I've had this on repeat today, probably not the greatest recommendation - but I likes it!

Trouble album is surprisingly solid all the way through. I usually find him the most forgettable part of most songs that he's on, but he's a charming presence and a good host on the new tape. crazy that he got a Drake feature.

this is a proven formula, still works for me:

otm re Trouble / MikeWill release. Solid throughout.

gotta love Slim Thug, still bossin' after all these years

this kid was 16 from st. paul, he got killed in a fight that broke out on someone's birthday party bus, said he was trying to break up a fight :(

helluva way to die :/

love that Slim Thug

whoda thunk they could find someone even worse than akademics for everyday struggle? that new old geezer is rancid

Star is a legend in the world of saying fucked up shit

i dont mean that as a compliment

there's 5-6 really good songs on the rich the kid album and a few great ones

Star is some real sub DJ Vlad bottom feeder shit, if he quits they're gonna end up with Professor Griff or Lord Jamar

the Czarface/Metal Face album is really great

listened to it over the weekend and enjoyed it for sure. esoteric is a boring rapper but he doesnt distract too much

yeah i don't mind him but i thought he mighta stepped back a little bit more with 2 legends on the project

is this the right thread to post about how i've been really digging the new rich homie quan

this is it

i love "changed" but haven't gotten around to the album yet

i guess future released something last week? haven't seen much on it.

the quan is definitely a little marathon-length for me (in number of songs, not actual album length, which is under an hour), but it still feels like a great midpoint between the spastic psychedelia of thugger and future's angst. somehow that, plus the spacey production and his regretful gestures toward the past few years' career hiccups, ends up sounding like simple, basic humanity. gotta say, never thought quan would end up one of the most formalist, humanist rappers of the ones who came up in the mid-aughts

RHQ’s tape last year was really good too. didn’t see much talk about it

i gave the quan a try, the marathon-ness was a little off-putting for me too, but I liked what I heard. it's crazy how much influence he's had over the ATL scene, everybody sounds like him now, from Lucci to Quavo, even Lil Durk's recent trap-ified stuff

yeah, i think he's never gotten his due since he never put out a "classic" and his output was so all over the place when he was flooding the market with tapes, but looking at the time between Tha Tour Pt. 1 and now, his imprint on the scene is undeniable.

(i also think he's ended up more influential than thugger since his style is so much less auteurist)

that song by derez deshon "hardaway" that is pretty big for a MOR rap song is like a 1:1 rich homie rip off

it's like the world collectively felt quan's absence and reached for a replacement w/o realizing that the original was still putting out music

Hardaway is a better song though. Quan's instincts aren't as sharp as they used to be.

maybe if you repeatedly promise that you will never stop goin in, but you go a year without releasing new music, it feels like longer

Hardaway is a better song though. Quan's instincts aren't as sharp as they used to be.

it's ok. it feels kinda cheap to me. "changed" is much better to my ears but \(o_O)/

yeah idk, Hardaway feels like it lives and dies by its hook. Even at his most inessential on the new album (which definitely does not include Changed), Quan's stuff always feels more lived-in

yeah, im not the hugest fan of Hardaway, the hook is fine but it falls apart in the verses. i definitely don't think it's as good as Changed or something like YFN Lucci's Heartless

^^ or, speaking of Lucci, Everyday We Lit, which absolutely killed it with the quan vibe last year imo

yeah the Quan album sounds really flat and samey to me. Really screams for a "Flex" or a "Walk Thru" but there isn't a song of that caliber

Quan's style of emotive singing is really effective when you're singing about something worth being emotional about, which I think is why "Hardaway" works. But ironically Quan himself is really indiscriminate about employing it. His voice will break like he's rapping about a fallen friend even when he's just like, rapping about routine finances

Evan R otm x 2

i think hardaway is closer to Lucci than Quan. It sounds an awful lot like "key to the streets" which was massive last year

two years ago?

It was still pretty big last year, at the very least. Wouldn't you say that Lucci is influenced by Quan though? Their styles of emoting are pretty similar, and Type of Way is the first song I can remember that did it like that (remember when Quan and Future were beefing because people thought he was biting Future at the time, though? lol!). His new album is a hundred times better than the new Quan is either way.

Really enjoying the Cardi album. Interesting that the collabos with Kehlani and SZA are among the best tracks on the album. Why aren't there more collaborations like this between female artists - queen bee faceoffs excepted?

Somewhat surprisingly, the Lil Xan album also sounded good on a first skim.

Holy shit there's a new Husalah album

yeah and it's better than what i expected.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it a lot more than the e-40 & b-legit on the first listen.

the e-40 & b-legit is boring, sadly.

I'm about 1/2 of the way through it and it sounds good to me, but im good with them just trading bars over sparse beats.

b legit 2nd verse on this >>
