listen to coke wave number none

coke wave is classic & near perfect imo
― D-40, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 07:07 (thirteen years ago) link
its one of my favourite albums of all time

wtf happened to zvookster? he was annoying itt
― D-40, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 07:37 (thirteen years ago) link
the big zvookster post is the best in the entire thread fyi esp this
i think noz realized he was doing something unique in NY with his relationship to melody, sort of like a less embarrassed, less cynical 50. 50 often sounds like he's too gangster to really try to sing, so he'll just indicate melody enough to get it across or condescend to make it commercial. with max b his woozy relationship with melody is inherent in every track, inherent to who he is & what he's doing on the track
― flopson, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 07:39 (thirteen years ago) link
i dont think he quite has it there, altho i agree that max has a unique take on melody -- its a starting ptbut i dont want to give it away 4 free if u get my meaning :D
― D-40, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 07:41 (thirteen years ago) link
also all his other posts were distracting/annoying
... this stuff is kind of perfect to me, blend of really melodic ear & lyrical rapping, matter-of-fact real talk and a reggae-style inclination for reversioning classic pop jams ("do for love" "I want you" even effin "Englishman in new york"). dame grease's production is extroverted pop ish but with a real dilapidated feel, appropriate for post-golden era new york.
this is really great
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 April 2011 07:44 (thirteen years ago) link
just fwiw
ya definitely. dilapidated is perfect & so true, think of it especially on beats like 'goon music' or ones that sound like low-bitrate g unit beats

ive had that fucking 'wa-deedee dah dee dayyy' thread stuck in my head for days now
― D-40, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 08:05 (thirteen years ago) link
*melody* not thread lol
it's kinda weird that max slipped thru the cracks critically, being a dipset affiliate who isn't that far off of wayne's druggy, crooning prolific mixtape period
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 April 2011 08:12 (thirteen years ago) link
is raps arent obviously 'clever' so ppl who jumped on the wayne thing might be at a loss
― D-40, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 12:57 (thirteen years ago) link
im not really surprised by the lack of critical attention at all... hes a grassroots artist & critics are notoriously terrible at catching onto this stuff
― D-40, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 12:58 (thirteen years ago) link
only max can do this shit

noz's bedroom rap feature in the wire is a nice way to let me know of rap acts never to check for
― D-40, Thursday, 14 April 2011 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
yo you should check out that shady blaze i linked to in gun sounds -- the guy is from main attrakionz (who i've never heard) but there's no way that you wouldn't dig it -- maybe it's a little too unpolished for you tastes but it's basically contemplative doubletime trae raps with some r&b doubletime twista raps
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 14 April 2011 20:03 (thirteen years ago) link
ill check it out
you know who's a solid rapper? french montana
of course then he went & pulled an oj the juiceman on me & released that terrible mix cd w/ lex luger beats real & fake
― D-40, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
I have now listened to both Coke Wave and the new album. I also like French Montana, hadn't heard anything of his before apart from that single with Curren$y from last year. Anyway i really like this stuff, but i always enjoy a rapper who's not afraid to indulge in some semi-amateurish crooning so it definitely ticks that box.
― Number None, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link
french montana is so goofy & sometimes comes in awkwardly but it's true he's surprisingly solid & really grows on u
nigga get wit her or get rolled overon the grind can't get a day soberbreaks over, goon music takeovercocaine in a coke wave makeoveri done seen real niggas foldover
― flopson, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:39 (thirteen years ago) link
feel like french handles his big awkward cadence well, always kind of towers over beats rather than riding them or adapting his flow to them
― flopson, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
btw i love meeno

his performance on that is great -- it def has this feel of almost going off the rails, it's almost like he recorded the song in a car that was going 90 mph on a freeway
