There's no big leap from casual drug use to rapping about have guns as a teenager? Ok dude
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 4 September 2014 16:17 (eleven years ago)
like the third line of "no flex zone" is "niggas throw sets and gang bang" idk man
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 4 September 2014 16:47 (eleven years ago)
casual drug use to guns was a pretty common leap when I was a teen--but then I was in Arizona.

kids are around gang banging thats not as weird, but its markedly different than than two prepubescent kids talking about extendos out the roof ... the other big rap song to mention extendos i remember from this year is by stitches
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 4 September 2014 17:24 (eleven years ago)
i think they're almost 20 btw

When did Jeezy drop the 'Young'
― 龜, Thursday, 4 September 2014 17:36 (eleven years ago)
yeah i can't see "No Type" being as big a hit but who knows what else they got, i like these kids
― some dude, Thursday, 4 September 2014 02:09 Bookmark
'no type' is v promising i think... the hook is non-obvious, addictive in a slyer way to 'nfz', quite impressively constructed
kinda get the impression they might be savvier or more studious than they let on, to tie in with what deej is saying
― r|t|c, Thursday, 4 September 2014 17:46 (eleven years ago)
i think swae lee is the obv star of the two and i wouldn't be surprised if he had a solo career of some sort (also since he as a co prod credit on "no type")

not big on this song or anything but shmurda kills it imo

― r|t|c, Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:01 (eleven years ago)
and my bitch she like 44but she a bad bitch, and every time a nigga smash it she got me screaming diddy ad libs
ha is shmurda really 20 cos this is fairly advanced
― r|t|c, Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:05 (eleven years ago)
the gs9 tape is super iffy and only really good when he's rapping. 'shystie' is worth hearing.
also i kinda dig this:

'how can i lose' is pretty rote lyrically tho it's more about the energy in the video i guess
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:14 (eleven years ago)
gotta say the bars in that rico song do sound another level of ~advanced~ ... wonder if thats a ghostwriter deal
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:22 (eleven years ago)
what did rico love do to get the first bobby shmurda feature
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:29 (eleven years ago)
he didn't, scroll up
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:29 (eleven years ago)
bobby shmurda is the real droog
i meant the first person of any real notoriety to get a bobby shmurda feature
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:31 (eleven years ago)
the triz song is dope though
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 4 September 2014 18:32 (eleven years ago)
ya i'm liking it, cool medieval chiptune beat
― r|t|c, Thursday, 4 September 2014 19:21 (eleven years ago)
Wouldn't be surprised to hear that Rico Love wrote Shmurda's verse.
― longneck, Thursday, 4 September 2014 20:02 (eleven years ago)
shmurda has some video swag, cant be denied
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 4 September 2014 20:15 (eleven years ago)
yeah "How Can I Lose" is fun. That and "Shmoney Dance" are my Shmurda jams
― The Reverend, Thursday, 4 September 2014 20:57 (eleven years ago)

― rap steve (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 4 September 2014 23:06 (eleven years ago)
That song is cool.
This girl works at the Apple store by my house, we talked music and she said she is a rapper and gave me a link to her tape. idk, AZ hip hop is pretty dire overall

isn't cappadonna in AZ now?
there was a good rapper from AZ...he had shitloads of tattoos...i think deej liked the one song
― rap steve (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 September 2014 01:01 (eleven years ago)
back in the day I saw that dude Shug open for Public Enemy/Ice Cube/Big Daddy Kane/Redhead Kingpin and he spent most of his set talking about how Arizona doesn't support hip hop. True back then probably.

I expect many of you will know this but just in case - AZ rapper from the 90s called Vontel, very g funk/mobb music sounding.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8tyVN-hmpU
the album is good.

“I have yet to understand the value of Arizona,” Cappadonna says, with a heavy heart. “I have yet to understand why God brought me here.”
