but to be fair the funniest part is when waka thinks that being editor in chief at spin means you have money to throw around

yeah, still not feeling this guy

thanks for the update, we were all wondering

Cmon al, if i had to make that post every time you said you didn't like something...
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 18 May 2012 12:49 (twelve years ago) link
show me a time when i volunteered a "yeah, still not feeling this guy" type post apropos of nothing, dude
like there's a difference between being willing to share a negative opinion when prompted or when there's some kind of point attached, but what you did is some Shakey Mo shit
― that's why god made kokomo (some dude), Friday, 18 May 2012 12:55 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, is there more to the post than not feeling it? Any more details?
― MikoMcha, Friday, 18 May 2012 13:08 (twelve years ago) link
how could you be so unfeeling
― crüt, Friday, 18 May 2012 13:10 (twelve years ago) link
:| non-feeling it.
― MikoMcha, Friday, 18 May 2012 13:18 (twelve years ago) link
oy, well if you must know: what it's apropos of is that i took a half hour last night and reengaged waka (starting with the new music most recently posted in this thread) to see if there was something I had been missing before that I could reassess now. I didn't find it. I know a lot of people whose taste I appreciate really love this guy but I've always found him boring and one-note. The beats are of a school that only rarely connects with me. The energy feels weirdly canned and dazed, like screaming yourself hoarse more on a dare than because you're really feeling it. It's not as if high energy, ign'ant hip hop is foreign or unwelcome to me and it's not as if I'm a snob about crossover rap and dirty south is ABSOLUTELY my bailiwick but this guy's schtick feels unmeasured, ragged and don't move me. I'm reminded more of Khaled than lil jon.

you don't have to like him, it's ok. but is there any radio rapper who's debuted since, say, 2007 that you would say you have "felt"?

can you give me a better definition of radio rappers or list a few? It's not as if I'm anti vox populi.
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 18 May 2012 14:42 (twelve years ago) link
cuz the first names that come to mind are like cudi and wale when you say "radio rapper" not so much oj da juiceman
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 18 May 2012 14:44 (twelve years ago) link
guys who have been on at least one major radio hit, so sure cudi and wale count
― some dude, Friday, 18 May 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
current billboard top 100 hiphop artists that i am feeling that are fairly new: future, ab soul, j cole (kinda), odd future, kendrick lamar
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Friday, 18 May 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
cudi and wale suck btw
future and j cole are total radio rappers but i've never heard ab soul or any non-frank ocean member of odd future on the radio, and just started hearing kendrick on the radio for the first time like a week ago
― some dude, Friday, 18 May 2012 15:00 (twelve years ago) link
but yeah i mean if you dig future and not waka that's a fair baseline to go on that you're objecting to waka individually and not the whole context he's operating in

Those are fair points, I guess. I'm not especially an expert on hip-hop - people's knowledge online continually reminds me of that. I would say that, putting aside being drunk at a party, Waka's persona is actually pretty compelling for me, equally if not more so than his music (if you can separate the two). I can sit through Flockaveli no problems and enjoy if I'm in the mood, but can't really say that for any of the mixtapes. It does relentlessly one-note, Lex Luther-y minimalism, blank-eyed nihilism after a while. Any change in texture is like an oasis in the desert.
― MikoMcha, Friday, 18 May 2012 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
There are several words missing in that last post. It's late in the afternoon and I'm halfway through a 500ml can of 'power booster energy drink', apologies ;)
― MikoMcha, Friday, 18 May 2012 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
i was not a huge fan of Waka's first few singles or Lex Luger beats in general and thought the enthusiasm around "Hard In Da Paint" felt a little forced, but Flockaveli is a dope album, have to respect anytime an artist can the best case scenario debut album out of being themselves
― some dude, Friday, 18 May 2012 15:27 (twelve years ago) link
Re: Luther beats - also why I put up that Foreign Shit track, it's good to hear him on another style. Didn't know the source of it, so cheers sisilafami.

looking forward to this album... tracklist is pretty promising

also IT HAS A PLIES FEATURE
also a dj speedy beat
a song called "rooster in my rari"
!
― J0rdan S., Friday, 18 May 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
it's been a really good year for rap so far and if this album comes thru and the travis porter album comes thru... could be the best year for rap full lengths in like 5 years
― J0rdan S., Friday, 18 May 2012 16:12 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's kind of nice the way ATL is running shit again, if even one of the Waka/Travis Porter/T.I./2 Chainz albums is as dope as the Future album it'll be a pretty crazy year for the city

― lag∞n, Friday, 18 May 2012 17:13 (twelve years ago) link
i love the Future album & am hopeful about the Travis Porter, but I don't really like the single off the Waka at all, 2 Chainz is a funny lyricist with a pretty blank story & mediocre hit/miss ratio, i havent heard a good t.i. track in years. no one is really engaging me as a personality out of Atlanta right now at all.
― man down (D-40), Friday, 18 May 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i'm not saying we're in for 5 definite masterpieces, just that odds are at least 2 or 3 will be above average major label rap albums
