i think a lot of folks around here looking for an 'in' to this bay stuff would probably enjoy Husalah; he's got a genuinely eccentric personality & his 'hustlin since the 80s' is one of the best & most consistent LPs from this entire scenehttp://a418.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00920/71/43/920993417_l.jpgdudes looking like a san andreas character here

"mamaco" & "flyest gear" are both great tracks that are immediately appealing too. hes actually got kind of a manic ghostface delivery although hes def got a gullier lyrical style compared to ghost these days

his rapping on 'im a wild child' is pretty crazy too & definitely captures his off-the-wall style

yo goona make sure you vote in the ilx poll so we can get some rap on the list
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 03:01 (fourteen years ago) link
lol..."goons"
i think goons have enough influence on ilx that there will be good goon-approved rap on the list

after the results of my major label rap '09 thread i feel confident that the big ilx poll won't shit the bed rapwise with Blueprint 3 doing well or whatever

dunno if this is goon-approved but i'm kind of feelin the Jay Electronica mixtape.

anyone w/ the degree of hype he has is bound to be overrated but i think stupid fruity crazy swag auto goons are generally positive on the jay electronica issue

i just didn't think i'd ever rep for someone whose name is jay electronica, even if he references vonnegut

i remember you lobbying for goon/rap representation on that thread, but i dunno if it really woulda made a difference, i think that list was always gonna have the 5 rap albums that were on it, give or take, it's a given that it was gonna be a small part of the picture. whereas i think who bothers to vote in the 2009 thread has a big impact on what makes the cut, and there's a lot more room for rap to show up.

Matt: are those the top selling rap albums this week? If so, yikes.
i've only heard the newest tape, but so far jay electronica rubs me as being a bit on the dull side. i can't really knock the production, since it's really beautiful and well-done and all, but it's more something i admire than actually enjoy. raps were similarly zzz.

RE: album sales - Do you suppose anyone else in hip hop is ever going to put up carter 3 numbers ever again? Or, at least, anybody we've ever heard of as of now?

drake
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 January 2010 02:15 (fourteen years ago) link
rev: yes those are the top selling rap albums of the week, second number is overall sales.
i mean, shit....as much hype as gucci's gotten and that's the kinda numbers you can do nowadays? jesus, that's like numbers in the early 90s for a Sadat X solo joint

if he doesn't put out a bomb of a lead single i don't see how he doesn't do huge, huge numbers -- maybe not 1m in the first week but something pretty astronomical for rap

well, eminem i guess....drake lol
i bet drake does about 350K...if he's lucky

he'll crush any first week number we saw this year, jay included
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 January 2010 02:20 (fourteen years ago) link
hmmm what was the best first week number? eminem? are we talking just rap album numbers or anyone's?
i smell a WAGER

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 January 2010 02:24 (fourteen years ago) link
OK so i looked it up...Eminem did 608K his first week.
you are saying drake can match or exceed that number.
woo boy i would serious throw down $20 against that my man.

i'm with matt on this wager
not surprised with gucci's relatively weak #s, what with him not having a hit single and GOING TO PRISON
― guardian nagle (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 02:50 (fourteen years ago) link
how is the young money album not on that list?
― samosa gibreel, Wednesday, 20 January 2010 02:52 (fourteen years ago) link
he did have a hit single, its called 'wasted'
im not surprised by gucci's weak #s because the only people that buy albums are starbucks customers. its like, the closer to an overlap a rapper has with john legend fans, the more hes going to sell
that does not correspond to actual popularity
― not a playa but i ilx a lot (deej), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 04:58 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i was ignoring wasted cuz it was a hit, what, six months ago?
