lol i fuck w/ this title

new travis porter, killin it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYaMIOSsR5c

title is lolz

i say it every year but i am going to try and keep up w/ the thread this year. and yet still listen to every youtube posted. (and to prove this i am way ahead of where i was last year, i only have about 10 youtubes left from gunsounds/sandboxrapthread)

I will once again attempt the same. This is a constantly losing battle but it's a rewarding one, so whatever.

"regional thug" is perfect actually but "youtube" is unnecessary imo

i feel bad for not even making an attempt at listening to all the youtubes :/

i like that youtube implies that some of them may only be thugs on youtube

its also the primary delivery method to ppl's knowledge of 'regional thug' music, without it, we're stuck listening to (you know the rest)

DJ Khaled's Primary Delivery Method: The new rap-rock album for troubled teens like YOU

this travis porter off the mike will tape is also amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O7kOXfmVx0

also all the future stuff on there is pretty great

stanning for future is some sad desperate shit imo

who stans for future?

i'm not saying he's your max b but you did just bump two threads in the last 5 minutes to rep for songs he's on

the meek song is awesome -- is it actually a "single"

well idk, i bumped this thread really to mention the travis porter song

"your max b" -- doesn't he post abt max b as much as anyone?

the meek song is awesome -- is it actually a "single"

a street single

i think it makes a good album track / street single. it's hella ferocious but not really pop /too harsh to be a real single

"rack city" is seriously the worst rap hit in years

really? I don't like it that at all but it's reasonably innocuous imo

it's just so, so unpleasant

Rack City sounds like it came out six years ago, i like it

I put this wen i bonning
gelio21hernandez 13 minutes ago

i mean it does sound kind of like a shitty ripoff of "the whisper song," yeah

i dont rlly hear the whisper song, idk, its just the last rap song i'd considering 'grating', just kind of milquetoast

eh it just sounds like he's forcing his voice into that croak in a really unpleasant way to me.

since we pretty much have everyone-but-deej consensus, can forks or somebody take the wack 'youtube' out of the thread title.

i still disagree albeit i supposed "rolling regional youtube thug" would have been better

rolling regional thugtube

people still find rappin grandmas funny?

regional *glug*

there's really no reason any form of 'youtube' needs to be in there

well this thread is basically a youtube repository..........

at its worst, yes

i think at it's worst its pedantic sniping but ymmv

the title seems indicative of a paucity of movements to get behind but w/vs i don't really care what these things are called. i'd've probably just voted for reusing "gunshot sounds"

roach gigz going to sxsw apparently

"gunshot sounds"

i liked when it was rolling rap on the sandbox

what is the best king louie tape to get?

idk the best-of i suppose. http://www.box.com/shared/f2543tq15mycszdhgn7l

cheers deej. also you going crazy over a chart w/ lots of rapper names set up by some spin intern has been making me giggle while trying to catch up on my pre-sandbox gun sounds. never change.

That's the first one I copped on Deej's recommendation. Totally great! 'Too Cool' is amazing.

keef album is interesting in its minimalism; i don't exactly want to listen to it but its something of a master class. Quivering candy painted suspension wires. singles are still totally unpalatable but something clicked when I tried:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQCyhaOt9bc
so i'm not coming around exactly so much as i am getting what there is to get as opposed to, say, gucci and waka who still are opaque to me even after i've tried for years

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EaNAoBIw14&feature=youtu.be

this goes

surprised at open minded forks experience w/ keef. *respect dap*

zilla beats are pretty amazing yes

Nothing showing on that link for me Deej

he meant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EaNAoBIw14

insane hook on that btw

idk why that link didnt work but yah forks got it

That synth(?) sound was cool at first but then just kinda dominated after I got about half way through. I like though.

long as i'm in this thread, there's a new dj paul tape on the way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC-QDGLQSj0

his first tape this year was cool wasnt too into the 2nd one but i didnt give it much time

when ppl were talking about shump's rap music on twitter i go to his twitter page & see 130k followers & i'm like FAKE then i realized hes an actual basketball player who raps & felt like The Lex for not knowing that.

more my speed honestly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFzEW8Ki2Yk

"Snow Tha Product"

yeah they coulda gone with "Snow, No Not the Canadian Guy"

Lol I posted this tape in the ILH thread.

Zilla. Hardly a marketable rapper but I love the guy.

And two out of his three releases this year were pretty great even though no one really cares.

hoping that next year's thread is gonna have a better title so that I'll actually bookmark it because goddamn how did I miss out on gunplay this year

Lol @ u finding out from a pitchfork editorial

;o)

i've been going thru some rap EOY lists and discovering some amazing trax. in partic, so far:

troy ave - i know why you mad
mic terror - rodney king
fam-lay - clap clap <= X A MILLION
feva - handsome
dj paul - cocky
gunplay - take this <= HOW HAD I NOT HEARD THIS GUNPLAY SONG OMFG THE BEAT
ty$ - the weekend [this wasn't on the ty$ mixtape i have, it's...different in a good way, those weird horns really liven up the warmed-up rack city beat]
lil dev - i'm perkins
ca$h out - cashin' out

the worst is the rick ross/drake/french montana song, a less palatable combination of rappers on one song i cannot imagine

lol you will probably take some shit for mentioning ty $ as 'rap' (although his cadences/melodies always sounded so 'contemporary singsong rapper' to me that i was surprised to find out he was categorized as a singer myself)

Lex you would like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-QR466qk0s

i was surprised to see ty$ in a rap list myself! i'm just working through the noz/martorialist zips and it's in there

true noz does read this board

xp spottie YESSS!!!!!!!!! that fucking beat! omg this is exactly what i want

Yeah definitely one of my jams of the year.

it's so good! reminds me in a sideways fashion of "get buck" (an all-time fav) but with more slathery synths

maybe noz would read this board less if chief deef didn't mention him pretty much every single day

are you testing out this one to see if any possible response i get can be turned into a 'deej is always doing [x]' meme?

*give

because what the fuck?

rolling indie pr machine/cool kid blog circuit 2012 [brought to you by Heineken]

haha that's almost as good as molly ratchet

i would go with "[Fueled by Red Bull]" but why split hairs

heineken presents: rolling indie pr machine/cool kid blog circuit 2013

Red Bull Records is going alt-rock all the way, though, the platinum AWOLNATION single they put out is a classic imo

ha, is the UK some bizarro world where "Cashin' Out" wasn't a ubiquitous summer jam?

It didnt seem huge in Canada, but I'm not really a club/party goer so my sense of these things is limited (though it does suggest it wasn't ubiquitous)

i think it's called "loonies out" up there

not remotely ubiq here no, big enough to have been heard of though

Toonies, sir. If we're talking condo, on your neck money.

If you can ever use an ATM again without humming 'ca$hin out'' then I prob don't wanna be friends

i'm going to start doing that

have we decided on a thread yet

let the people decide
