rolling regional thug thread 2012

Anytime.

I really hope the Keef album is this year's Flockaveli. And I mean almost 2 million views for "Love Sosa" video on YouTube in 5 days? That's buzz.

I mean, when my good friend, who likes basically Kanye/Drake/Big Sean/Tyga/etc latches onto this song and then comes to ME and is like "Have you heard of this Chief Keef guy?" that's a pretty good barometer for me of something special happening.

also i think i like "love sosa" more than "i don't like"

me 2 but i feel like that might be kanye's fault

i feel like it's always kanye's fault

that said i cant abide this 'the next flockaveli' talk b/c there's something abt waka's limitations granting him a weird kind of consistency b/c it was so easy for him to fill his lane & low expectations, he didn't have a 3 mill. deal or anything like that. but also just musically

aka it remains to be seen if keef can translate irl buzz to actual $$$ i wd think

i would bet keef makes a more flawed record tbh, but that the highs might strike a lil more ... deeply? on keef's. i mean think about it, there's something to the fact that waka could talk about some real shit & a lot of folks would basically reduce it to "hes like hip hop punk rock"-type shit, i'm not sure folks ever real gave waka much credit so there wasn't the same bond ... keef is like waka meets meek mill or something

anyway i'm just cautious in general about these kind of 'its the new [x]' type statements in general

Oh, I only call it that because I think it will be an uncomprimising album by an artist representing something new, yielding a great batch of singles, and an album that will gain a large following and sell a good deal but will also turn out to be divisive, with all the real-hiphop people complaining a lot about the artist's lack of talent, yet it will be seen as a milestone for years to come by people who care about such things. Nothing deeper than that.

I am expecting at least three or four boring songs though.

I am expecting at least three for four more boring posts of your Chief Keef 5 Day Forecast

there's a chance of a banger on thursday followed by an ode to the homies on friday, but things rebound on the weekend for the trap party jams

lmao

there's a Drake front coming through but it might break into clouds of YCMB guest spots by early next week

i said that flockaveli thing on twitter... i wasn't necessarily talking about sales or overall impact or whatever just that it seems like it's gonna be an album full of bangers of a specific type that works over the course of a full album in spite of itself

If only Triple F Life had been a better album we wouldn't be discussing this in the first place. As it is... I need my fix. • scratches •

Did Future's mixtape get put back? It was supposed to drop earlier this week yeah?

ya it did

cheers mate. Bit rich of me to be bummed out by that considering he's already released 2 records this year. Oh well.

dying @ some of his recent instagrams

kinda like this new Alley Boy mixtape which i listened to mostly because of the o_O rolling metal thread artwork and title

ehh obviously we all anticipate and speculate but i feel like it's best to shy away from pre-reviewing the emerging narrative around what an album seems to be shaping up as based on leaks

So Feva just dropped 75 mixtapes on datpiff? Will these rappers never learn?

That KP Montana, Durk & Louie is tough btw.

well sure. if i'm wrong then no one remembers, if i'm right that i get to brag about being prophetic. isn't that how things work?

Meek leaked. Not bad but not very exciting either. Somewhere in the 6/10 - 7/10 range after one spin.

really looking forward to digging into this

i'm only 4 songs in, but sequencing on the meek album seems awful.

running bet as i start the meek how many tracks will feature I Got Serious Shit To Say tinkly piano keys is 5

weird transition halfway through the opener...

lol i love I Got Serious Shit To Say tinkly piano keys

I like the slow tinkly and serious ones the best, probably. The ones with Ross don't sound too convincing. And how is MJB on this one too? lol
I miss Burn though I hear it's on the deluxe.

MJB hook has been the Industry Seal of Approval for like 18 years straight now, how did you never get that memo

MJB hook has been Signal To Skip Track for the last 10 years straight now for me

that too

When was the last time she was on three of the Most Important Rap Releases of the Year though? 1996?

2006

the song she did on the Nas album was surprisingly one of the only good songs on that record!

i love that part

i do too, it's just literally the musical transition is odd, but it's supposed to be jarring i think

i essentially wanted to turn the whole album off after "tony story 2"

"believe it" with ross is the best track on there after "amen" and the intro... the only keepers, really

album is def missing some tracks like "burn" or "A1 everything" or "house party" or "don't panic" that are just fun bangers

i like 'layup' or i did at the listening sesh anyway

How does "House Party" not make this?!

best use of twinkly piano keys so far is on "maybach curtains"

the ones in the back that go DEEDLE DEEDLE DEEDLEDUUUUH... but fuck a john legend... the track's kinda whack overall tho, although i like nas on it.

also how many times has nas said "al green while moms cleanin" ... too many, i feel.

"house party" is of another era already
