That makes a lot of sense. Isn't Y.O.D mad young? Like early 20's? He doesn't rap like a young dude and his references are very much what I'd expect from a dude over 30.
ironically, despite the name and location, i don't think he's russian. i might be wrong tho

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
so are you guys going to have a referendum to further investigate if a well known russian neighborhood has some russian people in it, or has the current study provided sufficiently satisfactory results?Race Car Bed Sleeping Rapist Virgin wrote:Yeah, I was fuckin a girl in sheepshead, mad russians.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
I'm not convinced either tbh. I mean people say a lot of russians live there, and Euge lives there and I've met a lot of other russians who live there but who knows... This Droog guy is not russian so obviously the neighborhood's whole reputation is a white (or possibly mixed-race or white but kinda swarthy) lie

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
honestly, Nasir'll possibly think this is cute for a minute... then he might could just shut it down
you think Nas is serious when he says shit like "pass the crown to J. Cole" and whateva whateva?
God's Son ain't gonna sit back on his laurels and let Droog take his spot, just like being alive will always SON Action Bronson's attempts at mainstream success
justice. fuck, that's delicious

still like Rast way better than Droog but i'm not mad at the combo at all. Glad they got P Brothers instead of generic boombap defaults like Statik or Marco Polo

That was dope. I dunno if I like Rast more than YOD but they make a great team. Pretty hyped they're doing an EP together.

you gotta let this go, man. bronson is solid on his own and if you listen to him for more than 3 minutes you can hear that he is not a ghostface clone.Mindbender Futurama wrote:honestly, Nasir'll possibly think this is cute for a minute... then he might could just shut it down

i feel like youre the only person still trying to front like he does nothing but ghostface karaoke.
i dont think nas could shut anything down either, droog has a similar vocal timbre and a throwback feel (which is what you pine for, so i dunno why you're so offended), hes not dropping nas verses with a couple of words changed or anything and running around with a QB chain on
i dig that new track tho. will have to check more rast shit as well

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
nah, I don't mean strong arm YOD into retiring like Ghostface did to Ma$e
I just mean, if YOD actually got some mainstream momentum going, I think it wouldn't go too far... I really like what I hear, I can't front, but still... there is NO WAY anyone can say this guy isn't a clone of Nas
and Rakim's Rules still apply to rap, bruh
and fuck Action Bronson. he's damn near everything wrong with modern hip hop, wrapped in one human being.

Isn't Sacha Jenkins/Ego Trip/Mass Appeal behind YOD? Isn't Nas a Mass Appeal owner?
I'm guessing he knows about YOD and doesn't give a shit.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
Nas is a Mass Appeal investor as far as I know. Yeah he's naming a label after it.
I doubt Nas knows about everything Mass Appeal blogs about, but he probably knows about YOD.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
I was curious about the mass appeal connection too.
Nas and Jenkins are starting a label AND I know that they both love Rast (Jenkins wrote the Mass appeal article about him and , apparently, it was Nas who put him onto Rast in the first place), who randomly does an EP with YOD. I don't think he's Nas (cause it's been proven otherwise) but pretty much everything about this plays into that theory perfectly.

I'm slowly coming into thinking that YOD is the first case of a retro-leaning rapper (as opposed to a tumblr-bait mishka mascot) being semi-subtly propped up behind the scenes to become some sort of a 'happening'Blockhead wrote:I don't think he's Nas (cause it's been proven otherwise) but pretty much everything about this plays into that theory perfectly.

I think the attention is from people thinking he was Nas. Not being sure. It's the mystery from them. They go to the show and its not Nas they're gonna be mad.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
i thought people were merely joking when they said it was nas.
but i just fished my way through an actual conversation about this with someone who was not joking.
people actually believe this dude is nas.
i think that's special.
with that said, dude is pretty dope.
looking forward to hearing more material.

i think it's slightly lame that he's so similar that ppl literally think he's nas. give him some space tho and he'll take it in his own direction. ppl thought nas sounded like g rap after all.sean wrote: i think that's special.
i've listened to a couple albums & tapes by bronson. it's obvious he's a ghostface biter. voice & flow is blatant. the non-sequiturs he drops & his style of comedy are on some ghost shit. bronsolini=ghost dini. i'll give it to him that the psycho killer schtick is stolen from em rather than ghost tho. may be moving more in his own direction but still well within ghost's lane.you gotta let this go, man. bronson is solid on his own and if you listen to him for more than 3 minutes you can hear that he is not a ghostface clone.
i'll admit that he's actually good at it. if you're fiending for some ghost shit, bronson is the dude to go to right now rather than dude himself.

It's crazy. I've had people talk to me about this like it was the illuminati at work. The funny thing is, outside of the voice, I don't think he raps like Nas at all. Like, if he had Busta rhymes voice, NO ONE would be "but he raps like Nas!".sean wrote:i thought people were merely joking when they said it was nas.

i'm most definitely not hating, just trying to understand this.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
there was some similarity imo. but nas developed his own style fast. others were saying he sounded like rakim (which is more of a stretch).
it's ok to draw influence from the top guys. hell, g rap sounded like LL when he first came out. but if you don't bring something new to it you'll be written off as a gimmick.
