is "chopper in the car" called something different than "chopper in the car"??
― bene_gesserit, Saturday, 10 December 2011 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
ok i guess it's "john" and it's my pick.
and "marvin's room" is the song about drunk-dialing your ex - people like this song as more than a novelty for real?
(i spend 95% of my time in the car listening to urban rap radio so i am familiar with these songs in some capacity but they never say the titles /also didn't realize drake was on 75% of them.)

"Marvin's Room" love is the weirdest of all to me, because even if you don't like Drake as a person, even if you don't like Drake as a rapper, at least he's made some pop songs qua pop songs & "Marvin's Room" is a meandering, directionless sexless slow jam
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
i mean it is kind of a hilarious song because it's all serious and dark but it's about drunk dialing someone and telling them you are sleeping with a bunch of other women!

marvins room is my fav drake song

in spite of the awkward lines his performance is def moving--not in that it inspires sympathy or pity but, like, i can relate to being in that pathetic position and it really hits that nerve. captures the vibe of being bummed out & reaching out perfectly; the beat sounds like the bathroom of a club, the way the keys seep through and the volume increases in hesitant bursts. the phone call is pretty devastating

i mean presumably he's calling someone he's, like, in love with; kind of serious imo

ok my bad but i should do you a favor and post under the dn to which you're referring in this actual thread before i change it so people aren't totally confused

"sounds like the bathroom of a club" is the new "watching a party ending through smoke"
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Monday, 12 December 2011 02:06 (twelve years ago) link
haha well I just posted in the thread most likely to get your attention xp

i <3 "roll up"
― v-shasty, Thursday, 15 December 2011 16:12 (twelve years ago) link
the chorus of "roll up" is like the most rhythmically incompetent vocal performance of 2011
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Thursday, 15 December 2011 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i could see that -- idk i love the production on that

i feel so sorry for people who live nowhere near DC that they have to hear Wale on the radio all the time now too

I mean, I'm going through in order and I am actually psyched/happy about hitting Lupe because at least it isn't a turgid dirge, to the point where I am tempted to give his album a chance despite the massive negative reaction I had to "The Show Goes On"
someone should put some Paxil in Weezy's weed
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
haha that means the biggest blousy sapfest of all, "Marvins Room," is up next

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd why won't he shut the fuck up
I don't care if this make me old, Drake is fucking terrible and should just be punched 24/7

the Lupe Fiasco + Trey Songz joint is kind of a jam

yeah i fuck w/ that song
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:18 (twelve years ago) link
kind of telling that a wholly anonymous generic track like "Racks" is coming across like the greatest thing in the universe thanks to exposure to stupid ass Drake
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:18 (twelve years ago) link
okay "Bring It Back" is a genuinely YES song, the first I've hit on this list (of the ones I didn't already know) in a while
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:20 (twelve years ago) link
^^^^^^^^i know right!
(ha this was an xp but it applies to both)
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:21 (twelve years ago) link
racks is a pretty unusual song, maybe not as unusual as tony montana but they're both ugly and rythmically contorted in a way most or all futuristic stupid fruity swag ever is
― wil smif, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
tpp's list otm
― wil smif, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
the big takeaway I'm having so far is that I didn't think that 90% of hip-hop would spend 2011 trying to unsuccessfully merge "I Need Love" with "Ms Jackson"

well considering that that style's been done to death for 3 years in a row there's not really anything unusual about that anymore
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
srsly though, coming to Waka after the indefensible SHIT I just sat through makes me want to go back and apologize to you guys for all the mocking; if only I'd been paying attention to what the other choices were I'd have gotten it
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
racks & tony montana are the increasingly rare late-era innovations on the futuristic swag template
― wil smif, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
haha "grove st. party" and "bring it back" are my top 2 out of this list so it's a pleasant surprise to see you embrace both (although i decided to throw a vote to "ima boss" itt)
