ohhhh lord 2pac big please talk to this sucker cause they killing hip hop they taking the pain and struggle of life of hip hop the only thing we coulda express our minds and pain. and these suckers took it and made it look like garbage thats why we get judge so much cause these shit dont be making sence

This reads like a luriqua thread.

I was kinda disappointed when it wasn't!

at first I was like "LOLOLOLZ" but this actually pretty hot

yeah this song kind of kicks ass

yeah i'm totally down with this song even though i like it mostly because of the sample

lololol @ Дyo

I've always hated the original mostly because of that annoying synth riff and it really isn't that much better with someone rapping on it.

thats the thing tho j0rdan, the sample should make it suck

this is good bcuz of sample-concept-rapper synergy

or because its just fun as fuck

the video is something great tho

After every 8 bars I keep expecting the heavy drumbeat to come, but, alas, it never does. This song just makes me want to hear "Better Off Alone."

fake

see i'd find this totally listenable just because of the sample, but credit to khalifa for holding his own on the verses though

a friend of mine from pittsburgh was trynna get me to pay attention to this dude like a year and a half ago and i was all 'lol pittsburgh rap'

i mean the rapping is nothing special but he rides the beat well-- esp that part in the first verse where they stutter the drums real quick as he goes "drop it down the poll and grind slow" or w/e

yah this is pretty high on my "good 08 shit" playlist, though it admittedly doesn't have much competition right now

have y'all heard this :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEYg2mNCatk

i think this is a new trend or something lol

what's the sample on that?

yeah i think 'pretty rave girl' is also fire

um that video alone deserves its own thread tbh

xpost I-Am-X-Ray - Pretty Rave Girl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD6Gq6O9ogk <-- most hardbody rave-rap track

(before someone points it out, yeah I know it's old)

UH

more stuff like this plz

i meant alice deejay in thread title obv

I'm just DYING for one of these guys to go balls-out and release a full-on, four-to-the-floor trance/rap crossover.

this song is great!

xpost

With an actual house beat, I mean.

Also, yeah, totally feeling the Wiz tune.

horrendous

slight improvement over the original but unfortunately does not take it above the mediocrity line. if it were me I would have repitched the adj riff down

i don't like all the space in the first verse really, but the video kept me watching and by the third verse i was noddin my head

pretty rave girl = ded srs btw

damn dis intrumental an da rap is gangsta

sign him up

im glad this showed up in time for FRIDAY

It's a movement:

Hood Headlinaz ft Jackie Chain and Jhi-Ali - Rollin'

^^My favourite track of the year thus far

lol one of my friends went to high school with this dude

Wiz Khalifa - Say Yeah

has anyone sampled Sonique yet???

"a friend of mine from pittsburgh was trynna get me to pay attention to this dude like a year and a half ago and i was all 'lol pittsburgh rap'

-- deej"

he is probably one of the best pittsburgh emcee's ive heard, though he is only as good as the beats he is on. at my record shop (in pittsburgh, obviously) we sold many copies of both his mixtape and his demo, which is wild since we almost never move copies of local shit because it mostly sucks.

this song in particular is very poopy, ive heard him do it live opening for Nas once and TI once, both times it made me want to throw up in my mouth. that said, the cat who does alot of his studio shit played me a track he did rapping on a 9th Wonder beat, that shit was very hot. and of course the joint he did on Nicolay's album is pretty nice. he needs to hook up with some of pgh's better beatsmiths, he could be ridiculous.

for some actually really dope pittsburgh hip-hop (though he is originally from strong island) check armstead brown:

http://www.myspace.com/peacepipeproductions

his "Fieldwork" album is actually very very good, one of the best real hiphop records i have heard in years.

which record shop pipecock?

can you recommend a good fake hiphop record?

pipecock nothing on that myspace is anywhere near as good as 'say yeah'

Isn't this just a rip-off Bone Thugs 'n Harmony over some trancey sounds? Next.

dom yr link is fukt

yeah 412, pixburgh music, what

"which record shop pipecock?

-- 31g"

http://720records.com/

we used to be in east liberty up until 2 weeks ago, our grand re-opening in the Jerry's Records compound will be March 8th. talk about lucking into the best spot in the city to sell records!

"pipecock nothing on that myspace is anywhere near as good as 'say yeah'

-- deej"

it all depends on what youre looking for. if you want good hiphop, armstead brown is your man. if you want some nonsense, then that wiz joint is right up your alley. that shit is barely even listenable, what a fucking joke of a song. it makes me mad because the guy could obviously do some much better shit.

"can you recommend a good fake hiphop record?

-- moonship journey to baja"

no, but i can reccomend you alot of bad ones.

this track is badazzzzzzzzzzzzz

pipecock, can you tell us what jazz record "Say Yeah" is most comparable to, phrased as "'Say Yeah' is the __________ of hiphop"?

thx in advnc

i can't actually think of a jazz record that is embarassing enough to make a direct comparison, but imagine Charlie Hunter covering "YMCA" and i think you could almost get there.

This song is great and the bit in the video where he's on the moon is lolz.

It takes talent to take a half-decent trance song and turn it into a decent rap beat. I'm inspired.

went out last night w/ a bunch of people and this on a CD in my car, didnt listen to a single other song

is this eurodance-hop?

crime mob - what is love

^^^
fave of last year

does "the way i are" count

prob more "eurodance" than "-hop" actually, but yeah

Princess from Crime Mob eurodance-hop

"Say Yeah" is the Charlie Hunter covering "YMCA" of hiphop. SAY IT, MOTHERFUCKER!

xp: welcome to upthread

(I guess no one posted the mp3 yet, so free pass and thanks.)

i'm glad we all agree that this song is the shit

more like reverend party pooper

someday im going to make a thread full of awesome shit that rev doesnt like

^good idea

haha feel free

This is the only hands in the air trance rap anthem which is good:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD6Gq6O9ogk

That sounds really confused.

that already got linked to

xp

aint the only thing sounding confused then

have you guys heard the one w/ princess from crime mob here is a link

where can i get this damn mp3??

http://www.google.com/search?q=wiz+khalifah+say+year&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en-us&start=10&sa=N

<3<3<3<3<3ing u

i fuck with all these songs

just heard say yeah last week - a+++

ive been playing this out for a minute now - local hit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVKCDKpSmgI

shawty redd & big gipp - drifter

thats the track snoop said inspired 'sensual seduction'

yeah i know i wrote an idolator thing about it but its not up yet

as the world's biggest dj sammy fan i wish i could like this song more than do, but i support this trendlet wholeheartedly. (i am actually writing about mr. khalifa as i type.)

(ethan are you ever going to return my emails?)

i support the <i>idea</i> of this trendlet i should say. the actual results so far have left me kinda cold.

someone needs to do "call on me" next

twista needs to get on 'sandstorm'

i cant stop listening to this shit, it puts a smile on my face every time

i don't like all the space in the first verse really, but the video kept me watching and by the third verse i was noddin my head

this post is so HOOS!

ha i listened to it for lolz what does rap nerds think is better than kanye now - and i mean its not better but it is better in its own way which is plenty good enough - thx!

and if anyone could shed some light on how and when crime mob became ravers thatd be delightful

Dear Simon Reynolds,

Please do not use this as an excuse to write more articles about the synergy of your days taking Ecstasy in the 80s and modern rap music.

Thanks,

The World.

When "Sexyback" and T.I.'s "Why You Wanna" came out, I remember saying to a friend, "funny, it sounds like rap and r'n'b producers are drawing influences from 90's trance and house now..." So now it's become a full-on phenomenon?

dude

Lil Jon's been making trance-hop for years.

I wouldn't say "trance-hop", per se, but rave-hop, definitely.

"Say Yeah" is growing on me, but I still reserve the right to be all grumpy and old-mannish about the sample.

I second the Twista-on-"Sandstorm" motion.

say yeah is dope dude just give in

yeah for real

"i reserve the right to be grumpy!!!"

LOOK AT ALL THESE DAMES, DAMN

I've been successfully rehabilitated.

this is great!!!!!!!!!!!

nah syke hate it obv

if wed hated it you'd love it

hah, depends how youdve hated it

on the reals though none of the eurorap's ever really done it for me, same goes for dancehall's on-off flirtations with it over the last year or two. honestly don't think i've got anything ideological against it all per se, whats the fun in being that selfaware anyway though right

spose i can at least extend the courtesy of chalking it up to the crosscultural fetish whatever thing i put forward on the 'way i are' thread ages ago, since everything post-'drifter' like ballgreezy, grindmode and that young dro i do love wildly and unreservedly and wish other ppl did too but oh well nm

should also say i got zero beef with the og alice deejay! but yknow BETTER OFF ALONE indeed nahmean

btw deej u heard wiley 'wearing my rolex'? it is the uk verison of this sorta stuff i guess, and i like it fine. there was a thread.

lol shabby, i aint even heard the remix

HOOOOOVERRRR

in the long run, being contrarian about this shit doesn't work, just to let you know

I cant help but think that think though that this has been influenced by Uk scummers, the last few years have seen countless 15 yr old UK ravers mcing over this tunes, ive heard them loads of times on mobile phones on grim bus journeys through gullys

you have an active imagination

i just thought it was the 'my love' stuttersynth, then the b.o.b song taking it and making more explicit

but even then that seems a little too strong for this partic wiz khalifa

unless he means the wiley, in which case yeah whatever probly

YOU SMELL THAT HAZE SCENT?
KNOW MY GAME PLAN

ALL DAY
SMOKIN ON THAT BOMB HAY

new usher/jeezy track "love in this club" has serious raver/trance synths. super anthem. would love an instrumental however :(

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4djgSWHbWOA

new track thats been #1 for like a month

ha. bay area is late to the game.

SHOULD I GET THIS AS A RINGTONE Y/N

every time i see this thread i just think of lord kinbote

http://youtube.com/watch?v=GYxrwnY0th4

Play-N-Skillz Feat. Lil Jon, Krazie Bone & Bun B - 1 Mo Gin

another daft punk sampling track :-/

I don't think I listened to this track until now!

11:56 Big Pimpin' Jay-Z Feat. UGK
11:54 Kiss Kiss Chris Brown Feat. T-Pain
11:50 Lollipop Lil Wayne Feat. Static Major
11:48 Love In This Club Usher Feat. Young Jeezy
11:45 Say Yeah Wiz Khalifa
11:42 Good Life Kanye West Feat. T-Pain
11:40 Country Grammar Nelly

i would like to point out that i have been otm in this thread

^this

never heard whatever this samples so to me this was just some so-so song I keep hearing on the radio, didn't know it was the thing deej kept talking about. zzz.

when ilx's grumpy dudes line up against something its a good sign for replay value

so when's he gonna do "we're going to ibiza"?

seriously tho, lovin this.

new single is hot

http://www.zshare.net/audio/157176503f1d56bc/

Rolling 2009 Trance Thread - y/n?

this is aight but not as hot as "Say Yeah"

say yeah is a classic though, i think it goes w/o saying that wiz will never touch "say yeah"

^^weird phrasing

new song, kinda fun

but what does pipecock think????

deej you know this is just a freestyle over the ryan leslie song "addicted" right?

the "addiction" remix w/ fabolous is better than this fwiw

nope. disconnected
o well3

i still wanna know what pipecock thinks

is he like 16? synths sound like tim and bridge is a rip of a neptunes song. i dig it though

oh funny, i had tv on mute at home last night and saw the ryan leslie video but didn't know who it was.

here is the original

let's try

its all right

such a rad song

yeah dude.

LOOK AT ALL THESE DAMES, DAMN

can someone do this to felix's 'don't you want me' now please

righto!

ok can we get some sort of ~round-up~ of all the hip-hop trax that jacked some random eurocheese hit going! or that fit vaguely into this hit-and-miss mini-trend.

wiz khalifa - say yeah
hood headlinaz - rollin'
t.i. ft. rihanna - live your life
three 6 mafia ft. pimp c & project pat - i got
gorilla zoe ft. sean kingston - on the corner
princess - pretty rave girl [or did this just sound like it did? i don't recognise the source material at all]

What does "Rollin'" sample?

robert miles - children

i LOVED that shit when i was 12

ha, i loved miles' 'one & one' as well

that last song reminds me of the beat to this

altho theres a remix that sounds even more like it -- just the drums & bass part i mean

crime mob - what is love

haters everywhere was last year but same deal

pretty rave girl og:

i would be so much more pleased with kanyes new joint if it had been a full album in this vein

this is good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaodQcnT1eM

this dude could save rap imo

needs more blues-based syncopation

album is finally coming out on warner, this is the lead single

kind of a joke dude

Playing this on my 25th birthday was XD

still listen to this any time i need to get psyched

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/music/2010/03/29/review-wiz-khalifa-yelawolf-930-club/

noz's description is really on point from my observations in chicago too. kinda love this tbh

surprised to see him gushing over wiz, makes me mildly intrigued

i still bump this any time i need to psych myself up for a night out

lol I hadn't scrolled down all the way but had c the following to p and agree with:

pretty sure it is something he would not have done prior to having seen him live

no i know, i'm just surprised that wiz's live show is as good as that

i dunno man hes always seemed like a pretty natural/charismatic performer, his voice is super-clear on his singles & his music is pretty hook-y

ha, i've never seen him perform or anything -- i just assume until further notice that all young rappers have terrible live shows

J0rdan, May 3! Blue Note!

i'm def gonna go -- there hasn't even been an average rapper here in like 3 years

"say i look hi / i say im hi bro" is a genius line

i enjoy this mixtape

I DO IT GRAN-DE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRlaAZFuyAc&feature=fvst

this single's kinda slept on around here
def a strong track imo (not touching "say yeah" of course)

honestly for a track prod by stargate & it turned out way better than i would've expected

still not GREAT or anything, but yeah

J0rdan, May 3! Blue Note!

"Say Yeah" is such a classic.

GRAN-DE

I went to go buy the new m0unt41n g0ats record today but that isn't out until next week, so my 1 buy of the month goes to rolling papers :D <3 this dude.

or: anyone else actually buy rap records anymore? this is the dope.

so weird to think that the "Say Yeah" dude is a huge star now

so weird to think that the dude who made any boring-ass charismaless monotone Wiz Khalifa song is a huge star now

Shocked that you are cynical about something

lol

i am cynical about your supposed shock

::raised eyebrow::

::shaves lines into eyebrow like it was '93::

Was led to believe that I was hearing Wiz Khalifa rapping over a Phoenix sample a few days ago but can find no such thing and google and youtube are no help here. Does such a thing exist??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dbEhBKGOtY

akon, huh?

lol i heard this on the radio a few weeks ago and thought it was just a shoddy radio dj mashup

the first time i heard it was when it was performed at the Billboard Awards, i kept hoping the cameras would cut to a confused-looking Wiz in the audience

man if you're gonna use that sample, you better ride that sample the whole way through the song because literally nothing u make urself could come close to that sample

lolz this thread

totally creeped out that it's five years old tho :(

LOOK AT ALL THESE DAMES DAMN
