So this is prob my favourite rap record of all time. I know some of you must know some stuff that sounds like this....and if you haven't heard this I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I think it's the sort of late night feel of it that I like...

my favourite trae song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK9Ex9JKSQw
when i was fifteen before i knew knew abt screwed n chopped i only knew about trae, but i still had this, like, yearning for ultra deep voice pitch-shifted southern rap so i just listened to 'restless' over and over again.

just reviving this as never saw that quote about driving around before...this song is so amazing, just has that feeling of working a night shift or just not being able to sleep. easily one of my favourite records of all time.

This thread reminds me of:
The only place I've heard this kind-of hip hop is blasting from these cars that drive down streets really slowly at night in Brooklyn just blasting this weird kind-of hip-hop. It's dark and slow-mid-tempo and kinda spooky, and talking about death and darkness and other night kinda shit. What is this?

ethan p was always good at making connections between diff rap styles that would be real useful for this thread.
for more whistful dreaminess from h-town but like a decade earlier, you should check out ESG's "Sailin the South" which has that same slow chill melancholy (tho a bit less jazzy)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueR0va7PXs4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uXyM_y0DDU&feature=relatedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSYcL4jsPSc&feature=related
its a top ten of the 90s album for me, basically the only htown record up there (not counting port arthur obv)
his earlier album 'ocean of funk' has a few jams too in that veinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec6NILNApv4&feature=related

― samosa gibreel, Thursday, 24 June 2010 02:14 (fifteen years ago)
