They were really good when I saw them all together even though Meth was missing. I've also seen Rae once and he was great and GZA twice, he was amazing the first time and pretty poo poo the second.

The REAL Goobusters posted:Wu tang is playing a festival I'm going to this weekend and I always hear mixed things about them live. I've seen wutang maybe half a dozen times. How good the show is depends on which members of wutang are actually there. The best wutang show I ever saw was, and this is gonna sound made up, but it was just method man. The show started 2 hours late because apparently method man was holding out for more cash from the venue. But then he came out and did a really sick show and he also crowd surfed which I thought would end in disaster but it worked and owned. Also people threw lots of blunts at him and he caught and smoked one which is illegal and risky. Method man owns, wutang owns.

Method Man hyped the hell out of a show here filled with old people and grandchildren because the festival planners put them in at 6 pm before a teen pop act. I liked it and if you're gonna be there anyway, why not? Also Thugger's beast roar on Beast is making me laugh right now

has this thread finally stopped smoking the penises of young thug? i mean i like the guy but let's be real he isn't exactly a serious artist. he could be, but right now he's a lean and production fueled force of nature within the rap scene. i know i keep bringing this up but it needs to be addressed that as of right now future and thug have not shown that they can carry an album on their own and that is a problem. that means they are close to peaking and it means they are resigned to being single- and feature- rappers and not much more unless hiTunes blows everyone away. DS2 was pretty bad as a rap album. it would have been a below avg mixtape. honest has its moments but ultimately is not a great album either. barter 6 is like 1/3 skips (and that's being generous... is that considered an album or not though)?Professor Funk posted:This was a couple of pages ago but the best parts of Pinata were Shitsville, Uno, and the first minute of Real. Ok bye um the best part of pinata is thuggin' son... that's not up for debate. those parts you mentioned are great too but thuggin' is probably his best song all around.

i liek future and thug and i really dont care that you think theyre middling but i really really dont care that either of them might not make "a classic" because 1 its 2015 2 eventual hagiography is a really unsound and reductive way to qualify music

according to that one person i have a reputation for complaining about thread quality but let's face it... thread kinda sucks now im waiting for it to get good again and then we can get back to temple and alan smithee talking over everyone else while having a no music discussion about rap. part of the problem is that there hasn't been much good rap music coming out lately though. it's not like we're a bunch of good posters who suddenly lost our way.Radio Spiricom posted:i liek future and thug and i really dont care that you think theyre middling but i really really dont care that either of them might not make "a classic" because 1 its 2015 2 eventual hagiography is a really unsound and reductive way to qualify music for the record i don't think they're middling i just don't think they can stand on their own as artists and make a solid album, classic or otherwise. nice big words there in the second part of your little post but im not going to argue with you over whether or not there are classic albums that arent hagiographic. wtf is your point abotu it being 2015 anyway? thathonkey fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Nov 3, 2015 |

Everyone can understand thugger / future not being to everyone's taste. We just hate the lovely go-nowhere 'reasons retards like you bring up hyper-aggresively thinking you're the only person holding it down for real rap these days.

I'm the main Young Thug hater but whatever it isn't worth posting about here and I understand that now and let everybody enjoy their music. People agree Budden and Game made great albums and we're being more critical of Thug recently so I'm good

Just now getting to that underachievers. poo poo is so good, I've been on big trap kick lately but this is a nice change of pace. https://youtu.be/pKg9JLbUXik Unrelated are there any rappers who use pitch shifted/screwed vocals a lot aside from ASAP Rocky? I always think that poo poo sounds real cool in moderation. This exquire song is a good example http://youtu.be/AM-Kp7iyVfI

Between Summertime 06 and the new Underachievers there is gonna be lots of good winter riding music though. I think we can all agree on that. As for pitch-shifting, it's pretty much only used in moderation... I can't think of any artists that use it very often besides Rocky

When I posted the same thing I got called old (I'm 25) and nostalgic. It's funny because the streets don't really gently caress with Thug that much while Future took Gucci's throne.

I have the feeling I'm old compared to most of this thread (bout to turn 30). Future is really popular these days (deservedly so) but yeah outside of this thread very few people that I talk to know anything about thugger. and this is in atlanta. those that do know, knowc/care more about his sexuality and dress-up photos on instagram than they do his music. to date me... the "rose-tinted" golden age of rap for me was when like cash money, no limit, shady/aftermath, and bad boy were peaking (not all of these happened at the same time). but i'm talking late 90s, early aughts. in middle/high school it was all about bling bling and make em say ugnnhhh. thathonkey fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Nov 3, 2015 |

i can't believe that grown men still believe that they can tell others what to like and what not to like and get genuinely distressed when their opinions don't match up within a particular community.

I don't really understand the idea that Future couldn't make a great album. 56 nights is a great tape. There are at least 10 more great songs on monster/beast mode/ds2 that you could mix in there and make a great album. Did it come ot that way? Not so much, but DS2 is still really good and stands on its own just fine. Also Pluto is already a great album, legit aoty contender that year Wezlar fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Nov 3, 2015 |

I find the argument that Future/Thugger can't make classic albums really dumb, considering they release music in a completely different way from album-oriented rappers like Kanye or Kendrick. My playlist of leaked Thugger songs is better than most albums that dropped this year.

My playlist of leaked Thugger songs is better than most albums that dropped this year. What I want from an album is completely different from a mixtape and I'm not gonna excuse them when the album isn't good just because "they release music different". Wayne, 50, and Jezzy all put out quality tapes and singles (Wayne especially) and classic albums. It's not an excuse.
