otm, tho the shawty lo verse is z_z

shoppin spree is an anthem

new every-rapper-on-earth khaled dangerously close to self-parody

Heard 'swagger like us' off the new ti album last night, i thought it was shite, mainly, and bits of it were just strange. Jay-z kicking off his bit by telling us to buy rocawear jeans instead of skinny ones as you can fit more in the pockets... kanye (in full fucking aUTotUnE mode) going "Naaaaaaaaanaaaaaanaaaaaaooooo how it feel to wake up and be the shit and the urine"... wayne, also AUtoTuNEd up, not saying much at all... none of them were trying, basically. ti comes out much better, but then it's his album so i guess he made the effort.

I suppose just the names on the tracklist will get a few more copies of the album sold, but I hope this isn't meant to be the centrepiece of the record or anything...

haha khaled only "dangerously close" to self parody? i think we've crossed that bridge a few miles back and god bless 'em

yeah T.I. really must've put that track together carefully, then made sure his verse was last & best. Kanye trying to bite Wayne's already-tired fecal matter punchlines now on this and the Khaled record is really one of the most pathetic, annoying things he's ever done.

swagger like us is an amazing, historical let down

the sample is so annoying

is it really, though? there have been so many "omg Jay and Wayne/Kanye and Wayne/Jay and T.I.! oh, this is pretty boring" tracks in the past couple years that I had zero expectations for this. in fact "S.L.U." is probably better than most of those other collabs.

slu is not better than

mr. carter
the jay/tip song from t.i. vs t.i.p.
any kanye produced joint from carter III or its leaks

it is better than
hello brooklyn
jockin jay-z

im curious about the decision to use the tribute band version of 'poppin my collar'

idk it just seems really hastily put together, obv someone made the beat w/ in the last few weeks and no one put any thought into their verses except maybe t.i.. i still think ye sounds pretty cool doing self-important autotune raps but he doesn't drop one hot punchline

id really like to know the thought process behind wayne deciding to use or not use autotune. like, why does he decide to use it here when it brings nothing to the table, but on the new brisco song he drops it and does a really good fast verse

lol MIA sample

lol @ how much better a rapper T.I. is than any of these dudes btw
fuck vibe playoff brackets

on the new brisco song he drops it and does a really good fast verse

I'm not sure if the beat was necessarily done really recently after "Paper Planes" was a hit, there have been guys like Freeway rapping over that beat for a minute now, plus that whole remix with Bun B way back. Kanye's always had this quavery, nervous quality in his voice sometimes, especially when he performs live, and what the autotune does to that sounds just terrible to my ears, especially on the "Lollipop" remix.

I wasn't really including tracks produced by but not featuring Kanye in my points of comparison, I like stuff like "Comfortable" and "Let The Beat Build" a lot. and "Mr. Carter" could almost be decent as a Jay song but as is it's pretty awful.

NEW SOULJA BOY DISS UP!

ADD ME AS A FRIEND! I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

When this gets huge, there's gonna be a lot of internet snickering.

as opposed to what, your small amount of internet snickering right now?

Yeah, that would be the dichotomy.

*snicker*

lol I have been "selected by BET to serve on the exclusive voting academy for the 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards". and this right after I publicly ridiculed Terrence J at an event where we were both invited to speak!

if I vote I'm going to put "btw i'm white" at the bottom of my ballot.

what did you say about him

he was supposed to host a panel (at this half-assed conference where he was like the 'big star'), but had something more important to do and just gave a quick speech and jetted, and since my panel had gotten cancelled they threw me up there to host instead. so I said something to get a quick laugh like "Terrence just got the call from Rocsi that she wants to reconcile, so he's on the first Chinatown bus back to New York."

not that it's gangsta to throw a guy like that under the bus, but i was kinda disappointed he left so quick he didn't even get to hear me say it.

AP: Grand Buffet picks up 6 BET Awards

i'm nominating Styles P. "Blow Your Mind" for best hip hop video just off the strength of "it's me witches"
