fwiw deej as someone who listens to mostly LOL CHILLWΔVE and like, ambient drone, the fact that the REGIONAL THUG bubble included a wider variety of rappers (both in style AND quality!) and is thus more insulting than other bubbles like DESPERATE BENEFACTORS and GUYS WHO THINK ITS 1993 is legit baffling to me
i mean: roping a bunch of disparate rappers under one bubble can come across as implying those distinctions are trivial, not worth listening for or caring abt &c &c &c but its hard to see the term REGIONAL THUG as an actual textual insult and also every other category does the same thing, in an effort to make a point abt diffusion/popularity? so it seems weirdly parochial to care so much abt this one bubble, i guess, or to make such strong claims abt its intent/effect

years ago on t0m breih4n's old blogspot page all the links on his blogroll were humorous or silly descriptions of the writers, including "d4vid dr4ke being just a baby, man" which i thought was really weird and confusing for a long time and i asked deej and apparently it was just t0m being amazed or impressed by how young he was. but every time deej loses his shit on ilx and cries about everyone being mean to him, the phrase "d4vid dr4ke being just a baby, man" automatically pops into my head.

well, i dont think it's the only problem w/ the chart if you were wondering, its just one that i brought up that these guys chose to harp on. i mean, when this first hit i criticized other stuff too.
the point abt diffusion & popularity would be a good one if it didnt seem like it was intent on making certain artists also seem considerably more significant than i think they are to most hip hop fans, like it doesn't just pull the magnifying glass wayyyy out on certain strains of hip-hop (and lump those strains together) but it also zooms way in to the pt where you're talking about non-entities like smoke dza as if he's even worth a data point like this, while other artists are left off of the chart entirely
i'm not sure what the 'such strong claims' i'm making about its intent/effect are; i criticized it the way i would any piece of music journalism that seemed particularly wrong headed to me
xp's to the face display name

don't act like you haven't harped on REGIONAL THUG on the blog & on twitter multiple times since the chart dropped

i mean, i think they're indicative of the way the press follows certain micro trends but ignores other larger ones. i'm not sure that is such a strong claim XP

this was a good thread name. i dont think we've really missed so far on these although i am concerned abt the upcoming year
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:44 (twelve years ago) link
'gun sounds' was a quality pick esp if i remember the other nominations correctly
― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:45 (twelve years ago) link
tbh in retrospect i supposed rolling regional thug isn't bad either, i guess it does reflect the splintered decentralized discourse or w/e
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:45 (twelve years ago) link
actually i'm not sure it does in that 'regions' are less relevant in the internet era, so i'm back to preferring 'white girl'
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:46 (twelve years ago) link
i'm down w/ either -- "rolling regional thug" makes sense to me cuz the thread has always more or less been about the "regional thugs" but "rolling white girl" would work too
― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:49 (twelve years ago) link
white girl has the double meaning

wait a 'double meaning' beyond the one that was the subject of shitty young jeezy songs like 5 years ago?
― i already regret not just being 'some dude' again (Mr. Stevenson #2), Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
well yes, but that still relates back to the central focus of the thread, historically speaking
― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:53 (twelve years ago) link
well, there's also the white girls being well-known rappers now thing which wasn't the case back then
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 23:54 (twelve years ago) link
right, and that would be the first meaning

you know what actually - -this just occurred to me & i know there will be some resistence because its associated w/ the mid-00s houston thing but -- cough syrup seems bigger than ever. maybe rolling double styrafoam cup

like, no matter the region, there are syrup addict rappers right now. its pretty much national at this point

lol but tbf on real ilx there are enough other posters i didnt have to read gun sounds unless i wanted to listen to youtubes
mostly im just disappointed no one wanted to post abt good cool rap stuff from this year. although i half suspect the fact that theres lots of rap im excited abt is directly the cause of yalls disinterest in rap right now
also i wanted to talk abt how great cities aviv is just to get whine doggie going but this thread is on u.n. shit right now, hashin out regional disputes
