cover of the fader

is it me or is dude overrated garb & this is the logical endpoint of gangster authenticity fetishism

[david111]

i say this as a guy who has unapologetically stanned for jeezy, gucci, keef, kodak, etc.

[ANU]

not a big fan of 21 but savage mode is one of the best tape of the year.

[blastmaster]

Not sure a all of that meta positioning, but dude's deadpan flow just works. Gun noises too.

[sleazy_j]

ballerina look like jumpman

[djjeffresh]

[paul_smith]

[Gyangsta 4 Life]

^Saddingly, nah.

This my fav shit this year. Nothing is better.

[Career Over Like Mike(NJJ)]

^ I've seen loadsa ppl sweatin' part 3 of that too.



I can't get with the foreign language raps unless it's them Afrobeats artists who flip from English into Ghanaian or Nigerian and then back to English again in the space of a verse. Ie:

Kwamz & Flava w/ the Coast2Coast roster - Stop Stalling

[Gyangsta 4 Life]

"Stop Stalling" is tight. Thugger would be amazing on a riddim like that.

Actually, it definitely has "Pick Up the Phone" vibes.. The instrumentation and the vocals. Similar chord progression too.

These Dallas rappers have been blowing up locally, and it's not hard to see why. Their collab mixtape Crazy Colors is some of their best work yet. They have an amazing old school vibe and I highly recommend anybody who likes hip-hop music to listen through this top to bottom
