rolling regional thug thread 2012

'citgo' kinda sounds like a charred negative of a pop punk song

Definitely. I have been listening to it for the last few days a lot, great track.

Listening to the asap album right now. So far it's everything you might expect from an asap album. pretty ZZZZzzzZZZ... At least it's well mastered.

vinny cha$e > a$ap

high praise

vinny chase the worst character on the worst show entourage > any new rapper with a dollar sign in their name

How did the A$AP leak so early though? That stuff never happens anymore.

good review imo

you should start a PolitiFact-type media watchdog site for Chief Keef coverage, give out good and bad grades for accuracy

yeah that's a good review

u should suck a dicc

idk why im not allowed to weigh in on reviews of a record when we do this ALL THE TIME about record reviews in this thread 365/yr?

especially considering the tweet that provoked this stupid meme was me clowning an 'i don't like' kicker, not anyone's actual opinions of the record

idk why im not allowed to weigh in on reviews of the record over and over and over again

deej you told us to keep it off twitter and joke w/ you about this on ilx instead, this is the best we can offer you and you know this

hey now!

*backs away slowly*

has anyone heard the new tip album? im overhearing it & it sounds pretty good

sounds pretty good to me so far but i would say that

Did you like 'Fuck Da City Up'?

it sounded fine when i heard it but never felt any need to return to it, "Hot Wheels" aside

ha, p much my take as well.

i didnt like 'fuck da city up' very much at all, agreed about hot wheels. also, the song 'harry potter' had a hot beat, but it was called harry potter, so

i've been hearing pop punk echoes in rap for years now

been thru the thread earlier and saw that this was true, my bad dude i hate when ppl do that to me

haha one personal reason i like this analogy is cos i know loads of britfolk irl who have this whole all-consuming youth upbringing in us pop punk (you know they do like retro nights at the alibi right?) and i'm always like wtf is this stuff when would anyone have ever heard it, it fits directly with the great nowadays niche disconnect between rap and the uk i occasionally like to speak of

might play some travis porter to the missus and test the theory out

there's some really bad stuff on the TI though

how have Travis Porter and Travis Barker not collaborated yet?

'cause travis barker is worse than cancer ?

I'm not saying it should happen, just that it feels unlikely that it hasn't.

i wouldn't be surprised if Travis Porter was named after what they thought the drummer from Blink 182's name was

im gonna go full markers in here if you guys keep shitting on travis barker

lol i listened to the TB album (AND his record w/ Yelawolf) and stan for dude as a drummer fwiw

the t.i. album is depressingly purposeless

kind of feel tip should be aiming for something slightly more satisfying than "it has its moments"

yeah a serious sinking feeling accompanies the second half. there's been a weird obligatory air around the whole project though -- "i recorded 100 songs for this album but i don't really care anymore, just keeping it moving"

one of my make-a-wish foundation scenarios would be to actually A&R some of these albums where dudes make 100 songs and usually manage to pick all the wrong ones.

totally, it feels like he threw whatever on here and didn't even bother editing it down

oh my GOD is this akon singing elton john over ryan tedder drums? fux sake tip

haha i was about to say, being spared the Gotye/B.o.B song but getting Akon singing Elton instead is a real out of the frying pan and into the fire situation.

This whiney originated meme that I hate all keef reviews except my own is such bs and is more abt how much i've written on him. like were not dissing ppl's reviews of rap on here every day

Anyway, my only problem w jordans review is that the waka comparisons are useless imo

Also I think its funny that al is so condescending abt that stuff re whats going to be a hit etc. when he just underestimated lp sales by 20k

20k is only a wide margin when the number is that small to begin with, which kinda underlines my overall point

Thats not a small number considering the climate and that his big singles haven't even really impacted. He outsold Futures first week numbers by 15k, and still 4k if you include pluto 3d. Meanwhile future pushed and promoted his records while keef has done no shows throughout the county and has been releasing videos for songs not on his album

That should read no-shows,meaning flaking on appearances

this is like reading those insane pop stan boards arguing over who's flopped more

lol

haven't heard the rest of the T.I. record, but i love "ball" and "sorry".

50k isnt flopping numbers. Al even said, right now its mostly media attention. The songs will carry the lp

compounding it right there
