see to me this def feels like a big step further on the whitewashing scale than vanilla ice or eminem ever did

fart rap

the name 'mac miller' makes me think hes gonna come out wearing a no limit tank chain

if mac & master p had a baby, hed be a white boy named 'mac miller'

deej is REALLY into fratrap.tumblr.com

okay this is my first time listening to dude too

sounds like disney channel rap or something

are we sure this isn't just aaron carter using an alias

(re: mac miller)

this feels like the ilm equivalent of a new york times trendpiece

the interesting thing about that video is that even tho it's a white dude rapping they still managed to shoehorn in a scene where a nerdy white dude gets in a circle and does bad dancing and everyone is like "lol white people"

haha, i didn't watch that long

they see Nas as the most recent musical prophet in a line stretching from Jimi Hendrix - > Bob Marley

this part is prob true

i don't see any evidence that these guys are popular at all, let alone moreso than OF

that mac miller knock knock 'kool aid' video has nearly 5 million youtube views

just fyi

frats like andre nikatina

I thought

we're old

i know ppl listen to mac miller cuz i've heard his name prior to this outside of ilm

qed motherfuckers

ime frats used to like popular rap. ludacris. 'big pimpin.' but frat dudes dont care about, like, black eyed peas and flo rida now

mac miller's 'donald trump' video came out one week ago and has more than 1 million views

is mac miller signed?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74TFS8r_SMI

and the song sucks too!

sam adams 'i hate college remix' has 5 million views

this guy is really way worse than asher roth

for scale, the 'yonkers' video was tweeted by kanye west and still doesnt have 3 million views

and sam adams afaik hasnt been on national television either

tbph i find his flow on "donald trump" generic enough to be inoffensive, and the beat's not bad; i could see something like this, but with an actual hook of some sort, being a hit

(nb I said flow not lyrics — if i tried to pay attention to the latter i would get rolling-induced eyestrain before he stops to take a breath)

mike posner has hits, i wouldn't be surprised if this other stuff became popular

i don't find it very interesting tho bcuz it pretty much exists in its own universe

take over the world, watch ilm get mad

sam adams has been around for a while -- i'd seen his name before

idk what else to say about this stuff

it sucks

btw i think it's wrongheaded to say that frat guys aren't into popular rap anymore -- these types of dudes are into drake, kanye, wiz and cudi especially

lupe is gonna sell 250k albums this week, i think males 18-25 are prob a large part of his fanbase

wiz is a big point of crossover tho

i don't see any evidence that these guys are popular at all, let alone moreso than OF

this seems to be otm

xp that's just regional tho -- someone in cali would say the same thing about jerking

anyway these types of dudes have popularity, yes -- how much popularity i have no idea

i heard about sam adams via this (black) aspiring rapper dude who is in a frat that would sometimes link to his shit on facebook (this was before i hid him from my news feed)

i think i just turned old

We opened for lupe at a small white liberal arts college last year. 2000 ppl or so. Jordan is correct in his assessment of lupe's audience

The reason why wale's album bricked is cuz he and his label tried to connect with that market but I don't think he's fratty enough

His restarted career with maybach music seems to make more sense to me

j0rdan i know lupe & those guys are big w/ frat audiences too.

i think this is a break w/ that though ... these are artists who are frat-popular w/out being otherwise popular

this shit is appalling, want to declare 100% allegiance w/goon crew on this, but "more popular than odd future" = because of YouTube views? not sure that's really a reliable gauge of popularity, tyler's on national tv, these guys are Popular On The Internet

lol IOW co-sign w/deej's last post. frat types are into all kinds of lame shit that normal ppl are repulsed by

pun probably intended fuck it.

great piece

can't stop lol'ing at this photo tho

it's like something from the onion graphics department or one of those horrifying face swap apps

they lost me at "handsome ectomorph".

but for me this whole style reminds me as nothing so much as the various christian analogues of popular culture. the veggietales approach to hip-hop.

i need to catch up on Mac Miller real quick like.

started out frat rap, somehow worked his way into (quasi-?)credibility, critics about-faced on him at some point, now is putting out his "soul" album...does that sound about right? or no?

has he legit gone from joke/horror to decent?

He was never as terrible as people made him out to be. He did the whole "little brother discovers your Native Tongues CDs" thing well on Blue Slide Park

He sucks and he's always sucked and the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around

i don't know if i can listen to a mac miller album title "the divine feminine"

i can technically i guess but i never will

this one sounds like the death rattle of tasteful milquetoast kaytranadawave r&b

'watching movies w/ the sound off' is pretty neo soul influenced too but is good

it's funny that writers are buying the "it's a feminist album!" angle hook line and sinker when he put fuckin cee lo on it

lol

jeez

the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around

lol this is very true. But I found his old puppy dog on the playground stuff kind of likeable; it's his newer attempts to be an adult artist that are insufferable. He gets worse each year imo

lol this dude let himself be shamed into becoming an artiste when he went platinum on the frat rap circuit

chose a life of small stinky rooms full of earl sweatshirt fans over boning sorority girls in bathtubs full of money

tbf i'm not sure he could have sustained that audience

also, boning ariana has to count for something, i guess.

is she the one who said she hates america then licked a donut if so then yes, our most important celebrity

don't forget the (alleged) time she smiled winningly at her fans as they mobbed an elevator then when the doors closed wished out loud for their death. that was the one that converted me.

an inspiration truly

i'd bone

wld bone, follow into battle, ascend to the next level of consciousness etc

idk i think i like this album, although yes the idea that this is some feminist awakening does not really jive w/ the content

if the Watching Movies one is similar but better, maybe i should check that one out

Ariana's skit on SNL where she did vocal impressions was pretty great, these two seem like maybe they deserve each other

rip Mac Miller

Probably should have posted this somewhere other than a thread about "Frat Rap". I thought this was a joke at first.

It's being discussed in the "rolling face tat" thread (...I know)

lol

frat rap more like frat crap amirite

oh whoops i didn't see why the revive ... my bad :(

lol

omg chet!
