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'
― david cam'ron (tpp), Monday, 8 February 2010 17:50 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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.

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

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
― joe ic?y (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 9 February 2010 04:16 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

im guessing this works
― average gangsta rap from average gangstas (deej), Tuesday, 9 February 2010 04:35 (fourteen years ago) link
& 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

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

(oops except jay electronica i guess)
ha was gonna say
it's weird to see curren$y doing a no-nonsense low budget black & white video in rotation alongside "BedRock," like a really extreme contrast of the road he took and the road he could have taken
