letz talk abt gucci mane

LIL WAYNE TO THREAD (tho I do really like Carter I-III but c'mon dude gets away with murder)

a recent Washington Post Chris Richards review of a Gucci latenight show --

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/clicktrack/2010/08/it_actually_happened_gucci_man.html

i'm wary of rap concerts for that reason. sometimes it comes across as karaoke.

The ATCQ reunion show I saw in 2006 was free of that, as they were all inspired. I'd prefer to see any rap concert in clubs too -- doesn't translate to arenas and stuff well at all

now that I said "karaoke" I half expect DJ Khaled to appear in this thread and start hollering

LIL WAYNE TO THREAD (tho I do really like Carter I-III but c'mon dude gets away with murder)

weird, i still associate wayne with the "hated on as a bad of honor" crowd. it took a loooong time for people to give up the "lil wayne killed hip-hop" posturing, and some still haven't

I still love Wayne for his cumulative output

back to the trap house is mostly way good -- probably being underrated here -- its def not as much fun wordplay-wise as his more recent stuff but its around that time (& the preceeding 'no pad no pencil' & chicken talk mixtapes) where he really solidified as an all-around character. compared to the mixtapes, prob not as good, but the mixdown is really high quality & there are tons of classics -- & imo 'i might be' is better than the jackie chain song

thx. I likedi t on first listen but need more time. just got the latest mixtape he dropped from ITunes, but alas out of time to play.

i mean, listen to 'i move chickens' & 'pillz' ('i might be' is an inferior version - the game, really??) & 'bird flu' & '16 fever' & 'i know why' -- all basically classics

imo 'no pad no pencil' 'chicken talk' & back to the traphouse are of a piece

the so icey boy mixtapes (vols 1 & 2) & the zone 6 to duval mixtape that came out right around then are also A+

i cant believe how many of his mixtapes ive heard lol

"i know why" is also amazing

evidence of gucci mane entering the collective subconscious

Philip Markoff was found unresponsive in his Boston, Massachusetts, jail cell at 10:17 a.m.

C'MON SON

ok... i have no idea of the significance of that post at all

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1017_Brick_Squad

oh. i'm sure other things have happened at 10:17 and it's not really worth pointing out

damn, way to board lawyer a totally jokey post

if ilx was rid of things not worth pointing out there would be like 4 posts a day

make funnier jokes, amirite

know something about rap music, amirite

The hooks and beats on the best bits of Back to the Traphouse ("I Move Chickens", "Bird Flu", "I Might Be", "I Know Why", "Ballers") are so great that I really don't miss the wordplay.

& there is still wordplay there, a lot of it really funny. its just not as dense or ... systematic, as his later stuff

like, its def more (as the title suggests -- no pad no pencil) off the top of the head, but still brimming w/ personality & funny lines

when

now

so far the only song I really like a lot from the Jewelry Selection leaks is "Makin Love to the Money"

i'm not getting my hopes up for it

oh "makin love to the money" is already on Mr. Zone 6 isnt it

whatever

this one actually sounds pretty good. crazy beat

i don't think any of those are jewelry selection leaks

what jewelry selection leaks have there been?

WHERE IS IT

haha ok i see from livemixtapes it's dropping in 2 hours 32 minutes and 24 seconds

yes i am a rap fan in 2010

loooool

pretty impressive that googling 'jewelery selection' w/out quotes brings you to a gucci tape first instead of an actual jewelery store.

gucci time is kinda annoying to me still

ok i'm going to sleep. if j0rdan hasn't liveblogged this by the time i wake up i'm going to be v. disappointed

sorry i mean i'm going to skreep

what jewelry selection leaks have there been?
