stay fly

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Monday, 8 December 2008 20:20 (seventeen years ago)

going with "Stay Fly," imo has aged better and hasn't inspired as many lame derivative beats

"What You Know" is totally poetic.

jaymc, Monday, 8 December 2008 20:25 (seventeen years ago)

i know all abt that

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Monday, 8 December 2008 20:26 (seventeen years ago)

fwiw i think they're both in the same key and have the same tempo

billstevejim, Monday, 8 December 2008 20:26 (seventeen years ago)

Both bangers, but T.I. ftw surely.

ianmaxwell, Monday, 8 December 2008 20:27 (seventeen years ago)

2 years of bad "what you know" knockoffs have helped to dull its impact, at least for me, is all i'm saying.

Freedom Passantino (some dude), Monday, 8 December 2008 20:32 (seventeen years ago)

WYK is mixed really badly

"what you know" knockoffs

Name one.

jaymc, Monday, 8 December 2008 20:39 (seventeen years ago)

"I Luv It," "Whatever You Like," and "Can't Tell Me Nothing" are the big 3 that come to mind, but I'm sure there are a lot of album cuts I've forgotten already.

Freedom Passantino (some dude), Monday, 8 December 2008 20:55 (seventeen years ago)

the danja rip at the end of t.i. vs. t.i.p. is pretty awesome

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Monday, 8 December 2008 20:56 (seventeen years ago)

yeah all 3 of Danja's tracks were the keepers from that album

Freedom Passantino (some dude), Monday, 8 December 2008 20:58 (seventeen years ago)

Stay High

ablaeser, Monday, 8 December 2008 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

"Stay Fly" is plenty dope but "What You Know" is the best single of this decade so far.

it feels wrong to vote anything over "stay fly" but "what you know" takes it

what is this bullshit stance you all are taking like "what you know" voters are voting for "ice ice baby" or something

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:08 (seventeen years ago)

roll through the ghetto pumpin ice ice baby / think i give a fuck? its better than the shit i heard lately

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:09 (seventeen years ago)

naw fuck it you know what i vote stay fly

^^peer pressure

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:11 (seventeen years ago)

look man i been down 4 tip since trap muzik and was atl-livin when what u know dropped so i got a better sense of the impact than probly anybody else on this thread but 1) shipleys right theres been too many shitty synthy EPIC trax since then that dulled the impact and 2) its cool for you if youre more into 00s rap ish but despite first-class rappin by t.i. what u know feels like it fits more into some kinda 06 timbo/will.i.am hip-house world whereas stay fly is a str8 up ruffneck jam like a 05 memphis version of d&d allstars or whatever and for me thats preferable

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:13 (seventeen years ago)

xp sarge here's the inner monologue

hoos: "fresh out the jet to the jects where the gs at" is a hot line
steendriver: yeah a hot line about getting off his private jet to go hang out with his less fortunate bros wtf dogg why doesn't he like DO something about the conditions in the hood instead of just kickin it with old homies
hoos: wtf is he gonna do, sell his jet and start throwing the money off of rooftops stfu
steendriver: i mean that kind of self-aggrandizement put next to stark class diff is gross is all i'm sayin like maybe there's some classism going on
hoos: motherfucker this is rap music and u butthurt about self-aggrandizement fuk u i vote stay fly

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:17 (seventeen years ago)

nah i feel you -- i mean this is a good poll because you can love both songs but still take a definitive stand based on style/vibe whatever. for me like, idk the first time i heard "stay fly" the greatness hit be but i didn't immediately think it was the best three 6 song ever (for right now idk even know if it's definitely better than "poppin my collar" even) but the first time i heard "what you know" it was like real next-next level for me. it's hard to make a decision listening now cuz i think both of these are played out to an extent so i'm just going on when both songs were still fresh to me

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:17 (seventeen years ago)

"i think both of these are played out to an extent" meaning "i love them both but i've heard them so many times"

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:18 (seventeen years ago)

also "what u know" feels like i'm supposed to sit back and appreciate it "daaaaaaaamn this is epic massive shit" whereas "stay fly" sounds like i'm supposed to ENJOY it

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:18 (seventeen years ago)

i dunno i cant imagine playing what u know ever again but i just bumped stay fly on a 3-6 mix the other morning and hit rewind on that shit, never gets old

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:18 (seventeen years ago)

no matter what >>> what u know

chall-t.i.ps

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:19 (seventeen years ago)

thats basically how i play it out to an extent

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:19 (seventeen years ago)

"fresh out the jet to the jects where the gs at" is a hot line

C'mon, this is all that needs to be said.

jaymc, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:19 (seventeen years ago)

live your life >>> no matter what fwiw

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:21 (seventeen years ago)

hoos you are making no sense on this thread

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:24 (seventeen years ago)

hoos: motherfucker this is rap music and u butthurt about self-aggrandizement fuk u i vote stay fly

^^what is this

you brought me home to this funky house (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:25 (seventeen years ago)

that is me laying the smack down on my conscience for worrying about egoism in rap by voting for a party track that doesn't give a fuck what i think of it

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:26 (seventeen years ago)

hoos slowly turns into luriqua before our eyes

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:26 (seventeen years ago)

my conscience is white btw

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:27 (seventeen years ago)

if it aint srs classism then there shld be srs self-aggrandizement this is how i judge music

Ron Polarik, PhD (and what), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:28 (seventeen years ago)

if you rap about egalitarianism and don't big up uself fuck you

HOOS wearing bitchmade sweaters and steendriving (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 07:30 (seventeen years ago)

cosign, with the added corollary that there has never been a time when I have wanted to listen to What U Know because it has always seemed incredibly dull, plodding, and monotonous.

im making a mental list of what u know voters and completely ignoring everything they say ever from now on

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 14:52 (seventeen years ago)

why not just write it down--you might forget

beyonc'e (max), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 14:52 (seventeen years ago)

well i can always refer back to the thread right

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

dunno man seems like a lot of trouble

beyonc'e (max), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

yah but what should i do like keep the list on a postit stuck to my monitor or...

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:01 (seventeen years ago)

seems like the most sensible thing? or add it to your iphone?

You could tattoo it on your hand, maybe.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:04 (seventeen years ago)

yah i mean if i kept it digitally id have to always be opening it then looking at ilx then looking at it to make sure i dont accidentally pay any attention to anyone on the list - i know its kinda anachronistic but i think im just going to memorize it

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:05 (seventeen years ago)

ill prob write it down as part of the memorization process tho

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:06 (seventeen years ago)

u wanna know some real postmodern snake eating its own tail shit - in order to truly not pay attention to anyone on the list u will have to constantly pay attention to them

beyonc'e (max), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:07 (seventeen years ago)

beyonc'e (max), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:08 (seventeen years ago)
