rolling mumble rap challenge 2017

Hey that's cool

deej, I noticed you were complaining on twitter about songs that are only available for streaming and asking about how djs cope with this development. The answer, I think, is that mp3 dj pools are going to become even more important to most djs as the sale of mp3s steadily declines. My main issue with the dj pools is that they're quite expensive - at least as long as you can't actually find everything you need on there anyway. I tend to spend about $ 20 a month on afro/london/dancehall stuff anyway and subscribing to get big sean mp3s on top of that for an additional $ 20-30 a month sucks. I can send you Living Single though. They have it on digiwaxx, which is free as long as you give it a quick review before you dl it.

dope plz send. Yeah I had a dj pool sub but it kept me up on shit i didnt care about & mostly missed all the stuff i want...like do any dj pools have the new carti/uzi "woke up" record? i bet they dont, but they do have (as does amazon) the song that they pushed as a single first.

first initial last name at gmail dot com

the organized noise documentary on netflix was good

im also looking for mp3s of the maleek berry ep

it's running out of puff now finally but lowkey one of the biggest music stories of 17 is popcaan's version of the roy woods tune becoming surely the most successful one minute twelve second tagged unmastered demo leak mp3 ever. pure culture; ppl rinsed it, djs rinsed it (the soundcloud loops it once over, the join is rough, no one cares), perfect daydream ephemera infatuation spring jam form & function

never looked into DJ MP3 pools but I sometimes download monthly bundles of rap songs on slsk

really like this kodak black single. flutes!

this one looks promising also

Just getting into this now (a little weird to listen to bc I submitted a bunch of beats for it in early stages, but I feel pretty detached from it now)

agreed on woke up like this, it's a jam

the new Devin the Dude album has some classic sounding dev joints

Are You Goin' My Way
Tonight
Acoustic Levitation

'Can I' and 'I'm in the Galazy' are great too

cool, excited to dig in here

new Freddie Gibbs is great, he seems energized

thanks for the heads-up on Devin, one of the overlooked great stylists in the history of hip hop

i actually like this new joey bada$$ and schoolboy song
https://soundcloud.com/joeybadass/rockabye-baby

i also thought there was some good shit on the new devin, and then i listened to "to tha x-treme" and yeah.... it's not the same kind of good shit.

it's a different album, more mournful and psychedelic i think
anyway this is great IMO, almost cloud rap vibes in some places

on first pass a lil disappointed in the cupcakke tape. too many dated tropical house beats

i really enjoy the new devin! More psych is right though not as good as x-treme is also right.

would have been better 1st single than Devastated imo. (also the record leaked)

Wow excellent find

Xp

Anyone know if the Kodak Black album's gonna get a physical release?

omg that video...love it

the cool c/steady b thing was really fucked up, just checked wiki cool c was sentenced to death but got a stay, still in prison, steady b is in life w/o parole

philly was always pretty fuckin rough

devastated was really weak attempt at riding current fads nagl for him at all 1) cuz he wasn't any good at it and 2) it seemed weird to switch lanes when he'd somehow actually had some commercial success w/boom bap throwback. new song w/schoolboy is nice cuz it feels a little bit less like duck down/black moon cosplay and modern but still nyc rappity rappin

really enjoying the album. even devastated makes more sense in sequence. god bless rap records with less than 14-15 songs.

no one talking abt Valee yet?

playboi carti is pretty great but thouxanbandfauni sucks

ILM's 2017 Rolling Hip Hop Thread Spotify Playlist

Packs by Your Old Droog is interesting... I like it.

And I said that before I heard him name-check Lemmy and Motorhead on album closer "Winston Red." That kind of thing always makes me smile.

hey everybody I listened to a Joey Bada$$ album

still kinda baffled at how the sonics of late 70s/early 80s dentist office jazz have become so popular w rap producers, these washes of synths w no attack and burbling fender rhodes chord clusters that float around with occasional horn stabs or sax riffs swimming along. I don't dislike it but it did seem like an odd sonic backdrop for like the first half-dozen songs on the album w their angrier/despairing sociopolitical-commentary rhymes. Feel like things start to pick up and cohere around the midway point w Y Don't You Love Me (lol @ "If I Was Your Girlfriend quote, also lol @ Sun Ra dialogue sample in the opening track for that matter), and then Rockabye Baby and Ring the Alarm really pull things together.

thx. thats good. checking out the album now

tee grizzley has the best album out right now

Haven't listened to the full album, but "First Day Out" is an amazing song, even if it's a stylistic rip-off of "Dreams & Nightmares."
