I was sort of joking about the coco song, its a banger though and the hook gets stuck in your head within two plays.
Don't really see what's special about the Reese tune tbh. I'd like to know how he could be considered "incredible" tbh cos to me he's the weakest of the GBE boys as a rapper. On the subject of Chicago, the new Keef tape is really worth a listen cos he produces it himself and the production is mental. Weird and grimey and minimal and amateurish, reminds me of 'Bang'.
Actual best rap songs of the last month include
Lil Boosie - No Juice, I'm Wit Ya
Bobby Shmurda - Wipe The Case Away
Future - Gangland, Hardly

Coco has a certain swagger about it, and I agree about the hook. It feels like a kinda hip hop end point. The distillation of certain trends down to totally simple forms. But the thought of listening to a whole tape by that guy makes me want to put a gun in my mouth.
I do like the new Boosie stuff actually, that is hard.

coco is great, i love it. this one probably needs to get a mention too as it's on a similar tip. reminds me of ODB's shimmy shimmy or something - stripped back piano, totally unhinged vocals. the video's great too. inspiration for countless hilarious vines, and just a really good value track in general i reckon.

Coco is big dumb fun. Busta Rhymes almost bustad his head open stagediving to it the other night.
I was listening to Future's "Monster" tape earlier and its really grown on me. A few clunkers but some really great stuff too. The title track has a beat that sounds like Clips/DJ Hazard jump up DNB slowed down, and Future is so great on it. "Hardly" is as emotionally stirring as anything he's done too.
The Boosie tape is slightly uneven but I reckon he COULD drop a classic album soon.

that keef tape is pretty great, though ive only heard a few songs so far (i like farm). weird how his career/sound has gone.

Cocoa is trash. It's literally a diluted version of "We Dem Boyz" which is a diluted version of "Hate Being Sober", which is proof that Young Chop was never supposed to be the one who blew up.
OG Maco is fucking garbage as well.
All these labels mistaking reductionist young kids learning how to rap with middle class kids making purposely stupid lowest common denominator rap is tiring as fuck.

Listening to OG Maco and the Coco song, I kinda feel vaguely interested that that's what some people are doing right now. But utterly no sense of excitement. I feel kinda like an anthropologist studying music, more than anything. I have some of this stuff on a comp a friend did me and I feel like I listen to it out of a sense of duty, "keeping up" but really I feel that's it's pretty boring.
The last thing I actually rewound due to being excited was Gunplay, 50 Bars, which is str8 killer.

this is pretty much my reaction to most new rap. :slanted:
maybe im just getting old, but is my reaction to a lot of new music actually. there is stuff that i still like of course, but it does seem like diminishing returns on the whole, or maybe its just how im listening to it.
