elevate the genre" complaint?

― am0n (am0n), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

never mind New York's own inferiority complex

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

Did you guys hear that Dem Franchize Boyz' new song "We Fuckin Up Hip Hop"?

(seriously - http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=6740)

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

"You have to admit as a production aesthetic it's been pretty ubiquitous on the radio over the past year or two."

Dem Franchise Boyz, D4L, a few Mr. Collipark productions (mainly in 04 and 05) and a stopgap Lil Jon single do not make ubiquitious. And if a hooting owl was the new hyphy, Lil Jon would have a track made with nothing but owls!

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

oh come on, chris, the sorta pared down snap thing was all over the radio this past year

yeah, when I said radio, I meant including R&B, of which there's been a ton of vaguley snap music-derived hits (xpost)

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

also Chingy tried to jumpstart the hooting owl trend in 2004 with "Balla Baby," to no avail

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:58 (eighteen years ago)

I'm weirded out by all the anti-snap hate because the argument seems to be that D4L and DFB are the new minstrels, which would imply that white people are listening to D4L or DFB en masse--but most white people I know hate the snap acts. But maybe I just hang out with lame white people.

― H.G. Monopoller (HGULTRUILLUM), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 03:03 (eighteen years ago)

Nathan Rabin's "Ten Overlooked Hip-Hop Classics" list is kind of silly in parts - InI are really boring, and in no way was Edan overlooked - and Rabin can be a total cornball (see his review of Tru's greatest hits or, uh, several of the blurbs in this article) but you have to respect his unwillingness to hop on the trendy album bandwagon - although i'm sure his ballot this year will include ghostface (he didnt vote in jackin pop that I could see) his ballot from last year seems to stay consistent w/ underground hip-hop regardless of crack rap fetishes or whatever, which is refreshing. Then there's this list, and you can't blame him for hitting the ghostface/clipse/deltron contingent with Alkoholics, J-Zone, Devin, Charizma or Count Bass D (probably the only one here who's, like, super-overlooked and has almost no fanbase to speak of).

that said i've never heard 'hip-hop for respect' or that lifesavas album but can't think of any reason why i really would want to.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

count bass d has a huge nerd rap fanbase

his first album is pretty good

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:46 (eighteen years ago)

you cant really claim shit is overlooked when your only exposure to it is a heavily marketed re-release in 2003

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i honestly don't know why anyone would want to read that list or consider most of it really 'overlooked' when stuff like Noz posting endless cassingle b-sides is already on the internet. (xpost)

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

Tracks like "I'm Fuckin Up The Money" convey a social consciousness J-Zone pretty much abandoned on subsequent releases.

incidentally that is also the most obnoxiously lame song zone was ever involved with

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

wow so like every record but 2 of these is from the 00s?? seriously, im not posting killarmy mp3s on the jackin pop thread so this fool can act like edan or anything dropped on quannum is overlooked

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

Al well fuck there's no one but Noz posting cassingle b-sides, of course everything is overlooked compared to that.

And yes I know that for people who actually follow rap none of these dudes are overlooked but i'm assuming we're talking about the onion's regular readers here, who might have heard Devin and Edan but beyond that they're still rocking Deltron and Prince Paul's last album of skits.

Oh here's rabin's list:

Nathan Rabin
1. Ghostface Killah, Fishscale (Def Jam)

2. Rhymefest, Blue Collar (J)

3. Lupe Fiasco, Food & Liquor (Atlantic)

4. The Coup, Pick A Bigger Weapon (Epitaph)

5. Pigeon John, And The Summertime Pool Party (Quannum)

6. Georgia Ann Muldrow, Olesi: Fragments Of Earth (Stones Throw) Stones Throw chanteuse Georgia Ann Muldrow released a lushly organic debut of hypnotic soul, wiggy jazz, and blunted soundscapes that was inexplicably ignored by critics and fans alike.

7. The Roots, Game Theory (Def Jam)

8. John Legend, Once Again (Good)

9. Lupe Fiasco, Touch The Sky Mixtape (Mixunit)

The year's best mix-tape.

10. Snoop Dogg, Blue Carpet Treatment (Geffen)

Call it a comeback: Blue Carpet is Snoop's best album since 1999's underrated No Limit Top Dog.

11. RJD2 and Aceyalone, Magnificent City (Decon)

12. Bubba Sparxxx, The Charm (Purple Ribbon)

13. Mr. Lif, Mo Mega (Definitive Jux)

14. Busta Rhymes, The Big Bang (Aftermath)

15. J-Dilla, Donuts/The Shining (Stones Throw/BBE)

Beloved producer Jay Dee went out on a high note with the revelatory beat odyssey Donuts and the stellar, star-studded production showcase The Shining, in addition to landing beats on huge releases from Ghostface Killah and Busta Rhymes.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:51 (eighteen years ago)

as for count bass d's huge rap fanbase...really??

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

in his defense that charizma album did kinda drop at the wrong time, i remember hiphop connections entire review was devoted to clowning it in favor of their new obsession with shitty 04-era lil flip

xpost damn that list is weird - bubba sparxxx?? really??? must be residual whiteboy cred from deliverance cuz i dont see rabin on the mr collipark BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN ERRRRYWHERE steez

hes a good rapper who relies a little too heavily on "hard" stories abt life in the ny metro area and sub-premo beats. still a bunch of sports references on this.

he's also really good in such an ordinary way its hard to care unless he's already there for me to listen to.

but on the other hand i think a lot of people feel that way about plenty of chicago rap so ...

Yeah, "Pump It Up" and "Fire" are great (what happened to JB's little hip-house thing he was doing for a moment? And why isn't he capitalizing on it now?), I just kind of forgot he existed.

yeah man, I loved that shit, Just repping his Jersey roots on shit like the Rah Digga song and that weird soundtrack joint with Nick Cannon and Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe.

still love this, and the video. might be my favorite of this year :/ so it's an az track? why the fuck is it on ghost sessions saying "feat. az" or was that just a mixtape (unmixed) for styles? anyway i hope the rest of the new az is as good.

― am0n, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, wow. I'm rather amazed at the low Ghostface and Wu-Tang sales. Big Doe Rehab only had a third of Fishscale's first week sales, and this one came out in the Christmas rush. I thought the Wu album would sell at least 150k. Not that either album is that great.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago)

Super Gangster, Extraordinary Gentleman: already like this better than any 07 album.

It has some weak spots for me, but yeah, it's good. An album cobbled together from the best of Time Is Money, The Ghost Sessions and Super Gangster would be a classic.
