rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

whiney was telling me it was awesome.

like there will always be good stuff to dig on and shit, but i dunno...it seems like from a cultural level, economic level, internet level, there's just too much shit working against it now to really think the future could hold something that really felt huge or like a movement you know?

has your favorite stuff been a huge movement since, like, biggie? i dont think mine has, & im way more predisposed to like pop rap than most rap nerds. i mean when dungeon fan was incredible its not like they were considered the best. or outkast. same w/ UGK, they only really hit critical mass after their career was on a downward arc

i wouldnt say rap's best days are ahead of it, but i wouldnt say its in bad shape or anything either. my impression is there's a beginning of a new cycle happening right now, a lot of new names & its sorta like critics are picking horses to bet on or something

well...tru dat i guess.

umm...i really like outkast stankonia and speakerboxx/a love below (though not as much for the sub prince shit)...and that seemed like they were close to the top of their game...maybe not THE top of their game as far as like atliens/aquemini era but at least on the top of the game they wanted to play at the time

around the middle of this decade though, even though it wasn't necessarily totally my style...i'd have to say that T.I., Ludacris, and atlanta in general seemed to be A) a big movement and B) on top of their game...esp. T.I.

actually I really love the first two Eminem records a lot. so that.

+ a dynasty/blueprint

could even the most rosy eyed yung G make any kind of rational argument that rap's best days are ahead of it and not behind it?

cuz i don't think you could.

you know, lately I was thinking to myself that what's so dope about rap right now is that it's mostly really low stakes. there isn't a lot of pressure on rappers to be everything to everybody, so they're all really free to cultivate their own little signature styles without feeling like they have to recoup some huge amount of money that no longer exists

this is a good way of looking at it....actually it's kinda the way i've always felt about all my lil' nobody punky midwest noisy bands and shit...

so....rap is the new indie rock...or hopefully the old indie rock

so i just realized

was "i'm a j" the first jerk track before jerk existed?

i wish lil jon would put out an EP of all those awesome songs he's released that arent gonna make it to Crunk Rock

it's called "The Internet"

dumb title IMO

Prospective Forksclovetofu 2010 Pazz & Jop ballot

ahaha this is fantastic!!!

where's h3lgeson

lmao this chorus
"i just want to
put you in my closet
or put you in my ... hey
or put you in my coffin
or put you in the bathtub
bleedin under the faucet
or put you in the trash can
leave you unconscious."

also j0rdan pointed out his upcoming album is called dinner & a movie lololol

i had no idea brotha lynch hung was still around! good to see he's still down with the siccness.

maaaaaaan. Kurupt...that's some old hardcore ish right there. noice.

yeah that kurupt is fire

That Kurupt is old, then?

The "Against the Grain" cover art on the YouTube video just confused me, is all. This certainly SOUNDS like new Kurupt.

yah it's an outtake from terrace martin's album coming soon

The saxophonist dude?

loool yes,i guess, but he also has hip hop production credits. the kurupt being described as an outtake seems more like bad taste than a good sign, frankly.

man this kurupt is so good -_-

playboy, no ifs, ands or maybes
stop it
pair of topics: rip your arms out they sockets
two to the chin and head straight for your pockets

you in the place where they'll take care of yaaaa
surgery they couldn't do in americaaaa

Yeah, the Kurupt is really, really great. I need an mp3 of this, pronto. Kurupt's been on fire the last year or two. I'm sure you guys have heard "Yessir," which Pete Rock produced. That's another stand-out Kurupt track from the last two years or so.

if only I could listen :(

lil b & soulja boy get really really high & record a song

soulja boy is going in odd directions in gen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRU3eN5ZHzw&feature=player_embedded

i would anticipate lil b and soulja boy getting really high and making an album provided there weren't tons of verses by randoms

second song is esp dope

was kinda hoping that would be a soulja cover of drake/wayne

has lil b released anything aside the pack and loose mp3s?

yeah i'm thraxx & 6 kiss are on itunes & amazon, and noz at cocaineblunts has put up a couple of collections of mp3s for download .

would love soulja boy to become like all weird and difficult and crazy.

he's been making songs like that for like a year or so now

yeah but i mean is that his radio and mtv image or just mixtape tracks?
