so don't you think its useful that Noz's list might seem informed by the way people are receiving it here?

i know we all agree about this so this kind of seems like a challop, but doesnt the black hippy crew (kendrick, schoolboy q, ab soul, jay rock) deserve like 90x the acclaim of odd future, when it comes down to it? what are sales figs like on tyler v. kendrick? why are the press so obsessed with the former but ignored the latter for a long time (& while they now follow kendrick, they treat him like a solo star & the trickle-down effect to schoolboy etc. is happening much more slowly than it did for i.e. mellowhype)
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
i compare them because they're both crews with breakout stars from LA, and black hippy are just better rappers period
Black Hippy don't really have a hook like Odd Future (being "young", controversial lyrics etc.) did i guess?
― Number None, Friday, 16 December 2011 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
but black hippy are young! they don't have the controversial lyrics but thats a plus. they also have better songs
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
That's why i put young in quotes. The youth aspect of Odd Future was exaggerated cos Earl was 16 but it was definitely a major thing in most of the initial coverage of Odd Future. I agree about Black Hippy being better btw

If you haven't heard Ab-Soul's tape you should. It's of a similar level of quality to Setbacks

at the last second i removed webbie's 'whats happenin' from my pazz n jop ballot in place of some finney-recommended dance track; have i made a horrible mistake?
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
haha that songs in my top 5
― wil smif, Friday, 16 December 2011 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
yeah. i probably should have kept it. idk what i was thinking. more absurd is that i kept in shady nate's 'send it overnight' which is a dope song but totally more marginal ('random rap')
im a sucker for the zhane sample what can i say
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 18:19 (twelve years ago) link
i didnt listen to either the webbie or mouse tapes from this year despite loving whats happenin & others bc trill ent wo boosie is too sad to me

what are sales figs like on tyler v. kendrick?
don't have hard long term sales numbers at my fingertips, but their billboard numbers and first week sales are:
tyler: #5, 50kKendrick: #113, 5k
― furnace mane, Friday, 16 December 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
i doubt that they're much closer (i think tyler is up over 150) but kendrick has definitely picked up buzz as the year has progressed
― v-shasty, Friday, 16 December 2011 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
right
― furnace mane, Friday, 16 December 2011 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
hmm all that stuff about it topping the 'heatseekers' chart had me thinking it had done a lot better than that.
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
it spent 9 weeks on the r&b/hip-hop charts, peaking at #22
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 19:16 (twelve years ago) link
heatseekers = artists who have never placed in the top 100

"say wassup" is one of the best song of the year
i kind of feel like sales don't matter in rap unless something is positioned as a blockbuster make-or-break record for the artist or preceded by a big radio single. like on the facebook sandbox when people were lolling or acting shocked about pusha t's "quickie album that's part 2 of a free mixtape" or w/e not selling much, it's not like when they release his REAL album they won't be saying it's his 'solo debut,' it doesn't count.
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 16 December 2011 23:48 (twelve years ago) link
still so weird to me that ppl were actually arguing about rap (let alone pusha t) on the facebook sandbox

But you understand why people took exception to you using it? Or do you think they’re blowing it out of proportion?Kind of both ways. I could see—I don’t know. Now that muthafuckas is telling me about it—I don’t know. I don’t feel like it has anything to do with race. I feel like people use that word the way I use it. You know what I’m sayin’? If I can’t say it, then basically nobody should be able to say it then, you know what I’m sayin’? I don’t give a fuck!
