cheesy-ass girl song in rotation on MTV Jams

years of trashing commercial rap & recording one of the worst commercially successful rap songs ever

rip joell, i stanned 4 u

"successful"

yeah, what?

rappers who don't like commercial rap are always the worst at it tho. the contempt usually shows by way of halfassing.

i stanned for joell too :(

i actually don't have time right now,

but i was kinda kicking around the idea of not listening to any new rap/hip-hop anymore.

young money represents a death of hip hop in a way i can't even really fully articulate, and though i do appreciate a lot of the dudes deej and others here have pointed out sometimes i feel like i'm just going through the motions of being a fan of current hip hop.

seeing lex and rtc talk about nicki minaj seriously on that thread -- and i totally understand that it's lex's job to like shit like that -- but god it's just...ugh.

imo get into davinci first, then give up

yeah check out who else is getting into da vinci

ty 4 dn

da vinci seems alright.

but honesty am i the only one that feel like this year's goon thread feels like going through the motions?

Haha I'm a lot more excited about new rap right now than I have been in a few years. I'm finding a lot of new stuff to like.

that's good! what in particular?

cuz i dunno mostly it seems like j0rdan and deej telling each other the rappers they like don't have any "buzz"

i've been as unexcited about rap this year as i have been in memory

im extremely unexcited about this year's crop of 'buzzed' rappers, im mostly just enjoying the past three years of bay area raps from mob figaz & livewire crews. thats basically all im feeling right now -- then going back & listening to old shit i missed out on.

oj's xxl advert alone makes the year worth it iirc

lol at deej contraristanning on cue

i just realized we've been having two conversations about two different rap artists named DaVinci

renaissance men

Jon Caramanica is touting in the Sunday NY Times today JayAre's "1,2,3" (of California Swag District "Teach Me How to Dougie" fame). Eh, it's ok.

why did so many rap writers start covering kiddie novelty shit. i say this as a dude whose first tape was 'totally krossed out'

lol @ contristanning = not paying attention to blog hyped rappers

i just realized that the rapper JayAre that people are talking about these days isn't the shitty jazzy rap group JayARE that shot a video at the club in Atlanta that my friend works at that we were laughing at the other day:

loool did not realize that was the paramore chick first time thru and just assumed it was some anon hook girl

ya same but when i saw the phrase "featuring Rivers Cuomo" i figured her name was worth googling

i feel like i'm waiting for the rap game to step into gear this year but not exactly sure what i'm waiting for

lebron flocka james

keith flocka sweat

etc

tom b.'s "state of the rap game" feature today is v good http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/7774-grind-to-get-it/1/

amongst those quoted: freeway, simon reynolds, david drake

Ha, just came to mention that.

Makes me think- are XXL/(Are the Source still going?) really covering regional rap? I'd love to see a regular column written by dudes in the know about various scenes and what is big in [this or that place] while I hate reading blog shit as I cannot tell the difference between them, bar the very cream of the crop (cocaine blunts then...). Are there any trust worthy writers who are easy to follow talking about just [this or that place]? Everything is kinda a blur right now.

i wouldn't read anything in xxl -- it's completely geared towards staying afloat and thus follows trends/movements & their popularity instead of tracing them out on a musical level while they are on the cusp of happening

fair enough, i haven't picked up a copy of either in... about 3 or 4 years now? I think the last copy I bought was the lol kingdom come jay-z comeback issue.

i pretty much rely on this thread -- don't read any blogs besides noz's tumblr (aside from shit like digital dripped or traps n trunks that just post music)

ya rap blogs have the lowest word-counts per post of, like, any other music blogs on the internet. i doubt dudes at dgb or trapsntrunks even listen to all the music they dump on their sites.

i miss having a sub to ozone... are they still worth picking up?

i'm okay with big boi's album being the '10 version of only built 4 pazz & jop ballots

word is that this is a storch production, which, wow -- big boi also drops the only funny shit/piss rap line in like two years
