Yelawolf: Trunk Muzik/ TM 0-60 / Radioactive

so the thing i'm trying to ascertain in asking about this record is, is this a failed crossover attempt, or is it just failed creatively.

how are these two different things? is it a failed crossover attempt? probably, idk we can all look at yelawolf's numbers and probably ascertain that. is it failed creatively? probably, i guess how much it's failed creatively is up to the listener.

"how are these two different things? "

lupe fiasco, lasers, referred to in my very first post on this particular subject

i'm curious if you guys think this has charting potential or not. this isn't a complicated question.

yes, this will likely chart but that is largely dependent on snagging some sort of single with radio play and i dunno what the single is atm
clearly he can get radio play if he really wants to; getting yr song on a WWE intro is a nice accomplishment.

clearly he can get radio play if he really wants to

hold on, what evidence is there of this

i'm curious if you guys think this has charting potential or not. this isn't a complicated question.

well "charting potential" and doing lupe fiasco lasers numbers are two very different things

Jordan, you don't think stations that play staind or limp bizkit won't give this airplay if the mountain dew drenched hoi polloi dig on it?

well, two largely overlapping things. the lupe comparison was just intended to highlight the difference between 'ilx hates this & it feels creatively bankrupt but charts anyway' vs. 'a flop any way you look at it' but keep assuming i'm just a total idiot who thinks that yelawolf will sell exactly lupe numbers if you'd like to continue bogging this thread down in entirely unnecessary sniping & general grumpiness

what a fiasco

forks what radio stations in 2011 are playing limp bizkit

haha sorry that you asked if yelawolf was going to sell 200k albums this week

no what you did was drag down the discussion in semantic point-missing & entirely fail to answer the q

xxp kroq and FMU i guess
but i guess really i mean people who would played limp bizkit in the day will not be hard to sell on this. could also become a regional thing.

like, literally the first response to my post understood what i was asking

It sounds pretty radio friendly to me, or what I imagine gets played on the radio as I haven't been a radio listener for ages.

??? i never said it was a 'great first post' i said he understood wtf i was asking & i don't know why you're having so much trouble with it

and no you didn't answer it

Radioactive.

is it a failed crossover attempt? probably, idk we can all look at yelawolf's numbers and probably ascertain that. is it failed creatively? probably, i guess how much it's failed creatively is up to the listener.

"do you think it will crossover. are there any tracks on it you could see charting." "i don't know i guess we'll find out when it happens" -- i don't need you to tell me that in the future, i'll know what happens in the future

how is it a stupid question exactly? it pertains directly w/ what we're discussing?

i mean, we do this kind of chart prognostication all the time? why is it suddenly stupid?

idk what kind of answer you're looking for? it's probably a failed crossover attempt! seeing as they've basically put out one single, i'm not sure how anyone can say for certain that it is or isn't. is it failed creatively? yeah probably! i think everyone thinks it's by far his worst album, but ppl like me & lex seem to like it more than others.

you guys.

"do you think it will crossover. are there any tracks on it you could see charting."

my answer was "probably not. yelawolf has never had a charting single before."

"i don't think this is likely to be successful because" "i do think this will be likely to be successful because" "i'm not sure, because"

or just admit that this argument was a result of kneejerk condescension that had nothing to do w/ my question being supposedly 'stupid'

well when you asked if he was going to sell lupe fiasco numbers, that part was stupid

Radioactive

is this, like, hipster music like DB The General?

j0rdan wasnt trolling he was just being condescending

i'm not a hater i just troll a lot

you guys.

people who live in glass houses probably failed Intro to Architecture

guys! yelawolf! new album! etc

so what's wrong with em's verse? i thought he kinda killed, what with all that stuttery dancing around the beat and stuff.

eh, he's not bad on the verse exactly just so badly outclassed by GANGSTA BOO

its not cool to like em because he's lyrically lyrical instead of aw man cuz man we here to stay ay, welcome to ilx

no wonder I like all the shit ILX won't go to back for (like Slaine)

i have a physical copy on order (lol buying music). disappointed that he didn't absolutely kill this release cuz this was probably my most anticipated drop of the year, but I guess it's better than nothing.

oh well, one month until Jeezy once again pushes back TM103!

there's good 'lyrical' and bad 'lyrical.' eminem in 2011 is the latter.

I kinda lost interest in Em once he downsized the humor quotient of his music after Marshall Mathers LP

so what's wrong with em's verse?

as far as i can tell he says diarrhea two times in a row

Eminem also sounds completely aggressively aggrieved all the time, which is almost as annoying as clumsy whiney zings
