I really like that new Juicy J mixtape.

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.

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”).

Speakz is good on “Deez Bitches Rollin’.”

uh huh.

Great cover too.

Whiney argued to me that Meek Mill is ‘boring’ which I think is totally wrong, so as an argument, I’d like to link to a promising rapper from Detroit named Fowl (he won a freestyle contest that was judged by eminem apparently) who is totally using the Meek Mill flow on this song, and I think it shows how meek’s flow functions (by being a bit more baldly obvious in its message) for listeners & how influential meek could end up being / already is

(i’m not linking to more meek because i’m assuming he’s heard more than enough already)

can’t remember which one of you guys pointed this out but yeah..i hear a lot of peedi crack in meek mill

I’m just not sure what’s so unique about Meek Mill’s flow? (Which isn’t to say I don’t like the guy.)

i wouldn’t say it’s unique, he just brings this very urgent energy to his rapping and is convincing about it

exactly. he def has a peedi influence but i think that’s more of a general philly sound than it is about him biting peedi

would someone disagree if i said he’s like a midpt between peedi & freeway?

No, I think that’s pretty accurate.

I TOLD HER MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM....

cannot get this out of my head!!

Meek’s allright imho. Too bad he’s so often paired up with Rick Ross, who I can’t stand.

French Montana signed with Bad Boy

nice, when did he get dropped by akon

i don’t think he was, he was just bought by the bigger checkbook. i’m glad he didn’t sign to GOOD

big boy makes tons of sense, if they manage him correctly

lol big boy

lol i’m so tired

swap out that y for an i and pretend i’m talking about def jam

public enemy doc on bbc4 right now

chuck d : me and hank were putting up posters of malcom x when some kid comes up and asks “who’s this malcolm the tenth?” and i thought “well something’s gotta be done about this.

lol

err malcolm x even

just listened to “middle of the summer” by meek mills cuz deej posted abt it upthread

what a great song. back in the day jams 4 lyfe

quite enjoyed the public enemy doc, with some nice contributions from whiney!

The Gucci Mane/V-Nasty album leaked, for those with a morbid curiosity.

baytl is very dope if you skip forward every v-nasty verse

zaytoven is so good

Beat on “Let’s Get Faded” is dope. It’s not just that she’s a bad rapper but her voice is really grating also

is there any good ‘coke rap’ out at the moment (besides French Montana/Coke Boys, I have that....)

yeah enjoying the beats but i can’t tell if she’s got any good lines cos her voice is so shrill and off putting i’m trying to ignore her

xp

i was listening to the ‘new music’ show on the baltimore rap station and they played like half of the gucci/v-nasty single and then were like “ok that’s enough” and faded it out

you gotta check bay rappers for coke raps

yea im into stuff like J Stalin and Messy Marv....

yeah i’ve heard that coke rappers are often thuggish types with regional followings

this is pretty fun

http://suicideyear.tumblr.com/post/14000968290/waka-flocka-gucci-mane-trappin-around-the

there are some serious rhythmic issues & they had to slow gucci down to the point where he sounds heavily sedated

is “good fucking night” blowing the fuck up over there? it seriously sounds like it should be as big an anthem as “black & yellow”

it’s gonna get his album out at least

it’s been very slowly climbing up the r&b chart here for the last 3 months (and dropped a few spots from its peak this week) but yeah it definitely does feel potentially huge. it’s weird to think roscoe’s had hooks & verses on two of the biggest rap songs of the last year or two but i still kinda waiting for a solo track to pop off like that.

roscoe dash is probably my favorite hook singer in the game right now

Turns out Ab-Soul’s tape is pretty excellent.

feeling ‘shootin’ guns’ off the new 50

i guess lotus flower bomb just went number one?

lol @ miguel wearing a pat benatar jacket in the video

i think this song is kinda boring, “That Way” >>>

def

i never even gave it a full listen. its kind of blandly pandering.

wouldnt it be better if this was #1

“fuck shit” is a triple c’s song that leaked a few months back — unfortunately it’s not a gunplay solo joint

http://hulkshare.com/97ssoap5zdyw

: D

flocka/french tape drops tonight, speaking of the devil

also, this http://hulkshare.com/a211gqaijsib

french/waka delayed, drops tomorrow

pushing back a mixtape smh — they had a rolling countdown on dat piff and everything

they pushed back the gunplay too

not sure why its ‘unfortunately’ not a solo track, triple c’s are good & it will be on that mixtape so its just gunplay f. triple c’s

idk iirc the triple c’s verses were a bit underwhelming

what’s the general ETA on the gunplay? 2012?

it was supposed to be out already but they put it off 20 days i think. so around new years’ i guess?

its just a mixtape

right, i’m just wondering

danny brown being lucid & intelligent

“Guys in my neighborhood don’t listen to my music,” says Brown. “They don’t have computers. They’re not on the Internet like that, you know? To them it’s just Rick Ross and whatever goes on the radio.” Not that he’s complaining or anything. “I love it!” he adds. “I feel like a ninja or something, because I can still be on my porch drinking 40s. I’m still Daniel.”

monopoly so needed a video

too chillwavey :-(

BAYTL is better than i expected

i ws just exchanging tweets about it w/ shamrock from white rapper show lol

#2011

gucci + zaytoven can’t do no wrong

i dunno they had some bland joints here & there, it seems like whoever chose the specific beats for the project picked good ones (dunno if it was gucci, an exec producer, zay, whoever)

it took me way too long to figure out what the title ‘baytl’ meant and now i’m just thinking of how many other great theoretical collaborations would be more deserving of that title

what was with that fader post about gucci “only” making $300,000 a year? did anyone actually think that sounded too low? he’s hard pushing an album with v-nasty like it’s not even some one off shit, of course he’s not making any money

at his peak he was making what 30k per show. his price went way down b/c of arrests, i don’t know how else ppl think he’s making money — unless you have corporate deals or are selling records then you arent making shit
