Also this but it’s more odd than spooky, it’s MC Ride’s bro.

I now only respect rap and cumbia artistes that are running at least level III vests and shell catchers and they put that radio sound in the beat somewhere

 

Certified hood orten classic

Some madlad made Gary Gadget rapping about drugs, hoes, guns and bombs. A prime example of Swedish assimilation. Too good to not archive, since it's a big part of Swedish meme history.

Will check out Injury Reserve and JPEGMAFIA. For some reason I was always convinced that the latter is one of those Tekashi 69 looking clowns. I don't know why.

I should've mentioned that I know and like them a lot. Post Haste is awesome, that beat makes my skin crawl (starts at 32:45). They're on the same label as ShrapKnel, which I mentioned in my post.

Totally random, so potential thread tax, but this is one of the funniest stories in hip hop (to me at least) from the last decade . Lil Pump was tricked by his fans into thinking he was on a Playboi Carti song, so he recorded a verse and sent the finished song in, not knowing that he was getting bs'd. The song gets "dropped" unofficially, and everyone praises it, liking Pumps verse and assuming it's just another unreleased song.

Why doesn't this nigger just start making music again? I never thought I'd say Lil Pump is "skilled" at anything but his rapping has improved significantly since his big blow up. I'd leverage my connections, get a big feature and drop a comeback single, it'd be better than tooling around with kick streamers making an ass out of himself.
 
In general, I just can't understand the appeal of NBA Youngboy. Okay, I can, ghetto niggers love lyrics about unloading clips and packing switches, but I can't stand him nasally sing-rapping about spinning the block and dropping the opps. It's even more baffling that he gets good critical reviews. All his songs sound the same, 21 Savage and DaBaby get clowned for that, but YB gets a pass.

In general, what's with this trend of sing-rapping being considered the hardest gang thug music? Didn't Ja Rule get called soft in the 00s for singing?

Youngboy is one of those rappers who has hits and is played in alot of public places but is only taken seriously by people who only listen to that week's Top40. Any hip hop fan who has beyond surface level knowledge about the genre doesn't take him seriously and doesn't include him in talks about skill. YB is just the modern template of a "gangster" that misled youth in Georgia and Chicago want to emulate, just like how everyone wanted to be Lil Wayne or Tupac years ago. His buzz is purely word of mouth and memes, wiggers especially act like he's the messiah and nobody will ever top his last projects. Lil Baby is in the same box as him but his music is worse, he's so generic that he could take songs from his last album and rerelease them on a new album and I doubt anyone would notice.

I think even casual listeners have gotten tired of the generic Atlanta sounding bubble that the music industry is in right now, anyone doing anything different is just a breath of fresh air. It's a real shame that the East and West Coasts (and even to an extent the Mid-West) lost their own sounds, everyone just tries to sound like they're from Atlanta.

I think that was more-so during after his beef with 50 Cent and G-Unit. Early on he tried taking Tupac's image and fumbled a collab album with Jay-Z and DMX (because he fell out with DMX) but still bit their styles on his newer songs. After his disses like Clap Back flopped and didn't stick he tried going back to his old formula of being a Diet-Tupac and doing songs with Ashanti or whoever, so people (even people on Shady/Aftermath) started shitting on him because he couldn't make a decent response and just went back to singing like nothing ever happened. It didn't help that 50 and the guys from G-Unit were all running the early to mid 00's, they all had platinum debut albums (even Tony Yayo) so they were inescapable and would trash talk Ja, his labelmates, and Irv Gotti at any chance they could. 50 Cent and G-Unit were so big that nothing Ja or anyone else could do would affect them, and Ja's career had been on a decline ever since he responded to 50.
