rolling regional thug thread 2012

ca$h out tape is as hooky and goony as i was hoping for. good yin and yang with rich boyz imo

RIP Sno Boy from King Louie's crew -- he was murdered in the ridiculous wave of violence that hit chicago this past weekend (40 people shot, 10 killed)

his verses are all over louie's 'hardbody' mixtape that came out last summer

40 people!!! Jesus!

I mean, that's not 'normal' for a weekend in a big US city right?

huffington post is saying it was actually 52

i don't know the per capita numbers offhand (murder's obv a big issue in baltimore but it's also a much smaller population than chicago) but yeah that's a horrifying amount of shootings/deaths anywhere in any context i think

jordan will prob dig this

chief keef's crotch?

aw!!

8 reported murders in nyc last week.

so yes, that's an insane amount of violence for a weekend.

feeling that keef mixtape. he's got a unique rapping style and the beats are hard hard hard. can't wait for the waka collab.

ca$h out tape sounded nice altho (i can't believe i'm saying this) i might be fruity swagged out for a bit. 'cashin out' is a good single but could basically be a future track.

feeling this:

i want keef to get more rap-y. but i think thats just a function of being young. the important thing is that he's got clear ideas & sounds like himself, not concealing personality with technique.

that said 'i don't like' '3hunna' 'save that shit' and a couple other tracks bang p hard

cash out was biting future on several tracks of his mixtape

r kelly is on future's album ^_^

man i knew chicago had some problems the last few summers but that is insane. :(

haha i read that^ as a reply to Jordan's post

oh god guilty lol

what was the reason for the chicago deaths?!

i like the new big krit song a lot

which song?

"i got this"

not on the mixtape, which doesn't have a "country shit" level standout but is the first time his persona's really drawn me in over mixtape length

cool, haven't heard that one yet

fiend rapping over a rap beat !

lex do you have twitter?

yes. we follow each other. i've missed 90% of everything that's happened on the internet from friday til a few hours ago though cuz i had too much work to stress about.

no i was just wondering cuz i tried to tweet something at you & your handle didnt come up in the box

twitter can be annoying and buggy like that. or you're trying to tweet @lexpretend rather than @alex_macpherson which is my twitter handle these days

(40 people shot, 10 killed)

!! this is insane. even Oakland isn't this bad

holy shit america :( stop killing each other.

yeah those numbers are ridiculous

random question: did stat quo's album on shady ever come out?

doi it did apparently in 2010 i forget to just spotify stuff

listening now

woah biggs, jay and dame's old partner in roc-a-fella might go up for 40 years on drug charges!

SO MUCH E-40.

This dude's hustle is relentless.

young chop snapped on this beat

that guy is a dope ass producer

lex will love that

i put him on 'i need a hitta' earlier he was fucking with it

"i think like that" lets you imagine what it would've been like if diamond or princess ever put out a good solo track

'i think i like that' is like the flip of 'i don't like' lol

er, 'i think i like'

Really fucking loving this album Lo-Fi Fingahz by some dude Gensu Dean, older looking NYC type DJ, pretty fucking great trad east coast beats, check it out if you liked the last Statik Selektah....DJ album, songs w/Brand Nubian, Roc Marciano, Count Bass D, Prince Po from Organized Konfusion (!!), David Banner, DMC, some dudes i never heard of but mostly all good except the English dudes

This song's video is super corny but the beat is great and Large Professor is on the mic....also it's got a STUPID long intro (even for a rap video nowadays) skip to like 3mins in

"i think like that" lets you imagine what it would've been like if diamond or princess ever put out a good solo track

ahem "lotta money" is a classic

i can't find an mp3 of that sasha gohard track

man i thought you guys would think the kareem biggs thing was a bigger deal, kinda crazy to me

former roc-a-fella execs are having a hard week
