rolling rap thread

lil wayne's boots are lmao

thought there was some version of it w/ 40 somewhere...?

but yeah I have no clue why this was shot in the bay, it's pretty non-sequitur

I'm totally obsessed with "Stupid Hoe"

this meek freestyle is incredibly, incredibly good imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8cy5k_bdzM

i mean, this is just

24, how could i ask for more
i got my deal, it's getting real, i'm making game for sure
stuntin every chance i get, because i had it poor
but every time i go to sleep i hear the devil at my door
and i'm on them papers, so the courts i'm goin back and forth
dealin with probation man they all said i'd be back for sure
mommies turn to zombies from that raw, because it's crack galore
you wonder why them babies runnin crazy steady clappin off
gettin life before they get pussy
cuz ain't nobody love em so their lives get tooken
locked in cages, have em fighting over cookies
and the lunch trays just happy them days ain't never killed em
yeah i remember
it was a hot december, niggas die on top the winter
cuz kids need them toys where santa claus don't seem them boys
don't seem the girls around here, cuz there's jackboys downstairs
no man with the big bag, just man with the big gat
tryna take his shit back, cuz he feel the world owe him
and his daughter want a barbie bike for christmas, he gon show her
that the love is there, no mother there, just her and lil brother there
we wash our pain with belvedere and use the drugs they brung us here
and we get high to get by, hot dogs, no rib eyes
with tears drip from red eyes where ends don't meet the deadlines
the DA said she hate me, but i don't understand
when i just rocked a show in front of 50,000 fans
i think that bitch racist, she prolly in the clan
she take her pain out on me, but she prolly need a man
i took my mom from public housing, put her in the sticks
we came a long way from welfare and getting wit
that shit just made me hungry, and now we getting rich
and all these niggas gettin sick, i know they wanna get me hit
cuz i'm ballin
yeah, cuz i'm ballin

he's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

it's like, dude is so economical about his writing. i feel like it takes so much talent to write as vividly and detailed as he does in the span of like 8 bars. it's kind of blowing my mind right now.

man i was showing my roommate some money boy a few weeks back and shit was kinda mad uncomfortable cuz it was basically like we were watching gross european hostel porn together

that meek mill is great

assuming this:

we came a long way from welfare and getting wit

is supposed to be "gettin' WIC"

yeah i admittedly gave up on that one

also i don't think it's "lunch trays"

mr. money boy, mr. money bags / ich habe stupid fruity juicy goofy naughty swag

Looks interesting - how does it compare to Dr. Lecter?

I like Dr. Lecter better...the collabo with Selektah is just more laidback fun, doesn't go quite as hard, but it doesn't trail it by a huge margin.

for the old men around here who were wondering when Slick Rick was finally gonna give a shout-out to Jonah Hill lol

damn..loving that & 'pushin pillows'

"pushin pillows" should be huge imo

that beat + the hazy melody are slaying me

yeah the young hustlaz is great! any id on the sample? on the tip of my tongue.. interesting writeup on 100 grand too btw

Sorry for the data dump, but I thought this might be of interest. Looks like every non-catalog rap album that sold at least 279 copies last week with sales stats.

guys "Motto" is so fucking terrible. it's like oh, you figured if Drake did something kind of light and uptempo it might stab through the haze of his aesthetic and be actually fun? nope the joyless tryhard aura just feels even more pronounced.

i think tyga is my favourite verse on that

stop

out of this world

total recall

imo past year drake & weezy went from writing verses that elicit often painfully awkward, visceral responses to the arguably worse mode of making music that is literally humanly impossible to remember

you are p much at a lexian level of not allowing yourself to like anything drake afai can tell. shit is just catchy & unique

the new young l tape is really good. he's stepped up his rapping quite a bit and the beats are great and there aren't any out-of-character pop-rap diversions.

oh damn

thank u based furnace

wait is this the one where every song samples imogen heap

no. i didn't even hear about that. just about every song samples that lil jon "who you wit "I" sound tho

every song samples imogen heap sounds more like clammy clams

"arcade pussy" = young l song titles very much in character

every song samples imogen heap sounds more like clammy clams

yeah i think this was basically it

i have trouble believing young L has stepped up his rapping enough for it to be a tolerable project frankly

he should stick to producing SL Jones

young L has always been pretty dope

imo he's been slightly overrated online b/c his shit sounds kind of Wire mag-ish but he is dope & in the real world is underrated so im not mad about it. but he's still a nonentity as a rapper

Nope http://www.thefader.com/2011/08/08/young-ls-as-i-float-the-great-john-nash-mixtape/

lol at imogen heap's based goddess status. and yeah deej, he did step it way up. and even his stuff before where he was rapping pretty poorly is way more memorable than that sl jones joint which has kinda slipped out of my mind.

even if the domo-kun mixtape is a chore to get through and i had to wrap my head around his weird anti-flow, i find myself bumping to "pound" and "loud pockets" and "overdrive" all the time and stopped listening to the slj track after a few days or whatever

the anti-flow is way toned down on this new tape tho. it's still there enough to be distinctively him but it's incorporated into a more regular rapping style. and i'm glad he's both developing and keeping a distinctive approach

man i completely disagree that L's earlier stuff was more memorable. SL Jones is like 100x better rapper.

young l's were like a notch above beat tape (i still have to hear the new one )

im unsure whether or not young l's young l music is worth listening to: does the initial awesome reaction to the beat propel you through the next 3 minutes of grating, repetitive rapping? i rarely make it through an entire song & just end up sampling each beat on his tapes

this is prob a big challop but i prefer clams casino

okay that's retarded

also young l's rapping is fine! it's rarely great but it's often kinda fun
