worst fruity swag releases of 2010

we can't have nice things

oh ok, never saw the op yesterday, thought it and the next couple posts happened at the same time

this will all be relevant when kanye drops his dubstep album in 2012

'middlebrow rap' needs a swag cru re-naming to explain this swath of shit that appeals to kids who think the blueprint is the illmatic of the 00s

Aztekk Calendah could be a good dubstep MC name

i don't think blueprint is the right album there

this irredeemable Das Racist/Chairlift collabo was on a critically acclaimed mixtape

i think you want 'college dropout'

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?

somedude about to get butthurt that we dont like his hero, BOB

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?

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

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.

i mean, that's all a thing now because a lot of those those guys have had legit pop hits since

what does the mythical Nah Right reading rap fan even listen to anymore if skinny jeans r daed

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

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

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

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

Drake fits in here, obv -- or ppl who think Drake is a legit good rapper

Drake is lyrically lollical

Nicki Minaj is MBR

we have to come up with a better name than "middlebrow rap" tho, come on goons

Airplane glue

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 shouted out shipley because i didn;t want to pass off his observation as my own

softserve was always a favorite of mine

i didn't say ILX POSTER AL SHILPEY ON INFLUENTIAL MESSAGE BOARD ILX ROCKISM

who came up with soft serve?

imo, too much meta on swag cru these days

everyone is touchy (including myself obv) but we need to step step off

i didn't say ILX POSTER AL SHILPEY ON INFLUENTIAL MESSAGE BOARD ILX ROCKISM

lol why did you throw the word rockism on the end of this -- i think the whineyzing 3000 needs a re-boot

for lols! and you lol'd!

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

If I can help it, high. I can't decide whether BMF should be higher than Hard in da Paint or likewise.

i think it's apt that "bmf" as an acronym sounds like it's in the vein of smh and kmt

because that is what i do when i hear it or see people praise it

of course "hard in da paint" is fucking better!

"hard in da paint" renders it completely redundant by taking pretty much the same slamming beat and REMOVING RICK ASTHMATIC ROSS

rick ross's eyes are just like a deer's, really freaks me out

lol yeah that moment in the Trae video is startling

goat eyes vs. bawse eyes

what's kmt mean?

And I know you don't agree, but I LIKE Ross, Lex.

kissing my teeth (british ish)

Makes sense that it's British, I've never heard that phrase here in Canadia.

hey you guys, good dubstep is good, bad dubstep is bad. that first yt that deej posted is terrible, but you guys sound mad clueless when you dismiss a whole genre that has become really varied & inclusive.

whiney is really the only person that widely dismisses dubstep as a whole

i have room in my heart for each generation's autechre

blame oj da juiceman

lol, this thread

swag was a fucking terrible word for free stuff, wtf
