rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

also i recently decided i like 'quarantine' more than 'coke wave' just fyi -- theres also a quarantine nodj version out there

new free DJ Fresh tape is uneven -- some of his beats are a lil bland -- but im feeling these a lot:

keak da sneak - cop heavy
cousin fik - pow (whoaaa at beat switchup - heard this is produced by whole shabang not fresh -- confusing since hes using his dj/producer tag interchangeably??)
turf talk - reputable

plus of course d-lo's 'bizness hype'

deej nah i haven't -- been trying to come to terms with the hip hop of today's swaggerific young ppl - odd wolf and waka flocka

but sounds good i gotta check it

oh boy

id be more outraged but its p much unreadable & tldr

yeah

plus he's repping for Drag-On and Asher Roth

that about sums it up

"For hip-hop heads, so much of what you can find on XXL Bangers or DatPiff or YouTube is so profoundly dissatisfying, you start mistaking it for hip-hop and hating it with the zeal of any disappointed ol’ believer. Gucci Maine, Gudda Gudda, Weezy, Yung Jeezy, Wacka Flocka, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, Vado, the new Unimproved Rick Ross & Fabolous, way way too much god-damn Drake: you seriously ain't missing a pissing thing unless you crave yet more gold-plated groin gyration, stoned self-importance, the endless repetition of ad-copy rhymes & in-da-club shoutiness. Ugh. More than any other time in rap history it’s apposite to ask yourself - do you actually NEED this shit in your life? Cos if you don’t, it ain’t hip-hop, it ain’t music, just like music ain’t music no more. S’just a promotional device for the tour."
Probably unsurprisingly, I don't find anything to argue with here.

unless you crave yet more gold-plated groin gyration, stoned self-importance, the endless repetition of ad-copy rhymes & in-da-club shoutiness.

i like all these things p much, except 'endless repetition of ad copy rhymes' but i dont really think thats a problem w/ most of the listed artists

fukk gudda gudda tho

see, this is why we have different tastes cuz i don't like any of that stuff!

and yes, fukk gudda gudda

bumped this thread earlier

the quietus : the new look

You aren't kidding.

i was kinda joking abt liking all those things, mainly bcuz im not really sure what 'gold plated groin gyration' is. it reminds me of kelefa making fun of dudes for worrying how "some rappers gild their phooey"

tbh i dunno what the fuck that means either unless he's referring to SWAG which i'm good and tired of

"gold plated groin gyration" sounds like jodeci

also re: ad copy rhymes - the dude's fucking name is GUCCI

i mean really

can i just point out yr siding w/ a dude who writes like this

That unwillingness to try and find a way round/through/above/against the grisly shitpile we’re dealing with when we listen to mainstream rap (coupled with the instant ease we all now have in hiding in our own personal playlists & undergrounds) has left us with nowt but an amused chortling; an ongoing dialogue of condescension/ironic-hyperbole with the lowest-common-denominator of rap, whilst the underground keeps flaming on unheralded.

& ppl say we cant understand gucci

whilst the underground keeps flaming on unheralded ------------------------- wait for it....

i ... dont have a joke

its funny enough on its own

The punchline is when he goes to bat for Charles Hamilton.

AND DRAG-ON

The Drag-On rep more mindblowing in a "someone is checking for him in 2010?" way than a "he is one of the most unrepentantly dogshit rappers I have ever heard" way.

Gucci Maine, Gudda Gudda, Weezy, Yung Jeezy, Wacka Flocka, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, Vado, the new Unimproved Rick Ross & Fabolous, way way too much god-damn Drake: you seriously ain't missing a pissing thing unless you crave yet more gold-plated groin gyration, stoned self-importance, the endless repetition of ad-copy rhymes & in-da-club shoutiness.

lol gtfo with this shit

gummi bares

the stanning for currensy is pretty telling because you know theres no way this guy gives him anywhere near a chance if pilot talk had come out on young money instead of dame dash's pseudo backpack label/artspace thing

"dame dash's pseudo backpack label/artspace thing"

yeah & im pretty sure he doesnt know about the swag trend, all his ref points for rap are really incongruous, i don't have the feeling he is really aware of things, just did some last minute googling ("what was that guy's name, joell ortiz? wonder if he's still around") most likely

idk i actually believe that he's holed up in manchester salivating over joell ortiz mixtapes

february 3rd: "the gorgeous sound-loungee that is DRAKE's ever-improving Heartbreak Drake series hits should-be-a-superstar-soon levels with 4 (check out the old stuff on the ThankYou tape to see how he got here)"

now: "way way too much god-damn Drake: you seriously ain't missing a pissing thing unless you crave yet more gold-plated groin gyration, stoned self-importance, the endless repetition of ad-copy rhymes & in-da-club shoutiness"

i love how fast this underground guy is awesome he's going to be a superstar turns into fuck this guy for being a superstar listen to ~the underground~ instead

Drake was already a superstar on February 3rd.

drake is pretty much the same as he was back then too except prob w/ better production

That's arguable, even.

the point is that there's no way you could go from loving drake to hating drake in that time period

I meant that him having better production is arguable, not that he's changed at all.

i know, i was just clarifying

Good morning. Can I help you?

IT BEGINS

this is the fruity swag thread, prob not much to offer you
