the rza track is v good. i did not expect this. my other favorite track is the one at the end w/ the weird flanged-out electronic beat

didn't they do drops on the last g-side album? i deleted those immediately.
― am0n corner (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 April 2010 01:04 (fourteen years ago) link
no drops on my version, just an interlude where matthew africa mentions them. never had a problem w those interludes at all, didn't really understand those who did

let's talk about this untamed song

these sound like the imaginary group Kountry Kingz that i dreamed abt this weekend btw recently on ILX Dreams...
yeh i am lovin it

― am0n corner (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 April 2010 01:09 (fourteen years ago) link
it's really all abt flowing over block beataz production & introducing touches of melody with all these guys tho, isn't that fair to say? only like ST 2 lettaz can really spit and een then only lately
― tbrrprint (2) HD (zvookster), Monday, 12 April 2010 01:11 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i pretty much only truly fuck w/ hunstville stuff prod by block beataz -- the songs on the d*plo mixtape are prob still the best stuff that has come out of there -- the bama stuff benefits from being guided by where the production takes them, also generally from lots of diff ppl rapping -- starshipz & rocketz is a totally dope album tho cuz it hits the right mood & does it in a sonically interesting fashion
g-side can write some real good pop stuff tho -- "my aura" esp, "rubber bandz" too & some other stuff

pretty sure anybody who drinks regularly can handle a shot of remy with no chaser, dawg

― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 April 2010 20:58 (fourteen years ago) link
i remain, as ever, irrationally angry about him having a career. like, i'm trying to think of some kind of outrageous gesture of protest to make if he gets a fourth #1 album.
― some dude, Monday, 12 April 2010 21:49 (fourteen years ago) link
he's genuinely become a good if not competent rapper
i thought all the songs on his last album were too long & had too many r&b singers on the hook
but the mafia musics are both incredible for instance
― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 April 2010 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
wtf what is lil b's deal?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-IYSl4I-4I
― m@tt (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 12 April 2010 22:09 (fourteen years ago) link
that's a very loaded question
― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 April 2010 22:10 (fourteen years ago) link
no pun intended
his deal is like when wayne started getting super druggy & stream of conscious & no brain filter, but lil b... barely tries to rap? it's almost more spoken word than anything, with space-age synth beats usually. like, to dig lil b you almost have to have a thing for psychosis (or at least psychology) and rap, the way that people justified the importance or quality of the game's post- g unit albums, or how interest in wayne's persona amplified when it became clear that he was some sort of constantly stoned savant. i dig a lot of lil b right now -- obviously not everything is great but he's incredibly singular and i find him totally fascinating, both because his music really screws with the notion of "rap", both sonically and lyrically and thematically (i.e. constantly comparing himself favorably to women and gays ["i'm a pretty bitch" etc], his god obsession etc)
― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 April 2010 22:17 (fourteen years ago) link
my thing with lil b is that to really dig his songs, i think the production needs to be interesting -- shit like "i'm god" and "insane" work as counterpoints to his rapping style. when he's on normal sounding beats he can drag.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 April 2010 22:18 (fourteen years ago) link
What Lil B would you recommend? These recent yt have been crazy.
reminds me kinda of Scarface's The Diary, although obv. 15 years removed and totes different.

not gonna inundate w/ youtubes but
(the first video isn't the whole song -- there seems to be a 2 min video and a 7 min video, but the song is 5 mins long)

also "hoes suck my dick cuz i look like my father" -- dude is actually kind of fucked up
― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 April 2010 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link
er, HER father
also lil b made a lot more sense to me & became a lot more compelling when i stopped listening to new mp3s and only watched his videos -- visual element is v important imo

That Rawse is actually pretty awesome.

b has an ambient album in the tank too apparently -- it's called "rain in england" -- he posted a song from it today on his youtube channel & it's pretty good
― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 April 2010 22:33 (fourteen years ago) link
the videos are an interesting part of what he does definitely, on that note, i think you'd be doing a disservice to him if you didn't check out the longer vid w/ the full song and the 'secrete' ending of him rapping over the x-men cartoon theme

also i think "somebody tell the ocean i'm the best now/ somebody tell the trees i'm here now" is a line & concept i love so much -- transcending the elements is next-level swagger rap
