RIP Nate Dogg obv

this interview w/ combat jack, dallas penn & the program director of hot 97 about the state of hip-hop radio is really interesting

that was fascinating

"don't get up on stage and have 40 other motherfuckers up there with you" amen

making my way through noz' eoy list, here's some boring notes on trax u already heard:

i'm not even sure i know why young scooter 'columbia' is awesome but goddamn it so is

omg young thug 'keep in touch' <3

chance the rapper 'juke juke' also <3, was this a hit, why not

alkopo don deserves his own thread

cousin fik 'knocka nigga down' http://i.imgur.com/ETMsa.gif

maybe kinda p much hate 'druggys with hoes again'

idk about 'bars' over 'val venis' on this list but king louie is a good-ass rapper no doubt

i'd deliberately ignored trina 'beam' til now but WAU this that og slip n slide shit

shame about lil reese cos 'haters' is an amazing beat

i can remember rocko's first album and big single (in idk what 2009) as a real "ok idgi anymore" moment for me personally but damn he's really come along since then. or was i just so wrong back then?

tree's tape should have appeared on way way way more eoy albums lists than it did, which was none iirc

this is amazing off the martorialist list

also the lolwut game/master p/premier joint

young thug 'keep in touch' is in my top ten most played this year, awesome song. I liked p much all of vol2 but wasn't feeling vol 3 as much.

yeah vol2 has joints all over the place... vol3 is spotty but still has jams and it's just generally a blast to hear that guy rap

Tree 'Sunday School' is my favorite 2012 release.

Got that rocking chair going huh, Wale?

I made a list of songs i liked this year.

thanks for that, will be exploring

Aye, good listicle.

That Ampichino & Young Bossi release has so many jams.

the young thug song on noz's list definitely made me gasp in horror and be glad that i never subjected myself to a full tape of that guy

do/did you like this one tho?

sub-trinidad james tbh

hah, alright. you crazy

ahah

nah he's just never heard trinidad james iirc

i hadn't heard him on day 5 of The Trinidad James Era but it's been a couple months since then, i have heard him now

i mean you can't really listen to the radio w/o hearing him at this point

that's a hot song

did you just endorse "all gold everything" or am i not following this conversation correctly

yeah i think that's a good single

nothing else he's done is even remotely good but i won't deny that "all gold everything" bangs

usually when someone who can barely rap gets hot off one song there's some good production involved but i don't fuck with that beat at all

oh yeah the beat is cool

i think it's pretty dope... not an amazing beat but serviceable. that little raking noise is kinda cool. i actually think his rapping on that song are a big reason why the song works... i mean it's kinda crazy that dude has the hottest song in rap and the entire song is basically one long verse where he literally doesn't even rhyme. it's very post-lil b so i understand that it doesn't really crossover with the ship aesthetic.

i suppose it's too much to ask at this point that we not be little venn diagrams of taste profiles

although i do agree that it's interesting anytime a radio hit departs from the 16 bars/hook/16 bars/hook standard, seems to be happening more and more now

I don't really like TJ as a rapper, but the song works and the beat is good.

well i mean i know your tastes pretty well i think i wasn't surprised that you weren't feeling it, is all i'm saying

could assume that about probably 99% of music posted to this thread tho

well idk... i thought ship might like young thug or rich kidz or whatever

I don't really like TJ as a rapper, but the song works and the beat is good.

bingo

i actually like bars mor than val venis as well

'keep in touch' is my shit btw honestly surprised ship doesnt like it its a pretty trad composition imo

my fav chance the rapper song is 'yolo'

the obviousness of the sample on 'juke juke' kept me from loving it altho i like what they do w/ the juke parts

i like some Rich Kidz songs, just got a bit much over the course of a whole tape imo. that one guy's voice especially.

stuff like Young Thug basically reminds me of when i used to listen to 150 Baltimore mixtapes a year and what the bottom 5% of that sounded like

did you like 'foreign' by him any more or are you not going on the whole thing

hadn't heard that one, better than the others i guess. i realize that "sounds like lil wayne" is a genre in 2012 but if you can't even rise to the standards of 2012 lil wayne then kill yourself imo.

looks like young guru's getting a bad first impression of j0rdan

rite cos there's nothing but pure high consciousness on rapradar

Brian B.Dot™ Miller ‏@bdotTM
damn the cutesy gif's. It's outsiders like yourself in hipster media that get a hard on by over analyzing Black music.
