lol i never realised husalah's name was as in hustler - had been pronouncing it as though it was an arabic name
i thought this for weeks! and thought it was a v pretty name on some "i might call my kid husalah", the penny dropping was a let-down

Any suggestions on where to start with Mob Figaz as a group, or are the solo albums the only ones worth hearing?

I rarely talk to anyone about rap offline, except for my best friend, who mostly hears about stuff through me. Basically most of the people I currently know who are into rap are herbs who look at me sideways for ever having liked Jay-Z. Hard to sell those types on Waka Flocka Flame, you know?
describes my situation pretty much exactly, except my one best friend is getting pretty exasperated with ignant rap, (*sighs* again with the oj da juiceman dude?) everyone loves plugging my i-pod into the car speakers when we drive around but it would never occur to any of them to listen to any of it independently or in any other context.
i had the impression it was different in america, though. i live in canada so i get pretty much no exposure to rap zeitgeist besides drake or kid cudi or electro djs doing a milli remixes, i was under the impression that this shit got spread around. like not necessarily big krit, but boosie and jeezy-level dudes must be on the radio somewhere, right? to people here stupid fruity crazy swag rap is as much of a hipster fetish as noise rock.
― tmi finney (samosa gibreel), Thursday, 15 April 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
I live in the Northwest, which culturally might as well be Canada.
It's worth noting that Jeezy, who does get played on the radio here, is much more popular than Boosie.

The Game kind of murders "400 Bars."
― rennavate, Thursday, 15 April 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
Between this and that new single from yesterday, I'm almost ready to be excited about a Game album for the first time in my life.http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X936OORX

i've never been the "report what's popular" kind of journalist - predicting the Next Big Thing is a mug's game imo - but "report what's good" seems to do me well enough. still proud that my featurette on minaj last may was basically the first time her name was mentioned in a UK publication, and now look where she is.

yeah i agree w/ this obv but another way to think of it is that when u are writing about music you are trying to communicate what things you think while hearing it that you think other people will identify with -- much as the artist has an audience, you do too. so being like, "i can see how this can connect with people outside of a, b, c" is interesting to me -- its such a difft way of thinking about music than trad music writing focusing on always being a reaction to 'the mainstream' or 'corporate rock' or whatever else
― The BoyBoy Big HOO$ (deej), Thursday, 15 April 2010 23:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Dude, I'm pretty sure all of the music writers who post itt try to do that.
― gucci mane leflaur leflah eshkoshka (The Reverend), Friday, 16 April 2010 00:38 (fourteen years ago) link
i didnt say they werent rev. im pointing out that imo, it matters how popular things are -- not to quality per se, but to how u write about stuff
― The BoyBoy Big HOO$ (deej), Friday, 16 April 2010 00:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Of course.
― gucci mane leflaur leflah eshkoshka (The Reverend), Friday, 16 April 2010 00:45 (fourteen years ago) link
above a certain level, sure, but few of the artists we're discussing have actually reached that level - popularity becomes an interesting thing when a rapper gets the kind of traction gucci got last year, or minaj is getting now. not whatever husalah or yelawolf are getting! that's more buzz from the uh cognoscenti, which would indicate quality.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Friday, 16 April 2010 00:51 (fourteen years ago) link
basically, we in canada and seattle and the UK really don't have any idea how popular rapper X is vs rapper Y beneath, say, the current minaj level, and to an extent have to take that on faith, but it doesn't really factor into how we hear their music

the only 16 bars that the game ever murdered was SNICKERS BARS on HALLOWEEN
― hoosalah (J0rdan S.), Friday, 16 April 2010 01:30 (fourteen years ago) link
"300 Bars" is classic for all time imo

i found out minaj was popular when my little sister came home talking about her one day

was pretty adorable actually, she asked me if "pussy on ya sideburns" meant that it was sexist
― tmi finney (samosa gibreel), Friday, 16 April 2010 02:22 (fourteen years ago) link
what would prob be sexist would be if i suggested that since her gestures saying this line demonstrate that she doesn't know what it means, she has a ghostwriter
