swag cru -- POX year end song recommendations

I wanna know what yall were feeling this year -- try to keep these **off the radar** selections if at all possible -- this is not an autogoon digest, no waka flocka album cuts itt. Put me on to shit I dont know otherwise. Crowdsourcing.

ALSO NO YOUTUBE EMBEDS -- links only, include artist & song title!!

example

1. Young Gully - Tru

its ok if you have linked it before on ilx, as long as it wasnt something that has been listed & discussed excessively

& imo for every two songs you post you should talk about one of someone else's entries

obv i dont really care if thats what you do itt but something to aim for that might make things more interesting

alright thats all.

oh yeah, no more than ten per person !!! no 300 song excel spreadsheets, keep this the cream of the underrated rap traxxx

you dont have to post all ten at once though

so would someone else's first pick be 2. or is that 1. just to count off your ten

just 1 for your own ten

hmm i'll give it a go...just some stuff i haven't seen mentioned here much:

Vado - Ain't A Thang To Me (better than all of the songs on Slime Flu, which is dope btw)
Squareoff - Where Dat Chicken At? (I like these guys, third dude is the best one tho - "niggas wanna click with me and bitches wanna get with me/they heard I smoke that piffery and get it rotisserie")
L.E.S - Keep It Playa (maybe I'm just a sucker for the "Mo Money, Mo Murder..." sample but this is one of my fave songs this year, actually Les' whole mixtape is on some smooth shit - fans of Krit, Currensy, Wiz etc. should fuck with him imo)
Kent Money - Rollin (beat is dope)
Los - Monster Freestyle (this guy isn't really the type of rapper that y'all fuck with here but he is really good imo)
Rick Ross - White Sand Pt. 2 (Gunplay killed this ... "somebody told, now somebody's body's cold, maricon".. albert anastacia is a good ass mixtape >>> teflon don)
Al-Doe - Roll Another Blunt (dope, Gucci on the hook)
Reek Da Villain - (dude is nice, his second verse in particular... also "It's Mechanic Time!" is like the best Swizz Beatz adlib this year... I say it randomly all of the time)
Meek Mill & Chic Raw - Gasoline (Meek killed this, Jahlil is a v. good producer.. this isn't my fave Meek track this year but it's dope so yeah)
JohnBoy YaBoy - Let That Boy Cook (best cooking song besides "wanton soup", better jacking of B's style than all of Soulja Boy's attempts... Soulja has had a lot of dope songs this year tho, Legendary is a good mixtape)

knew bw would kill it

that LES has some dope production - i actually like the beat approach better than wiz/currensy or krit's -- but hes the most boring rapper of all four

that LES album i mean

whoa @ the fake Drake on 'rollin'

man all that monster freestyle did was hammer home how dope the monster beat is

classic gucci hook on that al-doe

xp yeah that is a very spot-on Drake impersonation lol

2. philthy rich, rydah j klyde (--first verse kills it), stevie joe, matt blaque - so much pain

3. jacka & laroo - blood shot eyez

wow that philthy rich song is great

4. alley boy - play yo position feat. eldorado red
#1 beat of the year

klyde's performance on that is NEXT LEVEL

choppin rocks on the hood of a box chev / taught to beat the block til the muthafuckin block bled

so few dudes can pull off that kind of intensity w/ that level of believability

5. Lil Rue - Push it (not a rick ross freestyle dont worry)

6. davinci - whiplash

Los - Monster Freestyle (this guy isn't really the type of rapper that y'all fuck with here but he is really good imo)

i know Los! interviewed him a few years back, and this year my paper gave him a 'best of baltimore award', probably is the best rapper in the city these days

sorry deej i really thought i was doing those links correctly. apologize for embedding :(

~~sighs~~

Not having sound on my computer for most of this year has really curtailed my ability to just check out random stuff. :/

D-Lo - Bizness Hype

deej you want me to mod req that post to be deleted?

baserock babies is classic

will someone try to explain what is so significant/good about "Black Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa

it's like the blog rap "Empire State of Mind" right now

or "Black and Yellow" rather

pop rapper makes catchy pop rap song

dont get what makes it empire state of mind-like

it would be funny if he did a song with an R&B diva belting "PIIIIIIIIITTSBUUUUUUURGH"

i have no idea why it would be like "empire state of mind" but i feel my post still got my point across.

or question rather

i'd like to cross-reference the "get drunk and listen to waka" thread here

i guess it's like the new "A Milli", "BMF" or "Hard In The Paint" really

it would be funny if he did a song with an R&B diva belting "PIIIIIIIIITTSBUUUUUUURGH"

otm, would be hilarious

young gully, roach gigz & stik gilatine - sugar coated and watered down
lady leshurr - move/shurr
young sleep ft. lil boosie - antidote
roach gigz - pop off
diplomats - salute
lioness - sing for him
az - feel my pain
rich boy ft. yelawolf - go crazy
shawnna ft. t-pain - nappy boy
diamond - lotta money

oh man that AZ song is soooo good

good thread yall

except for m@tt -- would SB you if you hadnt voted for 'baserock babies'

i think i'm retiring anyway don't worry! this thread has been a wakeup call

noooo

roc marciano & naughty by nature traxx are dope

7. lil boosie - from the bottom

technically '09 but it was a mixtape album track then & got a vid this year
plus its a good track to memorialize his last year of freedom

super impressed with "where dat chicken at" - i love everything about that opiate haze of a beat

also feeling shawty fatt, though lol at his name

jacka's "we mafia" is on a free three-track ep on bandcamp - actually like the second one, "try to let go", better. apart from the (still-awesome) jacka and laroo album (favourite on this is "get on 1" - such a pretty chorus! netta b, do more music please), i think my favourite jacka 2010 thing is "aspen".

btw if u check out only one of the artists in my 10, make it lady leshurr

Only listened to a handful of these so far but already adore:

"Where Dat Chicken At"
"Play Your Position"
"Baserock Babies"
"Gasoline"

i think my favourite jacka 2010 thing is "aspen".

been procrastinating on it, but i mean it is still early december.

nht boyz - ya bitch wanna

could have just as easily chosen a couple other songs off this tape but i think this is one's my favourite. best beat/hook combo since toot it & boot it

zedzilla - im a boss

i really liked some of this kid's verses on cocaine muzik 4 from earlier this year (book shows off my phone/move o's off my phone/might find a picture of your ho, dawg, with her clothes off on my phone) and kept an eye & just recently became aware of this. don't imagine hell be a yo gotti underling for too long, got lots of charisma & personality, good ear for pop rap

*eye out

that song was from last yr! 'phone ringin' i mean
who is flopson btw

pho-phone ringin who'r dere tell sum bitch call me back

8.rich kidd ft gucci mane - watch me do my thang hoe

my brother put me up on that, apparently it's getting mad radio play in miami cuz dude is from overtown

9. ace hood ft gucci mane - why you mad

"bitch" is like my least favorite song on the E-40 album

no slap to it

the gucci verse on that ace hood got me so amped when i first heard it (in the car! -- thank you khaled god)

they hostile
i hit a wet child
they fragile
i'm agile
i'm too cold
in a tanktop
i need a scarf on
cuz i'm iced out
boulder
crest's finest
your highness
i'm shining
got a gold touch
like midas
and my rocks be
the tightest
i know they want to
bite me
they prolly want to
fight me
i woke up in a igglo
i always be icy
strapped up like birdman
and lil wayne
and mack maine
i'm gucci mane
i'm off the chain
i have no
gun license
they angry at my lambo
mad at my ferrari
i'm so fast and furious
they furious, i'm sorry
curious, she choosin
lookin at my pockets
pockets full of them hundreds
baby it's no problem

"bitch" is like my least favorite song on the E-40 album
