J0rdan, Heroin is a p disappointing listen. 4 tracks from the cocaine bootleg that sound better in that context to this, and maybe three new cuts that are good, and one more, the ridiculous r&b/double-time sex rap "driving me wild", that i can't decide whether great or really terrible.

yeh so far so blunted. really atmospheric moods cast by the music and a.g. rhyming slow like his bones aching. it's the kind of music you'd hope he'd be making at this point in his life, cut him and he bleed hip hop, standing over everything and looking hard at lief, except maybe on a downer a little too much for the listener to get lost in the smoke. ~too real for the radio~

yeh i'm loving this and i think u should too m@tt. he gets lighter on the second half but even tho he's mellow throughout and even inflecting his voice in this melodic way, somehow the lived-in quality of it still contrasts with the haziness of the mood. the tracks come and go, drift in and out of each other, 17 in 43 minutes. two or three times someone else raps a whole track. it's like this new genre for former formalists, a black book for rap graf.

u cld def bracket this with marcberg and maybe shabazz palaces (need rev to weigh in) and in that case we can tell forks it's a Movement

yeah i am feeling that a.g. too. i got that mr pookie thing of emusic! going to listen soon. got too much i wanna hear! need to properly check out curren$y, e-40 and that rick ross. currently can't stop bumping 'renaissance gangster'.

aha sorry that's stuck in my head all the time
also i should clarify that i haven't even heard travis porter but i currently hate kid cudi and drake so much that if you even look like those dudes i am gonna hate u until proven otherwise

i really like r gangster but it feels like it drags a bit, even tho it's like 10 tracks. i guess they're all good tracks but it feels a couple too long, maybe because they're str8 up rap tunes and from starlito now i want a bit of crazy off the cuff stuff lyrically or bizarre squeals on the beat, "it's not sloppy enough" i guess, weird complaint. xpost

yeah word, the original is on i still love you, right?. gucci is incredible on this but lito kills it too
i definitely feel & can sympathize with some of yalls reluctance to risk an *openminded* listen to this tp tape, but seems kind of inconsistent to me that some of the people who were most outraged by that sfj piece last year are now all "pfft, you think i'm gonna spend thirty minutes of my time listening to rap music made by some kid from atlanta?"
tp are, like, the antithesis of freddie gibbs. and to me that's a good thing. just good fun rap music.

which sasha frere jones piece was i supposed to be outraged about?
there were quite a few
i'm kinda just goofing tbh, i'll probably check it out.

just notice that on the first verse of "ridin' around" by roc marciano he's TOTALLY copping a flow like "livin' proof" by group home

yeah if you took all the ICP related bands out of it, i would love to go to gathering of juggalos....actually i wouldn't mind seeing ICP once either, but sitting thru all the other artists on their label would be a grind...
plus obv. like i'm not going to gathering of juggalos

re: teflon don it sounds ok to me as an event rap album with all the big guests. the concept seems strangely dated these days. best jay verse i've heard in a while (not saying much). rick ross has def. improved as a rapper but is still pretty bad. i've listened to it a couple of times but can't see myself coming back to it really.
