ddm = gay rapper from baltimore. formerly known as midas, iirc.

2nd young thug song is ok, kinda sounds like nu weezy

haiti slang is so terrible guys

its supposed to be weird

"haiti slang" is so dope

it's like 08 weezy doing "gossip folks"

eeeeeeeeee i'm a ride it like a kawasaki bike

for whatever reason I don't love Ka. I guess its good it just seems sort of emptily theatrical to me or something, like his voice doesnt have convincing gravitas or something idk

new Tree single

that's cool... dude is a pretty great producer

i assume that's a teaser or something?

nah its just a really short song lol

cant wait for this to leak

it's like 08 weezy doing "gossip folks"

more like '10 weezy doing asap rocky

WHERE is "gossip folks" in "haiti slang"? you are all either stoned off your faces or insane or trolling. it's not weird it's TERRIBLE

the mixtape only barely improved from there

WHERE is "gossip folks" in "haiti slang"?

that it's mostly young thug singing gibberish?

not all gibberish is the same

i quite like ka

lol lex wtf does 'doing asap rocky' even mean, here? wtf does he do that sounds or even signifies anything remotely asap rocky-ish

when i think of "gossip folks" i think of the awesome beat, missy impersonating a screeching car and switching her voice up, and the child dancers in the video, way before anything that is in "haiti slang"

he mumbles aimlessly and cannot rap, like asap rocky

yeah i don't get the asap rocky thing at all

oh wow this second ka track is gonna make me BUY the album off itunes - love those creepy chimes, his voice is like a non-southern trae

i'd refine my criticism more but that would mean listening to young thug again

the first comparison pt i thought of w/ haiti slang was gucci's "ima star"

fwiw 'haiti slang' is obviously a curveball on the record & not representative of the sound he usually has

the mixtape is really reminiscent of wayne in between carter II and carter III, but if someone actually set out to replicate the innate weirdness of that era instead of just being like "gotta get me that autotune!" which is fair or unfair is part of wayne's legacy

i can't even. it's unlistenably bad.

i really loved the killer mike track posted upthread though!

id say hes less lyrical than that era of wayne but he does also seem to have PRESENCE which is a promising sign imo

yeah it's def that era of wayne mixed with non-lyrical fruity swag pioneers

i love lady leshurr's new mixtape. first collabs with US producers

oh shit this makes sense:

Friend and associate of ex-UN member and NY heavyweight Roc Marciano, this year will also see the release of the highly anticipated Metal Clergy (KA and Roc Marciano) album

hel-lo!!

lex i didn't know you were into NYC throwback rap

i like the little i've heard of roc marciano, it doesn't happen my way that often i guess

This is right on.

honestly too the track is amazing, a real interesting way to flip a classic NYC production style, it's almost like the producer just started making the first bar of a beat and then decided to leave it, and the minimalism makes it sound so spooky and new even though the actual sample and drums are pretty trad in and of themselves

producer = Ka

kudos 2 ka!

NEW CADENCE WEAPON. Produced by Grimes. I'm actually kinda eh about the track. Good rapping from Rollie and nice beat, but "I wish it was 1988" tracks aren't really my thing. Although this feels simultaneously retro and very modern. You wouldn't hear rapping like this in 88 outside of the God himself.

Yeah, listening to it more, I can't stand for much of this track lyrically, but it sounds good.

lmao @ fruity swag pioneers

'haiti slang' is so gucci..don't get the hate

been listening to 'nigganati' a bit.p goony and mostly quite boring. 'cops on the block' is the obvious highlight.

not really feeling 'astronaut status' which i'm sad about. really want future to push himself in a more pop direction.

struggling with 'trap back' a bit too but 'walking lick' is fucking CLASSIC

I think Astronaut Status is great. What do you think it is about it that you're not feeling? (The Q also applies to Trap Back.)

i'm not interested in any of this stuff \(o_O)/

besides Tree. I fuck with Tree.

this tooooooootally could've been on the rich kidz tape

http://www.thefader.com/2012/02/21/travis-porter-f-skooly-and-jose-guapo-all-about-a-sack-mp3/

Trap Back is pretty great i think. Mike Will can basically do no wrong at this point

ok i'm listening to "i cam from nothing" and i love this. "haiti slang" wasnt a good introduction imo

yeah it's def an outlier track, still dope tho IMO

the 1st or 2nd one? 2nd is >>>> imo

anyone heard the new prodigy tape yet

i dunno whatever is linked upthread

xpost

it certainly says more about me than it does prodigy that i'm most excited about french montana being on like 1/4 of the tracks

Anyone heard the Juvenile tape? Was pretty excited cos I loved 'Power' from the end of last year, but back to back tracks with large chunks of Fugees 'Ready Or Not', Anita Baker 'Sweet Love' and Berlin 'Take My Breath Away' chased me screaming from my computer tbh

This Ka album is great. The production is especially gorgeous. Loving "Every..."

I kind of dig the new Cadence Weapon track but I really just wish there was something a bit more like Afterparty Babies which was a great album.

Or some of the grimier stuff off of Breaking Kayfabe

trap back is pretty great imo, mike will is incredible, he manages to use the trap sound template, add subtle details & make it his own sound.
