I went from being meh on that Kendrick song to liking it a lot. Good positive music and a cool music video. It's like a rap version of Happy, meaning we'll all hate it in 6 months when we never stop hearing it but until then

im gay posted:I wasn't really feeling it, some tracks I liked, others were meh. 6ix Commandments was one of my favorite releases last year though and I still bump it regularly. Looking forward to their upcoming album though. Rip Infamous. It and that new Future have been on constant rotation since last week. There are too many skits but none of the real songs are skips. Three 6 is the best at posse songs and every song has at least one good feature, Fiend and MJG both stand out. I like that they've gone back to that earlier horrorcore sound. I used to think it was weak how much they sampled their own music but now that that early 90's Memphis sound has become influential it adds an extra layer of authenticity since it's their sound people are reimagining or whatever. I think lean is unhealthy though and it gets glorified too much, especially on Hydrocodone. Also I don't understand giving shoutouts to Pimp C and DJ Screw when you make songs about the thing that helped kill them.

Anyone else in SomethingAwful Rap thread wish Dr. Dre/Jay-Z/Eminem were still young & putting out badass tracks every three months? alansmithbee? doctor thodt? TenaciousTomato? thoughts? I haven't been real impressed with Migos lately. They seem like teenagers in grownups' clothes. http://bigghostlimited.com/big-ghost-presents-the-6th-annual-10-softest-niggas-in-the-game/ Ghostface Killa goes in with the commentary here (apparently it's not really him, it's actually just some blogger). I thought it was worth sharing in a rap discussion thread anyways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-qmZ_J7WGc New Track from Ghostface. Pretty badass e: I don't really understand the hate I'm getting from you, Yuzenn. LOX is a pretty good rap group but not great. Compare LOX with Jay-Z's company, Roc Nation: every single album the Roc has put out has been influential & successful, even the bad ones. Has LOX even put anything out recently that was good besides that one track? Name one hot song from LOX, Yuzenn, if you can even find one. I'm not trying to hate on LOX, I'm just sayin, they are not mainstream stars like Jay-Z/Drake/Rick Ross/Nicki Minaj, etc. Even Eminem does big numbers financially & he is basically a middle-aged dude.

I was not sure you were serious and trolling us all but I think you actually do not know about the LOX. By your logic Wu-Tang or the Ruff Ryders or the Diplomats weren't that great of a rap group cause they don't put up Jay-Z numbers (which is a completely terrible barometer of how to judge rap talent, otherwise Macklemore is top 5). By the way, the majority of Jay-Z's material was put out by Roc-A-Fella, not Roc Nation (which artists include WILLOW SMITH and only have 7 total albums produced since 2008). The LOX were signed to Bad Boy, which had tremendous success in its own right. Lets get serious here for a second; have you never heard "All about the Benjamins", "We'll Always Love Big Papa", "Money, Power, Respect", "Wild Out"? I would find that very hard to believe unless you only recently started to listen to rap and then I would understand why you wouldn't know much about the LOX. If that's the case, welcome to the thread but you have some catching up to do listening wise..... They don't put out "mainstream" music these days but their issue hasn't been the volume of music they put out, since collectively they have put out a TON of rap music over the years and i'm not even counting the easily hundreds of mixtape releases/freestyles and singles. Even looking at their individual careers Styles P and Jadakiss had one decent solo album (Sheek Louch is debatable but didn't do very well saleswise). Individually and collectively the Lox has had success and they are one of most iconic rap groups I can think of. *On a different note that Slaughterhouse track is going to get me to pre-order that ShadyXV album, loving it. * Yuzenn fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Nov 5, 2014 |

LOX reminds me of Wu-Tang clan, which is not really my cup of tea per se (too jokey/corny). They seem to attract the sort of fans that are anti-mainstream just to be anti-mainstream. You know, like the people who hate Apple because it's so great, those sorts of people. I prefer more the 50cent 'How to Rob' brand of hip-hop. Also, not trying to take you back to Earth from Hell or anything but Rihanna is like the biggest pop star in the world at the moment, signed to Roc Nation. Hate on that all you want. All I'm saying is when comparing the LOX to the ROC, the LOX loses, Yuzenn. That's all. Admittedly, Rita Ora is not -that- hot of a success anywhere but England, and in any case they are both pop stars & not really rappers per se. I love me some Jay-Z. Now why can't he drop singles like this every month or two? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScYNjoZlgug "This particular watch be a one of one." LL Cool J just dropped a new single that is pretty badass: http://nahright.com/news/2014/11/03/ll-cool-j-break-your-face-prod-by-808-mafia/ LL Cool J Break Your Face Pretty cool/really wierd ASAP Rocky x Skrillex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eWdbMBYlH4 I like Macklemore. I think he's ok. That Cadillac song is pretty catchy and that Grammy Kendrick Lamar line was funny. Seems like the sort of thing I would do if I were a rapper. I wouldn't say I'm a stan of him or anything tho. e: Cool Buff Man posted:I wanna kiss you on the mouth you stupid sack of poo poo lmao... ooookayyy Cool Buff Man you really got me dude.

He seems pretty competent though, it'll be interesting to see what he puts out in the future - he's got an 2012 tape which I haven't listened to yet, but I gather he had some issues with depression/alcohol after it's release, hence the two and half year gap -. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKOQIPbKRSM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czpQR-Hu0Zg

I don't know if you are literally 11 or 75, or if this is the greatest troll in history. Where do I start? Wu-Tang is jokey/corny? The Lox being Anti-Mainstream? How can you be into the "50 Cent How to Rob" rap and not the dudes who did it the same way right before him? The LOX was in the Ruff Ryders ffs, it doesn't get any more angrier and hardcore for rap in that era. It's like you missed the entire 90's and early to mid 2000's catalog of rap....... *Before we continue on this wonderous ride, I will reiterate that its foolish to make album sales the measure of an artists talent or relevance. If you are going to compare everyone else to Jay-Z or Eminem your list of people that are good begins and ends with them (Well really Kanye and Eminem because he's sold more than Jay). Also, Rihanna has not released a single record under Roc Nation, they just manage her. This is comparing apples to oranges here however, the Lox are artists and Roc Nation is a record label. I mean Angie Martinez is on Roc Nation, Angie can't rap! http://on.cc.com/QDjE4m skip to 3:30 to get that last part

I was reading an article recently and it mentioned Tyler, the Creator kinda offhand as a comparison with dudes who were relatively ordinary but got by a lot on shock value initially to generate buzz. And that made me decide to revisit a lot of the early OF stuff. So if you're entirely uninterested in OF and/or don't like long, possibly rambly posts you might as well skip by this. Obviously a lot of the initial buzz has died down (although I believe they still got their show, and at least Tyler and Earl seem to have broken through somewhat towards being more "traditional" with their release schedules rather than just forgotten about entirely) but I was wondering if all the early excitement I had for the initial releases had any validity. (I'm also kinda ignoring Jet Age of Tomorrow since they never seemed to get in the "main" stuff and Pyramid Vritra seems to be doing fine outside that envelope). Early on there was a lot of comparisons with Wu-Tang, which I don't think are entirely off-base. The biggest differences I see are that Wu did most of their stuff in a different environment (and all had major label deals when that was actually a good thing), and frankly most of the Wu dudes were/are far better at rapping. That said, I still think the albums from that period hold up well. A lot of that is the function of the production-looking at all the early OF stuff he did, plus Goblin and Wolf, I really think it's hard to not consider Tyler one of the best producers working today. He doesn't really do much (anything?) outside his own stuff anymore it seems (I don't think he did anything on Earl's album, and the Hodgy/Mellowhype stuff was mostly Left Brain iirc) but there's always all sorts of stuff going on in his beats, yet they don't really seem cluttered or overwhelming. Dude's a decent enough rapper, and Earl's good, but I think both him and Earl were seriously helped by the production. A lot of the time what I before thought was changes in flow were actually some subtle shifts in the underlying production. Like a lot of the emotional impact and whatnot were actually due to Tyler shifting gears with the beat. As for non-Tyler dudes, Earl gets a decent amount of press but I'm unsure if the brainwashing totally ruined him or not. His last album was something I couldn't get into much at all. Hodgy's actually gotten better as a rapper, but he was always in kinda an odd spot. I always thought a lot of the more out-there stuff didn't suit him, and trying to keep up with Earl and Tyler didn't emphasize his strengths. His very first album I always kinda liked even if it was a bit sloppy-besides the production which I liked, it was just a basic album about growing up as a pretty regular black dude. That type of subject matter isn't always exciting to people (understandably so) and I'm not saying it was amazing, but I will say there's definitely a room for young black dudes to rap about their lives when they're not trying to be super-gangsters or w/e. He low key released a couple of decent EPs more in that vein, but those were largely ignored. The Mellowhype stuff seemed to degrade a lot though-Left Brain's production quit being as weird, and the rapping was functional but nothing more. Domo's first album I liked alot, and like Hodgy he seemed to get better as a rapper but nobody really cared. Mike G still (to my knowledge) still hasn't released anything outside his EP. Well that's a lot of words, but yeah Tyler's actually really good! And the other OF dudes are all decent, even if they don't dominate the music conversation as much as before. I also think OF is probably the closest corollary to see how the A$AP dudes will do-whenever one of the main dudes come out with something you'll get a lot of buzz and stuff but the minute it's released you'll start hearing about how they were all hype and whatever since they're no longer dropping music every 2 months or something (fwiw I think Tyler's a better rapper than Rocky, and a better producer than any of the A$AP dudes). (as an aside, based on a cursory exam of other stuff dude wrote I don't think the guy who wrote the article I mentioned really knows much about rap).

HoneyBoy posted:Same, big difference is ASAP doesn't go corny/embarrassing the way some Odd Future stuff does. Pretty much any time anyone who's not Ferg or Rocky rap it's pretty corny and/or embarrassing. That said I totally get where dudes are coming from. I thought Wolf was amazingly produced, and had some great songs, but the whole tone is definitely tedious at times and I'd probably say Trap Lord was a better overall album. I think Tyler's a better rapper in a vacuum maybe, but it's really irrelevant to make pretty, well-rapped songs about poo poo I (or others) don't care about whatsoever. And where I actually like Hodgy's solo EPs for the most part, I can def see where dudes don't get excited about songs largely about regular dude poo poo. There's definitely a lack of...personality? style? from the OF stuff, especially after they toned down the violence in their stuff.
