rolling regional thug thread 2012

i've been listening to "all birds" a lot off the MMG album. classic sleepy baby french hook.

I think the King L tape might be my fave of the nu-Chi class of 2012.

I don't know why all these tapes (King L/IceBurg/MeekMill) have to be 75 minutes long. It's such a slog, which is maybe why I keep coming back to lean 12-track ish like Action Bron or Mayhem Lauren

mixtapes on the whole seemed to be getting shorter a couple years ago and then the trend reversed

ALBUMS were getting shorter too and now it's the magical iTunes bonus bullshit era

keef's and reese's mixtapes each being like 11 songs is one of the reasons why i'd rate both so highly this year

does a al ship like the new ludacris semi-clapper "jingalin"? the verses are so bad and the chorus is such a blatant rip-off of "a$$" that i'm embarrassed even by latter day luda standards.

take it we're ignoring the Ross album then? "Sixteen" is pretty ludicrous but it's damned enjoyable, crappy guitar solo and all

rich forever >

the tape not the song

I haven't even listened to the full thing to be honest

rich forever >
--sisilafami

nah

Rich Forever is dope, but kinda monochromatic. This is pretty much wall to wall good (except the Usher song and wale/stalley verses) and runs the gamut from Luger bangers to yacht rap to BAWSE shit

nah, it's an incredibly safe album that dude has put out like 3 times already. it has its moments but ultimately a pretty big disappointment.

ross needs to balance the incredibly expensive sounding shit w/ songs where he gets his hands dirty. 'rich forever' had that... he sounds threatened, mean. 'god forgives' -- despite its menacing title -- is way too weighted towards "i'm rapping in a room that's made entirely of marble and silk" shit.

lol wait 50 cent has a new song out with dr dre and alicia keys

some good mustardcore here

i def prefer rich forever, although i think this is a solid ross record

There's songs on Rich Forever that are better than anything on this, but God Forgives is better as a whole. I would have loved to have a mastered version of "King of Diamonds" :(

yeah i'm trying to remember what i tweeted when it dropped, something about how the only way beefing w/ big sean can get any sadder is to make his new single a big sean knockoff.

oh that's right

2 chainz and bangladesh should write a hit for luda for old time's sake

heh

ha!

what is mustardcore?

a stupid term i just made up referring to dj mustard, the prod of "rack city"

haha ok you never know in these days of #seapunk and purple wow

I love that as soon as you read the title "Duffle Bag of That Money" you know exactly how the chorus is going to go

The best song of 2012 got a video last night

i still like 'truth gonna hurt you' a bit more.

Abrasive is a great rap name

Spits kinda Gunplayish.

it's cool you guys like na'tee, i think she's really good. it's kinda weird though cuz in many ways she's a pretty traditional battle/punchline type rapper than thought was goon non grata, like she's not that far from joell ortiz

"Lil Kim" is a story track that makes me think more of
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIAAoHA5ikU

I haven't listened to the entire tape yet tho. she's def east coast influenced & one of her fav albums is broken silence, which i fuck w/ heavily

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmjWCD4YhEY

one of the best rap songs ever imo

she's a much better writer and rapper than joell ortiz and isn't made of 100% smug

i get it, like i said i think it's good! though i know lex wouldn't like her if she were some random MC rappin' mcdude

king louie is working with mike will, sonny digital & shawty redd !
