bandz ahoy
this is getting a lot of hype... I think it's alright.
Heard a bit of 'Writing on the Wall 2' yesterday. Sounding good, the Lex tune (''Tragedy'') is a certified banger. It sounds pretty much the same as every other Lex tune but Gucci is a lot less bland than the average Lex-utilising rapper.

Yeah, but the thing about Gucci and Lex is they have no chemistry whatsoever. IMO, "Tragedy" is one of the worst songs on the tape, and a really sluggish start. I just wish people would stop forcing this "Lex & Gucci" thing to happen... He does really great on the Southside record, Drumma's laced him very well. Obviously Supa Cold is just WOW.
The Tyler & Pusha record is only important because it's the first departure of Tyler from his team's production on a formal level. But all this fucking with old people lets me down.

what does everything reckon of the lil b album? I really like it. Doesn't quite hit the heights of his best internet stuff eg "motivation" or "myspace" but there's some nice stuff on there. He posted the itunes link for it about ten times in a row on twitter, and then posted a mediafire link for it for anyone who "can't afford the $10", what a guy.
plus i'm sure it's been mentioned already but the juicy j / lex luger mixtape is excellent

Yeah I actually bought it off itunes purely because of that, so if it was a cunning ploy then it worked. I like it quite a lot. It's a shame he wasn't about when I was an angsty-ish teenager, I think I would have been totally obsessed.
It's an amazing performance from him, I feel that it comes in response to his many haters as the mixtape's characteristics are serious issues, complex lyricism and throwback 90's production. Its quite a conservative mixtape apart from the title.
When Lil B announced that it was gonna be called I'm Gay I expected loads of silly tunes about how gay he is, chipmunked al green samples over wonton soupy beats with a long hippyish intro about how much love hes got for his fellow man etc...
I felt a bit misled that it was a lot safer than that but it is still executed impeccably. I just hope this doesn't mean the death of his more wacked out tunes that are a lot more fun and nothing like anyone else is doing. BIEBER BIEBER BIEBER BIEBER BIEBER looool
a friend ran into Lil B at a recent James Ferraro show in LA, which really makes a lot of sense
he feels more like post-everything psychedelia to me than anything else, the kid is really just a Berkeley hippie making what may be some of the first actual "internet" music... really seems to be one of the first artists where his music actually seems to not only inhabit, but come from Net space .
I mean living in Berkeley now myself there's no mistaking what a product he is of this place as well, he's as Berkeley/Bay Area as OFWGKTA are suburban SoCal, but then a lot of what the Net came out of, and the rhetoric around it, is a hippie Bay Area thing anyways... many aspects of Net culture grow out of Bay Area culture...

Except he's still making songs that are 'other rapper' songs.
"This is my, 'I was listening to MBDTF, and now I'mma sound like Pusha-T ghostwriting for Kanye' song. This is my Fake Drake song." etc. etc.

You read that one too?
The Johnny Juice one is a myth. The reality is that Kamron from Young Black Teenagers was the DJ on "Don't Sweat The Technique". That said, he's responsible for the scratches on "Juice", which makes him responsible for one of the best transitions EVER.
I actually learned a hilarious story about Kamron and Necro. Doubt anyone cares as Necro's regarded so poorly by people with 'taste' (AKA People who like watching fat mediocre Brooklyn Black Dudes rap over his beats instead).
