we def had to "lovingly own" something that had like multiple Diplo mixes and shit.

gun sounds is a waka song; it could have been like rolling lex luger beats or something but that sounds dumber, gun sounds reflects the percussive masculinity of the whole thing imo, was a perfect continuation of the series

i do think its funny that the sanbox version is 'rolling rap thread' btw
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
feel like the hallmark of a good rap thread name is a little self-deprecation + humor like ringtone, fruity crazy stupid swag, etc.
gun sounds is p humorless
― dayo, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
i agree w/ dayo
― v-shasty, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:23 (twelve years ago) link
except that i still think "gun sounds" was okay

jordan's pretending like snap was some thing only appreciated by pop ppl and atlanta ppl that we had to "lovingly embrace" but the hipste cognescenti was all over it. Would be like making this years thread about G-Side or something

gun sounds was worthless and was just one more thread for me to look at deej's stupid gucci crush
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:25 (twelve years ago) link
dude, what hipsters do -- whether they do or dont like this -- has nothing to do w/ it. they can be 'all over it' or ignore it.

does whiney ever not talk in really tortured metaphors involving imaginary cultural signifiers
― dayo, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:26 (twelve years ago) link
gun sounds was a great title fuiud
― furnace mane, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:27 (twelve years ago) link
at least there was never a rolling ghetto house thread

― furnace mane, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:33 (twelve years ago) link
is anyone else going to post shit they liked this year?
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:42 (twelve years ago) link
you dont need to post your whole list but throw an artist out there or a couple youtubes or something
my fave rap album of 2011 was the Killer Mike

― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:43 (twelve years ago) link
this isn't on the boldy james tape, but it's got a verse from him. its from Louie P Newton, who is on that track "Pumping Gas" i posted a bit upthread. It also features GLC.

― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
i have to say, dealwithit.gif, when you told me that was your favorite rap record of the year i thought that was votes very much in character ha. i cant think of a more whiney-esque rapper this year
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:45 (twelve years ago) link
everyone else post their fave song from their fave rap album of the year
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:46 (twelve years ago) link
xpost, yeah, it's got def that righteous indignation I like of like "a conscious dude who will rap about rockefeller drug laws and also punch you out" Those are my fave rappers: Ice Cube, Willie D, David Banner, etc...
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:48 (twelve years ago) link
"Ric Flair" is my favourite off the Killer Mike.
― Number None, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:50 (twelve years ago) link
plus like in the year of chillwave softest serve pillow rap, it goes hard p much start to finish
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:51 (twelve years ago) link
takes me back to when rappers yelled
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:52 (twelve years ago) link
the Flying Lotus track is weird though
― Number None, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:53 (twelve years ago) link
i didn't like any rap this year
― furnace mane, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:54 (twelve years ago) link
i liked some but it was a lot of canon stuff (e-40/quik/etc.) and mildly well received mixtapes (mouse/fiend/etc.), i'm hoping this week i can play catch up and do a lot of listening before i set my year-end lists in stone
― i already regret not just being 'some dude' again (Mr. Stevenson #2), Monday, 5 December 2011 00:57 (twelve years ago) link
quik, e-40, kendrick, shabazz palaces and maybe na'tee will be in my top ten, i think. most of my energy for digging into obscure shit has gone elsewhere this year, so it's mostly been checking for people i already know i like.
― furnace mane, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
furnace mane i would check out schoolboy q's album if i were you its called 'setbacks'
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:04 (twelve years ago) link
i think you would f/w it
I prefer it to Kendrick's album
― Number None, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:06 (twelve years ago) link
yeah its more my speed, but most of my reasons for preferring it are stylistic preference rather than like, stuff that sucks about the kendrick or something
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:07 (twelve years ago) link
kendrick will be in my top 10 -- was shocked how much i grew to like it
― v-shasty, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:09 (twelve years ago) link
did you like the death grips mixtape? it was the highest placing 'rap' album on my eoy but i was a little embarrassed when no other rap music made our list
i really, really liked the main attrakionz mixtape as well as the spaceghostpurpp and kendrick lamar ones.
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:09 (twelve years ago) link
i'm sure only dealwithit.gif will like this but this was one of my fav tracks from one of my fav hip hop albums this year

― if you ain't gonna wash it, i ain't gonna eat it, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:09 (twelve years ago) link
Kendrick has stuff like the dude singing on "Ronald Reagan Era" which just takes me right out of it. Schoolboy Q has Jhene Aiko who's much more agreeable
― Number None, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:11 (twelve years ago) link
Jay Rock's debut album coulda gone from a B+ to an A if it didn't have such a watered down second half.
― if you ain't gonna wash it, i ain't gonna eat it, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:14 (twelve years ago) link
Haven't heard that or Ab-Soul's one. Anyone?
― Number None, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the jay rock was better than i expected too
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:18 (twelve years ago) link
completely forgot it was this year but I did love the Dinner and a Movie by Brotha Lynch Hung.
― if you ain't gonna wash it, i ain't gonna eat it, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:19 (twelve years ago) link
err sorry Coathanga Strangla
Yeah, sandlamp, Death Grips is in my top 50
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Monday, 5 December 2011 01:26 (twelve years ago) link
everything about kendrick lamar screams red flag to me, is there a song that might convince me i should not be so cynical about him

i've heard it. it's aight.
― furnace mane, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:29 (twelve years ago) link
i should check out jay rock and ab-soul's shit tho.
what's the over/under on whether TM103 comes out this year. I mean I know unlike prior drop dates that industry heads have heard what the supposed finished product is but at this stage I think it'd be kinda hilarious if he pushed it back again, kinda like rap's Cartmanland
― if you ain't gonna wash it, i ain't gonna eat it, Monday, 5 December 2011 01:30 (twelve years ago) link
it weirds me out that those 2 guys work together because i've known a rapper from around here for years called ab rock (xpost)
i think TM103 is definitely dropping this month now
