ilx stay snitchin'.

Did anyone other than me like the Yancey Boys album?

strickler does raps now?

ZING

good title

certainly obviates arguments in advance

was partial to cowfish but this is alright

twerking would have been perfect but it's not obscure enough

people still make rap mmusic?

hahaha this title

big fan

if this stops at least one British person from posting about rap on ILX, then I'll consider it a success.

Am I going to have to look at this title all year?

what's worse about looking at this all year than "rolling ophthalmology"?

You won't have learned how to spell 'ophthalmology' by the end of the year

of course, thanks!

Obviously, the title of this thread should have been "rolling smoke crack with me bro"

Twista released a rappin-ass-rappin EP a couple weeks back titled Back to Basics. I wasn't expecting much but it's crazy good if you like 90s Twista and the Speedknot Mobstaz.

Those strings by The Legendary Traxster on Ferocious.

what kind of monster doesn't like 90s twista?

i saw him play at this party at e3 once, he did this thing where the DJ kept speeding up the BPM on the beat and he just kept flowing faster and faster and faster, was one of the best fucking live gimmicks i've ever seen in my life

dude totally set the bar for clarity and fluency of live performance back in the day

good looking out on the Twista EP, hadn't heard about that at all. i think he's better at soft batch R&B crossover rap than probably anybody besides Fabolous, but it's still cool for him to just stunt with the flow too.

That Yo clip is awesome, so 90s! "everybody's jumpin now" hahaha.

His flow is pretty Das Efx'y there but he later turned those short bursts of speed into full verses/songs.

Dad Efx is so great

I like Das Efx but can only take a couple songs at a time.

<3 "Dad Efx"

Dad Efx jokes

this just popped up on spotify today...it says 2013 but not sure if it was discussed on the molly thread...anyway...west coast dude, liking this a lot

Problem kinda reminds me of Kurupt, something in his voice

it feels like Problem, Iamsu and YG are constantly jockeying for the same spot in the mainstream and it's not really clear who's gonna come out on top. "Function" was such a prescient song.

iamsu seems pretty minor to me... i doubt people rocking to iamsu radio joints even know who he is

problem will probably never be a huge deal outside of LA

YG is interesting tho cuz he kinda walked into a major hit & now has a pretty great song with a drake feature on deck

i'm pretty excited about that album for whatever reason

i really love every iamsu production i hear but it never translates into investigating further or keeping up with him for some reason

hi guys. i'm doing that thing where i bookmark this thread now and will have completely lost track by march.

it moves pretty slowly these days. Shouldn't be too hard to keep up!

hi guys, i'm doing that thing where i urge d-40 not to posy 9 billion youtubes and/or ask mods to turn off youtubes so my computer doesnt explode if i get more than a week behind

Seconded. With this and the R&B thread.

turning off youtubes was the best ilx choice i ever made

same

Is there a way to turn off YouTubes without turning off images? Or are you guys using a browser plugin?

when your album won't give you a release date for your album, leaking your b-sides seems like a better alternative to leaking your album, idk:

http://koolad.bandcamp.com/track/pass-the-milk-feat-milo-prod-iglooghost

(i have images turned off)

i didn't do that at all last year. .. in fact i posted in the thread last year less than ever before

it was probably me, sorry irrelevant bros

lol @ anyone who uses ilx w/o youtube block

yeah love it, new starlito good too

new starlito >>>>>>>> everything else

I've always appreciated your Starlito stanning even if I don't get him at all.

catching up on 2014 stuff....SD's "Circles"! amazing song. deej gave it a good writeup on pitchfork last month. i wrote a corny indie rebus to describe it but yeah just check it out. warning: there's no rapping.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAaGD3PEFZ8

yeah i'm lito's #1 stanna.

thanks for that martorialist link above, def a lot of good jams to discover

http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/three-wise-migos-a-very-special-holiday-tale-for-our-times/

pretty funny, the chain-snatching is addressed

http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/thuggerfortugger-a-modest-proposal-to-put-young-thug-in-the-rap-enhanced-cats-musical/

not as bad as this but i'm pretty fucking over "funny" rap writing

well, the latter thing is alex fucking pappademas, who can be relatively erudite when talking about film or obscure comics shit but a clueless dipshit in most other areas, especially music, so no wonder.

on another note, i'm enjoying all the blurbs written by al/j0rd/deej/whiney for the RS rap list - thanks goons

chuck d coming for the goons https://twitter.com/mrchuckd/status/547561443134943232

rolling CORP low bar thread 2015?

yesss thread title saved by chuck d in the nick of time

does chuck d know about "my world of young people"?

hes arguing my world of old ppl on twitter right now

ME of all people getting hardsonned for not paying enough to over-35 rappers is not how I predicted this year would end

haha it's crazy. you put up a good response to him tho.

he chose the list w/ like the broadest coverage of rap in the industry to make his pt lol

Amazing stuff

E40 (w big sean) on Fallon just now was great

amazing

just came here to see this

good work lowering the bar goons

Whiney Chuck D. called you "my man" xd

vlad is a v shameless interviewer

wow at that interview. all kinda deep talk and trina just rolled along with it

that crowd video is to chief keef's self-produced 'faneto' btw

how about a good old fashioned deej late nite youtube bomb to send the year out in style?

RIYL The Lex playlists:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UXLNSkUGf8

That's Kiyana feat. Diamond - No Love

Thought Fat Trel was kind of losing it but this record is fire, "My Bruvas"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTiOGexeCZw

A Roscoe Dash comeback is all I can ask for in this world. This track is fire. I assume the radio edit will be called "Hittin"

Roscoe Dash - Shittin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIvJoY5oCQc

Young Dolph & Shy Glizzy - Make the World Go Round
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOEm2Qo4jsI

Haven't been too into the output of either of these dudes, they're both obv talented but tend to churn out middling (or at least overrated by trap fans) stuff in between occasional moments of touching humanness or genuine bangers. This one is esp catchy, kind of hypnotic, nice to see Drumma Boy back at it

Lil Flash feat. Tarentino - Finesse You Or Not
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iL-enVhOto

for a braindead fake chief keef caucasian this has a pretty effective hook & slurred vibe that i think works p well, not exactly something id f/w on a deep level but catchy lil potential radio record

Speaking of random white dudes i do not endorse this (its a catchy lil jingle at any rate) but on #trendwatch here's Zach Farlow's minor bubbling record "Toast". Not linking to the official video bc that will prejudice you against it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eOfXVTho50

in case its not obvious its a flagrant Quan or Future bite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTqJIdUdRAg

Lil Snupe & Lil Boosie - Meant to Be

:(

hold up, another white rapper who nabbed a jamming beat & hook

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOM7GPB9SCs

g-eazy & too short "show you the world"

this is a lil extra on the ignorap scale

feel like everyone is hunting for a hip-hop bieber

rolling hip-hop bieber thread 2015

Also I really like this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4-xPtWMu50
Nebu Kiniza - Myself

That's Kiyana feat. Diamond - No Love

yasss bish yasss

people need to tell me about these songs immediately when they emerge

the roscoe dash is a banger too

Happy new year, goons.
