rolling thread 2021 (deluxe edition)

haven't checked the whole tape yet but Pooh Shiesty "Neighbors" is dope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtJauZnp3xY

damn, rip ketchy the great, always loved his verse on pippi long stocking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekLp0gZQUlA

re: pooh shiesty, his tape is pretty solid front-to-back, but besides "back in blood" there's nothing on it as good as this cut from 2019

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

idk “guard up” is a pretty great single imo... “back in blood” is nice too & has the durk feature boosting it but i actually like “guard up” better

babyface ray's latest ep got a lukewarm p4k review, but what can i say i just like the dude, and it was cool to hear him over different styles of production (tho he always had a broader sonic palette than a lot of his detroit peers). i get where the review is coming from, considering how good ray can be at his peak (2019's mia season 2 is one of my fav rap albums of the past five years)

lord help me, i'm enjoying a jim jones song in 2021 (the terrible mix is part of the charm haha)

hopping on the rxpapi bandwagaon, along with the rest of rap twitter

it's amazing how many styles he tries and succeeds with and still manages to make everything quotable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDEM3KcR3jc

this song is hard as fuck (the whole album is, tbh), and my mind exploded when i placed the stooges sample lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd6rwwFawAY

wow this album rules

It's hopelessly old-school, but DJ Muggs & Rome Streetz's Death & the Magician really scratches that 90s hardcore rap itch.

Don't know what to make of Duke Deuce the name but the music's really solid.

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

crunk ain't muthafuckin dead!

xpost - yeah DJ Muggs is consistently putting out great music and collaborations, great second act to his career

rome streetz has a little Big L in him

no ones having as much fun as duke deuce it seems

Halfway through 'Gangsta Party', yeah this album rules.

I liked the sound of that at first, but it quickly felt like someone yelling in my ear too much, does he have other modes?

Guess I like it when people yell in my ear (unless it's Imagine Dragons or something).

lol, it could have been my mood, I'll try it again some other time

The DJ Muggs/Rome Streetz is way more laidback.

no

Tbf if 'Move' is supposed to be a Ludacris callback, he's nowhere near as shouty as his predecessor (and that's a good thing, too).

very much digging the new album from austin rapper-producer wiardon. he's simultaneously nervy and laid-back, very mature for his 18 years, and fluent in a lot of production styles.

Fuck, I'm old.

wiardon was born in 2002

yeah wiardon is very good

he's produced for mavi, baby smoove, lucki,...

nice hawk sample

loving rxpapi

another vote for Duke Deuce based solely on Coming Out Hard; will be listening to this album today

speaking of memphis, new young dolph & key glock collab is out today. my favorite of the non-singles is this key glock solo track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0n0VoVMqfk

you already know what this (armand hammer + alchemist) sounds like and damn it sounds good

https://armandhammer.bandcamp.com/album/haram

This is bound to paint me as a neo-backpacker or whatever, but Armand Hammer is the current hip hop act whose albums I look forward to the most.

this one strikes me as a cut above even his very good average

The Alchemist? 'Cause AH is Billy Woods & Elucid, who also rule individually, of course.

I meant Billy woods really I guess

Elucid says 'ouch'.

love me some armand hammer but the best album released this week is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sYRY3_Fni8

my initial thought was "I'm too old for this" but...maybe I'm not???

lol'd at:

she like I'm tired of hearing bout ops
I'm like girl you sound like an op

gonna miss rio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB51CUUod1w

suprise! i love the alchemist/armand hammer

i think they bring cool things out of each other, alchemist gets a little more out there and it's cool to hear them in a more conventional production setting

didn't see this elsewhere but curious to thoughts. i think I love it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFfGgeddAc4

digging babyface ray - unfuckwitable

you should check out ray's 2019 tape mia season 2, which is soooooo good

hello goons?
come vote for your favourite DOOM! About a week left
From the fire vocaled/Ash and molten glass like EyjafjallajöPOLL - ILM Artist Poll #108: MF DOOM. Voting til April 11.

funniest was this one imo (they deleted the original for sample clearance so it seems like it doesnt many views for a reason)

Sheldon Pearce ( former Pitchfork current New Yorker writer editor) calls Alchemist “one of hiphop’s greatest producers ever” in his little New Yorker review of Armand Hammer “Haram.” I like Alchemist style but am not sure if he’s in top pantheon. What do you all think?

he's been a fixture for two decades and he's arguably having his greatest (critical) success now, idk where i'd put him on my personal list but he's worked himself into the conversation

it's new thread title time

rolling gangsta walk wednesday 2022

i'm cool w that

i ain't worried bout it!!!

rolling rage beats 2022

im cool with that one because it describes an actual trend happening and isn't just a joke about one artist

man RIP Traxamillion

xpost i like rage beats

though i'm still unclear as to exactly what the definition of a rage beat is

idk the precise definition but it's the kind of sound with complex, distorted synth melodies (sometimes they're trance-y, sometimes they imitate guitars) and blown-out percussion, kind of like "die4guy" or "king vamp" on whole lotta red or the entirety of yeat's album up 2 me

anyway: rolling ragë bëats 2022

haha legit the most unsearchable title you could possibly come up with. hats off

haha, maybe i'll ask a mod to remove the umlaut from rage.

or maybe not!

honestly could you? i'm not good at keeping up my bookmarks and i have to search "deluxe edition" pretty often

just search 'rolling rag'

xp i requested on the mod request forum, fingers crossed

awesome thank you! could hardly deprive all of you another year of sub griselda bandcamp street raps posting

trippie red's 'trip at knight' is only rage beats.
