jeez sorry deej, i looked at a youtube screencap w/ an album cover that said Brand Nubian on it. i don't know what Enter The Dubstep is and am only vaguely aware that dubstep has anything to do with rap. pardon my offensive ignorance!

dubstep is like wild avant-garde music for 17 year old kids that watch animes and play WoW

i thought that was your beloved Linkin Park album?
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:10 (thirteen years ago) link
haha deej c'mon, you list a bunch of well known albums specifically by title, and then reference a barely-rap compilation obliquely with a youtube and get mad when i don't understand exactly what you're talking about?

whiney otm but the reason enter the dubstep was mentioned in the OP is because ... its a dubstep remix of classic rap & it sounds like shit & is worth some lols. yeesh you dudes are mad critical
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:12 (thirteen years ago) link
i actually bought run the road for $1 in a used bin and i think it's pretty cool...but it might be grime not dubstep, or those two things might be the same thing like jungle/drum n' bass
have not heard linkin park, gonna keep it that way

i don't even know what the exact 'middlebrow rap' we're talking about here is. B.o.B. pop shit? diminishing returns Eminem? over enthusiastic Joell Ortiz fans?

― patti ayonnaise (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:18 (thirteen years ago) link
one of the greatest singles artists of all time... OF ALL TIME
i don't think any rap fans actually dig b.o.b anymore?
― *plop*timist (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:19 (thirteen years ago) link
this feels like the conversation we (probably) had when the wale/b.o.b/charles hamilton/kid cudi etc xxl cover came out but it doesn't really feel like that's totally a "thing" anymore
― *plop*timist (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:20 (thirteen years ago) link
altho j. cole is keeping that flame alive
haha i'm not defending B.o.B. at all, he's wack and i mostly like that one song as a shameless Bruno Mars pop song.
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean, that's all a thing now because a lot of those those guys have had legit pop hits since

argh as if it weren't possible to hate kanye even more it pains me to see "hashtag rap" gain currency and "grocery bag" languish in ilx obscurity, come on whiney
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:23 (thirteen years ago) link
BOB & JCole both fit into this ... joell ortiz isnt popular enough ... eminem's record is considered a classic comeback by these dudes. 90% of rap board threads about pitchfork are ppl freaking out that waka outscored eminem
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:24 (thirteen years ago) link
kanye has more cultural curren$y than me at the moment at least.
also there's no way i could have called them grocery bags without being all, THERES THIS MESSAGE BOARD I POST ON GUYS or loltastic circa 2003 conflation "influential critical hangout ilx" ish
― patti ayonnaise (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:25 (thirteen years ago) link
there is literally no excuse to mention ILX in any piece of writing ever, full stop
obv this isnt a 'real genre' just a constellation of 'respected rap' that we mostly think is total crap but it hits this trifecta of being MOR-pop, 'lyrically lyrical' & weirdly popular
― *plop*ism rules (deej), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Drake fits in here, obv -- or ppl who think Drake is a legit good rapper
Drake is lyrically lollical

well you shouted out shipley in that post already for what was, iirc, an ilx post. no need to mention ilx obv
(obv im not mad about this or anything im just saying)

i wish we had thread/board just for goons to hang out where YouTubes dont break everything and we could upload records
btw once p&j results come out, i'll bump this thread to bitch about the rap results
i am curious to see how high "b.m.f." makes it on the tracks list tho
― *plop*timist (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 22:34 (thirteen years ago) link
If I can help it, high. I can't decide whether BMF should be higher than Hard in da Paint or likewise.
