rolling regional thug thread 2012

purple swag wasnt really good either tbr

It had a cool beat

curious what ppl think of this. i kind of love the contrast b/w fatz's total dead-eyed flow & the lushness of the production, its a good contradiction

2nd verse is not my thing tho

really like a lot of the songs on this new Kevin Gates CD

its hard to believe YMCMB is putting out stuff like this.

Gonna get that Gates lp for sure.

digital underground f. j. stalin

"its getting hot in herre ... so take off all your nose"

XD

man when's the j stalin record coming out? seem's like it's forever delayed.

he just put "the body snatchers" out last month, it's pretty good.

thanks i must have missed that. there's the collaboration album with l-jay too but i didn't think much of it.

haven't heard that one

i think i'm falling out of love w/hip hop

you're just not digging pistachio. there's a lotta other flavors

it's alright, just crammed with really average sex raps. it's weirdly nothing like its artwork.

yeah i dunno :/

just nothing's really grabbing me lately. i listened to rolling stoned by smoke dza today that was pretty good.

did you hear that marching band track i posted on the no more drama thread? seemed like you'd dig it.

haha radiohead chant at the beginning

that's cool, i like guilty a lot

cool breeze did some marching band stuff that was cool iirc

i've been on a count bass d kick just lately; you a fan? he came up from my college town right when i was paying more attention to hip hop.

kinda makes me sad that this approach led to record deals for cudi but what're you gonna do

yeah when count bass d's first album came out with t-boz tried to talk to me that single got talked about in the source, love that album...

but i kinda lost touch with the rest of his career for some reason

the dwight spitz album is great, art 4 sale is all time for me.
he's got a LOT of albums on spotify including a full length from last year; probably time for me to reembrace.

finally some footage that captures the scope of this show

how can someone not be excited abt hip hop right now smh @ m@tt

"Where's the hooks?" lol

Thx for the Kevin Gates mention in this thread Deej. Checked it, liked it.

obsessed with pluto but that kels joint sticks out like a sore thumb. it's good tho. album reminds me a bit of 'the state vs radric davis'. not musically really, just a rapper managing to pull off a major label debut properly. spot on guest apperances. track with trae is so great.

yeah i weirdly found myself impressed that future did a pimp c song that sounded more or less like all his other songs -- figured it would be some hokey twanged out texas shit

that's pretty spot on. lol yea r kelly kinda nearly that song, the 'apple phone' line is just horrendous.

xpost

nearly ruined

EATING ON SHRIMP MOTHERFUCKER

lmao @ that keef show clip. reminds me of grime shows back in tha day with 40 motherfuckers shouting on stage. man that track is so fucking huge

*both those tracks

trying to spot deej on stage...

lol I was in the audience

Thats like keef and louies neighborhoods on stage with them.

There was a whole controversy bc the alderman sent out an email to residents warning about a "chief keef show"....which was actually headlined by meek mill

i was lolling @ louie when keef was doing "3hunna"

that gates song "dangerous" is awesome btw, the beat reminds me of the "bag lady"/"xxplosive" sample a bit

this new DJ Paul CD is so fucking awesome

dunno. i did really like the smoke dza thing i just listened to.

also i'm just not super in the mood as of late, been learning folk guitar and listening to a lot of that stuff and jazz mostly, louis armstrong is a good rapper

louis jordan is better

i never heard him! he's on the list of all those greats i need to check out.

oh shit dude, you really should
