rolling rap thread

hahaha

i liked your yelawolf review jordan, but i think "made in the usa" and "animal" are two of the best tracks. it falls down when yela tries to do the soft stuff himself, like on "the hardest love song..." and "radio" - and actually "the last song", sadly, the verses are amazing but the chorus is so unnecessary

official challop of the evening, i like this better than 99% of the yelawolf songs ive heard

it falls down when yela tries to do the soft stuff himself, like on "the hardest love song..." and "radio"

ha, i think the album picks up a bit when he starts singing himself -- "everything i love the most" is one of my favorite songs on it. that stretch sorta reminds me of the end of the second petey pablo album, tho not as good.

1% obv for "go crazy" lol

"made in the USA" would be good but that chorus is unforgivable

i think the chorus is a really great counterpoint to the verses!

inevitably there are bonus tracks that are better than most of the album proper

also jordan, rev etc: sandbox r&b

the machine gun kelly song is good cuz it's basically just a flocka song

still baffled as to why he a. starts twice singing rick ross songs b. made katt williams a central focus of his videp

but all the stuff deej used to say about yelawolf being super try hard really rings true for me for MGK, like yela's rapping style is a bit try hard i guess in that it's very technical, but he has a very dont give a fuck attitude imo, machine gun kelly very clearly wants to be accepted on some childish gambino shit

& yeah the flocka verse on that is insanely good

why is the mac miller album cover so damn twee

gucci is sounded kinda revitalized on these v-nasty songs, improbably

http://hulkshare.com/pa0whmcxnte4

maybe he's sobered up for a bit, finally

i am happy with the 3 good years of gucci i already have, dont rlly think he's adding anything on at this pt

re: MGK, I don't think it's a year-end-list track or anything, it's just a more fun song than I've heard from Yela. It's kinda corny but in that pop music way -- i mean the opening, w/ the square parents at the dinner table, thats like, TRL-era video, i kinda like that? its just more fun to me than yela's stuff

dude 11 minute dance megamix. ill be honest i didnt have v high expectations for a follow up, as much as i loved the original, but im totally feelin this

heartbroken sample at the end, my word

that MGK is an AMAZING waka song..but come on he sucks. yes yelawof also raps fast sometimes (and yes its kinda gimmicky when he does it too) but at his best he paints pictures man, word pictures.

<3 151 feva gang

i can't remember if i got a chance to say this before the crash but i love that don trip & starlito mixtape. they both have such cool voices. trip's single 'letter to my son' is an impressive single too imo - v personal and intense.

O_O @ 151 feva gang mega mix

"i got a six figure check and my sister got diabetes"

^^ some real shit!

xp

I think j otm about the Yelawolf, maybe even nicer than I was to it.

5 tracks in and I was like "damn what these ILX folk talkin about, this is dope", and then I barely enjoyed any of the remaining tracks.

I hate Made in the USA. worst hook EVER. The rapping is competent in the verses but...it's kind of a corny song to begin with, and the chorus ruins it for me.

i mean the chorus reminds me of some Kidz Bop type shit

wkiw 151 feva gang @ ac

y'all need to become friends with dapper don on facebook. shit changed my life, dude is the status update king.

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?

Waka's verse is insane (real good lex beat too), MGK tries too hard.

hey i haven't been keeping up w/ rolling rap much this year, are there any goon consensus best releases like flockaveli was last year for example

i want to catch back up but i haven't listened to new stuff since like april and i dunno where to start

comparison between yela and petey pablo is one i hadn't considered and is pretty apt

cosign on Dapper Don being a good facebook buddy btw

FIDDY !

was not expecting that!

how am I supposed to know the difference between kirko bangz and kherk cobain

NEW NICKI!

http://57thave.com/?p=49151

exactly what i want from her. that's kind of like if swizz beatz remixed roman's revenge and kicked eminem off. (don't think it's actually swizz.) very hopeful about the album

it seems like they kicked her wittiness off along with Eminem

she is killing the delivery tho

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

plus the nicki song basically sounds like the album intro

that fiddy song O_O

his voice! it has changed!

the new nicki is produced by street runner

i dont like that 50

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

his voice! it has changed!
