rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

yeah i'm continually pretty impressed with him. "september 17" is still one of my favorite songs of the year

speaking of veeze, apparently his mixtape is actually finally coming out on wednesday

(when i met babyfxce he played me a bunch of unreleased that was pretty incredible i thought, he has a great ear for beats)

“jersey luv” is getting run thru tik tok again, i really like this idea of making brent faiyaz club music

I dont love that

Chr#s Richards in Washington Post calls Veeze best rap album of year so far

Sometimes his mumbling approach sounds like it; other times it’s cliche . I dunno

sure but on "overseasballer," he says "my stash is colored, i edible arrangement the money"

r1ch4rds writing about veeze sounds really awful, gonna skip that one...

It is aoty tho.

oh yeah it’s a great record. i can’t stop playing “weekend”

I haven't had the chance to spend much time with it yet, but "cliche" seems like an odd criticism?

Some conventional rapper word choices by Veeze ( the obligatory n and p words plus d word and more . Some conventional beats . But yeah he’s distinctive and unique in his flow and sound on a lot )

wait… d word?

as in get off my d? lol

yes!

I can deal with all of that (although would prefer to never hear it again as old man me has been hearing that on rap records for decades) but the minute I put the album on in front of my wife or others, those are the first words that jump out at them

make rappers call people suckas again

ah ok fair enough, I'm familiar with that dilemma lol

mentioned a couple rap songs in the "11 fav songs of the moment" thread, might as well post them here too

kenzo b - "bffr," which is an irresistible throwback along the lines of "lip gloss" mixed with "1 thing"

that mexican ot - "barrio" ft. lefty sm, a bilingual banger that borrows a lot from regional mexican music (including the waltz time!)

earl sweatshirt - "making the band (danity kane)," produced by evilgiane who did the kendrick/keem jersey club track. earl hasn't been this lively in a while

the kenzo song is quite fun

rappers have been saying d lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5c3p7H0iw8

not the d-word!

speaking of that mexican ot, his "from the ranch" version of "johnny dang" is making its rounds on twitter. the man is outrageously charismatic, with those rolled r's. original song has a great paul wall verse.

really like this beat

I like the new Valee a lot

it's good yeah, but i preferred the more freewheeling vacabularee album from last year, which used beats from his underground collaborators like ayochillman and kiltkarter. harry fraud is fine, a good person to call if you want to make an album with structure and an action bronson feature

ha yeah well u know me

i'll check out vacabularee

the ot mexican is addictive, just listening to his spotify "this is" list...the rolled r's are so crazy i love it

oops that mexican ot !

lol yeah i swear he rolls other letters too sometimes

he's innovating

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/08/magazine/hip-hop-deaths.html

Danyel Smith’s nicely written ode to rappers and djs over the last 50 or so years who died too young with context about life in America

yeah that was a great piece

Tree - Free Tree is really great

I feel bad he's one of those guys I tend to forget about but every time I listen to him I love it

new babyface ray tape is his best in years!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXBJFp5vv5c

i'm sure you posted about this album 2 years ago when it came out but i saw the whole deal of est gee walking out on cosmic kev's podcast so decided to check him out.

ended up listening to the recent collab album with 42 dugg....i found est gee to be a charmless oaf for the most part but 42 dugg really popped with a zany energy, reminded me of boosie in a way but obv different style

ended up listening to young & turnt 2 and enjoyed it quite a bit

there are a couple gee tapes tha are pretty good, mainly thinking 'i still don't feel nun' and the first 'bigger than life or death.' definitely humorless but appealingly steely-eyed with some great midwest production. the dugg collab tape was just ok, and everything he's done since then has been much less distinctive, with the beats from guys like enrgy replaced by wallpaper trap dudes who are friends with yo gotti and shoehorned features from guys like machine gun kelly

dugg is a great character and the rap game has been a little less fun since he went to jail.

he and babyface ray are a fantastic duo, responsible for a few of the very best street rap songs of this era

"ron artest"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoB8C6TC6uU

"the streets"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQEnRh3kx0Q

"one of one"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd5Qe5eW12s

one of one was one that stuck out to me on turnt 2, I liked Ray's verse

I'm sure you're right there's better Est gee but I dunno didn't do enough for me to want to investigate further

def want to check more 42 Dugg
