rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

i turned of that roc marciano after like 1.5 songs. tbf i knew going in it was likely not_my_thing so ymmv

okay i'm assuming "stop it five" is the big vado song....i'm listening to it.

like i don't get why this "progressive"

it sounds like dipset, maybe a little more like, i dunno, jeezy or something. it just sound like a current rap song.

why is this more progressive than roc marciano?

btw i actually like this pretty much, just wondering at what y'all definitions of what's moving shit forward is

xps pretty sure lex would give you a whole long list of people he considers bad pop stars, but your point remains

weird the youtube comments to that vado song i posted are all arguing about whether or not "five" means some five pointed blood star and whether that's really a blood thing and whether cam's really a blood and whether east coast bloods are real and etc etc

this is kinda hot

i have no credibility. this is news to no one.

vado is clearly not progressive. cam/vado have progressed the post-dipset/post-mixtape ny 00s sound though mostly because of araabmuzik and just by creating a genuine new movement by themselves. it sounds new. noz and tom breihan are not the thousands of people out there that are checking for new cam mixtapes and spouting catchphrases that his new underling created.

im not gonna come on here and say who isn't a good rapper or an exciting/progressive whatever rapper because 99% of what's out there is boring and we all know that.

lol u fuckin herb

this is way better than the stop it five song...really like the beat...shit, the beat almost reminds me of old DJ Shadow kinda haha, but a more street version

sucker for a big l hook obv

also when some guy named Roc marciano is getting hype, you know there some sort of void...so maybe youre right a little bit but i still think the second two entries in this trilogy are genuinely exciting, progressive music for this space

yeah im a herb on the internet

rip digga you dropped one almost perfect album and then got knocked up 12 times by an outsida

xp I think u just got outherbed tbh.

huh i guess he was in flipmode 9 yrs ago

yeah what's the point of ever writing about why a rapper is good! what is this?? a freakin writing class???

especially when you can talk about how cool their ad libs are

LILBTHEBASEDGOD LOOK TO SEE "LIL B" WITH RARE FISH AND ANIMALS NEVER SEEN BEFORE!! RARE COLORED JELLY FISH http://youtu.be/PF70fYCFKE4

since I don't have sound right now, I need you to tell me who he looks like now (that causes him to have hoes on his dick)

i'm gonna listen when i get home

this lil b freestyle is just as bad as any random kid posting freestyles to youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk5qHS6MByQ&feature=related

the distinction between him and any random youtube kid is pretty tiny imo

yeah but he is really "based" i guess

pretty tiny pants

dude honestly if you need people to "articulate" why a rapper is good before you can even entertain whatever criteria you may use for your own taste thats fuckin weird

and no one is really out there calling vado a great rapper. just simply enjoying the music

still, vado is better to me than big krit, freddie gibs, wiz kalifa, currency and all them.

it's not like i'm looking for an essay on vado -- but everything i've seen written about him is basically "no, dipset isn't as good now, but... SLIME" to which i go "yeah i'll just listen to this against me! album again"

"slime" is kind of nore's word, isn't it? vado should give it back imo

as perhaps the only person in the world who stanned for Sheek Louch's last album i'd like to know what the hell is going on that Def Jam supposedly just signed him

can't wait for his single with chrisette michelle

can't decide if disturbing tha peace or g-unit have saddled def jam with more awful third-rate weed carriers

i'm not even sure how/why there are all those G-Unit artists listed there, since G-Unit is part of Interscope (which is technically the same company as Def Jam but generally has a whole separate roster).

needs a poll really

hay willynorthpole! hey buddy you had that one song with all the tattoos in the video that was pretty good :)

who is pittsburgh slim?

haha this nore/vado slime song is pretty hilarious and awesome, nore's verse reminds me why i love that fool

interesting post

NEWSFLASH: Once a song has been leaked onto the internet, it’s a wrap. It’s over. There’s nothing you can do about it, and by asking a few bloggers to take it down, all you’re doing is pissing off those few bloggers in your futile attempt to stop the unstoppable. If you go online and see that your song leaked, the best thing you can do is fume for a minute, get it out your system and keep it moving. Anything else is a waste of everybody’s time. You can continue to deny this undisputable fact or you can accept it, it’s up to you. I know the internet is this big mysterious beast that is sometimes beneficial to you and sometimes not, but you are never going to be able to control it and once you understand and accept that, we can all move forward.

not that this is super brilliant on either of our parts, but i think i've been saying this for like seven years now and am amazed it still needs to be said at all.

yeah i assume at this point that c&d letters are more symbolic than anything

currensy is much better than Vado. i dont know about the rest. Vado sounds better than krit or gibbs i guess

Vado sounds better than krit

after all that?

'better' is the wrong word. vado sounds like himself. krit still has identity issues

But then there is the issue of unsanctioned, premature leaks. These are the songs we are most likely to get C&D’d for. These are the tracks that are unfinished, or were stolen and leaked against the wishes of the artist or simply aren’t supposed to be out yet. So we’ll get our hands on them, post them and then end up having to take the song down. And it’s at this point that some of us go on Twitter to complain (read: cry), or start drafting a big angry blog post about why the label that threatened us is the devil, or whatever. And then neutral folks who don’t blog or record music (civilians) read those rants and say to themselves: “Shut the fuck up crybaby blogger, you have nothing to complain about, it was never your music to post in the first place, yadda yadda.”

And I guess that’s understandable. We probably do come across like colossal douchebags at times. But what folks don’t understand is that there’s usually a deeper, underlying reason for our anger. For one, how the fuck are we supposed to know if a song isn’t finished, or wasn’t sanctioned for release or whatever? If you don’t pre-emptively tell us, “hey, you might come across a leaked copy of so-and-so’s song with so-and-so, can you please refrain from posting it”, then how are we supposed to know? The vast majority of you label people don’t communicate with us on that level, but yet you have no problem sending us unsolicited, boilerplate emails when you have some wack radio single you want posted everywhere. So we get a song, post it and then turn around to a fucking legal threat from some fuck head suit in our inbox and we momentarily spazz. So we’re human, fucking sue us (kidding, please don’t).

^^ this is monumentally infuriating horseshit coming from a site who has, many times, posted some track totally upfront about "this is a guest verse Kanye recorded for an uncompleted song" or "these are T.I.'s scratch vocals for a Dr. Dre record" and is part of a so-called 'new music cartel' that constantly crows about their WORLD PREMIERES of frequently stolen/hacked music my major artists and, like, tagging the audio or making special artwork for their 'exclusive' leaks of someone else's song like they're a fucking label or something. these sites probably get a song and post it in a matter of minutes if not seconds, but the onus is on the label to send out pre-emptive announcements of "hey this track is out there but please don't post it"? fuck. outta. here.

you're pretty otm

my=by

i probably come off psycho about this but tbh the idea of any musicians, even spoiled rich ones, not being able to record anything without some studio mole rushing every demo and rough mix out to the whole world is fucked up. plus i have to wonder if anyone is even making money off these kinds of scams -- at least in the 90s a rap bootlegger stood to make a nice profit if he got an early copy of a big record, now what's even the motivation besides just having more more more content that'll slide off the front page in 8 hours no matter what anyway?
