oh, well to be fair he did say that diggy simmons sounded better on the beat

i like the ramadanman track but so far nothing else i haven't heard already that sounds interesting to me

it's weird tho -- i liked the beat at first, though now i find it pretty repulsive, but in any event it doesn't strike me as the type of beat like "miss me" or something where you can just totally vibe to the thing while ignoring the rapping -- it seems more, purposefully, like a backdrop beat that's really meant to emphasize the lyrics

talking about "over" obv
damn, i always forget how good that alicia joint is
― o let's not do it and say we did (The Reverend), Monday, 13 December 2010 10:32 (thirteen years ago) link
"over" beat is dope in a heatmade in '04 kinda way but that just makes me wish i could hear some roc dudes in their prime spit gully shit on it
― o let's not do it and say we did (The Reverend), Monday, 13 December 2010 10:33 (thirteen years ago) link
also i thought his point about t-pain was bizarre & didn't really make sense in the context of what he said about drake? like, i guess the idea of rap/r&b being "slash & burn" or w/e was sorta right, but it seems off to me to say that drake has avoided the fate of being cast off due to self-parody because he put out a "cogent" debut album by using the example of t-pain, who was actually a really coherent album artist
also i fail to see the connection b/w putting out a "cogent" album & not randomly losing favor w/in the industry & public
― ad hom alone (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 December 2010 10:37 (thirteen years ago) link
the alicia joint is def very good -- would actually like to see drake put more time into writing r&b for other artists
― ad hom alone (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 December 2010 10:39 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah otm. also t-pain was never really taken as a rapper like drake usually is, just as a dude who raps sometimes like lil jon or pharrell or something xp
― o let's not do it and say we did (The Reverend), Monday, 13 December 2010 10:40 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, the example of lil wayne wouldn't fit for brandon's thesis because wayne hasn't fallen off, but he's clearly the direct lineage for drake's sing/rap thing, and more importantly, being ubiquitous all over other ppl's singles in both fashions
as for singles, t-pain raps on "kiss kiss" & "shawty get loose" but most of his rapping was on like random remixes that only nerds heard
― ad hom alone (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 December 2010 10:47 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess there are a few others that he raps on ("go girl" etc) but i think he's still classified more like ne-yo, the-dream or akon than wayne or kanye

I mean, the first guy has Thomas Koner, Kevin Drumm and Keith Fullerton Williams which are pretty cool so the other ones should be interesting. As for the second one, I can't fucking stand Joanna Newsom but she has plenty of never-heard-of japanese stuff that looks rad. Kinda like reading volcanictongue or The Wire EOY lists.

This is a pretty funny thread though, with everyone bitching and bitching about how boring and similar these lists are, but when presented with one that really looks completely different from the rest (the Classic Rock), its all, "lol that is an awful list full of awful music". No pleasing you guys at all, is there? "Different" lists only count if they have the records you like?

random thoughts on pfork traxxx list:
don't get the big deal w/r/t "round and round" -- i mean it's okay, but.....?
worst song on the LCD album at #3 = looool
can't believe "fuck you" is stuck at #26, that is CRIMINAL
think "CMYK" is the better james blake track..
worst sleigh bells song at #14, there's a reason the album is awesome but none of the other songs sound like fucking "rill rill"
oh, and wasn't "exhibit c" from '09?
― i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 06:40 (thirteen years ago) link
