worst fruity swag releases of 2010

that not really acclaimed though is it? i guess we'll see in next year's grammys xp

do all goons agree that dubstep is fucking boring as shit regardless

jeez sorry deej, i looked at a youtube screencap w/ an album cover that said Brand Nubian on it. i don't know what Enter The Dubstep is and am only vaguely aware that dubstep has anything to do with rap. pardon my offensive ignorance!

this is the worst chorus of any rap song this year

oh yeah its up there for sure

yeah everyone is saying that it's mostly crap, but it is a "worst fruity swag release"

dubstep is like wild avant-garde music for 17 year old kids that watch animes and play WoW

every generation gets the autechre it deserves

aw man i thought we were just gonna clown on shitty rap

can we not talk about dubstep

every generation gets the autechre it deserves

i thought that was your beloved Linkin Park album?

haha deej c'mon, you list a bunch of well known albums specifically by title, and then reference a barely-rap compilation obliquely with a youtube and get mad when i don't understand exactly what you're talking about?

i am so sick of this some dude/deej beef

this is the worst

har

whiney otm but the reason enter the dubstep was mentioned in the OP is because ... its a dubstep remix of classic rap & it sounds like shit & is worth some lols. yeesh you dudes are mad critical

i actually bought run the road for $1 in a used bin and i think it's pretty cool...but it might be grime not dubstep, or those two things might be the same thing like jungle/drum n' bass

have not heard linkin park, gonna keep it that way

the op was made yesterday iirc & no one paid attention
so i bumped the thread w/ a new line of discussion
i thought i explained this already?

we can't have nice things

oh ok, never saw the op yesterday, thought it and the next couple posts happened at the same time

this will all be relevant when kanye drops his dubstep album in 2012

'middlebrow rap' needs a swag cru re-naming to explain this swath of shit that appeals to kids who think the blueprint is the illmatic of the 00s

Aztekk Calendah could be a good dubstep MC name

i don't think blueprint is the right album there

this irredeemable Das Racist/Chairlift collabo was on a critically acclaimed mixtape

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfn4pnY3WcA

i think you want 'college dropout'

i don't even know what the exact 'middlebrow rap' we're talking about here is. B.o.B. pop shit? diminishing returns Eminem? over enthusiastic Joell Ortiz fans?

somedude about to get butthurt that we dont like his hero, BOB

one of the greatest singles artists of all time... OF ALL TIME

i don't think any rap fans actually dig b.o.b anymore?

this feels like the conversation we (probably) had when the wale/b.o.b/charles hamilton/kid cudi etc xxl cover came out but it doesn't really feel like that's totally a "thing" anymore

altho j. cole is keeping that flame alive

haha i'm not defending B.o.B. at all, he's wack and i mostly like that one song as a shameless Bruno Mars pop song.

i mean, that's all a thing now because a lot of those those guys have had legit pop hits since

what does the mythical Nah Right reading rap fan even listen to anymore if skinny jeans r daed

argh as if it weren't possible to hate kanye even more it pains me to see "hashtag rap" gain currency and "grocery bag" languish in ilx obscurity, come on whiney

BOB & JCole both fit into this ... joell ortiz isnt popular enough ... eminem's record is considered a classic comeback by these dudes. 90% of rap board threads about pitchfork are ppl freaking out that waka outscored eminem

kanye has more cultural curren$y than me at the moment at least.

also there's no way i could have called them grocery bags without being all, THERES THIS MESSAGE BOARD I POST ON GUYS or loltastic circa 2003 conflation "influential critical hangout ilx" ish

there is literally no excuse to mention ILX in any piece of writing ever, full stop

obv this isnt a 'real genre' just a constellation of 'respected rap' that we mostly think is total crap but it hits this trifecta of being MOR-pop, 'lyrically lyrical' & weirdly popular

Drake fits in here, obv -- or ppl who think Drake is a legit good rapper

Drake is lyrically lollical

Nicki Minaj is MBR

we have to come up with a better name than "middlebrow rap" tho, come on goons

Airplane glue

well you shouted out shipley in that post already for what was, iirc, an ilx post. no need to mention ilx obv

(obv im not mad about this or anything im just saying)

i shouted out shipley because i didn;t want to pass off his observation as my own

softserve was always a favorite of mine

i didn't say ILX POSTER AL SHILPEY ON INFLUENTIAL MESSAGE BOARD ILX ROCKISM

who came up with soft serve?

if yr gonna sell out do it in a way that doesnt conflict w/ your message & ideas imo

that might be hard unless the dude selling wood jesus pieces is buying commercial air time

can we just marvel over how much worse the mountain dew beat is than the original production on that track
it really underlines the mumbo-jumbo ness of the lyrics

what's the og track?

i blame BOB

i get so confused every time i open this thread and try to understand the first few posts all over again. deej defines "swag nerds" as people that buy new eminem albums?

Omaha Mall [New (Fun) Song in 2010!!]

yah dude read yr typical MOR rap message board & its dudes who think the best albums of the year are by drake, kid cudi, eminem, jcole. this is what rap is to swag nerds on other mbs

what are "swag nerds" though? people that nerd out to non-swag-oriented rap?

like wouldn't the people on this board geeking out about lil b or soulja boy be swag nerds, not eminem fans?

duh, they're an arbitrary division of strawmen get with the program

by swag nerds i think he just means rap nerds -- i.e. the goon cru of other message boards

does kanye fit too?

yeah i guess i'm just being obstinate about how NAGL it is to just randomly swap in "fruity swag" for "rap" in any context

lol
