actually a nifty trick assuming your friends are 18-24 and the type that only wanna hear stuff they already know (they are, let's be honest) is to just play popular stuff from 2000-2006 or so. They'll have a bunch of nostalgia for the poo poo they used to hear on the radio when they were 13 and you can cherry pick to take your party from: gangsta poo poo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjDdzWZxDwc to smoothed out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6y_4_b6RS8 to downright nasty (honorable mention to the Ying Yang Twins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qld7WvHa5kc or anywhere in between as you please e: hahaha I forgot how goofy the clean/video edit of Play is "work them hips, RUN girl"

Honestly if I was having a party and could only play rap I'd just put on Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa and Young Money poo poo... totally depending on whos gonna be there, of course. Basically the idea of any party is to play music that guys are gonna enjoy listening too (like jock mock said) and that girls can get slutty to. I had a party last week, but I just let the girls play whatever they wanted on Youtube because we all took a bunch of molly and alcohol and got naked. I hope yours goes well too!

oh yeah by the way the first Gangsta Gibbs/Jeezy the Snowman collab track "Stripes (Run D MC)" is pretty dope(man music), not really the kind of beat Gibbs usually goes for but I honestly think he could sound good over anything on a related note "Queen" is one of my fave story rapps over the last couple years. Just listened to it again and the last verse still gives me chills, drat e: "Way 2 Fast" is pretty drat good too. Rappers should care about poo poo more, we'd get less lovely music like what Noz was calling "regular dude rap" the other day (I'm looking at you Wiz) Jock Mocken fucked around with this message at 08:22 on May 7, 2011 |

Rappers should care about poo poo more, we'd get less lovely music like what Noz was calling "regular dude rap" the other day (I'm looking at you Wiz) I read his whole thing about that, and tbh it just seemed like something he made up to describe poo poo he doesn't like. Almost like a reverse "no true Scotsman" argument. Like people would mention "regular dude rappers" who fit his criteria but his rebuttal would just be something like "nah, he's a good rapper so he can't be a regular dude!" even if it was someone who rapped about the same poo poo he derided (I remember Devin the Dude was mentioned as one). Like, most of the Native Tongues would've been regular dudes, Pharcyde was 2 regular dudes and one crazy regular dude, the entirety of Hiero, etc. You could make an argument for early Mobb being "regular dudes" except they were regular dudes who were caught up in serious poo poo On Infamous Prodigy even talks about just being an ordinary guy, not a superman or w/e (which is really funny when compared to his solo work but w/e). And that's ignoring all the rhymesayers/anticon type "emo" poo poo. Like he talked about escaping mediocrity being a defining goal, but I think he really ignored the ability some people have to celebrate the ordinary. I mean it's one thing to get to live out your drug kinpin fantasies listening to Ghost, but it's still valuable to hear someone rap about poo poo you do and make it not seem like some depressing grind. Or give voice to the fact that it is a depressing grind, but let you know other people going through the same poo poo. Ice Cube's "Good Day" was a song about just having a regular day and being a regular dude, and that it was a good thing to not have to be some mega-gangsta, and I don't think the song suffers for that. Really I think there's just a certain group of rappers he doesn't like and tried to think of some common thread to tie them together as something more, instead of just being like "yeah I don't like rapper X and MC Y". alansmithee fucked around with this message at 08:41 on May 7, 2011 |

Personally I don't mind hearing someone rap about material poo poo as long as it's interesting (Gucci, Dro, old Chamillionaire) but I'd rather hear Gibbs on some Art of Storytellin/Brenda's Got A Baby poo poo than hear about the last huge blunt of kush that Wiz Khalifa smoked

I'll just preface this by saying Gambino is the first hip hop artist who has ever appealed to me. My tastes generally stem from roots or experimental music, but a soon as I heard The Real I loved it, mostly because of the backing track because I was big into Sleigh Bells at the time, but after each listen I liked the lyrics more and more. Listening to I am Just a Rapper 1 and 2 was the first time I'd felt I could relate to a rapper or hip hop artist as a person as a member of their audience.

There is also a Don Glover thread in NMD but I assume you're here to find some real rappers you might like. Please refer to the OP for suggestions on how to do that but real talk I just listened to some of his poo poo for the first time and his flow sounds like a hybrid of Drake and recent vintage Lil Wayne so check out some Young Money poo poo I guess? Also want to point out that Killer Mike had a much better yellabone line with just "Zulu Lucy Liu in my ride" versus that goofy Black & Yellow reference in Freaks and Geeks

I posted this in the recommendation thread, but I figured I could get a better response in here. So I stopped keeping up with new rap releases when my internet died out in the summer of 09 and I totally realized its been so long that I don't know what I've missed and I don't know where to start. I think the newest releases I've heard were the last couple Rick Ross albums (which I liked a lot), UGK 4 Lyfe (it wasn't so good), and the Burrprint 2 (it was ok). FWIW I don't like any based, college weed raps (Wiz Khalifa and poo poo) or Wolf Gang related stuff. One of the few newer things that caught my attention was Lex Luger, his songs for Rick Ross were sick. I also kind of like trap poo poo, but sometimes it ain't enough for me. Old poo poo I dig (if it helps at all): 80s and 90s southern poo poo (bass music, Houston, Memphis, New Orleans and Atlanta not as much) and all the obvious poo poo. DJ Paul and Juicy J are my heroes, production wise. So what are like 5 essential releases from the last 2 years I should check out? The amount of mixtapes I missed is huge and I can't tackle that with out some direction. farmtrill posted:the new killer mike mixtape is dope http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/13752/killer_mike_bang_x3.html Well poo poo I'll start with that.

Whoever recommended the new Self-Scientific EP a couple pages ago (I think it was this thread?), thank you. Shits on repeat. On an unrelated note, Pusha T - I Still Wanna Rock [feat. Rick Ross & Ab-Liva] is such a sick song... "You know what fame is? Sittin' with the woman of your dreams and forgettin' what her name is/You know what pain is? Flushin' two bricks and tryna have a n-gga strain it out the drainage"

Flockaveli Fat Trel's last mixtape (Luger Beats) Juicy J-Rubba Band Business 1&2. I hate those because the "rhyming" is junk but it's more of DAT NIGGA LEX LUGER so there's some redeeming value. There's a bunch more poo poo that's good but there's a start. Also the ADD album people linked recently is really solid too but not sure it fits in with the other stuff you mentioned.

The Doo Do Chasers posted:I posted this in the recommendation thread, but I figured I could get a better response in here. First things first, G-Side's The One... Cohesive is a contender for album of the year, so check that out. I think Huntsville International came out at the end of 2009, so get that and the leftovers if you dig One... Second, I co-sign everything alansmithee said as well as that Gunplay tape, though if you missed Play Me Some Pimpin 2, I think that's a much better project than either of the Rubba Band Businesses. Of course, Project Pat has pretty much always been a better rapper than his brother. As far as Gucci stuff goes, Burrprint 2 is one of his weaker efforts since it was put together from leftovers while he was in the joint. Gucci tapes to check for since mid 2009 or so off the top of my head: Movie 3D, Cold War series (could easily be condensed down to one really good disc though), Mr. Zone 6, Jewelry Selection, and The Gooch (unofficial tape, has a lot of good loosies on it). A lot of his best stuff from that period was guest verses though, anyone who bought one from him in 08 or 09 definitely got their money's worth. Make sure to listen to at least Z-Ro's Cocaine. Heroin recycled a lot of songs but Blast Myself is amazing. I've already talked about Starlito in this thread, but he's a got a new mixtape so I need to bring him up again anyway. If you just listen to one project from him, make it Renaissance Gangster. (btw alansmithee did you ever listen to that?) There's a lot of other good poo poo like Big Boi, Playboy Tre, Yo Gotti, Rittz, Yelawolf, A.Leon Craft, Fat Tony, Field Mob, Roc Marciano, but this is already way more than you asked for so uhhh top 5: G-Side - The One... Cohesive Big KRIT - KRIT Wuz Here Juicy J and Project Pat - Play Me Some Pimpin 2 Waka Flocka Flame - Flockaveli Chopped Not Slopped by DJ Lil Steve Lil Boosie - Redemption If you don't like Boosie, then get Field Mob - Brotha 2 Brotha

But yeah, thanks for all the recs I'm gonna listen to them tonight since I have zero things going on. Another question, are any of the older, lesser known Memphis guys still doing anything good? Like Koopsta or Lil Gin or Skinny Pimp or any of those guys really. I know they all have post-Triple 6 releases that I've never heard, just curious if they're still alive. I forgot about the last couple Z-Ro tapes, those were great, loved Crack and Cocaine. Fondren and Maine is probably the most psychedelic rap will ever get.

If you like that old Memphis stuff, check out J-Green. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGreQzgpD84 Lil Loco-"Yella Tape tha Murder Scene" has some old school Memphis poo poo, I think he's DJ Paul's little cuz or something. Deadly Stang has Koopsta Knicca AND Lord Inf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEcNR8W11uQ Edit: T-Rock has been the most active ex-HCP member, I think J-Green started off working with him. I don't really like his new new stuff because the production is mad repetitive, but he's signed/worked with some pretty dope rappers. You might like Slikk, C-Mob, and Mac Montese. He did an album called "Blood Money" with II Tone (wack) and Lord Infamous (dope) you'd probably like that.
