THAT'S LIGHTWEIGHT JAMMIN'

D-Lo is crazy to me. Like Lil B/ Waka style naiveté and energy and presence. Same thing can be said about him as far as ability but if anyone doubts his ability to carry a song proper check "It Won't Be Long".

After that new track above I can't even imagine what he and dj fresh are gonna make this hear. All the other dudes in that stable are just boring compared to him. So underrated

yeah i agree about d-lo he also bodied Husalah & keak on this

have converted to the church of husalah but (and this might be a challop to like the two other ilxors who have actually heard the album) i prefer his more recent stuff to huslin since da 80's. which is a cool album but i think his personality/voice is more fully formed & unique now. also more energetic and with better ad libs. find he sounds like ghostface on a lot of huslin whereas his verses on mob trial or lwj are unmistakably him. either definitely one of the best rappers out, the only of these nu-bay dudes i fully f/w

either way,

this album came out in 1999

there's nothing "nu" about husalah. i think we were using nu-bay to refer to like livewire/dj fresh affiliated 20-somethings

mob trial is older than 80s

i think 'nu bay' still applies bcuz these dudes are only popular post-hyphy & its a much diff movement that livewire dudes are more indebted to mob figaz than e.g. e-40

also imo he sounds pretty much the same on recent shit as he did on 80s

also as far as the ghostface comparison, while his voice has the same tenor as ghost's, his raps sound nothing like his -- lyrically/flow-wise he's much closer to raekwon, or like kurupt, chewing his way through each verse. (i stole that particular turn of phrase from jayson green). & he feels like a lot more of a loose cannon relative to ghost

meant this mob trial btw, which is still old as fuck

i wonder why i thought it was more recent? i think i saw lex recommending it & must've figured

anyways i like hustlin i really do, but i do think there is a significant difference b/w that and his verse on lw j in terms of energy, voice. despite being recognizably the same rapper, idk it seems to me he's doing new things. i should get furly ghost & test out this theory

imo he there are intermittent moments where he sounds exactly like ghostface on 80s, voice & accent-wise at least. but ya obviously there are huge differences flow-wise, though i don't really see much of a connection to kurupt or raekwon, & would be interested in hear you elaborate more on that actually. imo the husalah innovation is finding amazing ways to break meter & a total disregard for traditional rythmic continuity line-to-line. just totally unpredictable but fun as hell to listen to and somehow catchy real catchy

yeah i mean rhythmically he works in a really unpredictable BUT extremely rhythmic manner -- i think this is important -- its like his patterns are unexpected, but hes not going off-beat or anything. and the way rhyming syllables show up in unpredictable patterns too

but what makes me think of rae/kurupt is the brutality of his flow, the way its intentionally chopping into the beat or something ... those two are both highly rhythmic, confrontational rappers who hit the groove face-forward, where dudes like jacka or curren$y sorta slide around on top or against the grain of the rhythm above the groove

its like jacka floats, husalah dives in & fights w/ the current

amen

so sad that Pfork feels the need to review the latest Pimp C cash-in comp but only has ONE E-40 review in their archive (for My Ghetto Report Card. wtf)

was kinda my fault i didnt push for it hard enough

I'M SO ME'D OUT

what's water and Carl anyway

Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. Its molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at ambient conditions, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state, water vapor or steam.

Carl is a popular given name as well as the name of various places. The most popular male variations are Karl, Charles; the popularity stems from the long lines of historical nobility using these names. There also exist many female variations such as Charlotte and Carla. Carlos and Carla rank as 3rd most popular names in many Spanish-speaking countries.

u shut up

lol

(I don't know this one in particular - I mean, "water" could be referring to himself as it's one of his nicknames, but 40-water itself is, duh, 40 of malt liquor)

Water = E-40 Water Fonzarelli

Carl = Clyde Carson

the water I sorta guessed, just can't figure the Carl part. whatever, I guess that's just part of lightweight jammin

"Niggas don't really know that I got my name from drinkin' beer"

my guess would be Carl is one of the other rappers on the song (Clyde Carson)...?

lol many x-posts

i'm secretly a little bit proud to be the first person on ILX to single out the goodness of Lightweight Jammin'

i got thrown off the scent cuz the nation of thizzlam dudes were hating on it!! crazy

I discovered that when you put this on repeat it's impossible to tell when it loops back around
