omg that yelawolf tape is good. i think burnone is by default my new favourite dj, not only by virtue of putting out mixtape i like but by having the least intrusive and coolest sounding dj call. it sounds like one of those dilla vocal samples.

i still don't have the slightest idea who Big K.R.I.T. is and it almost seems like some elaborate prank that a bunch of critics are repping for a rapper with that name out of nowhere. i read deej's long post about him but it was 90% about other rappers and didn't really tell me anything about the guy.

i like burn one and love his blog obv, but i feel like his mixtapes (which are fantastic) are a godsend for a specific crowd of bloggers/web "critics" who's real touchstones for listening to music are the ALBUM and who really come from an indie background. they're safe. granted the music is great and he's getting incredible stuff out of the rappers he's collaborating with and putting a spotlight n some really cool guys but mixtapes come out every fucking day, just because this guy's have fewer drops and resemble traditional albums and have NICE ALBUM COVERS (v. important to this imo) that make them look more like albums I think he's getting attention from a whole bunch of people online who need him to hold their hand as they discover "country rap tunes" (even if it's through this whole new generation of post ugk/8ball&mjg rappers who are running with that and obv never were cosigned by pimp c)...

at this point there might be almost as many people doing 'street albums' w/ slick art and original songs as there are guys doing quick and dirty freestyle tapes with mixtapedia-worthy covers, so if someone's getting hype doing that they're probably doing something more than just that.

I know you were just giving a straighforward answer to a simple question, but this kind of gets to where I was going. I miss having a 'way in' to new rappers w/ a lot of these new online/mixtape cats, whether it was just a single or signature song, or a backstory or an affiliation . those things are sometimes very surface-level or have nothing to do with the quality of their music, but they were still concrete things to latch onto. now it's like, sure everything's free, it only costs you the time to download and listen to it, but why should i bother? sorry, i'm ranting.
― some dude, Sunday, 3 January 2010 17:28 (fourteen years ago) link
xp to SD
good point, and i def think he's doing a lot of things 'right' but the level of slickness is higher here then just being another round of 'street albums'
also, there's no fucking way there are almost as many slick street albums than dirty freestyle datpiff drops when a guy like Allstar can drop about 5-6 mixtape sin 09 and none of htem make a blip until the one with burn one. just one example.
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Sunday, 3 January 2010 17:29 (fourteen years ago) link
well not as many releases, i said as many people, obviously the dudes doing more traditional quickie mixtapes are gonna turn out product more frequently
― some dude, Sunday, 3 January 2010 17:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i would like to honestly know the relationships of a dj that makes these more crafted web albums vs one who doesn't and if producers like mick vegas or whoever are keeping their best productions for the better crafted mixes for someone like burn one rather than giving them out for rappers' quickie mixtapes. because if that's so then there could be a good argument to be made that these are in fact more valuable as artistic statements or whatever
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Sunday, 3 January 2010 17:42 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe i'm naive or just disinclined to give the DJs that much credit but i always assume the relationships are primarily between artist and producer as far as picking beats and releasing songs, and that the artist just decides whether to do a quickie mixtape or a more crafted album-ish one based on their own career plan.
― some dude, Sunday, 3 January 2010 17:46 (fourteen years ago) link
this is kind of what we were talkin about in the simon reynolds thread.
there's no easy way to get into new rappers, and i don't necessarily see it as a bad thing if rockist dudes start finding out abt ppl because they start putting more energy/time into making mixtapes that sound and feel like albums. One coherant statement is way more impressive to me than 6 mixtapes
I mean, I def would rather have rock crits repping dudes who put in the most effort to an album rather than this blogger/diplo/Fadermag Harry-Smith-of-the-streets shit where ppl act like christopher columbus when they "discover" regional rap trends and bring them to the attention of whiteys

Having lived with 'Trap Goin Ham' for quite a few years now, I finally decided to check out The Refill properly this morning and was surprised to find that most of the tracks on there are approx twice as accessible as that song. TGH always struck me as kind of lo-fi, and digitally rough round the edges. But the Refill is remarkably poppy. I haven't heard much about Pill since the days of this thread and the EOY poll it featured on. Has he been very active?
