BoJackSanNeanTeDrive xpost

eurogoon or something?

lol @ you guys taking the thread name so seriously

rolling proletkulture (xp)

clown me for taking a spin chart seriously, but you can't clown for taking this thread title seriously. its serious bizness. we have to look at it every day

if you guys can't decide on a name just call it rolling extra broccoli

i'm very protective of the thread title, and i don't care if y'all make fun of me

^^

word

rolling sawce all over deej

I gotta say, as an outside observer 'gun sounds' was the first dud in a series of hits

gun sounds wasn't really the best, but there was little to work with

it was always about lovably owning someone else's version of LCD rap, not pointing out what the worst possible rap music is

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

huh?

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

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

i agree w/ dayo

except that i still think "gun sounds" was okay

huh?

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

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.

heartbroken rn

what year is this ? hes not even on my year end lists this yr

does whiney ever not talk in really tortured metaphors involving imaginary cultural signifiers

gun sounds was a great title fuiud

at least there was never a rolling ghetto house thread

that wouldn't have made sense.

is anyone else going to post shit they liked this year?

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPT1oN1kplo

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIkjIFAhqas

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

everyone else post their fave song from their fave rap album of the year

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...

"Ric Flair" is my favourite off the Killer Mike.

plus like in the year of chillwave softest serve pillow rap, it goes hard p much start to finish

takes me back to when rappers yelled

the Flying Lotus track is weird though

i didn't like any rap this year

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

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 i would check out schoolboy q's album if i were you its called 'setbacks'

i think you would f/w it

I prefer it to Kendrick's album

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
