19 weeks on the hip hop/r&b chart. stuff moves slow.

i gotta say i do a lot of *pats back* for being ahead of the curve on rap shit but damn if i ever guessed that song was a future hit when i first heard it

i liked it with the b/w video straight away but i literally never think "wonder if this is gonna be a hit" like u apparently do first thing

im talking about hearing it tacked at the end of a gucci mixtape, i was like "ehh skip" not "amazing song -- wouldnt be surprised if this was a hit"

by the time it had a video &, like, some momentum behind it where u actually heard other ppl playing/discussing it thats a diff issue

pity they didn't make a video for "birthday" or release "don't front". i guess d boy blues plays the emo semi-autobiographical angle tho so it's a good choice in the sense of showing there's that if anyone is paying attention. i still listen to that album a lot but i skip around like crazy.

yeah i can see how u could skip it in that context initially

he sounds kind of like a less lyrical krit, I guess? I like the tape but I'm not totally wowed by it

i got this same vibe actually. the tape didn't make much of an impression but i definitely thought it was ok, should listen again. "tall" is still great obv

definitely don't even think of mixtape cuts as even potential singles but i guess that's dinosaur thinking, things have changed with shit like "best i ever had", "wasted", the impact of the "trap goin ham" vid was single-like, that fuckin ancient kid cudi cut, prob more examples

xp i love Tall. was actually relieved not everyone was feeling the full tape so much, since i'm left out waitin for no dj :D

seriously fuck dj holiday tho

i would be okay with his existence if he didn't tag his mixtapes like a fucking retard

lol how did you not like him shouting out SHRIMPS!!!

was actually surprised how few tags were on this tape tbh

ha, i meant "tag" in terms of how they appear in itunes in all caps & with no artist or album & shit

his drops are annoying but not nearly as bad as 'the writing on the wall' which makes that nearly unlistenable

lol SHRIMPS!!! was he shouting u out or just on some young dro seafood gastronomy

I was inwardly lolling at all the HOLIDAY SEASON, YOU SHRIMPS! and etc

tbh that stock crazy siren sound he employs is pretty hard, can't stand it when he'll run the track back after a few bars tho.

i think its a dope effect on the first track of writings on the wall. in the club shooooo nuffff liiiiike teeellllaaaaa

"2000 & Beyond" is dope

Currensy has used his verse on "No Wheaties" before :-(

posts very much in character:

meaning, that song is dope

Green Ghost Project is killin it so far

Styles & Rae on that Sigel beat = AGL

my friend wrote this piece, btw. he's this amazing poet-stoner-god type who edits books for City Lights...i talked about J Stalin with him a lot the last time we hung, it was pretty awesome.

hes had some great articles on bay area rap in the paper the past few years

true, i clicked thru on his name after that article and read some of his earlier pieces. he seems more interested than is usual in grasping the whole rather than some salient point in it.

deej i liked your j stalin review a lot! "don't front" is def my favourite too.

i also mistyped that as "j stalkin" at first

Is New Orleans bounce music just a historic old-school thing at this point, or are some of the rappers (and new younger ones?) still relevant? The below is from a press release I was e-mailed. Thought you goons might know...

Street-level New Orleans dance-party hip-hop arrives at SXSW 2010 with an official showcase and a groundbreaking multimedia exhibition. The New Orleans Block Party bounce package tour has partnered up with the “Where They At” photo-documentary exhibit at SXSW to unleash a full weekend of ass-shaking action NOLA-style.

Bounce music is raw, irresistible hip-hop dance music born in the streets of New Orleans with deep roots in that city’s Mardi Gras Indian and brass band traditions. The New Orleans Block Party is a cavalcade of 7 pioneering New Orleans bounce artists, produced a by a crew of local DJs and promoters making their first appearances as SXSW after careers that top ten years rocking the streets and clubs of New Orleans.

About Where They At: A Multi-Media Archive of New Orleans Bounce
Documenting the Latest Indigenous Musical Genre To Arise
From the Streets of New Orleans
A Collaboration between Aubrey Edwards and Alison Fensterstock
March 5 – March 21st at the Birdhouse Gallery, Austin, TX
“Where They At” is an exhibition that portrays the founders, architects, and players in New Orleans hip-hop and the uniquely regional rap known as bounce music, a phenomenon that evolved from the communities based in the city’s housing projects. Photographs, audio recordings, oral histories, tapes, records and video footage compiled by photographer Aubrey Edwards and journalist Alison Fensterstock document the passing of seminal beats from New Orleans music traditions to a new generation in the late 1980’s, and the creation of this new voice in Southern roots music.

i've gotta say i've bumped this alley boy a few times now and yeah there is some good stuff on here but i don't really rate him. i don't hear the gucci influence at all?! i hear rich boy, jeezy and as he is keen to point out: 50 cent. i'm not an anti-autotune guy but there its use on this mixtape is dire imo. there is stuff i like tho: 'BIG', 'Play Your Position', 'Throw It Up', 'Money To Ceiling' and 'Tall' basically all i can think is how much better these songs would be if it was rich boy instead of alley boy haha

dj holiday reminds me of 'the situation' from jersey shore

'Play Maker' is huge actually and i can hear the gucci influence here

i just meant conceptually 'tall' was a gucci song

i agree w/ tpp basically. although i dont really think these songs would be better w/ rich boy in their place, theyd be ... the same

haa i love that theyre doing videos from mixtape tracks now

i've always wanted to write an article about mr. boomtown's videos

good song

no Lady GoHam, no credibility. wow @ the letterboxing, that's some Cinerama style.

@curmudgeon: yeah it's still relevant in NO. some discussion of that project &related in Homosexuality and Hip-Hop : The Gay Rapper Thread

so much great hair in this thread. I appreciate that 'england' shirt too. are there many female dealer > mcs?

noz on formspring

Yeah. Cam is probably the most influential rapper of the decade. Unless you want to count all that horrible whisper flow crap that Jay started.

pretty sure the transient is hitting on me there.

that said im having a mod remove my name from this thread

what is that from?

http://www.formspring.me/noz

if that's the same guy i'm thinking of, he's genuinely creepy imo. had twitter accounts directed at sarah silverman and jean grae almost exclusively, very strange stuff.
