Yeah it's pretty bad. I kinda like that song with Busta though. The beats are the worst part of the album. Its disgustingly overproduced.

"I take strong exception to the words 'I don't like New York,'" responding to Wayne's recent revelation about his feelings for the city. The Senator, who described himself as "angry," "taken aback," and "shocked" at Wayne's words, held a news conference in Father Duffy Square to demand an apology, according to the New York Times. http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.20886/title.new-york-senator-demands-apology-from-lil-wayne-for-i-dont-like-new-york-comment What a joke

 Anyone hip to this guy? I've been listening to him a lot in the past 2-3 months. This album is key, his other ones aren't as good, imo. But he's a Jewish white dude from NYC who can rip it. Get this album, I recommend track number 7, "Excuse You".

His first EP "It's Very Stimulating" was far better (mainly because it had Prince Paul production). But I don't know if you'll find many dudes like him now, because anyone who would've sounded like him either became a joke nerdcore artist or became a frat-rapper who takes themselves much too seriously. They don't even pretend to rap anymore but I'd seriously recommend WHY? out of Anticon for something with a similar tone (alopecia and elephant eyelash, specifically). You may also like donglover but that dude takes himself way too loving seriously and his albums suffer a lot for it (also he's pretty much a Wayne ripoff in terms of style). Of course you may not have actually wanted recommendations for similar stuff which is cool too but I know there's at least 5 people here who would know about Barman and I'm probably the one who likes him the most of them.

That's why I like Barman, he doesn't take himself serious. He seems to ride the lines of genres, going from nerdcore to borderline sexcore, on some Kool Keith poo poo at times. Like the track(s?) with Princess Superstar for example. He has some good poo poo going on in a lot of his tracks. Yeah, my buddy who introduced me to Paul's music has mentioned Anticon more than a handful of times, I just never got a chance to check it out.

I think there are far more famous, lovely black rappers than white rappers. If you aren't doing something REALLY right when you're a white rapper, your career never had a chance. You either need next level beats, next level flow (Shady and Yela), or next level marketing (Mac Miller). Otherwise you're hosed.

Also there's probably way more known lovely black rappers than white rappers by just raw numbers, but I'd say by ratio there's more white rappers that suck when you take into account how few there are relatively.

Yeah there are a couple things on Anticon that are similar maybe but those dudes take themselves super-serious (or at least they used to when I listened to stuff the label put out frequently). Serengeti's album "Noodle Arm Whimsy" might be somthing else you'd like-he's on Anticon now but also makes super-serious music that isn't really good now (noodle arm wasn't on anticon).

Yeah but my point is if the rapper is white and lovely, they won't even become a big name because they are white. Meanwhile, if a rapper is black and lovely, they have a chance of becoming famous based on a ton of white people treating them like borderline-minstrels. If you are white and absolutely suck you aren't going to get any exposure unless you're doing something really right. Take Riff Raff as the perfect example. As for Yelawolf, he clearly has skill, and I do believe his flow is next level. He's not doing ABAB, AA,BB, or anything that I could even type out as a pattern of letter. The way he spits (for the most part, and I say this because, like many rappers these days, the sheer volume his work makes for quite a few lovely tracks) is unlike any other rapper in the game today. His verses are tactful and original and often times tell a story (a skill that 70% of rappers these days no longer have). You can say what you want about how his race and region made him big, but I don't think being white has been a positive thing for someone's rap career in ages. White people even don't like white rappers for the most part.

Since I know this miserable topic of white rappers is going to get stretched out and since we're on the tangent of Yelawolf, I thought I'd post this song which features three (3!) white rappers from the South who fall into that whole canon of guys with interesting flows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHmhZiRk3SU "Far From a Bitch" Yelawolf ft. Rittz, Struggle & Big HUD I could really care less if someone is getting attention because of things like race or some gimmick, so long as the guys have talent. Rittz is one of the most incredible rappers out right now and he happens to look like a giant awkward redheaded weirdo and it doesn't matter to me one bit his skin color (so long as that orange hair just POPS) epitasis posted:Dope swastika tattoo, speaking of which. http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/07/26/gunplay-justifies-swastika-tattoo-nazi-references/ posted:Maybach Music Group rapper Gunplay is opening up about the swastika tattoo on the back of his neck. When asked about the controversial ink, he told Pigeons and Planes, "Yeah, it痴 just my symbol of genocide to the bulls---. Mass murdering the bullsh--. Too much bullsh-- out here.

Sorry if we're discussing stuff and not working as your personal new music blog, we'll make sure and step up the efforts! In the meantime, have you thought of checking out 2dopeboys.com??? They might have what you're looking for! phractured posted:Yeah but my point is if the rapper is white and lovely, they won't even become a big name because they are white.

If you are white and absolutely suck you aren't going to get any exposure unless you're doing something really right. Take Riff Raff as the perfect example. I think you're underrating the "lovely white dude" demographic. You mentioned two yourself (Mac Miller and Riff Raff) who are def getting a big boost by being white, but there's a bunch. And that's also ignoring all the cutesy-white-girl "thug" rappers who've started popping up. There's definitely a minstrel-like vibe to how a lot of black dudes get "listened to" by certain elements, but there's also a lot of white people who just love buying music by dudes who look like them. Hell, even Eminem (who was legit ridiculously good) had a lot of shine from being white. As for Yelawolf, I won't go into it much but imo his whole "flow" is roughly just hillbilly stacatto. Like, he's not that much better than dudes like Crucial Conflict or w/e. Not saying he's bad at all (although I've never really been much into him) but I don't see anything that new or amazing, either. Although this is really tangential to the main debate and more a taste thing. Also Gunplay always shouting out "Don ADOLF Logan" and stuff in his songs and mentions his swastika tat in his stuff, so it's not anything he really runs from. That quote is wild though, and really how can you not like anyone with that attitude? I'm almost wondering if stuff like that though isn't why MMG isn't promoting him more. Like, he's had "features" on both the self-made albums but wasn't actually included in the MMG group shots and stuff like that. Not that they don't put his stuff up and he's obviously on the label, but they could give him the Wale push or something (although maybe when his actual album comes out he'll get it?). Still think it was funny in the pitchfork review they said they the reason he's kept away is because they're "afraid what he might do to a gentle soul like Stalley".

In the meantime, have you thought of checking out 2dopeboys.com??? They might have what you're looking for! I'm not even going to touch on white girl rappers because, unless they are doing electric music, they suck for the most part. I really don't think Mac Miller being white is what made him so popular either. Mac Miller climbed the ladder by hopping on the Wiz train to make weed and party rap. The content is the same poo poo at Wiz's stuff and one of them is black and the other is white. I think it's just a really dumb argument to say that being white is advantageous for becoming a successful rapper because if you look at the scoreboard, black rappers win out all day long. If a white guy was making Trap music all day everyone would just laugh at his honkey rear end, and even if he did manage to sell enough records from his early stuff, by the time that white guy has money, his fan base is just going to see him as another rich white dude. Meanwhile, black rappers, some who are making a lucrative living thanks to big labels, can forever rap about selling drugs and guns in the present tense well after they have been out of the drug game for years. If you're a black rapper, there is a still good chance you can get signed spewing the same old flows and same old rhymes (or lack their of; I'm looking at you Chief Keef). If you're a white rapper, being white is going to set you back because everyone already expects you to suck. I just really think it's preposterous to believe that being white is an advantage when over half the time everyone just thinks a new white rapper is going to be some Backpacker emo bullshit. That's my final argument because we obviously won't see eye to eye and it's the internet so who cares. In other news, Top Dawg Ent has just been pouring out great tracks. Ab-Soul released a track called "Nibiru." This track has been on constant replay for me. Kendrick Lamar has also been getting around, finding himself featured on tracks with Young Jeezy and DJ Khaled. Also Jay Rock (not to be confused with J Rocc of Stone's Throw) released a track called Yola. and ScHoolboy Q released a track called "Party." All quality tracks.
