ayo best coco yayo maco wacko no-fi schmoundcloud dooblebob vine rap thingy of 2014

like i could see it popping up on shazam in Los Angeles w/in days of it getting posted on blogs, definitely didn't work like that for any of these earlier artists

ditto with Dej Loaf

i mean there's still dudes who have like over 4-5 million views in chicago who arent even getting label attention, ppl were scared basically ... & maybe rightfully so in some instances!

part of the reason i think ppl latched on to herb & bibby (even though herb for ex still seems to be involved in street shit) is bc they werent as tied to beefs w/ 300/600/OTF

is it possible Epic is just a better label than Interscope to sign to these days? Interscope only released i think 2 rap albums in 2014 (Schoolboy and the Shady comp).

lol are Dej Loaf and Shmurda appropriating Chicago culture like Iggy's US accent

ha obv not appropriation (although influence isnt a stretch at all obv) but i dont think its a coincidence that Lyor Cohen/Todd Moscowitz's label for scouting street talent & getting them on radio (cf Fetty Wap, Shy Glizzy, etc.) is called "300" even if they claim it's named for the movie

They WANT to be associated with the violent gangs of Chicago? Or is it all subconscious?

it's not the street gang part that interests them

Say what you will about them, but "Coco" and "Yayo" are probably the two catchiest songs of all these

*gazes at list of catchy songs*

BAKING SODA

the other day at the grocery store i passed by an employee carrying a load of baking soda boxes to the baking aisle and he was rapping that line to himself

i want to believe

it actually happened, it was the best thing

was the guy delivering the tropicana singing "no juice"

ehhhh a million rappers have referenced that movie, it's like The Matrix of its era

the era of seven years after the matrix

I still don't get what the non-coincidence consists in. But whatever. deej will be deej.

i know yr on this quest to prove that no one cares about chicago and chicago doesnt matter but come the fuck on

it was the biggest major label deal for a new artist in YEARS ... it was not a minor thing ... and his price only got that high bc a label couldn't get to him before the general public did ... which is what the "300" label is now concerned with fixing

So... the new new conspiracy is actually signing rappers before they manage to get famous on their own and start costing labels money? Devious.

what 'conspiracy' thats how labels work

thats how they signed young thug for 15k

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

guess raccoon got his vote in before he got banned

no flex zone is in no way part of this trend imo

"out here like a possum i'm so i'm so awesome" was a fine lyric deserving of at least one vote tbh

no flex zone is in no way part of this trend imo

***RANKING KANYE***

yeah this is a "trend" like the people in the year-end tracks poll thread are like "i don't know about all these rap songs with DRUMS and SYNTHESIZERS, i'm not down with this PHASE rap is going through"

Classic rtc post, hate you had to link it yourself

wasn't "no type" in this poll? where has it gone?

this thread title continues to give me heart palpitations

if you can't stand stand a year of rap novelty hits as William CarleS. Burroughs poetry, then check KanyeToThe.com for open registration

kanyetothe is also the one other place on the internet besides this thread that people will cop to liking og maco

Rick Rubin recognizes game

Y'all need to hear og maco's undefeated. It's got the hypest carmen sample of all time.

RIP when vinyl of hit rap songs didn't only exist as collectables for white yuppies ;_;

blame buzzfeed, i'm just the white yuppy messenger

oh good my white label 12" is all scratched up

Ot's new single is a blatant mash up (theft) of "run Ricky run" and "dis ain't what you want"

"run ricky run" was kind of a knockoff of "u guessed it"

every time i look at this title it gets worse

somehow hadn't noticed "schmoundcloud" the last 50 times whatever the hell it means

hahaha same here

The eye goes right to 'doodlebob'

somehow hadn't noticed "schmoundcloud" the last 50 times whatever the hell it means
