rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

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

or maybe none of that is true i dont know

i guess "on the next one" is hip-hop more than pop and is arguably his most "avant" single/video from that group

haha saw that picture, figured he was going for an isaac hayes thing

yeah j0rdan & i have discussed that pac=boosie biggie=gucci theory before, it makes sense in a reductive way -- i think pac>biggie but gucci>boosie tho

yeah i think the analogy makes sense but i definitely don't think there's any correlation between people who like Boosie more also liking Pac more etc. (for me it's Boosie/Biggie).

rolling tenuous analogies thread

and anyway lil b is the new pac just ask these guys

the "slow down" beat is so fucking good, i wish every rapper would rap on it

"shoes fresh out the plastic/ clean as alexander mcqueen in a casket" is truly next level from the bawse

i was thinking of this more and more and last night it hit me that the pac/biggie analogy doesn't really work

cuz Gucci really most reminds me of a down south MF Doom, that's the rapper he most reminds me of

they both have these same cadences, very identifiable cadences they use a lot, and both sort of thrive on left-field punchlines and odd word choices

new TI bangs

yeah i was gonna say that there's a high probability that the album is awesome but then i read there's a new joint with keri hilson so who knows

den we landin laughin
chicks with fantastic asses

goons, I am behind on rap and making a list of albums/mixtapes I need to get around to checking

Devin the Dude
Fabolous
Gucci Mane
Reflection Eternal
Wiz Khalifa
Young Jeezy
Z-Ro & Friends

help me add to it if neccessary

the hilson-t.i. song is not good, but yeah know (takers) is dope

TI is definitely elevating lately.

he's going extremely hard IMO

also, could a goon send me an 77 invite? i started a new account.

The new Royce and Big Sean track is pretty nice. http://usershare.net/pcmpypjl09nr

"Leanin' on the moon with a Patron fifth playing my own shit... AND I SOUND FANTASTIC!"

you're all set Matt.

Have we talked about Lil B's "The Age of Information"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=corY-FZAZog&feature=player_embedded

The beat is absolutely gorgeous, and how it flips throughout the song? B's a fucking dope producer. And he's rapping on this... like actually rapping rapping. I like it.

Scratch that -- I don't like this. I love it. This song is fucking great.

yeah this is really good -- i like the dissonance b/w the primo-ish vibe of the track & then b rapping about the internet -- shit comes off like a cormega track tho -- weird & good look imo

i'm on computers profusely
searchin on the internet for answers
give it to me

^i feel this one deep in my heart

i like how he pitched down his voice a bit to fit the vibe of the track

And that rhyme scheme in the first verse? Damn! Like it's been a while since I've praised someone's rhyme scheme, but it's just such a contrast to B's normal speak-rapping that it's almost a shock.

yeah, we're gonna be staying on the moon
but there's still gonna be racists

^pondering this

yeah i would love to see an interview with him where he talks about why he does what he does, cuz he can obv rap 'normally' if he wants to and he doesn't lose any of what makes him compelling. & yet he rarely does it. even on this track he acts like if the first verses didn't even happen. what a guy.

Definitely. And like, most of what he's saying on the track has been said before a million times, but it doesn't sound preachy or pedantic... it's just fuckin' B, pondering this shit, to use your word, J0rdan. Like, he completely sells it.

I'm asking older people, "How you make it to your status"?
They laughin', cause they see reflection while I'm asking questions

And the best gift is to listen, learn math to count your blessings
