rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

i could see dude becoming a major artist just by incorporating all the diff influences together that he works with

'all black everything feelin like a blind man' is good

yeah, that was my favorite line on first listening

"turn my swag on" is kinda like... drumma boy + wayne?

yeah this beat is wild

i think the hook is all soulja boy actually. that atonal sing-song is pretty much what he brings to the game.

i mean more in terms of rapping, the foreman grill line is like off our young money thread, the blind man line is gucciish
& he raps like post-lil wayne style, plus that lil b weirdo influence

the fast verse at the end is the best part imo, also kind of guccish

all black everything even my pinky ring
never say "who are we?" look at the jewelry

haha i wouldn't assign horrible george forman lines solely to young money

& yeah he explicitly bites gucci with the thunder/lightning thing

xp it's the construction, not the punchline itself

(although obv the punch is played x infinity)

"To beat me you're gonna need George and four men" is prob still my fav foreman ref, Punchline on Stretch & Bobbito, late 90s. </yrgrandpa>

future hit imo

i wouldn't mind hearing that all over the place

i'll just put this here

http://thequietus.com/articles/03662-this-month-in-us-hip-hop-by-neil-kulkarni

cut out the railing against nothing, the first six, often huge, paragraphs and edit the seventh and it seems okay to me as one guy's wrap up? think last time i read dude he was talking about the "nowness" of foo fighters tho so you know

lol i can't tell if he's joking repeating SR's "Yung Doc" line or not, i remember another response article at the time mentioning "the Gummi Bares" in earnest though.

this is kinda off topic

but have you guys ever read "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" by Jeff Chang?

loving this book, really well researched and really gives you the actual accounts of stuff that exists more as legend anymore, like kool herc's parties, the early 70s warriors-type gangs like black spades, nomads, etc; the rise of the zulu nation, grandmaster flash coming up, etc...

really good book

yeah it's pretty good on the early stuff building on Toop and Hager though the urgent journalistic style veers from compelling to kinda lol at times.

i liked the specificity of the research like drawing on NYT articles in the early 70s about fires and insurance fraud to give a sense of the bronx as this left for dead bombed out place in the wake of the cross-bronx expressway, plus the contention that the undermining of the panthers by cointelpro etc. created the vacuum for those pre-zulu nation gangs to form. never really considered that before.

all the bronx stuff was great, he seems to do a good job of research...also i didn't know how crazy jamaican politics and the gangs were in kingston

yeah he gets a little too effusive at times, writing wise...but lots of really cool little tidbits, like i just read a couple paragraphs on how some of the the graffiti pioneers are annoyed that history has made graffiti part of hip hop, when it predates hip hop and a lot of them didn't even listen to hip hop...then it says ZEPHYR and his crew actually listened to the Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna and were influenced by Roger Dean's Yes album covers...which totally makes sense if you think about how he did the Yes logos and titles so stylized, as being a real building block in graffiti writing

it's funny cos when i sat down and thought about it, i actually agree, hip-hop probably will outlive trip-hop

eagerly anticipating 'why UK rap still matters'

uk rap has been a bit rubbish since that awesome klashnekoff/joe buddha album.

cant stop wont stop was great. particularly all the ice cube lol controversy bits.

that column is lolsy but i am kinda digging this jojo pelligrino dude he mentions

i mean dude has a song called "triple homocide" featuring sean p and deck so...

"waco, texas
i ate yo breakfast
kick over the kid's stroller
while i take yo necklace"

effusive chang isn't, especially in the context of that quietus piece, but urgent isn't the right word either exactly, it's more like journalism written like fiction, almost like truman capote's in cold blood or the new journalism dudes. guy actually has a good prose style, i feel bad for finding it kinda lol at times when i've just gone easy on kulkarn1.

scrolled down and saw a flash ad for the new midlake album, xed out

huh?

that article. its dudes like that who make me want to give yelawolf no chances

on your boy's turf too deej

that's that fingerroll beatin out yr speakrrrrrrr

i would too \Oo/

pill - thoughts

some of the bay dudes are average, obviously, bu they're also not on the front cover of the LA weekly.

the jacka is exceptional, & he managed the cover of murder dog, but its not like anyone 'around here' (at least in the e-blog world that has made yelawolf a 'star') pays attention to murder dog anyway

sittin in the range with the frog eyes / aint nothin on me but all eyez

ive been listening to tons of jacka lately. becoming one of my fav rappers for sure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCMia3n5PKs

I said this last time I don't think that ya heard me I was puffing on some shit the same color as a bucks jersey

i live in the jects but got a house on the cliff
windows everywhere, im never there, im so rich
id rather live in a 'rarri on the foothill strip
never go into the house cuz the streets is the shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ELFmv3OMqY
jacka fire starter
you say ya hard but im harder
i birthed ya style why go against ya father
i like this rap shit but i love blood pits
let em hit for 50 gs they clothe and feed my kids
if mac dre was here i probably woulda signed to thizz
i got my own label now, i prolly sign my nigs
i do it B-I, but see I, rather be high
i smoke a zip a night while you searchin for a free high
im thirstin for a homicide, you search for a 9-5
im grippin grain, gettin brain got my top down in the rain
feelin amped as fuck cuz i been touchin caine with my bare hands
you see us outchea hopin one day we'll change
we dont believe in change

im probably convincing no one w/ transcribed lyrics of jacka verses -- his style definitely doesnt translate on paper v well

"aint nothing on me but all eyez" scans pretty well imo

what's his latest album/mixtape worth getting? i'm sure you mentioned it already but i forgot

i think the best one to get as an introduction is "shooterz" -- im pretty sure most of the stuff is from older things but the djs that compiled it did a nice job of picking out choice traxx & sequencing them entertainingly.

hxxp://djmvb.blogspot.com/2008/05/jacka-shooterz-2008explicitbootleggroup.html

im guessing this works

& yeah he has specific lines that scan real well -- i also like the 'rarri in the foothills one -- but his whole style is this kind of loose stoner-philosopher-murderer thing which is kind of loose & ephemeral

there are too many good jacka songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=illIb_fAX9g

tbh jacka is kind of in this cam'ron zone to me where i read the lyrics ppl transcribe and i'm like "dope!" and then i listen to them delivered and i feel let down

i'm really hoping deej's jacka fandom pays off in hilarious user names

louis jacka

hahaha
