for me rap in 2010 is a handful of solid releases from mid-weight dudes (gucci, jeezy, z-ro & friends, ross) and some really promising debuts, and then cool subterranean internet rap nerd shit like lil b & odd future & young l bay slap. as much as i love that yelawolf tape i strongly believe the follow-up will surpass it, and it's going to be really interesting to follow him and like, roach gigz and and krit too. hopefully starlito, too. lots of fun to be had listening but most of my favourite releases are auspices of hope that some 10/10 world-defeating rap music is in the works
last thing i want to do is shit on big boi or currensy, just hope that people cast a bit of a wider net as barometer of rap in 2010. there are like seven enormous jams on sir luscious

this is kind of a weird incubator year, if that makes sense. but that mostly tells me things are healthy, even a lot of good stuff is not right at the forefront.

or even in its most developed state. like, there's a lot of potential in the air right now.

admittedly it hasn't been a huge year for rap tbh

o my ladies, o my gentlemen, let it be known that these are the words of a man whose response to any part of the 20-year career of e-40 is "no thanks".
o my fellow ilxors great and good, there is hardly then any need to put it to you that these are therefore the words of a man whose statements concerning rap cannot be trusted without the gravest of misconceptions ensuing.
idk man seems pretty good to me
― k'naamean (zvookster), Saturday, 28 August 2010 00:55 (thirteen years ago) link
the e-40 is dope. probably my #1 rap album still

i like the 'scope' beat its like 'everyday struggle' vibe w/ less hard drums
― NOT FUNNY NEEDS MORE GUCCI (deej), Saturday, 28 August 2010 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
i dig the "everyday struggle" beat -- the synths are a bit corny, but i don't see anything wrong with the beat as a whole
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 28 August 2010 01:13 (thirteen years ago) link
naw i love the synths -- they make the beat imo
also reminds me ofhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goTp_B8E92k

i love the production on this album (the live instruments are a great touch) but I still don't "get" curren$y completely... he's obviously a goo rapper but his delivery/voice is just soooooooo monotonous and boring. i feel like all of the people who've jacked his style (wayne, wiz, etc.) do "curren$y" better than curren$y does

this is kinda how I feel after two listens...it's like I wouldn't even mind if you went off on some backpack spaceshuttle out there type stuff but the tropes are so standard and he's got no swagger at all
(yes yes I know check the mixtapes out maybe I will, later)
― dayo, Sunday, 29 August 2010 11:10 (thirteen years ago) link
wow the e-40 album is massive
love love the beat on 'over the stove'
― ciderpress, Sunday, 29 August 2010 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
that twinkly arpeggio makes the 'life under the scope' beat for me and it's mixed too low to hear or gone completely in the youtube/single version
― ciderpress, Sunday, 29 August 2010 15:29 (thirteen years ago) link
currensy is allll swagger
