rolling mumble rap challenge 2017

that said this is also the first year where Chicago's been kind of dry too

part of that is because every single chicago artist in existence released a major project last year

into this

Trippie Redd's whole project is pretty good actually

i think i'm the lone warm brew stan on ilx but anyway this new song is super fun as usual (takes a minute to get rolling but love the sung chorus hook and the 2nd verse is really great)

think it's from last year but Hus Kingpin & Smoovth - HNIC (Hempstead Niggas in Chicago) tape is pretty amazing in the conway/westside/roc marci type zone, reminds me a little of Nas, but It Was Written Nas not Illmatic Nas

not normally my thing but im kinda fucking with DJ Lucas

so bad. lol @ everyone who pretended to like his shit

Listened to Done by the Forces of Nature by Jungle Brothers tonight, what a classic

no desire to listen to the yachty but i'll gladly fire up some classic JBs

bump j is back, apparently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPykyl8-Kcg

Yeah good song too.

His first verse though:

Mozzy/Gunplay alb drops tonight

new hus is tight as shit

lol soundcloud

this hip-hop worldview is so lame to me

deej. why did you make me watch this? it made me hate hip hop and want to die.

no hype for brockhampton / kevin abstract on ilx i guess

really young dudes originally from georgia/texas
then moved to los angeles, where theyre getting a decent following

kinda weirdish in a good way but i guess kevins a big odd future fan

theyve gotten better since their 2015 release, so heres the new stuff

are any non-kendrick rap albums this year better than "thot breaker"?

seems obviously better than yachty

carti & hnrdxx are good but not as good

uzi vert could pose a challenge, young thug also, but those arent out yet

obviously SANDAS and Trippie Redd's tapes are also ace this year but kind of rookie records.

this new trippie redd is fire btw, what's that string sample? I know i've heard it but i can't place it. Pierre bourne can do no wrong and this is a hell of a chorus lol

https://soundcloud.com/quantaevans/trippie-redd-oowee

yeah id say thot breaker took no.1 spot from two zero one seven for me. i'd put the tee grizzley and gunnas 'drip season 2' in there also.

yeah ive been playing that gunna tape out a lot, hear it a surprising amount in chicago. "belly of the beast" is a jam, love that bassline

a number of real bangers on that tape, but its "secure the vibe" for me. track is something elevated.

Omg kids today still care about garbage ass GG Allin we are doomed

That YouTube was some dark affluenza shit

re soundcloud rap : that thouxanbanfauni tape earlier this year was nice.

it seems p obvious to me that xxx is gonna end up being the biggest rapper to come from this whole scene

but lol @ how he's managed to do it:

https://soundcloud.com/jahseh-onfroy/xxxtentacion-ski-mask-the-slump-god-off-the-wall

noz played this on his radio show, and it's awesome

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-bxhiYHBuw

actually the whole tape is good and this new track too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNM4q75PlxY

Yeah I put "nice n slow" in my column, ballgreezy's sound is refreshingly different right now

holy shit Thot Breaker is amazing... wonder if he'll cross(back)-over, after a few years out of the spotlight making music 4 the fans

Fwiw some of the best songs on it actually leaked out a year ago. Lol a lot of him "making music for the fans" had to do w presentation and ppl's (inaccurate imo) perceptions of him just off in left field making weirdo music or whatever

Like yes a love songs theme makes this more obviously conceptual but a lot of what's going on here musically has obvious precedent in the "nobody" tapes for ex. This stands apart just cuz it is just a well-curated collection of songs put together by his current manager. (Bang 3 was put together by FilmOn, alki david's label; finally rich by larry Jackson and young chop, bang 2 and almightyso by keef himself.)

AlmightySo, IMO, is just as good as this, maybe slightly stronger, arguably slightly less accessible. In the context of Uzi vert, playboi carti, and yachty, I think it seems much less weird now than it did in 2013

"Dats My Bae" is lovely!

Did J.I.D. get discussed in this thread? Album is blowing my mind; right up there with Carti and Kendrick for me.

Tee Grizzly and GoldLink are the other standout records for me. The new Gunna is gorgeous. And Thot Breaker is a revelation, obviously. Would love to see that become Keef's big comeback project.
