it seems like they kicked her wittiness off along with Eminem
she is killing the delivery tho
― OH NOES, Friday, 2 December 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's all about the delivery set to that beat - really elevates whatever she's actually saying, which is why that doubledogdareya outro is completely amazing even though on paper it shouldn't be

I've played the heartbroken outro to that 151 feva gang song like 5 times now

i dont like that 50
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 2 December 2011 21:58 (twelve years ago) link
i could see how you think this but, like, i guess the thing about the machine gun kelly song being FUN is that i really would never want to hang around and/or be around the guy, and i think that comes thru in his music. like he just doesn't seem very cool?

no hes not cool at all, but i dont really want to hang out w/ yela either. at least MGK ha a cluelessness to him that is more forgiveable imo

rapping about the scenery of impoverished america with a super serious demeanor is, like, half the point of rap music

the machine gun kelly song is def cool but you could throw any brick squad rapper on it and it would be just as good, if not better

yeah i just mean he doesnt hold my attention & i dont think he's as great a rapper as everyone else seems to, there's a lot of skill to what he's doing but it just doesnt engage me at a gut level
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 00:53 (twelve years ago) link
man I couldn't disagree more w/ 'yayodancing' abt the Trouble albums either. his 1st one is way more consistent
there has been plenty of good rap music released this year but i kind of feel like rap as a whole is kind of stagnant atm, it makes me depressed
/thinkinbaoutthings
― k3vin k., Sunday, 4 December 2011 00:56 (twelve years ago) link
i've found plenty of tapes this year that I really like, i don't think it's stagnant. I just think that most of bloggers are just following the same artists that released good albums a year ago (or longer in Juicy J's case)
like that Juicy J record is fun but so one dimensional & each tape has like 3-4 jams on it at most
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 00:58 (twelve years ago) link
I just cant get over how unlistenable that Future record is, though. its like an hour of autotuned half-sung rap cliches
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
And while I like this year's Coke Boys tape the 1st one of those is better to me as well
i just mean in terms of like overall narrative and shared experience. i feel like my taste is so out of tune with what is popular/selling/getting airplay in the last few years. death of monoculture and all that but i hate even the huge rap albums that everyone irl has heard/loves. it just makes me sad, that our megastar auteurs or whatever are dudes like kanye and drake. where is the king of the past 3 years or so?
xxp
― k3vin k., Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:03 (twelve years ago) link
i haven't heard that future tape that he put at no 1

i don't wanna be a wet blanket or anything but it's just something that's been bugging me lately
― k3vin k., Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:05 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah i agree w/ that kev, i was just thinking today about how few of those 100k+ selling rap albums i actually like.
there's a lot riding on meek mill for me right now lol
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:05 (twelve years ago) link
re: future, dude can kill hooks, there's no doubt. his rapping though is just the emptiest shit.
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:07 (twelve years ago) link
i think it's kind of adorably ironic how a guy called Future sounds like all the worst parts of 2008 rap

― dayo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:13 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i've definitely been feeling more 'out of it' w/ each passing year but i've kinda made peace with it and appreciate that the climate right now is at least kind of allowing for more plurality in the rap world than at other times in the past. there's always gonna be a lane for whatever you like, whether it's the biggest lane at the moment or not.

― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:24 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i mean i think at this point it's esp weird because the things that i thought would be constants aren't due to the internet, so things are def a lot more unpredictable in some ways than in the past.

im pretty excited about where things are going from a production standpoint atm, less thrilled about most of the rapping but somehow that feels less dire than being stuck living through bad production trends. great new rappers are always forthcoming, its inevitable

what weird about this is more that there's just no single sound for "lowest" common denominator rap right now. like, no snap/ringtone/'swag surfin' type shit that didnt exist at those times either. tony montana trick is ... rap cliche + autotune, which we've already done.
