rolling regional thug thread 2012

the jay rock record has some jams but for me, schoolboy q's is the best followed by kendrick, although i can see why non-rap fans might prefer the kendrick but it's a bit too arch / ambitious while schoolboy q seems perfectly satisfied making just-rap music

pretty sure kendrick's album is way more popular among rap fans too, dude. that's a bullshit false dichotomy.

also why are being arch or ambitious inherently bad things?

you're misunderstanding bro. i'm not talking about how popular they are with rap fans at all; Kendrick is obviously the bigger breakthrough name. I'm just saying for non-rap fans, I think Kendrick is an easier sell.

and being arch and ambitious aren't inherently bad things, they're just not things i tend to look for in rap music very often, personally.

of course ambitious is a v. broad word to use, but in this case I mean it in the Lupe/BoB sense. I mean, I really like the Kendrick record, but to me its a very very well done version of a kind of rap I usually avoid; the fact that he pulls it off is all the more impressive to me. But end of day, the schoolboy Q is def more in my wheelhouse

I fuck with Jay Rock. think his debut album was a solid B+, didn't maintain the same tenacity towards the end, but I like him on Strange.

love the Kendrick too. ain't heard Schoolboy Q but now am curious.

oh i think i forgot to mention that whiney sounds ridiculous hating on that action bronson song, it's not a 'hipster mash up' u goofball, hes rapping over standard '80s jukebox music in a 'jackin for beats' style

white rap wh1ney likes =

girl talk jacks the same songs!

i don't think you even know why girl talk is bad, do you

i like girl talk!

the vibe i got was that ilx doesn't because 16 year old Tumblr whites can only get with Boosie if Jeff Mangum is honking underneath him or something

that's one hell of a sentence, Whiney

haha. well, it is true that i prefer bronson rapping over phil collins to bronson over generic dinosaur boom bap / wu revival, but i think the dynamics at play are different CALL ME CRAZY

the pfork singles review where they call the Azeaealia Bank mixtape "a jaw-slackening demo reel" is 100% funnier than "regional thug" btw

lol whiney's like the dad who comes home drunk & wants to pick a fight except he doesn't drink

thug waffle, btw

i feel like flatbush zombies is an attempt to troll music critics

a test to see if a marketing company can successfully get an Ego commercial in your favorite magazines

Eggo

How bout that Sisqo/Stalley mashup lookin dude though.

the name Flatbush Zombies instantly made me think of "grim reapah!" burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb

feeling that yo gotti bw. been jamming that whole mixtape actually.

lol at thug waffle

this thread could have been called rolling regional thug waffle. what a missed opportunity

never too late for you to step away from the dark side deej

would just like to chime in that Girl Talk is total shit gtfo with that nonsense

I don't even like Action Bronson but the jackin for beats 2.0 thing was mildly entertaining

whiney it must be really exhausting to think the way you think and view the world the way you do

um that jackie chain song is AMAZING

er i mean this one, i think i may have landed on it somewhere else
