on that same note pretty sure Jeezy's a Respected Elder of hip hop now, but I'm so old I remember when his simple flow/rhyming same words together/yeaaaahhhs were ruining hip hop. tbf though he has changed his rapping style some starting with The Recession or so, for better or worse.
I'm not sure who's stepped in to fill the ruininghiphop void these days, I'm not sure if it's Thug actually, and with Eminem fans Wayne seems to be the root of all evil for some reason (cuz they were on a few tracks together where Em rapped all impassioned/constipated-like, maybe) but yeah, dunno.

LOL who is Berner? Some rich guy who pays rappers to be on his songs? Anyway I like that hook, YG faxed his verse in and still came off interesting.

Bay Area Rapper Berner Hips Wiz Khalifa To Trippy StickBay Area rapper “Berner” is known to most Californians as more than just a good underground Hip Hop artist. To them, he’s known as one of the finest marijuana / club dealers on the West Coast. His name carries weight on the streets of North California and of course, rapper Wiz Khalifa, is one of his compadres. Recently, the two hooked up to bring Wiz and the Taylor Gang family into Berner’s world, upgrading the Pittsburgh stoners to the latest smoking technology.
“Peep Game, this is why I like it the most. It charges with a USB right. So on your laptop – on your anything right. So you got disposable cartridges,” says Berner to Taylor Gang’s Chevy Woods as he begins to educate them on Trippy Sticks. “The Type of Places I been smoking this thang… Disneyland – House of Prime Rib last night. It smell’s like a new _____ sauce” he continued.
Unaware of the Trippy Stick in 2011, Wiz Khalifa and the Taylor Gang were educated to the new stoner technology by rapper Berner during a California trip. The Bay Area rapper and business mogul tells Wiz Khalifa, Chevy Woods, and the rest of the Taylors how to use it. Berner also shows them the accessories of Trippy Sticks along with some of his favorite features.
Around the 3 minute 30 seconds mark of the Trippy Stick video, Wiz Khalifa takes his first hit of the hash oil vaporizer. For 13 seconds Wiz sucks in the Hash smoke until choking a little then dancing around in stoner-joy. The Pittsburgh marijuana smoker holds in the vapors for another 10 seconds, releasing the lung-caged fumes at approximately 3 minutes and 53 seconds.
“That High” says Wiz Khalifa after 1 toke on the Trippy Stick. “This $h*t is real” he continued.
The end experience of Wiz Khalifa, thanks to Berner, is that a Trippy Stick is a necessary tool for new age stoners. As a gift Berner gave Wiz Khalifa his own personal stick and 5 hash oil clips.

Think Migos COULD be the designated rap ruiners but its mitigated by the fact that Drake copped their flow & cmon everything he does is cool

i was gonna say that berner is def a drug dealer. when i was backstage at wiz's tour in jersey he showed up at one point late in the day carrying big black duffle bags and quickly disappeared into some tour bus.

BTW pretty sure i introduced the Goon thread to Berner years ago and we had this same discussion when he started popping up on incredible songs w/ jacka sporting a Flow That Sounded Like It Was In Title Case.

lol I knew it. I remember Riff Raff used to get a lot of money that way. Half of his videos on youtube just with random rich kids who want to rap. times change lol.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Thursday, 4 September 2014 16:34 (eleven years ago)
wait Riff Raff isn't a random rich kid who wanted to rap?

I don't like Migos or Chief Keef actually (not-that-they're-similar disclaimer) just the whole killer of hip hop becoming viewed with rose-tinted glasses once a "worse" artist comes along is funny to me

There's a few songs that've made urban radio way more interesting to me lately & "Lifestyle's" definitely the top dog of that group
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 03:07 (eleven years ago)
I'm not "glad" "Stoner" never really popped off in that way cuz any shine Thug gets is good imo but not gonna lie I mess with this way more, that one was just kinda goofy in not the best way
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 03:08 (eleven years ago)
the stoner beat takes u on a journey imho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 03:13 (eleven years ago)
I'm not 100% on this but I dig old-school West Coast stuff a lot & in addition to Thugger just killin it (killin it!) "Lifestyle's" beat kinda gives me that feel
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 03:16 (eleven years ago)
"Stoner" completely blew my mind when I first heard it. I thought it was like 5 different rappers.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 05:19 (eleven years ago)
He probably kinda goes in on it but honestly the beat's a little dinky (not GIRLY mind it's so un-girly) for my tastes
Actually both the "Stoner"/"Danny Glover" "OMG Thug's bout to blow" singles didn't do it for me while "Lifestyle" is obviously the greatest Rich Gang cut thus far. And I say that as someone who liked a handful of songs on the OG Rich Gang album lol
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 06:18 (eleven years ago)
"Stoner" is a 100% classic gtfo
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 06:19 (eleven years ago)
I like "Yeah Yeah" + how he sounds like a drugged-up Drake on the hook
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 06:31 (eleven years ago)
Lifestyle is arguably rap song of the year so far. And yes, Stoner is def 100% classic gtfoh.
― longneck, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 06:47 (eleven years ago)
"Stoner (GTFO If You Don't Like It Remix)"
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 06:51 (eleven years ago)
and nah not arguably it 100% is
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 06:52 (eleven years ago)
"Lifestyle" doesn't really do anything for me tbh

Thanking whoever put together Straye Thugs - great comp!

was wondering what lagoon thought of Curtains, Picacho, and 2 Cups
― rob, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 12:08 (eleven years ago)
I assume the scope of the comp was limited to more recent stuff

love all of 1017 thug classic album imho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 12:48 (eleven years ago)
theres a no drops vers out there which is def worthwhile fwiw, never got into any of the i came from nothings really def some cool moments on there but his style feels pretty nascent and the wayne jocking kinda jumps out at u
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 13:12 (eleven years ago)
1017 Thug is def. not classic but it is good & yeah the birth of current-day Thugga far as I can tell
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 14:56 (eleven years ago)
100% CLASSIC EVERY SONG IS GOOD AND THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SONGS AND THEY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 15:02 (eleven years ago)
only complaint is it wouldve been cooler to have some pro space age mastering its almost completely mid range free and thuggers voice can get kinda buzzy and irritating when its expressed just through that tinny high end
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 15:05 (eleven years ago)
well at least you didn't tell me to gtfo although the caps did make me feel a certain type of way
― nova, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 15:05 (eleven years ago)
1017 def has skippable moments ... 2nd "I came from nothing" is great btw
