― J0rdan S., Monday, December 10, 2012 4:47 AM (3 weeks ago)

the difference here being that people actually care about this one

http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/assets_c/2011/02/Quest_nod_gif-thumb-350x197-17420.gif

interested to see which thread wins ultimately bc i feel like the dividing lines are taking unexpected paths

even if that other thread is the one that takes off, taiwan is the one true china

i have no loyalty to either side, just smh @ the divide even existing

it's part & parcel to the holiday season for me

yo dawg we heard you like rap thread titles

new Tree tape is sounding good

http://www.fakeshoredrive.com/2012/12/mixtape-tree-tree-featuring-the-city.html/

great production

some of the rapping is ehh but some of it has this kinda old school chicago swagger that i like esp guys like tone skeeta & mick luter

yesss this is the right thread.

Its pretty funny that he needed rap voltron to manufacture a hit for him. But its a good song

lol @ kendrick outdoing ross in like 1/3 the time

well, I guess lol @ him outdoing everybody else in 2 months

he had a better first week, too!

2 Chainz outselling Cruel Summer (which had a better 1st week) in the long run kinda cool too

That Rick Ross album felt like not a big deal at all compared to Teflon Don.

its pretty funny that he needed rap voltron to manufacture a hit for him. But its a good song

this, but yeah i play that track consistently

wtf is "colt ford"

exactly what i was thinking

they forgot FUTURE - Pluto : 230,250

oh man oh man! Colt Ford is something you won't believe exists until you hear it. You guys are in for a treat.

wtf is "colt ford"

― J0rdan S., Friday, January 4, 2013 1:59 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

country rapper who did the og version of "Dirt Road Anthem"

wtf is lecrae tho

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecrae lol

Popular culture

Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lin recommended Lecrae and Hillsong in an interview when asked about his pre-game music.[60] Bubba Watson and Tim Tebow have also endorsed Lecrae.[61][62]

ha at big krit being on his album and getting outsold by him

so colt ford is basically the second coming of big and rich?

Wiz Khalifa - O.N.I.F.C. : 182,169

so high despite being released so late in the year

TI is at 250k in 2 weeks...

bums me out that Tyga outsells Future by a comfortable margin

not really surprising, Future didn't have a crossover hit like "Rack City"

Like I feel I didn't realize how much the economics of the industry would affect things, but it's so obvious that indie which is basically middle class kids slumming for a few years before they come to their senses, would rise in the meltdown, and hip hop, which was always viewed as a genuine way up & out, would decline

didn't even know about this, link?

he didn't literally say 'no girls allowed' he was using a berenstein bears image as the lead. i think it was lost when all the xxl rap blogs went down back in the day

so publications' EOY lists with a gender bias are absolved because they're meaningless purees of staff lists

and individual EOY lists with a gender bias are absolved because PERSONAL TASTE is sacrosanct for all dudes everywhere

when did anyone here say anything like the first sentence? You're just making that up. Publications should seek to hire a diverse range of employees so as to represent a diverse range of ideas and perspectives.

no, i wasn't saying anyone here said this. that post = what always gets said when anyone calls out gender bias, what always has been said every time i've even mentioned gender bias for over a decade. it's a familiar cliché at this point and it's tired

http://themartorialist.blogspot.be/2013/12/re-why-doesnt-male-rap-bloggaz-have_29.html

who is 'ilx snitch'

Haha wow

idk who any of these people are but serious smh @:

bizarre fetish for Female Rappers™

"HEY GIRLS, I'M NOT LIKE THESE OTHER ICKY-WICKY-STICKY-PRICKY GUYS!" blowhard routine in the vain hope some naive 21 year old writing major from Nebraska who's just moved to D.C will buy into his faux-Captain Save-A-Girl's-Feelings shtick and travel to Baltimore to have sympathy-sex with him

yeah b/c values that differ from the ones i have been socialized to believe are objective are 'bizarre' and b/c the white-knight thing is totes real y'all -______-

also at the commenter implying that trina being more important than public enemy is somehow ridiculous

yeah that blogpost makes for depressing reading

he knows rap and can write, so it's all the sadder that when gender is brought up as a topic he sticks to the internet hardman playbook with a side of PUAhate-forum-worthy posturing.

but then perhaps the fraught masculinity of most internet rapnerd personas leads to overcompensation on this subject? (i.e. the venom seems symptomatic- something's getting displaced, and you can't spew hate towards certain easy targets without revealing that you're all too familiar with them as a milieu- like why are female writing majors inherently risible, exactly?)

gonna argue that public enemy is better than trina and saying otherwise is a little ridiculous

fuck the canon and fuck rockism and all that but

Trina is important?

Also that blog post freaks me out I forget ilx isn't like a few ppl bullshitting sometimes

It is but so is the internet tbrr

Trina is important but to act as though she might be more important than PE is ludicrous. And although I'm not crazy about martorialist's style, the point that you need to bring up a few more names of overlooked female artists if you're gonna make the case that they were actually overlooked seems fair.

Al3x Macph3rs0n is the poor man's British version of J0rdan Sarg3nt

haha wut.

lmfaoooooo

really like the bebe o'hare tape btw, thx longneck

also was into the rapsody album - m@tt i think you'd like her - http://www.djbooth.net/index/albums/review/rapsody-she-got-game - really cool dusty 9th wonder beats, she makes her debt to lauryn quite obvious but chance's presence on it seems fitting as well

and btw "ilx snitch", if i've posted something in public it means i'm not embarrassed about it so you can cut and paste alllll you like bwoy

but then perhaps the fraught masculinity of most internet rapnerd personas leads to overcompensation on this subject?

indeed

Al3x Macph3rs0n is the poor man's British version of J0rdan Sarg3nt

damn they're tryna rip the goons apart in front of our very own eyes

really no idea what he even means by that

Haha 'ilx snitch'

lex is right but the comments in that martorialist blogpost are pure comedy gold

what new female rappers should we be hearing? I guess that's what's missing from Lex's side to me. It sounds "right" but without the counterfactual whats the point

nb i liked rapsody's tape this year, def an old head backpacker dilla stan type record but good

at every stage of this i've listed several female rappers? and have discovered more through this thread since i raised the issue?

nothing that's been posted sounds list-worthy to me.

yeah the thing is there's actually a pretty wide gulf between "will listen to the record, review it/post it online when it's new" and "play it throughout the year enough to put it on a list in december" and a lot of good records don't make that jump

nothing that's been posted sounds list-worthy to me.

well that's your problem innit

i guess what i'm saying is that i don't dispute the rap bro internet's genuine personal taste. i'm saying that that taste is insistently and stubbornly and inherently bro-ish and boring. i don't fucking think half of the dudes whose dicks the rap internet has sucked this year are list-worthy so i make no apologies for repping for female rappers i genuinely enjoy over mediocrities or dullards like young thug or pusha t or or earl or drake or whoever

ALSO it appears everyone slept on the original of this song nicki's just monstered

don't really get the bro-ization of rap internet in 2013 from noz, he seems to be increasingly off in his own world

"the rap bro internet'"

you're talking about a specific person though. (Well, two specific people.) Not "the rap bro internet."

singling out the people have been singled out, given the pervasive attitudes towards women in hip hop at virtually every level of the industry and media, is not unlike the "R. Kelly still has a career? blame Pitchfork" brigade.

if the 2014 thread isn't named "rolling cowfish 2014" then i just don't know

agreed and agreed
m@tt turned me on to this and i think it's "listworthy" whatever the fuck that means.

also if we're talking about female rappers, mala rodriguez desperately needs to be part of the conversation like NOW

This one was kinda slept on:

bahaha that marty post

http://i.minus.com/ibcegxU85QLjFn.gif

re: some of those comments, are they that clueless that they don't realise freelancers don't just get to write about what they want to? the number of artists, female rappers and otherwise, i wish i could've got into the guardian!

also, try linking my actual EOY list rather than a limited 10-of-each lil thing.

also, belieeeeeve i'm not begging RTs off people i've been friends with for the best part of a decade

you're talking about a specific person though. (Well, two specific people.) Not "the rap bro internet."

ok who in the rap internet is not a rampant misogynist then, i'm all ears

i find it reeeeally telling that they specifically hate on angel haze too

Isn't deej part of the rap internet?
