rolling mumble rap challenge 2017

oh lol i hadn't even realized the pump was out when i wrote my last post

just listened to it like eight times on repeat, it's exactly what i wanted (which is to say, 'gucci gang' fifteen times)

I had trouble listening to it one time through, said this on twitter but despite it being music for ppl w ostensibly short attention spans I felt like my attention span was even shorter

u were prob paying too much attention to it

u ever see the name of a new rapper and you're just like, no i will never listen to JBan$2Turnt but u know within a few months you totally will

lmao

im pretty sure i can say with confidence that i will never listen to Lil Xan

on the other hand, here's a guy with a great rap name who i like a lot:

i really like the new Khia song (ayo lex whaddup)

2nd verse is so great

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=M0-yjKs2WI0

those r both good

come to think of it cupcakke is probably a khia fan

nice to hear she's still got bars!

that pardison fontaine track is wonderful, thank you

Uno sounds a little bit too much like everyone else

theres some jams on the unotheactivist tape imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK5iigTHeKE

the UnoTheActivist joint is the best track on the enjoyable new Trippie Redd project

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie getting clowned worldwide for beating up Lil' B confirms his status as one of the lamest rappers in history

Trippie redd tape was mega underwhelming imo

Not gonna write him off just felt rushed

really? i didn't think it was as good as the first one, but it wasn't that big a drop-off

i felt like the songwriting was a lot more hurried

but it also might have been unfairly contrasting w/ my new fav rapper 03 greedo whose melodic choices tend to make these younger kids seem like they're finger painting

Nudy sucks though

I really like Khary: https://soundcloud.com/sorrykhary

Am I the only one who thinks the Offset / 21 Savage / Metro Boomin record is absolutely amazing? I mean, Culture is my favorite rap-record of the year, so I was predisposed to like it, but it's really really great, no?

i am just hearing rockstar for the first time and it is .. good?

for some sci fi dystopian can ox type vibez the new Armand Hammer is really great

gimme the lute

New Sosa 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 much more Rappy than “thot breaker”

The new Lil Wop mixtape is wild

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3gsv3PMNPU

i find him unlistenable. im convinced hed be nowhere near as famous if his name wasnt 'lil wop' in the era of GUCCI MANE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTIST WHO HAS EVER LIVED

Nah, his Gucci fandom is the least interesting thing about him. He gives lip service to Gucci, but his sound owes more to Keef. Both of those things are kinda boring on their own, but I love the tape's mashup of slasher films and sugary breakfast cereal.

Also helps that he uses his own stable of producers, rather than just tapping the same old 1017 standbys. Gucci's never made a tape that sounds anything like this

i dunno, most of his records so far i find aggressively unlikeable

lets talk about how this is the best chief keef record of the year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD3LvBIOsKI

I haven't kept up with them all but that whole tape sounds like his best start-to-finish project in years to me. The mix is interesting... all these songs, like "Less Speed," that might have been played for maximum volume a few years ago, sound slightly cushioned, like it was mastered with headphones in mind

it doesn't feel like his 'best project in years' to me in the sense that his catalog has always sort of exceeded the bounds of his projects, and capturing just one project feels like you're only look at one facet of what he does--like, to say this best represents him when there's zero melodic records on it feels wrong. I will say that this, like Thot Breaker, feels like one of his best-packaged efforts, and is definitely more well sequenced than the unfortunate Bang 3 releases, which were kind of botched even though the have some classic records on them (ie "laurel canyon")
