What are some songs that have slurred speech/sound like Chief Keef's verse on Top in the Trash? For some reason I think that's the catchiest part of the song. In exchange heres the Top 6 song they used in their gangland episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=src_-0XyJG0

New Joey Bada$$. Not bad, feels a bit darker than his other stuff, and he's not as shrill as he can be in the first verse of this. Hoping this next album is better than Summer Knights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmC2igVQdxc

Cormega released Mega Philosophy last month. I've liked every song I've heard on there but I haven't heard it all. He features one of my top 3 favorite rappers Black Rob on Home. The song is about 2 minutes long and only has 2 verses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4f0ccSfGX8 Other standouts are of course Industry, which may have heard and MARS (Mega, Redman, AZ, Style P), that contains 3 of my other favorite rappers. Mega has good taste. My undisputed favorite song of the summer is Hot Nigga. He's so young and meancing. It isn't Shook Ones but it will do. Noz said he was copying Chicago but I don't feel that way. He puts a little more creativity and effort in what he's saying imo. The other song I like right now is OM by NehruvianDOOM. Bishop Nehru is boring but he has some quality that holds potential. He has that cool delivery that NY is known for and is confident without posturing. Byron Crawford of XXL blogging fame did a write-up on Mike Brown, Ferguson MO, and race issues. You don't have read it all but I've pasted the part about hiphop here. quote:Three days after the kid got killed, I’ve yet to hear a rap song about it. If this were 2001, some bum mixtape rapper would have at least used Mike Brown’s name as an inappropriate punchline. We’re somehow moving backwards technologically. One of the promises of all this digital technology is that rappers would be able to record protest songs in drat near real time; the same day an unarmed black man was killed by the police a rapper could record and release a song complaining about it. Instead, all we’ve got is people recording their own versions of “Hot Nigga” by Bobby Shmurda.

Bol's thing is pretty rambling. Isn't this Mike Brown situation getting a whole bunch of media attention? There's no coverage gap there for a Public Enemy to fill anymore, they solved the problem of getting black people issues on the news. That's a win for hip-hop! That's why actual CNN is the CNN of black people now, a protest song isn't going to accomplish more than #IfTheyGunnedMeDown. Sadly but accurately the zeitgeist of this generation is recognizing the only way not get randomly beaten and shot and generally mistreated in 2014 American society is to get your rear end in the 1%. So that's where hip-hop lives now, somewhere between aspiration and video game level escapism. If you're still getting your social justice news from hip-hop  And No Flex Zone is easily the song of the summer. And this new Kevin Gates is tight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GlLNXy1_VE And the sub bass on this new Live from Fulton County Gucci intro is drat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgdkbyGXtQg And this potato-recorded new Kanye single is gonna be major https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_ojPjR4MKM

That's not all of them. At first glance I notice there's no Wilt Chamberlain tapes. Felix Brothers is missing too, though that's not Gucci solo ed - Gangsta Grillz - The Movie isn't in the list either, and that's one of Gucci's best Robawesome fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Aug 14, 2014 |

temple posted:The question is better phrased as why does the music only reflect one dimension of the listeners? It didn't always. What changed? It doesn't now only reflect one dimension, looking at the whole. And as far as "mainstream" rap it's always tended more towards one dimension anyways. Dudes seriously have a skewed view of the past and what music was out and available-PE wasn't just an outlier but isn't really that different than what Kanye was doing on some songs with Yeezus. When PE was actually making good music, I think MC Hammer had the best selling rap album. Bol is by far my fav rap writer, but dudes tastes are firmly in the 90's/early 2000s and it doesn't seem like he's ever tried to identify any newer music that isn't getting immediate buzz. His tumblr feed is great if you want to find out what a bunch of indy rappers from the 90's are up to now (which is usually remaking whatever poo poo they did in the past for an increasingly shrinking fanbase). Dudes seriously more tuned into indie rock now than any modern rap stuff. I think the situation is a lot less that rap isn't serving black people anymore but more that black culture itself has changed to have different focuses. When PE was big you had a lot of the back-to-africa/pro-black stuff being promulgated. That's just not really present anymore. GET MONEY posted:Bol's thing is pretty rambling.

Rap's not just aspiration and excapism-that's some straight up bullshit based solely on that being what you wanna listen to. And getting your info from rap isn't any worse than any other source, especially now when "social justice" is just something you say to let other people know how progressive you are and make your twitter feed seem a bit less inane. And if anyone really thinks there's not a coverage gap between news outlets and what's impacting blacks in the US they're a clown.

temple posted:What bothers me is the energy rappers put into informing us of their gang affiliation and the price of cocaine. But they resort to passive admission of police brutality, drug abuse, and socio-economy realities. People are bored of gently caress Da Police but they are still entertained by Dopeman. Some how some way, anti-oppression themes are muted. Expecting every rapper to be Chuck D or NWA-era Ice Cube is straight up unfair. There's something to be said for balance in any genre when it comes to subject matter. Additionally, hip-hop tends to concern itself a great deal with authenticity, so I could see it going very poorly for rappers who concern themselves with the subject matter you brought up suddenly deciding they give a gently caress about things like what we're seeing in Missouri. Killer Mike has always talked about both sociopolitical stuff AND stuff like drug dealing. It works for him, it'd be a bit weird if Iggy Azalea tried that poo poo.

Some how some way, anti-oppression themes are muted. That's not really a new change though. It took one year for NWA to go from 100 Miles and Runnin' to Niggaz4Life which is a totally different tone. And that stuff was mostly done by '92 and the "golden age". Now, were there more "underground" dudes talking that stuff? Of course, but that's no different today. Besides, you can still find those themes in modern music. It's lazy to just point to NWA/PE and say nothing's like that anymore when 1) they weren't the norm in their time (or at least the more "anti-oppression themes in their music) and b) their careers weren't entirely that music. And if you're going by sales or whatever, people are bored as gently caress by Dopeman as well. Don't get me wrong, I'd appreciate more outwardly-aggressive gangsta music, but NWA was the aberration, not the norm for the era. Also when they came out that was a lot more shocking and impactful-now talking about shooting cops and gently caress that police isn't some anti-authoritarian statement, it's well-worn ground in rap.
