rolling regional thug thread 2012

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

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?

this is the most brutal takedown

What's wrong with Poison?

haha i know right.

ship doesn't fuck with poison :(

I think he also compares well to Creed - rock for when you sort of can't tell the difference between Jimi Hendrix and Pat Travers

quick, what's aero's next "majorly respected dude vs. majorly unrespected dude" dichotomy

Whiney vs. Brad Nelson

Whitney Houston vs Gunnar Nelson

Hansen vs. Gunnar Hansen

creed owns

I feel sick

lmao @ jordan nitpicking. stalley is fine on his tracks, and i think that guy is pretty boring. i don't know what krit would really do better. he'd be more distracting, probably

went back and listened to teflon don today, i still don't think it's that great a record outside of the (obviously awesome) couple of singles. IMO this is a better record

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.

agree with this but i think theres a bit more to it than bangers over everything, imo the raekwonesque namedropping of luxury products over string samples is a crucial counterpart to the relentless bangers. also theres a humour to his epic imagery that carries the bangers by not having the tone be too bleak or monochromatic, which at its worst is confounding ("bitch i got 8 balls") and at its best absurd hyperbole ("talkin to the holy ghost/in my buggati")

apparently she's from harlem! who knew

um, everyone, considering how she named her track "212"

flopson i don't mean bangers as in literal like lex luger beats, i just mean dope rap tracks overcoming everyone's collective unwillingness to take him seriously

agree with that obviously

apparently she's from harlem! who knew

okay but then why does she rap the entire thing with a british accent?

it does kinda sound like it could be a sarcastic 'lol i'm repping noo yawk bruv' thing the way she delivers it

i don't know, but any of y'all that heard her make repeated references to new york ("212", "two-one-zoo", "uptown A") and thought she was british are straight retards, sorry

none of those code as new york to me, idk

anyway she sucks who cares

haha none of those "code" as new york to me, says kevin k about the song being titled after manhattan's area code

k3v have you ever been to new york
