he looks like such a dork with short hair
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:00 (twelve years ago) link
i love how the implication is you thought he looked totally badass with his beard and lionel richie hair
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
i mean that's EXACTLY how he's looked for 80% of the time he's been famous
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:03 (twelve years ago) link
oh my god women totally wont want to fuck this former soap star anymore what a dork
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:05 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but at least the curly hair + beard doesn't look like he got a $12 haircut the day before his fifth grade yearbook photos
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:05 (twelve years ago) link
i mean LOSER right?
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:07 (twelve years ago) link
lol, what the fuck is your problem
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:09 (twelve years ago) link
sarge i don't think anyone but you and maybe some ppl on the e! channel give a fuck about drake's hair
― k3vin k., Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:11 (twelve years ago) link
srsly
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:12 (twelve years ago) link
it's wrong to point out that drake's hair makes him look like a huge dork?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:13 (twelve years ago) link
al, don't "srsly" me after you started ilx's second drake photo thread
wait i didn't start any threads did i
like i said, drake looked like that for all of 2009 and 2010, that's why it's funny that you're pointing it out like urgent news
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:15 (twelve years ago) link
i thought you started the "lol at drake thread" or w/e
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 03:12 (twelve years ago) link
that's a great beat

i was reluctant about kendrick lamar at first but im over it now i think; i like that he's got a weird way of rapping and i'm really excited about some of the production he's getting & in the general dissemination of that style

yeah fuck i only listened to dreamchasers the other day and meant to come straight here and rave about that beans verse. he's one of the only rappers than can send shivers down my spine. i didn't really get 'middle of summer' before but it works so well in the context of that tape.
― gucc_ebooks (tpp), Thursday, 8 December 2011 09:33 (twelve years ago) link
middle of the summer was awesome, it captures a vibe that feels a lot more rare in popular hip-hop right now that used to seem more prevalent
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Thursday, 8 December 2011 09:42 (twelve years ago) link
def -- there's something evocative about that beat and him just kinda repeating the song title
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
verse is dope too, dude is a very storyteller
that track i guess isn't much of a story, but it kinda is -- very macro story
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
I kinda assume everyone's aware of this already: E-40 to drop THREE new albums on same day
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
if i have a few bucks to spend that week i'm gonna buy them all just off the respect

Preordering that shit on amazon asap, no rocky

This is no dis to mixtapes. I like mixtapes. But you have some people putting out mixtapes when it really is their album, but [calling it a mixtape] is just a security blanket in case the project don’t perform well.
ha otm
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I hate that shit
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
the branding of actual well crafted albums as if they're free quickie mixtapes is funny but i can't imagine getting actually mad at it, like unwrapping a hershey's kiss and it's actually a gourmet chocolate truffle and you just throw it away in disgust
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
often spoilt by dj shouts and dubious quality though
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
so kind of like the gourmet truffle is melted and a bit of the wrapper is stuck to it
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
except we're talking about the mixtapes that are essentially albums (i.e. less dubious, less shouting)
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:18 (twelve years ago) link
i thought we were just talking about the mixtapes of album coherence/quality? yeah sometimes those are professionally presented but often they're thrown out totally slapdash (GUCCI) (TEEDRA)
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:19 (twelve years ago) link
this video is funny

I just don't like the way "mixtape" has come to be such a sloppily applied, catch-all term. Quality of individual mixtapes is irrelevant.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
calling something a "mixtape" these days tells me essentially nothing about the project.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
is it a collection of songs by different artists mixed together? a collection of all-new material by a single artist? a collection of cast-offs/unreleased songs by a single artist? WHO KNOWS
think it might be time for e-40 to slow up a bit
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
how about we give the albums a chance first
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:36 (twelve years ago) link
I def preferred the first two Revenue Retrievin volumes to Overtime/Nighttime but I got a lot of respect for musicians with this kind of work ethic. bring it on sez I
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:40 (twelve years ago) link
Impossible to hate e40's grind imo.

I really like that new Juicy J mixtape.
― rennavate, Thursday, 8 December 2011 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
Eh there kind of all the same to me, 3-5 good tracks and the rest all lexlugerysamey. Probably could make a killer 10 song mix of his 2011 stuff though.
― Scotty Magee, Thursday, 8 December 2011 21:19 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I think the last few tracks on Blue Dream & Lean are especially strong, though ("I Don't Play With Guns" through "Flood Out the Club").
