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

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

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

bozack horseman (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 1 September 2014 14:53 (nine years ago) link

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

some dude, Monday, 1 September 2014 15:06 (nine years ago) link

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

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.

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 1 September 2014 16:47 (nine years ago) link

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

Frederik B, Monday, 1 September 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link

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.

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 1 September 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link

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.

Frederik B, Monday, 1 September 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link

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

Looking for "a great verse"? Ha.

Neanderthal, Monday, 1 September 2014 18:20 (nine years ago) link

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

some dude, Monday, 1 September 2014 18:28 (nine years ago) link

"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

rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 1 September 2014 19:11 (nine years ago) link

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.

some dude, Monday, 1 September 2014 19:12 (nine years ago) link

At any rate BeatKing's gangsta stripper music 2 >

rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 1 September 2014 19:14 (nine years ago) link

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

rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 1 September 2014 19:15 (nine years ago) link

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

rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 1 September 2014 19:23 (nine years ago) link

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

some dude, Monday, 1 September 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link

So I asked for better albums, no one came with any. Apart from some Gucci mane and pee wee long way etc cheap mix tapes. Lol.

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 1 September 2014 19:56 (nine years ago) link

there's a pretty strong consensus around the YG album, nobody cares if you don't like it

some dude, Monday, 1 September 2014 19:57 (nine years ago) link

Damn, can't believe Travi$ cott is ILM's album of the year...

No need to do a year-end poll we already know the winner

Congratulation to Travi $cott for winning album of the year

also i think you've gotten enough listening recommendations in this thread

rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 1 September 2014 20:15 (nine years ago) link

I don't even like "Anaconda" but for some reason I want to spend like 40 posts in this thread making up reasons as to why it has saved music in 2014.

need to step your 'nuki game up

Neanderthal, Monday, 1 September 2014 21:11 (nine years ago) link

the ability to fell short mixtapes with a single LOL

Neanderthal, Monday, 1 September 2014 21:14 (nine years ago) link

I don't like this tape but I also am not a Nicki Minaj fan, non-hipster cred clearly intact

nova, Monday, 1 September 2014 21:41 (nine years ago) link

Still no albums posted....

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 1 September 2014 21:47 (nine years ago) link

because no one actually cares

stacked as fuck & imposing (DJP), Monday, 1 September 2014 21:57 (nine years ago) link

RT, the fact that nobody cares about you except for making fun at your incoherent rambling and speculating about whether or not you're a sockpuppet, does not mean you're right.

Frederik B, Monday, 1 September 2014 22:00 (nine years ago) link

Guys he just wants to tell you what you like sucks, why cant you play along

Οὖτις, Monday, 1 September 2014 22:00 (nine years ago) link

Ty Dolla $ign is a dude with a $ in his name that dropped a better tape than this, there ya go

hearing "It's a BIG E beat!" on one Owl Pharaoh track just reminds me of Wayne rapping "This is a Big E beat/And I'ma cook this bitch like piggy meat yeeeeaaahh" on Dedication 3. Underrated Wayne couplet
