i also think it's okay for the majority to rule on a thread title change
i think its ok to stop bitching about it & maybe i'd consider it if u had more of a reason than it apparently hurting you to read the word youtube
― Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 5 January 2012 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
i feel like 'youtube' is an important factor in the regional thug mythos personally; it's the only delivery system for regional thugs
ayo I heard this was the place where we could talk about azealia banks, pumped for this, can somebody direct me to some of her music? thx

"like if posters like tracer hand are arguing about her"
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 5 January 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
Azaelia's great, suck a dick if you disagree. she totally belongs in here. comparing her to LMFAO is hella tone deaf.
I will cop to needing a late pass for Action Bronson and deej, you're right that this is where we intersect. I found him only a few days ago when dallas penn was pushing him hard to me. Pretty dope. It's totally tony starks derivative but ghost is getting older and sounding a little different these days and young dude has a full head of steam. i gotta spend more time with this cat.
if you guys all hate the thread title so much, make a new thread and take the rap discussion there. this is a silly argument.

i love how i'm like the equivalent of the new york times writing an article about grunge
i feel like 'youtube' is an important factor in the regional thug mythos personally
while this may be true, it's kind of disappointing that a guy with very deep grounding in rap can't hear that the rhythm of "rolling regional thug thread" is A+ good and "rolling regional thug youtube thread" is clunky as fukk

action bronson sounding like ghostface is a big problem only if he uses ghostface like or generic boom bap beats, which is def no an issue w/ the track i just posted.
i don't agree that azealia banks is closer to rap than to lmfao -- they are both doing dance music w/ corny party rapping, one is trendy, the other is popular, but they're much closer than azelia and trina or we/

oh fine change it, but you're all a bunch of whiney babies
i'm pretty sure that when it's 99% vs 1% in any sort of debate, it's the dude in the 1% that's the whiny baby

y'all r really arguing about the "rhythm" of thread titles now?

genuinely surprised you think azealia's skills don't go further than party or novelty status
then again she's no tyga

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
you guys spent about 30 posts w/ 'incessant internal bitching' because the thread title had the word 'youtube' in it.

nice job making the thread a total pain to read through yet again, though

azaelia can fukken rap is the difference! She's got tight flow and her lyrics are quick footed.

"I was like, this is not what I worked so hard my entire life to do-- to be rejected by some English guy in West Bumblefrickin’ nowhere London, telling me I’m amateur or something like that. So I just said, 'Screw you!'"
― walking liquidity crisis (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
what, you think they're slow footed?
she's a good rapper, i don't see the need for her to be discussed in the goon thread. even tho i think comparing her to lmfao is pretty dumb, i more or less side w/ deej on this one.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
if she ever has a song as good as 'party rock anthem' i'll bring the comparison up again otherwise otm
― Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
dance rap like that has never really been the jurisdiction of this thread -- we post about na'tee in here, but not minaj and kid sister. banks is as good as any of them (imo) but she's much closer aesthetically to the latter two
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:09 (twelve years ago) link
ok well then dont discuss it. you can do that and not be a dick.
i really like action bronson. it does get p weird at times though when he is in super ghost deini mode.
― I am Newgod (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:09 (twelve years ago) link
yeah there is enough azaelia discussion elsewhere, but she's definitely a good rapper and fits in this thread imo if Kreayshawn does.
deej listen to "L8R" if you haven't.
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
this may lead to a distinction i'm not following: "goon" is different than "rap" how exactly? cause if this is a thread for trap artists exclusively then someone needs to open a separate thread for, what, CONSCIOUS/POP artists or something? And what's the point of that exactly?
Kreayshawn, to restate my earlier position, is fukken horrible.
― walking liquidity crisis (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
forks disliking kreayshawn = more evidence for the defense obv
kreayshawn rapped like a rapper over a rap beat; we don't dislike pop rap itt, that's always been a staple
― Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
we posted about minaj in the rap threads until she got famous enough to merit her own thread (not because of a stylistic change)
i don't really see why dance rap can't be discussed in here. pretty sure the kid sister/gucci mane collab was posted in last year's thread and no one got butthurt
― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
kraey was first picked up by rap fans (for lol n word discussions and rubbish connexions to other rap music) is the difference, no? whereas i needed to read p4k to see az banks.

consistently amused by your argument that if i don't like something it's proof that it's worthwhile but if we BOTH like something then it's aok
― walking liquidity crisis (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:14 (twelve years ago) link
it doesn't really matter to me where ppl talk about banks, i just kinda thought she had reached an audience that transcended us goons. i just think policing the goon thread is okay.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:14 (twelve years ago) link
wasn't aware of a.banks as a pitchfork artist, i got her on the jukebox with 212 and then roamed youtube and was impressed and the new single is fucking good.this attitude that it's the media that gravitates to the art that defines what it is rather than the art itself is spectacularly wrongheaded imo
― walking liquidity crisis (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
if she drops more songs like l8r its permissible to bring up i guess itt but there's no reason for the world's most popular "i don't like rap, but..." this side of childish gambino to be discussed here.
under no circumstance should someone rapping over blog house be considered for this thread. it's hipster dance music.
― Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
btw something that has bugged me ever since i started posting on ilx is you idiots saying "fukkin" or "fukken" like y'all are eazy or some shit

i think it's more that when you spell out "fucking" it seems really angry, 'fukkin' just makes it seem more guarded & barbed but less "u mad"

honestly, the last 100 posts or so more or less reflect this as fait accompli; halfway surprised you love keeping your sandbox filled with ONLY your rock gardens rather than letting other people in to plant cactus and spread catshit. hermetic approach to music is the fastest means to suffocation
