rolling regional thug thread 2012

well as far as that goes...

he says "everyday i smell like fart" on "kay kay" right

Hate Being Sober works even with the guests. I'm only skimming so far, but I kinda love this.

it's interesting to listen how clear his voice is on "don't like" compared to so much other stuff on here

i really regret not liveblogging the Game album when i listened to it this morning

What did you think overall? I just got through it today, as well, but wasn't really focusing too intently. Some really embarrassing stuff but some kinda good stuff? Weird that he basically just lifted two well-known tracks to rap over (D'angelo 'Lady' and Bone '1st of tha month'), I think I like the Lady track. Only one I had to skip outright was Freedom cos he was just namedropping every rapper ever.

"citgo" is ridiculously good

did that Premo/Master P track end up making his album? xp

Game's karaoke impressions of every guest on the album are hilarious. Jayson Greene's review is v entertaining and spot-on about its flaws.

Except he doesn't catch all the flow jacking. Very good review. I do like the album though. When I don't pay attention to Game's lyrics it works wonderfully.

his Rick Ross flow is hysterical

his tyler impression on the last album was hilarious and sad at the same time, as all his impressions are

He clearly does it on purpose too. Sad, hilarious and incredible.

No Tomorrow kinda falls apart there for a few seconds.

After a full listen this might well qualify as my 2012 Flockaveli. I'm not mad at all. And HA HA HA sort of... works?

it is just not possible for you to say anything about Chief Keef without saying "Flockaveli" is it

imo no tomorrow falls apart point blank

xp Straight up impossible. HA HA HA is this year's BOW BOW BOW

And, yeah. No Tomorrow falls apart point blank. But it falls harder in certain places.

i wish he had his chicago friends on here instead of rick ross/wiz/jeezy

"no tomorrow" sounded like one of the best songs on the album to me

T.I. leaked too. Sunrise, sunset

the ti is kinda awful

its repetitive in a bad way

other than 'ballin' & arguably 'laughin to the bank' (which i kind of like despite not wanting to listen to) i think 'no tomorrow' is prob the weakest

'repetitive in a bad way' and 'repetitive in a good way' are the only 2 categories on this album aren't they

that's a pretty pessimistic view... i think with the way most rap albums get put together nowadays that this went off pretty damn well

oh i haven't heard it i was just making a joke because all of the songs i've heard are same damn flow over and over and over

well "love sosa" and "hate being sober" are pretty similar but idk i think it's varied w/in its own aesthetic

i don't mean repetition between songs but within songs -- "love sosa" is just the same sing song flow over and over, same from verse to chorus, makes me wanna die

u sound like dudes complaining about how juvenile rhymes 'ha' with 'ha'

as i said when you said the same thing last week: "ha" has a chorus that is distinct from the verse, having some repetition within the structure of the verse is completely different from what i'm talking about

well, i think that ppl overstate the repetition of the flow in love sosa if you think it doesn't work, there's variation in certain parts of it and the way he puts together particular lines, i mean the pattern is obviously intended to be predictable & then he pushes away from it at certain points

i mean "citgo" is basically one long chorus (or one long hook) but that's a big reason i like it, keef hits on this really great melody and then rides it out for 3 minutes... when it works its great but when it doesnt then it gets old fast

(or one long verse)

sorry i just played soccer very tired

I still cant get excited about Keef & crew. I know its lame to say "it all sounds the same" but I just cant get past that with this stuff, I've tried. I think it has just as much to do with the production as it does the rapping.

I do kinda like this one with 50 on it though, idk

the production is awesome tho

Sometimes it hits the right note but it all kinda blends together after a while? Build up... drop... repeat. I'm reducing it quite a bit obv and I know there is variation within that sound, I'm just not interested in the raps enough to search out the couple few tracks/beats I might like.

I really like King Louie out of the drill scene, though. His production choices seem much more varied.

yeah Louie definitely the most appealing of these dudes from what i've heard too

but keef has the most star power, he's got "it" compared to durk and louie, like keef ends up making the songs i want to listen to most, mostly due to his knack for this earwormy hooks

ugh we're expressing personal opinions dude not playing armchair A&R

no obvs this is my opinion?

i like durk and louie too

Star power means nothing to me at all.

Some releases I've been liking:

Traxamillion - My Radio
PSD Tha Drivah - Bullets and Bouquets
Showbiz and AG - Mugshot Music

i think keef is dope & super charismatic but im not mad if dudes prefer louie b/c i do too at some level, and hes not getting nearly the same level of attention

SD did you get a chance to check out that comp I sent you of his pre-'12 stuff?

some dude should get an SD neck tat like SD

Man, Kobe is so harrrrrrrrrrrrd. It has me dancing around the appartment like a loon.

SD tat on his longneck

Every ilxor should tat their username(s) on their necks, obv.
