rolling regional thug thread 2012

don't know about that asap ferg, wish it sounded more like his verse on kissin pink

i like that song but yeah it's a little too based for my tastes. would like to see him do more melodic rider rap.

extracted from the gay rapper thread but unlike a lot of that stuff it works decontextualised from that scene/as a straight-up club rap banger

FEATURING CHICAGO ARTIST

are you familiar with my decade-long crusade against people in hip hop constantly using the word "artist" without an s at the end as if it's plural

lol, yes. yes i am.

heads up J0rdan

love this beat

is this the first time meek mill has done a "meek will inherit the earth" line?

"burn" is O_O amazing

the first meek song that hooked me in had church bells as a beat too, "gasoline". more people should do that

"a1 everything" is stunning as well

oh god people misspelling "used to be" as "use to be" is such a pet hate of mine WHYYYYYYYY

Proper English pls.

this new killer mike record is so great.

Used to be a YouTube

Meek Mill tapes sound like they have a lot of work going into them. Maybe one day I'll listen to one twice

as opposed to...lil b tapes that sound like there's no effort going into them?

i find meek mill effortlessly enjoyable and listenable - i guess it sags towards the end but yknow it's a mixtape. the high points are stunning

yeah, i prefer it to the first dreamchasers... i think you get a bit better sense of who he is as an artist

1st dream chasers is wayyy better. nothing on this touches 'im a boss' or 'middle of the summer' or 'tony story'

This seems more consistent though

yeah this is more consistent... i'd buy the argument that there's not a "middle of the summer" or a "tony story" but there's a lot of average songs on there w/ beats and hooks that could've been on half the mixtapes that come out in any given week

this one starts to fall off after "the ride" but until that it's much stronger up and down -- the production is a lot more distinct, for one

i dunno. i'm looking for something i'll actually want to hear on the radio all year round. too many 'lean wit it's not enough 'i'm a boss's

"lean wit it" has grown on me. still need to hear the tape, though.

well "i'ma boss" was off the MMG comp -- it was just thrown onto 'dreamchasers' bcuz it was already a hit

i mean if he can make the banger of the year two years in a row by some miracle i'll give him longer than mid-may to come up with it, but generally i just want him to not totally fuck up on the road to having a retail album

xpost

i think the track with big sean is awesome and could be as big a radio as hit as "tupac back" or "house party"

and i love "amen"

such is my optimism that i am even willing to take the statement "the track with big sean is awesome" at face value

the track with big sean may actually be the best thing on the mixtape

i didn't hear anything to rival "ima boss" in the banger stakes or even "middle of da summer" in big-sounding emotion - i wouldn't say it's a step up as such but it's a step that keeps things interesting w/r/t the position MM is carving out for himself

i LIKE 'lean wit it' but its just like .. .straight bangers like that that are big & aggressive & alright

the big sean is cool but its the same thing, real aggressive but not really a great single

amen is cool but i dont really feel it like that

:O

LOL the first dreamchasers is like the most consistent mixtape of the past 2 or 3 years, easy. the new one is pretty good, but it sorta feels just like 1 but with all the real talk/personal songs stripped out and replaced with big name features that i don't really give a shit about.

so Big Sean is pretty widely hated then? I'm not too familiar with his stuff and he has an annoying voice but i think he's pretty damn good on "Burn"
