rap radio hits of the first half of 2012

no votes for shot caller :(

it's getting kinda big at the moment, although "crew love" seems to be stealing its momentum a lil bit (to the extent that radio has any hesitation about putting 2 drake songs in rotation at once)

xpost

these poll results are 60% young money >:O

I still haven't heard Future on the radio at all, although "Racks" and "Tony Montana" seemed popular with people I know. Haven't heard "Magic" or "Same Damn Time" in the wild at all tho. :(

well the options are prob 60% young money

only 43%

'mercy' has been hitting in a big way for me lately

need an edit that gets rid of big sean obv

love how 2 chainz sonuds like the climactic finale

yeah "Mercy" is like the only recent big 2 Chainz guest verse where he rises to the occasion

yeah

where else has there been talk about 'mercy'? it's basically kanye's take on 'hustle hard' right?

if it is, it's not remotely as transparent as "theraflu" being a bite of "i'm goin' in"

the Super Beagle sample in Mercy is so awesome

big sean's verse is good on mercy imo

damn didn't vote in this but haven't had a chance to listen to rap radio yet this year. loads of good songs here! i quite like HYFR, it's fun to sing along to!

"built a house up on that ass, that's an ass-tate" and "now we out in pari, yeah I'm perrier-ing" are next level awful even by his standards

it's probably the second best verse after 2 chainz, but that's a low bar to hurdle considering pusha & kanye's verses

I kinda like pusha's verse better than big sean's

"built a house up on that ass, that's an ass-tate"

if ludacris said this a couple years ago u would have laughed with the rest of us

im not a big sean fan by any means but hes such an overhated dude at this pt

tell me how my ass tate

no not really, he's a terrible rapper getting increasingly popular. there's nothing wrong with hating him.

^^^^^^^^

'asstate' is such a pained bit of wordplay that there's no RIGHT way to set it up, but there are certainly ways that would've been less unapologetically lazy than "built a house up on that ass, that's an ass-tate"

first twenty times i heard "mercy" i thought he was saying "ass-stake" like "mistake." which was confusing but i thought maybe he was negging the girl in question.

which i think has caused me maybe to value the "ass-state" pun too highly because at least it's better than my moronic interpretation

i like that song a lot, even though i couldn't tell you why, but would have voted "cashin out" because:

RIDIN ROUND WITH THAT NINA!!!!!!!

i love the idea of big sean rapping about when he accidentally built a house on a girl's ass

"ah yes... *takes a ship of whiskey* that was one of my biggest investment ass-stakes"

i am an idiot

synthetic fabric material covering her butt, that's ass-tate

big assio mistake

just to spell out my dumb logic, i thought he was saying that it turned out to be an insubstantial ass.

insubstantial foundation for an ass-house

i like this latest ass-tangent

put some zit cream on that ass, that's an ass-tringent

ass-issted living

ass-emble head in sunburst sound

in the bay at the moment. so great hearing all ma jams on the radio. they play 'adorn' all the time!

rap radio thoughts

- clyde carson 'slow down' was prob my fav bay area rap radio banger
- 'dope bitch' sounds real nice on the radio when the suns shining
- that rick ross & usher joint is jammin'
- that tyga song they kept playing (make it nasty) is so so shit. rehashing his own shit
- i quite like that j. cole joint with missy elliot (actually and 'work out' too)
- 'ayy ladies' is brill and i still listen to the travis porter album all the time
- i think i might be starting to like e-40 O_o

i need to repent for not repping for "same damn time"

i like french montana "pop that" ft lil wayne rick ross & drake a lot

who doesn't like e-40 !?

his name is tpp

xp ya i guess his verse is awful, idk with 'pop that' i feel the way you guys seem to about, like, "i'm on one" or something, just a great beat

wayne's verse is stupid but so is everyone's on that song, his at least kinda matches the energy of the beat more than the others

also kinda lol but mostly sad that there are apparently radio station somewhere playing "make it nasty"

it's crazy how "Turn On The Lights" somehow makes more sense to me as a single than it did on the album

xp ya i agree with that, my biggest complaint about 'pop that' is how little french montana there is on it
