Rolling 2006 Hip Hop Thread

Someone get Xhuck off TVT's mailing list!

TVT is awesome, btw (as are the Pitbull - whose new album way more reggaeton than crunk - and Crunk Hits 2 comps [haven't heard Youngbloodz, in no rush]). More labels should have their enthusiasm for freelancers.

speaking of TVT (xpost) what happened to the lil jon album? i really liked the single earlier this year (in spite of the blatant snap bandwagoneering)

I heard its a J Prince cash-in record, Z-Ro's been in jail.

There's one over the "paid in full" beat again (like "mo city don") but with that Spandau Ballet sample Nelly used on that single of his over the top of that. It sucks shit.

On the subject of Lil' Jon he produced what's probably the best single of the year so far : "blow the whistle"

well, like I said, my message wasn't really "get with the times, man!" because it's not like the last 2 years have yielded a whole lot of obviously superior mainstream hip hop (especially in terms of party/club rap), I'm definitely more tired of (sn/tr)ap music now than I ever was of crunk. but if you can't see anything funny or worth criticizing about repping Crunk Hits 2 and three albums by Lil Jon collaborators as the 4 best (not even favorite...BEST) hip hop albums this year has to offer (with the caveat that he hasn't heard the fucking "Chicken Noodle Soup" album), then I'm not going to hold your hand and explain it, and if you can see it but want to play xhuxk's advocate or pretend I'm simply advocating this year's worst trends as the only option because they're newer, then I'm not going to bother either.

lil jon needs to quit crunk rock and work with some b-more club producers considering how much hes been sampled by them. if hes into gogo i reckon hed be into bmore club too. its a perfect match IMO!

ehhh. his shouts are just a popular soundbyte for Baltimore club music, like DMX or Mystikal were a few years ago, I don't necessarily think Lil Jon's hand-on participation with the genre would be any good, he'd probably just fail miserably at branding it "the new crunk" the same way he did with Hyphy.

With you on this, my favorite Lil Jon tracks are ones where he's not trying to be Lil Jon

yeah, it occurred to me that I would've been better off just quoting the post I originally responded to with a gif of the aforementioned "crunk ain't dead" chain. sometimes I forget that treating ILM like anything other than a quipping contest is a fool's game, so I'm glad you're around to remind me by holding up scorecards.

some horrorcore & other shit i mixed together 4 halloween

so...what's the difference again?

I don't see how telling Chuck he's got lame and/or dated taste for liking TVT pop-rap is not part of the "quipping contest." It is definitely a "fool's game," though.

First time I heard it I thought it was just an intro, and then I was like "oh, really?"

yes, tim! it's really good. way better than m.i.a.m.i. in every way.

my three hip hop albums of the year are T.I., Chingo Bling double mixtape, and Rhymefest, but David Rolas "Mi Mundo" might break in there, it's pretty good. I haven't heard a lot of stuff getting fought over on the thread.
