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.

one month passes...

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)

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 vein

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