rolling ringtone thread 2008

hmm im guessing i heard this crookers remix @ some 2am intoxicated adventures -- pretty good track

the original i mean, this remix is balls

i swear none of the dudes that make these remixes actually dance

who listens to remixes of kid cudi songs

not accusing - just saying

that crookers remix is garbage i'd rather listen to justice

same ppl who listen to crookers remixes of whatever the fuck else - its blog/bmore bullshit that gets tons of club play now

that's why i stay home and play mario kart on the weekends

the internet has ruined the remix right? i feel like everyone has a crookers remix nowadays. how the hell am i supposed to care

its weird none of this shit seems particularly fun to dance to -- im used to old-ilx-style debates about dance music where everybody talks in reductive terms about a black-white polarity between funkless trance and groovin disco-house or whatever, and although i reject the simple and wrongheaded binary opposition there i have to admit it has sorta subconsciously informed the way i look at a lot of dance, even if in the most general, so-many-exceptions-to-the-rule terms.

this stuff though has really done a service to this sort of offensive race-informed discourse by removing it -- so many shitty djs of all races in this scene, and it is a genuinely diverse scene .... and sometimes it'll have good ideas and sometimes it will have shitty ones, but the worst is this BMORE BREAK x BORING GRATING SYNTH MELODY thing. and this isnt some lol im old bullshit i dont think -- this feels different, like i 'get' whats fun to dance to when listening to a bmore mix, i 'get' house music (obviously) but this stuff seems sheerly irritating when its all thrown together, like there's no vibe, no attempt to really make anything happen, just to signify 'progress' by with this cobbled together frankenstein dance music

that said this kid cudi track (the original) is dope and deserves a really banging dance remix -- which this crookers version is not

no fucking clue why im talking about this on the ringtone thread but i blame 808s and heartbreak

i blame preview of the matrix 12

to be honest i always thought that real hard ravey shit like crookers was made to be purposefully grating and antagonistic - like "try dancing to this" but in an asshole way

i mean i don't see how you physically could do it. i thought this was inherent

Listening to it, it's not great, but I wouldn't not dance to it. It's hardly at the extreme end of the noise-synth house trend.

Seems like it's taking its cues from bassline as much as bmore or Justice

arab money video is kind of hilarious - i approve of shawty lo and ace hood sheepishly dancing

The original is dope though

xp

wtf is 'crookers' and why u guys gotta further the idea of 'bmore' as some abstract concept that wack dudes anywhere can just co-opt with a fast breakbeat

yeah seriously those who co-opt it correctly know to call it Club Music

and obviously the blame rests solely in the hands of the BLAWGZ

more on topic, i love Emeritus

yeah i'm looking forward to buying that probably today. is it pretty similiar to Made or a whole different deal?

it's MADE Part II

ha just saw that noz made the same observation...i feel less smart

who the fuck is Wacko and why is he so awesome

Wacko is from Juvenile's group UTP. first verse of "Nolia Clap," man!

nice. i've never really check for utp

DEEJ!

what is that video you posted? i don't know that dude.

love the track though, some real murder shit....the whole track and video reminds me of like an MC Ren solo album song or something. sweet shit.

so disappointed the "COMMUNITY EXCLUSIVE!: Ron Browz - Jumping Out The Window" in my inbox an mp3 and not a newsflash

M@tt that's Trae

cool what's a good place to start for him?

Restless

yah m@tt restless is a good place to start. he's in ABN as well

OFFICIAL SONG DANCES are getting ever shittier. Still don't know if I like the tune.

i like the tune but its ignorant as fuck -- song has been stuck in my head 4ever and its the kind of goofy bullshit that busta needed, none of that self-mythologizing Dr Dre assist bullshit & drug talk

Busta Rhymes as ambassador for stony faced "stop snitching" mid 00s thuggin' has to be the worst career move of the past decade in terms of quality drop off.

ron browz is a good thing for rap right now anyway, interesting and identifiable approach i think

this prodigy 'product of the 80s' album is kinda cool, i dig the production vibe he went for -- honestly id rather hear big twins half the time tho, and whats with no alchemist on this? the more a joint sounds like that classic alchemist/big twins track the more im gonna like it

the cover is bonkers

^^^^its a cool record for bringing back this vibe

esp because he was going around beating up random nyers like a true asshole

ya i agree with this - even though they are just autotune r&b jams they are obviously coming from someone w/ ideas and someone who has though about an aesthetic.

speaking of Alchemist, the track with Jada, Pusha and Snoop is Crazy.

seriously one of the sickest tracks/videos ive seen in so long. i wish everything sounded like this

I don't really care about the "Arab Money" controversy (although the 'politically correct' remix is cute), but man I just hate the beat, why do NYC cats only get on the radio with these awful wheezy synth beats like this and "We Fly High" anymore?

BAD SANTA IS A GOOD CD

whoever does the singrapping on "All The Things I Want" is really dope. it's either Sen or Noe
