rolling regional thug thread 2012

nice that u keep track xp

all this arguing got me pent up. i'm gonna stab my stuffed teddy bear in the dick now.

you see there's this thing called 'search' xpost

like no one else on ilx posts about artists they dislike smh

i had a huge argument w/ people about the azealia track already & my criticisms included her rap style so idk what your problem is. she's only been brought up here b/c you tried to tell me she was better than rick ross which, lol

sadly i did not read that argument

not sadly for me

i dont really want to talk about her now tbh. I just wanted to talk about how dope the new ross is

Don't we have a rolling dumb neon bloghouse thread to discuss Alzjsjsbd Bank

I can't wait for 212 to make top 5 on the tracks poll

that song sucks, legit thought she was british the first time i heard it

Otm

imo neanderthal should change his dn to "unattractive on the inside"

like this is basically the best thing i've read about azealia pro or anti

http://theremixbaby.tumblr.com/post/13146055905/thesinglesjukebox-azealia-banks-212-9-10

and if you're gonna be anti that's what you have to refute

ok...

"she raps like a classically trained actor might, and that’s a very good thing."

change to:

"that's a very bad thing."

the nas verse on the ross tape is his best (that i've heard) for ages

very glad I was out hanging with La Chat last night instead of taking part in you guys' stupid ass argument about Ross.

i'm having a post argument mimosa

ruh

lmao

i was at some amateur improv last night so i can't say that i'm happy that i wasn't having a stupid argument about rick ross but smh nonetheless

im just listening to this now

"high definition" beat is hot as hell

40 by my dick i keep pissing on the hammer
when they talkin slick i double back like that banana

lol

2 chainz' verse on "fuck em" is a very 2 chainzy masterpiece

i really do not like john legend

thread got awesome, would c&p and otm every aero post

i honestly feel like there has never been a rapper as popular (at least a 'cool street rap guy' type star) as Rick Ross has never and will be really worshiped or respected by anybody, occasionally surprises people (i'll give him props for "Mafia Music") but doesn't really ever inspire awe or, like lex said, make songs anywhere approaching,say, "What You Know." like his whole career is just the culmination of rap fans' desire at the moment to a) rally around someone when he's 'hot' whoever it is b) prove they don't care that much about 'street cred' by embracing a hilarious fraud and c) enjoy the increasingly Wesley Willis-like comedy of listening to this fat moron talk about crab meats.

i royally fucked up the beginning of that, should read:

i honestly feel like there has never been a rapper as popular (at least a 'cool street rap guy' type star) as Rick Ross that has never and never will be really worshiped or respected by anybody etc.

Rick Ross fandom is the most baffling thing in the world to me. Who knew that hip-hop was yearning for its own version of Poison?

haha i know right. i have a hard time imagining even like the most clueless middle school kid genuinely LOVING rick ross and his music the way you know millions feel or have felt about wayne or tip or jay etc. ross reaching this level of success as kind of a genial collaborates with everybody isn't better than any of them jolly fat man figure just cements how cynical this whole era of rap is.

dude if the success of khaled didn't already tip you off to that

ross staying in the dj khaled posse cut rotation for 5 years straight until he was actually as popular as everyone else on those songs is very similar to the 'this week's frontrunner: herman cain/rick santorum/etc.' GOP race.

Can never be posted enough

AND THAT WHUP CREAM IS ON YER FACE AND EVEN HITS YER NOSE
YOU DON'T EVEN GET MAD
YOU DON'T EVEN WIPE IT OFF
CAUSE YOU IMMEDIATELY GO BACK IN
FOR MORE HOT CHOCKLET

the triumph of ross as bangers over everything is a-ok by me

btw this song w/ kelly rowland where she sings about mind games should not actually be called "mine games" right?

when i saw that on the tracklist i was really hoping that it was a song about diamond trafficking and not a mistagged mp3, but oh well

You don't have to play mine games
Just tell what's yours is mine

Pretty dumb but i think it is meant to be "mine"

big krit or currensy should've been on "party heart" instead of stalley

french's hook on "stay schemin" is so dope

^^

i agree that rick ross is never inspiring and yes it's true that he is filling a void but i'm not ashamed of enjoying mainstream rap albums with brilliant guest features and hot production. i just like the void he is filling idk

y'all sound very disconnected imo

people love ross in deez streetz

stay schemin should be a hit

ILM selfmade
aerolexdude just affiliated

I'm not a Ross stan by any stretch but it seems t o me his appeal is fairly straightforward, no? He has a moderately compelling character, sounds badass and picks great beats. Good guests and fairly consistant albums just add to it. Sure he's no lyrical genius, but he's good enough to create michael bay-esque picture of his lifestyle.

He's also come a long way from

"I'm fronting money
My money is right in front of me"

Still delivers a groaner now and then but far less than in his early days

he doesn't need to deliver groaners because he is a groaner

I don't see what his bedroom mannerisms have to do with anything

this is the most brutal takedown

What's wrong with Poison?
