MTV writer: Soulja Boy is a performance artist and none of us are in on the joke (seriously)

why are you all still talking about eminem and his one afterthought verse on this album?

thank god we can pick up this discussion again.

or not.

I kind of feel like the cure for the 2012 Nicki/Yela/Waka idea of half an awesome rap record and half record label people clearly flailing for pop crossover hits is like release a WHOLE awesome rap record that people will champion as a piece of art/5-mic classic (it's certainly not hurting Killer Mike/Big Boi/Kanye/Danny Brown) and then release tons of sell-out pop jams as MP3s until one sticks

we bought 3 copies of killer mike's LP at the record store i work at & two remain on the shelves

which is cool for me b/c it means we can keep playing (select jams) in the store, but nicki's still outselling those dudes & so is like lupe fiasco right?

I'm just saying that if people wanna sell records AND make non shitty records; because the majority of records that sell now are shitty

the funny thing about chasing the pop money is, those songs don't sell albums. "Starships" isn't moving copies of Nicki's album like all the urban radio hits on the first one (including "Super Bass") did, Flo Rida has platinum singles out the ass but can't get an album to go gold.

only thing sadder than that is guys that try and fail to sell out like Yela. how the fuck did he go from having the best career prospects of a semi-well known white rapper to the worst in the space of a year.

I am a rap fan. I care about how many copies of my favorite artists CDs are sold.

it's like following politics and keeping track of who gets the most votes in an election. sure, it's not really about the value of the work they're doing, but it kind of has a big bearing on whether the guy you like or the guy you don't like will actually get to do the job next year.

kinda lol but mostly sad

aw

dude ruptured his spleen stagediving huh
this is a weird interview

lol "i mean the album was called RADIOACTIVE like to be ACTIVE on the RADIO you know... anyway, back to trunk muzik..."

heh "you ever been eatin a bowl of chili and get a shotgun pellet stuck in your teeth"
i have had this experience
"the smell of white trash is like vinyl siding warmed up with kerosene heaters, cigarettes, dusty carpets and fried bologna" <- this is kinda true; i don't think i've talked about my trailer park summer on here but some stories there

heard this on sons of anarchy

it's surprisingly impressive, that new one

yeah good track

i loved Trunk Muzik and spun Radioactive approximately .5 times. which i'm sure is not unique.

i have zero idea what to expect from his new album. for some reason i'm feeling optimistic. dig that song up there.

chart experts and rap brainiacs: i really didn't pay attention at all, is it fair to say that Radioactive was a flop?

Honestly he should just go all out for the Jesse Pinkman thing with added country and rock elements seeping in at the edges. It's impossible for me to believe that a record label wouldn't be able to market an artist like that in 2014.

oh yeah total flop

I am on my way to accompany my friend to a Yelawolf concert! I have never rly listened to Yelawolf nor have I ever been to a rap show. I am kind of excited.

actually that's not true I saw Ghostface at my college nvm

holy shit this is amazing

i loved Trunk Muzik and spun Radioactive approximately .5 times. which i'm sure is not unique.

Same. Radioactive struck me as total bare-faced commercial whoring.

he will never reach Trunk Muzik heights again, but Love Story seems ok to me. am i the only one?

yeah, i like it. it could stand to be, like, half as long, but it's good.

truthbomb. 18 tracks or w/e? i never understood why rap albums tend to go to 15, 18, 20 tracks. give us yr 10 best and get out.

god he is so bad now

guess that guy never saw the opening credits for Justified

hah

obviously he's gotten worse, this new shit is sub-Everlast, but he was always pretty gross imo

Anybody still willing to ride for this guy?

Nope

did he do something ?

no, he just tanked real fast after his mixtapes.

oh yeah, thought maybe something beyond that. i liked the 'Til Its Gone' but thats the only thing ive even heard since radioactive and thats cos it was used on a tv show i was watching.

This thread is such a surreal archive. So many people fanning so hard for this vile rapper feigning like they had no understanding of how somebody could find him objectionable

EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK UP

xpost what was so "vile" about him in the early days?

seems like a weird word to use given, y'know, all the other rappers out there. has Yelawolf ever even had legal trouble? i can't recall any.

slumerican shitizen

^this is seriously never going to stop making me lol
