rolling regional thug thread 2012

The bass crunches instead of hitting, clips out, sounds like a lo-fi recording (Sunday School is a good example). The 160 bit rate doesn't help.

Probably shouldn't have said anything as to detract anyone from getting it, cos its seriously good.

so much rap today sounds like shit, bums me out, that Na'tee Guess Who's Coming 2 Dinner tape i dl'd is horrible in this respect....

this Rich Kidz tape is real whatever, if you'd told me it was Diggy Simmons i woulda believed you

i mean fair enough, they are kids. but the difference is that diggy cuts a check to jeremih for hooks while rich kidz write a bunch of em on their own, all of which are better than whatever ppl are getting from jeremih

i think that rich kidz tape has a couple of really great joints at the beginning but then it tails off, re-working lines from the great tracks into mediocre hooks: 'all i know is real it's in my d.n.a', 'my whole team ball...no nba'... groan

I wonder if its just general ignorance on the matter or a conscious decision, probably the latter more often than not. Like Clams Casinos whole thing about not knowing or caring about bit rates or w/e. I feel like plenty of producers can make good beats, but not nearly as many have the knowledge/skill/money(?) to craft them so they sound pristine as well.

haha the gunplay mixtape is mixed sooo poorly, it makes you wonder if they even try and play their own music loud in the car

otm. can't listen to dj holiday tapes in the car at all

Man, that new KRIT is pretty weak.

yeah it is very boring

good to hear about the Action Bronson. liked Dr Lecter and "Well Done" (w/ Statik Selectah) last year.

the action bronson is basically the only thing i've listened to for the past day and a half

can't bring myself to listen to an action bronson album, everything about him is so corny

though i'm sure it's good or whatever

ha i don't know

i def get where you're coming from and i wasn't sold on the guy at all until very recently but i think this album is way too fun and hilarious to be corny

Def a fun listen, he is a good look for the boom-bap scene. I kind of want to dislike him but just can't.

i wanted to like him but never really thought he'd transcend his very obvious influences but idk dude just murders it this entire album

i dont understand how anyone could dislike action bronson

oh i could totally see it... for one he sounds exactly like ghostface killah

You sure it wasn't when he teamed up with RiffRaff that sold you?

i think there's a very fine line between having obvious talent as a writer and being a compelling, singular rap artist -- plenty of rappers from new york have grappled with this and failed

You sure it wasn't when he teamed up with RiffRaff that sold you?

okay i wasn't going to say it BUT

"very recently" was coded language in that regard

bronson apparently has an album with harry fraud already in the can which has shot up pretty close to my most anticipated albums of 2012 list

Def that^

also i guess one w/ statik selektah too but that's prob where the ny boom bap thing becomes a bit too much for me

the "sounds like ghostface" thing stopped mattering to me after like the 4th AB track i listened to

Visuals for Original by Mystikal Wayne and Birdman

Waynes pants when he's on the stairs O__0

that's kinda boring :(. Mystikal even sounds lethargic.

thats prob my favorite beat of the year

AND EAT MUH BARBEQUE

krit's getting better as a producer but he has turned into a deeply uninteresting rapper imo. i still like his voice a lot so he's best used at this point just dropping a hook or something a la "we buy gold", which is by far my favorite song connected with him this year. xps

Agree with that. With the right mix of guests the album should still turn out pretty good

or he could just do a whole record with Ball and G

the new wiz tape is cool... beats by cardo, lex luger, harry fraud, jake one and rob holladay (the guy who did love love vs hate love !) among others...

this Rich Kidz tape is real whatever, if you'd told me it was Diggy Simmons i woulda believed you

i think i just want to blame drake for the very earnest melodic direction a lot of swag rap has taken in the past year or two, it's a really unpleasant combination to me

wait, is sarge taking shots at jeremih?

also hold on i am thinking of verse simmonds

can i ask is that pronounced jeremy or jeremiah

neither

it's basically jeremiah with out the "uh" at the end

i'm taking shots at jeremih as a hired out hook singer, sure

the MYSTIKAL COMEBACK being sullied by 2012 YMCMB is a pretty fucking shitty bait-and-switch

okay this khalifa mixtape has a song with rick ross and amber rose

there is... a lot of juicy j on this tape

harry fraud beat on this is nice

best beat might be lex tho, he's good at sampling

this shit crashed datpiff

For those interested, here's Jiggas SXSW performance:
