I am totally ready for this thread to be all about the "Black Ty" CD. Please, proceed.

The new Ying Yang Twins album is unbelievably bad.

― m1cc1o (m1cc1o), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Charted really poorly too (which I say while knowing that I risk spawning another 300-post thread about whether it's okay to hate on rap albums for "bricking"), debuted at #40 when their last album debuted at #2, i think even that mini-album/EP thing from a year ago sold better. What's bad about it, though, compared to their old stuff? (I don't disbelieve you, I'm sure it's terrible, but I'm mordibly curious as to what the factors are, aside from Wyclef.)

Black Ty sez:

As soon as I walked in the club
I started looking for a girl who sucked dick like she made it up
I know you're out there somewhere
Baby don't keep it to yourself, share
To all the freaks, let me see
Drop it like it's hot and make me a believer
I know there's a whole lot of freaks in the dirty dirty
Motherfuckers gettin' high feelin' flirty
Dem down south boys they're the craziest
Them west coast boys be scandalous
Dem midwest n*gg*s be dangerous

The end of each line is pronounced either "uhh" or "ehh"

Lol @ the idea of a "prequel" to a mixtape!

spoiler alert: Wayne's hot rappin' skills are the result of mitoclorians!!!

Collipark intros the album saying that the first part of the album is for the old school fans and that on the second half Wyclef and some Tony Wonder or whoever is gonna take them into exciting new musical worlds. The first half is just really tired, even for a group known for repeating hooks and catchphrases into the ground. Wyclef's half goes for a little novelty but "Dangerous" and "Leave" (about how if you don't like your wife's career as a stripper you should just leave and let her breathe) are the only ones with any musical spark, but the sung hooks are painful (Wyclef bellowing the hook from "Maneater"). Then Collipark comes back to say he has to outro the album himself cuz the Twins are missing, only this is followed by a song about how they're gonna bust it open, and another about how they're still here.

There HAS to be label/producer drama behind something this uninspired so soon after U.S.A., which was half great.

Cheri Oteri is totally giggling at Black Ty's ineptitude at dispelling gay rumors by rapping lines like "Motherfuckers gettin' high feelin' flirty/ Dem down south boys they're the craziest" (xpost)

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

If I have any shame about overrating Yet More Ghostface and a more backpackish Mobb Deep, its not because I've heard rap that's more worthy of commendation this year.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i remember the first time I heard "Dangerous" it was just the very end when the beat changes up for a few measures and it sounded really unexpected and awesome, hearing the actual whole song was pretty disappointing. i'm amazed they actually tried to launch an album with that as the single, i don't think anybody liked it.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

hell, even heard ABOUT rap that sounds more worthy.

x-post, not that that list changed anything.

― m1cc1o (m1cc1o), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, the jump into "Black Betty" is the kind of whim that the album really needs more of.

― m1cc1o (m1cc1o), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

And I ain't laughin' holmes
When Black Ty come on it's like a danger zone

i keep forgetting to listen to that rhymefest album again...i liked it alright, i should give it another go...i liked it more than the lupe album, which didn't age well for me.

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

im telling you, if you can still get into mid-90s nyc rap, the AZ album is fucking golden. "the format" is my rap single of the year.

― max (maxreax), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the Rhymefest album was pretty high on my year-end list when I first heard it, but I think I lost my copy and it wasn't so great that I'm going to bother to get another copy or keep it on any lists on the basis of a handful of listens from months ago. but I just got the Lupe album pretty recently so it's still sounding fresh to my ears.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

thx max,

i keep forgetting abt that AZ album! i gotta get that.

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i know no one will care since i was like the only person that liked Mos Def's last album, but apparently he's up for a grammy?! and he's been working on an album that's supposed to come out in january called Tru3 Magic.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I discovered g-funk via the Menace II Society soundtrack and I can't get enough of it.

― max (maxreax), Thursday, 7 December 2006 22:34 (seventeen years ago) link

to be fair the whole "Urban/Alternative" category is tailor made for bullshit noone likes like the last Mos Def album

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Thursday, 7 December 2006 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

welcome to 1992

i recently got the first bone thugs album. in highschool i was "above" listening to commercial/gangster rap, but that shit is so good. kicking myself now.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i heard that new mos def song...yuck.

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost jaxon i was just bumping creepin' on a come up! that fucking EP rules...i forgot how wierd those dudes were "will i die of muuuuurdah? of bloody muuuuuuurdah?"

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Mos Def's out 12.19, isn't it?

"answering the musical question: what would it sound like if HR from Bad Brains got hella stoned, then mumbled a bunch of garbage over the Liquid Swords beat?"

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:27 (seventeen years ago) link

bone thugz are fucking great, STILL. krazie's verse on "ridin dirty" MADE that fuckin song. and NOTORIOUS THUGS is still one of biggie's greatest tracks.

― max (maxreax), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck a Hot97 for not having show playlists on their site. Was anyone listening to Funkmaster Flex last night? There was something he played I really liked - it was right before he played the two Justin Timberlake singles back to back? I can't say much else about it except that it sounded like a Southern rapper over a beat that didn't sound Southern.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

do you remember any words? the hook?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

It was something I only heard the last minute of as I was getting in the car but the beat was fantastic.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

just got a leak of the new nas.

wow. i can't wait to hear what y'all think about "Who Killed It?"

nas is crazy as fuck.

mostly though, so far, this is great!

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

so far, this might be my fav nas since "it was written"

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

or "lost tapes" if that "counts"

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I just listened to Rhymefest today and it's great!

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

by great I mean fun and accomplished and diverse, it's not like he's T.I. or Chingo Bling or anything

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i just DLed the new Nas too, but i've never really cared about him since Illmatic (which i bought on it's first day in highschool - geez, hype has been strong even then)

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

and Snoop's new one is kinda meh. decent but nothing amazing.

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

really what i've been listening to a lot is a slsk 12 cd comp of Jay Dee produced tracks called "Soulful Genius (Library of a Legend)". there's a Slum Village track called "Who We Are" that's absolutely bonkers. i guess it's on their "Prequel to a Classic" release which i have no idea what it is.

listening to Thug Motivation 101 one last time before i delete it. this guy is laughably terrible

― amon (amon), Saturday, 9 December 2006 07:48 (seventeen years ago) link

you mean 102?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 13:00 (seventeen years ago) link

The Lil Weezyana mixtape is one of my favourite things of the year. Best gay rapper alive!

Lil Wayne: gay rapper?

http://www.knox.edu/Images/_News/news_media/img/2006/colbert_stephen-1ss.jpg

...or the gayest rapper?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

― amon (amon), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i feel you, i didn't really like the stuff on 101 either.

Hip Hop Is Dead is pretty good so far, but WTF is up with "Who Killed It"!? I have no idea what kind of voice Nas is trying to there but it's more embarrassing than all the tracks with 'Scarlett' on Street's Disciple put together.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

similiarly, "the whirlwind of beef, I inhale it" makes me want to vomit more than any of the gross sex rhymes on the last album.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

also Nas WHY OH WHY do we have to hear your wifey's horrible horrible speaking voice on your albums? that shit is more nails-on-a-chalkboard than, well, her singing voice.

whatsup dudez-- i engineered & recorded this trk a while ago-- my partner Bee Dogg hollered the other day & i'm thinking of dropping joints 4 him when he gets out of jail (i didn't produce this track-- mine r generally more glossy and whatnot). he's on some 2008 midwest delivery usually righter than this but it was just dropped in like 10 minutes or whatever and way undertuned but i lost the masters and all-- herez Bee Dogg-AK's We Spray . . . r u digging this? the chorus drags on a little but the childrenz & som dudez in nyc were . . . lyrically i think he'z fucking pretty good

herez an alternate link if my http daemon is a failure: bee dogg - akz we spray (higher bitrate, not normalized tho)
