rolling regional thug thread 2012

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

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.

damn the cutesy gif's. It's outsiders like yourself in hipster media that get a hard on by over analyzing Black music.

@DJGREENLANTERN this Altitude mix tape is phenomenal!!!! You realize you just made a new style. London trap mixed with Hiphop!!! Good Job!!

the more specific criticisms of the review are being lodged on krs ex's private fb00k page

noz gonna drag his feet the whole way on the keef thing

not that u guys were expecting me to respond any other way. but the soulja boy comparison suggests a level of accidental & coincidence where i'm hearing more intent & personality but ymmv

but 'ineptitude,' really

the other way the soulja comparison doesn't work is that it was the song that went viral, not the artist. ppl liked the dance & the video & werent wrapped up in soulja boy as a person iirc? i mean, we were all around when it hit but i don't recall the same level of connection to who soulja boy was

uhhh isn't rapradar like a haven for middlebrow aftermath bullshit rap or am i missing something completely

(many xposts)

no it is, which is the stupidest thing. i'm being accused of harming "the culture" via my position of power by a guy who runs a site that posts every iggy azealea mp3.

whole thread going "when you look into the abyss" atm

oh no what if we lose forks

lost me a long time ago friend

Forks whats a couple releases you liked this year that never got brought up itt?

hip hop releases? not many and primarily far more poppy than this thread cares to deal with.
I disagree with a lot of trap uber alles and crit rhetoric that gets slung around on here but it's been an excellent source for new music this year, no doubt. it's why i'm here!

Yeah hip-hop only.
