rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

lol @ the paranoia that a PROFESSIONAL SONGWRITER (one that helped take R&B closer to rap than ever before) couldn't have written a rap verse himself

tbh sean garrett rapping sounds like a much less terrifying prospect than him singing

Sorry, I thought Sean Garrett was someone else for a second. Got my names mixed up!

^^^totally one of the best tracks off that tape last year. why the fuck does the video use the tagged version tho??

gottdamn its good

This is one of the three videos (Mind of A Maniac, Brothers Keeper) we shot back in September 2009 during a weekend trip to Baton Rouge. After 4 hours of shooting we had to cut it short because of a meeting Boosie had with his lawyers and never got a chance to finish filming. When his best friend Bleek passed away April 1, 2010 we were inspired to revisit this footage because of his heavy presence in the video and come up with something in his memory. Per Boosie's request, we are releasing this unofficial video.

boosie >>>> gucci

that's the whole selling point!

boosie >>>> gucci

i am willing to bet that this falls directly along the pac/biggie fault line

who's pac and who's biggie in that equation?

i f/w boosie > gucci but boosie >>>>>>>> gucci is silly

i should say that the number of ">"'s i put in that was totally arbitrary and is not a scientific measurement

boosie is pac & gucci is biggie -- stylistically i think they break in the same sort of manner

i've made this comparison before though

i always think of it as like, if someone said "sooooooooo much better" xp

ah yeah i guess i didn't put much though into it.

weird i like biggie was more than pac, but boosie way better than gucci

ya i would maybe flip that analogy, based on delivery at least cause biggie & boosie are so much more emphatic. you probably have some good reasoning though, and i haven't listened to much tupac.

also boosie, biggie; biggie, boosie

weird i like biggie was more than pac, but boosie way better than gucci

quite the opposite here

who the hell was more emphatic than pac?

outside of maybe DMC, no one

this is me btw

i'll grant u dmc

obv this is a bit reductive but

pac & boosie (esp boosie of the past 2 years or so) rap from the heart in a real emotional manner about some real emotional shit, might make time for raps about flossing but everything really circles back to the guttural pain in my life type rap

gucci & biggie (excepting some obvious biggie tracks) rap about kingpin shit in a way that's flashy and dazzles you with wordplay/internal rhyming/imagery etc

that is a bit reductive

i know

yeah, i don't know, maybe emphatic isn't it. more like i feel they've got more dynamic, rounder deliveries. hard to explain, and also hard to prove to a tupac fan :P

rounder?

i'm going to go listen to some tupac to make sure i'm not just making this up, but like, gucci's general enunciation and delivery is pretty uniform, whereas boosie stretches words out and raps louder, more comfortable or adventurous with his vocal chords. like half the pleasure is just hearing his voice. i feel similarly about biggie.

jordan's analogy is more concrete and not maybe just my imagination, still feel like there's something here though.

my flows are pleasantly plump...KELLY OSBOURNE

pac does all that too tho. and i would definitely think of biggie's delivery as "more uniform" (tho obviously less so that gucci, who kind of makes a point of it) than pac's

jordan's analogy makes way more sense

on a side note, wiz khalifa was born in north dakota.

ok listening to tupac now and i definitely stand by what i said. it's got more to do with what type of rapper they are than some overreaching similarity dividing them from the rest of rap, and yeah gucci is definitely the worst of the lot in that regard (although i prefer him to pac)

woah 4 realz?? that's crazy

xp i can't even parse that

whatever, i think if you feel that

pac does all that too tho. and i would definitely think of biggie's delivery as "more uniform"

that's the opposite of how i feel and what i'm trying to express and it's just a matter of *perception* or whatever

no really, i don't understand what your previous post was trying to say

oh, just that i feel like these are broader categories i could fit a bunch of (maybe all) rappers in (those who have more straightforward delivery/vocalization and those who dont) rather than something unique to boosie & biggie/gucci & pac. and also that while i agree with you that gucci has the most uniform and least danymic delivery, i like him better than tupac.

ah okay, thx for clarification :)

np

so Rick Ross has been doing some interesting shit that I feel like is really similar to what (PARTLY) propelled Jay-Z to his current status as indie fandom's favorite stadium rapper by bringing in fashion/style/cultural influences from the vanguard of culture BUT he's actually rapping BETTER now than ever, rather than worse than ever, and also he's doing within a hip-hop framework rather than pop...like when Jay reached into the drake/kid cudi "hit songs by rappers that aren't rap songs" formula on BP3

kinda interesting, also curious that it doesn't seem to be making much noise (granted it's only been a couple songs and he had the misfortune of naming his first foray into this new style after a gaudy, way over the top Robb Report watch brand Audemars Piguet rather than the ultra-hip designers he's been name-checking lately)

also his new outfits are totally lol

all black mink puffy fur vest > all black anything
