Kenshin posted:I'll agree with that. I thought it'd be a bit more upbeat but I actually enjoy almost all of it which considering my regular tastes in hiphop surprises even me. I've yet to find much by Future or Lil Wayne that I really like so I'm not sure why I enjoy Barter 6, but maybe my tastes are changing/expanding. I know this is about a single song and not Young Thug in general, but I feel like it kind of applies to a lot of his music. noz posted:Those clips of Drake and Kanye turning up to “Danny Glover” do a great job of precisely illustrating what that record does to all human beings - it zombifies them into nothing but rap hands and shoulders. Or at least that should be the response. I know everybody has dramatically different standards of what a rapper is supposed to do these days but I find it hard to believe that any self respecting fan of the genre could hear “Danny Glover” loudly and feel nothing.

To answer Noz' question, I feel like I'm being vaguely cheated somehow. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, seriously correct me. But basically, what we've decided is, is that to be a hit rapper, all you need to do is have interesting/goofy ad-libs? loving ad-libs? That's what makes a rap star in 2015? I guess I just haven't drank the kool-aid or something. I've listened to enough of Thugga's music over the past year to give him a chance, since he's gotten such insane hype, but he is just completely loving terrible. He's not even like Flocka or someone, who admit's he can't rap (though he's actually getting pretty good at it), but who makes energetic and fun music. I don't need anyone to explain the appeal to me or whatever, since I can decide whether or not I like music by myself. But... goddamn, man.

Im with you on Thug. He does absolutely zero for me outside of interesting hooks but different strokes and all that but I dont see him having much staying power God I miss Jeezy's old ad libs so much

vanbags posted:What has J Cole said? Cole has a couple bars on Fire Squad that goes: "History repeats itself and that's just how it goes Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock n Roll Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore While silly niggas argue over who gon' snatch the crown Look around, my nigga, white people have snatched the sound This year I’ll prolly go to the awards dappered down Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true poo poo Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with" He explains his own reasoning for those bars (which he even says in the song itself that it's in jest) here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqY9kWa6vrc (I queued you to the part about the verse but the entire interview is a pro watch)

I think the biggest appeal of Young Thug isn't his ad libs or his lyrics but that his vocal delivery is really musical in an exciting/interesting/different way. His ability to rap in the traditional technical sense is definitely questionable (though I think he's at the very least average for popular rap in 2015 whatever that says) but he brings something fairly unique and awesome to his songs and when they hit (especially like Stoner or Danny Glover) they really hit.

the_american_dream posted:God I miss Jeezy's old ad libs so much Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm still amazed at how much I stopped caring about Jeezy in 2010. That was also the year I got into Gucci, who I find to be way more interesting. Not to mention has amazing adlibs. I've had "BURR" as my text ringtone since 2009 so I might be a bit of a Stan. JK, I am. Still haven't listened to TPAB or Barter 6, although I'll listen to the latter today. I dunno. I've been feeling a bit of a disconnect from rap, although I've definitely been digging Father. Why hasn't he been brought up? Not insanely new, but doing his own production is p cool and they're catchy songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfhRMGlFUdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSJPTxr17xE

Shrug I like Cole, don't think he's second coming like his stans do. Jesus say anything bad about Cole and they start talking about how he's Nas or some poo poo. But his Mixtapes were good, and I liked 2 of his 3 albums.

Yeah, Kanye is probably one of the best at promoting those he signs. Pusha was everywhere with Kanye, and had a ton of features. Ditto with Sean. Like hes promoted the loving hell out of Big Sean. Vic Mensa is going to be loving everywhere by the end of this year. And his ceiling I think is higher as a mainstream guy than Sean.

I think he wrongly gets portrayed as disloyal because he chose Jay over Dame, but he maintains a relationship with Dame to this day and pretty much everyone who helped him along the way. That on top of the way he treats his GOOD Music artists, I think he's one of the most stand up guys in hip-hop. But if you're an up and coming rapper I can't think of a solid reason to sign under Jay unless your only aspiration is 15 minutes of fame. Since Rocafella he has a 0% success rate of developing and marketing artists. J Cole is his biggest success, which is saying a lot.

Do rappers even need guns? Have rappers really ever been drug dealers and gang members? I always thought that was marketing. I just can't see how you go from slinging crack to getting your demo in the hands of a sony exec.

It's just a bunch of speed rapping for the most part but it's at least pretty impressive in that aspect. Otherwise there doesn't seem to be any reason for this track to exist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FBwVRNOL70 It is interesting hearing both Tech N9ne and Eminem on the same track at least--Eminem might be a bit faster but Tech enunciates a lot better.
