rolling regional thug thread 2012

I'm sure i listened to Flight Risk but i'll be damned if i can remember a thing about it

lol me neither. listened to too much last year.

just know I liked it.

Yeah, Flight Risk was dope. But his stuff by nature is pretty effortlessly cool and understated... better than the sum of its parts thing.

there was one track I really loved on it and I can't for the life of me remember it. think it was the 4th track and came from a prior mixtape?

Game is great on "Imma King." He and Jacka are a great pairing.

Seriously, this might be might favourite rap track of the year so far.

new gucci is dope

this is good. flight risk was aite. felt kind of slight. 'tear gas' and 'street album' were definitely huge event records by comparison. apparently it was unofficial. jacka tweeted recently about how he was just hearing it for the first time? maybe he was fronting though.

"Imma King" stood out for me too

Its "I'm The King (remix)" and it came out on Game's "Purp and Patron" mixtape from last year and it was also on my year end list

i listened to rich forever today and really wanted to like it, but ross just doesn't have enough ideas or flows for a 20-song mixtape. there are a few joints but it's really a slog to get through imo - the worst parts are the "BMF" knockoffs with second-rate beats like the opener, "holy ghost"; it's like, dude, no one dug "BMF" for your flow, come on

terrible post

we totally like BMF for his flow. His phrases become mantras

BIG MEECH. LARRY HOOVER.

no one else could pull that off

"King of Diamonds" is a total BMF track & it's an easy tape highlight.

SOMEBODY CALL THE BRINKS TRUCK

I've had the B.M.F. chorus stuck in the back of my head for like the last 7 MONTHS. i hear it in the back of my mind like at least once an hour.

i love Rich Forever. been spinning it in my car all week.

You're right. I knew it sounded familiar. They cut the Mista FAB verse, though, which I miss.

ah yes, i knew it sounded familiar. Heard in on your 2011 comp

lol

i'm just not seeing that he's improved enough to carry a project that big. i'm fine with living my life as if ross isn't some rap star i have to listen to for 20 songs in a row

come on listen to that first track and tell me you're not like stooooooop

deej's post reminded me of Janitor from Scrubs saying "terrible job" to the dude doing the wedding ceremony

i don't hate the mixtape or anything, like i've said i dig ross generally, he just is who he is to me. i don't see how this is any better than the better half of deeper than rap

the first track isn't really lyrical mastery, he repeats phrases over and over and rhymes words with the same words, but it's still a dope sounding track, and I like his lyrics on the tracks after that.

"Fuck 'Em" is my fav atm.

there are def a few "BMF" style tracks that could be cut, but the album still totally bangs

the two tracks w/ diddy are basically the least essential, but if you don't fuck with "high definition" and "mmg untouchable" and "yella diamonds" and "fuck em" and "last breath" and "king of diamonds" then idk what to tell you

you may have to stop listening to new rap music, cuz that's basically as good as new street rap in 2012 can sound imo

anyway deej i listened to LA state of mind today too and that >>> the ross. production on that is bonkers

High Definition is soooooooo great.

that a-mafia song deej posted a week ago slays any song on rich forever. if i want street rap i'll find a guy who's held a gun without holding a badge

the hook on that gucci song is great, too bad about future's verse tho

hahahahahahahahaha, okay eskay

guess Ice T is out

if there's anyone that fiends for the absolute realest of street rap, it's white kids that go to college in connecticut

ha come on dude chill it was a cheap joke not some yells at cloud appeal for authenticity

point stands tho that i'm willing to guess that 2012 will have better street rap to offer than ross

probably from someone on MMG with him

so all i have listened to this weekend is that future song

i think about 100 times

that rhymes with "peak spill"

xpost

i wish lil b has a verse on 'yella diamonds'

loved the production on "yella diamonds"

so going back to Live from the Kitchen, I think this is really good as far as it isn't watered down like many other street-mixtape-artist major label debuts have been. I do think it's not a patch on any of his mixtapes, though (especially CM2 or CM6), in that lyrically it's less focused and more laid back, but there's a lot of hard-assed tracks on it. Plus hell, I still love his voice...him and Jeezy.

still tho....still enjoying it many listens later.

really want more rappers to record love songs in 2012

everytime I think of rap love songs I think of Tasty Taste's 'love' song from Fear of a Black Hat

i unconditionally love future now :-/

well that E-40 is brilliant. Had to rewind his verse

new jacka is really pleasant, but much like 'indictment' isn't really leaving a huge impression. he just doesn't sound as hungry as the jack artist through tear gas period. that was an insane run

i have trouble coming up w/ things to complain about w/ it, so it's not like its actively bad, just v sorta laid back smoke-y resignation or something

the gucci verse on the future tape is really good

i got more blocks than mutumbo
two hoes who look like j. lo in my condo
shawty my accountant cuz i need some help to count it
took that rrari out and went and mount it first day out the county

"deeper than the ocean" off this tape is really awesome

so Tear Gas was good then? the local FYE has that. Not like I don't already have way too much music to listen to, but I am going on a flight tomorrow so....
