(w/03 Greedo)

yeah the mach album (out tomorrow) is something special

the makers of last year's best ny drill song ("bent") have returned with a totally different energy. good as hell

oooh this mach-hommy album is great

montreal represent

more chill mcvertt from earlier this year that i missed til now!

Love the two 41 + McVertt songs! They did two of my favorite hiphop albums last year, 41 World and the Bandmanrill/Sha Ek/McVertt album.

that mike shabb song is a journey

the new bigxtheplug crew tape is a lot of fun, with some audacious soul samples, following the trend set by his whispers-sampling hit "mmmhmm"

"meet the 6ixers"

"the finals"

at the risk of coming off as a complete dilettante... is there a term for the relative looseness in recent flow styles? I realize it goes back some years, maybe even a decade, I hear it applied everywhere from Lil Yachty to KP Skywalka... a talkative off-beat vibe, off the clock

who started it?

Eric Sermon in 87 ?

Erick*

there's def something talk-y in his delivery, but rhytmically I'd say it's tight

DOOM is pretty loose on stuff like "Doomsday" but I'm looking for something... much looser

kp and the rest of the dmv crank rappers got their flow from goonew

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uE-s2Nm57U

historically, e-40 claims to be the originator of the offbeat flow, tho he has claimed to be the originator of a lot of things (some probably true, others probably not). there’s a whole host of west coast rappers who grew up on him and suga free

flavor flav on cold lampin with flavor flav is definitely dragging the beat on purpose at times

but overall E40 feels right....also the Hot Boys/early Cash Money

Oh yes, Suga Free! Very impressive how he lands some of those lines

Thx for the Goonew info

I guess there's a lot of potential originators, as always with these things

i remember this feeling really strange and cool when i first heard it, really stopped me in my tracks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww9VlmXKYgs

It's still wonderfully weird to my ears - and very much what I was looking for

goonew himself got it from hoodrich pablo juan

whatever happened to him? is he locked up?

i have no idea

this is really engaging, nice jazzy Native Tongue vibes

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

this is so good, beat knocks and esp love rowdy racks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gt6ApIv15A

loving that Mexican flow (which I first heard from That Mexican OT but again have no clue where originated)

a bit heavy on the misogyny rowdy?

psyching myself for new RXK tomorrow listening to Slitherman Activated

digging IAMGAWD, beat kinda reminds of Operation Doomsday type beats, good ass rappity rappin

41. glorilla - "yeah glo"

heard this in the car yesterday. love it

j.p. ep is out and it's a hell of a lot of fun. was floored by the sample used in the first song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tndfn6llAc

lots of other good stuff on here too

"oh yeahhhhh"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhJF8uDxnVU

"come and see"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaxsU3zVi0o

z money - must i go get it

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

chicken p - people's favorite

41 - tweak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1KyMjalAwM

bossman dlow ft glorilla - finesse

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

41 consistently picks interesting production. i thought they’d blow up after last year’s “bent” but it can be humbling to see how little of an impact ny drill and sexy drill makes outside of the tri-state area (lame don toliver songs notwithstanding)

Yeah, 41 is my new favorite band. Hate The Real might be my soty. Ambient jersey club, or something like that.

really like "not my problem" by laila!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuyOKUG8G7c

good cardi verse here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTFS58mHJh8

ok been a while but here are some songs i've been fucking with

chuckyy - "me vs. me"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Q-59Nmp3c

chicken p - "pyrex"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHnznwj9Yqo

dj quik & jasonmartin - "gurbs and youngs" ft. jay worthy & larry june
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKpk6Y2AWl8

icewear vezzo - "shifter"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM7teqDsTrw

maxo kream - "eye know"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_BtNF-xkEc

benji blue bills - "1942"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1tY5E1Ot5M

new veeze song is great, amazing beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iYPingx_OU

one of those lines where getting the name wrong makes it even better haha: "i'm ballin hard, i'm gettin fat, i feel like zion williams"

cash cobain problem megamix is out now. it was def more fun as a series of snippets. not everyone can do the sexy drill style, and the punchlines get repetitive over the course of 7.5 mins. the best verses come from cash's regular collaborators, flee and chow lee. lay bankz and yn jay acquit themselves well, big sean, luh tyler, fabolous, not as much. rob49's bit at the end is hilariously unhinged, idk how he manages to not rhyme a single word over the course of 30 bars even with the repeating sample haha.

found this really deeply boring as a full song lol. as a sample flip it's effective, as an 8 min posse cut it's kinda torturous
