"let's roll sounds like he's going for that mainstream southern t.i.-ish anthemic sound for radio play... but why shouldn't he?"
Because it's played out and boring and every journeyman is doing it.
Psyched for hearing this though.

I don't want to hear Em rap about "whap[ping a girl] in the head with a Whopper."

That's just a waste of a perfectly good Whopper.
i don't understand how after hearing "throw it up" anyone would think of talking about the eminem verse

otm. replace em's verse with more gangsta boo
― sk8 bush (diamonddave85), Thursday, 17 November 2011 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
'throw it up' is terrible. eminem is unlistenable in 2011
― Regional Thug (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2011 20:00 (twelve years ago) link
IT'S NOT ABOUT EMINEM IT'S ABOUT GANGSTA BOO

i love the production on "throw it up", love that spare piano. tbh eminem doesn't bother me at all, mostly cuz he just shows up at the end, while i'm still reeling from gangsta boo
― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 November 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
i wouldn't have to be bossy if people would just act right
i don't ask for much
The thing is no one knows what you consider to be "right."

i find lex's temper tantrums oddly endearing
― do you want me to share what i know w/ you or not? (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 November 2011 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
They aren't endearing when they are directed towards you.
― Tired of these edcuated basic bitches. (lilsoulbrother), Thursday, 17 November 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
Lex dude the Gangsta Boo verse isn't even that good - Yela's is loads better.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 November 2011 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
aw, they've been directed at me on more than one occasion!

Also I get the goodwill towards this album after everything that Yelawolf came out with last year but come on, 3/4 of this is seriously piss-weak. It's like mainstream rap is so terrified of flopping that it continues to cling the same three or four tricks that make everyone sound almost exactly the same.
Like I don't even know what all these watery sung choruses are doing here. You'd think that making a commercially successful or even potentially successful Yelawolf album would be a fucking no-brainer, the hard tracks here with the soft stuff replaced with a load of rap-rock or country beats would surely do better than this desperate grab for the middle-ground.

Not heard this yet but I've kinda resigned myself to the fact that this guy's career is gonna be a long downhill plummet from 'Trunk Muzik'.

Like, I really hate it when artists sell out in such a himfisted way when a much better and cooler way of selling out is staring them bare in the face.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 November 2011 22:33 (twelve years ago) link
again, the album is not bad!
― do you want me to share what i know w/ you or not? (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 November 2011 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
so cynical! and on no evidence apart from superimposing other artists' career trajectories on to someone who's shown no actual slipping of his skills.
about one-quarter of this is weak, not three quarters, and there are only two outright stinkers.
― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 November 2011 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
Everything after Throw It Up is lame and the previous stretch contains Let's Roll.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:03 (twelve years ago) link
The Kid Rock track actually sounds better in the context of the album. I'll give it that much
― Number None, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:06 (twelve years ago) link
i have such fond memories of first discovering trunk muzik
― flopson, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:08 (twelve years ago) link
jus' sittin there listenin' to it
not lame: made in the usa, animal, everything i love the most, slumerican shitizen, the last song
― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:09 (twelve years ago) link
Made in the U.S.A. is the lamest
― Number None, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:12 (twelve years ago) link
Well I really like roughly half of Trunk Muzik and don't really listen to the other half anymore and I like about half of Radioactive. 'Trunk Muzik' the track is still my favourite tho.
― pandemic, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:15 (twelve years ago) link
"Made in the USA" coulda been great but wow is that chorus ever awful.
― Simon H., Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:18 (twelve years ago) link
slumerican shitizen
lol
― flopson, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:52 (twelve years ago) link

i love killer mike so much, why would he do that?

this katy b is great tho
i dont want a world where m@tt listens to what lex tells him. no diss to either of you but
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 18 November 2011 00:20 (twelve years ago) link
I love Mike too (and his record from this year is better than this) but the album he's doing with El-P is gonna be called R.A.P. (which stands for Rebellious African Peoples) Music, so he's not averse to bad titles. And the Slumerican Shitizen thing fits pretty well with his persona
― Number None, Friday, 18 November 2011 00:21 (twelve years ago) link
i think "slumerican shitizen" is a bit more knowing than Rebellious African Peoples Music

check M@tt's recent Spotify activity, if Notorious K.I.M. and Pink Friday aren't back-to-back every day for the last two weeks, I'd say he's free from lexfluence
