why is that hilarious to you? these are artists trying to make careers & i certainly dont think they're above making fun of, but this was irresponsible imo

it's funny that you're still worked up over a SPIN magazine chart that will have zero real world impact
― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
by what measure? by the measure of music writing? in that case we might as well give up now bcuz none of us will ever have real world impact, who reads blogs, lol
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
+ there are actual insults on that chart, i don't think "regional thugs and coke rappers" is one of them
― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link
well, you're wrong, it is one
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link
we've gone over this before but the variety of artists in there is like 10x that of other categories, to me its not journalistic or historically responsible, i guess those arent concerns for you which is fine but i don't see why its wrong for me to say this or for you to think i'm overreacting or w/e
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
i mean it's not WRONG for you to say it, but it does make you look very petty

i kind of agree with this. more than anything using 'thug' perjoratively in this context attempts to dismiss gangster rap as a whole as dated or irrelevant; in a sense maybe it is, given what's popular on the charts and judging by what's getting the high-profile critical love

over half of the artists get "dismissed" on that chart -- it's mildly snarky -- it's really not a big deal
― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 21:53 (twelve years ago) link

― є(٥_ ٥)э, Sunday, 4 December 2011 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
are you really struggling with it? theres so much more variety in that little bubble than there is between any of the artists in virtually any other category
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 22:21 (twelve years ago) link
variety & range in terms of quality, as well

i can't believe i get to explain to lex AND deej in the same weekend that you don't get to decide when other people think you're funny
― i already regret not just being 'some dude' again (Mr. Stevenson #2), Sunday, 4 December 2011 22:37 (twelve years ago) link
killa kyleon put out better music this year than anyone on the left side of that chart fwiw
― k3vin k., Sunday, 4 December 2011 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
im angry about the lack of respect shown by the chart
can't believe SPIN didn't pay proper respect to people named "Tity Boi" and "Nacho Picasso"

as glad as i am that this got turned into another referendum on deej thinking that chart was self-serving ahistorical b.s. i started this thread about a particular rap album & if it's not going to be about that, or about ya'lls favorite records this year, then i'm just going to ask a mod to lock it bcuz this is really boring.

the lamar mixtape is dope.

like, i don't know what else to tell you; the framework of the chart serves certain artists a lot more than it does others.
if moving on with your life after SPIN magazine put out a rap music infographic, is considered being the reasonable center, then i guess i am that, yes

you need to make up your mind if you actually disagree w/ what i've said about the chart, or if you've actually moved on, because you talking about it now suggests you're just trying to one up me & arent actually engaged w/ the discussion at hand

i'm not even the one who brought this stupid thing up again -- yall were -- if you want to keep bringing it up like its assumed that we all agree about the chart, then be prepared to actually engage my opinion about it

on the real tho jsut for the record who on that chart is getting the goon seal of approval, looking at it right now - yela? kanye? big sean? wale? asap rocky?
ok i skipped over meek
xp i'm not holding him up as anything i'm saying 'candy paint and texas plates' was a better mixtape than 95% of the organized output of (admittedly) more relevant rappers on that retarded chart
― k3vin k., Sunday, 4 December 2011 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
your line here is that omg its just a dumb spin chart, that's what i'm saying you're wrong about -- everything you've ever written is just dumb music writing too, if you want to go by that logic. this serves to create a narrative about THE STATE OF RAP and if you don't see that then maybe you shouldnt write about music

once again you act as if you have absolutely no responsibility for getting into arguments you are in fact a part of
"i'll joke about this as if deej is a moron who was totally wrong about this, then i'll expect him to have moved on and ignore me when i intentionally provoke him"

Yeah thats my sleeper pick of the year, my most listened to track on any of the Revenue Retrievin series. B Legit is pure muscle on that.
