Travi$ Scott - Days Before Rodeo - best rap release of 2014 so far?

london on the track should really be getting the praise ppl are giving to travis scott

i mean he's an actual producer not a 'curator' but still

he's great, he's been killing it on rich kidz mixtapes for years

agree w/ nova about T.I. but he's spitting real vintage raps on "all about the money"

i don't mind "no mediocre" either i'm actually kinda optimistic about his album

travis scott's music isn't commercial imo but i feel like there's prob a lot of push behind him in the industry and i don't think it would take a huge leap for him to start charting some singles if he aimed to sound a little bit more commercial, he has all the right co-signs at least

Thug and Migos are getting to the point where they could be the next Future type guys radio loves that get used to get other artists a hit, definitely feels like what's being deliberately courted on this tape

and rich homie

Young Thug really makes 'Low' imo

When I heard 'War Ready' first I thought it was Young Thug on the chorus but it turns out they just got a soundalike

i think what's bad is that he likes good kinds of music but doesnt get what is good about it

man I hope Thug doesn't get Future'd on the hooks, not that dude's hooks aren't good but he can really spit

"Low" is very confusing because Thug is on the hook talking about what he charges for a verse but he doesn't have a verse on the song

How the hate on this tape when its got Thug, and Migos on 3 really good tracks. Throw in drugs you should try it and quintana 2, the hate on this cannot be explained. I'm guessing a little too much feel for you guys?

how about because thug has three better songs on the radio every day? And migos have two.

it gives me no 'feel'

I haven't listened to this tape but I could barely make it through Owl Pharoah, which just sounded like cut-rate Yeezus as performed by a cypher.

I'm guessing a little too much feel for you guys?

Bruh have you even read any of the Future threads

I love how Raccoon Tanuki keeps getting his straw man arguments shot down one after the other than promptly moves on to the next one

OK, stop. So I can see where we're at. Those without love for this release, tell me your rap albums of the year so far. If you were going to say run the jewels please step off and reevaluate your listening habits.

Raccoon Taunki who is your most favorite Anticon rapper

The fact that it has been a meagre year for rap albums unfortunately does not help TS one bit, lol.

This thread is the most beautiful gift.

yeah this is Internet performance art at its finest

I'm guessing a little too much feel for you guys?

:)

I think it's actually been a strong year for rap overall though. Some of my favs:

Vince Staples – Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2
Future – Honest
Young Scooter – Street Lottery 2
Ace Hood – Starvation 3
Isaiah Rashad – Cilvia Demo
Bliss & Alice – The Shit Talker Tape
Lil Herb – Welcome to Fazoland
Ola Playa – Slime Season
Peewee Longway – The Blue M&M
Gucci Mane & Peewee Longway – The White Album
YG – My Krazy Life
Travis Porter – Music Money Magnums 2
Casino – Frank Matthews
Low Pros – Low Pros

what a strong year that includes an Ace Hood mixtape, and the dregs of cobbled together Gucci loosies while he's in jail, and MAKIN MONEY WITH CASIIIINOOOOOOOO

It's probably the worst year for rap albums since the pre-1986 days when there were only like 20 albums coming coming out TOTAL, and some of them were by Mr. T

banner year for mixtapedia though. the blue M&M!

So no one can name a single album better than DBR?

Vince Staples – Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2
Future – Honest
Young Scooter – Street Lottery 2
Ace Hood – Starvation 3
Isaiah Rashad – Cilvia Demo
Bliss & Alice – The Shit Talker Tape
Lil Herb – Welcome to Fazoland
Ola Playa – Slime Season
Peewee Longway – The Blue M&M
Gucci Mane & Peewee Longway – The White Album
YG – My Krazy Life
Travis Porter – Music Money Magnums 2
Casino – Frank Matthews
Low Pros – Low Pros

^^^LOL.

Sloppy Toppy = a gift from god.

Please go into detail on each one of those "^^^LOL"s. Pleeeease do. Pleeeeeeease.

In that they're not very good? Find it hilarious throwaway cheap trash like most of that list (I haven't heard of half of them) is cool yet t.s OBVIOULSLY isn't. I like Future, I like Honest, but I probably like Pluto more.

Isn't it that kind of 'throwaway cheap trash' that he pillages for his style?

If I want to listen to Lil Herb I'll listen to Styles P, if I can't find any ghost ill put on Saigon's return of the yardfather.

"Isn't it that kind of 'throwaway cheap trash' that he pillages for his style?"

True or not as if anything is truly original, lacking influence.

No way you mentioned that Pee Way Longway m/t as something superior to DBR. No way anyone here is actually listening to Pee Way Longway m/ts.

Well, upthread, you did write: 'The sound on this release is completely new and progressive to anything I've seen before.' But I guess that was only true until it made more sense to mean the exact opposite.

If I don't care about this will dude's previous mixtape do anything to change my mind? Guessing the answer's no

what about Travi$ Scott I mean he put him on a track man

Isn't run the jewels like 2 yrs old?

God times like this I wish Ethan was still around so he could take your lunch money & stuff you in a locker

Aw cmon this thread is bringin the lolz

Looking for "a great verse"? Ha.

how foolish for me to look for such things in rap music

"Please man. It's 2014. We've moved beyond such banalities in our rap music. We've progressed beyond 'verses'"

I was thinking it was Ethan, nicely nuanced troll

Could be DK but I'm not sure who he's parodying if so

how is it not totally plausible that some KTT forum type found his way here and is digging in his heels. sock puppet theory seems very unnecessary here.

At any rate BeatKing's gangsta stripper music 2 >

Oh it's plausible I guess by Occam's razor, just sayin

I mean, let's not act like sock puppetry of this kind is unprecedented here

kinda feels like the peak sock era of ilx is ancient history
