Like just posting on ILX implies you want to be "part of the conversation," so why do pretend some people aren't speaking?

i have listened to both drake albums, for my sins. rushing to hear them when i'm not a fan would have been deeply weird though.
also another reason i get chippy about it in the goon thread is that this place is somewhere i come because, unlike everywhere else, it's somewhere where people do give a shit about shawnna or young bleed or whoever, where artists don't have to have buzz to get talked about!

you could make the argument that mac miller is more popular than bubba sparxxx ever was -- prob wouldn't be that hard
― v-shasty, Sunday, 4 December 2011 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
my take on mac miller is that he should be engaged critically now bcuz he went #1 and is likely reaching the peak of his popularity BUT it also is easy to ignore him since he doesn't have a big single or anything

Bubba did have an actual big single, but it was long after he stopped being "bubba"

i was talking about this with deej last night but it's interesting to me that it seems like mac miller seemingly has no interest in entering the popular rap universe. like he definitely aspires for fame and money and stuff, but he's not like asher roth or childish gambino or other outsiders who try and assimilate into popular rap. i mean, mac miller just had the number one rap album in the country and it literally has ZERO features on it! how weird is that? not even a stray taylor gang verse or anything. the only interaction w/ any music outside his camp comes from two clams casino beats and a young l co-production, so still pretty underground and outsider. meanwhile gambino bitches incessantly about how the "real" rap world doesn't take him seriously and asher roth had that drama tape early and had a debut album packed w/ typical guests.

yeah i man all i know about mac miller is that he's 'down with wiz khalifa' but i have no idea what the nature of that affiliation is or what musical or business ties they have, it seems like he's done a lot without even trading on that very much.

although i mean in those years between "say yeah" and "black and yellow" wiz seemed to kind of build a huge following without much in the way of singles or engagement with the rap industry too
― i already regret not just being 'some dude' again (Mr. Stevenson #2), Sunday, 4 December 2011 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
actually back when wiz was doing sold out tours and trending on twitter but it wasn't really clearly whether he was signing with anyone i thought HE was probably gonna be the first rapper to drop a #1 album with no major label or radio hit

fyi i wasn't just talking about frat rappers, its obvious to me that having a white rapper in 2011 is for a rap ceo what having an african baby was to angelina jolie
machine gun kelly is a wild & crazy rapper from cleveland and he's totally a part of what's going on here, but isn't frat rap or southern rap. kreayshawn and v-nasty too. there's just a bunch of people paying attention to white rappers this year
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Sunday, 4 December 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link
lex is also wrong because no, it is totally an observable trend within rap, and there's a difference between willfully following your own personal favorite performers down a rabbithole & paying attention to what's going on in the world of hip-hop, you're like in denial. you can't just will things to not be popular by refusing to cover them

I ain't heard the DMX but after reading his latest interview (post-jail release) in XXL, I'm not sure I want to.
Not that he hasn't always been a little nuts (ok, a lot, like the time he tried to commandeer a vehicle by posing as an FBI agent), but it was clear from the interview that whatever little he had left of his mind is gone, and that even the few hangers-on he had are kinda peacing out on him.
Not that he was ever an extremely deep lyricist, but sometimes I'm amazed a dude with his level of crazy didn't have a Gucci-esque meltdown in the early part of his career.

(i say this as someone who thinks his first two are bonafide classics so)
I like a few of these songs off the San Quinn & Tuf Luv album. there's one w/ b-legit that samples 'i'm always drunk in san francisco' lol
