rolling regional thug thread 2012

i think they're hoping he'll do it without one of his hits secretly being a Drake song

Proud of my cousin who shot/edited/directed this video:

I'm proud that someone in this thread posted a YouTube that didnt embed

YA

and that his aesthetic range isn't really any more limited than snoop's was at the time

Just curious, by "at that time" - are you referring to a) "Doggystyle, The Chronic & Deep Cover-Snoop", b) "The Chronic & Deep Cover-Snoop" or just c) "Deep Cover-Snoop".

I can see the case for c), but really - Snoop on The Chronic is far more versatile than anything I've seen from Keef yet.
I have no problem with limited aesthetics - I just think Snoop's was always more varied, and not only because Dre's G-Funk aesthetic was more varied than Young Chop's is now. Snoop was approaching those beats in all kinds of ways,

Let me just add that I think Keef's career arc has already surpassed Noz's victimizing "By giving Keef this instant attention, we’ve all but frozen his talent in the moment. Any creative momentum or professional hunger he possessed at first will almost certainly dissolve because, in his head, he’s already made it. I’d like him to prove me wrong, but I doubt he will. Write any 16 year old a million dollar cheque and see if his motivations still lie with artistry" thing

The attention has enabled songs like Love Sosa, Kobe and Hate Being Sober to become what they deserve to be, hits.

You guys are insane

I care.

i dont even understand what you're arguing. two different keef songs are closer to one snoop song than they are to two different snoop songs?

i dont think there's any more musical variation between 'gin & juice' and 'whats my name' than '3hunna' and 'hate being sober' fwiw

the not-yet-released Hate Being Sober is a hit?

yeah also if 50 cent and wiz khalifa (as much as i love wiz) are on "hate being sober" fuck that...

50 makes way more sense than wiz, even as a sober rapper

i saw this video on youtube where keef and another dude spent a day w/50, was nice he seemed to be trying to mentor them, but i felt kinda bad at the same time because 50's level of money and success is kind of closed door now...50 got in just in time to be in an era where you could make major money off of actual recordings, then obviously parlayed that into a once-in-a-lifetime score on owning that chunk of vitamin water

wiz is like the eminent weed rapper in rap right now, so he's fine, but 50 is so much a shell of his former self, i don't see how he's going to contribute anything that isn't skip-worty or at best just a time waster until the hook returns

disagree

i hate everything about that post

the eminent weed pop rapper, whatever

you guys are really going to try and argue that curtis isn't washed up? please

well, sure, but i'm not about to turn around & say that i have any desire to hear wiz khalifa at all

& anyway i outlined yesterday why i'd be willing to believe that 50 would sound good on hate being sober

I can definitely live with 50 Cent being on HBS. But Wiz just feels wrong, as if they're desperate to counter 50's potential midas-in-reverse touch with someone who is "actually relevant" and will help it get on the radio.

i dunno i still like wiz, taylor allderdice is great, and aesthetic wise this is right in his wheelhouse

eminence weez

aesthetic-wise it's not in his wheelhouse at all! just cuz it's about "not being sober"?

yes! wiz is also all about the singsong flows. i'm not worried about wiz on it, is my point

ugh

but i get it, you don't think he fits in with the harder more menacing track. i get that, but i like his cabin fever stuff over the luger beats, so i think it's a non-issue

ok no more talking about any of this when we could be listening to kilo ali

i think so, he is beefing with Game and also saying that Kendrick is not that good

he was deported to Belize

I've got tickets to see 2 Chainz on Friday. No idea what to expect, nor if this was a wise decision.
