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.

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.

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.Learn more at http://www.wheretheyatnola.com/
Featured artists at SXSW: Ms Tee, Magnolia Shorty, Katey Red, Vockah Redu, Partners-N-Crime, DJ Jubilee, Big Freedia

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

'Play Maker' is huge actually and i can hear the gucci influence here
― david cam'ron (tpp), Sunday, 21 February 2010 14:47 (fourteen years ago) link
i just meant conceptually 'tall' was a gucci song
― average dump from average gangsters (deej), Sunday, 21 February 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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.

For example, in one of my favorite lines ever, Em describes impregnating J-Lo on “I'm Back”:
Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz It'd be Jennifer Lopez, and Puffy you know this! I'm sorry Puff, but I don't give a fuck if this chick was my own mother I still fuck her with no rubber and cum inside her And have a son and a new brother at the same time And just swear that it ain't mine!
As great as the passage is, other than mentioning that at the time Puff Daddy was dating J-Lo, there’s not much to add…“Well…he wants to have sex with Jennifer Lopez, you see, and he doesn’t want to use a condom…” No duh! Nobody wants to use a condom, you don’t need Rap Genius telling you that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-SYPaIzs9c
