his blog was dope & covered lots of good music. no need for the tinfoil hat on that

i have often suspected, tho, that much of rocky's early acclaim owes credit to yams strategic use of the nbomb in the tumblr title. the press chasing authenticity.

theres an SD remix of this coming out soon that knocks

lil durk, king louie, tree, chief keef, giftz

i think SD is more promising than ppl realized at first & lil reese is punching out of his weight class well. i think chance will become a good or even great artist at some point. i think chinchilla meek is more promising than people realize.

dope i thought that was the best track off that project

i tried but cant get into glizzy, his voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me

my only question is how many more days is this gonna go on

I feel like August has been the weakest month for new releases from chicago all year. no offense to YP & Mikkey, who both def had some joints, but more at like ground level. 19 people were shot last night across the city, including 8 people in one mass-shooting along 75th street which is where two g...

he raps fine, he sounds like himself & isn't overly technical or particularly awkward, but more importantly he drops good songs imo

is '30 yr old white bloggers are making this stuff popular' the new 'the labels are forcing people to like gangster and pop rap'. this stuff was taking off on its own. stop giving them more importance than they deserve. you cant control what goes viral, you can only shove how it's discussed in one ...

yall are mad abt the troy ave thing? ive liked some of his other songs \oO/

those were unrelated ideas

whoa whoa whoa i don't think i did anything heroic here dont get me wrong. this shit is way complicated

That said, obviously I do think that unquestionably for lots & lots of white people, yes, depictions of violence and aggression and general 'ignorance' among blacks in rap, that are this gratuitous are entertaining to them.

Listening to other Yung Simmie stuff on youtube & I don't really hear the chi thing in any of it, just in this partic track

thats an arbitrary-ass definition of 'trap beats' & considering most ppl credit shawty redd w/ being the big shift i dont think its really accurate

the lost influence here when everyone talks about 'trap beats' like they all sound like lex luger is what was all over chi radio (and many other regions) in the late 00s -- Trill Fam / mouse on the track / 'wipe me down' rmx, 'tatted up' by the alliance, 'pop lock and drop it,' all those brittle, 80...

this notion of a universal trap beat style is kind of ludicrous btw . or that its 'atlanta's sound.' shawty redd is from atl, drumma boy is from memphis, lex is from virginia, zaytoven is from the bay area. the reason it's an 'atlanta sound' is only b/c atlanta is the south's primary business magne...

lol just to be clear i don't think keef invented dread shaking. And I know Keef watched Trel videos, so if you're looking for a line of influence its there. although i still think the dgainz & kenn styles have a pretty distinctive look vs. blaqstar's shit. it does look to me like the way its done in...

technically he was born in germany but he came up in the bay yeah
