rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

yeah it's definitely refreshing after the half decade logjam of some artists just sitting on the bench forever, but like even the cover art is starting to look especially slapped together on these albums

like there's seemingly nothing Def Jam is giving these artists (in terms of budget, exposure, quality control) that they probably couldn't get from E1 or even like fuckin Babygrande

yeah true, but they're under contract so what can they do?

thanks for reminding me to download that Sheek Louch ablum

i imagine some 22 year old white graphic designer fresh out of Pratt on the phone with Sheek Louch like, "Ok, you're SURE this is what you want?"

you have an active imagination

I'd guess SVA, but you imagine better than me

im imagining sheek louch pouring over the instruction manual for photoshop

"perhaps there is a 'gorilla brush'"

kind of loving this Plies(!) I learned about from noz's list

i was never really a fan of plies's r&b stuff, so it's surprising to me that that's what he's mostly known for. this is p. much what he does best, hook-driven songs that try to be hood but end up a little ridiculous sounding. like really really really from da hood doe!!

weird that dame grease is workin w/ whoever is managing all these dudes
but this is worth it for the kurupt part

That's an OutKast sample isn't it? And Kurupt is great as usual.

yeah true, but they're under contract so what can they do?

well, Sheek Louch just signed to Def Jam this year, and 3 of Ghostftace's last 4 albums were dropped like this, quietly in December with minimum advance notice or singles, so unless he's under some kind of 20-album contract he's probably not totally stuck there or anything

the sheek louch album cover is HILARIOUS

it almost doesn't do it justice to see it on the mixtapedia thread because it's like wait...this is a real major label album

speaking of Def Jam's inept design department. there's an amazing "takeover" ad on some blogs right now promoting the new ghostface

it's just two mirror images of ghost, staring at you, leaning against a wall with a modest vour jumpsuit on with puppy dog eyes

it doesnt even say anything

its like hes just kinda lurking around the corner of the blogs content

I think I rolled my damn eyes back into my brain at this dumbassery. How come there's not like 700 "GOTCHA" blog posts about this?!

Like Kurtis Blow, I'm a rapper's delight

I guess Wooh Da Kid is def from the generation of mislabeled MP3s on Napster.

Oh my fucking god, he just said

"now he st-st-st-stuttering like Daffy Duck"

Is Wooh Da Kid like rap Tuomas who just imagines things the way he wants them to be?

^^^not to resurrect old beefs, but behold the dude who once famously said I have a "centimeter-deep knowledge of rap"

oh yeesh dude i just forgot which rapper it was
how is this a thing

old boeuf is the toughest

because it's like one of the most iconic lines from one of the most iconic rap songs ever made?!

"who was that band who had that thing about how in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make?"

I mean, I know for all you twentysomething goons "old school" means like Camp Lo, but ffs
